Speaker 1: Mojoe in the morning. So yesterday I was out and
Speaker 1: I ended up meeting a listener. Guy was a fan
Speaker 1: of the show, which was cool, and we were having
Speaker 1: a conversation and he said that he had seen that
Speaker 1: I was away last weekend and I was telling him
Speaker 1: about the thing that I did with my son. But
Speaker 1: long story short, I said to him, I go, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel bad we're talking about my weekend. How was
Speaker 1: your last weekend? And he goes, you don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about it? And I said, why is that? And
Speaker 1: he said that he was in weekend jail. He has
Speaker 1: on Fridays when he gets off from work, he has
Speaker 1: till six pm to check himself in, and Friday night,
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Sunday until Monday morning he has to actually
Speaker 1: go into jail. And I said, I didn't even know
Speaker 1: that that was the thing. I've known people that have
Speaker 1: to like go and blow into a device like at
Speaker 1: the courts or whatever like that. But he got himself
Speaker 1: into a little bit of trouble for drinking. And he said, no,
Speaker 1: it's more common than you think. I've gotten some bad,
Speaker 1: you know stuff over time. And he uses this analogy,
Speaker 1: which was good, and by the way real quick before
Speaker 1: I tell you his analogy, are there any other listeners
Speaker 1: that are in weekend jail? I kind of like to
Speaker 1: hear your guys stories, like I want to hear what
Speaker 1: it is that you, you know, may have gotten yourself
Speaker 1: into that got you into weekend jail. And I bet
Speaker 1: you that we would probably guess that a lot of
Speaker 1: them have to deal with some kind of drugs or something.
Speaker 2: I would assume because anything a lot of them as.
Speaker 1: You think, so d uys Well eight four four Mojoe
Speaker 1: Live or text nine five five zero zero if you've
Speaker 1: ever been in weekend jail. And by the way, it's
Speaker 1: not like going to the you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: the Higatt Regency or something like that. Weekend jail is
Speaker 1: definitely not the comfort to that, although they do clean
Speaker 1: their sheets more than I found out most hotels play.
Speaker 1: He said to me as an analogy, he said, weekend
Speaker 1: jail is like Saturday detention. You that I've been to,
Speaker 1: do you remember when you were a kid and you
Speaker 1: had Saturday detention a few times. Saturday detention was always
Speaker 1: the worst because you had to wake up early on
Speaker 1: a Saturday. Your dad or mom was pissed that they
Speaker 1: had to drive you. And then the other thing that
Speaker 1: they would get really upset about was they had to
Speaker 1: come pick you up and you had to do the
Speaker 1: clean up around the school. Yeah, you had to be
Speaker 1: the person to like pick up trash, to put out.
Speaker 2: The trash during attention, just your work. I never got detention.
Speaker 2: Attention was never like a real thing, I feel like
Speaker 2: in my school, but always always I used to get
Speaker 2: Saturday attention.
Speaker 1: Frequently asked me this some time, just sit in silence,
Speaker 1: really like the breakfast club.
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally just attention for a couple hours. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was cool. I loved that movie. What's going On? Sydney's
Speaker 2: on with us?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: You're there, Sydney. I, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3: So I am actually a correctional officer.
Speaker 4: So we call these people weekenders weekenders?
Speaker 1: So what gets you into weekend jay?
Speaker 3: A lot of different things, but I think it depends
Speaker 3: on what your job is. If you're not able to
Speaker 3: like actually leave but like.
Speaker 4: A d u y.
Speaker 3: Or just like kind of like little petty things like jaywalking.
Speaker 3: We had a girl there for jaywalking.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, no, they really wanted to get you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Jaywalking would get you in trouble and what are the
Speaker 1: accommodations like are they are they comfortable?
Speaker 2: Do you get a pillow or what do you get?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get your paddle, Oh my goodness, your pillow,
Speaker 3: your blanket. Usually we put them like in a separate
Speaker 3: area because they're only there for like the two or
Speaker 3: three days, so they usually don't get put in with
Speaker 3: like the higher security people.
Speaker 2: What happens if you don't check in?
Speaker 3: If you're not, there's a warrant out for your arrest.
Speaker 2: That's not good.
Speaker 3: And we have a few people that come in that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, you're not supposed to be drunk, and they
Speaker 3: come in and they'll blow numbers or be tested for stuff,
Speaker 3: and it's like, you know you do this every weekend.
Speaker 2: Hey, Sydney, do you get hit on a lot of
Speaker 2: times at weekend?
Speaker 5: Joe?
Speaker 3: Or Oh my goodness, I get I work both the
Speaker 3: male and female floors, and every day everybody I see
Speaker 3: the women.
Speaker 2: What what's some of the stuff they say to you.
Speaker 3: I had a guy tell me the other day He's like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I like your hair, it's so pretty, And I said
Speaker 3: things I grew it myself.
Speaker 2: What did the ladies say the.
Speaker 3: Usually they can tell when I wear makeups. It'll be like, oh,
Speaker 3: your eyes look so beautiful today, or like, oh, you're
Speaker 3: too pretty to be a CEO. It's like thank.
Speaker 6: You men do.
