Summary

The Mojo in the Morning show discusses Bianca's nut allergy incident that sent her to the hospital, and a humorous segment about her eating habits at friends' houses, which led to her friend's family installing a lock on their refrigerator. The episode explores broader themes about guest eating behavior, hospitality norms, and how families manage food consumption.

Insights
  • Social boundaries around food sharing vary significantly by household culture; some families embrace open-door eating policies while others implement physical restrictions
  • Severe allergic reactions don't prevent dedicated employees from continuing work responsibilities, highlighting workplace commitment and remote work flexibility
  • Eating habits and appetite levels are often misattributed to body size, with smaller individuals sometimes consuming more than larger ones
  • Unspoken resentment about guest behavior can escalate to extreme measures (fridge locks) rather than direct communication
  • Athletic/muscular individuals have higher protein consumption needs that can strain household food supplies when entertaining
Trends
Growing use of physical locks and security measures on household food storage as family management strategyShift toward remote work capabilities enabling employees to work from non-traditional locations including medical facilitiesIncreased awareness of severe food allergies and their immediate health impacts in social settingsGenerational differences in hospitality norms and expectations around guest food accessSocial media broadcasting during personal emergencies becoming normalized workplace behavior

Full Transcript
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. So Friday morning on the show, it started off right until Bianca over here decided that she was going to try to test her nut allergy that she has. And she was going to eat off of a tray full of beautiful things that Lydia brought in that had nuts all over them. I know. I don't know why I did that. Actually looking back at the picture of the tray, it was all nuts. It was covered. It was dates, all different dates that were covered in chocolate and cookie dough and. And more nuts, there were more nuts on top of the dates. The stashioes, yeah. And so she ends up eating this and within literally seconds starts feeling the effects of it. Are you nuts? And then ends up having to go get rushed to the hospital. The amazing thing with her, did you know that Friday's show when we were doing the show and we had all of us live on, what is it, we're live on? We're live on YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. Twitch and Instagram too. So in Instagram, so we're live on all of the platforms. She was running the controls from a hospital bed. Literally. For real. Is that unbelievable? I was like, Ayo one second, don't put the IV in yet. I gotta do this real quick. Can I tell you something? And you were in bad shape. I've had allergic reactions before. That was pretty severe Bianca. I've never had one like that bad. Like I couldn't even move my body. I was like this. Oh my. If Colleen's listening, can we give her the employee of the month parking spot here? That's what I want right in front of the door. That's like pretty unbelievable that she, you know, it's like goes to the hospital with her equipment is working from the hospital. And literally I looked back at my old videos cause it was a video of me literally eating the date. And I'm like, Lydia, does this have nuts in it? And she's like, I don't know. And I'm like, well, we're about to find out right now. I literally said that. I don't know why. But here's the thing, I'll eat anything. You will eat anything. I do eat anything. And I'm not scared to tell people when I'm hungry. So the other day when I was at my friend's house, I was like, hey, like I'm gonna go get some food. She's like, okay. I was like, all right, whatever, getting food. I walk into her fridge and her grandma is literally, like there's boxing out the fridge. What do you want in the fridge? What do you want in the fridge? Like a basketball player. Literally, boxing out the fridge. Just trying to block the fridge. Why have you been known in the past to eat out of the fridge and you eat a bunch of food out of there? Yeah, if I wanna go to my friend's house, I'm hungry. I'll help myself. Usually the grandma's not there. So I'm just getting my own food. But this time the grandma was there and she was blocking the fridge. And I was like, I just wanna get some food real quick. She's like, what do you want in the fridge? I don't know, I'm just looking to see what you guys got. They have like frozen chocolate chips. I always eat the chocolate chips. That sounds good. And she's like, we don't have those today. We don't have those today. So she literally pulled out a salad bag, like one of those $1 salad bags that you get for boys. That have like the mixed greens inside and you just gotta put dressing on top? No, just straight up lettuce. Straight up lettuce. Oh, straight up lettuce. And she's like, you can have this, we have this for you. I was like, God, I'm getting this. That's all you got. You know what's funny? I'd be so offended too, that we have this for you. But the interesting thing is, and I don't