Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we called for a family meeting. And in
my house, whenever we say family meeting, everybody's got to
come down.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
They've got to put down their devices.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
So I'm asking everybody devices closed, close them up. Everybody
like move your things, but ba ba ba boom boom,
okay move them in or whatever. And everybody also in
our family meetings that we have, uh, nothing is to
be at all taken in a personal way during this
(00:31):
family meeting. And if anybody needs tissues, we've got tissues.
If you know, anybody would like to leave for a moment,
you can leave for a moment, but you got to
come back.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So that's kind of the rules in our house.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
So this ready, we've had it before where we've had
family meetings where my kids are like, I need a
break for a second, I want to go outside, And honestly,
it's sometimes it's good, right yeah, yeah, So that nothing's
you know, it's said that ever can never be taken back.
So just not that long ago, I had one of
(01:09):
the members of the show come to me and come
to Tony and tell me something that kind of floored me.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And when they.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Told me this, I was I was shocked, but not surprised,
if that makes it sound weird. I knew that something
was kind of coming up and something was bruin, but
I didn't think that it was going to get to
the level that it got to. A member of the
Mojo in the Morning Show came to me and said
that they wanted to resign from the show, and their
(01:41):
hopes were that they were going to leave the show
but also wanted to leave radio. And we're here to
announce that this morning on the show, Megan Mick has
turned in a letter of resignation. I actually did officially
finally read it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
By the way, feel so formal, does it?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I read it was very formal, and honestly, I know
that that's kind of like the the thing, which is
funny because I don't think I've ever had a resume,
nor have I ever resigned from the job without going, hey,
by the way, I'm leaving for another.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Job, so neither have I. I had to google how
to write a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I might have helped, might have helped, might have But
in true fashion, if you read it, I did get
the date wrong on it.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Again.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I just if you look at the day and like
the day of the week and the date they don't
match on the calendar, but.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, Y'm joking, let's get into well Megan, Meghan came
Tony and I and said that she she wanted to resign,
and Megan, I'm gonna let you just kind of take
it from there, and we're obviously going to uh have
questions for you for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And first things first, my goal in my career and
my life was to get here, and I am so grateful,
so grateful for the experience I've had getting to be
here and work with you guys, and this is truly
the best of the best, hands down. A big part
of the reason why I am leaving the industry altogether
(03:09):
is because nothing's going to get better than this. I
am fully aware of that and super grateful for this experience.
I've said this to you, I said this to all
of us because shocking we as a family have dabbled
in this topic just a little bit, and.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
This is the peak.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Like getting to this show, to work with you, Mojo
and to the entire team here has truly been the
greatest opportunity of my life, and I'm very, very grateful
for that. I am just wanting to step away from
the industry just in general. And I've been doing this
(03:50):
for so long. I grew up, especially with the people
who listen on I two five, because if I'm in Toledo,
I started on that radio station when I was.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Eighteen years old.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, you heard me start as an idiot and not
really grow or learn at all. I'm ending as an
idiot as well. But it's been fun and I I
just need a little bit more privacy in my life.
And I'm chasing after some different dreams. I think a
lot of times I talked with my therapist like I
had a life to do list, right, and like I
(04:21):
hit those to does and now I'm ready to hit
the next set of to dos. And I'm really really
grateful to work with you. I love you guys so much.
I really don't want you to think that it's like
ill will or I had this terrible experience. That is
not the case at all. I'm just I'm ready for
some new challenges.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
When Megan said those exact words to Tony and I
left the room, and I think I sent you a
text and told you I love you.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You did right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Away, and I processed it and then called you later
that evening, and I tried to talk her out of it.
I tried to basically say to her that, you know, hey, okay,
why don't take some time to think about this and
you would kind of told me some things that and I,
(05:14):
by the way, we appreciate everything you say about this
is the pinnacle and stuff. I said this to all
of you guys. I don't think this is the pinnacle.
I really don't. I think every day of your life
you're in a pinnacle and every day you're going to
get better. And where I don't think that you need
radio or I need radio, or any of us need
(05:34):
this career. We could do anything, and we I think
would flourish. I think we're all quality people. You know
those people though, that are so good at it, and you're,
like God, you were meant to be in this position
and where I'm sad to see that you are doing this.
I am praying that you rethink this and rethought you know,
(05:57):
this whole thing before we even made announcement, and you
still could rethink it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Megan, for those that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Don't know, and I don't know how much I'm allowed
to share, but I'm not your boss. Tony is and
Colleen is. Megan's under a contract and she is under
contract for what another year and a half or something
like that, and the company, you know, Tony had to
go to the company and basically say hey, we need
(06:22):
to think about this and unwind it. In their first
thoughts as a company is they got to protect them
in their company, and they say, well, what does Mojo think?
And when they called me to ask me and they said,
well what do you think? And I said, I think
that there's nothing I can do to keep for her,
and there's nothing that I would want to do to
keep somebody that didn't want to be here. And I
(06:45):
want you to do what is going to make you happy,
but I also want you to be happy.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Yeah, So when did you lose your joy in radio?
Because you said you've been in this thing for fourteen years.
When did it become a point where it wasn't either
fun for you or you didn't feel like or you
feel like you reached a cap I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
If I think I lost my joy. I think I
just have new passions that I want to.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Explore, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Like you can be like you can say I did
what I wanted to do, What's next?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So E feel like you did what you wanted to do?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What and I want to get into the what's next
for you in a second, But did did it play
a part? What social media has kind of done the things?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's where I kind of I joke
and say I'm looking for more privacy. I've been so
grateful to share my experiences with people. I want to
make that very clear there. I don't regret my experiences
in choosing this career, Like I'm super grateful that really
(07:56):
our listeners have normalized so much stuff that's gone on
in my life, like anytime there's been a big life
event that I'm not really sure about, Like it's really
nice to come here and hear perspective from people who
care about us, Like that is the best thing you
could ask for. But I think sometimes there is a
huge lack of privacy in our lives with this job.
