Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mojo in the morning show. So, my wife has gotten
into something new.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, God.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Not that. What? Kev perked up right when I said... No,
I did not. When I said my wife's gotten into
something new... I want that for you. Thank you. I
want that for me, too. No, she's into something new.
She's into something that she and her friends are all doing,
I guess, together. And it's something that, honestly... I feel
(00:30):
like has a stereotype of who does this. And it's
Mahjong or Mahj. Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
So Chelsea in this, by the way, is interesting because
I never thought that I was going to ever be
married to a Mahjong woman. Like I like I thought
that I was married to like somebody that's like really
kind of hot and cool and stuff like that. And
Mahjong women seem to me like Mahjong women are like old,
(01:05):
you know, Jewish women.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Not anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Who are they?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Everybody I know, girl, plays Mahjong except for me.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Girls play Mahjong.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I feel like I.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I haven't seen some of my friends in a long
time because they're all part of like Mahjong groups.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And I don't know how to play.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And do you know that you can hire people to
teach you how to play?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, don't tell her that.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So that you can like know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So it's funny. She's been watching. She's been talking to Tanya,
her friend Tanya, and then Leah. And they talk and
they teach each other how to do it or they're
teaching her how to do it. And then she's been looking,
I think, at YouTube or whatever to figure out. So
then she says to me, she goes, hey, do you
want to learn how to play with me? And I
(01:52):
said to her, I go, ho, ho, ho, ho. Stop
right there. Guys don't play Mahjong.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Really? Guys pickleball. Guys golf. Couples golf. You don't couples Mahjong.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't think, I've never heard of it. I don't
think that there's a guy listening that does it, right?
I used to play this when I was a kid.
Did you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
With who?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Grandma?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
No, on like the computer. It used to be like
a free game on the computer. It used to be
Mahjong Tiles.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Solitaire.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Solitaire. And then it was like this Minesweeper. Yeah, Minesweeper.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I do kind of want to learn how to play,
but I feel like it's gotten so popular so quickly
that now I'm like past the point of no return.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Are they playing with like actual tiles? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And they're beautiful. You can buy all different sets.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
And then a lot of, like, the cute little boutique
stores in the area, like, I love shopping local, but
they all have, like, the hats that say Maj.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I've literally never.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Heard of it until today.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Have you seen this? It's like a matching game, Conda.
You know why you never heard of it?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Why?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Because you're young and full of life.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I think it looks very complicated and daunting, and that's
why I haven't attempted.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I look at it, and it makes me think of,
what was it, Domino's or Backgammon? Domino's is easy. Domino's, yeah. Yeah?
I don't know. I think there's, there's certain things like I,
and I'm going to say this, I'm going to say
that I'm going to probably offend pretty much everybody, but
most importantly, I'll probably offend my wife with this. But
I think that there are certain things that even though
(03:20):
they're popular, you don't necessarily have to have to do,
you know, like I thought that I, I got into
the pickleball craze four years ago or whatever, when COVID
happened and started playing pickleball for like a season. And
then I realized it's not for me. Really?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I thought you loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I liked it. But I knew when I talked to
the Michigan, you know, medicine, orthopedic doctors, they had way
too many patients that were doing it. Really? Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
See, that's how I am with TikTok. I have never
joined the TikTok.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And you never will?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
At this point, I'm like, meh.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
For what? Oh, real quick. Hold on a second. I
have to pick up Chelsea really quickly. Because she's got
a golf tee time that she's about ready to go to. Man,
life is good when you're married to Mojo, aren't you?
Isn't it, huh? Hey, happy life, happy wife. There you go.
(04:17):
I'm talking about your craze of Mahjong. Mahjong. Mahjong. Yes.
And I'm talking about it right now. What got you
to be into this thing? I never thought that you
would be that type of a person.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, it's good to keep your brain busy, you know?
So I'm keeping my brain busy learning a new... And
it's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is it hard to learn, Chels?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Because I feel like so many of my friends play... Yeah.
There's like a card.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I was going to say, there's like a card with
all these.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
There's a card every year. Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
But I'm just learning.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Can you hit it in the kitchen? I'm so really excited.
You got to get out of the kitchen or... You know,
they always terminology. Does Mahjong have like stuff like that? Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
There is like you jokers.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Kongs.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Kongs.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
There's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
A lot going on.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Okay, I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Love you. No, no, real quick.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
She's gotta go.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Is Canasta next? What's that? I don't know. That's another
game that I always feel like all their women play.
