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 Point:
(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)
Caution, this topic might get a little triggering. Seriously, STOP now or you might stumble upon some truths that are unpleasant. Okay, so we're going to talk about Warnings, as in a warning label you should be wearing if we came with one. For example, Angi's would say Warning: No Filter! An attached post it to that would also read Warning: Her face has no filter! If you're curious as to what that means, it's essentially saying that even if she says one thing, the look she'll give you will betray that fake emotion she's attempting to portray. This is something show husband Jay the Straight always has to alert her to. "Angi, fix your face," he'll politely whisper as she glares at the person who is stalking her from afar and then posting about it on social media later. Other examples of Warning! labels. Warning: Daddy issues all day! Warning: If we date, my dog is still going to be more important than you. Abe's Warning! labels are kind of what you would expect. Warning: Abe has beer can junk. Ironic, this one also has a post-it attached to it that also says Warning: Abe has above average junk! His biggest Warning! tag though would read Warning: I hate making plans and I have no interest in them. In fact, Abe is so bothered by plan making that it literally gives him anxiety to do so. Lucky for him, he has the ivory tower now to use as an excuse to get out of doing things. Angi decided to give a Warning! label to her friend Bianca. Warning: I can drink any man under the table! Seriously, this girl's ability would kill any mortal (wo)man. Turning to the roadies, we got a few good ones. Kristi said Warning: I cry about everything when I'm drunk. Kevin added Warning: I embarrass you with karaoke. Everything that came before this didn't matter though because next was Greg, who is Angi and Abe's new best friend and favorite person. Greg's Warning! was pretty simple, Warning: I drink 12 beers every morning. He apparently finds drinking 12 beers every morning relaxing (then again, Angi does the same with a bottle of wine so....) Anyway, this roughed up gemstone is unemployed and so Angi and Abe decided to make a project out of this clear alcoholic. Think of that show The Swan but in the end, you win a trip to AA. Though he was looking for something tool based, Abe suggested that perhaps they hire him over at iHeart. Ignoring the request, Angi instead investigated why he was up so early in the first place. You see, he's a night owl who spends his evenings watching sports and then gets up early to drink (yeah, just keep scratching your head.) The funny thing was this is exactly the kind of guy Angi would have dated back in the day. As a bonus, he has his own place with a Jordan poster on the wall. However, he doesn't have Netflix so Angi decided to remain with Jay the Straight. Fear not though Angi, his cable guy was inbound today and he could maybe make that happen. When pressed for where an unemployed alcoholic gets money for an apartment and all these luxuries, we were told to simply "forget about it." Angi and Abe literally fell in love with this degenerate and I have a feeling that this is now the show's new mascot. I guess I should finish this off with my own Warning! Warning: Drinks 12 handles of Captain Morgan White a week! or Warning: Bitter jaded old queen who hates everyone!
All the Rest:
Now that Angi and Jay the Straight are fully vaccinated and the weather outside yesterday was decent, the love birds went out for a bit yesterday. To cap off their evening, they decided to go to a restaurant, choosing to eat outside. Big mistake as Angi would come to find out when she ended up seat in front of a girl and her friend's friends. Apparently, a girl named Shannon is an absolute bitch and a total pain in the ass. This Shannon works with the girl who was complaining and she had done enough for this girl to bitch about her for 45 minutes straight. This didn't exactly ruin Angi's meal but she did find herself absolutely tired of having to hear about what makes Shannon an a-hole. Abe chimed in and had to wonder if Angi made a point of telling this girl to shut up. Being the better person, she didn't but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because not even the 3 friends could get a word in edgewise. When one of the friends tried to change the subject, it was a four second diversion before complaining about Shannon resumed. Angi decided to offer up some advice after this interaction. Random girl who hates Shannon, could you possibly shut the funyuns up and let your friend talk sometime, maye even ask them some questions. Just a word of advice, no one cares about Shannon. That said, if Shannon is reading this, you should probably get those reports in. It should be noted the girl also dumped on her looks so this sounds more like a jealous hater than anything else. Anyway, with all that out of the way, we here at The Angi Taylor Show hope you enjoyed yourself if you went out yesterday.
Now that Angi's day has been dealt with, let's get on to looking at Abe and his pursuit of becoming rich. For a little background info, well Abe has never been lucky when it comes to stocks. For example, any time Abe has had stocks, he always ends up selling them before they go up in money. This time, Abe was screwed once again when he dumped his Dogecoin, which has found its footing and is now skyrocketing. He had to toss it off for money to pay for his condo, which makes sense but if only he had held out, he'd be rolling in paper. Before explaining more about his financial failures, Abe decided he needed to list his top 5 people in the iHeart building. 1 is dear Angi, 2 is the Greek diner lady, 3 is his sub mayo guy Brandon, 4 is some random cleaning lady and 5 is Rufio, from Angi's old show. Angi went on to tell a story about her old phone screener (stares in jealousy) who sold his bitcoin before it went crazy and had he kept it, would have been richie rich. Abe explained that his Dogecoin was $8,000 and would have become $50,000. Other examples of Abe misses, having Starbucks at $18 and Visa at $30 which he dumped before they went huge. So Angi was curious, what is something that you could have been on or had that you ended up missing out on? Angi wishes she would have jumped on the regulars like Amazon and Apple. During the pandemic, she wishes that Zoom would have been on her radar. Also regretful misses for her Netflix and Beyond beef. Angi and Abe are also seeking stock tips as well if you have any (ironically I slide Abe a very big one in our group text.) Angi does have Tesla stock though so she should be okay. On the other hand, Abe has nothing. Angi also wishes she could get on her Myspace so she could fetch some old pictures for Throwback Thursday purposes. Another dual example but they didn't miss this time, Abe saw Tom Petty's last concert and Angi saw Prince like 800 times. Turning to the roadies, Pat complained that he keeps missing out on Chainsaw Friday by not winning. However, he has made money off Dogecoin (so he could easily just go buy the damn chainsaw.) Captain Dave missed out on Qualcomm but bounced back by getting RCL (Royal Carribean) which is currently climbing and is going to break a Titanic level ceiling at some point soon.
Finally, Angi wanted to discuss open relationships (which I'll add no thank you, I don't like sharing my toys.) She turned to Abe to ask how he would react if Cathy came home and said that she wanted an open relationship, in that she wanted to date more than one person. Abe wasn't feeling it but he did reveal he knows people who are dating a girl, will bang random chicks and their girlfriends get involved with the other girl as well. However, when talk of a guy getting involved comes up, it becomes absolutely no way. As a side effect of being stuck at home, 10,000 people were asked how interested they would be in open relationships. 28% would be into it and it was mostly weighted toward people under the age of 34. Angi is not really feeling any of this topic personally, Abe decided to ask her a recurring question that continued over and over. Angi said if Jay the Straight was to pull a stunt like that, she would want to be involved. Any other variations (including him alone but over the phone and facetiming would be a no.) The only maybe option would be Halle Berry and that's still a huge maybe. Abe then confused Naperville swingers with open relationships (then again he thought a c-section was done via the thigh.) The big call here came from pink hair Lux, who is an open and polyamourous relationship with her husband. How this came about was because her husband does not know how to be monogamous and she doesn't want to be either. The reason he remains her number 1 is because he's amazing. At the moment, he is seeing two people (outside of her) and she is currently single. Angi was just not feeling this at all, any of it. She thinks that there would be tons of drama coming from doing this. Abe wasn't really either but we've finally moved from heterosexual to couchasexual and mayosexual for him.