(08:16):
And I am now thirty two and I've been doing
this since I was eighteen, Like I would just like
a little bit more to be left to.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Did it reach you just a boiling point or did
like was there I don't know something that happened, or
like when did it start becoming too much for this
social media.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What fourteen years ago?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Uh, I think it's always been very difficult, and I
think there just becomes a point in your life where
you're like, oh, this, this doesn't satisfy me anymore, you
know what I mean, Like it costs too much on me.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
That I'm like, I have you ever had that moment
where you're like, I'm not even going to think of
what I'm going to say when this happens, because it's
probably not going to happen, And now that it's actually happening,
I'm like at absolute freaking loss for words. That is
what makes this better for me, and I hope for
people listening who you have impacted so much and love
(09:20):
you so much, is that Selfishly? When I found out
about this, I was like, well, no, like, you know,
she's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I love you absolute pieces.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
But at the same time, you have to take a
step back and go but this is what she wants
to do. This is going to make her happier. This
is the next step, you know, to her living her life.
And that's the only thing that I'm like, Okay, even
though I want to trap you in here, I know
(09:55):
that there is more that you want to do so
and I'm not, like.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, I've fully appreciated all of our experiences here and
all of the amazing opportunities we have had to do
some really cool things. Listen, I love you, Toledo, but
I'm gonna get nerdy here for a second, just for
Mojo's sake.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Like in radio, there are different market.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Sizes, right, and like Toledo is a smaller market and
there's not as many opportunities there, and I love that city,
don't get me wrong, But like I think jingle Ball
is a great example.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Jingle Ball doesn't go to every city in the country.
It goes to a few, and.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Like being able to be backstage and be at that stuffer,
go to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Like I understand, not
having those experiences again is going to be really tough.
Not being able to like do stuff with you guys
because I love you so much and like have those
really fun experiences is going to be incredibly difficult. But
I'm so grateful that we had them all. Oh my god,
(10:54):
I had an absolute blast. I want to make that
so freaking clear. I had a blast doing this. I'm
just ready for the next thing.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Was there.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I don't have my devices open because Dad over here
and made us yell close them all. But I'm sure
a question that people are wondering is was there, Like
when did you feel like, okay, this, like I know
that this is this is it for me? Like that
you were going to make this decision. Was it recently?
Was it a long time ago and you were just
kind of mulling it over in your head? Was it
(11:26):
something specific or was it?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I think it happened a long time ago, but because
this job is so great and this career is so great,
it's hard to go. I'm done, you know what I mean,
Like it took a long time to get here. I
think that I knew.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
This train was coming a long time ago, but it
probably pulled up to the station relatively recently.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
But like I knew this train was coming, I had
already seen the arrival times on the board.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You know what I'm saying? Like, does that make any sense?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Like I don't think it's radio is the theater of
the mind. So I'm trying to paint that and this
is your exactly. Oh God, what a terrible Swan song.
This is the Amelia Pereze swad song just off key
and written by Ai. Anyways, I it's a while a while,
but it's hard to say goodbye. And I knew when
(12:21):
I was done here, I was done with the career.
I've said, Mojo, I've said this to you for like
seven years. I was like, I'm not going to work
with anybody else if it's.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Not with you.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
And I've always truly meant that, Like I got here
and I knew that, like once it was this, it
was never going to be anything else again. And so
it was hard to say. You justified a lot. You're like,
but there's cool things, but there's this, But we have
so much fun, but we get to do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
This, but we get so you justify a lot for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You know how when I think of this, how hard
was moving from your home?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I love living here. This is the best I would
have been. So sorry. I got a cough. I'm still
a little bit sick.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I have love living in the city. Are you freaking
kidding me? Some of the joys is my dad was
born and raised in the city of Detroit. And the
first year that I got to host Thanksgiving and we
got to go to the parade and he hadn't been
there since he was a kid, And I got to
provide that experience with my dad and his family for
the first time of like reliving his childhood.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Was like, holy crap, this is the coolest thing for me.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Like I got to experience the place my dad loves
in my own unique way, and we bonded in a
way that was so fun to like drive around and
go to his favorite places as a kid, and like
I had heard the stories, but then like walking around
and experiencing it amazing, having so many more opportunities to
(13:48):
do things I wouldn't have never done before.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I never would have driven up for the draft.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That was incredibly cool to have that literally be in
my front yard, or Formula one racings.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I never would have driven up here and experience into that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
And like getting to do those things and getting those
experiences I never would have explored on my own.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But you do.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
It.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But in all transparency, you did go back to Toledo
sometimes daily still, oh, and you were going back there
to see doctors and to go to appointments for you
know things. I wondered sometimes how much of it Because
I will say this to you, your home is always
your home. Yeah, and other places can become your home,
they can become your adoptive homes, but there's nothing like
(14:30):
your home. And I wondered sometimes how much you know you.
I will never forget moving across the country for radio
and how lonely it was for me, And it wasn't.
It wasn't until I met Chelsea that it actually started
feeling like there was something there would did you ever
have those moments?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I also moved in at the tail end of COVID,
so like there was my downtown was relatively empty, like
a lot of people had moved home during.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
COVID and or out to the burbs. Whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It has since changed, which is great, but like I
will say, it's very difficult living in the city and
not knowing many people. I'm so grateful we can fight
about this. Go ahead since send the texts whatever. Toledo
is a suburb of Detroit. It is forty five minutes
from downtown Detroit to downtown Toledo. Still like it is, yeah,
(15:22):
but it's it's pretty easy to get home, it's easy
to see my friends. I think part of it was
when I had those hard days and I have an
established friend group.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's easy to just go home and see them, then
to try.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
To go out and meet new people when you're already
feeling lonely.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
And since you're not going to be like driving to
the station every day. Are are you moving back home
to Toledo or are you staying here? You haven't decided yet.
