No gloss, no filter, just stories, spoken without fear. A person who is not generous cannot be an artist. The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers. Listen to my weekly podcast, the puja bhajjo on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty, stay for the fire. Alright, Mojo's secret sound for $13,000. I played the sound for you a bunch of times. I'll give it to you one more before I solicit. What is that sound? DFCU Financial, the cashback credit union in Mojo in the morning teaming up. We've given away a share of $20,000. We've already done $7,000 so far. Now it's 13, the remaining $20, $13,000 for just that sound. If you can tell us what that sound is, you win. 844-665-6548. I'll do it again, 844-665-6548. That's 844 Mojo Live. Call now with the sound for $13,000. After the dirty and after we play the contest and hopefully maybe give away $13,000, I want to announce our next big contest. It is Mojo Gives You a Baby. I'm excited for that so we'll do that after you do this. What's going on, Shannon? First weekend of Coachella, of course we're going to have some dirty, some stories to share. Would you want to go to Coachella? The right way. Not unless I was Kylie Jenner. I was going to say the right way. I don't know, I don't love that many people. I've been to Lala. So I've been to Lala Palooza. Lala Palooza I know is a fraction of the amount of people that are at Coachella. Coachella to me seems like it would be a more anxiety filled event for me because you're kind of off in the middle of kind of nowhere to the city. Yeah, yeah. Where at least Lala Palooza I can see like the buildings of Chicago. You can go home to your hotel room if you need to. The lineup of Coachella is way bigger than anywhere else. It's way better. If I had won some sort of trip or package to do it in a spectacular way, I'd be down. Incluencer trip. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so Sabrina Carpenter is who I want to talk about or focus on for this dirty. So she is saying I'm sorry after mistaking a fans Zagruda, which is an Arabic celebration call. I always I keep saying Lydia and Bianca do it so well because they do it on the show. Let's go to the Arab ladies on the show. Let's go to the Calzians on the show. Yeah. But she mistook it as yodeling during her set on Friday night and then proceeded to say some things that not that many people were really fond of. I think I heard someone yodeling. Is that what you're doing? I don't like it. My culture. My culture. That's your culture is yodeling. Is this burning man? What's going on? Quick question. Is that just a random thing? Like I know that Lydia and Bianca at Caldean weddings that I've been to, you know, that I've heard them get excited. That's like their exciting thing to do. But do you have like Caldean friends that just go to random concerts and just start going at the concerts? No, no. And also I think Sabrina Carpenter was about to do like a slower song where the crowd was silent. So I don't know why she would do that. So was the this person that was doing this, was she just doing it to try to get attention or what do you think? I think so because the crowd was quiet. And then once you do something like that, it draws attention. Right. Right. Well, people were offended nonetheless. And so Sabrina was like, this is this was not my intention. She tweeted an apology and part of it said, I didn't see this person with my eyes. Couldn't hear clearly. My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. I could have handled it better. Now I know what a Zagruda is. I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out. She's going to have a Zagruda song coming soon. How he says it. She said, she said, she's going to have one. She's going to watch. She'll start off the song with. Let me hear Lydia. Lydia does an amazing. Oh, teach us. I love it. For the second year in a row, Rory McElroy walking away from Augusta with one of those coveted green deck heads. Rory is a rare repeat winner at Augusta. Finish it 13 under secure to secure the victory. And I don't watch golf. I wasn't watching the Masters, but I heard that the leaderboard was crowded. It was. Did you watch golf? Does he watch the Masters at all? No, he didn't watch a bunch of birthday parties and stuff like that. I can I tell you something to me? It's the golf is boring to watch. The Masters is not. It is so beautiful, but it's also so exciting. It was the probably the most incredible thing to see Scotty Shuffler be virtually out of the thing, but then come back and finish second place. The guy is so good, but I want to go next year so bad. I wanted to go for years and I know that the people from Grayson are always down there. I know that Neil over at Carl's golf. I would love if Neil would I'm going to say this to you. I would marry the guy if he would get me into the Masters to be able to go and I'll represent Carl's golf. How could you pass that up? I will. The man, Neil, I will tell you that I will shine your brand new Yukon. If you can get me into the Masters, I want to go so bad. Well, Rory McElroy, this with this win, he now joins the coveted career Grand Slam Club, meaning he's won all four majors. The Masters, the U.S. Open, the Open and the PGA. It still fits, which is nice. My parting message last year was I can't wait to come back next year and put the green jacket on myself. I wasn't quite correct because the chairman did it, but I did. I did want to come back here and prove last year wasn't a fluke. I do love his accent. What's the best sporting event in the world? They say that they rank them. Right, Super Bowl. They say Super Bowl and then they say Masters is number two in the NCAA final four. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I think that when you look at it, all things considered, they say that as far as ratings are concerned, but also as far as the amount of people that are interested in it, they say it goes Super Bowl Masters NCAA March Madness. But I don't know, is there something that you would want to go to? Probably the Super Bowl. I think I mean, basketball is my favorite sport, but that's the best of seven series. So if I could say game seven of the finals, I would probably go to ad directs. How about next year with the NCAA Final Four and the championship game in Detroit at Ford Field? It's going to be incredible. I would like to host that on the court. Oh, yeah, of course. In the United States. Come on, we got to have Kevin be the host of that. That would be amazing. Best of Detroit. In other local sports dirties, speaking of Detroit, shout out to Kevin McGonagall, who crushed his first MLB home run for the Tigers over the weekend. That was a pretty fun day at the ballpark. It was a great time. I'm more happy that I was able to get the first one out of way in front of this great city and these great fans. You've been having such great at bats. I mean, was it it was on your mind? I guess it's always good to get that first one out of the way and just walk us through that at bat because you jumped on that first fastball. Yeah, so obviously saw him two times before and knew what it's here look like. You know, just being aggressive and that at bat and hoping I would get that first pitch fastball and I did and biggest thing is I didn't miss it. And Leslie Cardi B shutting down the rumor that she used to buy her own luxury handbags and pretend they were gifts from her husband at the time offset. That rumor is spreading online randomly and it suggests that she secretly paid for like her Birkins, for example, during their relationship. She pushed back hard on this. She said, this is lame. She has never been that type of person. She says, I've always been honest about what I buy versus what I've been given. And she's like, I do not need fake gifts to impress anybody. I buy my own stuff. She missed anything from today. So go back and catch up on the podcast on the free I heart radio.
