Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This weekend, it was like the perfect setting, the perfect storm.
We looked like, you know, everything was going that way.
We were even playing. You know what I blame. I
blame our bosses. I'll blame I'm gonna blame Colleen Grant
who because by the way, are we not back yet?
Where's kpus? She not back yet? It still says that

(00:22):
we're uh it says Mojo. In the morning, we'll be
right back on the on me. The stream people think
that we're still in the longest commercial break of our lives.
So I'm gonna blame them because they started planning a
super Bowl trip for us as a show to go on.
And so they started talking last week about us going
to the super Bowl, and I said to Tony, I go,

(00:44):
you can't mention this out loud, Like you cannot start
talking this stuff like we have to play it cool,
like we've never, you know, in the millionaires thought we
would get here, Like we can't start counting our chickens, right,
It's what teams do. Teams, don't you know, they don't
put stuff up there they say, so, yeah, we're going
to be in the super Bowl because that's locker room material, right,

(01:05):
you don't want that, And then look what happened to
the Lions. The Lions go out Sunday, Jared Goff has
the worst He had the worst game than he had
when he played for the Rams back in the day.
This might have been the worst game as a Detroit
Lion that he's ever had. And the defense looked like

(01:26):
Swiss cheese. I mean, they did not look like the
same defense that played against Minnesota. Then we find out
did you know that Dan Campbell gave him the entire
week off? The reports were should never give him that
week off. Dan goes in the locker room, goes from
Dan Gamble, the guy that's, you know, toughest guy in

(01:47):
the world, a guy who literally I wouldn't want to
take on in a bar fight, to Dan crying Campbell.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
When you see your players give all they have and
h and you lose that way, it's tough. You know,
you don't want that for them. So well, we'll be
better for it, you know. And there again credit Minnesota.
But you know, we we made the one mistake that

(02:19):
cost us, you know, and uh and so ultimately you
know it, Uh, we didn't we didn't do enough to them.
But I was proud of them, and I love the
fight they have in them, and I love the grip.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I could not believe.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
How many it made me sad. Ton't w watch him.
You could just feel like he's just devastated.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I still don't even want to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
You can't cry, though, Oh see, I think that made
me love him even more than I already did.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
I am a crier.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah you are, so you should be talking about him, and.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I should not be a football coach because football coaches
should not cry. Bill Belichick never went into the locker
room and cried. I bet it's true that six championship.
Yeah right, I mean, I just can't cry like that.
I got it. I had guys. Are there any well

(03:15):
women call us call guys out right now? Are there
any women whose guys cried? Because I could not believe
how many guys I saw on social media tiktoks of
grown ass men crying sobbing. This was our year, man.
That's why I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
I haven't talked to anybody about the game, and I'm
still not ready, Like I'm still emotionally removed from it,
Like I'm not trying to even think about it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
For real.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
It also pisces me off the people that like revert
back to Like I was at brunch on Sunday and
I went to brunch at a place called Precat's Cafe,
and it's next to a store called LeAnn and Lulu,
and there were there was a guy in Leon and
Lulu and he was in line to buy a sweatshirt
that said same Old Lions. And I'm like, what a

(04:05):
dick Like, I don't know, he had it in his hands.
So but I even my sister was like, boo, like,
you can't say that about.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
This team this year. No, you can't say you can't cry.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think it's sweet that you think that Van campbells
sweet for crying, But Jan Campbell can't cry.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I mean with you, Joe Hart and soul into something man,
and listen, here's the thing. We cannot praise this man
and hoiste him on the pedestal every Monday about how
passionate he is in the locker room and then try
to use that same passion against him when it's not
raw raw rock. But his tear is an emotion. He's
a passionate guy through and through.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You cannot cry biting knee caps you got to bite
knee caps when you're not crying. Like if you're crying
biting knee caps it is almost a defense mechanism of
biting the knee caps. It's not actually being on offense,
you're being on defense.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
If we showed you a video right now of a
military dad coming home and surprising his daughter at school,
you'd be a puddle.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Bruh, A puddle bruh. Not Dan Campbell. I'm mojo, I
have more estrogen in my body than testosterone. Dan Campbell
is nothing but testoster.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
Not true anymore.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
By the way, you told us a testosterone story last week,
so you know what, and I bet you and you
would still be crying.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I did Dan Campbell cry when Ben Johnson called him
and said, I'm going to the bear.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I love you, Dan, Listen, I'm not going to lose
faith in Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell's my He's my gude man.
I love him. But Dan, you can't and hold on, Jennifer,
call out your fiance. Your fiance was crying also after
the game.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
Yuah, so good morning everybody. Man. So my say, we
were on the couch watching the game and it's you know,
the last few minutes where the last couple drives we
were hoping for, you know, the hail Mary and everything,
and it doesn't happen, and he literally slops onto my