I don't know. Bye.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I've never heard it. I feel like you made that up.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, I think there's a game. I think I remember
Ricky Letterman's wife, Susie, played Canasta or something.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Do you know a game I haven't played in a while?
I used to love doing this when we was at
family reunions where they had the.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Little plastic set you can get at the dollar store.
Remember horseshoes? Did y'all ever play horseshoes? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
You throw horseshoes around the stake. Yeah. Especially if you had, like,
the real ones that were made out of metal. You
hear that cling. No offense, but... That's a black people thing, huh? No,
it's not. It was kind of like poor people played horseshoes. No,
I'm kidding. The richer people play. Mahjong?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What is it? The game? Bridge. No, the game with
the stick and the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Bocce.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Bocce ball. Bocce ball. Or croquet. Croquet. Croquet. That sounds fun. Oh, yeah. Croquet.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Poor people always have better fun. That's why our food
tastes better, too.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We used to play pin the tail on, I don't know.
Can I be honest with you? I think that sometimes
there are these games that are out there and social
media makes them like so popular. And I think if
we came up with like a stupid game where we
made up like some stupid rules and just got enough
people to post it, you would get people that would
(06:31):
go out there and try to play it. You know,
like I think we're all creatures of, we all want
to do what other people are doing. I'm about to
buy a horseshoe set.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You want to do horseshoes? Horseshoes lit as hell. I'll
bail off.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Horseshoes are actually live, bro. Yeah. We, uh, we needed to,
to figure this out. We talked about this for a while.
We've never done it. We've talked about doing a show
pickleball game. I still got my paddle. I've never played.
It is pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And I'm not very athletic. It's pretty fun.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So what do we do? Do we do, do we
try to do like a thing where as a show,
we figure out something each month that we do together
as a show. Maybe even try some of these things
like Mahjong or whatever the heck people are playing. That's
not a show thing. But think about it. Shannon's talking
about all her friends. That's our target audience. I'm not
(07:25):
playing Mahjong with y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Can we do volleyball or karaoke together?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Karaoke.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We got to go to St.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Golda. Zach, you got to come in here.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Or a last chance saloon. We got to go.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What is Zach saying, man? Zach wants us to play
as a show together.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Or something that I'm not playing a video game.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
No, no.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Zach, go ahead. Tell everybody. He won't tell us. Hear
me out. Guys, every Thursday, let's just play Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
No. Are you joking?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Come on.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Thank you, my man. It'll be a good time. Do
you remember when everybody was out there catching Pokemon? I
never did that. We had in our radio station parking lot,
the old radio station.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, there were people that would always pull up.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We couldn't make this a gym. This could be our thing.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's a Pokemon term. Exactly. I'm down for a pickleball.
All right.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Wrestling.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm out. This is not the Michigan hockey team. I
don't want to. We don't do things like that. Hydro balls. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,
here we go. 248. Canasta is a card game that
is still a very popular game. A lot of people.
Canasta is huge in the Hispanic community, according to Hana. Hi, Hannah.
(08:50):
Hold on. Brandy says horseshoes are lit AF. Thank you, Brandy.
Why are these people not calling us up? Why are
they texting us and not doing this at all? Nobody's
answering at all?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Horseshoes is basically like cornhole.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It kind of is. The only time I ever remember
my dad playing horseshoes was at the Knights of Columbus picnic.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What is the Knights of Columbus?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
In Allen Park. Well, there's lots of them, but they
always played horseshoes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's like a gang?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I mean, I guess, might have.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Like, a cat?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
All right, for sure. They laugh at Jesus. Risa text in,
and Risa text and said, you know that Mahjong is popular.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Say it with a G.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Mahjong-y. It's driving me crazy. It's popular because there's a
whole Hallmark movie about it. Oh, there is? They make
a Hallmark movie about that thing.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Then I might like it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Then you know that that's got to be a good one.
What is it about? I don't know. They find love
over the dragon. Hold on. Lisa, do you play any
of these games?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I don't play Canasta, but I play Euchre and Pinochle.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Euchre?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
A big one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Euchre's a big one for Michigan.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I play Euchre a lot. Euchre is such a Midwestern thing.
