This is just a small taste of the show overall, the bits and bobs that I found interesting, funny, insightful and relevant. To hear everything that happened, check out the podcast of today's show. However, if you're looking for 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.)
The best part about Wednesday aside from meaning we've hit the middle of the week and the weekend is almost here is just how random they tend to be. I mean, everything is firing on all cylinders but we go from sex dreams to TV show consumption to our Daily Discussion topic this morning which involves being banned from places. Funny enough, a TV star was the spark for this stroll down bragging lane because Sarah Michelle Gellar aka Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is the reason Angi needed to know what places the roadies are not allowed. Sarah's banning came at the ripe age of 5 when she shot a Burger King commercial that made fun of McDonald's. In a shocking twist, McDonald's was so mad about the whole ordeal that they not only sued Burger King but also Sarah Michelle Gellar. In turn, she was also banned from McDonald's because as we all know, corporations being petty is a hot look. As always, we next turn to the show mouth pieces to see where they are no longer allowed to go. Marris is banned from an unnamed frat house but not because he acted like a swimmer or current WWE wrestler and got too frisky with a drunk passed out college girl. Instead, his removal came at the hands of a frat brother who had four of his goons kick and ban him from the house because Marris was talking to a girl the guy was going after as well and Marris was getting more attention. As for Angi, she too is banned from an unnamed place but this is a bar that no longer exists. On a night out with friends, they ordered the cheapest possible bottle service to make sure they got a table. The thing was, what they ordered was the cheapest bottle of champagne and the hostess instead opted to serve a $600 bottle. Fighting words were said and Angi's "friend" ended up flipping a tray out of the severs hand. After being tossed onto the street, the friend talked to the owner (who they knew) and in a hilarious twist of fate, blamed Angi for the incident because they look alike. Angi ended up being banned straight away and that bar closed down a year later after a shooting took place inside (karma is real y'all.) As for myself, I'm still banned from X (formerly Twitter) for making a joke on a show post to my friend in Scotland about cutting off his hands for talking smack on said show post (second appeal incoming when I have free time!) Enough of us though, the Request Line was lit up with (stories) roadies so let's see a few of theirs. Gina was booted and blocked from a South Side bar for exploiting ladies night by having men pay for all her drinks. Brian called to tell a tale but suffered a stroke midway through the call opening (or something so we moved on.) Jacob was banned from McDonald's in Thailand after having too many Jack & Cokes at a bar next door and then turning the restaurant into a vomitorium. Pictures of him and his boys were taken (while covered in vomit) and posted all over the restaurant while also banning them from 2 to 3 other places in the area. Lisa was banned from a Denny's after finding a baked hair in her omelette and then arguing with a waitress who accused her of putting it there. Ken was banned from a South Side family owned bar after getting into a fight with the owners. Alan was booted from a Wisconsin campground after getting a bit too drunk and rowdy. Brett was banned from a Best Buy in Indiana for going into it and basically acting like a spray girl toward a female customer.

Other Stuff from Today's Show
As for the rest of this morning's nonsense, it seems that everything was TV related. Further in you'll hear of Angi's newest obsession show and why house renovations shows are garbage but first, let's talk about sex. No, not sex in the sense you're thinking because if we went that route, we would have enough money to not get up and do this every day at 5 A.M. I mean imaginary sex or in this case, dream sex, for which Angi finds herself currently plagued by. Gone are the days of being eiffel towered by Brad Pitt and that guy from Power and onto Angi finally showing her age. Last night, Angi had a sex dream about Ted Danson. Now, I know you could see this making sense if we're talking Sam Malone from Cheers Ted Danson but no, she's going full The Good Place old and gray Ted Danson. She assumed this was triggered by seeing him on Curb Your Enthusiasm but she hasn't watched an episode of that in months. She attempted to block out this silver fox retirement home walker wheelchair fondle fest but clearly it was present when she came in and she needs someone to help her dissect it. Asking Marris for help would make sense but like, if she was dreaming about the Ninja Turtles, he might be able to help. Needless to say, she did not get off but clearly she needs to because otherwise, she might move on to like Al Pacino or Robert DeNiro present day next. If she's unlucky though, she might end up with Tom Selleck though and have him attempt to take her new house.
Speaking of homes, how ironic that I can segway from that onto the next part of this, which was part of Angi's TV one-two punch this morning. This first section involved how HGTV and home renovation shows in general are ruining the world with wild expectations that don't match reality. Angi is a fan of HGTV, she had a subscription to Discovery+ before everyone was forced to have one and just loves renovation porn in general (like that video Two Burly Men Take Off Their Shirts and Install Rebar.) Marris too can get behind this idea because he'll see renovation shows, in turn want to renovate his condo and then buy stuff to do it and nothing happens. House Hunters, Windy City Rehab and that married couple that live in a barn or whatever are all part of trends that make us feel bad. See, these pumped up and idealized versions of shows are actually just the magic of TV and not the actual reality of a home renovation. They give off false impressions of cheap, super easy and quick jobs when the reality is not that at all. On shows, roadblocks are dealt with in minutes and all the flourishes are usually cheap and superficial. Take Extreme Home Makeover where every house was essentially as big a flop house as Angi's old money pit but made to look pretty for TV. Another issue with these renovation shows is they make every house look the same inside and uniqueness is lost to a cookie cutter concept that is only cool because TV told you it was. On these shows, the contractor dudes are nuts and the woman is smart and there to save the day every time. These are all just illusions created to entertain but also entice you to spend by making you feel like your place is not good enough. The reality is if you wanna hang several Ninja Turtle posters on your walls (that explains alot,) do it. What you definitely don't want is a barn door in your bathroom though like Angi's old house because as trendy as it is, it masks no sounds and it looks like a bathroom stall in your master bedroom.
Finally, The Angi Taylor Book Cl...err TV Show Circle has a new piece of media for you to indulge in. From the streaming service that brought you paying for your own streaming and not stealing your parents, Netflix, comes the next hot new show Untold. This docu series focuses on an athlete from all spectrums of the word and covers the stories about them you did not know. The subject of the newest episode was Johnny Manziel aka Johnny Football, who was a college darling that imploded in the NFL. Without spoiling anything, it was apparently crazy and filled with revelations including autograph selling, mental health struggles and misery. There were tons of factors that we didn't know about going on outside of game day and that led to his downfall. Now, Angi hates seeing wasted talent but more so, she loves watching drama unfold. Well that is unless it involves people like Jake Paul who was the subject of the last episode and she skipped that. We also discovered that Marris lost his Netflix hook up but Angi has him covered seeing as everyone at iHeart uses all her streaming logins as is.
