Episode Transcript

(00:05):
They're Mojo. No good is Mikethere? Mike, Mike, Mike.

(00:26):
We're gonna do a more Mojo podcasttoday. So we got a couple of
things through what do you bring up? I was just telling these guys,
I cannot wait till we one dayget a chance to finally move into a
studio that is working. We complainall the time about how bad our equipment
is, how bad the studios are. I saw today that our engineer was

(00:49):
showing people around, and I heardthe rumor that they might be people that
want this building or do something inthis building. And I'm thinking to myself,
God, I hope they don't listento the station with us talking about
how how shitty this place is.It's gonna it would be a gut job
though. Yeah, nobody wants anyof these studios or anything. You know
what, whoever does take over thisbuilding. Basically you've got walls and a

(01:12):
roof. That's what you got,and everything else. And yeah, maybe
a couple of the floor so acouple of working doors. Yeah. I
was looking at this study that wasdone and they were talking about and I
get this sense that a lot ofpeople are feeling this way. They're talking
about how the average American hasn't triedanything new in the last five months.

(01:36):
Of what I mean new. Theyhaven't watched a new television show, they
haven't gone to eat at a newrestaurant, they haven't done something completely out
of the norm that they normally do. They take the same route to and
from work or school. We've allbecome creatures of habits. And they said,
out of the two thousand people polledthat fifty six percent of the Americans

(02:00):
identify as a creature of habit.They don't they don't step out of their
box. That's a fact. Ijust I'm literally ordered in Chippotle right now.
How many times a week? Thisis probably and y'all know how to
order out or two bowls at atime, so this will probably be like
my fourth bowl. In the past, I'd say five days you eat two

(02:22):
bowls at once. Well, I'lleat one bowl and then I'll probably have
the other one for dinner because I'llprobably eat this one as soon as I
get home. That is wild,And I have Chipotle in my fridge right
now. I'm absolutely a creature ofhabit. But I feel like I've scaled
back recently and I'm only watching youguys get ready to gasp? One television
show, which one? I'm watchingBig Brother, And as soon as it's

(02:45):
over, I do love big Iwant to be on Big Brother so bad
it's not even funny. But oncethis is over, like I canceled most
of my subscription services, and I'mlike, yeah done. Yeah, I
feel that son been in a newplace. You should be out walking around
seeing what's going on. I know, but you can. But she lives

(03:05):
in a city where she can walkfrom place to place warm yesterday it was
yesterday. Yeah, not only that, but like, is anybody else frustrated
with how expensive they've all gotten andthere's not really good content on them anymore?
Well, because of this strike.That's the reason why. Well,
I mean, I will say,like, like I mentioned before, I've
started watching Scandal. I think that'sincredible. I think Apple TV has some

(03:30):
really good shows, but they doa terrible job of marketing. Yes,
yes, I think it's some likewhere I've been going for new stuff lately.
I canceled everything, but I thinkthat go back to Chipotle for a
second. I think that Chipotle everyday is not good for you. Like,
this is not you're you know,the guy from subway with or supersize

(03:54):
me. You're not, You're not, You're not the guy that's gonna like.
I don't think it's good to haveall those beans and rice and you
don't even eat meat, so yourprotein has to come from beans, right?
But why why? Why not?Why don't you think rice and beans
and sofritas and cheese and lettuce youcan get it in a salad a burrito
bowl. Well, first and foremost, more than anything, is you eat

(04:16):
the same thing all the time.It's probably not good for your system.
Your system probably needs to to maybebe cleaned out. You probably got like
black beans or pinto beans stuck onyour colon somewhere. I would, honestly,
how do you get it? Likeit's a colonic? They stick a
tube up your butt. Yeah.I've always been really like I've had animals
before, like hospital grade enemas,because I've had some issues with my stomach.

(04:40):
But I've always been interested in Idid it? You did? Yeah?
I did a colonic once with GeorgeMcFly, who I used to be
an intern. You feel you boughtme that as a gift, Like,
did you feel not? No,it was weird went his aunt was the
one that did it for me.My god, so he went to his
aunt's house. She stuck the yeahstuck. It was basic. It was

(05:05):
basically like, uh, you know, flushing out your system from the outside
in. Do you get to keepit? Uh? You know, you
don't keep it, but she shows. It's kind of like how they show
you if you've ever gotten a facialbefore. They'll show you the dirty things
that they sucked, and it willbe like you see blackheads floating around.
It's kind of similar to that yousee little duty and stuff. Kind of

(05:29):
it was. I was in acontainer like it goes into a you know,
like a I don't like what theheck like a peat like a picture
or something like that. Yeah.Interesting. The other day the other thing
I want to talk about real quickwith Chipotle and you and I had an
argument on text about this might bethe worst service ever at all Chipotles Like,
I go into Chipotle and the peoplethat work there. We'll give you

