Speaker 1: All right, it is Mojoe in the morning. Yesterday was
Speaker 1: really cool day. It was a really kind of humbling moment,
Speaker 1: but also one of those moments where you're like, I
Speaker 1: really am not saying this to be humble. I don't
Speaker 1: think I deserve what I'm you know, getting from, not
Speaker 1: only you know the people that came in studio, like
Speaker 1: Mayor Dugan who came in studio to say that he
Speaker 1: was going to give me the key to the city.
Speaker 1: He's only given three away and he gave him away
Speaker 1: to Wretha Franklin and Big Sean and ME like, to me,
Speaker 1: that's like, honestly, might be a moment of stupidity in
Speaker 1: this part.
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 1: But then afterwards to see the pictures that were posted,
Speaker 1: and I did read some of the comments that were
Speaker 1: posted afterwards, and then I actually had to put my
Speaker 1: phone down because it was tough, and I got a
Speaker 1: couple of things I wanted to talk about, and I
Speaker 1: was gonna mention this yesterday, and I know after we
Speaker 1: had the Mayor and I kind of touched upon it,
Speaker 1: but I was like, all right enough already we got
Speaker 1: to get a second date update and other stuff that
Speaker 1: we do on the show. I don't want it to
Speaker 1: become literally I feel like your funeral when you're listening
Speaker 1: to it on the air. For some reason, I always
Speaker 1: feel like it's not we're celebrating accolades. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's like we're celebrating a person that shouldn't be celebrated.
Speaker 1: In me, I don't like opening gifts in front of people,
Speaker 1: and it's funny. I love attention of being up on
Speaker 1: stage in front of people, and I love the attention
Speaker 1: of being on the radio. I don't like when the attention, though,
Speaker 1: is on me more so than me trying to bring
Speaker 1: laughter and fun to other people. You know, And I
Speaker 1: don't know if that makes any sense to any of you,
Speaker 1: But the last couple of weeks have been really kind
Speaker 1: of weird for me. I have been going through a
Speaker 1: little bit of a imposter syndrome in who I am,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot has to do with the
Speaker 1: fact that I've never got into do radio to do
Speaker 1: anything other than to not have a real job like
Speaker 1: this was honestly what I got into because I had
Speaker 1: a passion for it and I loved it. And anytime
Speaker 1: that I've had success, I've always said God gave me
Speaker 1: that success because you know, he, for some reason felt
Speaker 1: like this was something that I should have. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm great at what I do in radio. Matter
Speaker 1: of fact, I think there are people that are way
Speaker 1: better than me. Howard Stern doesn't even come like. If
Speaker 1: I saw Howard Stern, I would be like, I'm sorry, sir,
Speaker 1: I walked into the wrong room, you know. So long
Speaker 1: story short. When Chelse got diagnosed with cancer and we
Speaker 1: found out about that, I wanted to stop all this.
Speaker 1: I almost called Craig Kitchen, who is the head of
Speaker 1: the National Radio Hall of Fame, and I almost said
Speaker 1: to him, Hey, Craig, I'm going to take myself out
Speaker 1: of this. And a part of me was doing it
Speaker 1: for two reasons. Number One, I wasn't as optimistic, to
Speaker 1: be honest, on how Chelsea was going to be as
Speaker 1: I should have been, and she's been doing great, thank God.
