Let's go.
How about that?
Welcome to R U Garbage, brother.
I'm glad to be here, man.
It sounded like he was going to bring up a popular stripper.
You know her.
You love her.
I thought I was going to have to go, woo!
God is saying, not to put your business out there, first guest we've ever had
came into
town, got a rental car, rental car broke down.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
That's wild.
What was it?
What car was it?
So we had a, I think it was a, what kind of, oh, it was a Chevy Tahoe.
Okay.
Respect.
We do the same move.
Okay.
And you got the fellows with you.
We travel with the, with the big squad as well.
Yeah.
And they, so, so what happened was, uh, my tour manager, he normally gets here
the day
before, a little bit early before he gets in the car.
That's a good tour manager.
Our guy, our guy travels with us and complains the whole fucking time.
And then you got to wait for him to get the car.
I don't want to wait.
I just want to be able to get off the plane.
No shit.
And go.
Wow.
Look at you.
That's good.
Yeah.
So we got to set up so we could just get off the plane.
I can go.
So I got off the plane and I get a text from him like, yo, I'm not coming to
get
you because the car is not starting.
Ah, shit.
Because he had checked into the hotels.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when I get there, I already had a key.
I can go straight to my room.
That's big.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a great way in there and they got an ID.
You got to go to Wi-Fi's this, to breakfast, to six, to ten.
Shut up.
Give me the key.
Wait, hold on.
You've already been to the hotel?
No.
He had already been to the hotel.
Gotcha.
Checked us in.
Gotcha.
So when I got there, he could just hand me the key.
I like this.
I like this.
Yeah, it's a nice process.
I understand.
They don't like giving the key out.
They don't.
They don't.
You go, hey, can we pre-check so when we're there we can just pick it?
Yeah.
They don't like doing it.
Like, yeah, I don't know what they think you're going to do.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
I don't know.
But, yeah, so he called me, said the car broke down.
That's awesome.
So then I had to take an Uber and I had to go eight miles.
I had to go eight miles.
It takes an hour.
Eight miles.
Eight miles took 56 minutes.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's crazy.
He says he doesn't like to traffic here.
They got, because it's like, they got all these buildings but not enough roads
to get to them.
It's crazy.
I'll get out and just, I'll just get out and walk and go, that's it.
You might as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's brutal.
You might as well.
I saw a pigeon moving fast.
We're glad you got here safe.
Yeah, man.
Appreciate it.
No worries at all.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Give us the origin story of Mojo Brooks.
We know you're a Chicago guy.
Chicago kid, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big shot town guy.
Born and raised on the west side of Chicago.
Okay.
In the Humber Park area.
Nice.
You know.
Brothers, sisters?
I grew up with, my tour manager is actually my brother.
No shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's actually my brother, yeah, so.
Who is, who's in the squad?
Because there's, you're on Ford?
I think Ford deep.
Is it?
No, we three deep.
Three deep.
And I normally don't come three deep.
I normally.
I respect you.
Yeah, I love it.
I love it.
We roll six deep.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, we roll six deep.
Everybody goes everywhere.
I don't give a fuck.
So, I got, so my brother's my tour manager, then TJ is my security.
That's the big guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we've been together for 15 years.
Okay.
So, before I even needed security, you know what I'm saying, he was, you know,
he was there.
I like that.
So, TJ offered his services to you early?
You know what?
Honestly, I was doing, I was a party promoter.
Uh-huh.
So, we used to have him and his brother come and do security at the party.
So, once I moved into, you know, the entertainment space, you know, being a
performer, I'm like, yo, you know, you my security.
And he didn't take it serious at first.
He used to show up with flip-flops on.
I'm like, what if something happened when you got on flip-flops?
You got to fight, yeah.
You must know nobody's going to do nothing to me.
Throwing the flip-flops like an Iraqi reporter?
So, now he went from that to now he'll put a pair of all-black Air Force Ones
on.
There you go.
So, I know, yeah, he's going to keep me safe.
Hey, look professional when he came in.
Yeah, and then my cousin, Devin, you know what I'm saying, he lives in Virginia.
Okay.
So, you know, anytime I'm on the East Coast, he come out.
Oh, I love him.
Very nice.
That's nice.
That's good.
Close circle.
I like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We tight.
We tight.
So, go ahead.
What'd your mom do?
What'd your dad do?
Tell us the whole story.
So, my mom for a long time worked for McDonald's Corporation in the insurance
and safety department.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, so we ate McDonald's for years.
Wait, hold on.
Isn't McDonald's University in Chicago?