(05:51):
an example. I went to theone in Northville yesterday. I walked inside
and I said to the to thegirl at Chipotle, Mike said, right,
say, he's not getting any audio. He's not getting any audio.
Oh hold on, I'll tell thestory while I'm pushing the audio up her.
The person at Chipotle, I walkup there and I said, yes,

(06:13):
can I have hold on? Sonof a bitch? Where's my hold
on? Maybe we should just talkabout positive Chipotle stories because I have so
many? Are making some right?Yeah, I don't know what he's talking
about. Okay, Mike, you'reon. You can hear us now,

(06:36):
right, Mike? What is happening? Mike? Can you hear us?
All right? Okay? So soI go to Chipole. I walk up
to the counter and I say tothe uh the girl I go. She
goes, can I take your order? Like? That's how That's what it's

(06:58):
like, and it's got attitude rightoff the bat, And I said,
Hi, can I get three hardshell tacos? And she goes and looks
and I see, you can seein front of myself too, there's just
sauce shells and then the big burritoand she goes, we don't have any
I go, do you have anylike anywhere around here? Because I have
a gluten analogy and those are theonly ones that I can actually eat.

(07:21):
And she goes, I don't knowhow that's it. We have any hearts
shell tacos. This is how itis all the time. Every fucking Chipotle
I go to, I swear toGod, you don't order hard shell tacos?
Do you? I order shell tacos? She goes, we have any
heart shell tacos? The girl goes, I don't think so. Now,
we don't have any heart shell tacoOkay, let me say this to you.

(07:42):
If I were to go to Chickfil A and I said to Chick
fil A, hey, do youhave like a gluten free roll? The
girl would go, hold on,let me go look for it. She
would go look for it and bekind about the whole thing, and then
she would come back and go,oh, we don't have any gluten free
rolls. Let me do this foryou. I'm gonna give you a sandwich
with no gluten free bread and nobread at all, and I'm not gonna

(08:07):
charge you for it because we don'thave the thing. They do something all
the time to make you feel rightthere, we're at Chipotle. They do
everything they can to tell you thatthat fucking place is a horrible place to
work. Okay. The defense bringsforth its first witness and Here's what I
will tell you, sir. Youare comparing apples to bicycles. Yeah,

(08:28):
Chick fil A might be happy becausethey are a weird little cult of sometimes
chewy, rubbery nuggets. Who thefuck ones those we're talking about. Goddamn
Chipotle, bitch. You could slapme in the face and hit me with
a hot spatula and I said,and I would still say, excuse me,

(08:48):
excuse me. I would still say, can I please have an extra
large side of guac? And theycould throw it in my face and I
would just say thank you. They'llgive you a brown guac that's been sitting
there all day, and the girldoesn't give a shit about I'm sorry,
I hate to say it. Ilike Chipotle. The problem with Chipotle is
their management team needs to work harderto get the people that work there to

(09:09):
be happier. Either pay them morewhatever. Chick fil A has got to
be paying their people five dollars morean hour or something, as their employees
thirteen sixteen an hour? How muchdoes Chipotle pay? Googled it once he
started this thing. Hold on,let's see Chipotle three section four mm ooh

(09:35):
not at u fifteen dollars an hour. So here's my thoughts. I think
that's wrong. Then I do too. Here's my thoughts. Chipotle is Cumulus
Radio and Chick fil A is iHeartRadio? Like the people that work with Cumulus
all look like they're sad. Thepeople that work at iHeart Radio all are
like some sad, some happy.You know what I mean? I are

(09:56):
happy. Listen. I don't toyour point. I haven't frequented many Chipotles,
especially like in the past five orso years that I've been Where do
you go? Where's your one thatyou go to? I don't remember.
I've been to one in the airport. I've been to the one in La
Listen. I've had Chick fil a. Great times at Chick fil A.
I've had amazing times at chipol Chipoledo you go to I've gone to the

(10:20):
one. I think it's tim AllenEvergreen. I've been to that. I
used to go to that one oflocks. I used to live over there
in Southfield. Now I go toone on like fourteen and Haggerty. No
it's not, for there's nothing onHaggerdy. I google the h there is,
I promise you fourteen and Haggardy.I lived there there's I literally just
ordered it. We're on fourteen andHaggarty. I live right by there,
and so there's one on Maple andOrchard Lake. You know, you know

(10:43):
what there is? Ye Haggerty isliterally across the street where they're building that
new little strip mall area they did. They just open it there. Well,
it's been open for like two months. All right, I'm going there
and I am going to walk in. And when I walk in, I'm
gonna say, is there a guythat comes in here? And yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Igo through, I go through the chipotlane.

