Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have such a great show planned for you today.
I promise you, guys this you'll laugh during today's show
because you know what, it's at the point now where
I think that we've all gotten delirious over the amount
of hours the last month and a half has been.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
There's been a lot of hours that we've been putting
into this saying.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
I was realizing this yesterday as I was driving home
from the radio station. And for those that don't know this,
you know you drive to work every single day. I
don't know what your commute time is, but mine's like
forty five minutes to sometimes over an hour, depending on
how traffic was. Last yesterday was my most longest. I
don't know if that's the proper English chin, and you're

(00:39):
the one that helps me with that, But driving to
the station for the holiday party yesterday took me an
hour and a half to get here because of rush
hour traffic, and so I left my house yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
The party was at five thirty. It started.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I left my house at like four twenty or something
like that, four fifteen, and then he didn't get here
until you have four twenty six seven. Is that still
going on for the children? Actually, actually I left at
six seven or seven o six.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
It was the Christmas party yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It was Yeah, it was the holiday Christmas party that
we had, and but the traffic to get downtown on
the rush hour was crazy. But I realize this. I
have been doing the drive like I'm going way over
miles Mike Porter at Gordon Shovlefe, I ain't hitting that.
And I even bought extra I did fifteen thousand miles
a year. I think I'm going I think I'm gonna

(01:31):
do like twenty five thousand miles this year.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Somebody's listening. They can roll it back for you.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Sorry, Mike, you can find me one of those guys
off of a brand shit we got you do they
have a guy that does that, or plenty.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Of guys, a lot of guys.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I used to have a guy that I used to
I'm not gonna say his name, but you know he
would drive me to and from different things all the time,
shout out to tea.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I won't say the rest of his name.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
And he used to go Mojo Bro, I've got the guy.
I don't think nowadays that you can do it as
much as you could do in the past because of
the technology that's in these cars, but especially on Star
and stuff like that. But I digress. I think that
I have done the drive to and from in the
last month. Normally it would only be it'd be ten

(02:18):
times a week, right, because it would be twice a day,
five days a week because we don't work Saturdays and Sundays.
I think I've done the drive over the last couple
of months like forty eight times or something like wow,
and it's been like a month and a half of
that because there's been so many times I've had different events.
I know, you got games and stuff going on, but
I've had some charity events and then some holiday stuff

(02:38):
going to the concert, jingle Ball concert, and then I
contemplated it. My only problem with moving down here, and
this is really nothing to Detroit, because I love Detroit.
My only problem is on the weekends, I have a routine,
and it's one of those things where the weekend routine
is not necessarily hanging in Detroit. Like during the week

(03:01):
would be fine, but on the weekends, like especially in
the summertime, like golf and and stuff, there's no golf.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I'm in a golf era of course in Detroit, don't
we Yeah, he said, don't.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's not as good as the ones by me, like
Mortgage Class I know, but as like Detroit Country Club
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Unless they want to give me an honorary membership, I'll
take it. But the other no.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
But the the other thing too is like, uh, I
don't know. You also look behind the lens. What is
this routine that you're scared to?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
So honestly, you're Starbucks he loves delivers to his house.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, now Chelsea won't let me do it, So I
go to the Starbucks and Waterford off of Crescent Lake
Road in m fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, that's one uh ding ding in that one. Everybody there.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I usually occasionally Chelsea and I will grab lunch at
Steve's Deli.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
There's no way you can miss this dinner at Red
Robin on him five com.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
But you imagine you.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Are such a creature of habit.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
I understand this because one of my memories of Mojo,
I swear I was in high school and I saw
you at that Starbucks.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Did you you've been going?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Since that's the closest to my house, I'm right there.
So so it's one of those things where I guess
in Detroit. I mean, I guess there's a Starbucks that
right there by Campus Marshes I could probably go to.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
But by the way, that's not a great one one
in the Weston. Is that really a real one? Is
that like a target, A good Starbucks downtown Target? Starbucks?
To me, sock?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
What about the one a Press from Cobo or Huntington.
Is that that's the target there too? I mean, that's
the little Starbucks?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Is there really changed?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, are you sure?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
It's called social bruise?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Now? Okay, all right, But but here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
My problem is this, for thirty years, almost of my life,
I've lived in the same neighborhood. You know, when I
moved so I'm so I moved to that same neighborhood
Waterford West Bloomfield, And when Chelsea and I were looking
for a house, we looked within a mile and a
half square mile area. I mean, you're kind of a
creature of this too, because you live in the same
area too. I like the area that I live, and

