Speaker 1: I was mentioning how last week we were off and
Speaker 1: last week Bianca, Lydia and Anna all with myself. We're
Speaker 1: down in Florida visiting my son, Joe and Jed and Ashley,
Speaker 1: the guys from The Joe Show. And last week also
Speaker 1: was for those that are Catholic, it was the start
Speaker 1: of Lent. It was ash Wednesday, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: we missed Fat Tuesday. They don't celebrate Fat Tuesday. Yes
Speaker 1: they do with no with Poosky's in Florida. Kay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't do. They don't do. Actually, you know what's
Speaker 1: funny is when I grew up in Chicago, that was
Speaker 1: a big I think it's a big Polish thing or something.
Speaker 2: Did they celebrate with like tans or no?
Speaker 1: Do you know what, I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1: I think that they it's too fattening for them to
Speaker 1: have Poonski's. Did you guys have a pooski last week?
Speaker 2: I did it. They were all along, shut out, de girls.
Speaker 3: You don't like pooch, I don't like filled donuts?
Speaker 2: What I know? Wow, Mojo, there was zero Pooski's in
Speaker 2: the studio because yeah, well, I mean what about the
Speaker 2: other morning shows there was zero.
Speaker 3: Has probably had boxes of them in the studio.
Speaker 2: Zero in this building really, first time in like five years. Well,
Speaker 2: let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we're going to redo, we'll relive, We'll we'll have
Speaker 1: a double fat Tuesday tomorrow and a good point. Let's
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's see if we can get the ham
Speaker 1: Trammick bakers to bring them by to us. So, uh,
Speaker 1: last week was also ash Wednesday, and you know, because
Speaker 1: we got the super Catholics on the show and byonca.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, these guys they practically are, you know, part
Speaker 1: of the Vatican for God's sakes. They they love Catholicism
Speaker 1: and they love their Catholic faith, which is wonderful. I
Speaker 1: went to twelve years of Catholic school, and I can
Speaker 1: tell you this, I don't think I've been to church
Speaker 1: as much as these guys have been in my years
Speaker 1: on this planet. Well, Lydia and Bianca made me feel
Speaker 1: like a little bit, I guess, like a heathen because they,
Speaker 1: on a vacation, were even gonna go and get ashes
Speaker 1: on ash wed Like, honestly, I was going to just
Speaker 1: go to the beach and get sand. That's what I
Speaker 1: was gonna do something. And I actually, you know what
Speaker 1: I was gonna do. I was gonna not eat meat,
Speaker 1: which is a big deal for me. Look at me,
Speaker 1: I'm a fat man. So I decided that I would
Speaker 1: go with them. They said that they were going to
Speaker 1: go to ash Wednesday service, which Anna, you were going to, right?
Speaker 2: Did you end up going?
Speaker 4: I did not?
Speaker 1: You did not, Okay, which, by the way, you are Catholic,
Speaker 1: aren't you.
Speaker 4: I was raised Catholic.
Speaker 5: Yes, you don't have to be not only Catholic. The
Speaker 5: people celebrate Lent.
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, but we oh really, I was going to
Speaker 3: say Wes went and got his ashes at an Episcopal church.
Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe that's it.
Speaker 1: Maybe in church it's it's Christian churches like what Lutheran, Episcopal, Catholic.
Speaker 2: I think even the Presbyterians do it, do they? Okay?
Speaker 2: And the Pescatarians. But Pescatarians are always observing.
Speaker 6: No me.
Speaker 1: So the girl said, hey, we're going to go get ashes.
Speaker 1: Can you we look up exactly like where to go?
Speaker 1: So I actually did for them. I looked up, and
Speaker 1: I looked up that there was a church that was
Speaker 1: not that far from the hotel that they were staying at,
Speaker 1: and it had a four o'clock service and as seven
Speaker 1: o'clock service. So I had golfed that day and I
Speaker 1: came off golf course exhausted, and I text them and said, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll meet you guys at the at the four o'clock service.
Speaker 1: Am I echoing back at myself, No, you're okay, because
Speaker 1: I can hear myself to myself. But that's okay. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's God speaking to me. Maybe that's the Lord going Thomas,
Speaker 1: you are a heathen. So I laid down for a second,
Speaker 1: only to wake up at five minutes to four o'clock. Well,
Speaker 1: the service was at four o'clock and I wake up
Speaker 1: to a text message, and the text message says, Mojo
Speaker 1: are you here at church? Which, by the way, I
Speaker 1: love the way Bianca does her texting because it's.
