00:02:16 - 00:02:20 | Speaker 1:

This is kind of wild.

00:02:21 - 00:03:16 | Speaker 5:

I didn't, I don't know. Isn't there like an age restriction on this one? But teens are using dating apps more than you think. So Northwestern did a study and found one in four teens are using dating apps, but no link to worse mental health over six months. I guess they came up with. Teens who use dating apps like Tinder or Bumble reported similar levels of depression or anxiety as non-users. Many users were LGBTQ plus teens, suggesting that the apps offered a safe place for connection. While the dating app users did show more risky behavior early on, it didn't lead to worse outcomes. um researchers say don't panic talk to your kids instead how old are you so if you're a teen what

00:03:16 - 00:03:19 | Speaker 6:

are you 18 19 that's what i'm wondering is that what they're saying that's how it ends what's

00:03:19 - 00:03:44 | Speaker 5:

you know what i would love well i know but i would like to know how like is there anybody that's under age because you're not well no you're on facebook yeah and in instagram and stuff like that and technically you're not supposed to be on there until a certain age do are there people like are there are there any teens that listen to us and i'm talking even younger than 18 that do dating apps and in our and if so because all you have to do is lie about your birthday

00:03:44 - 00:03:48 | Speaker 6:

yeah that's what that's not like they're do you have to upload your driver's license or anything

00:03:48 - 00:03:55 | Speaker 7:

when you use a dating app that's what i thought but per google it's exactly what you're saying it's just like it's like when you used to go on a porn site and it's like are you over 18 you click

00:03:55 - 00:04:26 | Speaker 5:

yes basically like that you can circumvent it if you're if you're under the age of the legal age which is what 18 years old and you're using it are you going on dates with people then or is that like that's scary because how what what would that do for you if you're somebody that is in your 20s and you go on a date and you and the person says that they're 18 years old and it turns out that you guys meet have sex or whatever now you're a pedophile and now you're considered a

00:04:26 - 00:04:35 | Speaker 7:

you consider to be a pedophile i'm telling you going on tinder some of these people do look younger than what their age is. Even if you see people on there that say they're 24, 23,

00:04:35 - 00:04:41 | Speaker 6:

you'd be looking like, you don't even look that up. If that happened to you, would you ask to see their ID?

00:04:42 - 00:04:42 | Speaker 7:

If they looked?

00:04:43 - 00:04:44 | Speaker 6:

If you were unsure.

00:04:45 - 00:04:47 | Speaker 7:

Yeah, probably. I probably just wouldn't. I ain't that desperate.

00:04:47 - 00:04:48 | Speaker 6:

No, I know.

00:04:48 - 00:04:55 | Speaker 7:

It sounds stupid, but I feel like you really have to protect yourself. Yeah, no, facts. I mean, what if you run into a situation where they got fake IDs?

00:04:56 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 5:

That's a thing, too. Text your hair.

00:05:00 - 00:05:10 | Speaker 4:

This is 248. 248 says, I won't go on the air because my family listens to you. I am under 18, and I am on hinge.

00:05:10 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 3:

No, you're unhinged.

00:05:13 - 00:05:15 | Speaker 4:

Can you imagine if you're a guy?

00:05:15 - 00:05:17 | Speaker 3:

I beat Josiah ass, boy.

00:05:18 - 00:05:33 | Speaker 4:

What would you do? So, first off, Josiah already acts like he's, like, 18. Like, he already acts like he is. I think he will be an older woman. Actually, Josiah looks like he's 12 years old. But when he opens up his mouth and starts talking, he's 66. You know?

00:05:33 - 00:05:37 | Speaker 3:

I think he will be with an older woman, but no. Why?

00:05:37 - 00:05:38 | Speaker 4:

Just because girls his age?

00:05:39 - 00:05:43 | Speaker 3:

I think so. Yeah, I think he'll look at girls like they're stupid. You know, I'm not sure.

00:05:44 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 4:

Man, this is wild. Look at all these texters that are. Call up. 844-MOJO-LIVE. If you are on a dating app or doing some kind of a dating, you know, online, and you are under the age of 18.

