All right, is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Did you ever get invited to something but you don't
know if other people got invited to the same thing,
and so you feel like you can't even talk about
being invited to something.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Has that ever happened to you? Yes, So listen.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
There are times I know where I'm not invited to things,
but I'm not the type of person that gets really
kind of butt hurt over it. Sometimes I actually look
at it as a win when I'm not invited, because,
to be quite honest with you, I don't want to
go to everything right, Like, I like to be able
to have my free time, especially with waking up at
such an early hour. But I'm so excited that I
(00:34):
got invited to this thing on Friday. So Friday, I
got invited with a group of guys. It's a big
group of guys because I'm in this text thread to
go see comedian Shane Gillis, and there is a group
of guys.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And I'm telling you it's like here.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
If I show you the Shane Gillis group, you'll see
the how many are in here. It's amazing how many
people are going every look at a group.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Look how many are Yeah? I mean, I don't know
how many, if you can.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Those are the group chats by the way that I
hate being in this is like there are so many people.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, here's my problem with this. I have probably on here.
I probably have thirty percent of the guy's numbers saved
in my phone, and the seventy percent that I don't
have saved in my phone, I have no idea whose
numbers these are. So these text messages are coming through
to me of people talking about Shane Gillis on Friday
(01:26):
and we're going to go eat beforehand, and they're doing
all this stuff like hey, we're all going to you know,
pick you up. We're gonna get picked up by a
party boss. Like it's crazy, Like this is actually a
big deal. It was put together by a couple of
guys that invited me. I was really excited that they
invited me because I love Shane Gillis, but honestly, more
so than Shane Gillis, I love these guys that are
that invited me. I don't know who to talk to
(01:47):
and who not to talk to that are friends of mine.
And I feel like when I when I go on Friday,
I'm going to go oh so you were invited cause
I you know what I mean, like or some people
like that.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Not everybody in that group chat is going.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So no, that's not chat. Here's the see. Here are
the people I know that are going to be there, right? No,
I can see there right so you can see names.
But there's a bunch of them ones that I don't
have a clue who they are because I don't have
their numbers saved in my phone, So I don't know
who to talk to that I don't have saved in
my phone and say hey, I'll see you Friday. So yesterday,
(02:22):
this guy Bob, who's a really good guy. He actually
is a sales guy at at ninety seven to one,
he a sales manager. He's He text me and goes,
hey are you going Friday to Shane Gillis, And I
wanted to text him back when he texted me and
say no, should I be, just because I want to know.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
If he's if he's asked, but also because he's going
or is he asking? Because he's not going? But you
heard that a bunch of guys are going.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
That's the good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I don't know who is and who is it?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, I Luckily he is going. I said, yes, I'm going,
So he is going. Yeah, Okay, I know this makes
no sense to you. You're probably listening, but has this
ever So I wanted to ask listeners a question. I
wanted to ask you a question too, Shannon, because I
know you get invited to a lot of stuff, but
you may also not get invited to some stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And have you ever not been invited to something that
everybody else was invited to? And what did you do?
Did you get really hurt by it or did you
say anything? And if you have been invited and you
know that there are friends of yours that weren't invited,
did you have to hide it?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Can I not post pictures that I've change? Say?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That is the worst is when you know that there
are going to be people who have hurt feelings that
they were not part of the group going to a
concert or out to dinner or on a trip or whatever.
And you're like, well now I feel kind of weird
posting photos and also with the group chats and I
don't know. This is why I asked you. I notice
in some of these situations for me, then we will
(03:49):
leave the group chat and all of the people who
are going to something form another group chat.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, and then I.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Get nervous that I'm going to post in the wrong
group chat.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes, and people.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's like, here's my problem, this is this is my
problem with this. This kind of sounds really bad to
say this, But I'm also wondering if some of the
people that I don't have their number saves are people
that I like. So what if I go and I
go and there's a person there that I don't like,
you know what I mean, and I'm there going, oh,
(04:21):
so who invited that guy?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Like you say there and go, which is very rare
because I pretty much like everybody except for a couple.
But there's you know what I mean, like you kind
of go through that whole thing where you don't you
have no idea how to react to the deal. I
wish somebody would say, here's the role call of everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Just asking from Bob, who started that group chat? Who
are these numbers?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You know, Bob's the new He's a newly invite. So
Bob's a newly invite. It would be honestly, so Amar
and John Tallenger were the ones that initially said something
to me, so I should ask those guys.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But what Amanda? Are you there? Amanda?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Everyone?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Are you hey?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
We're doing good. We're talking about this thing. I'm going
to see Shane Gillis on Friday. I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Me too. I texted into Lydia saying that well to
the show, saying that I was going too. I got tickets.
I got tickets to surprise my boyfriend well, because it's
his favorite comedian. We broke up three weeks ago, so
I'm taking my best friend instead.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I love it. I love it, so is the best
girl girlfriend. Yes, you better, you better come up and
say hi if you see me there.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I want to. I want to say, how do you?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Guys? I'd love to see you and meet you for once.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That would be so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, that would be fun, although it'd be kind of
weird because I don't want these guys thinking I invited
two girls to come with me and as Shane Gillis,
that would be weird because it's a bunch of guys
leaving wives at home.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So they'll never know. They'll never know. I'll never know.
That's all I need. That's all I need. I'll be
on the t app twice.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Hear it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're good, all.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Right, Well, hey, we're excited for Shane Gillis on Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
We're good with this. I'm all excited.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I'll be there. You all have a great day.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We'll see you.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's funny the group texts of threads of this. I
wonder if do we kill it on Friday after Friday? Like,
how does that work? What's the etiquette of that too?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
What do you mean you just let that group text
fade out?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I know, but I think the problem though, is everybody
in the group text, you know, you know from the
Shane Gillis thing. Yeah, like you started in a new
group text and it's post Shane Gillis

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
