Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo. In the morning show, Shannon took a wrong
(00:05):
turn and almost literally took out every animal at the
Detroit So.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We went to the media preview night of Wild Lights
at the Detroit Zoo last night, which is really cute.
I think it opens this weekend if I'm not mistaken,
but definitely something to check out, even if you don't
have kids. It just kind of gets you into the
holiday spirit because everything is all lit up and they've
got music and you can get drinks and food and
it's really really fun. So myself, my kids, Lucy and Smith,
(00:32):
my mom, my sister Jacqueline, and my niece Stella all
went last night, and we took two separate cars just
because there were so many of us, and so it
was myself and then loosen Smith in my car. I
get a map from the people that are running this
thing at the Zoo to tell me, you know, where
to go because it's not open to the public yet.
(00:54):
So the main gates to the zoo are not open.
There's like a little side gate off of I think
this is ten mile that I had to had to
go through and give my name and whatever, and then
they let us in. Well, if you haven't been to
the Detroit Zoo in any amount of time. It is
completely under construction, like a good chunk of it because
they're making a ton of new really cool exhibits. So
(01:16):
there's a ton of construction app and okay, so we
go in Gate four, which is like way in the back,
and the security guy gives me this map and he's like, Okay,
you're gonna go all the way down past the construction.
You're gonna actually go through the construction. You're gonna think
you're going the wrong way, but you're gonna park over
by the main entrance to the zoo and that's when
(01:37):
you're that's where you're gonna go in.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
So we go.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We go through this whole construction zone. It's really weird
because there's really nobody else there at this point. It's
it's a media preview. It's us and maybe like two
other families, and it's quiet. So we go through wild
lights so fun, kids love it, have the best time.
We get back in a car to leave, and we
have to leave in the same direction we came. It's
(02:05):
so dark, aside from the twinkling lights that are in
the zoo, but in the parking lot it is it's
pitch black. So I'm driving. I mean, I'm going the
same direction I came. But then it comes to a
point where I take a turn. I'm going to show
you on this map. I take a turn. I go
through there, and all of a sudden, Lucy's like, Mom,
(02:29):
you're You're in the zoo. There's animal exhibits on one
side of me and the constructions on the other side.
I see Sven Smith start screaming from the back seat.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I see these two.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Zoo workers running towards me. Back up, and I'm like, ooh, crap.
I took a turn I was not supposed to, So
I backed up my car.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I didn't want the zoo.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I was so embarrassed. I didn't want the zoo workers
coming over to my car. It was like a scene
from a movie where I just put it in We're
verse after the last two days of stories.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I don't want you driving.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Such a bad driver. So I finally get to where
I'm supposed to be going.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Have you ever driven the wrong way on a one
way street? Did you seem like the type I would?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I mean, I probably how I got my very first ticket.
I was going the wrong run way.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Shannon almost killed all the by the way, I feel
like every time I go to that zoo, I have
a hard time finding an animal. You almost killed the
only animal I probably find.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You guys, it was so funny. These are our movie
are running at me with their hands waving like, no, no,
not this way. I don't even think I was on
a road. I think I was on the walking.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Path, all right. So here's the question eight four to
form O Joe live. Who took a wrong turn in it?