Yes, she used to work at the campus.
Get the fuck out of here.
She took us to the Hamburger University where they go in and they train the
manager.
Oh, yeah, we seen all that stuff.
Wow.
Like, all of it.
Like, I mean, we used to, my mom used to get the McChicken patties and bring
them home.
At the house.
We used to have them at the house.
The patties, the tenders, the pancakes.
Really?
You're getting the big man alive.
Bro, listen to me.
I'm McDonald's out.
Me too.
Huge.
We done had so much McDonald's over the years.
That's crazy.
Like, it's crazy.
Like, you got the patties like you would get, like, the chicken patties at the
grocery store.
You got them like that.
Yeah, in the plastic, in the clear plastic bag.
She'd drop them in it.
I mean, they actually tasted better at home.
Yeah, because you could probably do your own stuff with them.
And then we didn't have all those fancy buns.
We had regular Wonder Bread.
That's awesome.
You know what I'm saying?
You're my type of guy.
I pay that shit.
I mean, talking about McDonald's off the jump, big man's in.
Making it at home?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't got to go nowhere.
Your mom's like a movie star.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
What's Grimace really like?
So, my dad was a hustler.
Nice.
And then, you know, he knew he had to kind of provide a life where he would be
around for his family.
So, he ended up, you know, starting his own business as a general contractor.
No kidding.
Very nice.
There we go.
And he went on to be very successful at that.
That's great.
You know, took care of the family.
And I think I'm the first entertainer in our family.
So, everything is a little different to them.
Yeah, we have a similar vibe to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Until they start seeing some of the checks.
And they go, oh, it's working out.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, you know, I brought my dad a car in.
There you go.
He's like, I don't care what I ever said about what you're doing.
You keep going.
You keep going.
All that real job shit I said?
Yeah, yeah.
You're good.
Fuck it.
Don't worry about that.
What'd you get for him?
I bought him a 2025 BMW X6.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Man.
We're getting Twitter early.
BMW, he wanted the 745 L.I., but they don't make the 745 anymore.
They don't make it anymore?
No.
Why not?
I don't know.
Damn.
But they don't make it.
When we was kids, that was the car he wanted.
He's always saying, man, I want a BMW.
I want a BMW.
I'm going to tell you a quick story about that.
Please.
So, we used to go and test drive the BMWs with no intention on buying one.
No intention.
I picked up on that.
You talking to the salesman.
Dude, you're built for the show.
Bro, you have no intention on buying one.
So, we would go, we would test drive him, and, you know, he would be asking all
these
questions like, Pops, we've been here 20 times.
He's not buying this car.
So, I remember we were driving home one day, and he was like, man, I'm going to
get that
car one day.
I'm going to get it one day.
And I took it upon myself, and I was like, Pops, I'm going to buy you the car.
And he was like, all right.
Remember, you got to keep your word.
So, the first opportunity I thought I had to buy him with a BMW, I was a
sophomore in high
school.
What?
What the hell are you doing in a sophomore in high school, before it's 745?
Can I tell y'all what happened?
Of course you can.
Let me get there.
So, y'all remember the show Fear Factor?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Fear Factor was coming to the high schools in Chicago.
Okay.
And they were doing like a special taping of the students for a chance to win $75,000.
Okay.
So, when they came to my class, they gave us the, you know, the consent form.
I went home.
I said, Pops, I slammed the paper on the desk.
I said, I'm going on Fear Factor.
I'm going to win the money.
We're going to get the BMW.
So, I went to school the next day.
I was turning my consent form, and they had the rep from Fear Factor come, and
they was
like, listen, the first challenge in order to be on the show, not I turn this
in and I'm
already on it, you got to do some shit to get on it.
They was like, the first challenge you got to do is lay in a bathtub full of
rats.
Oh, hell no.
So, I went back home, and I told my dad, I don't think you're going to get the
car right
now.
No shit, dude.
I got your bus pants.
I don't think you got to wait a couple years.
So, then, once I finally, you know, got into a space where, you know, I'm
touring, I'm
doing well, I wouldn't have got it.
I love the confidence, though.
Yeah, me too.
He had that car until the iguanas came out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought I was going to have to go eat a couple ants or something.
I done did that on accident a couple times anyways.
But rats, that's where I draw the line.
Damn, dude.
Rats and snakes.
Yeah.
I can't do the rats at all.
I don't even like to watch a snake eat a rat.
That's how bad.
I can't even do it.
I can't even do it.
Scary.
I can't do it.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Were you a good student?
Was I a good student?
When you say goo