For some reason, I think it's how we got through
the winters, right?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, and I am a first-time long-time Euchre player.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Lisa. Lisa, the Euchre players. Lisa, what do you think
about the show doing this? Like, where we go and
find all these crazy, everybody's playing games, and then we
play them.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I think that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah. You guys should do that.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Get some of the viewers and start a game.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah. Come on. We got to get everybody together, get
a team. We used to have a team softball. What
happened to that? We needed that. What's up, Adam? How
you doing? Hey, I'm all right. How about yourself? Doing okay, Adam.
We're talking about all these games. I think that most
of these games that we're talking about, though, are a
bunch of women playing. What game do you play? Well,
(10:57):
you know, you were talking about horseshoes. I've been in
prison a bunch of times because, you know, I'm a loser.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But anyway, they got horseshoes in prison across Ohio.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Come on. They let them play horseshoes? That's an object
that they get hurt. They got to be rubber, right?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh, no, there's still.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's still.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well, I mean, I guess they got weights.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What kind of crimes have you committed? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm out and I have a job now, so, you know,
it's nothing too crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Give us the CliffsNotes.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
What was the longest time you did? What was the crime?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
About two years.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Four.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
For about $ 30, 000. $ 30, 000.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You stole?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You robbed a bank?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
No, no. I didn't rob no bank. You embezzled?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Two years.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
How'd you get the $ 30, 000 in?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Quit being so coy.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know, that's just an insider trade.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Can't give you all the details. All right. Thank you.
Appreciate you, Adam.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I got to be able to do it again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah. Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Practicing my horseshoes.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Take care. What's up, Jackson?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So I grew up.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
In Louisiana, then moved to Ohio, and all my friends
when I moved taught me Euchre. And we would play
it all the time. And then now I go to
school in Texas for college, and nobody there knows how
to play it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And it's the most annoying thing ever.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And I try to teach them. I'm in a fraternity,
so nine times out of ten when I'm trying to
teach them, they're not really in the right headspace anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And I think it's so much harder.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And so it's just my biggest pet peeve because I
have no one to play euchre with. Jackson, stick to pickleball.
They all know pickleball all across the country. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, we played that a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What Texas university are you at? All right. Jackson, where
are you at in Texas? I go to Baylor University. Baylor!
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Bulldogs! Oh, nice.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
All right. Good job, buddy. I'm still an option. What's up, Lori?
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
How are you? Good.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I was just going to tell Shannon, you have to
take Marshawn Lassner. My friends and I have this woman
that came to one of my friend's houses. Yeah. And
taught the rest of us how to play.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It was three hours. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
For four weeks. And she charged us $ 25 each.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Oh, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
No, it was really reasonable.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I feel like I get very addicted to it. I
could see myself like really getting into it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You would. And here's the other thing. There's a place
called Michigan by the Bottle on Woodward and every, in
Royal Oak, and every Wednesday they have Mahjong. And people just,
there's no charge to play. Everyone just goes and then,
you know, you just drink wine. It's super fun.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I liked it better when Chelsea was in the, like,
Yoga and stuff like that. Like she was into like
things that were, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Mojo, they do have Naked Mahjong on Thursdays at the
Ritz Club.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
By the way, that's got to be, is that where
Bob Bechera used to go? The old kind of goofy
guy that had his own little.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Did you see the country club he belonged to burned
down yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That was his country club? Oh, yeah. Really? Wow. Kevin,
you there, Kevin? Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Kevin, meet Kevin. What's up?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Hi, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What's up, man? How are you?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Kevin, I'm not going to complain about you on the radio,
you know, like everybody else was this morning. Just send
a text. It's not a Kevin thing, I promise. Kevin's
got good news for you.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
We run a horseshoe league, and we got two leagues going,
and we actually.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Got a horseshoe tournament going this weekend in Davidson. Y'all
got a league? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
We didn't tell you to come on out, man.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Where? You said in Davidson? Where is that at? Davidson's
out towards Clarkson. Yeah. Right?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Maybe after my big fat shawarma event this weekend, I'll
pull up.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Where's that at? What's the name of the crew, though?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's for Fraternal.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Order of Eagles. Eternal Order of Eagles.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Am I going to be able to make it out?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I don't know. Between them and what's that one? Not KFC,
the Knights of Columbus.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
The Knights of Columbus, the agents of Columbus.
