Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Mojo in the Morning Show capsize it's not

(00:03):
worth the money. What's not worth the money apparently Josiah's health.
And I feel like, as a parent, sometimes you just make.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Decisions on what you will pay for and what you
won't pay for for your children. And yesterday was one
of those days. I've mentioned that I lost my wallet,
still haven't found it at this point, still having gone
through all the necessary processes to acquire new debit card
and all that kind of stuff that was in said wallet.
One of the things that was in the wallet was
my medical health card courtesy of my Heart Radio. Josiah

(00:33):
stayed home yesterday because he was sick, and I told
his mom.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
That I would go grab Joe.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
We would hit an urgent care figure out what's going on,
because at this point he clearly needs an antibiotic. Like
it's not just enough robotestin to go around or whatever
the case may be. He needs something with a little
bit more punch to it. So we go to an
urgent care. I'm like, this is the situation. I don't
have my ID, he does have insurance.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
What can we do?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
They start trying to figure out, pull up different things
and actually text the group chat to see if all
of our group numbers was able to be utilized in
their system, if they can just find it that way.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Lady couldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
She was like, if he was here before, then we
could use his information from his chart that he had
last time.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
So I'm like, okay, this is a new one.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
But he had a physical had another urging here that
I was about fifteen minutes away, and I was like,
all right, bet, we'll just drive over here because they
should have all my information. We drive over there, the
lady pulls up the information. He's like, I see you,
but I don't see his information here. So we wait
for a long time. I call his mama. She couldn't
find his stuff. We in in fifteen twenty minutes. She says, listen,

(01:37):
there's nothing that we can do. I can't pull of
his up his information, but you can't pay out a
pocket and there'll be a little copeic. I was like,
all right, bet, how much is it? She was like
one hundred dollars. I was like, he ain't a hundred
dollars sick. He ain't a hundred dollars sick. So we
went to Target, got the adult rod but testing because
he at the age of twelve where you can go
twelve and older.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
They had a nice honey peck. We went back to
the crew.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
You know, you can view your card on.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I try, I'll put it in app. I don't had an app,
so y'all got to school me on the app. Okay,
but I tried to pull up work day through just
like work day and put in my email, addressing and
all of that.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
That didn't work. So at that point I was just like, whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, it's not worked. I'll show you. So you have voice, Yeah,
my choice.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Or you could pay one hundred dollars for your sick cad. Alright,
he ain't a hundred dollars sick.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's why I buy things for one hundred dollars every
single day.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
And those aren't smart decisions either. Wait, but your child,
what if he gets worse? Then at that point, I'll
have my choice app and we can figure it out.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Your card like right on there, you can save it
to your wallet.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
He ain't a hundred dollars seat, he was fine, Let's
do a gofund me for Josiah.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Go ahead, you can fund it yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
To be honest, there there have been times.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
This actually just happened to me with the dentist where
they're trying to get me to replace a crown on
a tooth that nothing's really happened to it yet. It's
more like preventative so it doesn't crack or whatever. So
I make the appointment. I go in for the appointment
and they're like, okay, it's you know you're paying before.
Your insurance is going to cover this much. But it's
still eight hundred dollars. I was like, I literally was like,

