Call In Points:
Today is another momentous and glorious day as we celebrate the 60th birthday of the amazing Nadine aka Mama Kanan aka the Head Roadie of All Mothers. She's truly a treasure and should be celebrated as such. As I learned, she did not get drunk to celebrate her birthday at the party for her over the weekend so I'm going to step up and volunteer to do it for her, starting after this call.
As I tend to say, interesting things happen during the early A.M. hours and today was no different. Angi received a letter from a listener named Dan, who is in prison for unarmed bank robbery. After Abe swept the letter for anthrax and deemed it safe, Angi got curious. She was seeking listeners who are either in jail or have been to call in and answer some questions. For example, can you have a radio in prison and what would she be allowed to send listener Dan. Listener Preston assumed that Dan might be in a holding cell and not full on jail. As for what Preston did a stint for, well there was misdemeanor trespassing, breaking and entering, destruction of property, assault and abduction. Angi dear, run, the calls are coming from inside the radio station. Listener Vera helped further the understanding by explaining that you can send magazines, bras, money but no metal. In fact, you can buy electronics at the commissary. Vera herself was not in prison but her sister was for an unfortunate drug habit. Listener Jim called in to explain what Dan could have in federal prison. Listener Candance has been to jail but not federal prison. Listener Quentin explained that you can get clear radios from the commissary. After some discussion, two things occurred. Dan was made the Head Roadie of Federal Prison and Angi decided she would be sending Dan letters, photos and her panties which had been worn for the duration of a day.
As you know, we here at The Angi Taylor show love lists and this one is truly something. So, as you know people love to name their kids strange things. Well, this year, being the mess that it is, has gifted us with some great baby names. So, what are the Top 10, glad you were curious because here they are from 10 to 1. Subaru, Princecharles, Rambo, Infantboy, Atilia, Macguyver, Iceland, Dairy, Mama and Cinderella. Listener Rick called in to tell us that he named his daughter Sheena after The Ramones song. Angi, after going through all of these, hit her breaking point and said "If you name your kid any of these, come find me and I will punch you right in the face."

So it's looking like the Pfizer covid vaccine might be the miracle drug we were all looking for. The question is though, are you willing to be the human guinea pig who will take one of the first doses of it or are you willing to sit it out for a little bit to see if there are no overall issues from it. The agreement seemed to be that taking it day 1 was not an option that Angi and Abe were seeking though Abe seemed more inclined to taking it. He did wonder though, are there side effects, would he need to take it on like a Friday in order to get all the things that come from it out of the way during the weekend?