Mojo in the morning show. So, my wife has gotten
into something new.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, God.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Not that. What? Kev perked up right when I said... No,
I did not. When I said my wife's gotten into
something new... I want that for you. Thank you. I
want that for me, too. No, she's into something new.
She's into something that she and her friends are all doing,
I guess, together. And it's something that, honestly... I feel
(00:30):
like has a stereotype of who does this. And it's
Mahjong or Mahj. Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
So Chelsea in this, by the way, is interesting because
I never thought that I was going to ever be
married to a Mahjong woman. Like I like I thought
that I was married to like somebody that's like really
kind of hot and cool and stuff like that. And
Mahjong women seem to me like Mahjong women are like old,
(01:05):
you know, Jewish women.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Not anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Who are they?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Everybody I know, girl, plays Mahjong except for me.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Girls play Mahjong.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I feel like I.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I haven't seen some of my friends in a long
time because they're all part of like Mahjong groups.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And I don't know how to play.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And do you know that you can hire people to
teach you how to play?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, don't tell her that.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So that you can like know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So it's funny. She's been watching. She's been talking to Tanya,
her friend Tanya, and then Leah. And they talk and
they teach each other how to do it or they're
teaching her how to do it. And then she's been looking,
I think, at YouTube or whatever to figure out. So
then she says to me, she goes, hey, do you
want to learn how to play with me? And I
(01:52):
said to her, I go, ho, ho, ho, ho. Stop
right there. Guys don't play Mahjong.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Really? Guys pickleball. Guys golf. Couples golf. You don't couples Mahjong.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't think, I've never heard of it. I don't
think that there's a guy listening that does it, right?
I used to play this when I was a kid.
Did you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
With who?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Grandma?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
No, on like the computer. It used to be like
a free game on the computer. It used to be
Mahjong Tiles.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Solitaire.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Solitaire. And then it was like this Minesweeper. Yeah, Minesweeper.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I do kind of want to learn how to play,
but I feel like it's gotten so popular so quickly
that now I'm like past the point of no return.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Are they playing with like actual tiles? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And they're beautiful. You can buy all different sets.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
And then a lot of, like, the cute little boutique
stores in the area, like, I love shopping local, but
they all have, like, the hats that say Maj.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I've literally never.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Heard of it until today.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Have you seen this? It's like a matching game, Conda.
You know why you never heard of it?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Why?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Because you're young and full of life.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I think it looks very complicated and daunting, and that's
why I haven't attempted.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I look at it, and it makes me think of,
what was it, Domino's or Backgammon? Domino's is easy. Domino's, yeah. Yeah?
I don't know. I think there's, there's certain things like I,
and I'm going to say this, I'm going to say
that I'm going to probably offend pretty much everybody, but
most importantly, I'll probably offend my wife with this. But
I think that there are certain things that even though
(03:20):
they're popular, you don't necessarily have to have to do,
you know, like I thought that I, I got into
the pickleball craze four years ago or whatever, when COVID
happened and started playing pickleball for like a season. And
then I realized it's not for me. Really?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I thought you loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I liked it. But I knew when I talked to
the Michigan, you know, medicine, orthopedic doctors, they had way
too many patients that were doing it. Really? Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
See, that's how I am with TikTok. I have never
joined the TikTok.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And you never will?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
At this point, I'm like, meh.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
For what? Oh, real quick. Hold on a second. I
have to pick up Chelsea really quickly. Because she's got
a golf tee time that she's about ready to go to. Man,
life is good when you're married to Mojo, aren't you?
Isn't it, huh? Hey, happy life, happy wife. There you go.
(04:17):
I'm talking about your craze of Mahjong. Mahjong. Mahjong. Yes.
And I'm talking about it right now. What got you
to be into this thing? I never thought that you
would be that type of a person.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, it's good to keep your brain busy, you know?
So I'm keeping my brain busy learning a new... And
it's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is it hard to learn, Chels?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Because I feel like so many of my friends play... Yeah.
There's like a card.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I was going to say, there's like a card with
all these.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
There's a card every year. Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
But I'm just learning.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Can you hit it in the kitchen? I'm so really excited.
You got to get out of the kitchen or... You know,
they always terminology. Does Mahjong have like stuff like that? Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
There is like you jokers.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Kongs.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Kongs.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
There's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
A lot going on.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Okay, I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Love you. No, no, real quick.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
She's gotta go.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Is Canasta next? What's that? I don't know. That's another
game that I always feel like all their women play.