Speaker 1: And I thought, there's no way that I'm going to
Speaker 1: go into this whole situation of the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: while my wife is battling for her life. And so
Speaker 1: part of me was going to cut that off before
Speaker 1: it even got close. And in the back of my
Speaker 1: head I was saying to myself, I can't go and
Speaker 1: do this whole celebratory thing when honestly, the focus should
Speaker 1: be on me trying to be a better husband to
Speaker 1: my wife who's battling through the hardest time that she's
Speaker 1: ever had. Going into this week is something that I
Speaker 1: feel like, right now I'm excited about, but a week ago,
Speaker 1: if you asked me about it, I did not want
Speaker 1: it to happen. Chelse and I talked on our We
Speaker 1: Don't podcast that was out yesterday about how we had
Speaker 1: a really bad fight last week and a lot of
Speaker 1: it was the stress and the pressure of what's been
Speaker 1: going on, and it's the first fight that we really
Speaker 1: have had in a long time, and it was purely
Speaker 1: on me of what was going on. But it was
Speaker 1: purely me acting out because I just don't feel like
Speaker 1: I want to be here right now. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if people can see what this analogy is like,
Speaker 1: but to me, it felt like, you know, how I
Speaker 1: had this happen with a relative. You have a wedding
Speaker 1: that's set in. Just before the wedding, the dad or
Speaker 1: the bride dies, Like, how do you have the wedding
Speaker 1: when the dad of the bride dies just before the wedding,
Speaker 1: And I know that that seems really drastic, but that
Speaker 1: was something that I have seen happen. Like I could
Speaker 1: never walk down the aisle as the brider or the
Speaker 1: groom and be celebratory knowing that my future wife or
Speaker 1: my actual person just lost my dad.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like the highest high happens as the lowest low happens,
Speaker 3: and you have to figure out how to let those
Speaker 3: two in your case, you have to figure out how
Speaker 3: to let those two live together, yeah, and exist together.
Speaker 1: And it's wild because I get that this is a
Speaker 1: happy moment, you know, in the case of the wedding,
Speaker 1: it's a happy moment to take your your you know,
Speaker 1: thoughts off.
Speaker 2: Of the sad thing that just happened. But it's not.
Speaker 3: Fair, you know, you don't forget about the sad thing
Speaker 3: that happened in the process of celebrating.
Speaker 2: The happy thing.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people would say, hey, this is
Speaker 1: a great way to This is a great way to
Speaker 1: honor that person by going and doing it.
Speaker 2: Same with this situation with me.
Speaker 1: Some people would say, this is a great way for
Speaker 1: you to honor your wife who has been there for
Speaker 1: you for you through all the years that you've been
Speaker 1: in radio.
Speaker 2: I've known Chelsea as long as I've been in radio.
Speaker 1: So I got into radio when I was in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety and I was a sophomore I think in college
Speaker 1: or junior in college or something like that time, and
Speaker 1: met Chelsea in nineteen ninety two, so I was two
Speaker 1: years out of radio. Chelsea's been part of my radio life,
Speaker 1: my whole life.
Speaker 3: That Hall of Fame award is have hers, Well.
Speaker 1: It's honestly seventy five percent hers, because she's because I've
Speaker 1: gotten so many accolades that she should have gotten. Because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times where I would wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning and did not want to come in
Speaker 1: here and she would basically push my ass out of
Speaker 1: bed to give me that. And I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you this, guys, this is a really weird time for me.
Speaker 2: Like this has been a weird summer.
Speaker 1: Started off with me in the shoulder thing, which is
Speaker 1: dumb itself, you know, falling downstairs at a bar. I
Speaker 1: recover from that Chelsea and I go take these you know,
Speaker 1: this MRI test and find out that Chelsea's got cancer.
Speaker 1: Actually before that, I get to call from the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame people, and that was like the crazy exciting moment.
Speaker 1: You saw my reaction to that whole thing. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: Then Chelsea finds out that's just cancer. Then we go
Speaker 1: deal with that. You know, It's like it's just ups
Speaker 1: and downs. I feel like I'm on a goddamn Cedar
Speaker 1: Point roller coaster right now, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm at the top right now coming down or if
Speaker 1: I'm coming into the station. And they're saying riders stay
Speaker 1: seated until the ride takes a you know, complete stop.
Speaker 3: It's like you're you're emotionally exhausted, but in two days
Speaker 3: you need to like really pep yourself up because this
Speaker 3: is the accolade of a lifetime in this career. And
Speaker 3: I said this to you yesterday. I feel like part
Speaker 3: of the celebration this week has to be that one
Speaker 3: Chelsea is thank God okay, and also celebrating Chelsea as
Speaker 3: part of your your road ticketing where you are and
Speaker 3: if I know her, she would be And I didn't
Speaker 3: listen to the podcast yet about this, but like she
Speaker 3: wants to celebrate you, so she wants you to celebrate you.