know if Lucy and Smith or I don't know Josiah, but I know Joe and Jacob and Luke have had friends that come over to the house and feel like they can like eat us out of house and home. Yeah, well, that's why it is in my house too. Are you that friend? Well, if you wanna eat at my house, then you can have whatever you want at my house. I understand that, but do you go to this girl's house all the time and do you eat out of her fridge nonstop? So the point that her grandma has to like, Well, I was eating a lot. I didn't know that the family was noticing. I was eating all the groceries, but came to a point where they had to start locking their fridge. They locked their fridge from the end. And you. So when I went there over the weekend, literally, there was a lock on their fridge. And I was like, what? Like what kind of lock are we talking about? Like a lock that you would lock your locker in school? No, it was like one of those bigger ones. You know, you have like the key. Oh, okay. Are you changing that now? It locks the handles like that. And she was like, we have fruit snacks in the pantry if you want fruit snacks. So I think they just got fruit snacks just for me. But I was like, this is like a little rude. A little rude or I don't know. Cause when people come to my house, here's the thing. I will give you whatever you want. It's like free range of my house. Like you can have whatever you want, make yourself at home, eat whatever you want. Right. But how much were you eating? That they had to put a lock on the fridge. I don't know, I'm not gonna lie. When I go there, I do eat the lock. She black out. She black out. I eat the lock. She's going crazy. If the munching started hitting, I'd eat whatever I want. I feel like summertime, my kids would, in their friends would eat us out of all kinds of, like everything. Like Chelsea, Chelsea could go to Kroger and buy $250 worth of groceries. And the next day, there'd be nothing but a bunch of empty wrappers. My mommy's the hide stuff, I remember. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah. I hear, let's open this up real quick. I wanna open up the phone line here for one second. I wanna know if there are any other people that have ever put a lock on their fridge cause their kids or somebody else in the family ate so much. Or are there any people that would like to call and complain about the Bianca in their life? The person that doesn't live in the house but comes over just to eat, who is that person? Like I remember we were making pancakes. I made pancakes. I made chocolate chip pancakes. That was another thing. They had cheez-its, they had ramen noodles. Is all the fun snack stuff? But then they had spaghetti that they made for dinner one time. So I was like, all right, but I'm gonna eat that too. I don't think they like that I ate their dinner leftovers. Do you think they told grandma about you? And that's why she was acting like that? Yeah, for sure. Or maybe the parents were complaining about me but they didn't wanna say it themselves or maybe my friend was complaining and she didn't wanna tell me. But if there's an issue, you can just tell me. You don't need to hide it. Make them feel bad, tell them they're fat shaming you by doing that. For real. Can I tell you that Joe played football one year at Notre Dame Prep and we had the entire football team come over. And I'm not kidding you when I say this, Chelsea went out and prepared by getting probably 28 bags full of groceries. Those kids ate everything in one night. I mean, everything. I'm talking like they made like 28 of those. What are those, the red, what's the pizza, the frozen pizzas? Red Berins. Jornos. No, red Berins. Red Berins. Yeah, they ate all these red. Oh, we had those too. We had red Berin pizzas. All right. Those hit. These kids ate 20 some pizzas. Like we had Costco size amounts. Sports kids different. These kids eat like just crazy savage. I know. Well, even sometimes when I'm on my own house, I'll be looking in the fridge. My dad's like, get out of there. You don't need to go in the fridge or he'll block the fridge too. He'll just do it just cause I don't need to eat so much. Tell him how much lack on a fridge though is next level to me. Well, she just didn't want me eating at her house. But at my house, my dad will tell me to stop eating. The funny thing, I've always been a big guy. You know, I've always been bigger. And people look at me like I'm the heavy eater. But I feel like the big guy is not the heavy eater. You know who it is? It's the little girl like Bianca. That's eating. I'm not a little girl. You could tell. I can eat. You guys know. I don't know. I'm not gonna say that. No, there's no. I ate all those dates too on Friday. You by the way, I will say this about you. The one thing I love about you and you're a dream for any guy that you go on a date and you'll eat. You won't order a salad and sit there and pick at it. I get the burgers. You're not like Shannon and go out to eat. Here we go again. Order one taco. Who eats one taco? I had already eaten, Kevin. I'm still there. For the 11th time hearing this story. Although Kevin, Kevin, you look at Bianca. You couldn't date a girl that ate like that, would you? Oh, it just depends. I mean, I don't know what