00:06:00 - 00:06:04 | Speaker 2:

Because there's no dating app for high school kids.

00:06:04 - 00:06:24 | Speaker 3:

Well, Pert, JGPT said there are very safe, age-appropriate platforms. One is called Yubo, formerly Yellow. Something that's called Spot a Friend. And then something that's called My LOL. Isn't Yubo also, though, for over 18 or no? I don't know. It just says, let's teens connect. But it's raised safety concerns in the past.

00:06:25 - 00:06:39 | Speaker 4:

I, to me, I, I don't know. I just sit there and I think to myself, this is, uh, this is a, you know, it's a, it's the wild west out there when you, when it comes to these, uh, these dating apps, nobody is who they say they are. What's up, Megan? Hi.

00:06:40 - 00:06:42 | Speaker 2:

Hey, how it's going in?

00:06:42 - 00:06:53 | Speaker 4:

We just, we just, try that one more time. Hold on a second. Say that again. What? I said, Hey, how's it going? Oh, there you go. That was good. I got you. What's up?

00:06:54 - 00:07:09 | Speaker 2:

Not much. I was, uh, 18 when I met my boyfriend. Right. And I looked a lot younger and my boyfriend's mom actually asked for my ID to double check because I was old enough. Yeah. She didn't want her boy,

00:07:09 - 00:07:26 | Speaker 4:

her boy doing something. And then all of a sudden coming out later that you were underage. Exactly. Is it weird to ask somebody for the, for their ID or to, to get like permission or something like that like like verbal permission a buddy of mine was telling me that made me feel

00:07:26 - 00:07:32 | Speaker 2:

really weird it didn't make me feel weird but now that i'm older and i have kids i totally understand

00:07:32 - 00:07:41 | Speaker 4:

a buddy of mine was telling me that he feels weird going on dates right now and then when they do like mess around he feels like he wants to get verbal consent because he doesn't want anybody

00:07:41 - 00:07:48 | Speaker 2:

to come back video consent on your phone i know that's wild isn't there an app that does that i'm

00:07:48 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 4:

I'm sure there is or something like that.

00:07:49 - 00:07:52 | Speaker 3:

Bro, I'm not trying to sleep with somebody and then pull out an app.

00:07:52 - 00:07:56 | Speaker 4:

Well, you got to pull out the app first before you do that.

00:07:56 - 00:07:58 | Speaker 3:

That's, we going too far, man.

00:07:58 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 4:

Look at this texter here. I'm a mom of a 15-year-old that I caught on a dating app.

00:08:05 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 3:

I wonder if it was a girl or a boy, daughter or son.

00:08:08 - 00:08:09 | Speaker 4:

Let's see what try to call that person.

00:08:09 - 00:08:15 | Speaker 3:

Honestly, I feel like, I don't know how to sound, but I feel like this would be more of a problem for young women than young men.

00:08:16 - 00:08:17 | Speaker 2:

Why do you say that?

00:08:17 - 00:08:35 | Speaker 3:

just older when i think about it i just like looking looking for that or no i just like if i close my eyes and you ask me the question of you know what what does this child look like or whatever the case is with somebody that would actually be younger than 18 and going on an app

00:08:35 - 00:08:53 | Speaker 4:

to date i just think girls i but i would be concerned with having sons like you know luke was a good looking you know it was a good looking guy he is a good looking guy my son luke is and And he would have older women all the time that would flirt with him and stuff. Like, I would not want him all of a sudden at 17 years old or 16.

00:08:53 - 00:08:55 | Speaker 2:

Attempting to meet strangers on his app.

00:08:56 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 4:

Well, now they meet on video games and stuff, too.

00:08:58 - 00:09:04 | Speaker 3:

You mean those pop-ups aren't true? I am Danielle in 58 in Bloomfield. Right. Party to party tonight.

00:09:04 - 00:09:17 | Speaker 4:

Do you ever see those ones? And you look and you go, hey, I think I know her from somewhere. She was walking her dog by the park by my house. What's up, Devin? How you doing? Good. Doing all right. What happened to you, Devin?