(11:03):
Yeah, the chippotlin is what's achippotlein d Only some Chipotles have them?
And I swear to God when Iwas there was you have to order.
But here's the thing. There isone in order on in Toledo,
and let me tell you, it'stwenty two minutes away there. I passed
four other Chipotle with the Chipotlein's.It's one in Royal Lo too, the

(11:30):
one that's in Royalo the Imagine Theater. Oh yeah, they have a chipotline.
You order a head through the pickyour time. Yes, okay,
so you have to order a heador can you order in that lane you
have to order. Yeah, I'venever ordered in the lane. All right,
hold on a second, I'm lookingto see where this is. I'm
going there today. Wow, theydid open a new they opened up a

(11:52):
new one. Can I be honest, Mojo? Yeah, I do like
chiple I do love me some deliciouschicken. I do love Chipotlet. I
love both. But can I tellyou what my genuine most favorite thing in
the entire world is, Well,yes, but when somebody at Chick fil
A says my pleasure aggressively at you, it is fucking hysterical because they have

(12:13):
to say my pleasure to everything.Yes, they can't say you're welcome,
they say my pleasure. Wow,you're like, hey, thanks forgetting that,
Like really, my pleasure. It'salways my pleasure. And when they
are snippy, they're like, mypleasure. And it's so funny. This
is the game that I play withTrader Joe's because they're the happiest people on
Earth. I swear they all knowJesus, like very very well or something.
But they have to compliment something thatyou buy, and sometimes you can

(12:35):
tell they don't really feel like complimentinganything. And they're like those carrots are
very very orange. That's all youthought of, that's all go today.
I always wait for what are theygoing to play a game with myself?
What are they going to compliment outof my cart today? All right,
so here's the next one ready,This is the next thing I wanted to
bring up. A new study hasfound that men are less eager and likely

(13:01):
to share negative information than women are. So this is according to a study
that was done by Carnegie Mellon University. It's gotta be good, right they
got a name like Carnegie Mellon.They suggest that due to a greater concern
among men over how others will seethem, men are less likely to get

(13:22):
negative on something. By the way, you'd never notice with me just a
couple of minutes ago and what mythoughts were about going to Chipotle. Where
women don't care what another person thinksof them, they'll tell you right away
if they hate something or not inthat wild So that's true. They're negative
nancies. They're more negative than guysare. I just feel like we do

(13:45):
these like dating topics all the timeright where it's like you're actually more compatible
with people that hate the same thingsas you than people that like the same
things as you and I love bondingwith people over bitching about stuff. So
you think it's more passion. Yeah, you relate to people more if they
bitch, you bond. You getcloser to them if they're bitching about it,
if I agree with their bitch.So it's a different level of passion

(14:09):
that's associated with it. Desire,love company, it's that. It's that,
do you so you don't feel likeyou can get as close to somebody
if they're just oh I love this, Oh I love this. You think
that, Well, that's the sciencesays We've talked about it before on the
show. It'll say like people whohate the same things have stronger relationships than
people who only like the same thing. Okay, like it takes more muscles

(14:30):
to frown than it does to smile. Sure does. I just said that
the thing that's interesting you did toyour daughter? Yeah, it really really
did. I've never heard that before. That's cool. Yeah, Can I
can I say that's your medicine questionof the day? Can I say this
about Megan? We talked about thison the show today. Megan seems a
lot happier. But it's not fromthis move. It's been since you started

(14:54):
going to that therapist that you goto. Oh why do you look so
terrified? Like, no, Idon't want to be happier. This is
so funny that you said this.Oh my god, I'm glad you just
said that. So I had therapylast night. And are you talking on
with your therapists? Oh my god, No, okay, sorry, I
just I mean that sounds I hopehe doesn't listen to this. That sounds

(15:22):
so disrespectful because like I'm like,truly is changing my No, but I
will say, uh, it wasreally funny. We're going through all these
worksheets. I do homework every therapysession. Does your therapist ever send you
with actual, like physical homework.He actually sends me emails of things after
I get done, Like he doesn'tgive it to me there. They'll say,

(15:45):
I'm going to send you a fewthings and I want you to take
a look at them, and someof them require me writing some answers down,
and then he says before my nextsession, then he wants me to
talk to him, gives me.It feels like I'm back in grade school
again. He'll give me worksheets todo and then I have to present them
at the beginning of therapy. It'sproof that I've done them. But we
were going over one of the sheetsand kind of joking. And it's so

(16:06):
funny, Shannon that you said whathappens if you're happy? Because I literally
brought that up last night. Iwas like, who am I? If
I am a happy person? That'snot right. That can't be me.
But not to get too deeper,too like hard left turn here. I
think I used to be the happiestperson I knew a long time ago,

