Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mojo In the morning, Megan had had a was it
the cable guy or something that was coming to the
house or what was it? Cable?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Who is cable?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Or what is it? Well, you're the internet guy. Well
it's it's the same thing, right, isn't it the internet company? No,
welcome to twenty twenty five? What did they what did
they have? Which service did you did you go with?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
My guy, can I tell you?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Well?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
You don't get much of a choice in Toledo.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
There's like a huge monopoly, which I love bringing up
right now because I hope people get heated about this.
But I am very, very lucky that my apartment complex
has a deal because they have so many properties.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I don't know if they're across the country, but they're essentially.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
I moved from Detroit to Toledo, but stayed within my
apartment company, so it's the same everything.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's the same management company. Yeah, thank you, that's the
word I was looking for.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, So I and I want to be very clear,
this is not slanderous against the company.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I am so happy with this company. It's not even funny.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I use metro net so I get to keep my
cheap internet and I'm so freaking excited about this, Like
it's is.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It good internet though?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yes, and it's half the price of every Toledo Internet's
first year, and then it goes up from there, so
it's like it becomes a third of the price of
Toledo Internet. Oh my god, I'm so happy and I
love this company. But this poor guy, this technician came
out to my place yesterday. He showed up at one
thirty and he did not leave until eight thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh what Yes? What was wrong with the internet?

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Nobody knows and it's still not fixed and.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
That unit has some kind of a wiring thing.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
But no because the tenant who lived there before me
didn't have the issue, so like, it's not near, it's
not whatever, and they can't figure out why my account
just refuses to work on the building.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
How long did you think, because you know, they usually
give you a window when they're coming, they never give
you a window of when they're leaving. But how long
did you think they were going to stay?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Okay, So I'm sitting there and I'm like, all right,
a couple of hours. And here's the other thing. He
needs my phone for the setup, so I don't have internet.
I don't have music playing, and I have nothing to
stream on the television. I don't have my phone, so
it's silent in my apartment for seven hours. It was

(02:13):
seven hours.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
He did a full day's worth of work in my apartment.
What do you do during this time?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Are you just I'm unpacking, baby, I got so much
done in my apartment it's not even funny. I felt
so accomplished yesterday. But this poor guy does everything. And
I'm gonna be real honest, when you call out a
tech do you ever have that fear where they're gonna
hit one button, be like it's fixed, and walked out.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
No.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I pray for that, because then I'll feel doune, like
I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
So I don't like him there for seven hours. Well
after like I was like, hell yeah, baby was not.
Muffault could not have fixed this on my own.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
And by the end of the day he had six
engineers on a chat like call and they were all
rewriting the code to my internet to try to give
me internet access again. They didn't resolve the issue, so
they're coming back today. But at like seven last night, Shannon,
I think I started texting you because none of us
have manners but Shannon, so I was like, she'll know

(03:09):
the answer to this. Do you start to offer, like
to cook your technician dinner?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Do you like?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Because he felt embarrassed to ask to go to the bathroom,
and I'm like, you've been here for seven hours, You're
more than welcome to use the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Like I will give you need something to do, I started, actually,
do you want to beer?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
At this point I felt so bad.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
He was driving a company car because I wanted to
be like, bro mikse Is souks like whatever you want, whatever,
and he kept saying like, no, no, I'm not hungry.
And then eventually I took over a bowl of peanut
butter pretzels for him. He smashed him immediately. I'm like,
I know this man is starving. I know he's tired,
I know he's piste off and he's not allowed to leave.
And yeah, I felt so bad, but I felt trapped

