All right, it's Mojo in the morning show. You can't do this at the gym. Megan, what did they do?

00:01:22 - 00:02:33 | Speaker 3:

Well, it was me, and I have a question as to why some things are totally acceptable to do at the gym, and other things are not, because I got a lot of dirty looks, and I don't think that it was very justified. Actually, quite frankly, I think I am starting a new revolution when it comes to gym etiquette, and I am creating a new pathway. Call me a trailblazer if you must, and I demand. um i don't understand why some people can sit on a treadmill and sit on tiktok the whole time or watch television or take a book and read it which i think are all acceptable things to do on a treadmill at the gym but i got dirty looks when i took my switch oh really yeah who cares like people were like you don't play video games at the gym was it dirty looks or was it people going i've never seen because i've never seen that before it was dirty looks and i was like Of course it was. I'm in the middle of Hogwarts Legacy. I put that down for like four months and I picked it back up again and now I'm fully addicted. It is consuming my life in a way that is unhealthy. But I thought, is it better to sit on the couch and play this game or just go to the gym and walk on the treadmill like I normally would and play the game? Because I don't run. I walk on the treadmill. So why not?

00:02:33 - 00:02:52 | Speaker 7:

Do you have headphones in or are you letting the sound play? No, I play it silently. Yeah. Okay. people get very upset when people and it's understandable when they talk on speakerphone and not with headsets because they're like why am I listening to your conversation but if you're silent with your switch why would somebody care if it's a phone or a switch

00:02:52 - 00:03:11 | Speaker 3:

I don't know and I've seen people and it would be one thing to be like oh you're not focusing on your workout but you can say the same thing about people on tiktok or watching television I don't want to watch the news I don't want to watch TBS reruns and I don't want to watch old sports games like that's not fun to me So what's the big deal if I take a swim? Who cares? I agree.

00:03:12 - 00:03:23 | Speaker 5:

I think it has something to do with the fact that you are a trailblazer. I think people are looking like, why didn't I think of that? How cool does that work out? You know what I mean? That's kind of cool.

00:03:23 - 00:03:31 | Speaker 7:

That is cool. I've never heard of that before. That's awesome. Megan, was this at where we think it was? Was it at Planet Fitness?

00:03:31 - 00:03:37 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, and to be fair, none of the employees did not care. They're awesome there. It's the judgment-free zone. That's right.

00:03:37 - 00:03:38 | Speaker 5:

They're breaking the rules.

00:03:39 - 00:03:43 | Speaker 7:

Call Brian Reef up right now and have that person's membership taken away.

00:03:44 - 00:03:58 | Speaker 4:

Although I will tell you something. I am starting to judge people at My Planet Fitness. How dare you? Because if you sit on the machines and just are on your phone and you're not doing a dang thing and actually using the machine, I get so mad.

00:03:58 - 00:04:03 | Speaker 3:

Now hear me out. That's why you need a switch. Because I can remove one of the side panels and deck it at you.

00:04:04 - 00:04:14 | Speaker 4:

And I still have the other panel. I understand you need to take a break. like a moment or two in between sets. But if you're there for like 10 minutes and I'm watching you and you are just on your phone. Drives me nuts. Drives me crazy.

00:04:15 - 00:04:41 | Speaker 7:

I do want to say this, that I think that we've now tapped out on the people that thought that they were going to work out for the year. Like I've started, it was near impossible for a while there. Like it got to a point and I thought it was great for obviously the Planet Fitness business. We love them. We want them to be highly successful. But anybody that has been to any gyms, but a Planet Fitness knows that the two-week-and-done people are probably almost done, right?

00:04:41 - 00:04:46 | Speaker 3:

I find that it doesn't really die down until March, and then people will die down. That's a long time.

00:04:47 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 7:

But those people, here's the deal, you guys. It's okay for you guys to have that membership. It's only $15 a month. Just don't go as often as you do. And I don't worry about the equipment. I worry about my parking spot.

