It's Mojo in the Morning Show. There's something crazy going on right now in Shannon's household, actually probably in a lot of high school seniors' households or high school kids in general, because I think it's funny because I think that when Luke was also a junior, he participated in this, probably he wasn't supposed to. But there's a thing called Water Wars. Do we have any people doing Water Wars right now? It's huge in the metro Detroit area where the high school kids, the class of now um are out and they're trying to win a squirt gun battle with each other but this

is not this is not a squirt gun battle this is not go everybody go in the backyard and grab a nerf gun and you know soak each other this is teams that carefully plot the whereabouts of their opponents on i don't even know how they're doing it if it's life 360 yeah if it's snapchat or what they're doing, how they're doing this. But my stepson, Kieran, this is all that he wants to talk about in our house right now. And I'm not joking when I say there are filled water guns at every turn in my house, including one that is on like a tripod. It is this huge, you have to like kneel down to work. I mean, they are absolutely crazy about water wars and getting your opponent out. I mean, there's a lot of money that is potentially at stake here because you have to buy in. Yeah. I don't know if you're supposed to.

Yeah.

So scratch that if you're not allowed to do that. I'm just making that up.

Luke's was that it was the pride of being the champion of school. But I think they did get at Notre Dame Prep. They did it for money. Yeah.

Like yesterday I was home and he didn't have school. And so I'm making lunch and he's I can hear him on FaceTime with one or two of his buddies. and they're trying to like plot out and stalk people at coming out of a doctor's appointment and at their prom tuxedo fitting and this guy you're not allowed you're not allowed to shoot them at practice but one of their opponents they were going to try to get walking out to his car after practice i mean it is so legendary it is strategic so i remember uh and i don't know if

our listeners remember me having a conversation when my kids because it all went all the way back to joe doing this and do you remember me telling the story about pulling out of my driveway and having the like the poop scared out of me when i pulled out of my driveway and a bunch of kids jumped out of the bushes in front of my house it's nice and they said they literally were like sorry we apologize we're here for luke i'm like you think luke's up this early in the morning are you crazy and they were offering me to pay me money to let them get in my house to give up my

kids absolute insanity yeah well i even said to karen almost megan i was just close i said to him when this first started a couple of days ago oh this is this is you kind of have an advantage because he goes to school on the east side but when he's with wes and i he's on the west side yeah it's about 40 minutes away and he was like oh nobody's coming they don't care yeah they will be out they will be out they know where they will be now i go out to the car in the morning and i'm Every time I go out to my car, like you said, I'm scared that someone's going to be standing there.

It's like a wild thing to figure out how they know where you're going to be. It makes me wonder if they are all on.

you know the apps uh snap maps oh is it snap maps but wouldn't you be smart though if to turn off

your gps so they're talking about i would i was kind of half listening when he was explaining this to me but there's something you there was an app you needed to turn off and an app you needed to turn on that everybody who was playing i can't remember what it was but um that has to make it

fun though i feel like that's part of the game people should know where you are so you're always

on alert yeah that makes it eight four four mojo live eight four four six six five six five four eight uh do we have any uh water warsers uh that are doing this thing right well i had to ask him

because we did not do this at grosail high school and i would never have wanted to participate because my anxiety levels are out of this world and i wouldn't have i wouldn't have been able to You made bows and things like that for kids. No, you made bows.

You were like, yeah, you were like, you did.

I was not about to do something that I was going to have to watch my every move for six days. You knitted blankets and things. You were crafty, weren't you?

I was kind of crafty.

It was a scrapbook time.

Yeah, she did like the Taylor Swift bracelets. It was a scrapbooking, yeah. I do have to be honest with this water war thing. It has not gone by without tragedy. I mean, the cop, well, the cops tell you, you can't have a gun that looks like a gun. Make sure that the gun looks like a water gun. Right. Cause you don't, you know, if you pull that stuff out and the cop sees you there, you know, who knows if you point that you're going to get your, you know, yourself shot.