(03:07):
cancel the appointment.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I watched my back out. I'm good.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
No, wait until it falls out of my damn mouth
and you a crown doing it.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
I don't have eight hundred dollars, but I want to
spend on a crown right now.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
You have just by the way, which this is from
the same woman who probably buys eight hundred dollars worth
of Amazon a week. This is the let me say
something to you, if a crown cracks, it's the worst
pain you'll ever go through in your life.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's nerve pain.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
I can walk to my Genos office. I will walk
my butt right there and they can do it them.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm telling you, though, I first off, there is nothing
that's too expensive for my kids except their parking tickets exactly.
But they're health wise, I could never do it like
I would not. I wouldn't do it for myself, but
for him.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
If he was bent over vomiting fever at one hundred
and five, we'd have a different story.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
This ain't that well, that's his illness.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I mean, he's just I feel like he has what
we've all had, and it's at the point where, like
the medical professionals say that the cough and all of
that will last four to six weeks, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
So it's like this is gonna this is what it's
gonna be.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And there may not be medication for it because it's
it's viral and they're not gonna be able.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
We got the adult Roe, but testing like Honey's see
how he is two three.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The funny thing is how much money in roadblocks do
you buy for this kid just because you want to
keep him from We could septether and not bother He
bothers me with excuse me U, I don't have the
hundred dollars here, but can you take it off of
his robox roadbooks? What's going on? How you doing, Megan, Hi,
good morning, good morning. What's happening.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
I've called you like three mornings in a row.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Now, Megan, you are hold on a second. We have
a we have something for you, Megan. Guess what we
got for you?

Speaker 3 (04:51):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Absolutely nothing but just an applause, man.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
An applause.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I love that for me. Well, we don't have we
need to have, like you know how you go to
stores and you have funch cards exactly like I always
love when I give my free drink every now and again.
You know, Uh, Megan, What's what's going on?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
What were you calling for?

Speaker 6 (05:14):
So I'm commenting on keV okay because I get the
whole Like, he's not one hundred dollars sick because I
took my son to the like emergency urgent care and
it's like an urgent care, but like an emergency room,
and he didn't get any type of IVS, he didn't
get any medication, he hardly seen a doctor, and he

(05:37):
basically just breathed like their air. And I owe them
three hundred.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
And we're not doing that.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
He's doing absolutely not.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I'm a firm believer in urgent cares are a waste
of time and money.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Really, absolutely, if it's that bad.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Go to the hospital and if not, do a video
visit on demand in your house. It'll take you five
minutes and get a prescription that way.

Speaker 8 (06:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I always felt like when I went to an urging care,
especially if it was like a you know, a wound
or a break or something, they can never do anything.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
They just basically do a video visit.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
What's on Princess?

Speaker 8 (06:13):
Hello, good morning, Good morning. But I was just calling
to comment on keV.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
Most places really should be able to pull your insurance
information with the social I used to work at a pharmacy.
We pulled information with less and then also too you
could have just tat it and your insurance would have
reimbursed you.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh you brought that up and I was trying to
go through.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
She just wanted a hundred bucks real quick.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
She seemed to be a very nice woman, but I
didn't feel like going through wall to reimburse and all
that type of crow and they didn't.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
What I do I take because I'm always fearful of
which By the way, I cannot believe you've had your
wallet missing for this long and you're not panicking, because
I would have been panicking if it was five seconds.
I take pictures of my driver's license, my insurance cards,
all that stuff, and keep it in my phone and
put it in a file. That's an important file because
there are so many times I think that if I

(07:04):
fly somewhere, I'm never going to have the ability to
get back on a plank, so I'll lose my driver's license,
so I at least have it, you know, they're just
in case. But also then the other thing is that
the insurance card is always one of the ones that
you miss. But if they have your insurance, they should
be able to pull his insurance up because it's.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
The same insurance. You would think you got the same
number problems. What's up Jay?

Speaker 9 (07:24):
Hey Yo?

Speaker 7 (07:25):
What a what a mojo?

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Okav Man, listen bro. My wife just sent me to
the urgent care a few days ago on the same
I'm like, yo, this kid sneeze is like three times
I'm up in the urgent care sitting there paying up
one hundred dollars and then they got me there for
three hours just for them to look at him and
be like, oh, he seems fine.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
He seems okay, hein' gonna tell.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
You what you already know.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
You know what, I would exactly, you know, I'd give
Kevin less crap if it was.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
The story was he walked into the urgent care.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
There were about twenty eight people in there, and he
realized I ain't waiting this long and left more than
one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
He wasn't worth all about both urgent cares. There was
no wait oh, we were the only people in there
because I've done that.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I've done that before, I've done the whole you know what,
you're not arms not falling off, We're going like, I
don't want to sit there and wait.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
But the money thing is he okay, bro dollars. What
were they gonna do that the Robin Tessa couldn't do?
Are they really going to serve his needs? Do something
that's going to magically make him feel better?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
In a day field?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
His mom field about she went really tripping. He has
school today. What's up, Brandon? What's going on?