Speaker 1: She does, and she wants me also to start really
Speaker 1: using this as an opportunity to focus on me saying
Speaker 1: no to things that have really stressed me out.
Speaker 2: You know, I take on a lot.
Speaker 1: In the last month and a half to two months,
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of stuff that keeps coming up,
Speaker 1: and aside from even Chelsea, and I can't do it
Speaker 1: to myself physically, you know. And I think that in
Speaker 1: certain regards, there is a level of me going I
Speaker 1: don't want my career to end, and I feel like
Speaker 1: this is almost like a definition of career ending when
Speaker 1: you go through a thing where you're getting into a
Speaker 1: Hall of fame. Like I almost like I'm that I'm
Speaker 1: still alive to see this happen and to see the
Speaker 1: moment happen, but I almost kind of wish that I
Speaker 1: didn't have it happened because I got, I think, plenty
Speaker 1: more time less.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but look at Ryan Seacrest. He got
Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame and then added like twenty
Speaker 3: seven jobs.
Speaker 2: That's true, No, that's true.
Speaker 1: But I mean, in all fairness, I don't know if
Speaker 1: this an anything I just said makes any sense to anybody,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to tell you that.
Speaker 2: It's been tough. It's been a tough couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: It's been really tough summer, and it's been one of
Speaker 1: those ones too, where you've like, I feel like God's
Speaker 1: given me too many blessings and it's like he's got
Speaker 1: to stop and move on to somebody else. And I'm
Speaker 1: afraid that he's going to because I don't want my
Speaker 1: blessings to ever end. But I feel like I've had
Speaker 1: too much, Like the like I prayed so much for
Speaker 1: Chelsea and I basically said, you know, God, no, I've
Speaker 1: asked you for so much and your tank is probably
Speaker 1: getting low on me. But take anything else besides my
Speaker 1: kids away and my wife away, you know, because I
Speaker 1: really don't know if I can ask you for anymore.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have that happen to you where you
Speaker 1: just feel like you're constantly asking please, Lord, you know,
Speaker 1: be there for me absolutely?
Speaker 2: But counted all joy, bro yea counted all joy. I
Speaker 2: need a quote from you or something from you.
Speaker 4: I mean, as you were talking about like the highs
Speaker 4: and lows, I was like, it reminded me of like this.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a Japanese proverb, but it's
Speaker 4: a situation where like this guy had like a bunch
Speaker 4: of horses, and then his horses like ran out the stable.
Speaker 2: He was like, oh man.
Speaker 4: After his neighbors came over and told him, and then
Speaker 4: the next day he sent his son. Now his son
Speaker 4: found two horses and he was like at a high, like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I got two horses. Then his son
Speaker 4: was riding the horses and one of the horses knocked
Speaker 4: him over. He broke his leg and he was like,
Speaker 4: oh man, like this is the lowest of the low.
Speaker 4: And then the next day the soldiers came drafting for
Speaker 4: the war. But it's not had a broken leg so
Speaker 4: he couldn't go. So it's back to the highest of
Speaker 4: the highest. It's just you never really know why something
Speaker 4: is happening and just count it all joy because you
Speaker 4: have no idea. And that's that's where faith comes in,
Speaker 4: because faith isn't the absence of reality, is just the
Speaker 4: belief that God can change it. Yeah, and lean into that.
Speaker 4: You're not like you're receiving everything that God has for
Speaker 4: you and it will be never enough because He can
Speaker 4: always do more. Just be appreciative of where you at, bro.
Speaker 4: But the reality is what you're feeling is real, and
Speaker 4: that comes from a real place, but through your realness
Speaker 4: and through talking about it, it can help and heal
Speaker 4: other people because we are humans.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, that's all going through stuff.
Speaker 2: It doesn't stop here.
Speaker 5: Like you, I think, have this time to enjoy this week,
Speaker 5: but then you have the rest of your life to support.
Speaker 2: Chelsea in a way that she needs to be supported.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I appreciate you guys for all the things
Speaker 1: that you know Shannon and Kevin and Anna have just said.