(16:26):
and I think I lost myself,and I think I've slowly been finding myself
again. It's just been fun.That's good, that's exciting, it's stressful,
it's more. It's way more vulnerablethan I've ever been. I'm so
like I cry at the drop ofa hat now all the time, which
I hate. I love not crying. But do you feel like do you
feel like you're leaning more into thisnew emotion at your experience or do you

(16:48):
feel like you're pulling away from Ohmy god, I pay a guy to
ak. I think it's both.I think my natural reaction is to pull
away from it. I think anybodywho's built up a defensis and like mere
natural reaction is to pull away fromit. But I'm trying to confront my
natural reactions of defense mechanisms to bea more vulnerable and open person. Can

(17:11):
I tell you what's interesting? Yousay that now you cry more, that
you're actually happier than you did whenyou were upset because your emotions that you
had back. You know, beforeyou started going to therapists and started working
through some things, you're you werewhat you were just numb. It's just
easier to go through life with certainexpectations. It's easier to go through life

(17:37):
and say, bad things are goingto happen, expect it and deal with
it. I'm just live with it. Then be happy and enjoying something and
letting something hurt you. I loveit easier to just be. I love
that you, that you're that you'refeeling this way. You deserve it and
that's awesome. And now who thehell am I going to? Really?

(18:00):
Don't get me wrong, I havealways loved a good bitch session, but
I think a lot of it hasbeen rediscovering how fun my job has been,
because I think my job turns meinto that person, and I'm trying
to fight against it. So It'sbeen an interesting kind of like addressing everything
that's really brought me to this point, and then I'm still living in that

(18:22):
same scenario. Well it's kind ofa bit different. Yes, very much,
so very much. So can Isay this because you have your therapist,
I feel like Kevin has also mademe come in in the morning when
I come in and go, ohfuck, I'm in a bad mood.
I got to change my mood becausethis guy is so upbeat all the time.

(18:44):
M hmm. And I don't knowif this is something Channing that you
have experienced. Agree with having Meganin the studio and keV keV, since
you've joined the show, it isnot possible to be in a shitty mood
with you in the studio. It'sto a parent if you are right,
yeah, Like if you're in abad mood, you notice it right away.
Like even if I'm like I'm like, oh, I have to do
another fan will read and Kev's like, come on, you're gonna fucking go

(19:07):
there, and I'm like, allright, I can do this. Yeah
no. But I think that's oneof the benefits to being up here in
the studio with you guys, islike I'm a little overwhelmed with everything going
on right now, lots of newschanges, and I definitely felt, especially
today during the show, there weremoments where I was like just rollercoastering,

(19:30):
like super overwhelmed. Had a todo list of everything I needed to do
after the show today. How thefuck am I gonna get it all done?
There's a million things on my personalto do list, my work to
do list, whatever. And thenbeing like, i have a really fucking
awesome job, and I'm sitting herein my pajamas, joking with my friends,
singing along, and like then I'mlike, Okay, things are great.
And then you look back down andyou're like, oh my god,
like it just fell all over theplace. But I think if I was

(19:52):
sitting in my studio back in Toledoalone, it would have just compiled and
compiled, and I would have likespiraled down. Versus having all of you
in this room to lock eyes withand laugh with and like pull each other
up has been monumentally different in mylife. That's good. I'm here to
announce that I'm going to move toToledo, and tak means I will say

(20:15):
the piece acquired of having your ownstudio that you could literally leave a disaster
and walk back tomorrow and be like, nobody's gonna say it was great.
I mentioned at the beginning of thispodcast, I can't wait for my new
studio. I found my new studio. We're going to be moving down there.
Everything works there, it works well. You get that that card in

(20:36):
the morning. Yeah. By theway, by the way, when we
move to our new studio, ournew building, you will be close to
it because you're moving not that farfrom there. Will will you be walking
to work? I've thought about it. Yeah, I think I will.
I'll try to at least wait thatnice hour time. No one, I'm

(20:56):
less than a mile. Yeah,but Megan, four forty five in the
morning, you can't walk. Iwould probably, you know, I would
do or drag your bike. Iwould. I would bird there and yeah,
okay, yeah I wouldn't. Iwouldn't walk to work if I lived
a block away. I live twoblocks from the station, and I walked.

(21:22):
Do you know that Fred from theFred Show lives He lives in a
high rise right across the street fromwhere his office building is the high rise
that that's in, and it takeshim longer to walk in the parking garage
to go to his car, andthen the parking garage to get out of
his car and go into the station. Then it would if he just took
the elevator all the way down tohis lobby, walked across the street and

(21:42):
went. But his thing is thathe doesn't want to do is he says,
you never know what the weather's goingto be. Alex, come on, b
