This is a small taste of the show overall, the bits and bobs that I found interesting and funny, insightful and relevant. To hear everything that happened, check out the podcast version of the show. If you want a quick read along with random self inserts and my personal thoughts, you've come to the right place.
Call in Points:
(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)
Well, it's official, Manuary is over. I know this because Abe was forced to fend off snow monsters with a broom, Jay the Straight had to shovel tirelessly all day and I just spent hours working on these notes. You know what she did, laid on the couch watching Netflix and drinking wine, I'm actually shocked that she made it in today.
So, what is the most annoying sound in the world according to sound experts. For them, as well as Angi and Abe, the answer is vomiting. Seriously, the sound of anyone retching is just revolting. Other annoying sounds according to them include things that neighbors do like construction or having parties, nails across a chalkboard and the voice of the person that you have been stuck in quarantine with all these months during the pandemic. Our beloved queen had a few others to add into the list. The sound of water bottles crunching, plastic wrappers crunching (glaring at Jay the Straight,) the blinker in the car, burping, hearing other people eat. Roadie Janelle called in to say she hates the sound of animals drinking water which big surprise, Angi hates as well. Head Roadie Angel said he can't stand people when they're eating a bag of chips and they do it with their mouth open. Angi and Abe also agreed with this as well.
As we saw in the previous comment, some people have grown to dislike the sound of their partners during the pandemic. Let's dive into that with a few questions. Do you hate your partner? Do you want out of a loveless marriage? Has covid ruined your relationship to the point of being unable to repair it? Perhaps your wife lays on the couch and drinks wine all day while you shovel or your WWE Champion husband doesn't respond to your DM's. Well guess what, we are looking for you. Rock 95.5 is running a contest just in time for Valentine's Day. They will give a you a $5,000 divorce consultation, a Lover's Lane gift card and a chance to come on the show to tell your store. Let's be honest, marriage sucks (just ask Abe, who refuses to propose after 5 years.) So if you want out of yours, this is the contest you need to enter. After all submissions are tallied, 5 qualifiers will be chosen and the winner will be on air next week. Check out the Rock 95.5 website to enter and read all that fun legal mumbo jumbo that comes with a fun mess like this. Rock 95.5, home of the most unorthodox contests on the planet!
Finally, we had our daily Roadie Roundtable that sought to help a question that was, you know, kind of solvable on its own. Roadie Stephanie and her husband are about to celebrate 10 years of marriage. They had intended to go on a nice vacation but covid basically destroyed that. Mind you, they've been saving for this trip for 10 years. So, she was thinking they should get a gift they both would love. Perhaps a hot tub or a new car but her husband had a different idea. Dual Harley's for each other. I need to add here that Abe screamed about them being rich through all of this. Anyway, she's not super into the idea. More so, he wants to ride them to Sturgis because you know, dying to covid sounds delightful. Abe then chimed in, as he does, that he would take the Harley if she didn't want it. The question posed to the roadies, should she bite the bullet and just go with his whims or should she speak up and say she doesn't want the gift? Roadie Rob said they should go on that rocker cruise (because again, dying to covid sounds fun.) Angi and Abe said they should just split the money. Let him get the Harley and she can get what she wants. Have a thought on this, jump in our Facebook group and leave a comment in the daily rundown post in there.
Request Wars:
Current Champion: Mario (3x)
Challenger Song Choice: "Dig"
Champion Song Choice: "Barracuda"
The smack talk got very sexy this morning as the two basically dragged wives and mothers for filth. Imo, a better song choice/better smack sort of weighs this in the champs favor.
Winner: Mario
Other Topics:
Do you know what the most hated states in America (voted on by the way others view it.) The calculations came in how many people move away and what they thought of it while they lived there. In a contest no one wants to win, Illinois finally came in number 1! The rest of the list breaks down like this: New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Connecticut and Kentucky. As always, there's a yang to this ying and here's the least hated states Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, Washington, Wyoming and Arizona. Abe exclaimed that he knew Mississippi would be on the list and yet he was confused as to why people don't hate Montana. Honestly, several places on the least hated don't make sense to me. The biggest assumption as to why Illinois made the top is because of the horrible taxes.
Roadie Tracy called back again to extend her fifteen minutes of fame and add more to her Eddie Vedder story. After their whirlwind little romance (check out the show page to hear the story from last week,) Eddie went to Seattle and decided to call her. He told her he was determined to be with her. Later on, she got another call from his hotel room. Eddie was still there but he was drunk in the background. You see, his friends, the evil villains had done this as a plot. They stole her contact info from him and erased it so he wouldn't be able to contact her again. According to them, he was supposed to be with some girl named Beth. For the record, this is not the same Beth that KISS wrote about btw. Angi and Abe questioned how anyone could possibly compare after Eddie. They then said that it was probably time for her to move on from this. In response, Tracy explained that she doesn't tell anyone this story as is but she felt compelled to mention it somewhere. Either way, I'm pretty sure this is the last were going to hear on this matter (thankfully.)
Lastly, Angi went on a little diatribe about junk this morning. Apparently, every guy who calls into the show has 10 inches, is as thick as a can of soup and is just too big for normal clothes I'd assume. In face, let's not forget that Angi works with the Abeaconda, the jungle monster that wrecks everything in its path. So this leaves a little bit of a dilemma of sorts. Either The Angi Taylor Show gets every giant hog listener in the region or people are lying, I think you should be the judge of which of these outcomes is the reality.
10 o' Clock Toast:
The Plow Guys, The UPS Drivers, The Amazon Drivers, The Postal Workers, The FedEx Drivers and all the people who went out and shoveled. Plus the girl who delivered Abe's Jimmy John's sandwich yesterday.
