I know it'll go around us.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Tomorrow is supposed to be much cooler. It's going to
only be sixty and it's actually the overnight low it's
going to be thirty eight. It's gonna be crazy. We're
gonna go from eighty degrees eighty two degrees possibly for
a record high, to thirty nine degrees, which meanszy bad
tornadoes in between. No, they say no tornadoes here. They
say it's moving south of US. Maybe Toledo possibly could
get some of them.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
There's no way that the temperature can change that much
without a tourney.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
They're saying hail possibly so in high winds. This is
a day, though, that you got to finish yard work
or any of the stuff that you got going on,
because I mean, if you're looking for a day to
do it, you got to do it. Any of you
guys doing yard work around the house and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
We started, we started to do outside stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
But have you ever looked at a project, a house project,
and gone, we.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Can do that. I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (00:59):

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Mulch the front and backyard.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
We're gonna go to home depot, We're gonna load up
his Dodge ram with I don't even know how many
bags of multi bought, but he didn't buy enough because
I know he was planning on going back. And we
had Lucy helping us and Smith helping us this weekend.
And you guys know, like I have, I have a
pretty decent sized yard, so it's a lot to do.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
That's a project.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
It is a project that I will be very frank about. Normally,
in the past, before I got married and it was
just me living there, I paid a guy to come
and do it because I was not about to do
that myself. Well, this year, I'm like, we're not. We
are saving money, we are not paying for this.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
We're gonna do it. No, we are going to do
it ourself.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Why is sad? Now you got the man there, You're
making the man get get behind a world barrow.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Huh. But all of us were doing it, Okay, all
of us were gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Help out three hours in West looks at me and
he's like, I'm done. Yeah, we are done.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Get on the neighborhood facebook page, and I'm fucky find
a kid to come spread the rest of the mault.
So as of today, this beautiful day, there are probably
still I don't know thirty bags of mult just carefully
placed around the yard, but they.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Have not been opened or dumped and spread.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's funny you just say the word we could have
way smell smells like smells like manure. Yeah, you love
the smell of them, and newers do. I My dad
is a job. I don't know. I first off, I
don't believe that this is like it was when we
were growing up, where it was the kid in the neighborhood.
There's no kids in neighborhoods that we'll do this for

(02:50):
money there.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, there are really groups of kids that get together
and they start these landcaping businesses and they're making banks.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Where you asked Josiah, hey, will you go out there
and read the malts, that'd be like, no, there's a
good game on video game, on.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
A couple of things. Not the same landscaping that used
to happen back in the day. Back in the day,
it was a straight line, a few bushes. Now, y'all
think that you're gonna be on HGTV and you're on
the cover of a magazine Home Guarden magazine, y'all have crazy.
It looks beautiful. It's a lot of work. B How
much you gotta pay a kid to multi yard? How
much you gonna pay him?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, if I was going to pay a kid to
multily the yard, i'd pay him an hourly rate of Well,
I'd be careful because we might have a sandbagger, and
I don't want a kid that all of a sudden
goes how much are gonna pay me? And I say
twenty five bucks an hour? And the kid yeah, twenty
eight hours.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, myself, kicks are done in like three hours. Twenty
bucks an hour?

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Sixty bucks?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
What is a kick? Hi about sixty bucks? No, I
would probably give him. I would say to him, here's
your task. I will give you at the end of
this project. I will give you a couple of hundred
bucks if you'd go, if you go do this whole thing,
give him aw hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay, So that's the only that's worth a couple of
hundred bucks. We're giving this a couple hundred bucks because
that's what he asked for. I was giving him what
he asked.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, he came over yesterday during the show, actually looked
at our yard, gave me a price, and I was
like done. I'm not going to say gave me a price.
I was like done, because we want to shut up
and a couple of hundred No. I said, it's a
couple hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, a couple gave you a price.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And he wrote to me cash is King by I
don't know. Somebody gave me his name. I don't know,
so he's like a kid. I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
You're going to hire a time.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
My friend moved him.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh my said he did her yard. I said, okay, fine.
She gave me his phone number.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I texted him.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
He walked over to my house, looked at the house,
gave me a number, and he said, I'm going to
come on Thursday, cash is King.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I said, okay, I'm done. I'll do it for twenty best.
I'm going to do it. You're not you you have
been to my house. You are not.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Let me tell you something. At first, it was fun,
even Lucy was into it. Mom, take my picture, and
she's like throwing the peace signs, you know, in the mall.
And truly, after hour three, I was the gram is
overfed up?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Can I tell you something. I'm going to tell you something.
It's uh. You know, the greatest tool I have in
my house is my wallet. That's my greatest tool. I
don't like doing any of these things. There's no way I.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Love and appreciate about Wes. He loves doing stuff around
the house. That is his thing. We need paint, he's
doing it. We need we need, you know, in a
new electrical out. He loves doing all of that stuff
and getting his hands dirty, and that's what he's always done.
So I was even surprised when he looked at me
and was like I quit.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
The funny thing is that's how our boss, Tony is.
Tony does all the handy stuff himself. The only problem
is his wife hasn't been able to live in their
master bedroom for about three years because he's still working
on it.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Because this.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Is Saturday or Sunday.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
We started the malt and then I'm looking at my
calendar for the week both and going when and when
are we gonna get back to this.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm gone this weekend. It's not happening, Robert, what's up.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's Mojo in the Morning.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
So I think paying by hour is like one of
the stupidest things for like a task specific job. Yeah,
let's say that you hire me to do Mojo in
the morning logo. I can take three months or can
I give you a really good logo in ten minutes?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, that's true. That's true. Again, just pay it paid
for the actual task. Like the big thing I actually
say to people, like I always say to people, Hey,
here's the deal. I'll give you set fee of this,
but if you get it done and it looks great
by this, I'll throw a bonus in there. Because I'm
going to tell you, if you incentivize somebody to do anything,