Speaker 2: M O j O R space you here at church?
Speaker 1: And I answer back, Oh my god, I just woke up.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, and get me some ashes. Get me.
Speaker 2: I don't have to go.
Speaker 4: You'd be surprised. You see our videos.
Speaker 3: Doesn't have to be a priest or, a pastor who
Speaker 3: puts them on you or you your something.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought to Shannon.
Speaker 2: They got it to go box of they did put
Speaker 2: in They put it in a baggie. Why did you
Speaker 2: like a what is it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was literally said you can't attend.
Speaker 3: I saw the video and I didn't think those were
Speaker 3: real as I thought it was like.
Speaker 4: Not even just that. It was Jed putting them on
Speaker 4: for head saying simba okay.
Speaker 2: No, hold on, where's wait? Wait wait, where is the audio?
Speaker 2: That is it in? Uh senter to you and okay,
Speaker 2: hold on a second. This is just cutting you and Shannon,
Speaker 2: So me.
Speaker 1: And Shannon, let me see here now, Yes, I got
Speaker 1: this oh yeah, here it is here.
Speaker 2: Hold on, here, here it is right here. Hold hold on, ready,
Speaker 2: held on. He don't cass He's so real, right, Jed?
Speaker 4: He does swear this is my video.
Speaker 2: Hold o. Yeah, I'll stop it right there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so Jad was doing it and Jed, by
Speaker 1: the way, is a proud Catholic. He went to Notre
Speaker 1: Dame Prep High School. But before that, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the parish that he was he belonged to in Clarkston,
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. They're very very Everest. He
Speaker 1: went to Everest Academy too, so that's a big one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so he did it. So he asked us, which
Speaker 1: was that? But how did you guys ask?
Speaker 6: I'd also like to preface that we're doing this outside
Speaker 6: of a restaurant, and everyone in the restaurant was staring
Speaker 6: at us doing this and judging us.
Speaker 1: Believe what did the priest or the person at the
Speaker 1: ash Wednesday service at Saint Germain's say nothing?
Speaker 4: He's like, you want ashes?
Speaker 2: And I'm like yeah, He's like, all right, here you go.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They must honestly, that must be a common thing, because
Speaker 1: you might have a grandma or somebody that can't get
Speaker 1: it out or something.
Speaker 5: They should go there. If it's a nursing home, they
Speaker 5: should go there. Ye can't throw it in a zip lock.
Speaker 3: What are the ashes from the palms from them?
Speaker 2: See that.
Speaker 5: The body of Catholics them.
Speaker 4: I went to Catholic school for twelve years.
Speaker 2: I know you did. You went to what school?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 4: Our Lady of the Lakes and Waterford?
Speaker 2: So I see that, Anna, you're you know what.
Speaker 1: I know that you're not practicing now, but you remember
Speaker 1: things that I don't even remember. But yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: palms from Palm Sunday.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 5: So okay, so real quick, definitely go get into your topic.
Speaker 5: But that you get palms on Palm Sunday, right, because
Speaker 5: that's how we used to do at our church. You
Speaker 5: take them home with you, you have to bring them
Speaker 5: back and then burn them or.
Speaker 3: Like how do they do they burn the extras?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the extra palms.
Speaker 1: I think that they do it all they matter of fact,
Speaker 1: they probably do. They have Does the churches have like
Speaker 1: because they know that they have. When I was a Catholic,
Speaker 1: uh you know, uh Altar boy, we used to have
Speaker 1: to set up for Mass and there was like boxes
Speaker 1: we would empty from shipments from ups that would come
Speaker 1: and they were boxes of like the host and everything
Speaker 1: like that that would come pre blessed by the priest.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if they have boxes of ashes that
Speaker 1: come to the church, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, anything on Amazon asses from that.
Speaker 1: I guess you gotta bless them, you know. Yeah, Jeff
Speaker 1: Bezos should not be bringing my a But I want
Speaker 1: to ask the question. I guess this was the topic
Speaker 1: that I wanted to get into. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if anybody will call with this, or they'll just call
Speaker 1: and explain to us the ashes and how the church
Speaker 1: gets it. But what's the thing that you slept through
Speaker 1: that you feel so horrible about or maybe you got
Speaker 1: in trouble sleeping through Because I ain't gonna lie. I've
Speaker 1: overslept or slept through a lot of things. The worst
Speaker 1: is sleeping through church. And it's a big moment that
Speaker 1: I know was meaning a lot to you know, Lydia
Speaker 1: and Bianca especially.
