Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. I was
the party pooper on Friday night. So Friday night shocker.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
She's learning really quickly.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Somebody's a little too comfortable. Huh, how long have you
been here and you're already making fun of me? Or
maybe she's comfortable. Story I like this. Oh, let's hear
the story.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
All right.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
She's a little saucy today, kind of like this, like Anna.
Some listeners have said to me, They're like, hey, Anna,
I don't hear her very much. She seems very quiet,
not anymore.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
All right.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I was a little Let me tell the story. I
was drinking and partying with some friends on Friday night.
And by the time that it was getting ready to say,
all right, we're either staying here or we're going somewhere else,
and this usually is we end up finding another place
to go to. Some people had an idea that they

(00:56):
wanted to go on one of our buddies boat.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
At that time. All right, and this is like ten
ten thirty at nightish. Okay, this is a faded decision.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
So it was like we were all out, we had
dinner and drinks, and we were all like, all right,
let's find somewhere else to go to. And typically when
it's let's find somewhere else to go to, it's we'll
go to another place that's a bar that's open. Usually
there's a place that's called West End that's by our house.
That's this bar that's opened late. They are open to
like two or something like in the morning. Long story short,

(01:30):
this guy says, hey, let's go on the boat. And
I was the only person that said no, I'm not
going on the boat. My wife, who, by the way,
shouldn't even be out probably, but she this was one
of her first nights of getting out and trying to
get back to normal.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
She's like, no, no, I want to go on the boat.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
And I'm like, oh no, we're not going on the boat.
And everybody's looking at me like I can't believe it.
Your wife is finally able to go out, she's able
to have some fun, and you're stopping the fun. You're
the fun. I started getting made fun of and all
this stuff. Let me explain the reason why you never

(02:08):
go on a boat unless it's meant that you're going
to be hanging out with people that you want to
hang out with for a while, because like, no no.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
No, I know where you're going here.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't dislike these people, but I don't like them
enough to say to myself, am I going to go
out and feel comfortable enough to be able to stay
out there for a while? Or the moment we get
out there, are we going to say? Hey, why the
hell are we out here right now? I wish we weren't.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
You're saying it very nicely. Here's the way I think
of a situation like that, because I would have done
the same thing. I do not want to go out
on the boat because if I want to go home
after twenty minutes, I can't.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I am trapped. You're trapped on a boat.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I am trapped on this boat until you decide that
you want to go home. And I don't like that
feeling whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I don't when I want to go home and.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Go to bed, especially if I drinking. I need to
go home and go to bed right now.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, exactly. And the last thing in the world that
I want to do is I want to be on
the boat. And at that moment my wife says, yeah,
I'm not feeling well or I wish I you know,
and I got to go, Hey, who was the guy
that didn't want to be here. I didn't want to
be the I told you just so guy. So I
figured i'd start it right from the beginning. And the

(03:24):
reason I bring this up is this has probably happened
to a few of you where you've gone out with
some friends and a friend drove, or you've gone to
a person's house for a party and you really don't
know the people and you're there at the party and
you don't have the comfortability of saying, Okay, I got
my car, I can sneak out and do an Irish
goodbye stuff like that. I want to ask you guys

(03:46):
a question. Have you ever been stuck somewhere and couldn't
get away a boat an up north lake house cabin
for a weekend with some people that you really didn't
want to hang out with?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
An uber ride?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
How about that with a group of people that not
necessarily do you feel are comfortable enough friends that you
can say, get me the a f out of the
star Because that was the situation. And I know keV
you would probably look at it as you know what, Mojo,
you're just not your curmudgeon, you don't like to have fun.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Hoo Nah, I mean you got your reasons, bro, especially
if the vibe isn't there. This typically happens when I
don't want to go somewhere and I'm dragged somewhere. Yeah,
it's always that type of situation. I've never been where
the vibe is right, my energy is right. I want
to go to the place, and then out of a sudden,
I get there and I want to leave. It's always
when I'm like, all right, I'll go, and then I

(04:36):
get there and it's like, see this is.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Washington to be here in the place. Now I'm stuck here. Yeah,
this happened to me.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
I recently got invited to one of my friends' kids
dance recital, and I was like, I really want to go.
I do want to support and see her kid didn't
Like I didn't know there was twenty different little kids dancing.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, so it was like a five.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Hour thing and she's on stage for maybe five minutes.

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Tell you what, that's a good friend that you would
even think of going to something like that, because you're
inviting somebody who a doesn't even have kids to come
to the thing, and you're right, they should basically say
to you, come to the dance recital at four to ten.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Five out? Yeah? Or about how about this?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Have you ever been have you ever had somebody say
to you, hey, do you want to go to And
they'll be like, we're going to go to and I
hit useless as a bad example, because who doesn't want
to go to a Lion's game, right or a Tiger's
game when they're winning.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you ever have somebody invite you to go.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
To the game and you go to the game and
you're like, they want to stay, Like I don't want
to be here all nine innings, even when the game
is bad. You're looking at your watch and then you think,
and now with uber, you can basically uber yourself out,
Like that's you know at that school, Hold on saying, Taylor,
what do you call it?

