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.

I would say Bishop State's like a home for people. It may not be like a four-year where you have a dorm, you have a roommate, you have a rec center, But it's still a place you can go meet new people, classmates, put in the hallway, make friends with advisors on all these teachers and everything like that. It's just a place you can feel like yourself and not try to be the thing you don't want to be. With this program, I learned networking a lot. We've had two dinners with heads of different companies dealing with shipping or even game design builds, dealing with AutoCAD or 3D modeling. So really being able to meet new people or meet heads of new people has been really helpful. I don't come from a wealthy family, so four years, we're kind of not out the picture. but less probable for me to go to. Bishop State with my scholarship, it cut my price in half and made it way easier for me to go to school for the same 12 credits I would go for a four-year.

If turkeys go extinct and we start eating roadkill on Thanksgiving, I got gibbs on the raccoon. Happy Thanksgiving. This is Mojo in the Morning.

I feel like this is such an annual tradition on our show that can never stop. It's almost as if this tradition is as great as loading up your F-150, heading up north with your friends, sitting around in a deer blind and enjoying yourself, trying to get yourself a little venison chili, right? Except for this is our annual Thanksgiving tradition where this morning on the show, we're going to be shooting a turkey. It's Mojo in the Morning Show. And this was the weirdest part of this whole thing. We're coming to you live from our new studios, which, yes, are in Eastern Market in downtown Detroit, so they're no longer in the suburbs. And so it was, how are we going to do this thing? Like, will even the city of Detroit allow us to do this? Yes, they will. You want to know why? Because we haven't asked them if it's okay. That's exactly right. Let's go outside right now to everybody. Good morning. Hey, guys. Can you guys hear me out there? Hello? Are we out there? Hello, hello? Nobody there? Then let's do this. Hold on. Let me, should I pick up, I'll pick up Megan on her phone line here. Megan, are you there?

Yeah, we're talking to you.

Oh, really? I can't hear her on the microphone. Check a one, two. Check a one, two. Does somebody turn the microphone on? Okay.

Oh, no, you're stuck with me.

All right. No, it's okay. Describe what's going on out there.

Well, I got to tell you, it's about negative 70 degrees out here, so that's going to be great. But I love the fact that Victor is in a very small lane, so I'm going to get a lot of good shots in here. He can't run. That's going to be great. They're practicing firing the paintballs right now, I'll make sure all the firearms work properly for my hunting spree.

Wait, so when you say it's negative, I'm looking at the actual weather, and it does, it's a lot colder than what it was. I mean, yesterday might have been our last nice day that we had of temperatures that were, you know, in the high 40s. We're going down, by the way, guys, into 30-degree weather for the rest of the year, it looks like. Is it that cold?

Well, our official weather lady just said it's 38 degrees. So doesn't that mean the paintballs get harder and that's going to, you know, handle a little bit harder?

Oh, one can only help.

right all right my fingers are crossed is what is he doing is he stuffing his turkey right now

yeah he's uh he's pacing around he did some heavy stretches for the groin area he was specifically focused on that area like it's what he's trying to protect the most i'm not really sure as to why

but whatever he feels works works okay all right um well megan's on the phone here where they're still trying to figure out it's funny because i just had literally just had alissa talking on

that microphone yes oh there you are talking oh hey there you are all right okay megan put you

back on hold go talk to the microphone go talk god that was so stressful okay i'm gonna hand it to kevin now what what happened did somebody uh forget to put a battery in or something you know radio is radio i like that alissa by the way your attitude is the greatest attitude ever i First off, are you in college, or what are you?

I graduated. From where? From Wayne State University.

They taught you well. Whoever your professors were at Wayne State, they did a great job. Thank you. Your parents probably did better. All right, so pass that microphone off to, if you can, to Kev, because I think Kev's going to be, are you hosting it, Kev?

I'm here, man. We are live. Kev. We are ready. Kev.

What's up, Mojo? Can you get a little back story for me of the angst that Megan is feeling towards Victor? Maybe let's talk to Victor, the turkey.

So, Victor, he looks like Muhammad Ali preparing for a fight right now. I've never seen him so locked in, but he's taking a moment away from his preparation to come talk to us. Victor, how are you feeling right now? And more importantly, the follow-up question, what is the angst between you and Megan? Give us the origin story.

I'm feeling good. I just want to get this over with, and I don't even know who that person is.

Oh, my gosh. Megan, Megan, would you mind coming here for a second? This is as close as you'll be to Victor before you shoot him. From your vantage point, where did all this begin?

I think it all started on a birthday post on the Mojo in the Morning page where Victor said something really nasty and not happy birthday related, and it's been downhill since then.