Speaker 5: Man I slept one time my friend Ashley. I was
Speaker 5: trying to date this girl named Ashley. She lived in Michigan.
Speaker 5: She moved to New York. Went to New York to
Speaker 5: see her, had a fun time, great time. She was
Speaker 5: coming back home and I was tasked because I volunteered.
Speaker 5: That's the worst part too. I wasn't even asked. I
Speaker 5: volunteered to pick her up from the airport. And she like, Kevin, do.
Speaker 2: Not miss it. It's at eight poin forty. I'm like, dog,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna miss it. You kidding me. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 5: I get off work, had a long day, went home,
Speaker 5: laid on the couch, was like, ah, it's early.
Speaker 2: It's like four o'clock. Like, there's no way I'll sleep.
Speaker 5: I woke up. It was like nine to fifty. I
Speaker 5: had like twenty misscalls talked to me for like a year.
Speaker 5: At one time, slept through traffic court I had. I
Speaker 5: had taken the day off because I had to go
Speaker 5: to traffic court, which I hate traffic court. And this
Speaker 5: was years ago, this might have been twenty some years ago,
Speaker 5: and so I actually had to wake up and go
Speaker 5: to traffic court at seven o'clock. Mind you, I wake
Speaker 5: up at three point thirty every morning with no problem.
Speaker 5: I ended up waking up at about five till seven.
Speaker 5: Because nobody thought that I was supposed to even go
Speaker 5: to work that day. They thought I was just taking
Speaker 5: off and I ended up missing the traffic court. I
Speaker 5: got in such huge trouble because I was not there.
Speaker 5: I had to come up with some kind of lie,
Speaker 5: but that you lie, I had listen.
Speaker 1: I almost lied to Beyonca on Lydia and then I realized,
Speaker 1: but I did I lied to I ended up saying
Speaker 1: that I woke up with the stomach flu and you know,
Speaker 1: didn't want to get to the judge and you know,
Speaker 1: any kind of an illness situation. But Darlene wants to
Speaker 1: explain to us the ashes.
Speaker 8: What's going on, Darlene, Ah, Yes, the ashes are from
Speaker 8: the year before, and the poems that you hit the
Speaker 8: year before from that you bring in and they end
Speaker 8: up burning those and using those for the next ash Wednesday.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 1: So you bring your ashes back and then bring your
Speaker 1: palms back, yep.
Speaker 9: And then they end up burning that and that's what
Speaker 9: they use for the ash wends.
Speaker 3: I mean, I grew up Catholic too, and I don't
Speaker 3: ever remember bringing our palms back. My grandma would make
Speaker 3: them into like little crosses and we keep them on
Speaker 3: like a picture frame or something, and do it.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: She said, that's what my mom always used to say.
Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe it's the extra ones from last year,
Speaker 9: but you know, my mom always used to tell me
Speaker 9: that there was the poems from previous year.
Speaker 5: You know, parents be lying, We've been saying anything in
Speaker 5: our kids, Darlene, what's the biggest what's the biggest thing
Speaker 5: that you ever slept through?
Speaker 2: You ever sleep through anything?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 9: Gosh, you know, I'm pretty punctual, and I don't and
Speaker 9: like as soon as I hear something. I'm just one
Speaker 9: of those people that I hear everything. So actually I
Speaker 9: wish I would sometimes you.
Speaker 1: Should never say that out loud because now you just
Speaker 1: put it in the universe and you're gonna be late
Speaker 1: for work tomorrow. It's awful when that doesn't happen to you.
Speaker 1: What's up, Jess, how you.
Speaker 2: Doing time on?
Speaker 5: Joe?
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Would you sleep through?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 11: Was my husband? Actually we were. I was in one
Speaker 11: of my best friends from my school wedding in Florida
Speaker 11: and I was a bridemaid, so I went in early.
Speaker 11: My husband slept through the wedding and a million phone
Speaker 11: calls from me because my bridemaids dressed the zipper had
Speaker 11: ripped open on the back and I needed a replacement dress. Well,
Speaker 11: he slipped through the wedding, so I had to kind
Speaker 11: of wrap a shirt around my back and walk down
Speaker 11: the aisle with my.
Speaker 2: Gosh, what time was the wedding? I'm sorry, what time
Speaker 2: was the wedding?
Speaker 11: It was like he had gotten really drunk the night before.