(06:15):
lap and I can feel the tears on my leggings
and he just laid on me and cried. And then
the next morning, I know, and the next morning he
woke up and he was just crying, like tears in
his eyes. I rolled over and I'm like, are you
I didn't even I couldn't even get it out. I'm

(06:36):
just like, yeah, okay, this is how yeah litter.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Really And it's so hard for me.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
Not to laugh. I wanted to laugh. Mojo, I'm like, like,
I get it because I've been a die hard Line
S fan since i was like eight, But you know
it's I get it, but I don't see it.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
To me.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's different if it's like my man, I don't know why.

Speaker 8 (06:58):
But when it's Dan Campbell, I'm like, oh, yeah, guy right,
And then as your man and you're like, oh, like
for you, you're looking down at this guy going I
have the egg, but you're looking up at the TV guy.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
I get it, and I love him.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's the guy that's supposed to be protecting you. If
somebody comes and, you know, try to roping guys, he's
going to be in the closet crying. Uh. Thank you
for the call, by the way, Jennifer appreciate it. H
Hopefully he's not listening, Carrie. What's going on? Hi?

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Hello, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 9 (07:37):
I just wanted to say that.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (07:39):
I used to date someone a few years back that
when we went to the movies and there was an
emotional movie, emotional part, my ex would cry and we
would leave separately because there was no way I was
walking into the lobby to the car with him, so
I would leave first and he would have to meet
me there.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
See.

Speaker 9 (07:56):
I feel bad when you cry.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I cry all time I do. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Listen.
Can I say something to you. I am not saying
that guys shouldn't cry. There are times and places, but
you're a football coach, for God's sake.

Speaker 10 (08:16):
The only people that are allowed to cry during this
are the people associated with the team.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's when the fans cry that I'm like, pull it together.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Well, that's your own fault. Don't gamble. If you're crying
over your you're gambling, then you.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Have a problem. Dan Gamble, that's his name. You can cry.
Here's the deal. If he wins the Super Bowl and
he's hoisting up, you know, the championship, like, hey, we
want it, we did it for Detroit. Cry all you want.
You can't cry after a loss.

Speaker 10 (08:45):
No, Yes, that's exactly when you cry when you make
it all the way to the end and then.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
You don't get it and you've worked that hard.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Megan, You're allowed to cry if you're on the team.
For his for he's guys.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Than any coach the history of football. Okay, you can't.
I'll never trust him on a fourth down ever again that.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
It says a lie.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'm over.

Speaker 10 (09:05):
That's why the entire league has started going for it
on fourth And those are stats we talk about now
in every single game. Is the conversion rates of going
for it on fourth for every team because the Lions
are so successful at it, You're right that it definitely
hasn't made an impact on the game in general.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Holly, where are you at house? Some Holly campbeill. Give
him give him some grit, give him his grit.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
He posted that broken heart.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Debbie. What's up, Debbie? It's Mojo in the morning. Hi, Hi,
Debbie Hi.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
I'm just wondering when it would be okay for him
to cry in your opinion, Never.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
It would be okay for him to cry in the
closet in the locker.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Room like Abby Lee Miller. Go cry into your pillow.
You're allowed to be disappointed.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Dance reference you're broken.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I want to see him get up there and go
he's got damn players. You know, whoever the twelfth guy
is should be.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Cut and then everybody for having no empathy.

Speaker 10 (10:07):
And we talk about the culture there, that's rebuilding the culture.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
This is just the coach.

Speaker 7 (10:13):
It all comes down to him.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
That had very Matt Patricia vibes. When I saw him crying,
I did not.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Want to see him, and you were such a hater today.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm not a hater. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, listen,
I'm not the toughest guy in the world. I'm self admitted.
I do radio for a living. You know what I mean.
I I you know, I'm not a guy that you know.
I don't uh. I don't motivate through uh through throwing
things and running into the locker room and going crazy.
Every single game he would walk in there and that

(10:41):
locker room was on fire. His locker room speeches were amazing.
Now he's crying. That's the same passion, bro, what's going on?
Arts high Art? It's Mojo in the morning. What's happening?

Speaker 7 (10:55):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 11 (10:58):
Where always cry? When?

Speaker 7 (11:01):
When always crying?

Speaker 11 (11:04):
There's some radis in the South show.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
I just want to know if this is how you acted.
I gotta put this through because I could guarantee you
did not.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Hey, I'm already gone one, but mo Joe, come on,
what's up my Dan Campbell man? I mean, we started
from the bottom. We're here.