Speaker 1: But it is in Mandy too, who wants to say something. Mandy,
Speaker 1: you were like first to call. I could see the
Speaker 1: phone ringing right away you when I started bringing this up,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 5: Well, mine's definitely not nearly as deep as yours. I
Speaker 5: was just comparing that. I also do not like any
Speaker 5: attention on me. I have no problem helping other people
Speaker 5: coordinating things, running weddings that my friends are didn't even
Speaker 5: plan anything like that. But I despise having any attention
Speaker 5: on me, any photos of me. I hate every second
Speaker 5: of it. So that was what I first texted in
Speaker 5: and you guys.
Speaker 1: Can I can I tell you that Chelse thinks I'm
Speaker 1: full of crap when I say I don't want the attention,
Speaker 1: but I really don't like opening gifts. Like I'm not
Speaker 1: a person that likes to open gifts. Believe me, I
Speaker 1: love attention. I want the attention. I want to m
Speaker 1: see everybody opening the gifts and make fun and joke.
Speaker 1: But when somebody gives me something, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I would rather be the giver and then the receiver. Yeah, rob,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 6: Rob? Hi?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 7: I want to say congrats, I'm the king or the
Speaker 7: key to the city.
Speaker 8: Thank you for the last twenty years.
Speaker 7: But I don't mean to quote a celebrity that I
Speaker 7: kind of not necessarily idolized. But Tom Hanks, he brought
Speaker 7: up a phrase, he goes, this too shall pass.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, But honestly, thank you for everything you Chelsea Shannon
Speaker 8: y'all put on a voice for the majority of Detroit.
Speaker 7: I'm actually on my way up to Marysville for here
Speaker 7: on for a job, and I want to say thank you,
Speaker 7: thank you for everything that you guys have been through.
Speaker 2: Good. Is it a new job or you interviewing for
Speaker 2: a job. What are you doing?
Speaker 7: I work with I work with a construction company ery
Speaker 7: in primary cable and it's we just go all over Michigan.
Speaker 7: But I listen to you guys every morning and honestly
Speaker 7: thank you for everything that you guys.
Speaker 2: Thanks, thanks Rob, thank you buddy for what you do.
Speaker 2: And be safe today. Man. What's up, jeff I, how's
Speaker 2: it going? Good? Buddy? What's going on? What'd you want
Speaker 2: to say?
Speaker 6: Well? I wanted to say that I feel exactly where
Speaker 6: you're at. I left a six figure job for my
Speaker 6: wife five years ago, or sorry, fifteen years ago, when
Speaker 6: she found out she had breast cancer. Don't give up
Speaker 6: what you're doing. Don't give up your spirits, sir. You've
Speaker 6: been a blessing to many people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you you left it because you knew you had
Speaker 1: to spend the time with your wife.
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't a question. And there you know there there,
Speaker 6: I knew there was enough money to stay home. My
Speaker 6: boss gave me a five thousand dollars check when I
Speaker 6: walked out of the truck that I was an over
Speaker 6: the road truck driver for FedEx Custom Critical. I delivered
Speaker 6: pharmaceutical loads. Actually, but nothing can take away the joy
Speaker 6: that you show somebody or how they receive it. It's all
Speaker 6: a how you present yourself from the day forward. When
Speaker 6: you guys.
Speaker 2: Found out, you know what is amazing? And how is
Speaker 2: your wife?
Speaker 6: By the way, she passed away five years ago. Man,
Speaker 6: this is the guy that was in love with Megan.
Speaker 2: I remember that. Actually I remember you.
Speaker 1: You calling that too long after you you lost your
Speaker 1: beautiful wife.
Speaker 6: Yes, And since then I've been going to uh wal
Speaker 6: Martin handing out roses, telling every woman that I come across,
Speaker 6: that every woman deserves to smile for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 6: And there's been half hour cry sessions with people.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: A few months ago, I ran I come across the
Speaker 6: lady that had just lost her husband and said that
Speaker 6: she so much needed that and felt that it was
Speaker 6: a gift from him.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but there's something about
Speaker 1: this person who is your partner going through you know,
Speaker 1: a battle like that, that you like, I've gone through battles.