Speaker 10 (08:35):
So my daughter actually just got put on growth hormone shots.
We've been doing this for the past year where we've
been trying to get her approved, and after yesterday, I
called to get her first script filled. And at this
four thousand dollars a month? Were you for two months?
It's fourteen hundred dollars a month? And that's ruin shart?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Wow? What is the growth hormone shots for? What does
that do?

Speaker 10 (08:57):
So she's got the bone structure of a six year
old and she's nine out this year at this point,
so it's basically to help her grow, just so she's
not always in the bottom one percentile.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Wow. Wow?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
And and you and he listened to this dad, He
loves his kid. He pays four thousand dollars a month.
You wouldn't pay one hundred dollars. This is the kind
of guy you should start to go fund me for.
Are you willing to support the listener whose daughter needs it?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Absolutely? Will you also? Too? Absolutely? All right? Will you
give the one hundred dollars? Will you?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I will give one hundred dollars. If you give one
hundred dollars, you're not giving him one hundred dollars. And
I know you won't even give your kid one hundred dollars. Brandon,
I'm sorry that you deal with that. That's that sucks.
Why not just let her be the shortest kid in class.

Speaker 10 (09:42):
That's what me and my wife have been discussing. It's
even worth continuing. I mean, I mean, look at me.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
You can actually amount you can amount the things being
the shortest in class.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Right dude?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
But knows a weird AI look at just look at Shannon.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Shannon, you are thousand dollars. Were you one of the
shortest kids in class?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And look at you? You were one of the smartest kids
in class? Or if not to smart as she was
the valet? No, but I'm saying, you.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Know what, I.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Honestly, since I think about Shanny, would.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
You prefer to be the shortest kid in the class
like yourself? Or the biggest kid in class like Mojo?
Go the shortest? See, I'm telling you there's all that.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
And if my parents, I guarantee you, If my parents
would you know, have been given the option of four
thousand dollars to make me less big. My dad would
have said, no, I spend that in his food every
single month. Why would I spend that money?

Speaker 3 (10:35):
All? Right?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hold on, Mara says she could have helped you out
with this. What's up, Mayra? Where the hell were you yesterday?

Speaker 9 (10:43):
No, I'm a billing specialist, and I worked in several
different places.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
By law, they were.

Speaker 9 (10:48):
Not supposed to tell Kevin that he could pay one
hundred dollars copay if they didn't even know or could
verify it was.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
One hundred dollars out of pocket. They said, I think yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:59):
But if they could and verify the insurance, I think
they confined that because when you go to urgent care,
they do not go and pull your insurance up right away.
Most of the time. What they do is they let
you get your visits to process whatever code that they have,
and then they bill you for that, and then they
look up your assurance. They can do it by birthday,
social Security number, and there are several porters that can
go on that put up multiple insurances.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
What you're doing, she said, she has never fall for
the trick.

Speaker 9 (11:23):
I met all y'all before I came to the party
for a time long time. By law, that's the thing
that the medical field can do, but they're not supposed to.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
All right, take care of yourself. Tiffany works at an
urgent care and says, what about Kevin, wev you did.

Speaker 9 (11:43):
The right thing. They did the same thing.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Probably would have gave them some Colin all or something
and told them to go home. Literally had a fever
of one hundred and two, gave them Colin off to fine.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
Everybody's like, oh, take them to the emergency for what.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
I have three kids, come on and then honestly, urgent care.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
Most people come in there for a doctor.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
No, I'm just being honest.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yes, that's why I

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Actually spending one hundred dollars in Roebucks would have probably
made him feel better than whatever medicine they would have
gave him.
