Speaker 1: It's mo Joe in the morning show. So I am
Speaker 1: only going to do this topic on one condition. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do it on one condition that I will not
Speaker 1: embarrass this company if they buy advertising from this radio show.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna blackmail. I was just going to say
Speaker 1: this is black a total blackmail. So I left the
Speaker 1: show on Friday. And when I left the show on Friday,
Speaker 1: I had to drive to ann Arbor. And so I
Speaker 1: when I drive to Anne Arbor, we are located in
Speaker 1: downtown Detroit, I jump on the freeway here, I get
Speaker 1: on ninety six and I pretty much take ninety six
Speaker 1: to you don't want to know the deal to M
Speaker 1: fourteen go with stuff. So I'm on ninety six and
Speaker 1: I'm going at a good clip. I'm going probably eighty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour, and I'm going really good. And
Speaker 1: I've got my Gordon Chevrolet Super Cruise on, which basically
Speaker 1: is me just kind of kicking back, no hands on
Speaker 1: the wheel, things driving itself. When a vehicle with their
Speaker 1: state or their company's business, it's gonna say a radio station,
Speaker 1: it's not a radio station, it was their company's business,
Speaker 1: pulls right in front of me and almost literally kills
Speaker 1: me like, I mean, we almost you know, ended up
Speaker 1: banging right into each other. It was crazy, and I
Speaker 1: am pissed now because he's not He's not even oh
Speaker 1: I'm like seriously pounding on that thing and he's not
Speaker 1: even paying attention and he doesn't even care. And I
Speaker 1: look and him like, oh a roofing company. So it's
Speaker 1: a roofing company, and it's a popular roofing company. It
Speaker 1: was a big name roofing company. And I ended up
Speaker 1: taking a picture. I sent the picture in my with
Speaker 1: my topics so you can see the name. Have you
Speaker 1: heard of that roofing company before? As matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I think that roofing company might even advertise on a
Speaker 1: competitive radio station.
Speaker 2: I think I've heard.
Speaker 1: I mean so, so this bastard was in front of me,
Speaker 1: and it got me to a point where I thought
Speaker 1: about doing in the one eight hundred how's my driving thing,
Speaker 1: like where you call up the place. And it got
Speaker 1: me thinking to myself, well, maybe I should call them
Speaker 1: and let them know. I won't call them out or
Speaker 1: post the picture of them almost hitting me. If they
Speaker 1: advertise on the radio, they buy a schedule from Alisha Bailey.
Speaker 1: You know, we got to get Alisha in an accounter
Speaker 1: hair on this one. So I'm gonna throw this out there.
Speaker 1: If you're driving around with a fricking billboard on your car, like,
Speaker 1: if you're driving around with a company name on your car,
Speaker 1: you can't drive like an a hole. Yeah, because if
Speaker 1: you drive like an a hole.
Speaker 3: That's your company's name. That's it, that's the reputation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right there.
Speaker 1: And I want to ask if any listeners have ever
Speaker 1: gotten cut off or we're out in public and somebody
Speaker 1: in a company vehicle flip them off, did you call
Speaker 1: the company and tell them about that?
Speaker 2: I love it, you know what I mean? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: know people are calling eight four four Mojo Live.
Speaker 1: Eight four four sixty six five six y five four
Speaker 1: eight is the telephone number. I know people that do
Speaker 1: this with cops, Like they'll see a cop that will
Speaker 1: act like you know, a fool.
Speaker 3: Or texting and driving or something or texting.
Speaker 1: And driving, Yeah, and they'll call the police department and say,
Speaker 1: squad car number seventy you know, is driving around doing
Speaker 1: this thing, and they like they like to turn them in.
Speaker 1: But honestly, this roofing company, it was really honestly, Yeah, scary.
Speaker 3: How I'm surprised you didn't send him a little DM or.
Speaker 1: You know, can I be honest with you, Shannon, I am.
Speaker 1: I instantly thought, I'm like, I don't know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go right now and I'm gonna post this picture with
Speaker 1: a I got cut off by that on social media
Speaker 1: and do some social media shaming. And then I realized
Speaker 1: that's just the people that we get so complaining about,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like the people that get
Speaker 1: pissed at us over stuff. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: will say that the guy. If the guy acknowledged like
Speaker 1: I've cut people off before.
Speaker 2: Or wave like do the do the little wave thing
Speaker 2: to me? Like the man, I'm sorry, whatever the deal is.
Speaker 1: Then I pull up next to the guy and I
Speaker 1: pull up and I did the whole you know, with
Speaker 1: the hands up in the air like type thing. The
Speaker 1: guy looks at me like I'm the crazy one, Like
Speaker 1: who are you? Who are you to look at me
Speaker 1: that way? Mister rufe?
Speaker 2: Man? Do you think I promo people are all driving? Respect?
Speaker 3: I always think about the call are you joking?
Speaker 4: No?

Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: I think we've found several yeah.
Speaker 1: Like the station vehicle with our faces. They think it
Speaker 1: and they all think it's Mojo driving and it says
Speaker 1: Mojo yeah.
Speaker 2: They honestly, it wouldn't be me, it'd be Shinnon.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, let me tell you something. I Anna, you
Speaker 3: don't know the story. I used to be married to
Speaker 3: a guy who was business owner and he would not

Speaker 3: member had something and I was not allowed to put
Speaker 3: that sticker on my car.

Speaker 7: guy that he flipped you know, his manager's girlfriend off.
Speaker 3: Oh what small?

Speaker 1: I haven't driven a station vehicle in so long, and
Speaker 1: I refuse to drive them. You want to know why?
Speaker 1: And I was telling Tony this. Our station vehicles are
Speaker 1: from like two thousand and five, Like we have a
Speaker 1: state we have station vehicles that are so old it's awful.
Speaker 1: The only vehicle that is like the nice one is
Speaker 1: that that jeep, you know, the Gladiator thing.
Speaker 3: You guys have to drive that wheels van. You can't
Speaker 3: see how the back and there's no mirrors.
Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot about that. Used to be in promo.

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, drive them, I'd push them, I'd get them.
Speaker 2: Were they that bad? Oh yeah they were.
Speaker 1: I never understood it. I remember, you know, when I
Speaker 1: had talked with Colleen back in the day. I'm like, Colleen,
Speaker 1: we got to dump these things. Do you know how
Speaker 1: bad it is when we go out to station promotions
Speaker 1: and the vehicle that we're driving looks like it should
Speaker 1: be in the Woodward Dream Cruise?
Speaker 2: You should like auction them off to listeners.
Speaker 1: I honestly we should. We should drive them into a
Speaker 1: river somewhere. That's what we should do.
Speaker 2: I don't even go. I wouldn't even give them to
Speaker 2: a listener.
Speaker 3: Uh, donate them to like mother Wattles. Hear those commercials all.
Speaker 2: The time one eight seven seven Cars.
Speaker 3: For kids, Cars for kids?
Speaker 2: What about? What about this?
Speaker 1: Did you ever see those cars that look like old
Speaker 1: police cars and people are driving.
Speaker 3: The I hate those because they still have the police
Speaker 3: mirrors on the side. So I always I like thrower
Speaker 3: my speed, and then I'm like, oh, never mind.
Speaker 1: I've often thought to myself, though, that'd be kind of
Speaker 1: fun to be able to have like a backseat where
Speaker 1: you can like lock up your kids, put your kids
Speaker 1: in the back seat, only go super fast.
