Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the mojo in the morning show, Kevin, you
met a lady that has the longest commute to and
from work, and we may have to see if there's
anybody that can compete with this. But what kind of
commute is this? He's insane?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Man.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
So I was at a target, I think it was
in Birmingham, and there's a Starbucks in there. Before I leave,
I'm like, man, let me get myself a medicine ball
pop over there. And I'm having a conversation with the
young lady and I can tell her voice is different
than like the regular American accent. So I get in quizit,
where are you from? She's like, I'm from Canada. And
we started talking about Boxing day and I'm like, oh,

(00:35):
Shannon has a husband named Wes. He's from Canada.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
We started talking.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
She's like, yeah, I'm from Toronto. Okay, Well, how long
have you been living here? She's like, I don't live here. Okay,
you don't live here. Where you live She's like, I
live in Toronto still and I'm like, and you work here?
She's like, yeah, six days a week, so you commute
back and forth. Now he's like six days out of
the week. She travels from Toronto to work at the Starbucks.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
No way, that.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Was my thought.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
I literally, I'm like, there's no other jobs that are
closer to you, or you can't live here, she says,
in this economy is way too much for her to
move here. She goes to school in Wayne State, and
I think Starbucks in particular is like paying half of
her tuish it okay, So she's like, I have to
work here and drive home every night.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Wait, so she drives every day or she lives here
for six days a week, goes home for the week. No,
she said, she drives.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
She says, she gets off so she said typically I
was like, man, like what time do are you getting home?
And like how long are you able to sleep before
you got to turn on? That's terrible, she said. Typically
I get home about three am. And she said, I
don't have time to really like go to sleep. She said,
I just freshen up, jump in the shower, basically do
my hair real quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I gotta tw we explain something to me, though, How
is it that? What is it drive to Toronto? It's
like three and a half hours, it is I thought
I took it. I did it one time.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Sometimes it's closer to four. Sometimes you could fly. Know,
we we typically get there in like three and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Really, yeah, that's what she's doing. Long drive. That's insane
every day every day. And I thought people who drive
from Detroit to Grand Rapids every single day was crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
That's so that's it's another full time job of just
driving crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
She has the energy we had on the five to
six fifty five the trucker. But he's a trucker that
you know, drives.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
He had, he gets paid for his time to drive.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, but people that do the long commute crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
There's ten thousand million Tim Hortons in Canada college to.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
But there's more Starbucks, is what I'm thinking.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
But I get okay, so I do well. I mean,
if she's going to Wayne State, so she's already here
for that.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
But still that is.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Eight four four Mojo Live eight four four sixty six
five six five four eight. Who's got the longest commute?
That's listening to us right now?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Nobody's beating.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I drove to the radio station for the party last night,
and it took me an hour and a half. And
I said to myself, sitting in that traffic, an hour
and a half.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
If that was my drive every single day, i'd retire
or something. There's no way I had.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I came at Michigan State yesterday. It's about an hour
and twenty if I do it right. And how many
games you do a year?

Speaker 6 (03:21):
See?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Not a lot?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Not a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's like a handful. Would you do more if if
they gave you more? Or is it tough for you
because you got the pistons and stuff too? I would
do more? Yeah, yeah, I would do that's a lot.
It is a long time. I mean, and listen, I
don't think you get rich doing that, but I think
it's a good exposure for you.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
To do it.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
But it's fun, it's purpose field hold on saying, Erica,
are you there?

Speaker 7 (03:42):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (03:43):
On there.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Erica has nurses who come from Toronto and they do
this every day.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, every day. I was at Kabanos Cancer Institute and
a lot of my nurses came from Toronto. Shout out
to them. And one of my nurses, she was so
special to me. She put here to the tomato chips that.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Are so good over there in Canada, the what things?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
What did she give you chip?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Because the tomato? Oh yeah, shannons ketchup chipsip. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Shannon had those things.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
One is obsessed with them.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Those things were gross. I tried one of those. I
thought that they took all the preservatives out of everything
that thing. I had more preservatives than that thing. That
stuff gives you cancer. But yeah, that that's that's wild banded.
The nurses, I wonder why they come in from there.
I wonder if there's uh not good nursing jobs over there.

(04:44):
What's going on in Ash? How you doing.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
Good?

Speaker 1 (04:47):

a half or four hours? You ain't the most uh
longest commute? How long is yours?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Mine is only an hour?

Speaker 8 (04:58):
But hearing that on the radio this morning made me
feel a lot better about my community.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
I bet, yeah, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 7 (05:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (05:07):
I thought mine was a lot, But hearing that, I'm like,
I don't know. keV is asking where she gets the energy,
probably from the Starbucks where she worked, because nothing else
to give her the fueld.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
She said, caffee, how you do that?

Speaker 4 (05:18):

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I don't complain. I have never once complained about my driver.
My drive is twenty minutes. It is the easiest drive.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Who's saying, you know why I complain because A yes,
sor for twenty six years or twenty five years, I
didn't have to do this drive, and then the last
years of my radio life, I all of a sudden
have to move into an hour drive every day. They
weren't thinking about me when they moved to the studio.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
Who's saying, I totally understand, but I started taking my call.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
You guys have a good day.

I don't know if you're hearing my voice. But I
wake up extra early. I live in California, so my
iHeart radio listener. I wake up at four in the morning.
Gives me an opportunity to listen to your show. But
I also have to go to work, where my commute
is two hours.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
It can that's amazing because it's only a five minute
or five mile drive, right California.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Well, no, Shannon's been to the Bay Area. She emails
what the traffic's like from her friends.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
That's not.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah, And I'm an actual art teacher, So I commute
from basically Napa all the way to Oakland, California. But
I love it because not only like I said, I
can listen to your show, but I use my two
kids as a commuter lane, which is total of everything.
So if parents are complaining about like waking up early,
but still get to use your kids as a communitly

(08:51):
take advantage. But yeah, that's all thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
You guys in California. You guys in California are really
no joke. I mean the idea of that you drive
what is a minimal distance for us that would take us,
you know, twenty five minutes or so, it takes them hours.
The scenery is different, I will say, no, it's bad.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Yeah, I get to see that.

Speaker 1 (09:15):

I drive three and a half minutes to work.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Really, and I bet you about that. Yeah, why do
you not walk If it's three and a half minutes.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
That's just I mean, that'd be too far away. Cry,
I take me twenty five minutes. But I do, in
my defense, I do spend the rest of the day
in a truck driving soul.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
That Yeah, that's uh. The short commute people like I
used to have. I used to have a great commute.
It was like twelve minutes or fifteen minutes and stuff.
It's not.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
And I used to complain when it was like that,
I don't I'd take me eight minutes of gear. Oh,
and A said, if I'm just you know, just really
nearly driving. Yeah, although I will say this though, you
know what I end up doing. The morning, I get
a chance to listen a lot to news and things
like that to kind of see what's going on. And
then the afternoon I return all my phone calls, so
I kind of get a chance to get on the

(11:39):
phone and do all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
So I want to Tesla to drive me. And then
if I have that, I just sit back and still
be so scared.