I can't say. No, no, I'll be honest. I don't want to say, I don't know what, I don't want you to get the dumb button. I don't know what you're doing. Go ahead, talk. I'll just say yes. You would. You would. Why do you think that the girls that can eat like that are gonna be, okay, let's go to the next one. Amanda, hello Amanda. How do you further speaking yourself? By the way, that is a different cow. Hold on, hold on. I'm chilling, I'm chilling. Give it up for them. I'll grow up in one weekend. I'm chilling on them. By the way, our bosses and your pastor are listening right now. What's going on, Amanda? Hi, good morning. My parents, we had like a big walk-in pantry under our staircase, but all of the good trees, like the gushers and the cookie crisp and all the good stuff was a padlock in a cabinet. None of us could have a week and they had the only key. Wait, they put it in a separate like lock box like you would lock up like your valuables in? Yeah, it was the cabinet above the stove that none of us could reach. And they installed an actual lock and they had the only key. Bianca would figure out a way to pick that lock. Oh, I'd hack it. Do I search it? It had the gushers in there, I'm in there. Hannah, what's going on? It's Mojo in the morning. Hi. Hi, good morning. I just wanted to say my partner, he's like 240 pounds of muscle. So anytime we go really anywhere with either of our families, they always text me and say, make sure he has enough protein because if we don't, he'll eat everything. Like every single piece of protein in sight. You're kidding. Like when you guys eat, do you guys pass the plates around the table and make him last so it's not like empty plate at the end? Actually, yes. He waits until everyone serves themselves first so that he can just pile on what everyone didn't eat and then like no one gets second. Oh my God. I remember Chelsea making a humongous thing of lasagna. Okay, her, she made her mom's recipe of lasagna. It was the biggest fricking tray of lasagna gone in a minute by Joey and all of his buddies. I think Joey, Jed, all those kids from high school would come over and they would eat like a whole tray of lasagna. It sits in your fricking belly like a brick. What's up, Anna? Good morning. Good morning. The big difference is at Bianca's house, she's inviting people to eat her food. And from the story she's sharing, when you go to your friend's house, you invite yourself to eat their food. That's it, Bianca. There's a huge difference. That's what I'm doing. It is real. Bianca, you're not supposed to be just reaching into their fridge, right? She's got to ask for permission. Right, you ask, you don't tell in that situation. You know what I learned? You got to ask for forgiveness and not permission. Is that what you just said? That's the motto of the Mojo in the morning show. Well, I guess it's a perception, but in our family, it's come and make yourself comfortable, eat whatever my friends would eat. An entire case of ego waffles. You know what? I welcomed you into my home and I invited you to eat, but I certainly would be a little offended if they just- Is that like the 50 count ego waffles? Like that's 50 of them inside there. Yeah, he had four of his friends over and they ate the entire case. I was like, whatever, dudes. Growing boys. They're not that expensive. Any of these boys single? Bianca's looking for- I know. What's up, Jamie? How you doing? Hey, I once had a roommate who lived with us and they would put their name on all of the food in our fridge in the pantry. Yeah. And then eat all of our food and get mad if we were to touch anything of theirs. Bianca, how did you deal with roommates? Would you eat all their food? No, that's what we did. So in college, I was like telling my roommate, we should just share food and share groceries. And she was like, no. So she bought everything herself. She would label everything herself. We had like different sides of the fridge, but I would always eat her food secretly. She didn't know that, but now she does. But yeah, I was always munching, always. That's funny that you have to put your name on the food. Gail has to hide food from her kids and husband. Otherwise it's not there when you come home, right Gail? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, it's not my husband and I have to hide it from my two teenage boys. Oh, how my God. So where do you hide it? Where's your food hiding spot? Stopper. They will literally take everything out of the pantry, even if I'm like, hey, don't touch this. For me and your dad's for a lunch, please don't. I come back and I'm like, seriously guys? Please. Wow. And where do you go? Where do you hide it? Do you have like a special? I hide it in my bedroom and I had to put a new shoe. A new door knob on my bedroom door with a lock on it. And I have a camera in my bedroom because my kids are real for good things. Oh my God. Let me ask you, Gail, what is less hidden? Your food that you don't want them to eat or your sex toys that you have in that bedroom? Oh. You know what you need to do? You want your kids never to eat all your food, put your sex toys on top of the food and that's how they will never touch them. That's beautiful. Thank you guys. I love you guys so much. We love you.