I'm moving back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, my dog gone.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
It's to be fair, I think even if I would
have stayed on the show, I would have been moving
back is very expensive of a downdounts.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I love it, it is great. It has been the
experience of a.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Lifetime, but you also miss Honestly, I will say this, financially,
the expense is one thing, but honestly, emotionally, the expense
is harder, I think.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But I want to ask you because of you.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There are moments I was on the phone with you
when it was just you and I and you got emotional,
and I'd love to know where the emotion comes into play,
because I heard it a couple of times at moments
when you would you and I would talk. And obviously
not that I think that you need to be emotional
for the listeners, but what brings the emotion out of
(16:38):
this move.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I think disappointing you has been a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You're definitely not I know your dad and I have
the same exact thoughts on this. I'm just honestly wanting
to make sure you're one hundred percent positive that this
is what you need to do for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And I think.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I have a really hard time putting myself as a priority,
and I've been working very hard on that. And I
think a lot of times I stand situations that I
don't not want to be in, but maybe aren't the
best for me because I don't want to let other
(17:17):
people down.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And I think telling you that.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Everything's going to be fine, right, like everything's gonna move on,
it's gonna become normal one day, it like changes happen
in the world.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Truly.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm very happy right now, like so incredibly happy, even
though it kind of sounded a little shaky there, I
mean it, But I think telling you this was terrifying
because it felt like I was I always say I
feel like I disappoint people and that I'm a burden,
(17:52):
and I felt making this decision qualified me as both
of those things to the show, and that was hard.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, I'm proud of you I'm proud of you for
doing something for yourself and as a as a dad, naturally,
I have fear for my kids. I don't want, ever
want my kids to be hurt. You have always come
across to me as like a little sister to me,
and I want you, you know, to be good.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And for those that are just tuning in right now,
Megan has you know, just told us and you can
rewind this all on podcasts and listen to it. But
she told us that she's wanting to leave the show
and she wants to get out of radio. Your things
that you want to get out of radio to do are, honestly,
I think, wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean, it's not you're gonna be run. You know,
you're not.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Gonna get rich, but you're gonna But honestly, it's gonna
you're gonna be fulfilled.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
If I'm gonna go to a desk job.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
A weekend, you're gonna start seeing what it's like here
doing week ass heels, clicking around.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It's gonna be weak in there.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But you guys, I'm not gonna get up at three
thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I want to take that.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Let me ask you this, guys, you've been throwing that
daddy word around. What does Scott say about this? He's
been an extreme fake strum the show. I want to
call him right now so he can talk some since
and see what has he been telling me.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
He is the most supportive man in the entire world.
I am so incredibly grateful to him. He is such
a level headed person. It's disgusting. I don't know how
I came from him, because I'm so not level headed
and he is. I will say in all of this,
when I say it's been a long process, We've been.
(19:37):
It's been a long process. It's not a hastily made decision.
We have talked at length about this, and I will
say my dad has always been the person to be like,
and he's right.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I want to make this very clear. There will never
be a job that I have.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
In the future that has days as good as the
days that we have here. We're just too lucky. There's
too many cool things going on, there's too many cool opportunities,
So we will never have of that. And he'll he'll
do the contant like, are you sure remember this? Are
you sure to let go of this? Are you sure
you're willing to part with this are you, But once
(20:11):
it was made, he's fully I mean, he's the best.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He's got my back.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Did you know what the old studio like before we moved?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
No, I mean I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I don't know. There's a lot of things that have
been you knew it was the train was coming for
a while. Just wanted to kind of understand my mind, like.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Time frame let me.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean, we're gonna continue, Megan's gonna be with us
for a couple of weeks. We're gonna have uh, we're
gonna have a lot of of you know, laughs, We're
gonna have a lot of tears, and we're gonna have
a lot of time for listeners to talk. And I
want to give them some time to talk. But also
I want you to know that you will always have
(20:55):
a home here. And I think that just like when
you have you said something that was really to me,
grab me because it's the first time that I heard
you say you've always done things for everybody else you
haven't done for yourself.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
That was the most important piece of what you said.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And I think that one of the things that stood
out with that is you've had a transformational less you know,
a few years, but also less, you know, more than
a decade in you know plus and radio. I hope
that every one of those things you realize that you
should have been known for yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, because you didn't move to.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Detroit, you didn't lose weight, you didn't take a job
you know in radio. You didn't do any of that
stuff for your dad. You didn't do it for your brother.
You didn't do it for your friend Tom Carbollo aka Mojo.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You did it for you.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I did, and I want you to look back on
that and understand that even though you maybe thought of
doing it, but you you did it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And you're doing this apps a freakingsolutely Like making these
decisions has taught me so much about myself, what I
value and what I prioritize, And I.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Wouldn't It's funny.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I would not have gotten here without the opportunity, but
I mean that in the most positive way, Like I
would not have gotten to the place where I can
make decisions that I stand by and I'm very proud
of if it wasn't for you giving me the opportunity
to come here, So thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But you know what, I had the opportunity to work
with you as much as you feel like you had
an opportunity, and I'm glad that I have.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And you know, if I liked you at first, I
know it's that crazy. And I think Bojo learned patience. Listen,
I learned patience with myself a lot of times too.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
What's Katie, Katie, you heard the news that Megan has
decided to get out of radio.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (22:47):
I did.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I'm sad.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I mean, I'm glad that you're doing something for yourself,
but and you were one of the people I was
thinking about first thing this morning during Shannon's First thirty
this morning, because I was listening to all the okay
everybody did Eastern and you know, sad about the hope
and stuff like that, and as a formerly religious person,
I was thinking, you know, the only person on the
show that might be interested in how my family celebrates
(23:12):
Easter is Megan, because we celebrate.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Zombie Jesus Day and we watch zombie movies all day.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
And that was funny. Everybody else is going to tell.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I'll meet you at the gates name.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Yeah, I know, but I'm going to know everybody there.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That's cool. I'm gonna know everybody there.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Yeah, it's all tend to be there.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
But I wish you the best of luck, Meghan, and
I'm probably gonna call every day until you're done.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I call every day anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
And you'll keep calling it afterwards.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, and that's what we hope. We hope that and
if not, then enjoy hell.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What's going on? Leanne?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I was just calling because when I first as soon
as you start talking about Meg and I just burst
in the tears. Megan has been it's worth of fresh air.