00:09:18 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 1:

So I was 17 and went on a dating app and told everyone I was 21, and I lost my virginity to a 23-year-old. Wow.

00:09:29 - 00:09:31 | Speaker 4:

And she thought you were in your mid-20s.

00:09:32 - 00:09:33 | Speaker 1:

Yeah.

00:09:34 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 4:

Man, that's not good. I mean, I guess at 17, she couldn't have legally gotten in trouble, right? Because their age of consent is 17, maybe? I don't know. What app was this? Tinder. Man. You can do that. Where did you guys end up going on dates when you were that age? Because I would think that that would be weird to go to a bar and order a Coke.

00:10:00 - 00:10:09 | Speaker 3:

Went to Olive Garden. Did you? When you guys would sit there, did she ever think that, you know, why is this guy not ordering a glass of wine or anything?

00:10:11 - 00:10:18 | Speaker 1:

She asked me, and I told her I was waiting to get back to the house because I didn't want to drive while intoxicated.

00:10:19 - 00:10:21 | Speaker 5:

And where did y'all go? Like, where did y'all actually have sex at?

00:10:23 - 00:10:23 | Speaker 1:

Her apartment.

00:10:24 - 00:10:28 | Speaker 5:

So you said, I'm going to wait to go home to drink. Okay.

00:10:28 - 00:10:57 | Speaker 3:

But you took her back to her apartment. You couldn't bring her to your house because you had race car posters on your wall. Goldfish to feed. Like, could you imagine, hey, mom, I want you to meet my new friend. Don't mind her. You know, she looks like she's 30. I mean, it worked. It worked. Could you imagine if you're that girl and you find out that you just had sex with a 17-year-old? Chuck, what's up?

00:10:58 - 00:10:59 | Speaker 2:

What's up, man?

00:10:59 - 00:11:00 | Speaker 3:

Nothing much. What's going on?

00:11:01 - 00:11:22 | Speaker 2:

Now you want to make a comment about dating now. Yeah. At one point in time, I met a chick on Facebook dating. She had her age posted as 23. She was 18. Met up with the chick, had consensual sex with her, and then later on, I got arrested for forcing her to ask Angie's face, which was false.

00:11:22 - 00:11:26 | Speaker 3:

Wait, so you got arrested. Hold on. But she was 18 years old. Why did you get arrested?

00:11:27 - 00:11:33 | Speaker 2:

I mean, her friend called and said that she was kidnapped and forced in my car.

00:11:33 - 00:11:35 | Speaker 5:

Oh, there's more to this story.

00:11:35 - 00:11:44 | Speaker 6:

But was there proof on the Facebook dating? Like, there had to be some sort of, like, messages back and forth, right? Proving that it was consensual for her to meet up with you?

00:11:44 - 00:11:57 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, I had proved. That's why I didn't get charged for... Oh, okay. Wow. But I still got screwed over and went to jail for 90 days for something. and I did not do it at all.

00:11:57 - 00:12:00 | Speaker 5:

When did you find out that she was 18 and had lied about her age?

00:12:01 - 00:12:27 | Speaker 2:

After I got out of jail and looked this person up and found out they was 18 instead of 23. They was actually from Detroit, Michigan as well. But met this girl. We've been talking for a couple of days. Met up with her. We agreed to have sex. Sex was consensual. And then she wanted to try any sex. Come to find out, I got arrested because they said I forced her to have 86, which was false.

00:12:27 - 00:12:43 | Speaker 3:

Wow. Man, I got to tell you that that's one of those things where it's a he said, she said, and you now have to, instead of innocent until proven guilty, you're guilty until proven innocent on that. Keith, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning. How are you?

00:12:44 - 00:13:00 | Speaker 4:

Just fine. Just fine. Yeah. So I was 17, and it was my mom's, one of my mom's best friends. I don't know how it happened, but it happened, and it made things very uncomfortable. I never told her. Wait, wait, hold on.

00:13:00 - 00:13:01 | Speaker 6:

Are we on a dating app?