I don't know. Bye.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I've never heard it. I feel like you made that up.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, I think there's a game. I think I remember
Ricky Letterman's wife, Susie, played Canasta or something.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Do you know a game I haven't played in a while?
I used to love doing this when we was at
family reunions where they had the.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Little plastic set you can get at the dollar store.
Remember horseshoes? Did y'all ever play horseshoes? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
You throw horseshoes around the stake. Yeah. Especially if you had, like,
the real ones that were made out of metal. You
hear that cling. No offense, but... That's a black people thing, huh? No,
it's not. It was kind of like poor people played horseshoes. No,
I'm kidding. The richer people play. Mahjong?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What is it? The game? Bridge. No, the game with
the stick and the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Bocce.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Bocce ball. Bocce ball. Or croquet. Croquet. Croquet. That sounds fun. Oh, yeah. Croquet.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Poor people always have better fun. That's why our food
tastes better, too.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We used to play pin the tail on, I don't know.
Can I be honest with you? I think that sometimes
there are these games that are out there and social
media makes them like so popular. And I think if
we came up with like a stupid game where we
made up like some stupid rules and just got enough
people to post it, you would get people that would
(06:31):
go out there and try to play it. You know,
like I think we're all creatures of, we all want
to do what other people are doing. I'm about to
buy a horseshoe set.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You want to do horseshoes? Horseshoes lit as hell. I'll
bail off.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Horseshoes are actually live, bro. Yeah. We, uh, we needed to,
to figure this out. We talked about this for a while.
We've never done it. We've talked about doing a show
pickleball game. I still got my paddle. I've never played.
It is pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And I'm not very athletic. It's pretty fun.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So what do we do? Do we do, do we
try to do like a thing where as a show,
we figure out something each month that we do together
as a show. Maybe even try some of these things
like Mahjong or whatever the heck people are playing. That's
not a show thing. But think about it. Shannon's talking
about all her friends. That's our target audience. I'm not
(07:25):
playing Mahjong with y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Can we do volleyball or karaoke together?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Karaoke.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We got to go to St.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Golda. Zach, you got to come in here.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Or a last chance saloon. We got to go.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What is Zach saying, man? Zach wants us to play
as a show together.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Or something that I'm not playing a video game.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
No, no.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Zach, go ahead. Tell everybody. He won't tell us. Hear
me out. Guys, every Thursday, let's just play Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
No. Are you joking?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Come on.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Thank you, my man. It'll be a good time. Do
you remember when everybody was out there catching Pokemon? I
never did that. We had in our radio station parking lot,
the old radio station.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, there were people that would always pull up.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We couldn't make this a gym. This could be our thing.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's a Pokemon term. Exactly. I'm down for a pickleball.
All right.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Wrestling.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm out. This is not the Michigan hockey team. I
don't want to. We don't do things like that. Hydro balls. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,
here we go. 248. Canasta is a card game that
is still a very popular game. A lot of people.
Canasta is huge in the Hispanic community, according to Hana. Hi, Hannah.
(08:50):
Hold on. Brandy says horseshoes are lit AF. Thank you, Brandy.
Why are these people not calling us up? Why are
they texting us and not doing this at all? Nobody's
answering at all?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Horseshoes is basically like cornhole.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It kind of is. The only time I ever remember
my dad playing horseshoes was at the Knights of Columbus picnic.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What is the Knights of Columbus?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
In Allen Park. Well, there's lots of them, but they
always played horseshoes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's like a gang?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I mean, I guess, might have.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Like, a cat?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
All right, for sure. They laugh at Jesus. Risa text in,
and Risa text and said, you know that Mahjong is popular.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Say it with a G.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Mahjong-y. It's driving me crazy. It's popular because there's a
whole Hallmark movie about it. Oh, there is? They make
a Hallmark movie about that thing.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Then I might like it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Then you know that that's got to be a good one.
What is it about? I don't know. They find love
over the dragon. Hold on. Lisa, do you play any
of these games?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I don't play Canasta, but I play Euchre and Pinochle.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Euchre?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
A big one.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Euchre's a big one for Michigan.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I play Euchre a lot. Euchre is such a Midwestern thing.