I've been listening to you, to the original three since
the beginning, whether it's through all of the changes, sometimes sad,
sometimes happy, sometimes mad. This one is just.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Us.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I think you're an amazing human being. I hope wherever
your life goes it's perfect for you. But I'm gonna
tell you, I'm going to come down to Tweedle and
they'll stop you until I get to meet.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Let me tell you, let me tell you, I'm gonna
be very close living lies to fuckers.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You you see me, You're gonna find me at Forkers,
all right, You're gonna see me there.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And the other thing too, is and she's gonna tell
us in coming. You know, days or week kind of
some of the stuff that she's gonna be doing, and
she's gonna need your help to do.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
She really wants to do something to change the world, though,
and I think that's important. I think that's important that
that all those that are loving on Megan right now
you understand that she's gonna still need your help no
matter what she does, whether it's in radio or out
of radio.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Zach, what's up?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Hey, good morning. I certainly know how to make a
grown man him. Oh I I met you Megan like
three years ago on the Pedal bar downtown Flito.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
Yeah, that was good, just after our thirtieth birthday. So
we had a good time. And after that time I
quit drinking like two months later. A quick I'm not almost.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Three or sober?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Thank you then made Do you want to quit drinking?
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Yeah, you know what you will.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
I also had a weight weight problem too, so this
really hits home too, like everything you've gone through over
the years. The couple years two, I've lost hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's hello.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Wishing the best, Magan.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
You're the awesome. Swedo loves you.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Everybody loves you. You're gonna You're gonna do great things.
You take it easy, all right.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
For sure, and I'll see you in those mean streets
of the four.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
One nine, Helena, what's up. It's Mojoe in the morning.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I just wanted to say I remember when Megan started,
and she she went through so many similar things that
I did, and she like made me feel hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And I just want to say thank you for that,
and I really wish you all the best. I love you,
Oh my god, I love love you too. But be honest,
I'm just as dumb now as I was when I started, right,
I mean, if you're dumb, I'm dumb.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Did you know Meggan from starting in when she was
eighteen or starting on the radio show here in Detroit
and Grand Rappa on.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
The radio show here in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Because it wasn't easy for her too, Shannon went on
on maternity leave, people thought that she was replacing Shannon.
So people thought that that was a you know, a thing,
and nobody likes that changes on radio shows. Let me
just say this to you. Twenty five years, do you
know how many people have left this radio show, either
by their own accord or by the company's accord? Eleven
(27:28):
there's been eleven people that have left this radio show,
going through the rosters of people.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Megan will be the twelfth.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And every time that we've had somebody leave the show,
I've never I will never listen again has come out
of the words of people's mouths, and then a new
person has come in and has taken on the role
of taking somebody's heart. And one of the things that
I loved about Megan and I had to talk to
her numerous times about this, was Megan, if they hate you,
(27:57):
they love you. At least they're feeling something about you. Megan,
I have never worked with anybody that and she hated
when I said this word. It's the p word, not
the one you're thinking, keV I've never heard. I said
to Megan, I go, it's good to be polarizing. Yeah,
And I said to her, I go, you are going
to have people that will hate you, and they will
(28:17):
write the meanest things about you, and you have got
to skip over those comments because where there are those
that do that. There's Helena, and there's Zach, and there's
what was the lady's name, the first one I picked up.
I can't remember her name, Mare. I know no I
just said a couple of minutes ago. There are those
that are crying right now. And you know what, Megan,
(28:40):
this is the beauty of you.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You care too much. You care what other people think
too much?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
But people are going to believe you because everybody around
here say, I don't care about anything.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
No, you know what, it's bullspit.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Don't tell people my secret.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
It's bullspit. You care too much? Yeah, you have been.
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I prayed for you on my way in today and literally,
I'm gonna tell you why I prayed for you. I
prayed for you not because of this. I prayed for
you because of the past. And I will say this
to you. This is one of those moments in your
life that I'm very very proud of you. I think
(29:26):
you're incredibly crazy doing this, but I'm proud of you because, honestly,
there's a lot of people that don't have guts to
do something like this, and you have.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You have not.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Had the easiest grow up life, but you've also been
blessed in more ways than you probably even realize. And
I hope that that's something that you realize. Oh, I know,
you've got a lot of people that care about you
and love you.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, I know, I'm so lucky. So for sure, bro,
I'm so.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Lucky and I hate this dog.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
But if it's for you, you decideed, you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know nothing, beloved man.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, I want you to know these next couple of
weeks that you're here and the last appearance that she makes,
which will be out when we give away the car.
I want people that are all the people that say
that they love Megan. I want you to come out
and I want you to give her the most uncomfortable hugs.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I want I want Megan to go.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I will never I think I'm gonna be all of a.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Sudden, Hey, I love you, but I.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Love you truly.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I want that to be the biggest message. Okay, if
you've if you've sat around and you've heard this, please
know that I love you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Guys. This was not easy by any means, and I
truly truly love you.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I do think we're a family. I don't think this
is the end of our road together. It is on
the air, but not in life. And I I just
I do truly love you, guys, so freaking much.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Not enough, not enough, not enough to stay not enough.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
That is right.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
So honestly, at our meeting before the show, we were like, okay,
you have two and a half hours. You can still
you can still change your mind and back out.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
I'm saving all my words to your last day.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, h that was as close you were going to get.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You almost cried.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I almost cried. I throughout this morning.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I was.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Megan. She's the best person ever. She's the greatest way
to your talent of all time.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
If there were a mount rushmore of radio, Megan would
be on it in the morning.
