This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

00:01:22 - 00:02:06 | Speaker 1:

My name is Medterica, Terry LaMille, and my major is general education. Some of the obstacles I have overcame at Bishop State is proving that I can show up consistently even when my life was heavy. There are moments where I still feel overwhelmed by balancing work, leadership, parenting, and school, but Bishop reminded me that I'm capable of growth and not perfection, that I'm supported as long as I'm committed to being a better person than I was yesterday. My peers can depend on me. I'm there being poured into, But some of those students don't know that the faculty and staff are really there for them. So when they don't know that, I'm their resource that explain and show them that they're here to help us.

00:02:07 - 00:02:14 | Speaker 3:

00:02:14 - 00:02:25 | Speaker 6:

Mojo in the Morning Show. I was trying to figure out what's going on with this. And am I writing this? Are we having or not having a holiday party, a company holiday party?

00:02:25 - 00:02:34 | Speaker 8:

Somebody said that yesterday. That was the first time I ever heard about it. I don't know. We kind of are, I think. No, we are. Oh, no. No, we are, but it's not just for us.

00:02:35 - 00:02:35 | Speaker 6:

Well.

00:02:35 - 00:02:38 | Speaker 8:

It's for us and families. Yes. Yeah.

00:02:38 - 00:02:42 | Speaker 6:

Us and, well, that's how it should be, right? Our families, right? I like when you can bring your spouse and to these holidays.

00:02:42 - 00:02:46 | Speaker 8:

But this made it seem like you could bring, like, your kids.

00:02:46 - 00:02:49 | Speaker 6:

You could bring kids? It said family. I don't know. Maybe I read it.

00:02:49 - 00:02:50 | Speaker 8:

I read it very, very briefly.

00:02:50 - 00:02:52 | Speaker 6:

Really? You don't like the...

00:02:52 - 00:02:55 | Speaker 8:

My holiday party is you come and you get drunk.

00:02:56 - 00:03:27 | Speaker 6:

You want to get drunk at the holiday party and flirt with the receptionist? No, I'm not saying to do all of that. You just come and you get drunk. That's my idea of a holiday party. So here, this is the interesting part. I was looking at some of the other companies. I work with some of the other shows and stuff, and one of them is I get a chance to work with the guys down in Tampa. They had their party on Friday, and it looked like their party was at some place that was right on the water, which would look really cool. And then Paul, our old boss, is running the L.A., California stations. They're having their holiday party, if they already didn't have it, at Disneyland.

00:03:28 - 00:03:32 | Speaker 8:

What? Shut up. C-Dog, what the hell? Wait, okay. I'm so jealous. Which I saw.

00:03:33 - 00:03:38 | Speaker 6:

It was amazing. Oh, here's our holiday party. Our holiday party. Yeah, you're right. Thursday. I'm like, geez, that thing came up on me.

00:03:39 - 00:03:48 | Speaker 8:

Thursday. I already have plans that I canceled once for something else work-related, and I don't want to cancel on these people again. So I don't know that I'm going to come.

00:03:48 - 00:03:51 | Speaker 6:

You're going to look like a non-company employee.

00:03:51 - 00:03:55 | Speaker 7:

No, I had an appointment over a month ago that I cannot cancel. I can't.

00:03:55 - 00:04:28 | Speaker 6:

Well, I don't have anything, but I'm going to go. The only bummer is that it's the same week of Jingle Ball, which is kind of tough because this is such a long week for all of us. Where is he? In that and breaking in and Christmas Wish. What's that? The party. Where is it? It's here at the station. Which, by the way, I don't want to do this because Colleen is like, I actually like Colleen. She's probably one of the few bosses that I actually really, really love. The rest of them are all a-holes that we've had, including that Paul Corvino guy for having that Disneyland party. But I...

00:04:28 - 00:04:29 | Speaker 8:

He threw some good parties.

00:04:29 - 00:04:35 | Speaker 6:

You can't have a company holiday party that's like a potluck. It can't be at your work. It's got to...

00:04:35 - 00:04:43 | Speaker 7:

It's not the 80s. I'm with you at... Where people are doing drugs and scanning, printing their butts.

00:04:43 - 00:04:51 | Speaker 6:

Or what was that show? The show where it was like they were in the ad agency and stuff like that. I didn't ever watch it. The Traitors? No.

00:04:51 - 00:04:52 | Speaker 8:

No, Mad Men?