Oh, man. You know what? Then I'm citing Megan. I'm Team Megan on this one, then. I want to see.

I think, are we Team Megan here today? I think we're Team Megan. Are we ready to get this started? I'm good with that. What are we doing?

Yeah.

All right, let's get it started. Oh, wait, hold on. Victor, are you ready?

Wait, hold on a second.

Final words from our turkey. Final words from our turkey.

Wait, hold on a second. Callers are saying they can't. Hold on real quick. Let me pick a call. Mojo in the morning, hello.

Hi, just letting you know we can't hear anything when you're talking to anybody. It's just quiet.

So you can't, wait, hold on. You can't, and where are you calling from? Where are you at?

I'm in Grand Rapids.

So it's only on Grand Rapids that this is happening for some reason, I think.

Oh, there you go.

Yeah, I don't understand that. All right. Why is it the Grand Rapids? Hold on, let me double check here. Debbie, are you in Grand Rapids also?

I'm in beautiful Muskegon, Michigan.

Okay, so it's definitely, it's whatever setting or something that SNX guys have that we lost Grand Rapids for some reason. I don't even know what that is, but that's crazy. Here, let me describe it to you. Victor's going to get his ass shot today. That's all you need to know, okay?

All right.

Thank you. Hold on. We're going to fix it. We're going to fix it for you. Jessica, you're also calling from SNX?

Yeah, I'm calling from the Holland area. You can't hear anything that anybody else is saying but you. So you sound like you're talking to yourself. Hilarious.

Is it? Thank you. I'm already in one of those moods right now because I'm excited for a long weekend, a Thanksgiving weekend. So, all right. Well, then why don't I do this? Why don't I, can I, I'll pick up the phone and we'll pick up Megan back on the phone. You could hear her when she was talking, right?

Yeah, I can hear Megan.

Okay. All right. I'm going back to the phones. Let's go to the phones.

Oh, no. You poor people are stuck with me.

Now, get Kev on the phone, on his cell phone.

My cell phone?

Yeah, put Kev on the cell phone, Lydia.

And we're on Facebook Live, too, so for anyone who wants to witness that.

Yeah, they can't hear you on that microphone, so talk. Hold on. Not everybody, although it is kind of funny to hear that the listeners say that it sounds like I'm losing my mind having a conversation with myself. All right, so Megan, it all started with a birthday post.

although you have to started let's let's be honest it didn't end there

okay so get let's is kavan one of these phones lydia he's calling he's calling right now okay all right all right this is uh beautiful we got war of the roses by the way coming up here in just a little bit

And a wife is worried that her husband is cheating with one of his coworkers. They work at a bar together. And not a great situation as to what he did when she walked in on him at work. All right, Kev. I'm on, baby. There you are. I love it. No longer am I crazy. Kev's on the phone.

Kev's on the phone.

Yes. Listen, I am in the alley with our shooters. They are walking. They are about to grab their paintball guns at first. We've got to decide who they're suiting for, right?

Okay, let's do the drawing of the three contestants that are going to have a chance to win a $1,000 StubHub gift card so they can go to see the game Thursday at Ford Field. Go ahead.

All right. So I'm going to randomly pick three names. Go ahead. Our first name is going to be someone from Redford. Is it Madeline or Madeline Baca? Madeline Baca. We got our first shooter. Our second shooter, hailing from Novi, Andre Washington. Andre. And last but not least, we're going to let Victor pick the last one. Victor. Pick a name, Victor.

We got them right here.

You guys are assassins. I love you guys so much, Lone Wolf.

We appreciate you. Look forward to doing this every single year with you.

Man, and by the way, I'm on time. You know why? Because you threatened to leave us. That's why I'm on time today. You sure did.

Yeah. Hey, it's radio, baby. It's hurry up and wait. We know how the show goes. I know. And listen, I got to... Don't forget Mojo, though. I got it. You got to shop LoneWolfPaintball.com.

LoneWolfPaintball.com. Where are you guys located, Lone Wolf Paintball?

We have our main warehouse in Clinton Township, Michigan. Currently have a $30,000 giveaway going until Cyber Monday, baby.

Are you serious? Holy crap. All right.

Go to the website.

Lonewolfpaintball.com. If you are good out there. Thanks, guys. I appreciate you guys. I don't know. I mean, it's like a decade of turkey shoots here. All right. My turkey, my friend, my mojo in the morning, misfit, Victor. How's he holding up here, Kev?

Say it one more time. Victor was telling me he needed a squeegee. He said the floor is a bit too wet, but he'll be fine.