Speaker 11: It was like a four o'clock wedding.
Speaker 1: A four o'clock There's a difference between sleeping through and
Speaker 1: passing out, and I think he passed out.
Speaker 11: It was just kind of an emergency.
Speaker 1: But that's wild the wedding. The weddings are are big ones.
Speaker 1: A lot of people will end up falling asleep or
Speaker 1: sleeping through what they have to go. Could you imagine
Speaker 1: if you were the bridesmaid falling asleep and not getting
Speaker 1: to the wedding on time, your bride would be pissed. Kristin,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Kristin?
Speaker 7: Hi? So this was probably my second time, but I
Speaker 7: didn't get a first time long time. So I'm actually
Speaker 7: I take care of my two year old grandson and
Speaker 7: I was gonna start the dishes and turned on the
Speaker 7: sink to fill the sink to wash the dishes. And
Speaker 7: then he was crying. I put him up to bed
Speaker 7: and it was like, ooh, be super quiet. So I
Speaker 7: laid down in my bed, fell asleep forty five minutes, walked,
Speaker 7: woke up to the sound of a waterfall. No, but
Speaker 7: then I realized where I was and it was dripping
Speaker 7: into my basement and we are staying at my aunt's
Speaker 7: house and it is my aunt's house.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's that's the worst. Like I always
Speaker 1: worry that if I ever wanted to take a bath, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, the picture of me in a bathtub
Speaker 1: is probably not.
Speaker 2: The best thing ever.
Speaker 1: But I always think them I'm gonna die because I
Speaker 1: get so relaxed in the bath I would fall asleep and.
Speaker 2: Be like a Whitney Houston moment. I don't want that.
Speaker 2: What's going on? How you doing LORII? How are you?
Speaker 6: I'm doing good? How are you?
Speaker 2: We're doing all right? What's happening?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: Not much. I'm getting a liver transplant into two and
Speaker 6: a half.
Speaker 1: Weeks just for fun or what?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yes, I've been on the list for five years
Speaker 6: and I'm getting one.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 1: Do we know who the person is? Is it somebody
Speaker 1: that might listen to the show.
Speaker 6: They are staying anonymous.
Speaker 2: Wow, would you want to meet them? I would.
Speaker 6: I wrote them a thank you note?
Speaker 2: So they did they respond back to you on the
Speaker 2: thank you note?
Speaker 6: Not yet, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: That's going on.
Speaker 6: So I have been through so many tests in the
Speaker 6: last five years. I had to have an MRI, and
Speaker 6: you know how loud they are and you have to
Speaker 6: hold your breath and they tell you breathe.
Speaker 7: Hold.
Speaker 2: Look, I fell asleep.
Speaker 6: Having an MRI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I usually do too.
Speaker 6: Well. I know they're telling me to breathe and that,
Speaker 6: and they're loud, and I just felt sleeping there. You
Speaker 6: need to wake up.
Speaker 1: They want you to breathe in at points and that
Speaker 1: usually it's if it's not a person talking to you directly,
Speaker 1: it's an it's a recording and it's so loud and
Speaker 1: obnoxious that if you're like, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like they break out stuff like that. But I have
Speaker 1: to tell you, I tell you that's a good thing
Speaker 1: that you can fall asleep in an MRI, because a
Speaker 1: lot of people get claustrophobic and can't even go in it.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I just shut my eyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let us know how everything goes with your transplant.
Speaker 6: And by the way, this thank you.
Speaker 1: This is the first time that I've ever heard anybody
Speaker 1: on this show say shout out to new livers.
Speaker 2: You don't know what I'm saying. We need them. Where
Speaker 2: did you fall asleep? Bag In?
Speaker 12: I was in labor with my son.
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: Does that happen?
Speaker 8: So my son.
Speaker 12: I was forty one weeks when I had my son.
Speaker 12: So my labor was induced. And I mean, I'm not
Speaker 12: sure if like you've known anybody that's been like induced,
Speaker 12: but it's kind of a process and I would in
Speaker 12: labor probably for about six hours. At that point, I
Speaker 12: had an epidural because I'm I can't I couldn't even
Speaker 12: handle it. But I had an epidural and I fell asleep.
Speaker 12: I took a nap and everything. They woke me up
Speaker 12: and yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 2: Wow wouldn't that be amazing?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 1: You fall asleep and the babies there and you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about pushing.
Speaker 7: Oh you would think. So I had to have a
Speaker 7: c section.