Speaker 6 (05:55):
It's called prison, Taylor.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
There's there's nothing worse, Taylor. You know.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
My my feeling towards this one. When you go on
a boat with a group of people, especially people that
you don't necessarily know you're on pontoon prison.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh yeah, yep.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
But it's funny because we live on a lake, so
we actually keep the people in the pontoon prison.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
You're the person that's out there the whole time to
do you hate? Wait? Do you hate it? Taylor?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
When you're out there and there's like an hour or
so later, somebody goes, hey, is there any way you
can drive me to shore?

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, but we.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Don't hate it.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
We don't care.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
It's just yeah, you know is all the more people
have fun with we don't care all.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I kept thinking to myself, we get on this boat,
it's too dark and we're all too drunk to swim
our way back, you know what.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I mean, Like, there's no way I'm doing that. Exactly,
what have you got to go?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
He's fine?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Who's pooping?

Speaker 8 (06:58):
Though?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
On a Friday night? After a night tell you? I
can't just tell my body.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Make sure you don't have to go over the next
three hours.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
If I have to go, I got a boat. I
don't want to be on a boat. Shannon.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Actually is a funny. I'm like, what if you got
to go pee? Channa's like, what if I got to
take a crack? I got to go to the bathroom? Now,
what's up? Demetrius?

Speaker 8 (07:23):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Yeah, So that actually plays right into that. Me and
the wife got invited to a concert out in Chicago
and we got drove down there and at the end
of the concert, my buddy wanted to travel around and
walk the streets and try to find the band and
you know, chase all that craziness. And my wife was
stuck there with no bathroom, happened to pee and we
were stuck there for another hour and a half. She

(07:46):
had to hold her you know for a good minute.
And then conveniently, yeah, conveniently, afterwards, we were driving back
from Chicago and my friend had fell asleep at the
wheel and crashed the cart.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh god, yeah, that's a horrible thing.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I couldn't be on a road trip to Chicago if
I wasn't the one driving, You know what, I don't
be cause you'r you got get to go there and
go home on their terms, not your terms, you know
what I mean. And I ain't mega busting back. What's up, Ashley?

Speaker 7 (08:20):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (08:21):
My friend she had her brother pick her.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Up and go to their cabin three hours away, and
I had to go drive three hours to rescue her.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Wow, you're a good friend. Where was this, by the way,
where was the cabin? What lake or what area was surgeon?

Speaker 7 (08:37):
That?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Going up north to friends places up north? If I've
never been there before, too, and I don't know what
the sleeping arrangements are going to be like is miserable?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
See?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I love going to friends houses that are up north.
My thing is when I wake up on Sunday morning,
I want to go home immediately, and I don't. I
don't like to linger and like do other things and
go to a brewery for lunch before we leave.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I want to go home. Yeah, hold on, Monica was up.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
I was in Pepee prison and I can't believe my
friend did this to me. We were together in the
car waiting on something or someone. I had an eighth
that day, had a can of pop. I had to
go to the bathroom so bad, and she would not
leave what we were doing to take me to go
to the bathroom. I thought I was going to pee
my pants in her car.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's the word. It's worse.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Just say no longer friends, right.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
By the way, cans of pop are instantly going right
through me these days. For some reason, I drink a
can of pop, Boom, I'm peeing it in five seconds.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
What's up, Monica, I'm sorry, not Monica. Becca.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Hey, good morning, gay morning.

Speaker 7 (09:44):
I have a small business and I was working an
event and usually I have this friend that helps me
with that event, and she invited a friend from high
school that I no longer get along with, and it
was really awkward and they just like stood at my
station the entire time, and so it was like I

(10:05):
couldn't get away because I still had to like sell
my product and I was just kind of like they
were talking about my product like in front of me,
but not talking to me. So it was just like
I was like, get me out of here.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I stilled to make.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
Money, and I like couldn't just like abandon my station,
and it was it was miserable.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It's interesting when I when I was picking you up
and you were talking about it at work events.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know what this is like?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
When Tony Trevado says to us, hey, let's have a
station outing.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's what it's like prison, isn't it is? Especially you
know loves Davis. I'm telling you, let's have a.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Team building, and I'm like, please don't say it, Please
don't let's do It's no building.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
There's no building being done in this team. Which a
part of this team? What's up? Dustin? How you doing her?
What's up?

Speaker 6 (10:57):
So I had a buddy going on the boat with
me and you go number two. We were out there
for a couple of hours and it's a four mile
ride back.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
And I told him now, just getting in the water,
I tied.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
A rope to him.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
I had him go out about twenty eight and I
had him sent a torpedo.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh my god, Yeah, it was it floating along. Could
you see him floating right next time?

Speaker 7 (11:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
He was fired enough away.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
I just kind of pulled him back in when he
gave me.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
The thumbs up here, how did he clean himself? Just
swishing in the water.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
Ah, that's what I think.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
So good old Lake Erie water.

Speaker 2 (11:31):

Paul Corvino and Tony and Jeff Luckoff back in the day.
It was Freedom Boat Club took us out there. We
were out there in the middle. Jay Towers looks at
me and goes, I think we're like in Gilligan's Island right.
He looked at me and he goes, when are we
going back? I go, I don't think we're ever going back.

Speaker 2 (11:53):

I want to go home. That's all I want to do.
