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.)
Even though there are so many distinctions bestowed upon the show in its short history, The Angi Taylor Show picked up yet another one this morning. That's right, this is the straightest show in the history of morning radio. YOu wanna know how straight the show is? Abe eats his bananas sideways! <rimshot> Jay the Straight, why he won't even drink out of straw in public! As for me, even though I'm Jay the Gay, I'd never "eww" the thought of Angi discussing herself wearing a one piece! That's right, it's all Slayer, rock and roll and chainsaws on this straight morning show! <rimshot>
Let's begin the daily breakdown with Angi, who couldn't help but complain about how much she hates being in meetings with radio people. <rimshot> Yesterday, there was an hour long afternoon meeting that lasted even longer and the whole thing was basically dudes telling jokes and sweet Angi was just not having it. You see, she had been tasked with being the keeper of the rimshot button and had to hit it over and over. Of course, it annoys her that everyone just thinks they're so wacky. <rimshot> Abe makes this whole thing further unbearable is that he has to ask questions just as the meeting is finishing up. She also was not pleased that Abe took a picture of her basically sleeping during the meeting and posted it to all the socials. <rimshot> Yet another grievance (of course she has plenty) came in that she would say something, another guy basically repeated what she said and took the credit for the idea as his own. Angi is really beginning to feel that Zoom fatigue, it's starting to break her. <rimshot> As for Abe, he just cracked more bad jokes, lucky us!
Do you have a nasty ex, a petty thing that could not handle the break up with grace and stability and decided to make it messy? What did they do after you broke up? A solid list of examples was given out in the thread that spawned this. Maxing out credit cards, sounds about right. <rim shot> Another sold both cars while his ex girlfriend was out of town for the weekend. Some loser gave back all the hand written cards that were given to them. Another sent a text to the new boyfriend of an ex saying he needs to watch out for her. Poor Angi has a story to share here. She was dating a guy who she found out was cheating on her while she was co-hosting a show in Minn. He heard her mention on air that they broke up so he called her program director and demanded he get to go on air and tell his side of the story. <rimshot> There were plentiful contributions from roadies as well, Dan's tried to sleep with all his friends so they clowned her by setting her up with 4 different ones, then all showed up together to goof on her. April has 6 kids, 4 are biological and her ex told everyone that they are not his. James had a psycho ex carve up the hood of his car that he loved, saying "you're going to miss me, Stef" while also leaving a dump on said hood. <rimshot>
Finally, If you've ever blown a job interview, then boy is this topic for you. Beloved Spiderman actor Tom Holland once accidentally screwed the pooch during his audition forStar Warsin quite a comical way. <rimshot> You see, he was auditioning for the role of Finn (eventually cast to John Boyega) but he couldn't contain his giggles. He had to work alongside a woman who was mimicking BB8 and the robot sounds coming out of her mouth had him in fits. This led to Angi wondering if anyone out there had accidentally blown a job interview. <rimshot> Abe once had do something stupid when he was interviewing to intern at The Loop, the legendary defunct Chicago rock station, when he was 19. After a pretty bad interview, Abe got confident and called back later thinking he should have gotten it (he didn't.) As for Angi, she had an interview sabotaged by her mother. When she was 16, she had an interview at the Old Dutch potato chips factory, which is where her mom worked. Her mom made sure that she didn't get the job because she apparently wanted better for Angi. This coming from the woman who also kicked Angi out at 16 (therapy kids, it helps.) <rimshot> Roadie Heather called in to discuss how she had an interview on 9/11 that went absolutely south. The interviewer said that she wasn't being outgoing because you know, all the terrorism in the background. <rimshot> She also had to take a typing test which she failed because you know, she couldn't stop shaking.

Here's an interesting question, is there a song that when you hear it in the car, makes you want to drive faster? This was brought on because there was this dude who was pulled over for driving 120 mph. He, of course, had a good excuse for doing it though. He was listening to a song called "Ciento Veinte" which translates to 120 for those non Spanish speakers. <rimshot> It should also be pointed out that he was also weaving in and out of traffic. Abe's pick, wait for it, was "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar. That song totally makes him drive at least 56 when he hears it. <rimshot> As for Angi, she loves to crank up "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters and put her foot on the gas. Roadie Tony called in and offered up "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed. Another quality choice was "Kickstart My Heart" because that is a goddamn anthem. <rimshot> Roadie Astonia said she loves to get groovin to "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. Dave loves to get on his motorcycle and jumps into "Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani. Dave can't help but go "Godzilla" when he hears Blue Oyster Cult. James said "Highway to Hell" from AC/DC. Abe finished off this interesting dive by saying noted car crasher Tiger Woods was going way too fast. <rimshot>
Next we turn our attention to OnlyFans, a favorite topic of discussion here on The Angi Taylor Show. <rimshot> Today's focus is Mrs. Poindexter, a mother of three who makes $150,000 a month showing off her cash and prizes on the site. Though no one should be shaming anyones hustle, it seems that having three kids in Catholic school and showing off the goods for money is just something that doesn't work (the irony that the Catholic church takes issue with this and yet overlooks other stuff is not lost on anyone.) Anyway, her kids were expelled because you know, whore or whatever. <rimshot> Abe was shown a picture of the woman and almost fell over and started the gears in his head. If she's making 1.8 million a year, everyone listening to the show (and reading these notes) should be on OnlyFans. Abe could not really understand how she was making that kind of money in just lingerie. This in turn turned into a "if you subscribe to OnlyFans or are a participant on there, call in" point that was swept off and forgotten by the time we moved on after the song set.
Lastly, toward the end of the show things really spiraled out of control so I'll try to pull this together as best I possibly can. It began with Head Roadie Ferrari calling in, acting like he was The Rock and referring to himself in 3rd person. Angi got into talking about how she banged the Rocky of the Philly Flyers and Abe tried to pimp Angi out to Ferrari. <rimshot> After that, Angi decided to go after me two fold. It began with me "supposedly" attempting to start an insurrection against the station yesterday after my call in.For the record, this whole thing started because Angi and Abe were discussing getting rich and quitting the show yesterday. After Angi climbed down off her soapbox yelling about Twitter and those crazy Head Roadies, we moved on to point number two. This involved Amazon and weird things you recently bought. I mistaken shared my list to what I assumed is two people I love in a group text and I got called out for buying things like the Cage Fighter movie bluray (Jon Moxley is daddy,) mermaid coloring books for my nieces (I don't have time to color Angi!) and ramen noodles (for my roommate Vinchenzo.) The last part of the show concerned Rock 95.5 weekend host and Head Roadie of Sharks Shark, taking Angi on a lunch date. <rimshot> If you wanna hear his call in, check out the podcast but know that we will break the whole lunch down on tomorrow morning's show.
10 o' Clock Toast:
Bass Pro Shops. Because Angi was able to wrangle her a Shark for a lunch date. <rimshot> Nobody let HR hear today's show btw.