For some reason, I think it's how we got through
the winters, right?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, and I am a first-time long-time Euchre player.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Lisa. Lisa, the Euchre players. Lisa, what do you think
about the show doing this? Like, where we go and
find all these crazy, everybody's playing games, and then we
play them.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I think that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah. You guys should do that.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Get some of the viewers and start a game.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah. Come on. We got to get everybody together, get
a team. We used to have a team softball. What
happened to that? We needed that. What's up, Adam? How
you doing? Hey, I'm all right. How about yourself? Doing okay, Adam.
We're talking about all these games. I think that most
of these games that we're talking about, though, are a
bunch of women playing. What game do you play? Well,
(10:57):
you know, you were talking about horseshoes. I've been in
prison a bunch of times because, you know, I'm a loser.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But anyway, they got horseshoes in prison across Ohio.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Come on. They let them play horseshoes? That's an object
that they get hurt. They got to be rubber, right?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh, no, there's still.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's still.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well, I mean, I guess they got weights.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What kind of crimes have you committed? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm out and I have a job now, so, you know,
it's nothing too crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Give us the CliffsNotes.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
What was the longest time you did? What was the crime?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
About two years.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Four.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
For about $ 30, 000. $ 30, 000.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You stole?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You robbed a bank?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
No, no. I didn't rob no bank. You embezzled?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Two years.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
How'd you get the $ 30, 000 in?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Quit being so coy.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know, that's just an insider trade.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Can't give you all the details. All right. Thank you.
Appreciate you, Adam.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I got to be able to do it again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah. Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Practicing my horseshoes.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Take care. What's up, Jackson?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So I grew up.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
In Louisiana, then moved to Ohio, and all my friends
when I moved taught me Euchre. And we would play
it all the time. And then now I go to
school in Texas for college, and nobody there knows how
to play it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And it's the most annoying thing ever.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And I try to teach them. I'm in a fraternity,
so nine times out of ten when I'm trying to
teach them, they're not really in the right headspace anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And I think it's so much harder.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And so it's just my biggest pet peeve because I
have no one to play euchre with. Jackson, stick to pickleball.
They all know pickleball all across the country. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, we played that a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What Texas university are you at? All right. Jackson, where
are you at in Texas? I go to Baylor University. Baylor!
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Bulldogs! Oh, nice.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
All right. Good job, buddy. I'm still an option. What's up, Lori?
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
How are you? Good.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I was just going to tell Shannon, you have to
take Marshawn Lassner. My friends and I have this woman
that came to one of my friend's houses. Yeah. And
taught the rest of us how to play.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It was three hours. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
For four weeks. And she charged us $ 25 each.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Oh, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
No, it was really reasonable.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I feel like I get very addicted to it. I
could see myself like really getting into it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You would. And here's the other thing. There's a place
called Michigan by the Bottle on Woodward and every, in
Royal Oak, and every Wednesday they have Mahjong. And people just,
there's no charge to play. Everyone just goes and then,
you know, you just drink wine. It's super fun.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I liked it better when Chelsea was in the, like,
Yoga and stuff like that. Like she was into like
things that were, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Mojo, they do have Naked Mahjong on Thursdays at the
Ritz Club.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
By the way, that's got to be, is that where
Bob Bechera used to go? The old kind of goofy
guy that had his own little.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Did you see the country club he belonged to burned
down yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That was his country club? Oh, yeah. Really? Wow. Kevin,
you there, Kevin? Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Kevin, meet Kevin. What's up?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Hi, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What's up, man? How are you?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Kevin, I'm not going to complain about you on the radio,
you know, like everybody else was this morning. Just send
a text. It's not a Kevin thing, I promise. Kevin's
got good news for you.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
We run a horseshoe league, and we got two leagues going,
and we actually.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Got a horseshoe tournament going this weekend in Davidson. Y'all
got a league? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
We didn't tell you to come on out, man.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Where? You said in Davidson? Where is that at? Davidson's
out towards Clarkson. Yeah. Right?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Maybe after my big fat shawarma event this weekend, I'll
pull up.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Where's that at? What's the name of the crew, though?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's for Fraternal.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Order of Eagles. Eternal Order of Eagles.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Am I going to be able to make it out?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I don't know. Between them and what's that one? Not KFC,
the Knights of Columbus.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
The Knights of Columbus, the agents of Columbus.