00:05:00 - 00:05:07 | Speaker 1:

to me it's about you know i go i go 2 30 in the after what time you go megan because you work all

00:05:07 - 00:05:49 | Speaker 5:

day and stuff uh i usually just try to get home and then go so it really depends like some days i get out of here kind of early and some days i i am stuck here all day um so it depends i'll hit like the after work normal gym crowd and that always drives me nuts i try to get there before that i know sometimes if i get out of work late here and i know that i'm going to hit that after work gym crew I go no gym today it's fine like I'll skip today but here's what's gross I don't have to worry about parking spaces because I I run to the gym do you really I do even when it's this cold out I do oh it's good I mean good for you but that's it takes me just as long to get there as it does to go get walk to my car and get my car out of the garage and get to the parking A lot.

00:05:49 - 00:05:58 | Speaker 1:

Yeah. Hold on. Markeia, what's happening? It's Mojo in the morning. Markeia, hello.

00:05:59 - 00:06:04 | Speaker 4:

Hey, y'all. This is Markeia. Long time, second time. Hello.

00:06:04 - 00:06:06 | Speaker 1:

I like your vibe. Markeia on the phone.

00:06:07 - 00:06:48 | Speaker 4:

What's going on? Markeia on the phone. So I'm calling because, Megan, you're awesome for that. I think that is so amazing. I've never seen anyone play the switch. Come above. Dot, dot, dot. no no no no you're good you're all good i've seen this guy though reading a book and i'm like how are you keeping up with the words while you're walking on the treadmill so that threw me off a little bit but you know to teach his own so no that's cool because i'll watch like netflix and hulu if i'm not in the mood to go to the gym and watching my show will get me going yeah i just got a full workout in and binge watch my show at the same time yeah that's great you know what

00:06:48 - 00:06:58 | Speaker 5:

kills me is turning on something new on netflix and then having it be horrifically inappropriate and knowing that the people around me have seen me looking at something that i should not be

00:06:58 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 4:

looking at while in public oh god that's happened before too that yeah dude i was watching a movie

00:07:04 - 00:07:15 | Speaker 5:

one time and i was like i swear to god this isn't porn like i i looked around and said oh my somebody is going to think i'm the creeper that's watching porn in public i get that on uh on planes all the

00:07:15 - 00:07:31 | Speaker 1:

time too you want to watch a movie and the movie has something dirty in it and you're like oh god they're thinking i'm watching a porn and you know markeia do you ever find people like peering over your shoulder and looking at your stuff that you're watching like you ever get that dude i

00:07:31 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 4:

swear i feel like people do that and i just tell myself it's in it's in my head because i'm looking over their shoulder.

00:07:39 - 00:07:58 | Speaker 1:

Right. But it's funny. If I saw somebody with a switch, I probably wouldn't give Megan a dirty look. I'd be like, oh, what's that? Oh, look at that. Like I would be, like you said, I think I'm more intrigued by it. People are texting in, by the way, saying, Megan, that's genius. Zach, what's up? Zach wants to say something to you, Megan. What's going on, buddy?

00:07:59 - 00:08:22 | Speaker 2:

Hey, good morning, everybody. What up, Zach? Megan, two things for you, Megan. And first off, Hogwarts Legacy, I picked that up. I binge played it, beat that story. So I get you being addicted. All right? Second, you go, girl. Get that cardio on it. You don't care if you're playing the switch or not. You're getting that cardio and most people don't.

00:08:22 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 6:

I got to be honest with you. The entire time you were talking, my butthole was pucker because I was waiting for the backhanded slap to come. I appreciate you. You go, girl.

00:08:32 - 00:08:33 | Speaker 2:

Get it.

00:08:33 - 00:08:33 | Speaker 6:

00:09:23 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 5:

potter games well they're about to drop the new switch so all of the games on switch just dropped in prices so like everything's more affordable now than it was a couple of weeks ago this is an

00:09:34 - 00:09:39 | Speaker 1:

idea should we do a gaming night at planet fitness like could you imagine if we had people like