All right, we called for a family meeting. And in
my house, whenever we say family meeting, everybody's got to
come down.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
They've got to put down their devices.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
So I'm asking everybody devices closed, close them up. Everybody
like move your things, but ba ba ba boom boom,
okay move them in or whatever. And everybody also in
our family meetings that we have, uh, nothing is to
be at all taken in a personal way during this
(00:31):
family meeting. And if anybody needs tissues, we've got tissues.
If you know, anybody would like to leave for a moment,
you can leave for a moment, but you got to
come back.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So that's kind of the rules in our house.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
So this ready, we've had it before where we've had
family meetings where my kids are like, I need a
break for a second, I want to go outside, And honestly,
it's sometimes it's good, right yeah, yeah, So that nothing's
you know, it's said that ever can never be taken back.
So just not that long ago, I had one of
(01:09):
the members of the show come to me and come
to Tony and tell me something that kind of floored me.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And when they.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Told me this, I was I was shocked, but not surprised,
if that makes it sound weird. I knew that something
was kind of coming up and something was bruin, but
I didn't think that it was going to get to
the level that it got to. A member of the
Mojo in the Morning Show came to me and said
that they wanted to resign from the show, and their
(01:41):
hopes were that they were going to leave the show
but also wanted to leave radio. And we're here to
announce that this morning on the show, Megan Mick has
turned in a letter of resignation. I actually did officially
finally read it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
By the way, feel so formal, does it?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I read it was very formal, and honestly, I know
that that's kind of like the the thing, which is
funny because I don't think I've ever had a resume,
nor have I ever resigned from the job without going, hey,
by the way, I'm leaving for another.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Job, so neither have I. I had to google how
to write a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I might have helped, might have helped, might have But
in true fashion, if you read it, I did get
the date wrong on it.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Again.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I just if you look at the day and like
the day of the week and the date they don't
match on the calendar, but.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, Y'm joking, let's get into well Megan, Meghan came
Tony and I and said that she she wanted to resign,
and Megan, I'm gonna let you just kind of take
it from there, and we're obviously going to uh have
questions for you for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And first things first, my goal in my career and
my life was to get here, and I am so grateful,
so grateful for the experience I've had getting to be
here and work with you guys, and this is truly
the best of the best, hands down. A big part
of the reason why I am leaving the industry altogether
(03:09):
is because nothing's going to get better than this. I
am fully aware of that and super grateful for this experience.
I've said this to you, I said this to all
of us because shocking we as a family have dabbled
in this topic just a little bit, and.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
This is the peak.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Like getting to this show, to work with you, Mojo
and to the entire team here has truly been the
greatest opportunity of my life, and I'm very, very grateful
for that. I am just wanting to step away from
the industry just in general. And I've been doing this
(03:50):
for so long. I grew up, especially with the people
who listen on I two five, because if I'm in Toledo,
I started on that radio station when I was.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Eighteen years old.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, you heard me start as an idiot and not
really grow or learn at all. I'm ending as an
idiot as well. But it's been fun and I I
just need a little bit more privacy in my life.
And I'm chasing after some different dreams. I think a
lot of times I talked with my therapist like I
had a life to do list, right, and like I
(04:21):
hit those to does and now I'm ready to hit
the next set of to dos. And I'm really really
grateful to work with you. I love you guys so much.
I really don't want you to think that it's like
ill will or I had this terrible experience. That is
not the case at all. I'm just I'm ready for
some new challenges.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
When Megan said those exact words to Tony and I
left the room, and I think I sent you a
text and told you I love you.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You did right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Away, and I processed it and then called you later
that evening, and I tried to talk her out of it.
I tried to basically say to her that, you know, hey, okay,
why don't take some time to think about this and
you would kind of told me some things that and I,
(05:14):
by the way, we appreciate everything you say about this
is the pinnacle and stuff. I said this to all
of you guys. I don't think this is the pinnacle.
I really don't. I think every day of your life
you're in a pinnacle and every day you're going to
get better. And where I don't think that you need
radio or I need radio, or any of us need
(05:34):
this career. We could do anything, and we I think
would flourish. I think we're all quality people. You know
those people though, that are so good at it, and you're,
like God, you were meant to be in this position
and where I'm sad to see that you are doing this.
I am praying that you rethink this and rethought you know,
(05:57):
this whole thing before we even made announcement, and you
still could rethink it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Megan, for those that.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Don't know, and I don't know how much I'm allowed
to share, but I'm not your boss. Tony is and
Colleen is. Megan's under a contract and she is under
contract for what another year and a half or something
like that, and the company, you know, Tony had to
go to the company and basically say hey, we need
(06:22):
to think about this and unwind it. In their first
thoughts as a company is they got to protect them
in their company, and they say, well, what does Mojo think?
And when they called me to ask me and they said,
well what do you think? And I said, I think
that there's nothing I can do to keep for her,
and there's nothing that I would want to do to
keep somebody that didn't want to be here. And I
(06:45):
want you to do what is going to make you happy,
but I also want you to be happy.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Yeah, So when did you lose your joy in radio?
Because you said you've been in this thing for fourteen years.
When did it become a point where it wasn't either
fun for you or you didn't feel like or you
feel like you reached a cap I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
If I think I lost my joy. I think I
just have new passions that I want to.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Explore, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Like you can be like you can say I did
what I wanted to do, What's next?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So E feel like you did what you wanted to do?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What and I want to get into the what's next
for you in a second, But did did it play
a part? What social media has kind of done the things?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's where I kind of I joke
and say I'm looking for more privacy. I've been so
grateful to share my experiences with people. I want to
make that very clear there. I don't regret my experiences
in choosing this career, Like I'm super grateful that really
(07:56):
our listeners have normalized so much stuff that's gone on
in my life, like anytime there's been a big life
event that I'm not really sure about, Like it's really
nice to come here and hear perspective from people who
care about us, Like that is the best thing you
could ask for. But I think sometimes there is a
huge lack of privacy in our lives with this job.
