Kev has a question to ask about going over to somebody's house and what is the etiquette of doing what, Kevin? Boobling. Like first time going to somebody's house, is it okay to take a dump? Duty! Like you were going over as a guest. You're a guest hanging out at their house, they invite you over for what? Dinner or something? We had dinner, it was like a business meeting type of thing, but they prepare food. I wasn't the only one there, but I had to do it. You went to their house. Make a duty. The first thing you had to do was go duty. I walked into the crib and was like, hey, what's going on, bro? How you doing? I'm good, man. I got a duty. We're in the bathroom. Like literally. You told them, I'm not about to play. They're going to smell it either way. So wait, you go to their house knowing you have to duty. Why did you not duty at home? I was out already and I needed to be. So the meeting was scheduled for, I think, seven o'clock. So in my mind, I'm like, okay, I got this dude, this dude, this dude, drop Josiah off to his mom at like 630. It took me, I don't know, more than a half an hour to get from his house to where my meeting destination was. So I'm already running late. I don't got time to just stop off and go duty real quick. So I'm going to just do it there. See, I think you can't do that. I think you cannot go over to a person's house in duty unless it's an emergency and you have to duty. Like you can't walk into somebody's house and go, Hey buddy, how you doing? Can I use your bathroom unless it's peeing? And then it's got to be a quick visit. See, so the person lives about 20 minutes from me and I don't know really anyone else that lives in that area. So it was either go home and be 30, 40 minutes late to the meeting just so I could do it or go. Be five, 10 minutes late and do do there. What bathroom did they allow you to use for your duty bathroom? Whatever was on the first level. Okay, so they had because I always feel weird. Like if I go to somebody's, you know, condo or apartment and they only have a bathroom in their bedroom. Yeah, and I'm not going to go duty in their bedroom because I'm going to tell you something. Sometimes if I have duty, that duty is going to smell there until nighttime when they go to bed. They had a window. I cracked the window. They already had a candle burning in there. So who did it? I don't know. What do you think, Shannon? You know how I feel about this. Do not poop in my house. What if you got to go to Starbucks? Go to Starbucks. Yeah. I'm sorry. 844-MOJO-LIVE or text 955-00 and your thoughts on this one here. And has anybody ever had somebody a guest back up their toilet at somebody's home? Oh, see. That's embarrassing. How they react when you said, I gotta go. It was like, oh, it's fine going there. Do your thing. Like it was a seamless transaction. This was a business transaction? Yeah. I know the person, but I never been in a house. You do business with people that you call it a boo boo or whatever? Yeah, boo boo, I do all that stuff. This person is really thinking your business like, excuse me, I'm going to set up my laptop right here in the desk as I go boo boo. What's going on, Karma? How you doing? Hey, Mojo. Hey. He has to use the bathroom. That's what it's for. You go. Preach. Would you rather him stop at a gas station and take a dump there? Yes. You go to your friend's house. Preach. Maybe just don't announce it. I don't think you go do that though. The moment that you walk into their house though. What am I waiting for? Must I make you explode? He's telling him he has to go. I gotta go. Karma knows. I don't think you can do that though. I think it's rude, especially if you to business meeting that he's having. You know. Absolutely not. The bathrooms are for dear. I'm coming over to your house. Where do you live, Karma? Have a great day. What's up, Kelsey. How you doing? Good. What's going on? So my husband called it christening the house. You can't be the first person to christen that place. You got to let them if this is their new place. I agree with that That's funny that's his payment for helping them move What's going on him zoo? What's up him zoo? You know another day Nothing wrong with going to do people's house, but if I was scared I would just do do that Baby I had to go I didn't want to be super late to the meeting that was my whole thing I knew I was already gonna be late and I'm not a quick do to her You know, I mean I could pinch her run and here in the studio, but like does Josiah's mom let you go Crapping on your baby mama, I don't call her my baby mama, but no I know but still There's something there's something kind of symbolic about doing that I wouldn't You're you know, it's it's But you have an adversarial relationship if you're somebody in that relationship you just want to go take a crap right on them No, there's we are no longer adversaries. What's going on Christy? Hi, so I have a friend from high school and to this day I think she's been married for 20 something years to this day. She still leaves her home to go poo poo. Oh Oh, we'll not let her Where does she go to the bathroom like it's a gas station up the street or She's just got it she's got to just do that that is not for how many two decades crazy Yeah, some houses now do him and her bathrooms. Oh, I like that idea me too I think that's a great idea him and hers and so you don't ever have to worry about do doing you know around You know what you can't have though is that fan the exhaust fan going right to their bathroom They're still smelling the whole thing Ryan. What's up Ryan? Here was a mojo nothing much man. We're talking about Kevin taking a crap on somebody Okay, so this one time I was at a customer's house and the bathroom was right next to her bedroom So I know she could hear and I really had to go so while I was sitting there and I was pushing and it just came out like Came out of the bathroom after I came out of the bathroom I started acting like I was beatbox Oh my god, that might be my favorite call Zana what's up Zana? Hey, so last week I was at my friend's house and I had to poo so when I went to the bathroom Her toilet tank wasn't filling up all the way so I I Did the deal and then I went to go flush. I was like, oh my god. It's not going like only a little water came up, right? Yeah Look around in the bathroom for something and I open up the shower and I see like a big cup in the bathroom So I filled it up in the sink and I started filling up the sink Yeah, she was like, are you good? Are you good? I'm like, yeah, dude. I'm good. I'm good and I was like running. She didn't think you're good Yeah, she thinks when she heard the shower turn on You actually were taking a shower cuz it was so dirty You want to private because I had to fill it up in the sink You want to do something really funny next time that you're at a friend's house Go to the bathroom in their bathroom and then come out like in their bathrobe See what their reaction next time. Yeah Okay, I I hate that when people actually have a toilet that does not have a water that comes and fills back up again Cuz I want a double flush and the problem is you're waiting forever for that thing to refill back up Sometimes you do it prematurely and it does like the it's the worst half flush. Yeah, hold on a second Diza is on with us right now Diza you Gosh, I'm messing with everybody's names today. Daza. What's up? Hey, how are you good? What's going on? So it was years and years ago my fiancee and a few bloodies of his I think it was Alan and Nick and they Went to Vegas all sharing a room together and my fiancee decided to take a shit She goes she did wait hold on stop for a second I gotta wait for the delay to kick in here a little bit one second He had to go to go to the bathroom and not take a spit Okay, he had to go although that's pretty much what he was doing but go ahead finish your story and They had to leave the hotel to go buy a plunger because it started to overflow There's nothing worse than when you actually have to go that bad that you need a plunger Yeah What would you have done if you clogged this guys could you said it was a big duty? What would you do if you had that and the guy doesn't have a plunger in his bathroom? Would you ask him then for a plunger or would you scream out the door or what would you do? Would you get would you go in there with the hand Would you leave it for like the family to come get later or? No idea we have we have a bathroom that everybody uses it's the it's the family friendly bathroom that everybody uses when they're doing the things and I always make sure when I'm having especially you guys over a plunger sitting right there the one like right across from your front door Exactly because I always know Somebody's gonna clog this damn thing, you know because it's not the bathroom that you use on a regular basis I always go to my bedroom when I use the bathroom.