We actually almost got into an accident the other night because we were driving and there was a group of kids that were outside of a Starbucks. And I don't think they realized that the light had turned and they ran across the street with their guns to get somebody else. And Wes almost hit him and he was paying attention. It's gotten to the point where the police in our town have put rules on where they can and can't play as well.

Morning, Mojo in the morning. How are you?

Good. How about you? Good. Who's this? I had water wars in my restaurant last night. Did you? They've got a couple old people. Really?

Oh, no. First off, what's your name and where are you from?

Trisha. I am from Rochester Hill.

So they came into your restaurant last night? The kids came in? Because what? one of the kids from school was inside there eating with his family no actually one kid was

sitting at a table right next to several elderly couples yeah and a kid that was working next door at a store ran out of his job while on the clock came into my restaurant got up not only the other child but a bunch of elderly people

Oh, those poor old people. Yeah, you got some, what do they call that? They call that collateral damage right there. Elderly collateral damage. That's horrible. That's sad to see. By the way, they do this in all three of our listening areas because we've got text messages here from Grand Rapids, text message from Sylvania. Sylvania PD has banned it because, remember, we're old. We're old. We don't do, we no longer young.

I don't know if you know this. But I'm actually the youngest one in this room.

You're also mid-30s, aren't you, by now, or no?

If I'm mid-30s, then we're all geriatric at this point. How old are you? Come on. 32?

How old are you? 32? What are you, 30? 31?

I'm going to let you keep digging this hole.

What's going on? Damien, let's talk the class of the 2000s now. What's going on?

What's going on, Mojo? This first time caller, man. Yeah!

What's up, buddy?

No, I stay in Monroe, and, you know, we got the little Facebook pages and all that. They made a post on Facebook to not be calling the cops. I guess the businesses all be calling cops and everything because they be getting scared. Yeah. Seeing all these teenagers running around, creeping around the businesses.

Well, that's the thing. Nowadays, it seems crazy that they're able to do this stuff when you see all these shootings at schools and stuff like that. But, yeah, they—

Right. Got all these kids running around with, like, gun figures and whatnot. It's dangerous for the kids, too, for real.

I know. I think what they've got to have is they've got to be doing this with a hose, like a good old-fashioned hose when we were kids. Remember that? You have to walk. Remember when you were a kid, you'd run through the sprinkler? That was the fun thing. That was the fun thing. Rachel, what's going on? Hi.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning. What's going on?

So I went to Harrison High School in Farmington Hills, if you know who you know. Yeah, absolutely.

Best football program around.

Yeah, big football school. And we, I remember driving to school, there would be people during, I didn't play myself because I was too scared, but there'd be people standing along the street on the main road, these huge football guys holding their giant water guns like they were in the army, like soldiers. Oh my God. Just standing there.

By the rock. So scary. That big rock off of Twitter.

12-mile. I remember that. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I didn't play because my house was surrounded by woods, and I just knew that someone was going to pop out of the woods. Oh, I could have never. No way.

I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Pam, what's up? It's Mojo in the Morning. We're talking about how Shannon's got to deal with her stepson playing Water Wars. What's up?

Well, I am the same build and same hair color as my boss's daughter, and they were playing Water Wars in Lake Orion. So I was a decoy for them, and they went around the back door while I went out the front door, and they sneak-attacked the kids that were attacking. That is so great.

I'd be pissed. By the way, if a kid shot me with a water gun, I'd beat the snot out of that kid, you know?

I got a free PTO. Okay, so worth it. Yeah.

Boss, I'm sorry. I'm not your daughter. You're not going to do this. It's got to be flattering to be mistaken for a high school child. That actually would be flattering. That is true. Shannon, be careful in the morning when you're going out there. I'm telling you, this is why. That's what I'm saying. This is why Wes needs to move the gym equipment out of the garage. Put your car in there, for gosh sake, right?

Yes. Pull in and pull out. They've taken over cities before. But this July, they're bringing the X Games League Championship home to New Orleans. July 24th through 26th at the Superdome.
