Hey, everybody. I'm Tariqa Foster-Brasby. What's up, y'all? I'm your girl, Cheryl Swoops. When you tune in to a new episode of our podcast, Levels to This, you're definitely going to get some spicy WNBA analysis. But we're more than just hoops. And the real conversation is what we actually bring.

It's been really, really cool seeing kind of these women just really step into their power off the court and understand that they are basketball, right? And they're not asking for permission.

I'm Mange Shatikular, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

All right, Mojo on the morning show. So I was so excited about this. I went and bought a bunch of gift cards for our sales department and all the people that help us throughout the year. Then I also got my secret Santa, a bunch of gift cards, too, putting together their gift. And I did it all at Target. I'm sorry, at Kroger. And I did it because they do the four times the fuel points. Yeah. Okay? So I get very excited over that. The best deal. Because my goal is, my ultimate goal is, I want them to pay me for filling up my gas tank. I want the fuel points to be so much that I save that much money. I go to use my fuel points yesterday, and some bastard stole my points. And I want to talk about this right now because I have no idea who it is. And I want to just put it out there that if you're the person that went and you punched in my number to steal my fuel points, how dare you? I couldn't believe it. I thought that there was an error on their part. And then I did some investigating because I don't know if you know this. I am the in-store voice of Kroger. You hear me? Yes. Hi, it's Mojo from Mojo in the Morning. get your christmas holiday shopping done all in one place you did that and he went to kroger the

other day and he called me and he goes shannon something very weird's going on i'm hearing mojo's voice up above like he's god i'll say i'll be like getting something out of the freezer and

all of a sudden here are you in the frozen food aisle i'm like yeah what do you follow me and

then i oh yeah he's not here i pay you can pay me for shout outs too by the way if you like me but but let me uh let me go back to this fuel points thing this drives me crazy and i want to know who are these people that are stealing other people's fuel points or stealing their points. Rachel Hurst is going to help me with this. We're going to do some investigating. We're going to find out which Kroger gas station somebody used my fuel points

at. Oh, you went to one of our friends, one of the executives at Kroger to solve

the mystery. But is that going to help you?

Yes, because then I'll figure out where the person lives because then if I know that they live, you know, I don't know, if they live in your guys' towns, I'll say, Spike lives there Shannon lives there Meg, if it's in Toledo You found the culprit As soon as you brought this up

I was like genius idea I can't wait to do this to him

I was just saying you run the risk now Bringing up this idea You're actually telling everyone that knows you You have an account And they know yourself

I'm changing it I'm putting it on a different number I'm going to get a burner phone Just for my fuel points Here's the funny thing is i haven't used my fuel points in so long and i and chelsea and i have each have our own phone numbers attached to it and i've been doing a lot more of the shopping so i said to chelsea i go you must have used my number and she goes no why would i do that i've got you know my own number and then i said to her i go do you think the boys are doing this and chelsea goes do you really think that our boys are smart enough to know how to do this they just put it on our credit card and we're the ones that have to pay for the thing so uh what's going on mojo in the morning who's We'll see you next time.

This is Nina.

Hi, Nina. You didn't steal my fuel points, did you?

No, I didn't, but you can check in your app how to figure out where and when your points were used.

Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, I'll go into the Kroger app and I'll figure out where it is. What would you do if you found out that somebody that you knew and loved was a thief like this?

I don't know. I probably, I don't know what I would do. I wouldn't be very happy. However, someone has my number and doesn't use my points, but uses it for the discount, so I get their points.

Oh, my gosh.

Ooh, win-win.

That's like reverse. That's like the points fairy that's out there.

Yeah, it's great. I don't care who you are, but keep doing it.

Do they buy a lot of stuff? Are they big shoppers?

No, it's like $20, $30 here and there.

That's not bad. Hey, it's something. What's up, Casey?

Good morning, guys. Good morning. So my brother, he just turned 16, and he just got his own truck. And he's been driving around to the Kroger's near our house, and he puts in every family member's phone number. He'll put in my grandparents, my aunt. And then they're calling us because they have the Kroger app, and they can know what gas station is using their points. They're calling us like, hey, who the hell is using our points?

Oh, my God.

That's great. It's my little brother. Yeah, smart.

I can't believe he would steal from his own grandparents.

I know. horrible right thank you guys that little mother effort they probably don't see it as stealing they

say well it's not like i'm taking it from you it's just a discount what's up morgan

hi so i had the same thing happen to me with the fuel point but if anyone had your number before you or after you they can still set up another kroger account under the same number and that's how people steal points like not on purpose oh so you're thinking that somebody did

accidentally my i've had my number for almost 25 years yeah oh so okay so you had a recent change

of a number see mine's my number for a long time we use like our old home phone like so when i was a kid when like at our old landline we used that number yep and then that's what happened also i i love you so much my heart is beating so fast i love you too thank you i appreciate you morgan

What's your phone number? I'm going to use your fuel points. See how much you love us after that. She goes there and realizes she doesn't have any more. Court, whose number, whose fuel points are you stealing?

My parents. That's what we're supposed to do as kids, though. Well, I'm 45. No, no, no, no. It's okay.

You know what? You were the same little kid that used to go into your mom's purse and steal things out of there, didn't you?

I mean, we're still family, right? Right. Now, have they busted you? Are they aware that you do this? No. I don't know. No, never. And I use them often.

So they shop more than I do at Kroger, and I just use their points. Kroger, I call this a kid tax, and they just got to pay up. I agree. I can suffer them. It's, you know, give and take relationships. And one day we have to take care of them and wipe their little booties. So this is our payment now.

This sounds like a take-take relationship. This doesn't sound like a give and take. Karen, you're the only person that's allowed to do what you're doing because of who you're stealing them from. Whose points are you stealing? Karen?

Oh, hi. Sorry. So my ex-boyfriend from high school, I still use his family's steal points every time I'm in Ohio.

I love it. Steal his points, that ex-SOB.

Wes does that to his ex-wife. He takes all her points.

He punches in her phone number. Your boyfriend steals from his ex-wife?

Yeah, and she gets so mad, and he thinks it's so funny.

Oh, my gosh.

I think that that's a popular way of getting a little discount on your cast.

If I were divorced, I would call my divorce attorney, and I would have things completely changed in our decree.