Speaker 1: You know, I've gone through my hard stuff and and
Speaker 1: and you know illnesses. You when you feel you feel
Speaker 1: more helpless, don't you when it's some when it's the
Speaker 1: person that.
Speaker 6: You're oh yeah, because there's nothing that you can do. Unfortunately,
Speaker 6: cancer is a mutilation of the body that cannot be solved.
Speaker 6: That's why, honestly, we will never truly have a tear.
Speaker 6: We can put it to sleep, but unfortunately we will
Speaker 6: never have a cure for it. It's like a cockroach
Speaker 6: that can survive anything.
Speaker 1: And you feel probably better than ever that you quit
Speaker 1: that job because you got to spend more time with her.
Speaker 6: Oh, I spent a full year at home before I
Speaker 6: go back to work.
Speaker 2: Good for you, Jeff, thank you for the call.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Yes, have yourself a wonderful day and give Kelsey hugs.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, buddy. That's that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that he lost his wife, but she's
Speaker 1: definitely there with him, uh in loving on him all
Speaker 1: your voice disguise.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 9: Hi, Ojoe. I'm gonna try to get through this without crying,
Speaker 9: but I'm already crying because of everything that I just heard.
Speaker 9: But I wanted to tell you have been such a
Speaker 9: staple in this community and when you were going through
Speaker 9: all of your heart stuff. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: The phone is echoing.
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
Speaker 9: I bet you guys, Okay, yeah, sorry, I just yeah,
Speaker 9: it's still echoing, but talking.
Speaker 2: Hello. There you go, Yeah, yeah, there it goes.
Speaker 9: So you have been such a staple in this community,
Speaker 9: and when you were going through everything with your heart surgery,
Speaker 9: the community came together and was praying for you. And
Speaker 9: you have no idea what you mean to us. You're
Speaker 9: not just accepting this award for you and Chelsea, like
Speaker 9: you're accepting it on behalf of everybody who has listened
Speaker 9: to you. You have literally saved so many people with
Speaker 9: what you have done on the radio, getting up at
Speaker 9: five in the morning, the late nights at the bars,
Speaker 9: like you've just done it all. And I know what
Speaker 9: you went through with Chelsea was very traumatic, but understand
Speaker 9: something you have went through something so traumatic that you
Speaker 9: kind of almost felt disassociated from life because you just
Speaker 9: felt like it wasn't real. And sometimes we self sabotage
Speaker 9: because we feel like we're not worthy, but like you are,
Speaker 9: like Mojo, You're so amazing, and you know when they
Speaker 9: talk about the highest of highs and the loads of blows.
Speaker 9: I caught my husband having an affair red handed while
Speaker 9: I was having a baby, and it was the worst
Speaker 9: feeling in the world. And now I'm like a single mom.
Speaker 9: I struggle so much, but it's one of those things
Speaker 9: where it's like you go on vacation and you come
Speaker 9: back to reality, right, And that's what you're probably gonna
Speaker 9: do when you accept this awards. So all the tears
Speaker 9: and stuff and the emotions that you're feeling, it'll be
Speaker 9: there when you get back. But you need to be
Speaker 9: present in the moment of accepting that award because you
Speaker 9: deserve it. Like we literally all adore you, we all
Speaker 9: love you, and you're worthy of it and you're you're Ie.
Speaker 9: Just a quick story, when I was getting beat by
Speaker 9: my ex husband, I would literally play your podcast because
Speaker 9: I forgot about my problems. I would literally just play
Speaker 9: you guys and listen to War of the Roses and
Speaker 9: all this stuff just to forget about my problems. So
Speaker 9: accept that awards. Forget your problems for a minute, and
Speaker 9: just accept it because you deserve it. You're so important
Speaker 9: to us in this world, like all of you guys
Speaker 9: at the radio station, you just really like you make
Speaker 9: us forget our problems, and we hope that you just
Speaker 9: know how to do that for a minute when you
Speaker 9: accept this award because you deserve it. You literally are
Speaker 9: so amazing and we love you, and I'm sorry for
Speaker 9: all that you're going through, but just know that everybody
Speaker 9: in the world is going through highs and highs and
Speaker 9: lows and lows. But we'll get through it. We always
Speaker 9: do right, like we always do.
