Speaker 1: All right, it's Mojo in the morning. I got to
Speaker 1: go on record that I do complain about this every
Speaker 1: single year. I always forget where I live. I live
Speaker 1: in a town called West Bloomfield, Michigan, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: the people that I live by have expendable income to
Speaker 1: go out and waste money on things called fireworks. I
Speaker 1: am not kidding you. For the last week or so
Speaker 1: week and a half, I have been every single night
Speaker 1: trying to lay my head to sleep at nine thirty,
Speaker 1: ten o'clock, ten thirty, eleven o'clock, eleven thirty, and I
Speaker 1: cannot fall asleep because all I hear is put boom
Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. And it's
Speaker 1: coming from all over the place. It's coming from the east,
Speaker 1: it's coming from the west, it's coming from the north,
Speaker 1: it's coming from the south. It's all over Waterford's even
Speaker 1: popping them off Commerce Township's got a couple of them
Speaker 1: going off Orchard Lake.
Speaker 2: Big.
Speaker 1: So it's gotten to a point now where I am tired,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to say this to you. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to listen to you complain that the shell station
Speaker 1: at Hiller in Commerce Road has four dollars and forty
Speaker 1: five cent gas.
Speaker 2: Because if you can blow.
Speaker 1: Off fireworks in the sky that probably are costing you,
Speaker 1: I don't know, we gotta be or let's say fifty
Speaker 1: bucks a box, you know, or whatever it is, and
Speaker 1: then maybe they who knows how much they get, how
Speaker 1: many they get. Then you shouldn't complain about the high
Speaker 1: prices of gas, because I'm telling you it has gotten
Speaker 1: to be insane. I don't know. Call me up and
Speaker 1: tell me how much money you spend on these fireworks.
Speaker 3: I am always blown away pun intended by the dollar
Speaker 3: amount that people spend on fireworks, like I can't wrap
Speaker 3: my brain around spending, you know, two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: It's one of those people do have. It's one of.
Speaker 1: Those things where you would say, Okay, well, maybe it's
Speaker 1: the lakes or the communities firing off. It's not because
Speaker 1: I know when they're doing theirs, and those are always
Speaker 1: done right, They are always done ten oh three read
Speaker 1: they light them off in by ten fifteen or ten twenty,
Speaker 1: they're completely done. These ones are just random.
Speaker 4: I mean, I would much rather have the early fireworks
Speaker 4: than the post July four, fireworks because to me, that
Speaker 4: like July fourth, okay fifth, if you ask some leftovers,
Speaker 4: get them out the way. When it starts getting later
Speaker 4: in the and you're still blowing, I got a jot along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is my by way, this is actual slash,
Speaker 1: this is this is live right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is life.
Speaker 1: West one, I think I think that you have to
Speaker 1: look at the law. But I think the law is
Speaker 1: it's July first to sometime a right, but so it
Speaker 1: ends not so it's not even last.
Speaker 5: Night they were so loud.
Speaker 3: Somebody was doing them around my house and West kept going,
Speaker 3: is it thundering? Like is there a thunderstorm? I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: it's freaking fireworks.
Speaker 2: I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Actually Actually, you know what I did last night? I
Speaker 1: yelled at lukecause Luke's room is right above our room.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, Luke, what are you doing up there?
Speaker 2: And Chelsea goes.
Speaker 1: Chelsea goes, I think he's sleeping right now, like it was,
Speaker 1: but it was because it's sounded like it was that
Speaker 1: close in my u my house.
Speaker 2: Shout out, what's his name? Remember?
Speaker 6: Pat?
Speaker 4: I met him like through here at Exotic.
Speaker 1: Pat who used to own Entertainment Express limousines.