Victor, don't slip and fall. You cannot injure yourself. If you do, call David Feminino.

Get David, get paid.com. This is unacceptable. I could have been on that side, not here.

Wait, what is going on? What's wrong, Victor?

We like our turkeys moist. The floor is wet from when they washed off the chalk outlines of the people that were killed back here. They didn't do a good job of squeegeeing this. This is where the landlord, Krista Kofokos, killed his pennies.

That's right. That's right. You hear that, Bob Pittman? You pay your rent on time. All right. Okay. Are we ready? So do we have all the paintball? Wait. Okay. So I want to make sure. Can I just hear what the paintball gun sounds like? Just one shot fired.

You play for her, you play for the middle, and then you play for the side.

So, who's playing for Madeline, who's playing for Andre, and who's playing for Monica?

All right, so Megan is playing for Madeline.

Megan?

Megan is playing for Monica. Okay. That means Shannon is playing for Andre. All right.

This is good. This is where things get good, guys. Thank you for your patience.

Our shooters are...

And remember...

They need to arm themselves right now.

Remember, guys, this is the deal. That the shooting doesn't go for the entire morning. It's like 90 seconds of shooting that we do. OK, so it's it's less than, you know, less than a little over a minute of shooting. Are we ready?

They are loading up right now. KP has the orange paintball shooting for out.

OK.

The white paintball. And what color is Megan?

This is on Facebook Live right now on Mojo in the Morning.

You cannot you're in the firing zone. Please do not stand there without goggles.

Yes. All right, all right.

Are we ready? On your mark. Oh, yeah, I'm starting to shoot. On your mark, get set, shoot.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I don't hear, I don't, I'm not hearing Victor. Oh, Victor. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, okay. All right. Ten seconds. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. That's it. That's it. That's it. Stop shooting, Megan.

is victor okay uh victor has left the building where did wait where did he where did he go is victor do we have do we have a uh a definitive winner yeah me no i'm the winner

Victor, by the way, I couldn't hear a thing. The audio was not as great as it could have been, but you live and learn. But you look fantastic. I'm looking at you right now on the Facebook Live.

Yeah, they say TV takes off at 10 pounds. So I feel great. By the way, you don't like having a bunch of sissies shoot at me.

Wait, you don't look like you put as much stuffing in as you have in the past.

Listen, there's no stuff here, no pillow, nothing. I wasn't worried about it. I had Shannon, who was worried about breaking a nail. KP was the one I was worried about. She probably shoots her dinner every night. Megan's afraid of guns because she's a liberal.

Wait, do we have a definitive winner? Do we have a winner?

Yeah, it's me.

Do we have a winner? Who do you think it was? Who's white? It's looking like, of all the colors, it looks like whoever shot the white gun.

The white.

Shannon is the winner.

Shannon, Andre from Novi is the winner. Andre from Novi.

Andre from Novi. Wow. You're on the phone with Mojo. We got Andre right here, Mojo. What do you got to ask him?

Andre, how does it make you feel? You got a $1,000 StubHub gift card that our good friends over at Zod Ford and Papa Romano's are giving you. You're going to go see the Lions play against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving, buddy.

It's going to be real exciting. I'm bringing the family, and we're going to have a really good time.

Congratulations to you, man. Happy Thanksgiving to you, pal.

Thank you very much. Happy Thanksgiving, Mojo. We love you, man.

We love you. Was it everything you expected it to be?

Yeah, it was pretty cool.

Was it fun? How good of a sport was Misfit Victor for doing this?

Big hug, though.

Big hug. Give him a hug. Give him a hug.

They're dapping each other up right now. I don't want to ruin his Kalahari sweater.

I'm surprised he didn't have so much padding. I've been to Lone Wolf, and I know how stinging their paintballs are. So shout out to Lone Wolf. You guys are pretty cool, too.

That is incredible. I love it. I love it. Well, thank you, buddy. Appreciate you. Congratulations to you. You guys come on in studio. Everybody but Victor. Victor, clean off. We got new carpeting in this place. I don't want to get ourselves into trouble. Day number one, okay? Victor is clearly in pain. Send the champion Shannon in because she's got to do the dirty on the 30. Right after they take their photo up. All right. Hold on. They're doing a photo. This is great radio. This is great radio. Oh, my God. By the way, I'm going to tell you this, that maybe the turkey shoot needs to be a suburban Farmington Hills thing only or something. I don't know. All right. We'll talk to you in a second. Here we go.

This Thanksgiving, share us a time with your family and reminders of why you moved away from them. This is Mojo in the Morning. They've taken over cities before, but this July, they're bringing...

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.

My name is Patrick Pettway, 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.