00:04:52 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 6:

Mad Men. It's not like Mad Men, the days of Mad Men when it was called a holiday party. Basically, they were just fooling around with each other in the office.

00:05:00 - 00:05:02 | Speaker 2:

I would say once Quaalude stopped being a thing, started off his parties.

00:05:02 - 00:05:03 | Speaker 4:

Yes.

00:05:03 - 00:05:14 | Speaker 2:

I did love the years that we had parties, and it was mostly when Paul was here, and we got to get super dressed up, and it was like a fun, fancy night out. That was really fun.

00:05:14 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 4:

Well, he also had it at his house, too, which was pretty cool. Can I say this? You call us up and tell us the best holiday party that you've ever gone to. Right. Because I heard UWM had their holiday party last week, and I heard that, and this is UWM, which is a big mortgage company that's owned by Matt Ishbia.

00:05:29 - 00:05:29 | Speaker 3:

Yeah.

00:05:30 - 00:05:32 | Speaker 4:

And they had Pitbull performing at their holiday party.

00:05:33 - 00:06:21 | Speaker 3:

It was insanity. My old quick and long days, that's why I wanted to work for that organization. Prior to me working for the organization. Prior to me working. Organization. Yeah. Prior to that, I went to a holiday party. That was the crazy. It was three levels of fun. Every level had a different theme. What? As soon as you walk in, it was a guy painted to look like the statue of Detroit, like the spirit of Detroit. He stayed like that the entire day. Poor bastard. Like, he literally stayed like that. The second level was like this freaky earth level where it was like, I sat there, I just felt like I was on mushrooms. They had, um, I don't know the proper term. Where were you, Kev? No, no, I was on Hennessy. I don't know the proper term, but they had little people walking around. Yeah, there you go. No, no, no, that's right, that's right. It was like fake trees around, people dressed up like minotaurs. It was crazy, bro.

00:06:21 - 00:06:57 | Speaker 2:

So, the very first radio company that I ever worked for, my first radio job, shout out to ms communications because they would throw a party and their building was right in downtown indianapolis it was beautiful and it was at like like ours is on thursday it was it was at the radio station but the stuff they gave out and everybody got something they would always do like a casino thing you'd go home with like big screen tvs a thousand dollar check an entire spa day a weekend vacation airline tickets i mean nobody went home with less than like i don't know a $500 prize value, something.

00:06:57 - 00:07:40 | Speaker 4:

My last holiday party I had when I was in Arizona and before I moved back to the Midwest and moved back to Detroit, Debbie Wagner was the general manager and we didn't have it at Christmas. She said, we're having it in January because we're going to do more because we can spend more. And we had it at a resort in town called the Westin La Paloma. and every employee got a room at the Westin La Paloma because January was kind of a dead for the holiday or the hotels. Everybody got a room. We partied all night on Friday and then it turned into a hotel-like hookup party. It was crazy. It was. It was like our, and when I mean that, I mean, I'm talking about like our party that we threw, not that we all hooked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like where everybody was just having fun.

00:07:40 - 00:07:40 | Speaker 3:

Clean that up, sir.

00:07:41 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 4:

But we went home. Chelsea and I went home and had our own hookup. That was through the days. But let me. Hey, Joe. So, hold on. I want to know the best holiday parties that you guys have ever had. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548 is our telephone number. Best holiday party, the best holiday party. Austin has been waiting patiently. Austin.

00:08:05 - 00:08:06 | Speaker 1:

Hey, guys. Good morning.

00:08:07 - 00:08:10 | Speaker 4:

Good morning. Best holiday work party that you ever had.

00:08:11 - 00:08:27 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we just worked for a Ford dealership, a car dealership, and we were at a really nice facility. It was an open bar, and the owner of the dealership gave everybody a gift. I think it was a live-screen TV. It was concert tickets. Basically, as soon as your date got drawn, you got to go up and take whatever you wanted.

00:08:28 - 00:08:29 | Speaker 2:

That is awesome.

00:08:29 - 00:08:30 | Speaker 4:

So it's made—

00:08:30 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 1:

We had a great time. We drank a lot. It was fantastic.

00:08:33 - 00:08:35 | Speaker 4:

What dealership was that? Do you want to call it out?

00:08:36 - 00:08:39 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, so Stillwell, Fort Lincoln, in Hillsdale, Michigan.