You know, almost killed them? I want to know because
they're you know, in Detroit, we have this project on
six ninety six, our big east to West thoroughfare, and
they just recently changed everything in the direction also things,
and I heard that it is a nightmare for anybody
(04:03):
that is trying to go west in six ninety six
that you don't even know which direction you're going because
you're going on different ramps and the ramps are all
crazy and stuff. You met Shannon drive by the way,
it's right next to the zoo.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Zoo, but the zoo, like a good chunk of the
zoo is under construction. And that's where I got very confused,
is trying to get through the construction to get out
again back through.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Help.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, that's the problem that my headlights illuminated the zoo
workers that were running it towards my car.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, that's scary, danger species. Hold on a second, by
the way, let's go back to how excited Anna got
over this? What is zoo? Let me say this to
you as a man. If I ever made a woman
make that noise, I would honestly tell all my friends. Shot,
is it shy? Good morning? What's happening?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Shit?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Shannon? At this point, you gotta are saving some money
because when you become a senior citizen, you're definitely not
gonna be able to drive citizens.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But they're gonna take away driver.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm directionally challenged. It's just a big mess.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Her license is definitely getting taken away from her at
a very early age. Uh, there's gonna be ninety year
olds driving and Shannon's not gonna be allowed to what's up, Dennis,
how you doing?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Morning morning.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh so I was still young. I was like nineteen
or so, and I had just moved to San Diego,
so I didn't have my license that long, and I
was meeting up with one of my friends downtown San Diego,
and that was the first time I was driving like
in a big city. Oh, and I'm on the wrong
side of the road. It's a two way street, but
I'm on the wrong side and I'm trying to get over,
(05:53):
but there's two huge buses next to me. So I
ended up turning less onto another one way or on
it one way, and luckily it was the right Like
I was going the right way, but like there was
like a red line in front of me and then.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It turned gray.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's all like just freaked out and just turned left
and I was like, thank goodness, this is I will tell.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Driving in Cali in California, driving and driving in Florida
are the two worst places because they have so much
traffic A but also their roads seem so confusing, even
though they put on the roads where you're supposed to drive,
like it will say the number that you're like, I
like that on the road on the actual pavement, so
I see that. Okay, if I stay in this thing,
(06:33):
I actually be on the one oh one something. So
what's up, Kaylee on with us right now?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Hi? So my mom was like going through quite a
few phases in life, and she's had a lot of
drastic changes.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
In this change, she turned super super Christian like it
was excessive.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
And in this time, she had my sisters in the backseat,
and she entered into a gay Pride creade and had
no idea.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wait, she drove. She drove her car in a gay
Pride parade by taking a wrong turn.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Crast with my sisters in the backseat asking questions, they
were like four and five.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That is funny. Oh my god, I would say she
was leaning left. Oh hey, listen, listen to that. What's up?
Merrill high.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm a second grade teacher in Detroit. Long time. First
time we went to the zoo a second grade field
trip yesterday. It was the best day ever. No rain,
no snow.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The animals are more active they are when cold. It depends.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Wait, did you did you take any bad turns?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We did not. Our bus driver did not. But the
other one missed the exit on oh no, and we
had to wait ten minutes for him to go all
the way around the zoo. Oh my god, get off,
go all the way around and get back on.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh geez, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But it was spectacular.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So you only had like one of the buses. You guys,
did everybody have to wait for that bus to finally
arrive before you guys can do anything.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
We waited, and we sure said we were taking Woodward
in eight mile back to school at ye.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I know that is funny. I do that too.
I won't get on the highway if I don't know
how to get out on the highway and I'm taking
like mile roads or the local roads, because I know
it will be a little less, you know, intimidating, I guess,
but that's the worst. Construction zones are a big deal.
Like driving in a construction zone and driving past the barricades. Andrea,
(08:51):
you did.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
This, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Where was this vacation in Minneapolis. I was taking my
kids on vacation. We're going to the Mall.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Of America, the Mall of America.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I made a wrong turn and ended up in the
construction zone. They were not very happy with me. You know.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The worst is when all of a sudden, you see
the construction workers looking going, I don't recognize that guy.
Oh that's a mom and her kids. If it's not
a dirty f y fifty or ram, you don't belong.
That's crazy. Well, thank you for the call. I appreciate it.
Take care of yourself. I always do this too at airports,
like going to the airport, you don't know exactly, I'm
(09:33):
trying to find like short term parking.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You know, and then you have to end up going
all the way back around.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Has anybody ever has anybody actually got on the runway.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
No,
It's Mojo. In the morning show, Shannon took a wrong

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