(08:16):
And I am now thirty two and I've been doing
this since I was eighteen, Like I would just like
a little bit more to be left to.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Did it reach you just a boiling point or did
like was there I don't know something that happened, or
like when did it start becoming too much for this
social media.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What fourteen years ago?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Uh, I think it's always been very difficult, and I
think there just becomes a point in your life where
you're like, oh, this, this doesn't satisfy me anymore, you
know what I mean, Like it costs too much on me.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
That I'm like, I have you ever had that moment
where you're like, I'm not even going to think of
what I'm going to say when this happens, because it's
probably not going to happen, And now that it's actually happening,
I'm like at absolute freaking loss for words. That is
what makes this better for me, and I hope for
people listening who you have impacted so much and love
(09:20):
you so much, is that Selfishly? When I found out
about this, I was like, well, no, like, you know,
she's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I love you absolute pieces.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
But at the same time, you have to take a
step back and go but this is what she wants
to do. This is going to make her happier. This
is the next step, you know, to her living her life.
And that's the only thing that I'm like, Okay, even
though I want to trap you in here, I know
(09:55):
that there is more that you want to do so
and I'm not, like.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, I've fully appreciated all of our experiences here and
all of the amazing opportunities we have had to do
some really cool things. Listen, I love you, Toledo, but
I'm gonna get nerdy here for a second, just for
Mojo's sake.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Like in radio, there are different market.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Sizes, right, and like Toledo is a smaller market and
there's not as many opportunities there, and I love that city,
don't get me wrong, But like I think jingle Ball
is a great example.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Jingle Ball doesn't go to every city in the country.
It goes to a few, and.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Like being able to be backstage and be at that stuffer,
go to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Like I understand, not
having those experiences again is going to be really tough.
Not being able to like do stuff with you guys
because I love you so much and like have those
really fun experiences is going to be incredibly difficult. But
I'm so grateful that we had them all. Oh my god,
(10:54):
I had an absolute blast. I want to make that
so freaking clear. I had a blast doing this. I'm
just ready for the next thing.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Was there.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I don't have my devices open because Dad over here
and made us yell close them all. But I'm sure
a question that people are wondering is was there, Like
when did you feel like, okay, this, like I know
that this is this is it for me? Like that
you were going to make this decision. Was it recently?
Was it a long time ago and you were just
kind of mulling it over in your head? Was it
(11:26):
something specific or was it?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I think it happened a long time ago, but because
this job is so great and this career is so great,
it's hard to go. I'm done, you know what I mean,
Like it took a long time to get here. I
think that I knew.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
This train was coming a long time ago, but it
probably pulled up to the station relatively recently.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
But like I knew this train was coming, I had
already seen the arrival times on the board.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You know what I'm saying? Like, does that make any sense?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Like I don't think it's radio is the theater of
the mind. So I'm trying to paint that and this
is your exactly. Oh God, what a terrible Swan song.
This is the Amelia Pereze swad song just off key
and written by Ai. Anyways, I it's a while a while,
but it's hard to say goodbye. And I knew when
(12:21):
I was done here, I was done with the career.
I've said, Mojo, I've said this to you for like
seven years. I was like, I'm not going to work
with anybody else if it's.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Not with you.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
And I've always truly meant that, Like I got here
and I knew that, like once it was this, it
was never going to be anything else again. And so
it was hard to say. You justified a lot. You're like,
but there's cool things, but there's this, But we have
so much fun, but we get to do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
This, but we get so you justify a lot for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You know how when I think of this, how hard
was moving from your home?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I love living here. This is the best I would
have been. So sorry. I got a cough. I'm still
a little bit sick.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I have love living in the city. Are you freaking
kidding me? Some of the joys is my dad was
born and raised in the city of Detroit. And the
first year that I got to host Thanksgiving and we
got to go to the parade and he hadn't been
there since he was a kid, And I got to
provide that experience with my dad and his family for
the first time of like reliving his childhood.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Was like, holy crap, this is the coolest thing for me.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Like I got to experience the place my dad loves
in my own unique way, and we bonded in a
way that was so fun to like drive around and
go to his favorite places as a kid, and like
I had heard the stories, but then like walking around
and experiencing it amazing, having so many more opportunities to
(13:48):
do things I wouldn't have never done before.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I never would have driven up for the draft.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That was incredibly cool to have that literally be in
my front yard, or Formula one racings.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I never would have driven up here and experience into that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
And like getting to do those things and getting those
experiences I never would have explored on my own.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But you do.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
It.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But in all transparency, you did go back to Toledo
sometimes daily still, oh, and you were going back there
to see doctors and to go to appointments for you
know things. I wondered sometimes how much of it Because
I will say this to you, your home is always
your home. Yeah, and other places can become your home,
they can become your adoptive homes, but there's nothing like
(14:30):
your home. And I wondered sometimes how much you know you.
I will never forget moving across the country for radio
and how lonely it was for me, And it wasn't.
It wasn't until I met Chelsea that it actually started
feeling like there was something there would did you ever
have those moments?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I also moved in at the tail end of COVID,
so like there was my downtown was relatively empty, like
a lot of people had moved home during.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
COVID and or out to the burbs. Whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It has since changed, which is great, but like I
will say, it's very difficult living in the city and
not knowing many people. I'm so grateful we can fight
about this. Go ahead since send the texts whatever. Toledo
is a suburb of Detroit. It is forty five minutes
from downtown Detroit to downtown Toledo. Still like it is, yeah,
(15:22):
but it's it's pretty easy to get home, it's easy
to see my friends. I think part of it was
when I had those hard days and I have an
established friend group.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's easy to just go home and see them, then
to try.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
To go out and meet new people when you're already
feeling lonely.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
And since you're not going to be like driving to
the station every day. Are are you moving back home
to Toledo or are you staying here? You haven't decided yet.