00:08:40 - 00:08:57 | Speaker 4:

Okay. Because can I tell you, our friends at Zot, so the guys over there, you know, Steve, Guevara we talk about all the time, but Todd and Thad Zott and their entire family, they put on their holiday party, I think it was on Sunday, and the rumor has it they spend more than $50,000 in door prices.

00:08:57 - 00:08:59 | Speaker 1:

What? Okay, did I get in your fight?

00:09:00 - 00:09:15 | Speaker 4:

That's amazing. So they're good people, man. They take care of the employees. That's awesome, man. Maybe we need to start selling cars. What do we need? Mike Porter, are you listening to Gordon Chevrolet? What's going on, Tammy? Hi, good morning. Good morning, Tammy. Best?

00:09:15 - 00:09:47 | Speaker 5:

work holiday party so my previous bosses were the best they would do themed summer parties for like staff appreciation from project runway to clue to painting but our christmas parties we always got super spoiled they would cook we would get drinks we would play trivia to earn like monopoly money and then we would auction like 100 bags and it would be from cash to gift cards to get gifts to fun gifts, just fun, fun, fun stuff. That's good.

00:09:48 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 4:

That's so cool. Tammy, would you guys all hook up with each other afterwards, Sue? No. I'm just asking. I'm just wondering. I don't know. Can you imagine if she doesn't sound like such a nice lady? It's like, yeah, we all hooked up with each other afterwards.

00:10:00 - 00:10:01 | Speaker 2:

Anna, what's going on?

00:10:02 - 00:10:04 | Speaker 8:

Hi, guys. Good morning. Good morning.

00:10:05 - 00:10:07 | Speaker 2:

Shannon, you would hate this. Oh, my God.

00:10:07 - 00:10:10 | Speaker 8:

I can already tell you where it is, and I don't even see the call screen.

00:10:11 - 00:10:11 | Speaker 2:

Go ahead, Anna.

00:10:13 - 00:10:28 | Speaker 6:

When I used to work at Big Blue Slim School, the owner would come down during Christmas time, and they would take us to Dave & Buster's and give us a whole card to be able to play for the whole night. Shannon hates this.

00:10:28 - 00:10:38 | Speaker 8:

I literally hate David Buster's. I love David Buster's. No, I would sit my ass at home in my Christmas pajamas and drink by myself. We did. No, that would be so much more fun.

00:10:39 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 2:

You're a mean one, Miss Shannon.

00:10:42 - 00:10:45 | Speaker 8:

You know, your butt would be sitting right next to me, Megan Mack.

00:10:45 - 00:10:51 | Speaker 2:

By the way, we did that, Anna. We did that one year. That was our thing. Shannon gets the card. She looked at it like.

00:10:51 - 00:10:52 | Speaker 8:

I'm not doing this.

00:10:52 - 00:10:54 | Speaker 2:

We all wanted to buy it from her.

00:10:54 - 00:10:56 | Speaker 8:

I hate David Buster's. I love DB.

00:10:57 - 00:10:58 | Speaker 2:

What's up, Wendy? How you doing?

00:10:59 - 00:11:00 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, we're cool like that. Good morning.

00:11:01 - 00:11:03 | Speaker 2:

Good morning. What's going on? We're talking about the best holiday work parties.

00:11:04 - 00:11:17 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, so I'm listening to all these amazing work parties you guys had, and I think I made a poor career choice. I got a free company sweatshirt and mandatory overtime. Oh, hell yeah.

00:11:18 - 00:11:21 | Speaker 1:

Hell yeah. Happy holidays. Happy holidays.

00:11:22 - 00:11:28 | Speaker 2:

Alexis, I want to work for one of the dispensaries. I heard the dispensaries do crazy parties. What's up?

00:11:29 - 00:11:49 | Speaker 3:

Yes, it was amazing. They rented out a hookah lounge because they smoke hookah in this place. They let us light up our joints and stuff, and they gave us bags and bags full of top shelf. We got flour, disposables, pre-rolls. It was insane. You hiring? Rolling doobies!

00:11:49 - 00:12:05 | Speaker 2:

We need to see if there's any way we can get, because we can't advertise the cannabis shops on the air, but maybe we can get puff cannabis or the greenhouse or something like that. Maybe we can get those guys to sponsor our holiday party. Let's make it a green Christmas around here. Let's talk to Colleen about that. What's up, Poncho?

00:12:06 - 00:12:08 | Speaker 7:

Good morning. Good morning.