00:13:01 - 00:13:23 | Speaker 3:

We're talking about dating apps and being underage on a dating app. You're just talking about the fact that you were 17 years old having sex with your mom's friend? Same thing. No, it's not the same. It's not the same thing. No, we're talking about people who lie about their age and they go on a dating app younger. You're talking about the fact that you had, you know, Mrs. Robinson hanging down the street from you.

00:13:24 - 00:13:27 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was terrible. It was terrible.

00:13:28 - 00:13:34 | Speaker 3:

By the way, you're only calling Keith because you want to brag about the fact that you bagged your mom's friend.

00:13:34 - 00:13:35 | Speaker 1:

That's right. You know it.

00:13:37 - 00:13:40 | Speaker 3:

Do you ever see her now? Like as a grown man?

00:13:40 - 00:13:46 | Speaker 5:

It's time for her to look me in the eye because I beat it up. People are crazy. Y'all just did it the one time?

00:13:47 - 00:13:55 | Speaker 4:

No, no. It was an ongoing thing? I sweated that thing out, yeah. People are crazy right now.

00:13:55 - 00:13:58 | Speaker 3:

Wait, how old was she? You're 17 years old. How old was she?

00:13:59 - 00:14:01 | Speaker 4:

She was in her 30s. Oh, my God.

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

Shannon.

00:14:03 - 00:14:05 | Speaker 4:

She called me to energize him.

00:14:05 - 00:14:07 | Speaker 3:

She called me, Shannon.

00:14:07 - 00:14:09 | Speaker 6:

What? I don't ask anything, please.

00:14:10 - 00:14:16 | Speaker 3:

No, think of you and all your girlfriends, and this is a 17-year-old guy. Do you see 17-year-old guys and find them attractive?

00:14:17 - 00:14:18 | Unknown:

No.

00:14:18 - 00:14:18 | Speaker 3:

No.

00:14:18 - 00:14:34 | Speaker 5:

I'm saying, think about Smith growing up and hitting one of your friends. I would be. How would you say that? Which friend? I would be. Which friend? If he had the big one. He's got him. He's got him. No, he's not.

00:14:35 - 00:14:39 | Speaker 4:

He's a good boy, and he's not going to do that. If they're hot, they open that door, he's in there.

00:14:39 - 00:14:55 | Speaker 3:

Let me tell you, Keith, we're keeping him locked up until he's 25, and then he's coming out after that. Yeah, yeah. We're not allowing it. All right, take care of yourself, Keith. Yeah. Oh, God. Can I end the show now, please, after that one?

00:14:56 - 00:14:58 | Speaker 5:

I feel like he just called the radio stations and told us to him.

00:15:00 - 00:15:02 | Speaker 7:

Bria, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning.

00:15:02 - 00:15:11 | Speaker 5:

Hi, it's Brianna. I used to go on group dates when Tinder had them in Ann Arbor and find frat parties to go to.

00:15:11 - 00:15:12 | Speaker 7:

And how old were you?

00:15:13 - 00:15:15 | Speaker 5:

We were like 16 or 17.

00:15:15 - 00:15:21 | Speaker 7:

Oh, my God. Wait, and these college frat boys had no idea that you were underage?

00:15:21 - 00:15:24 | Speaker 5:

They did not care. I'm calling my son.

00:15:25 - 00:15:31 | Speaker 7:

I am calling my son right now, and I'm telling him that he is not allowed to go back to school. That is nuts. Did it ever go?

00:15:32 - 00:15:40 | Speaker 5:

Go ahead. They got rid of group dating, so it was no longer fun. Once you had to, like, find your own guy, it wasn't fun anymore.

00:15:40 - 00:15:45 | Speaker 7:

Yeah. Did you guys fool around? Did you fool around with any guys when you were 16?

00:15:46 - 00:15:51 | Speaker 5:

No, we were looking for alcohol. That was it. And have our own party.

00:15:51 - 00:15:55 | Speaker 7:

You were a good girl. All right, well, be careful. And watch out for a guy named Keith. That's all.