Speaker 2: Elle, I cannot listen. I don't know.
Speaker 1: What you've gone through is way worse than anything that
Speaker 1: I've gone through, the idea that somebody would do that too.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, and I'm happy that the show was
Speaker 1: able to get your mind off of things. And I
Speaker 1: hope that you are knowing that you are worthy and
Speaker 1: uh there are there's there are people out there that
Speaker 1: do care about you.
Speaker 9: Thank you. I just you know, I want you to
Speaker 9: know how I loved you are like you can even
Speaker 9: if you retire, like we're still going to stop you.
Speaker 9: We're still going to.
Speaker 2: See what you're well, what you're doing than you. I
Speaker 2: love you. Just take care of yourself that story.
Speaker 1: Thanks al, love you, take care. Oh my god, lydia
Speaker 1: forewarned me before I pick up lines.
Speaker 2: I didn't know she was going to do all that.
Speaker 1: Wow, but that was unbelievable. I mean she had to
Speaker 1: get it off though.
Speaker 2: Can I she was nice?
Speaker 1: Can I be honest with you when whenever you hear
Speaker 1: those comments from people that say that they're going through
Speaker 1: the worst moment of their life and they listen to
Speaker 1: our show. Doesn't it make you sit there and say,
Speaker 1: oh my.
Speaker 3: God, like I don't feel like I do truly I
Speaker 3: feel that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody in the comments, the text messages, the calls,
Speaker 1: the comments on social media. I got to tell you
Speaker 1: that again, this was one of those things where, and
Speaker 1: I think all of us speak for this. We didn't
Speaker 1: get into radio because we wanted to be anything that
Speaker 1: we're getting accolades for. We got into radio because we
Speaker 1: wanted to do something that was going to be fun,
Speaker 1: and we wanted to give back a little bit, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like make some people laugh. And
Speaker 1: the idea that people do listen to the show to
Speaker 1: me is always awe inspiring. Like I think that it's
Speaker 1: wild that we even have twelve listeners. And that's why
Speaker 1: we used to do back in the day, used to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we only got twelve listeners, because we used to sit
Speaker 1: there and saying, maybe we're just worth twelve people that.
Speaker 2: Might like nothing else to do.
Speaker 1: And when you hear what the show has done over
Speaker 1: the years and what we personally have gotten out of this.
Speaker 1: I mean our families, our friends, you know, lives, great
Speaker 1: people through moments that have been tough. I could not
Speaker 1: imagine doing anything else. And honestly, that's the awards that
Speaker 1: we get. That truly is the award.
Speaker 2: That we get getting to come in every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, believe me, all right, it is Mojoe in the morning.
Speaker 1: Does it amaze you? Then when you listen to a
Speaker 1: radio show and you hear them and they're doing, honestly,
Speaker 1: like something that's as simple as just a horoscope, and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, you have this platform.
Speaker 1: Like this is it you could actually really help a
Speaker 1: woman go through And maybe that horoscope is one of
Speaker 1: the things that does help somebody go through something. But
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, the stuff that we do on the
Speaker 1: show is like so wild that it generates people to
Speaker 1: feel like, hey, they're.
Speaker 3: Just like me, you know, Can I say something really
Speaker 3: really quickly? I had to do it engagement for my
Speaker 3: alma mater. I went to Butler University in Indianapolis. But
Speaker 3: the engagement happened, or the speaking thing happened at the
Speaker 3: Detroit Athletic Club after the show on Friday, and one
Speaker 3: of the questions that one of the students asked was
Speaker 3: about AI and AI in this business and do we
Speaker 3: feel threatened by AI in this business? And I said
Speaker 3: exactly what you just said. I don't think that a
Speaker 3: show like ours could ever be replicated by AI because
Speaker 3: we try so hard and we make it our mission
Speaker 3: to come in here every day and be vulnerable and
Speaker 3: connect and relate with people a person to person and
Speaker 3: share those stories so that if somebody is listening and
Speaker 3: on their way to something that you know is no fun,
Speaker 3: or on their way to something that's wonderful, that they