(05:15):
it was always because I wanted to keep my kids
in the same schools and I didn't want them to move,
and then we ended up throwing them into Catholic school
and so it didn't matter. But so I guess it
was that like the drive yesterday coming down made me say.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
To Chelse I was on the phone though with her
the whole way.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Like honestly, it was mostly probably communicated because it was
such a long drive. I said to her, ago, you know,
this may have to happen, because the whole idea was
at one point when they said they were moving downtown.
I got told by some of the radio people that
in other markets, like Elvis Duran was one of them,
you should build a studio in your house and you
have the whole show come over to your house, like
that was what they said. Yeah, I would have to

(05:53):
drive and then you would have to drive it. I know,
and I because that's what he kind of does, or
he does it. And I said to him, I go,
honestly now and then he said to me, he goes,
you know what you should do. You should talk to
Bob and you should see if bobble that you have
a studio more centrally located than the day And I'm like, no,
that defeats the purpose of us having a studio. So

(06:13):
instead I'm gonna live with Kevin.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Let's get it. Let's get a better place. I will
get what's the guy's name, Carl? You know what did?

Speaker 5 (06:25):
I came in yesterday to my place and I went
to heat something up in the microwave, and I noticed
the clock on my oven was blinking, which means that
someone unplugged. So I pulled it back and they fixed it.
Ashamed him, and then he said, you are on the
no I walked out because I had to leave, and

(06:46):
I saw him, was like, hey, what's up.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
How you doing. She's like, great show today. I said,
you heard you. Better give them a nice Christmas.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Know they did what they were supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
You know what, though, I would be scared of what
he also did. She's like, you were on the list.
I was like, okay, that actually is interesting. You know
what it is. It's the power of the blow torch.
Right here, it's called the radio. We call this the
blow torch. Man. We're burning this sucker down, baby, The

(07:17):
power of this the microphone. I used to say this
all the time that if you want to make something happen,
you pull out the old megaphone. Attention, please, attention, please
came our choppers. I got something I gotta talk about
something there right now. Yeah, so that that's cool. I
like that they did that. And if you missed that
podcast from yesterday, we were talking about why you're not

(07:40):
paying your rent or why you don't want to pay
your rent things that you know are happening. I could
not believe people gave like cav Hey, here's the deal.
Put money in an escrow account and then you can
don't have to pay your rent.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Legitimate legal advice. How do I, uh, how do I
pull something like that off to get me a place downtown?
Here's the deal?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Uh, I know you and Anna live live down here,
and you live and for those that are in Grand
Raps or Toledo, we're broadcasting in Detroit in a place
called Eastern Market, which is not that far from if
you go to ever Lions games or Pistons games or
Tigers games. We're like, you know, basically a short uber
ride because I wouldn't walk that because I'd be afraid

(08:21):
I'd get.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Killed from all the stadiums and stuff.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
And uh.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
And you guys, which is kind of funny because you
live in like, you know, in this area and urban area,
and I guess if I was in Chicago or New York.
I probably would think that, Oh it'd be cool because
I can walk to work, But you really, our studios
where we're located are not a walkable set of studios
unless you're hanging in just Eastern Market, right am? I?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Right? Have you ever walked here?

Speaker 6 (08:48):
I have because I go to the market on Saturdays.
I don't because we're I would not walk here at
four am West.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Did you get mugged? Is that why your lip looks
like that? By the way, are you what is that?
Is that a shade?