00:12:08 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 2:

I don't even know what you do for a living, Poncho. What do you do for a living? You call us? We have no clue.

00:12:13 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 7:

Depends on the year. Okay. You switch jobs a lot? I deliver milk now.

00:12:17 - 00:12:22 | Speaker 2:

Okay. Are people still getting milk delivered? I might be a little... Is that like a...

00:12:22 - 00:12:26 | Speaker 8:

You work for like Calder or Guernsey? Who do you work for?

00:12:26 - 00:12:28 | Speaker 2:

You go to people's homes and have sex with their wives. What is the story?

00:12:30 - 00:12:33 | Speaker 7:

I work for Country Fresh. I deliver milk to the stores. Oh, okay.

00:12:33 - 00:12:34 | Speaker 8:

Oh, to the stores.

00:12:34 - 00:12:38 | Speaker 2:

Okay. What was the best holiday party you ever had at one of those many jobs you've had?

00:12:39 - 00:12:52 | Speaker 7:

About five years ago when I worked in construction doing concrete, we would have Christmas parties who'd give us a bonus of a couple thousand dollars, but they had a bingo. I won a 65-inch TV that year.

00:12:52 - 00:12:57 | Speaker 2:

Oh, my gosh. 65-inch TV. That's sweet. Do you have to bring that home, though, when you're drunk from the party?

00:12:58 - 00:12:59 | Speaker 7:

I brought it home. I wasn't drinking that night.

00:13:00 - 00:13:07 | Speaker 2:

You put it in an Uber. I'm sorry. I'm going home with my 65-inch television. Christina, this is a great one. Work for the Marriott guys. What did you guys do?

00:13:10 - 00:13:27 | Speaker 5:

Well, in college, I went to Michigan State, and my boyfriend worked at Marriott right there. And their party was in the ballroom. They gave you free, like, ham. But everyone got a trip to any Marriott in the world. and the grand prize was Hawaii or Paris. Are you kidding me? Oh, my gosh.

00:13:27 - 00:13:28 | Speaker 2:

That sounds incredible.

00:13:28 - 00:13:29 | Speaker 5:

It was awesome.

00:13:29 - 00:13:31 | Speaker 2:

Did you say they gave you free ham?

00:13:32 - 00:13:34 | Speaker 5:

And a ham, yes. And a ham.

00:13:34 - 00:13:36 | Speaker 2:

Give me a ham.

00:13:36 - 00:13:37 | Speaker 5:

I love it.

00:13:37 - 00:13:40 | Speaker 2:

It's so random, though. What city did you get a trip to?

00:13:41 - 00:13:54 | Speaker 5:

We went to Glen Arbor up north to the Sea Lodge. It was beautiful. And it was like a two-night, three-day trip. Everything, all expenses paid for. It was so romantic, and yeah.

00:13:54 - 00:13:57 | Speaker 8:

That is a great holiday party.

00:13:57 - 00:14:00 | Speaker 3:

Dude, any singles at Marriott, sign in my DMs.

00:14:00 - 00:14:06 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. One last one here. Ann, your party was so crazy. What did the coworkers do on Friday?

00:14:06 - 00:14:32 | Speaker 4:

Well, it was a Friday Christmas party, and they served liquor, food, Christmas jingles, the whole gamut. So by the end of the night, people were dancing on the cafeteria tables. people were flying through the parking lot someone almost got hit so on monday when we came back to work there were speed bumps in the parking lot that's amazing by the way we're having

00:14:32 - 00:14:45 | Speaker 2:

our party here at the station and i think that colleen was smart to have the families all be invited because can you imagine we have our party here we all get drunk in the next morning everybody's like they went on the radio last night did you hear what they said they've taken over cities

This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

00:16:21 - 00:17:06 | Speaker 6:

My name is Patrick Fetway, and I am getting my Associates of Science and General Education with an emphasis in business administration. To me, it was a no-brainer. When you go out here and you're looking for funding to go back to college as a 40-year-old man, I got six people in my household. The extra money just doesn't just grow out of trees. For me to be able to be accepted through FAFSA and to have Bishop State pay for all of my tuition, not only that, but the curriculums, you know, they make it so easy to understand on their website. Like I said, I'm a 40-year-old man, so I don't use technology too much, but it was very understandable where I needed to go. It was extremely fast. These past two years, things have just moved in a total different type of way. It's like its own moving entity to see things manifest the way that they do.

00:17:06 - 00:17:13 | Speaker 4:
