Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. It is the Slightly Messy Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
My name is Mike, formerly from Mojo in the Morning,
now on the B ninety three Morning Show. But this
is heard on the Mojo in the Morning platform, also
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get podcasts, just
search more Mojo in the last couple of weeks, and
I'm going to do this every week till I get
the entire show. I've decided to bring on a new
cast member from the Mojo in the Morning Show. And
(00:25):
last week we had Lydia, the week before that we
had Zachary, and this week is somebody I met. I
don't know if she remembers when we met, but we met.
We met at a Saint Patti's Day party. On with
the Slightly Messy Podcast. The social media rock star for
the Mojo in the Morning Show. She also does many
(00:46):
other things for Channel nine to five to five and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Bianca. How are you, Bianca?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hey? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm good, So, Bianca. Do you remember the first time
we met?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah? I think we're all about to hit like three
of knowing each other. I remember the first thing I
ever said to you when I met you, which I
probably should never do this.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was like, I was like, are you killed?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That's one hundred percent of the first thing that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I just turned around and asked that. I even like
ask your name or anything. I was just like, are
you killed in and you're like no.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, it's like not not but but uh that was
the that was Yeah, that was the first sentence that
was ever said in Yeah, I remembered it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I was on promo all the time, so I wasn't
even like on the show or anything. I was just
doing like the promo stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So okay, let's get crazy. Go ahead, now we got
a delay. That's it. That's the thing here. Sorry for
that about Taddy Cut. What were you gonna say?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Oh, I was gonna say, it's just like, it's crazy
how far I came like three years ago. It's pretty
much when I went and everyone on the show and
now it's like my life, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So that was my next question, is you started in
radio doing promo? Was this uh always something you wanted
to do or did you were you in school? I
know you went to a Michigan State In the Michigan.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
State, Yeah, so I went to school for marketing and
business and sports management. That's kind of the route I
wanted to go in. I knew I always wanted to
do like entertainment, but I honestly did not even know
that radio was an option. So I applied on the
promo team like December twenty twenty two, just like I
thought it was a marketing internship, honestly. So then I
(02:26):
went to the interview and I was like, okay, bet
a marketing internship for the summer whatever. And I never
left and it was not an internship whatsoever. It's more
just like working on the street. So I kind of
got campfish, but it was a bucking and these guys, honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And you know what you got in and they immediately
were like she's a rock star, Like you were amazing
at promo, and then you've already started to work your
way up, which is like, if you're getting into radio,
that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You gotta get your foot in the door. Figure out
what you want to do.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What is the ultimate goal here are you going? I know,
obviously you're rocking with the show and you're doing all
the social media. What is the ultimate goal for radio?
Are you gonna stick with this? Do you want to
move on to something else.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So, honestly, I love it right now, and when I
look back, like things I've always wanted to do. It's
talking to people, being if on a microphone. I love
being on a microphone and just doing social media too.
So I think I'm kind of doing everything that I
love right now. Maybe when my time at Mojo in
the morning is done, either I would have like my
own show, or I would go out and do like
(03:24):
national iHeart radio events or just something where I can
still be like a face and a host and entertain people.
I don't know what that would look like, but some
people I kind of look up to is like EJ.
He does a whole bunch of different stations. I think
what he does is pretty cool. So yeah, I don't
really know. I actually never really knew what my next
step was going to be, but I kind of just
(03:45):
let God in the world do his thing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Honestly, I love that, absolutely love it. Did I see that?
You also you also sing is that something you're looking
to get?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So I like that is like a dream dream goal.
I know this looks super hard and that's like a
crazy wild thing, But yeah, I wrote a couple of songs.
I'm like, actually the process of writing another one right now.
But it's like a little hobby and like fun thing
I do. But yeah, I dropped. I dropped like my
very first song ever last year. But I more wrote
it so of kind of like what's it called, like
(04:18):
a contribution? Not a contribution? What is it called? Like
I'm dedication, like a dedication to my dad. So I
wrote a talk about my dad and like his life
from moving from here from Iraq and just kind of
the relationship that we have together. So I think that
was really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Where can people find this if they're looking to listen
to some of the music on everything.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's on iHeart radio, apps, on app music, Spotify, like
literally all platforms. I dropped it on everything. It was
really cool to release that because it kind of explained
all the emotions I shared with my dad and the
way I feel towards him. Because especially in like a
foreign house, we don't really explain our feelings or we
(05:02):
don't really show our emotions of feelings that much, so
I always kind of just biled it up. I never
really talked to him. If we talk, it's more just
like work and things how's your day going. It's never
like deeper than that, which I feel like it should be,
especially in a family, but in the cultural mindset, it's
never really liked that. So I kind of wrote all
my feelings and everything i'd ever I'd always wanted to
(05:23):
tell him, but I was kind of nervous to or
just didn't feel right too, which things really wrong. But
that's just kind of how it went.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't think so. I think that's I.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Wrote it for him.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think that's where true inspiration comes from. I feel like,
is is like real life and stuff like that. And
how did your dad take it? When did he listen
to it? I'm assuming he did, right.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, he did so. I actually I recorded his reaction
to It's kind of funny he I played with my
mom and my dad at the same time, and I
didn't tell him what I was doing. I was like,
I did this really cool thing at work today. I
want to show you, like I want to show you
a crazy thing. And it was a song, yeah, and
my mom's balling her eyes out, tissues everywhere all but
(06:03):
my dad he just sat there and you could tell
like he wanted to ballsize out too, but he like
kept it all in. You see some tears falling down,
but he didn't let it out. And my mom was
crying and I was like, guys, it's not sad, and
my dad's like, no, no, it's the snowshoon. He try
it all the n't try to get taint of the notion.
(06:27):
And I'm like, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Let it out, dad, let it out.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like, bro, let me see you cry for one for real.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You know what I think about it?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Like my daughter, I'd like to say, I kind of
grew up the same way. I grew up in a
like I got a split family. So like my dad
is Hispanic and my mom is super white, so like
it was too so I was.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Too so my dad's killed me and my mom's really white.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, So, but I kind of grew up in like
the same environment where like feelings weren't like a big
deal or like talked about not they're they're a big deal,
but they weren't like expressed by eight needs.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But like I found today and I don't know if
you're like this too that I'm like, I'm more emotional
because I didn't have any of that growing up.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, no, for sure. I feel like now I'm always
I don't know. I still don't show my emotions really
much towards them, but with other people, my left, my
close friends, like I know Lydia. You guys interviewed her
last week, like I'm always crying to her or like
my boyfriend now, like that's where the emotions come out. Yeah,
I was a man now?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Did not know that?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah? Well I do. It's crazy. He's uh, he's nineteen
though he's a he's a young.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And he's a howl.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Are you that's that's that's I'm twenty three?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh jeez, that's crazy. Yeah, so did you? Did you? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I back into the your huge age gap with your boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
H but I know what did you post?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
My parents were not happy with that. Neither were his.
They're like, you guys should not be dating. He's way
too young for you. My mom is like, you want
to get married soon, you want to have kids soon?
But I was like, actually no, I don't. It's like
I actually think it's a blessing that he's done than
me because I'm not rushed to get married.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, is he Caldan?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah he is, but he acts he acts Americans, so
he's not as culture. He's culture, but he's not as boter.
I guess we call him voters that are really foreign.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
What does that mean? Because for people in West Michigan,
they don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, So voters, voter Keldans are people. We call them
voters because they pretty much act like they just got
off the boat Iraq. You're coming to here, right, So
we call them voters because they actually they just go
off the boat. Their acting super sick. They have really
cultural traditions. But if you're like whitewashed, I'm whitewashed. I
(08:46):
don't really speak kel Dan. I still have the values
and like traditions I follow, but I'm more Americanized, you know,
so perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So if they want to see, I'm assuming you posted
the video of your dad's reaction, what is your like
Instagram or TikTok or wherever you posted that, that's my TikTok.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So it's Bianca Kajy's. That's the last thing media handles. Yeah,
so it's my full first name, last name. So yeah,
which comes to a conversation about I need a better
radio name, Like I need a good radio name what
do you want it to be? Sometimes I don't know.
I think about it all sometimes. I know here in
Detroit it's like a little thing. People call me Kagib,
(09:28):
but when you saw my last name, it doesn't sound
like Kagi all the time. So I kind of wanted
just like an easier name for people to find me
or just recognize my name, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So, yes, that's I know exactly what you mean. Is
your last name pronounced Kagi?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, but it doesn't look like that when you're reading it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, But this is an interesting, uh kind of way
we're gonna go with this because not only I think
it's a great idea to come up with a with
a radio name or use your name or whatever, but
there is a something that happened like two weeks ago.
There's a law firm in your in the Southfield area
called Kazi something law firm, right, Yeah, is that your family?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
No, it's not. But I actually did day an endorsement
with it last week. So that's funny how we did
that because he says cag We spelled the same way,
but he says it differently. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So I was talking with the law firm over here,
and they think that somebody is using my name in
the Detroit area represents saying that it's Mike for that
law firm, And so I had to like write a
letter and sign it dead serious. And I've waited to
talk about this, so I talked to you because I
knew the letter or the names were the same. So
(10:39):
I'm like, oh, that'd be great to talk about. And
it's funny because you brought up names. I had to
sign a letter. I had to go to like our
big bosses here and be like, that's not me.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So I was wondering if if.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You you need to scout, you need to see if
somebody's using my name out there or somebody they would
have to use my name and sound like me, Like
that's how set.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You can easily do that with AI though nowadays, which
is crazy, Like people can easily do that to you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's what's my next question is with you do social
you do all this stuff for Mojo in the morning,
like how much. Obviously we don't use AI here with iHeart,
but somebody could, so that is possible. Then somebody could
be using my name in my voice.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, which is really scary. But no, we don't do
that here at all. But I've I've tried things before
where I've tried to use dang I try to get
Dan Campbell's voice, and I recreated his voice by saying
a whole script and everything. It's actually what you can do. Yeah,
so that's insane kind of thing. It was like, hey,
it's Dan Campbell, listen to Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I did that.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We didn't post that anywhere, but I just wanted to
see if we could do that, and we did. Yeah,
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's one thing for like a parody, like or a
joking around or whatever. That's that's funny, but like to.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Use it for real, and I don't know that somebody's
actually doing that or if they didn't just go like
this a testimony from some guy named Mike for the
law firm or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But if you like, you're working with him now, so
you need to ask them, hey, is there a guy
name my gosh?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I will so.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But anyway that goes back, that is very scary, going
back to your radio name thing though, what's wrong with Bianca?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I think Bianca's great. It's just my last name. I
know a lot of people do like like like Lydia
has like Radio Lydia and it has Copake Shannon, Like,
I feel like I should do something with Bianca and
not incorporate my last name because people can't really pronounce
it correctly or they don't know how to read it
or say it. I just want something that flows, you know.
I was thinking like Batty b or something, but.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Baddy be at a house, it'd be easy to find it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like if you that's what you're looking for on on Instagram,
that'd be easy to find it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He was like Mike on air MIC or something.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah. Yeah, It's just everybody was doing on air at
the time, and I was able to get them all
the same. So I just like like, all right, I'm
just gonna keep it on air MIC and it sounds
like microphone so good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
It flows so good. And I can't do on air
Bianca because there's like three syllables. It doesn't sound good.
So maybe like on air B, I don't know, we'll
figure it out. Maybe Chad GBT can help me out
a little bit with that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
On air, B is good though, if you just use
the letter B on air, but then sometimes you're gonna
have to explain it, so you have to be on
air B, but just a letter you want to hear
some crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Actually on my birth certificate, B is my official nickname really,
which I didn't know you can put official nicknames on
your birth certificate. But my dad did that. I don't
know why he needed to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay, it's already.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Also my birth certificate is crazy. My mom, my dad,
and me all have different last names on there. Really,
I'm like, where am I coming from?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Somebody's got some dude.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I was like, am I adopted or something? What's going
on here?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I've never changed her last name. My dad got a
different last name after he moved here from my rack
that I got a new name. But I don't even
know where mine came from.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Honestly, I looked at mine. It was a few years ago.
My dad.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
My dad's not on mine, which I guess makes me
a bastard, right, Yeah, yeah, it makes me a bastard,
right or no, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But no, well, I don't know. Actually, I don't know
why he would be on there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't know they didn't put he didn't like put
his name or nothing on there. He's it's my dad,
it's I think.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Wow, that's crazy. Wait, Mike, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
When did you so you and Ali? I want to
know when did you guys have Cecily after you guys
got married and started dating? Like, I want to know
your timeline real quick?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
All right, so real quick. It's not the correct tieline,
meaning this isn't the way I would suggest that my
child does this herself. We had a baby before we
got married, so wow. Yeah, Cecily was probably three years
old when we got married, so that was in Cecily
was born in twenty fourteen we got married. Oh, I
(15:05):
guess it was four years Cecily. We got married in
twenty eighteen. Then Milo was born in twenty nineteen, and
then Sebastian was born in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh okay, you Why would you think that it's like
a bad that's a bad thing. Why?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Because I don't know, it's not like this everywhere. No, no, no,
I think it's it's some people look down on uh
and I don't see I don't look down on it.
But like in the order that everybody says you're supposed
to go, you you date for a little bit, you
get married, then you have kids. But I got we
had kids, and then I was like, well, I don't
want to just get married because we had kids, but
(15:45):
we loved each other and then it just took a
little bit longer.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Anyways for me, You guys.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Are a very hot couple. Me and Lydia talk about
it all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh you stop it, thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
How would you feel in the future if Cecily was
dating a guy for four years younger than her? How
would you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oo? See, I think you're very like I think you're
very smart.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like I think you're very very, very smart, and I
think my daughter is is kind of the same way
where I would trust your judgment on that. I would
want to meet this boy, probably right away, like I
would want to meet him.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Sure almost has your parents met him yet? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Do you want to know how we met though?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah? Yeah, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
We met through Mojo. So he was a special guest
on our show one Friday and he came in and
I was like, oh my god, who is this guy
sitting in my chair in the studio on his camera?
And I was like, wait, actually, he's actually really fine,
So he can sit there as long as he wants
to the camera. I'm like, dang, this guy is so hot.
Me and Lidi are just like fangirling over this boy.
(16:47):
Found out his dad and Mojo are the best friends.
Oh really already a great in Yeah, so it was great.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So what does Mojo say about all this? I know
he loves the dating stuff and he loves to talk
about it, but what does he say about He was.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
All about it, like he was really all about it,
like go for it. He I told Mojo originally that
was like I actually kind of liked me, so cute,
And here he is two seconds later after I told
Mojo this, the boy didn't even know yet. He's calling
up the dad and he's like, you know, Biaka really
likes your son, like we just set him up. Oh, like, Mojo,
you cannot be doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I like him, that is, I love that whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Since he did that, we started talking, the kid is like,
oh my gosh, I liked you too. That's crazy. So
I guess it all worked out.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, that's perfect. Do you see.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I know, I know it's early, it's you're you know,
you're still twenty three.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He's nineteen, so you got lots of time.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But do you see is there any signs that this
might lead into something? Now, let me say this, I
waited a long time to get married. I waited like
eight years. I didn't get married to was like thirty.
So I'm not saying yeah, yeah, I'm not saying well, yeah,
I'm not saying you do need to anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But do you see this going in that direction?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, definitely. I think that it's actually really weird because
other relationships I had in the past, like I would
say the same thing, but this one, it's like when
you know, you know, we're so early on and we
felt we felt like we kind of rushed into it
a little bit too fast. But it didn't feel fast.
It felt normal, it felt right. And the relationship I
have with this family, the relationship has in my family,
(18:22):
the way we kind of had the same values and traditions,
I think it's it's like perfect, it's great.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Some tips I would I know you didn't ask, but
something I would say is just just test it out.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's a little test.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Go on a road trip if you haven't for like
a weekend, try that, because you're going to see the
best in the worst of that person. You will immediately
see if you go on vacation with them, check their relate.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Does he have sisters.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, he does it. Sister likes me too, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's a good one. That's good.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
What's his relationship with his sister and mom? That tells
a lot as well. How does he treat them?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
And then those are the two two that I say,
before you get married, you need to see those things.
And then you already talk about the other stuff. What
does he want? Does he want kids? Do you want kids?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, I think you want kids sooner than me. I'm
not gonna lie, which is crazy because he's so much
younger than me. He's that much younger, at least like thirty.
He was like we played four years, but he was like,
we should have kids soon, and I'm like no, no, no, no.
I got away to him like thirty, No, you got.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
First off, my wife is four years younger than me.
It's not it's only I think you think it's far
because he's just not old enough to drink yet.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Once he's twenty one, it's not gonna be that much different.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Listen, noo, fake id's are a thing, or I could
just find someone else that looks like him. All Keldyan's
look the same, so it won't be that hard.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I got an old ID I could give you, oh
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Perfect, give me it, Give me
All right. It is the Slightly Messy Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
My name is Mike, formerly from Mojo in the Morning,
now on the B ninety three Morning Show. But this
is heard on the Mojo in the Morning platform, also
on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get podcasts, just
search more Mojo in the last couple of weeks, and
I'm going to do this every week till I get
the entire show. I've decided to bring on a new
cast member from the Mojo in the Morning Show. And
(00:25):
last week we had Lydia, the week before that we
had Zachary, and this week is somebody I met. I
don't know if she remembers when we met, but we met.
We met at a Saint Patti's Day party. On with
the Slightly Messy Podcast. The social media rock star for
the Mojo in the Morning Show. She also does many
(00:46):
other things for Channel nine to five to five and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Bianca. How are you, Bianca?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hey? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm good, So, Bianca. Do you remember the first time
we met?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah? I think we're all about to hit like three
of knowing each other. I remember the first thing I
ever said to you when I met you, which I
probably should never do this.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was like, I was like, are you killed?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That's one hundred percent of the first thing that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I just turned around and asked that. I even like
ask your name or anything. I was just like, are
you killed in and you're like no.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, it's like not not but but uh that was
the that was Yeah, that was the first sentence that
was ever said in Yeah, I remembered it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I was on promo all the time, so I wasn't
even like on the show or anything. I was just
doing like the promo stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So okay, let's get crazy. Go ahead, now we got
a delay. That's it. That's the thing here. Sorry for
that about Taddy Cut. What were you gonna say?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Oh, I was gonna say, it's just like, it's crazy
how far I came like three years ago. It's pretty
much when I went and everyone on the show and
now it's like my life, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So that was my next question, is you started in
radio doing promo? Was this uh always something you wanted
to do or did you were you in school? I
know you went to a Michigan State In the Michigan.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
State, Yeah, so I went to school for marketing and
business and sports management. That's kind of the route I
wanted to go in. I knew I always wanted to
do like entertainment, but I honestly did not even know
that radio was an option. So I applied on the
promo team like December twenty twenty two, just like I
thought it was a marketing internship, honestly. So then I
(02:26):
went to the interview and I was like, okay, bet
a marketing internship for the summer whatever. And I never
left and it was not an internship whatsoever. It's more
just like working on the street. So I kind of
got campfish, but it was a bucking and these guys, honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And you know what you got in and they immediately
were like she's a rock star, Like you were amazing
at promo, and then you've already started to work your
way up, which is like, if you're getting into radio,
that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You gotta get your foot in the door. Figure out
what you want to do.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What is the ultimate goal here are you going? I know,
obviously you're rocking with the show and you're doing all
the social media. What is the ultimate goal for radio?
Are you gonna stick with this? Do you want to
move on to something else.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So, honestly, I love it right now, and when I
look back, like things I've always wanted to do. It's
talking to people, being if on a microphone. I love
being on a microphone and just doing social media too.
So I think I'm kind of doing everything that I
love right now. Maybe when my time at Mojo in
the morning is done, either I would have like my
own show, or I would go out and do like
(03:24):
national iHeart radio events or just something where I can
still be like a face and a host and entertain people.
I don't know what that would look like, but some
people I kind of look up to is like EJ.
He does a whole bunch of different stations. I think
what he does is pretty cool. So yeah, I don't
really know. I actually never really knew what my next
step was going to be, but I kind of just
(03:45):
let God in the world do his thing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Honestly, I love that, absolutely love it. Did I see that?
You also you also sing is that something you're looking
to get?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So I like that is like a dream dream goal.
I know this looks super hard and that's like a
crazy wild thing, But yeah, I wrote a couple of songs.
I'm like, actually the process of writing another one right now.
But it's like a little hobby and like fun thing
I do. But yeah, I dropped. I dropped like my
very first song ever last year. But I more wrote
it so of kind of like what's it called, like
(04:18):
a contribution? Not a contribution? What is it called? Like
I'm dedication, like a dedication to my dad. So I
wrote a talk about my dad and like his life
from moving from here from Iraq and just kind of
the relationship that we have together. So I think that
was really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Where can people find this if they're looking to listen
to some of the music on everything.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's on iHeart radio, apps, on app music, Spotify, like
literally all platforms. I dropped it on everything. It was
really cool to release that because it kind of explained
all the emotions I shared with my dad and the
way I feel towards him. Because especially in like a
foreign house, we don't really explain our feelings or we
(05:02):
don't really show our emotions of feelings that much, so
I always kind of just biled it up. I never
really talked to him. If we talk, it's more just
like work and things how's your day going. It's never
like deeper than that, which I feel like it should be,
especially in a family, but in the cultural mindset, it's
never really liked that. So I kind of wrote all
my feelings and everything i'd ever I'd always wanted to
(05:23):
tell him, but I was kind of nervous to or
just didn't feel right too, which things really wrong. But
that's just kind of how it went.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't think so. I think that's I.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Wrote it for him.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think that's where true inspiration comes from. I feel like,
is is like real life and stuff like that. And
how did your dad take it? When did he listen
to it? I'm assuming he did, right.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, he did so. I actually I recorded his reaction
to It's kind of funny he I played with my
mom and my dad at the same time, and I
didn't tell him what I was doing. I was like,
I did this really cool thing at work today. I
want to show you, like I want to show you
a crazy thing. And it was a song, yeah, and
my mom's balling her eyes out, tissues everywhere all but
(06:03):
my dad he just sat there and you could tell
like he wanted to ballsize out too, but he like
kept it all in. You see some tears falling down,
but he didn't let it out. And my mom was
crying and I was like, guys, it's not sad, and
my dad's like, no, no, it's the snowshoon. He try
it all the n't try to get taint of the notion.
(06:27):
And I'm like, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Let it out, dad, let it out.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like, bro, let me see you cry for one for real.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You know what I think about it?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Like my daughter, I'd like to say, I kind of
grew up the same way. I grew up in a
like I got a split family. So like my dad
is Hispanic and my mom is super white, so like
it was too so I was.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Too so my dad's killed me and my mom's really white.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, So, but I kind of grew up in like
the same environment where like feelings weren't like a big
deal or like talked about not they're they're a big deal,
but they weren't like expressed by eight needs.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But like I found today and I don't know if
you're like this too that I'm like, I'm more emotional
because I didn't have any of that growing up.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, no, for sure. I feel like now I'm always
I don't know. I still don't show my emotions really
much towards them, but with other people, my left, my
close friends, like I know Lydia. You guys interviewed her
last week, like I'm always crying to her or like
my boyfriend now, like that's where the emotions come out. Yeah,
I was a man now?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Did not know that?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah? Well I do. It's crazy. He's uh, he's nineteen
though he's a he's a young.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And he's a howl.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Are you that's that's that's I'm twenty three?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh jeez, that's crazy. Yeah, so did you? Did you? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I back into the your huge age gap with your boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
H but I know what did you post?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
My parents were not happy with that. Neither were his.
They're like, you guys should not be dating. He's way
too young for you. My mom is like, you want
to get married soon, you want to have kids soon?
But I was like, actually no, I don't. It's like
I actually think it's a blessing that he's done than
me because I'm not rushed to get married.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, is he Caldan?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah he is, but he acts he acts Americans, so
he's not as culture. He's culture, but he's not as boter.
I guess we call him voters that are really foreign.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
What does that mean? Because for people in West Michigan,
they don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, So voters, voter Keldans are people. We call them
voters because they pretty much act like they just got
off the boat Iraq. You're coming to here, right, So
we call them voters because they actually they just go
off the boat. Their acting super sick. They have really
cultural traditions. But if you're like whitewashed, I'm whitewashed. I
(08:46):
don't really speak kel Dan. I still have the values
and like traditions I follow, but I'm more Americanized, you know,
so perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So if they want to see, I'm assuming you posted
the video of your dad's reaction, what is your like
Instagram or TikTok or wherever you posted that, that's my TikTok.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So it's Bianca Kajy's. That's the last thing media handles. Yeah,
so it's my full first name, last name. So yeah,
which comes to a conversation about I need a better
radio name, Like I need a good radio name what
do you want it to be? Sometimes I don't know.
I think about it all sometimes. I know here in
Detroit it's like a little thing. People call me Kagib,
(09:28):
but when you saw my last name, it doesn't sound
like Kagi all the time. So I kind of wanted
just like an easier name for people to find me
or just recognize my name, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So, yes, that's I know exactly what you mean. Is
your last name pronounced Kagi?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, but it doesn't look like that when you're reading it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, But this is an interesting, uh kind of way
we're gonna go with this because not only I think
it's a great idea to come up with a with
a radio name or use your name or whatever, but
there is a something that happened like two weeks ago.
