Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the Morning Show. The phone number is 844-MOJO-LIVE.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
844-665-6548.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Any word on Brian? Is Brian still out of the world?
You might have to penalize him.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
No, I talked to him. He was like, I was
too busy listening to Kevin's thong story.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So he didn't answer the phone. All right, good. So
he's still in.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
So we have three people that have been listening since 745,
and they're going to have a chance to win $ 1, 000
to go see the big game on Sunday, courtesy of
Rinaldi Sausage. And we'll do that in a little bit.
I think we can get one more topic in here though.
So I had, have not been feeling great lately. And
when I mean that, that I'm not been feeling great lately,
(00:39):
I'm not like dying or anything, but I.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Am kind of a little bit where I get, I
get this.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And I start coughing thing and I get a little
bit of like sniffles and you know, kind of like that.
And I don't mind the sniffles and I don't even
mind if I, like have a headache or a sore throat.
I don't mind it that much. What I do mind
is when I start becoming audible. And so I have
(01:09):
to ask you a question. Have you ever been out
in public and suddenly you get into one of those
coughing attacks and it doesn't stop? We were out at
dinner and I could feel it coming on and I
tried to drink water to have it stop and it won't.
And at one point the people in the tables around
us were like, dude, stop this. Like you're literally coughing
(01:31):
all over the place.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
We all have PTSD from COVID.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Somebody coughing nearby.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And so I'm sitting there with Chels and some friends
and I'm like, and I'm trying to like, I'm trying
to like put it in.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Suppress it. You know, keep it from good for you though.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well, it's, it's also not good for you to have
death stares from people that are around you. So I,
I'm like figuring out what I should do. I'm having
a coughing attack. I'm having a sneezing fit.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
What's Chelsea doing?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Chelsea's like at one point, she's like, get up and
just get out of here. Like, you know, and I'm
trying to figure out.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And I'm trying to like get myself together. The worst
is when it happens and it's a quiet moment in
a public place. Like, have you ever had this happen
to you in church where you're in church and you
all of a sudden start coughing all over the place?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You want to know where the worst for it to
happen is? In this studio.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh, geez.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
And I feel like it happens to me all the time.
I have to get up and leave.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I care.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
It's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
And sometimes I can't stop.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We're all family and love each other. But you know what?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's annoying to the listeners, though, to hear one of
us hacking in the background.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
The worst is happening in a public place and you
know that they're looking at you like you're going to
give them Ebola.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, it does get to a point with people, though,
where you'll kind of turn and look and be like, okay.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
It's been like four minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because I am backing away from you. Go away.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I will back away. Absolutely. Especially like if you're in
front of me, cause you clearly need space. Yeah. You
need to handle that problem.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Today. I feel the best I felt probably in a
couple of weeks. Like today I actually feel really good.
I'm excited about.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You know, Oh, hold on. Hold on. I'm talking to you.
You're going to be outside today getting some fresh air.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yes. I'm going to be outside and then I'll end
up getting a, I wonder if it's allergies.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Cause somebody, my dad, they're bad right now.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
My dad had hay fever, so it was really bad.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
What is that? I hear it. I don't know. I
don't know what that is. 90 Day Dana is on
with us right now. What's up, Dana?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Hi, Dana.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
Hey, good morning, everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Hey, Dana.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
What's up, man?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Hey, Dana.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
What do I have a question for you?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
What about Anna? Anna wants you to say hi to her.
Say hi to her.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
Oh, hi, Anna.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Sorry. You know, come on.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Nowhere.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
I was getting a little excited there. So, anyway, I
have a question for you. Are you on Listener Pro?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
On what?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Licinopro?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
For like high blood pressure?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'm on medication, but I honestly, I would have to
look at my chart to figure it out, you know?
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Take a look. I had this annoying dry cough, mostly
times when obviously we're trying to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We're old days, man.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It's the worst.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
And so I went to a different doctor, and within
20 minutes, she said, You're on lisinopril, and she told
me about this, and she changed the medication, put me
on whatever else there is out there, and I had
that off.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No lisinopril. I got no lisinopril here, right here. I've
got Zepound, Viagra.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh, Lord.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Sildenafil. Go with the Sildenafil. That works a little better.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's better for the wiener?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He said, I know all of them. He said, I
know all of them. What's up, Alex? How you doing?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Hey, first time, long time. Hey, Alex.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
What's happening?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So I had the worst coughing attack of my life
during the vows at a very luxurious, expensive wedding in
Lake Como.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
You win.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It was dead. I was a bridesmaid.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
So I was up at the front. I couldn't control it.
It started as a very small cough, went into a
full on attack, screaming down my face. I had to
leave the wedding and just help myself for about a
half hour. The worst is people still talk about it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And I've gotten to the point where I cough. And
like you said, tears are running down my face. But
then I start like I'm gagging myself. And I'm like, oh,
now I'm going.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
To throw up.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I've gotten to that point.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Or I'm popping so hard I'm going to throw up.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's exactly how it happened. Worst timing ever.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah. Do you take so-and-so? If anyone objects. Ethan, what's up, Ethan?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
How's it going?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Good, man. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Oh, nothing.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
I was just listening and it reminded me of the
time that I poop my pants in a dead silent
waiting room waiting to get a hearing test done.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Wait, how does this topic that we're talking about remind
you of when you pooped your pants in a waiting room?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Explain what happened.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Everybody heard it.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Yeah, so I'm in the army and I was getting
back from Syria and we were doing all of our
medical exams waiting to get my hearing test done and
everybody heard it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was super loud.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
And then I got yelled at for like a day
straight for my leadership because they were not happy.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Were you sick or did you just really have to go?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I wasn't feeling sick.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
It just kind of snuck up on me and popped
out to say hello.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That is crazy, bro. Did you have a chance to
go clean yourself or what did you have to do?
Where did you go clean yourself from?
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Yeah, they kicked me out of the building and I
had to go back to the barracks and change and
come back.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Oh, jeez.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
He's too calm about this.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I mean, it's accidents.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I feel like it's not his first time. It reminds
me of the time that I crapped myself.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It is not my first time.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
See?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We've all done it.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
And if you say you haven't, you are lying. It's
not his first time.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Like a whole poop?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
You never... We're not getting into this stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Shannon's right there with you.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Not a whole poop, but you've never mind.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Shannon did hers at seven 30 this morning, right after
the dirty.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
She had to run to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I was not, I was not going to stay in.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