I'm moving back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, my dog gone.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
It's to be fair, I think even if I would
have stayed on the show, I would have been moving
back is very expensive of a downdounts.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I love it, it is great. It has been the
experience of a.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Lifetime, but you also miss Honestly, I will say this, financially,
the expense is one thing, but honestly, emotionally, the expense
is harder, I think.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But I want to ask you because of you.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There are moments I was on the phone with you
when it was just you and I and you got emotional,
and I'd love to know where the emotion comes into play,
because I heard it a couple of times at moments
when you would you and I would talk. And obviously
not that I think that you need to be emotional
for the listeners, but what brings the emotion out of
(16:38):
this move.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I think disappointing you has been a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You're definitely not I know your dad and I have
the same exact thoughts on this. I'm just honestly wanting
to make sure you're one hundred percent positive that this
is what you need to do for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And I think.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I have a really hard time putting myself as a priority,
and I've been working very hard on that. And I
think a lot of times I stand situations that I
don't not want to be in, but maybe aren't the
best for me because I don't want to let other
(17:17):
people down.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And I think telling you that.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Everything's going to be fine, right, like everything's gonna move on,
it's gonna become normal one day, it like changes happen
in the world.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Truly.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm very happy right now, like so incredibly happy, even
though it kind of sounded a little shaky there, I
mean it, But I think telling you this was terrifying
because it felt like I was I always say I
feel like I disappoint people and that I'm a burden,
(17:52):
and I felt making this decision qualified me as both
of those things to the show, and that was hard.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, I'm proud of you I'm proud of you for
doing something for yourself and as a as a dad, naturally,
I have fear for my kids. I don't want, ever
want my kids to be hurt. You have always come
across to me as like a little sister to me,
and I want you, you know, to be good.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And for those that are just tuning in right now,
Megan has you know, just told us and you can
rewind this all on podcasts and listen to it. But
she told us that she's wanting to leave the show
and she wants to get out of radio. Your things
that you want to get out of radio to do are, honestly,
I think, wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean, it's not you're gonna be run. You know,
you're not.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Gonna get rich, but you're gonna But honestly, it's gonna
you're gonna be fulfilled.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
If I'm gonna go to a desk job.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
A weekend, you're gonna start seeing what it's like here
doing week ass heels, clicking around.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It's gonna be weak in there.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But you guys, I'm not gonna get up at three
thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I want to take that.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Let me ask you this, guys, you've been throwing that
daddy word around. What does Scott say about this? He's
been an extreme fake strum the show. I want to
call him right now so he can talk some since
and see what has he been telling me.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
He is the most supportive man in the entire world.
I am so incredibly grateful to him. He is such
a level headed person. It's disgusting. I don't know how
I came from him, because I'm so not level headed
and he is. I will say in all of this,
when I say it's been a long process, We've been.
(19:37):
It's been a long process. It's not a hastily made decision.
We have talked at length about this, and I will
say my dad has always been the person to be like,
and he's right.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I want to make this very clear. There will never
be a job that I have.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
In the future that has days as good as the
days that we have here. We're just too lucky. There's
too many cool things going on, there's too many cool opportunities,
So we will never have of that. And he'll he'll
do the contant like, are you sure remember this? Are
you sure to let go of this? Are you sure
you're willing to part with this are you, But once
(20:11):
it was made, he's fully I mean, he's the best.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He's got my back.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Did you know what the old studio like before we moved?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
No, I mean I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I don't know. There's a lot of things that have
been you knew it was the train was coming for
a while. Just wanted to kind of understand my mind, like.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Time frame let me.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean, we're gonna continue, Megan's gonna be with us
for a couple of weeks. We're gonna have uh, we're
gonna have a lot of of you know, laughs, We're
gonna have a lot of tears, and we're gonna have
a lot of time for listeners to talk. And I
want to give them some time to talk. But also
I want you to know that you will always have
(20:55):
a home here. And I think that just like when
you have you said something that was really to me,
grab me because it's the first time that I heard
you say you've always done things for everybody else you
haven't done for yourself.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
That was the most important piece of what you said.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And I think that one of the things that stood
out with that is you've had a transformational less you know,
a few years, but also less, you know, more than
a decade in you know plus and radio. I hope
that every one of those things you realize that you
should have been known for yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, because you didn't move to.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Detroit, you didn't lose weight, you didn't take a job
you know in radio. You didn't do any of that
stuff for your dad. You didn't do it for your brother.
You didn't do it for your friend Tom Carbollo aka Mojo.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You did it for you.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I did, and I want you to look back on
that and understand that even though you maybe thought of
doing it, but you you did it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And you're doing this apps a freakingsolutely Like making these
decisions has taught me so much about myself, what I
value and what I prioritize, And I.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Wouldn't It's funny.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I would not have gotten here without the opportunity, but
I mean that in the most positive way, Like I
would not have gotten to the place where I can
make decisions that I stand by and I'm very proud
of if it wasn't for you giving me the opportunity
to come here, So thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But you know what, I had the opportunity to work
with you as much as you feel like you had
an opportunity, and I'm glad that I have.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And you know, if I liked you at first, I
know it's that crazy. And I think Bojo learned patience. Listen,
I learned patience with myself a lot of times too.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
What's Katie, Katie, you heard the news that Megan has
decided to get out of radio.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (22:47):
I did.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I'm sad.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I mean, I'm glad that you're doing something for yourself,
but and you were one of the people I was
thinking about first thing this morning during Shannon's First thirty
this morning, because I was listening to all the okay
everybody did Eastern and you know, sad about the hope
and stuff like that, and as a formerly religious person,
I was thinking, you know, the only person on the
show that might be interested in how my family celebrates
(23:12):
Easter is Megan, because we celebrate.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Zombie Jesus Day and we watch zombie movies all day.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
And that was funny. Everybody else is going to tell.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I'll meet you at the gates name.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Yeah, I know, but I'm going to know everybody there.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That's cool. I'm gonna know everybody there.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Yeah, it's all tend to be there.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
But I wish you the best of luck, Meghan, and
I'm probably gonna call every day until you're done.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I call every day anyway.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
And you'll keep calling it afterwards.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, and that's what we hope. We hope that and
if not, then enjoy hell.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What's going on? Leanne?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I was just calling because when I first as soon
as you start talking about Meg and I just burst
in the tears. Megan has been it's worth of fresh air.
