Speaker 1: It is the mojo in the morning show, Kevin, you
Speaker 1: met a lady that has the longest commute to and
Speaker 1: from work, and we may have to see if there's
Speaker 1: anybody that can compete with this. But what kind of
Speaker 1: commute is this? He's insane?
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: So I was at a target, I think it was
Speaker 3: in Birmingham, and there's a Starbucks in there. Before I leave,
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, let me get myself a medicine ball
Speaker 3: pop over there. And I'm having a conversation with the
Speaker 3: young lady and I can tell her voice is different
Speaker 3: than like the regular American accent. So I get in quizit,
Speaker 3: where are you from? She's like, I'm from Canada. And
Speaker 3: we started talking about Boxing day and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: Shannon has a husband named Wes. He's from Canada.
Speaker 1: We started talking.
Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, I'm from Toronto. Okay, Well, how long
Speaker 3: have you been living here? She's like, I don't live here. Okay,
Speaker 3: you don't live here. Where you live She's like, I
Speaker 3: live in Toronto still and I'm like, and you work here?
Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, six days a week, so you commute
Speaker 3: back and forth. Now he's like six days out of
Speaker 3: the week. She travels from Toronto to work at the Starbucks.
Speaker 4: No way, that.
Speaker 1: Was my thought.
Speaker 3: I literally, I'm like, there's no other jobs that are
Speaker 3: closer to you, or you can't live here, she says,
Speaker 3: in this economy is way too much for her to
Speaker 3: move here. She goes to school in Wayne State, and
Speaker 3: I think Starbucks in particular is like paying half of
Speaker 3: her tuish it okay, So she's like, I have to
Speaker 3: work here and drive home every night.
Speaker 1: Wait, so she drives every day or she lives here
Speaker 1: for six days a week, goes home for the week. No,
Speaker 1: she said, she drives.
Speaker 3: She says, she gets off so she said typically I
Speaker 3: was like, man, like what time do are you getting home?
Speaker 3: And like how long are you able to sleep before
Speaker 3: you got to turn on? That's terrible, she said. Typically
Speaker 3: I get home about three am. And she said, I
Speaker 3: don't have time to really like go to sleep. She said,
Speaker 3: I just freshen up, jump in the shower, basically do
Speaker 3: my hair real quickly.
Speaker 1: I gotta tw we explain something to me, though, How
Speaker 1: is it that? What is it drive to Toronto? It's
Speaker 1: like three and a half hours, it is I thought
Speaker 1: I took it. I did it one time.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's closer to four. Sometimes you could fly. Know,
Speaker 5: we we typically get there in like three and a half.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, that's what she's doing. Long drive. That's insane
Speaker 1: every day every day. And I thought people who drive
Speaker 1: from Detroit to Grand Rapids every single day was crazy.
Speaker 4: That's so that's it's another full time job of just
Speaker 4: driving crazy.
Speaker 1: She has the energy we had on the five to
Speaker 1: six fifty five the trucker. But he's a trucker that
Speaker 1: you know, drives.
Speaker 4: He had, he gets paid for his time to drive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people that do the long commute crazy.
Speaker 4: There's ten thousand million Tim Hortons in Canada college to.
Speaker 1: But there's more Starbucks, is what I'm thinking.
Speaker 5: But I get okay, so I do well. I mean,
Speaker 5: if she's going to Wayne State, so she's already here
Speaker 5: for that.
Speaker 4: But still that is.
Speaker 1: Eight four four Mojo Live eight four four sixty six
Speaker 1: five six five four eight. Who's got the longest commute?
Speaker 1: That's listening to us right now?
Speaker 4: Nobody's beating.
Speaker 1: I drove to the radio station for the party last night,
Speaker 1: and it took me an hour and a half. And
Speaker 1: I said to myself, sitting in that traffic, an hour
Speaker 1: and a half.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If that was my drive every single day, i'd retire
Speaker 1: or something. There's no way I had.
Speaker 3: I came at Michigan State yesterday. It's about an hour
Speaker 3: and twenty if I do it right. And how many
Speaker 3: games you do a year?
Speaker 6: See?
Speaker 1: Not a lot?
Speaker 6: Not a lot.
Speaker 1: It's like a handful. Would you do more if if
Speaker 1: they gave you more? Or is it tough for you
Speaker 1: because you got the pistons and stuff too? I would
Speaker 1: do more? Yeah, yeah, I would do that's a lot.
Speaker 1: It is a long time. I mean, and listen, I
Speaker 1: don't think you get rich doing that, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a good exposure for you.
Speaker 7: To do it.
Speaker 1: But it's fun, it's purpose field hold on saying, Erica,
Speaker 1: are you there?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 8: On there.
Speaker 1: Erica has nurses who come from Toronto and they do
Speaker 1: this every day.
Speaker 2: Yes, every day. I was at Kabanos Cancer Institute and
Speaker 2: a lot of my nurses came from Toronto. Shout out
Speaker 2: to them. And one of my nurses, she was so
Speaker 2: special to me. She put here to the tomato chips that.

Speaker 1: Shannon had those things.
Speaker 4: One is obsessed with them.
Speaker 1: Those things were gross. I tried one of those. I
Speaker 1: thought that they took all the preservatives out of everything
Speaker 1: that thing. I had more preservatives than that thing. That
Speaker 1: stuff gives you cancer. But yeah, that that's that's wild banded.
Speaker 1: The nurses, I wonder why they come in from there.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's uh not good nursing jobs over there.