Speaker 9 (11:24):
You know I didn't cry.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I gotta we gotta wait a whole year. We got it.
First off, we gotta watch Washington and Philadelphia. You imagine
how horrible it would have been if Matthew Stafford would
have won. We would have to watch that. Sorry, guys,
ass going to another NFC championship and we didn't get there.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
I'm sorry, but some of you fans are so ungrateful.

Speaker 10 (11:47):
Like growing up a Lions fan, we literally had win
sixteen seasons where we would turn the games off at
halftime because we were down so bad and we knew
we were gonna blow away and it was just over
and your dad would curse and throw the remote and go.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
To the garage for two hours.

Speaker 10 (12:00):
Can we just be a little bit grateful that they're
worth watching and the entire culture of our city.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Has turned around for this team.

Speaker 10 (12:09):
Is that even just the team itself, but if you
go downtown and you see how many people are down
there and they're going to games and they're tailgating, and
our small businesses are coming back in people at Briting
merch and you could talk to fans at the grocery
store and be like, go lives and everybody's happy.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Like, can we just be a little bit grateful?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
We cannot. We cannot. We can't settle for that. We
need to be like Philadelphia and Boston fans. Oh my god,
come on, it's what.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Will always be about above everything else. If you don't
have that, and you don't have intestinal fortitude or mental
toughness resiliency about you, then you're not gonna be able
to play here. That's the bottom line. Our guys believe that,
you know, the coaches believe that, the whole organization believes.
It's when you see your players get all that they
have and you lose that way it's tough.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh, come on, stop this.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
What was the last time we were happy to don't
forget we used to wear paper bags on our head.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Ye after the Minnesota game, I was really happy. Hold
on a second, Kelly, your fiance is a crier. Tell
me the craziest thing that your fiances cried over? Kelly?
What is going on? Kelly?

Speaker 6 (13:22):
I don't know, Kelly.

Speaker 11 (13:23):
Hi, can you hear me?

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Hi?

Speaker 11 (13:25):
So I was gonna say, we're big Game of Thrones fans,
And when there was a scene where we actually found
out the meaning between like the hold the door scene,
my fiance cried like so bad and he watched that
episode three times after that and each time he cries

(13:47):
the hold the door. But I sorry?

Speaker 7 (13:51):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is that a spoiler alert? Will people be pissed if
they know that although Game of Thrones has been on
for a while.

Speaker 11 (13:57):
To be very I don't they've been on for a while.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (14:01):
Wow Yeah.

Speaker 11 (14:02):
But I did want to say for Michigan people, I
am I'm very very sad that the Lion's loss. I'm
very very sad. Come a bu Mikey standers still, Oh
my gosh, represent for Michigan. You know you want to Natty.
Last year, you come in as a rookie, you go
to your hometown and you showed up. So if there's

(14:25):
a silver lining out of anything, it's we raise a
good Mikey Sanders still and here he is.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Going to the next Time's right, that's right.

Speaker 11 (14:35):
So let's get it.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Kelly, Kelly, I got three words for you, actually four words.
Oh the Ohio State Buck, guys, No, Michigan Baby, take
care of yourself.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Love you guys.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Ticket are you? Baby Leg Jay? What's going on? Baby
Leg Jay?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Hey? Hey, good morning guy, doing as well?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
There's no way a guy with a voice like that
cried at all on Saturday night? Did you, baby like Jay?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Yes, hey, even a hawk got feelings?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
You heard?

Speaker 10 (15:16):
I was at you.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
I heard it at the same time.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
You know, I'm so.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
Proud of you.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Dare you?

Speaker 7 (15:23):
How dare you? Who go chack me?

Speaker 2 (15:29):
The man is the size of a baby leg. Cannot
be crying at a game like that.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
Hey, even like they'll see even a hawk that feels too.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
All right, Listen, I'm telling you this. I didn't cry.
I needed prozac. That's what that Maybe that's what helped
me on the whole deal. I was so depressed.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
You need to come hey out whop me now, I
show you I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
I don't hang out with men that have larger penises
than me or women. I try to stay away. I
try to stay away. I feel in he avoids me.
By the way, Meggan just gave us a speech just
a second ago that was unbelievable, and Campbell bring her in.

Speaker 10 (16:06):
Can I tell you it is so frustrating as a
fan to hear people act like this, like, just be
grateful that we had a season that was worth watching.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
That's the first time in my

Speaker 10 (16:18):
Life that I was excited every weekend, says no Lions fan.