I've been listening to you, to the original three since
the beginning, whether it's through all of the changes, sometimes sad,
sometimes happy, sometimes mad. This one is just.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Us.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I think you're an amazing human being. I hope wherever
your life goes it's perfect for you. But I'm gonna
tell you, I'm going to come down to Tweedle and
they'll stop you until I get to meet.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Let me tell you, let me tell you, I'm gonna
be very close living lies to fuckers.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You you see me, You're gonna find me at Forkers,
all right, You're gonna see me there.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And the other thing too, is and she's gonna tell
us in coming. You know, days or week kind of
some of the stuff that she's gonna be doing, and
she's gonna need your help to do.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
She really wants to do something to change the world, though,
and I think that's important. I think that's important that
that all those that are loving on Megan right now
you understand that she's gonna still need your help no
matter what she does, whether it's in radio or out
of radio.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Zach, what's up?
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Hey, good morning. I certainly know how to make a
grown man him. Oh I I met you Megan like
three years ago on the Pedal bar downtown Flito.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
Yeah, that was good, just after our thirtieth birthday. So
we had a good time. And after that time I
quit drinking like two months later. A quick I'm not almost.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Three or sober?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Thank you then made Do you want to quit drinking?
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Yeah, you know what you will.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
I also had a weight weight problem too, so this
really hits home too, like everything you've gone through over
the years. The couple years two, I've lost hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's hello.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Wishing the best, Magan.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
You're the awesome. Swedo loves you.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Everybody loves you. You're gonna You're gonna do great things.
You take it easy, all right.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
For sure, and I'll see you in those mean streets
of the four.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
One nine, Helena, what's up. It's Mojoe in the morning.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I just wanted to say I remember when Megan started,
and she she went through so many similar things that
I did, and she like made me feel hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And I just want to say thank you for that,
and I really wish you all the best. I love you,
Oh my god, I love love you too. But be honest,
I'm just as dumb now as I was when I started, right,
I mean, if you're dumb, I'm dumb.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Did you know Meggan from starting in when she was
eighteen or starting on the radio show here in Detroit
and Grand Rappa on.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
The radio show here in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Because it wasn't easy for her too, Shannon went on
on maternity leave, people thought that she was replacing Shannon.
So people thought that that was a you know, a thing,
and nobody likes that changes on radio shows. Let me
just say this to you. Twenty five years, do you
know how many people have left this radio show, either
by their own accord or by the company's accord? Eleven
(27:28):
there's been eleven people that have left this radio show,
going through the rosters of people.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Megan will be the twelfth.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And every time that we've had somebody leave the show,
I've never I will never listen again has come out
of the words of people's mouths, and then a new
person has come in and has taken on the role
of taking somebody's heart. And one of the things that
I loved about Megan and I had to talk to
her numerous times about this, was Megan, if they hate you,
(27:57):
they love you. At least they're feeling something about you. Megan,
I have never worked with anybody that and she hated
when I said this word. It's the p word, not
the one you're thinking, keV I've never heard. I said
to Megan, I go, it's good to be polarizing. Yeah,
And I said to her, I go, you are going
to have people that will hate you, and they will
(28:17):
write the meanest things about you, and you have got
to skip over those comments because where there are those
that do that. There's Helena, and there's Zach, and there's
what was the lady's name, the first one I picked up.
I can't remember her name, Mare. I know no I
just said a couple of minutes ago. There are those
that are crying right now. And you know what, Megan,
(28:40):
this is the beauty of you.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You care too much. You care what other people think
too much?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
But people are going to believe you because everybody around
here say, I don't care about anything.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
No, you know what, it's bullspit.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Don't tell people my secret.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
It's bullspit. You care too much? Yeah, you have been.
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I prayed for you on my way in today and literally,
I'm gonna tell you why I prayed for you. I
prayed for you not because of this. I prayed for
you because of the past. And I will say this
to you. This is one of those moments in your
life that I'm very very proud of you. I think
(29:26):
you're incredibly crazy doing this, but I'm proud of you because, honestly,
there's a lot of people that don't have guts to
do something like this, and you have.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You have not.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Had the easiest grow up life, but you've also been
blessed in more ways than you probably even realize. And
I hope that that's something that you realize. Oh, I know,
you've got a lot of people that care about you
and love you.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, I know, I'm so lucky. So for sure, bro,
I'm so.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Lucky and I hate this dog.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
But if it's for you, you decideed, you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know nothing, beloved man.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, I want you to know these next couple of
weeks that you're here and the last appearance that she makes,
which will be out when we give away the car.
I want people that are all the people that say
that they love Megan. I want you to come out
and I want you to give her the most uncomfortable hugs.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I want I want Megan to go.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I will never I think I'm gonna be all of a.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Sudden, Hey, I love you, but I.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Love you truly.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I want that to be the biggest message. Okay, if
you've if you've sat around and you've heard this, please
know that I love you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Guys. This was not easy by any means, and I
truly truly love you.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I do think we're a family. I don't think this
is the end of our road together. It is on
the air, but not in life. And I I just
I do truly love you, guys, so freaking much.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Not enough, not enough, not enough to stay not enough.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
That is right.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
So honestly, at our meeting before the show, we were like, okay,
you have two and a half hours. You can still
you can still change your mind and back out.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
I'm saving all my words to your last day.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, h that was as close you were going to get.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You almost cried.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I almost cried. I throughout this morning.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I was.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Megan. She's the best person ever. She's the greatest way
to your talent of all time.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
If there were a mount rushmore of radio, Megan would
be on it in the morning.
