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.)

Monday once again and we are here, we are upright and we are ready to go. Sure, we might be physically here but not mentally and we're being propped up by stands and we keep looking at the clock every few minutes but again, we are present. It is Monday though and that means we're looking for our bearings after a weekend of drinking (me,) getting attacked by mosquitoes (Angi) and geeking out over the announcement of The Last Ronin Ninja Turtles game (Marris.) For this reason, today was a mixed bag of stuff and because writing a fun lead in is hard when there's different things to unify into cohesion, let's just dive on in. So today is National Tattoo Removal Day, yet another holiday created by a random person to celebrate (or in this case sell) a service. The creator of the holiday is the guy who invented laser tattoo removal and so our Daily Discussion topic was all about regretful tattoos. Seeing as Angi has several and Marris is sleeved on up (as is Jay the Straight,) there has to be some regrets right. For Marris, he loves all his ink and is actually looking forward to finishing off his secondary sleeve (the tribal soccer tattoo thing.) As for Angi, she has a few small hidden ones but there was one that needed to go. In a story told on air prior, Angi explained how she once had a Tweety Bird tattoo that she got during an ill advised (see young and stupid) 18 year old adventure with friends when Looney Tunes was super hot. However, for her lavish wedding (where an uninvited guest was selling cocaine,) Angi was going to be showing shoulders in her dress and she didn't want to look like she was having a dream trailer park wedding (the irony.) After 6 sessions which she compared to having a hand on a hot stove at all times, it was gone. Luckily for her, she didn't go down the route of someone she knows who had the tattoo skin cut off the ring finger to get rid of the regretted ink. As for myself, I have no tattoos and the one I did consider getting had a dual meaning so it would share memory and an incredibly NSFW sex act which made me take the idea off the table. Right then, you've heard our offering so to the Request Line and the roadies we go. Megan has a literal totem pole of dead cats on her shoulder blade. It started with one and then another cat died, then another, then another (you get the idea.) We checked to make sure that she was not a serial pet murderer but it was just a bunch of animals brought in at the same time that also decided to check out at the same time. She will be getting it removed though as she is in her brother's black tie wedding party and does not want to showcase the pet semetary on her arm. Chrissy has a heart tattoo on her cheek in honor of her son that was murdered 15 years ago but with the career she's getting into, she feels compelled to have it taken off. Angi then offered up how her brother in law once cheated and got a broken heart tattoo, the marriage got back on track but the tattoo is a reminder of what occurred. Tom has a tattoo of his ex and daughter, he had the ex portion covered up but left his daughter. Head Roadie Troy got a tattoo of a girlfriend's name in a heart at 22. They broke up a month later and his wife eventually had him remove it. Rose Marie has a Japanese wrist tattoo for good and evil. It was a matching one with an abusive ex. She covered up the bad symbol with a rose to symbolize her mother and kept the good portion for herself. Adam has a clipart push lawn mower over his pubes and promised to send Angi the pic of it and I need to see this as soon as she gets her hands on it.

Other Stuff from Today's Show:

So as summer winds down, that means wedding season is nearly halfway over. Sure, there is still a good two months before you start getting into the theme weddings (Halloween, So I Married a Turkey, Winter Wonderland, etc) but for now, things are still in full swing. This was best showcased by Angi mentioning that this upcoming weekend, she has a three day Indian wedding to go to. Well, correction she just needs to go on Friday and Saturday because unlike Jay the Straight who is in the wedding party and will be riding elephants and the such, she is just wife eye candy for two days. Normally, Angi hates doing anything on weekends that doesn't involve her just lying on the couch but this is great because she loves different cultural traditions. This was also a perfect way to bring up a topic about weddings and giving people what they really want as a gift. See, the age old question usually comes down to do you follow a registry or give a cash gift. Personally, I always just give cash at weddings but I also am a buffoon who gets too drunk at them and therefore don't get invited to too many anymore. Marris explained that when his brother and wife got married 10 years ago, he got them Bears tickets. Angi elaborated that she tends to do cash as most people don't need a toaster. However, it doesn't feel classy to give money but does anyone really want a chip and dip bowl set? This is where she offered up her ultimate wedding hack which was to register at Bed, Bath & Beyond (RIP) because you could exchange all your wedding gifts for cash (no wonder they went under.) In turn, she and Jay took all that cash and went to Vegas (where Angi had to work the pole to get back enough money to get home after blowing it all at blackjack.) The thing is though, new newlyweds are trying to break the tradition of gifting and are asking for cash to help pay down payments on a house. This honestly makes sense though because when the tradition of wedding gifts initially started, it was two 20 somethings who were starting a life and probably had nothing for a home. Nowadays consumerism is rampant and people usually have stuff from their previously established life before jumping into a commitment like marriage. Another idea is something people Marris knows did which is to ask for money to create a "Honeyfund" which is cashed used to fund the honeymoon. Speaking further on weddings, Angi and Marris are both attending one together in October for a coworker. Before considering that though, Angi needs to figure out how much she needs to give out at the wedding this weekend. $100 a person seems reasonable as it would cover the plate but Jay the Straight is in the wedding party so she needs to pony up more cash. I guess this means she'll be giving up scratchie buying for a few days so she can throw more into the pot at the big event though she is excited to go so that's all that really matters, right?

Now, at a wedding, people tend to drink too much and so they need to take an Uber or Lyft home when it's done. With the pandemic though, drivers got hit hard and it made it harder to find someone to drive you. That kind of problem is starting to find a solution in San Francisco, where self-driving robo taxis are starting to take off. This is great news for one subsection of riders though and that is the ones who bang in taxis. Apparently, this is happening fairly commonly and no one wants to discuss it. One guy even said that he has gotten busy in a taxi three times already which I mean, is kind of awesome. That said though, this is nothing new as anyone who has seen Taxicab Confessions can attest to. There though, you had a driver and the act was being filmed and these people didn't care. Oddly enough, it is being filmed in these unmanned taxis as well but the security footage is randomly screened so you're getting busy is not normally being used to get busy, so to speak. However, if you get caught, you will be banned which is a bummer but also makes sense. After all, who is cleaning these things between rides when this is occurring. Like what if someone vomits in the taxi or leaves a phone, how are issues like that dealt with? This also brought talk of the upcoming United air taxi which is basically a 10 minute helicopter ride that will get you to O'Hare fast. At a certain price point Marris would be open to it but wouldn't do it all the time. Angi would not get in the flying death trap as she is afraid of helicopters but then again, so is Marris which sort of negates his maybe doing it, right? So I guess the takeaway here is that helicopters are not safe and if you bang in a taxi, driver or not, you're getting watched.

Finally, people apparently love to lie about their age, height and weight. This is not true on this show because Angi will proudly say she is 49, Marris is 36 and I'm 43. Angi does this though because she is still smoking hot and she wants everyone to know she looks good for her age. If you don't compliment her, she will run it back and say it again until you do (or else.) Height is harder to hide though 79% say they haven't lied about it. Angi called absolute bull on this one and then revealed she is 5'9, Marris is 5'10 and I'm 5'8. Jay the Straight loves to say Angi is 5'8 as well but only because they are the same height and he does not appreciate that. The weight lie though exists in the driver's license where Angi's says she is 145 (and that was in like 9th grade) but she's probably 20 pounds heavier now though she lost some recently so the goal could be in reach. Marris' says 215 though he's 255 currently. He wants to use it as a goal post though to hit for his next license reup. Me, I'm a fat mess so yeah, I stopped counting ages ago. That said, we did learn that younger men are the ones who are most likely to fake stats because the young male ego is oh so fragile.

So this one went personal as Angi called on Marris and I to help explain why Jay the Straight is mad at Angi. After questioning why he was only taking one dog out and not getting a proper response, Angi pushed and Jay the Straight got mad. We were vague in our answer offering but Angi figures men always stick up for men so we're kind of the problem, I think.