Speaker 2: Oh my god? All right, sat by Sydney. I gotta go.
Speaker 2: This is crazy. Hold on a second, Joe, what's happening Joe?
Speaker 7: Hey guys, good morning time, long time.
Speaker 2: What's happening.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 7: So I've talked to you guys before.
Speaker 2: I told you a little bit about my journey. I
Speaker 2: was nineteen.
Speaker 7: I went to Jack's County Jail for four months, and
Speaker 7: then I went to prison for almost five years. And
Speaker 7: not to lick at trouble sense, But when I was
Speaker 7: first in county jail, there was this one older gentleman.
Speaker 7: He had to be about sixty, and I noticed every
Speaker 7: weekend he was coming in. So one day I went
Speaker 7: and talked to him, and I forget what his name is.
Speaker 7: He was some doctor and he just refused to pay
Speaker 7: his wife's alimony.
Speaker 2: So it's the funniest thing.
Speaker 7: He's just like, I would rather go to jail every
Speaker 7: weekend for the rest of my life than to pay
Speaker 7: my ex.
Speaker 5: That is funny.
Speaker 2: That's funny. That is stubbornness at a level you can't
Speaker 2: even describe. If you had to live with that wife,
Speaker 2: I'd rather go to jail. What's going on, Travis? How
Speaker 2: you doing? Hey? What's up?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 2: How are you doing? We're doing good man. We're talking
Speaker 2: about people who have been in weekend jail. Dude. I
Speaker 2: just had to go through this. I got a DUI.
Speaker 8: I was being dumb and drinking. Actually it's my fourth one,
Speaker 8: so it's being really dumb. So I went in front
Speaker 8: of the judge and that's like a prison sentence, Dude,
Speaker 8: Like I've known people to go to prison for like
Speaker 8: five just ten years for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kim Small's by the way, you watch out, She'll
Speaker 1: put you in there in Oakland County.
Speaker 2: So I ended up I was.
Speaker 8: I had ended up changing my life and doing a
Speaker 8: couple of things that the judge was kind of impressed with,
Speaker 8: so he didn't want to put me in jail. Prison
Speaker 8: and uh so he actually told me that I could
Speaker 8: schedule my jail time that I had to do it
Speaker 8: within like the two years probation that I had h
Speaker 8: and I could like just tell him whenever I wanted
Speaker 8: to come in, I'd.
Speaker 5: Go in for the wheels.
Speaker 2: So I just did the weekends like all in a row.
Speaker 2: But wait, did you schedule it? I never heard you
Speaker 2: like would you do it right away or did you
Speaker 2: put it off for a little bit.
Speaker 8: So I was on probation, so as long as I did,
Speaker 8: I did it right away because I was like, man,
Speaker 8: I'm getting this over with. But he said I could
Speaker 8: like go into my probation officer and tell him what
Speaker 8: weekends I wanted to go to jail.
Speaker 6: And then.
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
Speaker 8: Man, Okay, so in the Skie and County, you don't
Speaker 8: get to going to bed, you don't get to going
Speaker 8: none of that. You're on like a concrete slab in
Speaker 8: the holding cell.
Speaker 2: So it was rowdy.
Speaker 8: I mean every person that came in was either addicted
Speaker 8: to drugs or drunk or so it wasn't really that
Speaker 8: much fun.
Speaker 1: Wow, Jans, Well, jail's not supposed to be comfortable. So
Speaker 1: hold on a second, Stephanie. You spend time in a weekend.
Speaker 2: Jail, is that right? I did?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, he's spent a couple of weekends when I
Speaker 4: was eighteen.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 4: Oh I got a couple of ip's, I got caught drinking. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Blue pretty high on the second one they put I
Speaker 4: started my freshman year at Central with an alcoholic tether on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do have.
Speaker 4: I have a little bit of a four years alcohol
Speaker 4: free novel.
Speaker 1: So I like to hear that, absolutely, Olivia, Wow, all
Speaker 1: these women on weekend jail there, I know, I have two.
Speaker 6: Actually, So I got in a car accident after a graduation,
Speaker 6: and when they ran my information, apparently I had warrant,
Speaker 6: but it was for something so silly. It was unpaid tickets.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I went to weekend jail for that.
Speaker 6: Yes I did, Yes, I did. And then the second
Speaker 6: time was I cashed a bad chicks.
Speaker 2: Yep, ye, so silly, both of those things. Yeahs.
Speaker 1: But but they must have thought that she was a
Speaker 1: little shady and needed toickets.
Speaker 2: You're getting in jail.
Speaker 1: I always believe that we hear maybe that much of
Speaker 1: the story. Sometimes I don't think that they just automatically
Speaker 1: throw you in. All right, Dangelo, what's up.
Speaker 2: Let's go the morning feeling the day the Angel. You
Speaker 2: ever been in weekend jail? No, not me, my uncle though.
Speaker 5: We just have to drop my uncle off every Friday.
Speaker 5: Man on Dickerson. And it was funny because when we

Speaker 5: jail or whatever. They all be standing out on the
Speaker 5: front smoking a cigarettes or whatever. Soon as you pull up, Hey,
Speaker 5: what's going to jail? You see all Sunday night.