(06:45):
you incentivize me. I actually will tell you that. I
think that that's what those app services should do. And
I know they say two dollars to come right to
you the dash fast or whatever the heck it is,
it's bs. I believe what they should do is you
should be able to contact that driver specifically and you
should say to him, hey, if you don't spill my Starbucks,

(07:06):
because they ninety people at the time spilled the star
You don't spill my Starbucks, and it gets to me
in fast time, there might be an extra dollar in therefore,
you know how you know?

Speaker 5 (07:16):
A couple come over here, let me give you some quarters.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
They're shy.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I had an insta cart driver who went to Costco
for me, and they they they bought a bunch of
stuff at Costco. When the guy delivered it to my house,
this is no joke. He rang the doorbell and I
had it, so he's supposed to just leave it at
my door. He rang the doorbell and said, I want
to help you put it away because it was some
waters and things like. That guy helped me put it away.

(07:48):
Threw an extra twenty in there for him in your house.
He put it in my my grass.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I feel like moj sack of sa coins by his front.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
You find one person that has done work for me
that didn't think I overpaid them or I paid them
I do. I take care of these guys. I take
care of them because I don't want to do this crap.
What's that baron? How you doing?

Speaker 8 (08:17):
Hello?

Speaker 6 (08:19):
I just wanted to comment. I actually moved into my
house a few years back. I'm single. I do all
my own yard work. I try not to pay anybody
to do anything. I actually invested in rocks, and ever
since then, I do have to spray for weeds like
that sucks. That's a never ending battle, but it's really

(08:39):
easy to maintain. And then this weekend I actually learned
how to cement fix my own porch chops. Yes, I
was really nervous doing it. And if you call around
and get quotes, it's anywhere from seven hundred to fifteen
hundred dollars. And I was like, I don't know. Oh,

(09:00):
I mean, yes, at some point I'll get new stuffs
when they're super cracked and you know, awful. But for
the time being, I didn't need to do that. I
just needed to like repair us, you know, like a
small patch. And I was nervous, but I went to
Lows and I spent seventy dollars. I went home. I
spent a few days, you know, looking at multiple videos

(09:24):
learning thinking about it, and then I just I just
was like, you know what, I'm just gonna get up
and do.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's cool.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
And I did it and it took me like two
hours and I'm done.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Would you like to spread molts around Channel's house for
less than two hundred dollars. I'm trying to see if
I can find you somebody to anisa. What's up? That's
Mojo on the morning?

Speaker 6 (09:43):
I mean, good morning you London?

Speaker 9 (09:47):
About incentives or bribe me like dr esh drivers. And
before I had a comic five dogs, and I put
a comment in my note that said basically, if they
didn't did not get my dogs a bark, I would tip.
And more so I had like videos of that, like
Tip telling my door music down.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh my god, that's great. It's hilarious that you should
start an Instagram page of those videos. That's hysterical. I
love that. That is a great idea. Erica, what's up
it's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 8 (10:18):
Hi guys, how are you good?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (10:22):
So about maybe fifteen years ago, my husband lost his
job and so he had all this time on his hands.
He wanted to remodel our kitchen. He has done a
little bit of work every few years, but it is
still in progress. We still need a new floor, we
still need backslash, we still need a new stove. You

(10:46):
can still need paint.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
You can't entertain it all, can you?

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Well, we do, but it's just whatever.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
At this point.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
Everybody that comes over knows, you know what.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I think everybody's got the the half honeydew thing like
where they do only half of it because they got
a regular job. That's the problem with trying to save
money on this stuff is you got to have patience.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, you can get started and get a good chunk
of it done.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
But and in this case, we have a senior graduating,
which means we're going to have a grad pool.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, that's why I said we got you actually have
to get.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
It done, you know. That's that's when Holmes look the
nicest in my neighborhood is when their kids graduated from
high school. As they're getting ready for that thing. My
winter sat is gone. Now I just have spring rolls.
Is mojo in the morning.
