Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. Here's the topic,
and I want to call us up. And if you
need to just say, you know, maybe not a person's
name but an initial, you can do this. I want
to know who are you trying to avoid right now?
Everybody has somebody that they're trying to avoid. Could be
a neighbor, could be a coworker, could be a boss,
(00:21):
could be Fletch. I bring this up with all great love.
Does Lydia have Fletcher's number? Somebody send Lydia Fletch's number
just in case.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
She doesn't have it. Zach's on my way, all right,
So I.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Feel like such a jerk. I'm gonna call myself the
Jersey Jerk. I was going to Jersey Mikes to pick
up my order yesterday and I pulled into the Jersey
Mikes and there was one parking spot available, and a
parking spot was right up close to the front of
the store. Perfect, very happy until I parked the car
and looked over to my left. There was a Nissan
(00:54):
sitting next to me, and I looked inside and Fletch
was sitting in there.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
For those that don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Fletch, Fletch is the guy that produces all the deep
voice guy stuff, you know, the things that we run
on the air that you hear in between the same
mojo in the morning. But he also was a proud
member of the show. He's an alum of the show,
and he's a good friend. But I did not have
an hour and a half to sit there and talk
to Fletch. All I wanted to do was get my sandwich.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And get sandwich and get.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Home and go eat. And I didn't want it to
become one of these things where he's telling me about
he's playing world class tennis or something like that, or
you know, he's at home watching Family Guy episodes, or
how much you know he uh you know uh has
new drops for me, or whatever the deal it might be.
So I decided what I was going to do, and
(01:45):
this is where I talked about how you're avoiding somebody.
I decided to hide in my tahoe. I got in
the car like I sat in the car, but I
sat scrunched down.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You did not.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know the little pillar that keeps the driver's side
in the passing the back seat, you know, like that,
it's like where the door wall is. It's like a
little it's kind of just slim enough that it can
hide my head so that nobody can see it's me
inside there. So I hid in there and scrounched all
the way down, and I looked over at his car
waiting for him to pull out. Yeah, and that bastard
(02:16):
was eating chips in the car, chip by chip by chip,
eating his chips.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm like, this guy's never gonna leave.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh god, I can totally see this happening.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It was crazy. Do you ditch the good spot?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
No, because there was nowhere else for me to park.
But also he was parked right outside the store. There
was no other entrance into Jersey Mics. But I know you,
I know you had a hoodie. Put the hood up.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You no mojo. You could spot my walk at a
mile away. It's you have a very wattle.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah. But so I sat there for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It must have been five ten minutes, and I'm like going,
oh my god, I ordered this thing as I was
driving home, So this, you know, sub has got to
be just sitting there waiting for me. Then I thought
to myself, no, that's not the case, because whenever I
order a sub of Jersey Mikes, it takes them eight
hours to make the damn thing because they only have
two people working behind them.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's because everything is fresh and they put so much care.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I know it's family owned and operated. I love Jersey Mikes,
by the way, I will fight for Jersey.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Is anything cooked there?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yes, they have cook stuff. I did the Jersey Mikes
roast beef turkey ham combo. I forget what it's called,
but it's delicious, and I get a gluten free bond.
So I know they have to clean and sanitize everything.
So this is not a commercial for Jersey Mikes, all
all right, But this is a commercial for avoiding people.
So Fletch is sitting in a car right next to me,
(03:38):
and he's just sitting there and I'm going, oh my god,
this is crazy, and it got me thinking. I think
everybody has somebody that they're avoiding, and a lot of
times the person that you do not want to run into,
you end up running into the most store.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I mean, there's a few people that I wouldn't want
to run into. But I feel like this happens to
us all the time with teachers. If I'm with the
kids and we see a teacher out in the in
the wild. I have to hide somewhere with, you know,
whichever child I'm with, so that their teacher, the teacher,
not the teachers that they have, but you know, like
the music teacher or teacher or whatever, doesn't see them.
