This actually is going to sound extremely weird, but we only had one commercial break. And less than, I don't even know, 20 minutes? And we're playing secret sound again. This is crazy. I'm not doing the dirty again. I just did the dirty, guys. Did I even write a dirty? I don't know. I did. Well, that scared me. I did. But we had such a backed up show. This is, you know, a log jam here. Like this is, you know what this is? This is like in school. You remember in school where they would say, Hey, we got a weird schedule today. It's like a half day. So we're going to do class like every 15 or normal classes an hour, but it's like a 10 minute class. I loved you'd get in the class and they'd be like, All right, we got to go to the next class. They didn't even pass stuff out. Like it was just basically high. What's going on? Goodbye. All right, secret sound. That is not a fire extinguisher. And you are not allowed to say any, by the way, don't the only person that can tell you if it's, if it's the right answer is going to be me, Zach or Lydia. Okay. I wouldn't dare do it twice. What happens if I take time off? If I think, if I take a morning off and kind of has to host this thing, do not let even him even know what the answer is. Mojo in the morning's dirty on the 30. All right. Your chance to win with secret sound 844 Mojo live 844 6656548. What do you got there? Shannon. Hi. Hi. So M&M just signed a contract with the Detroit Lions as quarterback. What? For one day. Oh, an April Fools joke. Oh my gosh. Complex Sports posted this. So of course that like went trending super, super quickly. But yeah, they even got, they even got a quote from him and ESPN's Adam Schifter quote unquote reported this. But yeah, I just saw also that DJ Chachi posted on his, he's the Pistons DJ that he has been traded to the Orlando Magic. April Fools. You know, this is not time to be traded from the Pistons. This is even though Orlando would be nice weather, but you know, hey, you want to stay with the Pistons right now. Did you guys see this story that went around last night about the husband of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem? No, I did. So his name's, his name's Byron. And he has been leading essentially leading a double life as a cross-dresser. And I hope that is an appropriate term. Please forgive me if it's not because I don't know what you're supposed to say. Not supposed to say right now, but the Daily Mail was the one that broke this and featured photos of, is it Byron or by, it's Byron? Jelana Man. Wearing like hot pink underwear, a skin colored shirt, and he had made it look like he had big, big, big fake boobs. It was like a prosthetics that he was wearing, right? Like like Martin Lawrence and Big Mama Sauce. Apparently he confessed on some sort of platform his lust for quote unquote, huge, huge, ridiculous boobs. A former CIA officer commenting on this and noting that Byron's alleged secret life could have potentially led to blackmail if Kristi Noem had continued to work for the Department of Homeland Security. She, because a lot of people were like, it's AI, it's AI, it's AI. No, she came out last night to confirm the authenticity of the image that I was talking about. And the statement is the family was blindsided by this. They asked for privacy and prayers at this time. The president responding in a statement as well. His statement said they confirmed it. Well, I feel really bad for the family. If that's the case, I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. It's too bad, but I just know nothing about it. It's interesting because she has been rumored to be having an affair with that Corey Lewandowski guy. Yeah. And there are a lot of people in the comments that are on that Daily Mail thing about the secret double life of Kristi Noem's husband Byron. There are a lot of people saying that they wonder if it's 100% true, even though there are those pictures, they see the pictures there. They're saying that they wonder if this is a way for her to explain the cheating that she's been doing. But there's no way that he would agree to that. Well, no, not even turn his reputation, but people are wondering if they are tarnishing him. So he, because he has not come out and spoke at all. So they're thinking that he, why would he sacrifice this over them? No, he's not sacrificing himself. We haven't heard from him. And a lot of people are thinking that they're, they're throwing this guy under the bus. So you're saying this was already known information in the family, but somebody specifically leaked it to take the heat off of her. What I'm saying is there are some people in the comments that are saying, we don't believe this until he comes out and speaks about this. We think that they are, you know, like you ever see that show scandal with Kerry Washington? It's like, it's like, Oh my God, she's cheating. We got caught. Guess what? We're going to hide the husband and we're going to make him look like he's been wearing women's clothes. And we're going to make it look like she's the innocent victim in this whole thing because her husband's doing this whole thing. Now we never hear from the guy ever again. If we don't hear from the guy ever again, I don't think that that's not a farfetched thing. They're trying to make her look good. He is not a public figure. Correct. So he doesn't need to make any sort of public comment about this. He doesn't, but you would want to hear, you know, maybe a comment of, okay, because I still think that she cheated on her husband and it looks horrible for this political party that is the, you know, party of integrity and stuff like that. You know what I mean? Like, you know, the idea that she was Homeland Security person and she's out there having a sexual romance with this guy. Like a colleague. Yeah. She's done other things. That's why she's not in her position. Well, obviously she did not do a great job with Homeland Security. But I'm going to do this story again, because this is big news, Megan Thee Stallion. And I don't have an update. If anybody's heard anything otherwise, please text us. Rush to the hospital after falling ill in the middle of her Broadway performance of Mulan Rouge, the musical. She's only, she made her debut a couple of days ago. Her run is supposed to last through mid-May. I don't know if she's going to be back, but had said she wasn't feeling well and then it got so bad she had to leave the performance. What did they do during the show? So they took her to the hospital for evaluation and then there's always an understudy that's ready to step up. That's part of the ensemble. Is there enough? I don't know what Mulan, I know I remember the song. I haven't seen that one, but yeah. There's always an ensemble cast and then there's always understudies just ready. So yeah. And then this Kit Kat story is so fascinating to me. So somebody for real stole 12 tons of Kit Kat bars. Hang on a second. I feel like I'm getting eight. And it wasn't me at Kroger the other day. By the way, do you know what I got called out for at Kroger the other day with this self scan? Yeah. I would. So when I self scan, I have, I two fist it and so I go, dude, dude, like that. Yeah. And the thing, the thing came up and showed a picture of me looking like I was stealing target recently. I'm like, I swear I'm doing them all. They said one at a time. Yes. Yeah. Fat man. So 400,000 Kit Kat bars. That's a lot. Clackin' in at 12 tons from a truck in Europe. These were stolen while this vehicle was running a route from a factory in central Italy to Poland. Yeah, we talked about, they can't find it. So now they're offering like a reward. Oh, they are. Okay. Now they're doing the reward thing. Yeah. Yeah. Lydia talked about that. And did you know that food theft is a big deal now? They had a bunch of crab and lobsters that were stolen. And they said in the news story that I played Shannon, that the reason why that's big deal is there's no QR codes or scans that you can do like with electronics. You can actually track it and figure out where this one you can actually go on Kit Kat's social media. And they've created a stolen Kit Kat tracker. And it lets you check if the Kit Kat you're about to eat is from the stolen batch and they want you to report it. How do you hide 12 tons of Kit Kat? 400,000. How do you even transport that? Real quick. I just got a inside job. I just got a text message here. The Detroit police department are out in front of the building. What car were you driving? Shut up. Don't do that to me. Please. I do have a ticket on my windshield. Do you really? Are you sure that's not an April Fool's joke? I hope it is. All right.