There's a law firm in your in the Southfield area
called Kazi something law firm, right, Yeah, is that your family?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
No, it's not. But I actually did day an endorsement
with it last week. So that's funny how we did
that because he says cag We spelled the same way,
but he says it differently. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So I was talking with the law firm over here,
and they think that somebody is using my name in
the Detroit area represents saying that it's Mike for that
law firm, And so I had to like write a
letter and sign it dead serious. And I've waited to
talk about this, so I talked to you because I
knew the letter or the names were the same. So
(10:39):
I'm like, oh, that'd be great to talk about. And
it's funny because you brought up names. I had to
sign a letter. I had to go to like our
big bosses here and be like, that's not me.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So I was wondering if if.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You you need to scout, you need to see if
somebody's using my name out there or somebody they would
have to use my name and sound like me, Like
that's how set.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You can easily do that with AI though nowadays, which
is crazy, Like people can easily do that to you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's what's my next question is with you do social
you do all this stuff for Mojo in the morning,
like how much. Obviously we don't use AI here with iHeart,
but somebody could, so that is possible. Then somebody could
be using my name in my voice.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, which is really scary. But no, we don't do
that here at all. But I've I've tried things before
where I've tried to use dang I try to get
Dan Campbell's voice, and I recreated his voice by saying
a whole script and everything. It's actually what you can do. Yeah,
so that's insane kind of thing. It was like, hey,
it's Dan Campbell, listen to Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I did that.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We didn't post that anywhere, but I just wanted to
see if we could do that, and we did. Yeah,
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's one thing for like a parody, like or a
joking around or whatever. That's that's funny, but like to.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Use it for real, and I don't know that somebody's
actually doing that or if they didn't just go like
this a testimony from some guy named Mike for the
law firm or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But if you like, you're working with him now, so
you need to ask them, hey, is there a guy
name my gosh?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I will so.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But anyway that goes back, that is very scary, going
back to your radio name thing though, what's wrong with Bianca?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I think Bianca's great. It's just my last name. I
know a lot of people do like like like Lydia
has like Radio Lydia and it has Copake Shannon, Like,
I feel like I should do something with Bianca and
not incorporate my last name because people can't really pronounce
it correctly or they don't know how to read it
or say it. I just want something that flows, you know.
I was thinking like Batty b or something, but.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Baddy be at a house, it'd be easy to find it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like if you that's what you're looking for on on Instagram,
that'd be easy to find it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He was like Mike on air MIC or something.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah. Yeah, It's just everybody was doing on air at
the time, and I was able to get them all
the same. So I just like like, all right, I'm
just gonna keep it on air MIC and it sounds
like microphone so good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
It flows so good. And I can't do on air
Bianca because there's like three syllables. It doesn't sound good.
So maybe like on air B, I don't know, we'll
figure it out. Maybe Chad GBT can help me out
a little bit with that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
On air, B is good though, if you just use
the letter B on air, but then sometimes you're gonna
have to explain it, so you have to be on
air B, but just a letter you want to hear
some crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Actually on my birth certificate, B is my official nickname really,
which I didn't know you can put official nicknames on
your birth certificate. But my dad did that. I don't
know why he needed to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay, it's already.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Also my birth certificate is crazy. My mom, my dad,
and me all have different last names on there. Really,
I'm like, where am I coming from?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Somebody's got some dude.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I was like, am I adopted or something? What's going
on here?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I've never changed her last name. My dad got a
different last name after he moved here from my rack
that I got a new name. But I don't even
know where mine came from.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Honestly, I looked at mine. It was a few years ago.
My dad.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
My dad's not on mine, which I guess makes me
a bastard, right, Yeah, yeah, it makes me a bastard,
right or no, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But no, well, I don't know. Actually, I don't know
why he would be on there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't know they didn't put he didn't like put
his name or nothing on there. He's it's my dad,
it's I think.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Wow, that's crazy. Wait, Mike, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
When did you so you and Ali? I want to
know when did you guys have Cecily after you guys
got married and started dating? Like, I want to know
your timeline real quick?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
All right, so real quick. It's not the correct tieline,
meaning this isn't the way I would suggest that my
child does this herself. We had a baby before we
got married, so wow. Yeah, Cecily was probably three years
old when we got married, so that was in Cecily
was born in twenty fourteen we got married. Oh, I
(15:05):
guess it was four years Cecily. We got married in
twenty eighteen. Then Milo was born in twenty nineteen, and
then Sebastian was born in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Oh okay, you Why would you think that it's like
a bad that's a bad thing. Why?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Because I don't know, it's not like this everywhere. No, no, no,
I think it's it's some people look down on uh
and I don't see I don't look down on it.