(03:47):
in my bedroom because you don't want to be creepy,
but you don't want to er over the technician. I
have a one bedroom apartment, so I'm either in the
room with him or in my bedroom.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I think people call me weird. But whenever I have
anybody come fixed suff even if it's for five minutes,
I always offer him food. But at that point I
would actually offer him a residence. I would say to him,
would you like to be my roommates? Because I think
you've been here longer. You've been here longer than most
of my relationships.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
By being here this long, I legitimately and I have
this guy was so nice, he was so professional. I
want to yeah, so so nice. I have no idea
if he was in a relationship or whatever. I wanted
to crack the joke that I have not had a
man in my place for this long and like probably six.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Years, because I didn't want to be And then in.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
My head I was like, don't be creepy, don't be weird,
don't make him uncomfortable. I was just like, this poor
guy is stuck with me over analyzing this entire situation
while just silently unpacking boxes.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
In my bedroom. No wonder the internet was so cheap.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, right now, I'm not about for years and this
is the first time I've had an issue like this.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
All right, what's the longest that you've ever had a
fixing person in your house? That just good and you
know it took forever to do. I uh, I got
to tell you. We've had so many things wrong with
our house over the years, and we've had people come
and fix somes some things. We had our issues with
the with our water for a little bit and we're
trying to figure it out and the plumber and I

(05:18):
have to tell you, when you hire people, you always
go off recommendations. So my buddy Chris is like, this
guy is the best. He came to me and he
did the over promise and or no, is it under
promise and over deliver? Yeah, he plumber Dave. He told
Chelsea this might be a two or three day project.
It took him like four hours. Chelsea actually was like,

(05:42):
I'm going to marry you. Like that was how great
it was at alcohol you look but then you're right.
But for some reason it is interesting with like internet
and cable and stuff like that. Cable guys there forever.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I just sad the curpe of guys at my house
and the guy came shout out to Gus, by the way,
I love you use this is such a good job.
But he to my house at noon and didn't leave
until about nine thirty and he kept apologizing, apologizing, and
I said, look, same thing I was offering him food.
I mean, we made dinner, like you know. We had
all four kids that day, I think. But there were

(06:12):
certain points of the day where I was like, so
I have to go and pick up my kids from school,
but I'll be right back. I have to go and
take my son to football. I'll be right back. I
couldn't just stay in hall.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
I thought, a little weird accent, how long it'll take,
But I'll just hit him with the are you good?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, Jennifer, listen to this one. How long Jennifer was
the cable guy at your place?

Speaker 7 (06:38):
Ah?

Speaker 8 (06:39):
They were there for about nine and a half hours.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh my god. What were they doing? Were they actually
trying to hit satellites in the sky or what?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
I actually have no idea because I actually went to work.
I worked an entire shift and they were still at
my house. But time I got back, my sister was there.
Shout out to Staphanie, by the way.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
And that's a good sister to stay there for nine
and a half hour. Man with no internet or cable,
you know, it's like, that's the worst. Tiffany, what's up?
It's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Hi.

Speaker 8 (07:12):
We had a guy have to come back three days
in a row. They actually had to call the police
because our internet wouldn't work. They had to dig a
new hole and go upstairs to the upstairs apartment. She
didn't believe they were a cable, so she wouldn't let
them in.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh my god, the guy gets arrested doing your job.

Speaker 8 (07:31):
All I kept doing is hearing them go up and
down the stairs, probably like thirty times and seeing this
one will not work with me. I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. I love when when they go in and out
of the house, in and out of the house and
they have to like do that and the poor guys
have to take off their shoot the little booties and
come back and poor guys.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
My question, do they get paid per house or is
it like an hourly because if I got to stay
there all day, I'm only getting paid for you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
We had a thing one time where we had the
thing something in our house or somebody fixing something. The
guy showed up five minutes into it. He goes, well,
I'll be back here in about fifteen minutes. And I'm
thinking oh, he's going like home depot to get good parts.
And I go, where are you going? He goes, oh,
it's lunchtime. I'm like, you just stuck with my job, Like,
why didn't you go to lunch? He was like, I know,
but he was leaving to go eat lunch. It was

(08:18):
there for five minutes. I'm like, why did you even come, Rachel?

the parts to come in.

We've been without internet for a week at this point,
and he comes knocking next on the door and he's like,
do you guys have a drill or something that I
can borrow because I don't have mine.