(04:14):
I'm like, why are we so afraid of this? I
have no idea.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You understand, those teachers are hiding from you too. They
don't want to see their parents.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Pally probably, But I was like crouched down at the
end of the aisle at the grocery store a couple
of weeks ago because one of Lucy's teachers was in there.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm not doing something inappropriate or not at all.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I just don't think she wanted to be spotted.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't. I have no idea. You know what.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I hate that when I used to have that neighbor,
Terry that lived next door to me, I would have
to pull into my garage and I would have to
shut the door immediately after I pulled in the garage,
otherwise it would be a two and a half hour conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I do the same thing, and if you've been a
listener of this show for a long time, I do
the same thing in the fall with my neighbor across
the street, Marty, because she blames me for all the
leaves that blow across the street into her yard, and
I I do not want to hear it, so I
run in my house.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, I felt, honestly, uh, kind of embarrassed by this
whole thing, that that poor Fletch and I haven't seen
Fletch face to face in a while.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We talk a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh I'm mad at her anyways, Really, why he texted
me at one o'clock in the morning the last time?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
He wants a date with you so bad? I love
this man with all of my heart. How dare you
text me at one o'clock in the morning. How dare you?
He's been begging for a date from you for a
decade going.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's when you text him back at five thirty in
the morning, when you know he just went to bed.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, Leonard, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning. Who
are you avoiding?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Oh? I ain't avoiding anybody. I was trying to tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
The part that you have hidden behind the B pillar
is that what is called automotive vice? But what is
it called the B pillar?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It goes at order, so that's your windshield. That's the
A pillar. What do you do? Are you a body
shot gun? No? No, I just loved cars.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I love it man, while I was hiding behind the
B pillar. Believe it or not, Man, my big old head.
I can't believe he didn't see me. What's up, Michelle,
it's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
What's going on? Who you avoiding?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm I'm avoiding Old man Dave.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Who wait, who's old Man Dave?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Old man Dave is this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
If he's not at the gas station, like the local.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Gas station in the morning, he drives around town and
he's retired. My mom, my mom passed away, so he
feels like he needs to come check in on me.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I feel like I.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Live in the country, so like you know, we got
dirt roads and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
He's hell, cruise down those.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Dirt roads real slow, just here and through the woods.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
To see if I'm on that porch.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And if I am, he pulls in.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
They do it all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
If I hear his truck, I jump and I get
up and I run into the house because I will be.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
On that porch for two hours.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yes, that old man.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oh yeah, the sad part is they're sweet neighbors and
they're sweet people because they're looking out for you, but
you just don't want to have to have that long conversation.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Have you, guys, ever been out in public and you
spot somebody that you know but you pretend you don't
see them, but then they spot you and come up
to you, and you have to fake surprise that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But I was at a restaurant this weekend where a
girl who worked there and I clearly knew each other,
and we've always looked at each other and go, we're
going to pretend that we don't know each other. I've
walked away, Dad.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That is funny. I never mutual agreement.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You're both avoiding each other, like maybe by hey, initial end,
you're being voiceless.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Guys, what's going on morning?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
My am?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm avoiding my dad.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You're avoiding your dad?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Why?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
My dad has a new girlfriend and he is very
excited about it. They haven't gone on very many dates yet,
so I don't want to get emotionally invested. So I'm
just kind of like even my distance a little.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Bit right now.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh you know what though, I kind of get it though,
you know what I mean, like the whole new girlfriend part. Yeah,
you know what, and you don't want to see her.
When my dad started dating after my mom died, I didn't.
I didn't want to see my dad with another woman,
and I didn't want to actually deal with her.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So I get it. That could be two d.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeh So I don't really, it's just too early for me.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Uh, well, good luck to you avoiding hide behind the bee?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
What is it called again? The bee? The b pillar?
Hide behind the b pillar?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Hold on, let's see a flash answers, he's, ah, I
do feel bad because somebody is gonna listen to this
and they're gonna go, hey, they were talking about you
on the radio today. And the problem is what's going
to happen is he's gonna think, oh, that's cool, and
he's gonna go listen to it and hear me talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Wanting to avoid. Yeah, but I told him I loved
a minute, so i'll you said you would date him,
I would just for his mom's credit card. He's going
to masturbate to that.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know what's that mean?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, that is true, that is true. That's fletch. That's
that's a fletch thing. Hey, hey, fletch, I just wanted
to leave you a message and want to find out
which sub did you have yesterday at Jersey Mike's.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
How are those chips?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
How they looked really good.
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. Here's the topic,
and I want to call us up. And if you
need to just say, you know, maybe not a person's
name but an initial, you can do this. I want

(00:21):

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