Speaker 6 (09:04):
I'm getting a new face.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
For my thirties black ice. I was getting like.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
A lot of botox put in, and I'm getting old
filler dissolved out of my face.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Wait, they have to dissolve old filler.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Yeah, so they were dissolving it yesterday. And that's why,
Oh my god, I'm.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
A horrible friend.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Because I'm a horrible friend because if something like horrible
was happening to you in a domestic situation, I would
probably not ask about it because I'm afraid to ask
about it. But okay, good, all right, that's good. But no,
I didn't get mugged, and I have walked here before.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, I I've thought about taking a bird before. Obviously
the weather would have to be more conducive. Yeah, but
I will be burdened in the summer probably, So wait,
you would take So I see a guy.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
There's a guy every day when I'm coming here that
had that gets on a bird and he parks it
right by the the uh Shannon's cousin's bar right over
here by the Burger place.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
What's it called.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Full Measure Brewery. It's my uncle ding ding ding. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
So her uncle has that bar there, and the guy
parks the bird there. This is the only thing that
I would think about, the bird. What if I come
out and the bird's not bar And for those who
don't know the bird thing, what is it? It's like
a scooter right yeah, QR code. Anybody can get it. Yeah,
you run that risk. I mean if somebody steals my bird,
can I hide my bird?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Like?

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Well, nobody dump. They make you put it in certain zones.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
So you don't have to pay it all time.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
No, No, you have to pay, but like you, you
unlock it. That's when your your time starts. You have
to pay, and then you lock it when you get off.
But you got to like put it in a certain zone.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Shannon knows this because if there was a time when
I wanted this before you guys started on the show,
I wanted on those vest bas have you ever heard
of those vests?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I've heard of it.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
I want to so bad with a little wicker basket
on the Okay, I do.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Look at.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
However, it's so funny.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
For Christmas, My god, there's absolutely no you understand it
was so bad.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
You understand what you would be on that thing riding around? Yeah,
and you'd probably fall in your face because remember you
didn't you get fall on your face on one of
those birds before you can Oh, this was ripe.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Okay, it was not a funny situation. It was funny
at first.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
But I was a little intoxicated and riding a bird
screwter downtown with my girlfriend Ashley, and I hit a
like a.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Part in the sidewalk where it was uneven.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
When I say, I flew over the handlebars and I
screwed up my How bad was my face?

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Screw Now?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I look worse than Anna never was the whole side
of my face. And you know what happened when she
came and then I broke my cheekbone.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
She came in. I'm like, you look great today.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
It was horrible. I will never ride one of those again.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, Shannon with her vespa with the little basket in there,
the helmet on.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Huh, isn't this the this is with the basket right here?
Look at the.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Basket on the Oh yes, witch, somebody in my neighborhood
has one, and it's green and it has a basket
on the back.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's so cute.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
So I looked into the vespas and I realized my
community that I live in West Boomfield is not an
area for it. Like, there's not a really area that
you could ride it. Even though you can put a
license plate on it and drive it. I'd get myself killed.
People in my neighborhood. Some people in my neighborhood they
try to drive golf carts on the road. I'm like,
you guys are crazy. What's up?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Amy? Hi? Good morning guys. How are you good? What's
going on?

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Most of that guy you see every day on the
bird probably got a dui and can't drive anymore?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You can you? Actually, it's just.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
A scooter, right, It's not more.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Rise's elected. Yeah, I wonder maybe he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Well, that's actually interesting. I should ask him one day.
I'm gonna stop up next to the guy. I'm gonna
be like, hey, anything you want to tell me? You
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
But it's true though. I guess if you did get one,
you know what, out.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
There would be another area if I've moved down here,
you know what I would want to amy you ever
see these guys in cities that are like on a
bike and they'll be like, I'll.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Drive you to where you're going.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I got in one of those in Chicago one time
and the guy literally tried to charge me twice because
he said I was over three hundred pounds.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh really, I swear to you.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Wow, it's probably just cheaper to uber at that point.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Those people aren't cheap. Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Got in on the thing Michigan Avenue at the end
where the lake is. There's a place called the Drake Hotel.
Right by the Drake Hotel. Had him take me all
the way to the river where the Apple store is
in Chicago and the guy says, I have to charge
you double.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
This has been hard going.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
Oh my god, talk about fat shaming.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That was like, what is going on here? Fat boy?