But like in the order that everybody says you're supposed
to go, you you date for a little bit, you
get married, then you have kids. But I got we
had kids, and then I was like, well, I don't
want to just get married because we had kids, but
(15:45):
we loved each other and then it just took a
little bit longer.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Anyways for me, You guys.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Are a very hot couple. Me and Lydia talk about
it all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh you stop it, thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
How would you feel in the future if Cecily was
dating a guy for four years younger than her? How
would you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oo? See, I think you're very like I think you're
very smart.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like I think you're very very, very smart, and I
think my daughter is is kind of the same way
where I would trust your judgment on that. I would
want to meet this boy, probably right away, like I
would want to meet him.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Sure almost has your parents met him yet? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Do you want to know how we met though?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah? Yeah, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
We met through Mojo. So he was a special guest
on our show one Friday and he came in and
I was like, oh my god, who is this guy
sitting in my chair in the studio on his camera?
And I was like, wait, actually, he's actually really fine,
So he can sit there as long as he wants
to the camera. I'm like, dang, this guy is so hot.
Me and Lidi are just like fangirling over this boy.
(16:47):
Found out his dad and Mojo are the best friends.
Oh really already a great in Yeah, so it was great.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So what does Mojo say about all this? I know
he loves the dating stuff and he loves to talk
about it, but what does he say about He was.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
All about it, like he was really all about it,
like go for it. He I told Mojo originally that
was like I actually kind of liked me, so cute,
And here he is two seconds later after I told
Mojo this, the boy didn't even know yet. He's calling
up the dad and he's like, you know, Biaka really
likes your son, like we just set him up. Oh, like, Mojo,
you cannot be doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I like him, that is, I love that whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Since he did that, we started talking, the kid is like,
oh my gosh, I liked you too. That's crazy. So
I guess it all worked out.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, that's perfect. Do you see.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I know, I know it's early, it's you're you know,
you're still twenty three.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He's nineteen, so you got lots of time.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But do you see is there any signs that this
might lead into something? Now, let me say this, I
waited a long time to get married. I waited like
eight years. I didn't get married to was like thirty.
So I'm not saying yeah, yeah, I'm not saying well, yeah,
I'm not saying you do need to anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But do you see this going in that direction?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, definitely. I think that it's actually really weird because
other relationships I had in the past, like I would
say the same thing, but this one, it's like when
you know, you know, we're so early on and we
felt we felt like we kind of rushed into it
a little bit too fast. But it didn't feel fast.
It felt normal, it felt right. And the relationship I
have with this family, the relationship has in my family,
(18:22):
the way we kind of had the same values and traditions,
I think it's it's like perfect, it's great.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Some tips I would I know you didn't ask, but
something I would say is just just test it out.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's a little test.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Go on a road trip if you haven't for like
a weekend, try that, because you're going to see the
best in the worst of that person. You will immediately
see if you go on vacation with them, check their relate.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Does he have sisters.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, he does it. Sister likes me too, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's a good one. That's good.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
What's his relationship with his sister and mom? That tells
a lot as well. How does he treat them?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
And then those are the two two that I say,
before you get married, you need to see those things.
And then you already talk about the other stuff. What
does he want? Does he want kids? Do you want kids?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, I think you want kids sooner than me. I'm
not gonna lie, which is crazy because he's so much
younger than me. He's that much younger, at least like thirty.
He was like we played four years, but he was like,
we should have kids soon, and I'm like no, no, no, no.
I got away to him like thirty, No, you got.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
First off, my wife is four years younger than me.
It's not it's only I think you think it's far
because he's just not old enough to drink yet.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Once he's twenty one, it's not gonna be that much different.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Listen, noo, fake id's are a thing, or I could
just find someone else that looks like him. All Keldyan's
look the same, so it won't be that hard.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I got an old ID I could give you, oh
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Perfect, give me it, Give me

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
