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 Opening Point:
(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)
With the idea that cold weather is coming soon, all the animals are going to start getting ready to cuff up and calm down for the winter hibernation. This just means that Angi will finally have a few months to calm down from her obsession with wild creatures that should not be congregating outside her house for a hand out. As it is, she has a pigeon palace next door to Floptopia and if she had her way, she would end up creating a raccoon sanctuary as well. This nonsense started with us discussing internet meme monster Moo Deng who was going crazy and biting everyone the other day in a "playful manner." This will translate to her eventually getting chompers and taking a foot during a game of hide & seek. Someone who now understands why you're not supposed to feed wild animals though is a woman who had to flee her house after 100 racoons showed up looking for dinner one night and they got pissed when she ran out of hot dogs and french fries for all of them. It seems that this idiot had been feeding these raccoons for over 35 years and so a multigenerational pattern of behavior was ingrained for them to come through day and night asking the bitch for a sandwich. Angi still didn't seem dismayed by the idea of allowing herself to become a victim of this extortion but maybe the cost to deal with the mess would help change her tune. Animal rescue said it would cost $500 a head to crate and ship off the beasts and that would be an additional $50,000 on top of however much money she spent over 35 years handing out Uncrustables to the feral friends. Obviously on this show, we always aim to offer proper solutions (I'll give you a moment to get that laugh out) and Mike offered to bring his bear mace to chase them all off. We don't know if there is raccoon spray but we do know that bear mace works on everyone so that might do the trick. Before coming up with more (see: stupid) ideas, they pondered again the cost of feeding and what it was like when there were 50 raccoons and then as the numbers increased, she should have realized problems were coming. The other big problem is that feeding them makes them lose their fear of humans and then when they don't get fed, they throw an absolute fit. Angi knew this all too well (and yet still wanted to feed them) as she once went to a monkey sanctuary and was feeding three of them bananas. When she ran out though, the monkeys got big mad and started to pull her hair and one stole her cigarettes out of her Prada bag. Obviously, she was scared and took off but this is also a controlled environment. In a neighborhood, you create an environment for disease spread and decreased property values when the raccoons start sticking up the neighbors with knives when they come home from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mike offered up one more "helpful" tip before we pulled out of this woodland nightmare, build a moat and just pray the racoons can't swim.
Call in Main Point:
Bouncing off of a cautionary tale to a sad one, today's Daily Discussion Topic made us confront death. It seems that Angi has gotten a little too comfortable with the idea of living a few times during Don't Kill Angi and so she needed to bring things down a morbid notch by asking about our final moment songs. Lifting from UK hospice provider Marie Curie's article that asked 1,000 people the last song a loved one heard as they were going to flatline, the top 10 ended up shaking out like this:
10. "These Are the Days of Our Lives" by Queen
9. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles
8. "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera
7. "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
6. "Angels" by Robbie Williams
5. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
4. "Over The Rainbow" by Judy Garland
3. "(Simply) The Best" by Tina Turner
2. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston
1. "My Way" by Frank Sinatra
Now that we've seen the list, I know you're dying to hear the crews so let's get into it. Marris picke "In the End" by Linkin Park which is completely fitting of him but in the context, the lyrics made Angi sad. Mike picked "My Way" by Limp Bizkit because he wants to blow out the hospital (he packed a bear mace bomb in his luggage.) As for Angi, she's doing "Bye Bye Bye" by N'Sync because she wants Marris and Mike to marionette her like Bernie from Weekend at Bernies to do the dance. As for myself, I want to go on a journey so I'm picking the 25 minute mind warp that is "Impossible Soul" by Sufjan Stevens. With all of us now dead, let's see what the Request Line offered up. First to die was Kurt who said "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart. Rad Dad said "No More Tears" by Ozzy Osbourne. Chris picked the delightful "Die Mfer Die" by Dope. Matt almost made Angi cry by picking "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. Mike (I think, I may have missed this guy's name tbh) picked "100 Years" by Five for Fighting which is another tear jerker. Mike (this one is right) and like 100 others picked "Fade to Black" by Metallica. Beer Dave picked "Fking Hostile" by Pantera. Angi then told us how she tried to game the morphine station when she almost died giving birth because well, she's a crackhead. She then told us how her dentist kept getting robbed but the teens were dying from it because they weren't mixing the gas with oxygen, idiots.

Right, another listicle is here to make the time go by fast but this one involves the NFL. Since the season is underway, a question of the sexist quarterback was asked and answered by People magazine.

Marris was not having it though because he said the list is missing his MCM Jared Goff who Angi thinks is ugly but Marris likes because he is on the Lions. Mike said he is better looking than Russell Wilson but Angi continued in on the poor guy saying he looks like he drinks milk and smells like hotdog water.
Oh would you look at that, another listicle (again) only this is more within the season even though the football one is technically as well. The Top 10 Halloween costumes for this year are:

Finally, Green Day is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dookie by creating a bunch of collectable crap that no one needs. Each piece from the collection will contain a "demastered" version of one song from the album on outdated and inconvenient tech.
“Burnout” – Player Piano Roll
“Having A Blast” – Floppy Disk
“Chump” – Teddy Ruxpin
“Longview” – Doorbell
“Welcome To Paradise” – Game Boy Cartridge
“Pulling Teeth” – Toothbrush
“Basket Case” – Big Mouth Billy Bass
“She” – HitClip
“Sassafras Roots” – 8-track
“When I Come Around” – Wax Cylinder
“Coming Clean” – X-Ray Record
“Emenius Sleepus” – Answering Machine
“In The End” – MiniDisc
“F.O.D.” – Fisher Price Record
“All By Myself” – Music Box
These will all be available in limited quantities and you need to enter into a drawing for a chance to spend $19-$99 on this garbage. Angi thinks this is a smart and cool new way to market collectibles that will definitely be worth money one day but honestly, who needs this junk?
Request Wars 4.0

10 O' Clock Toast:
Toastee: Grazer the Bear
This absolute unit of a female bear won the contest for the fattest bear for the second year in a row by 40,000 votes beating out Chonk who killed her son. Mike assumed that his bear mace could beat Chonk, we then talked about the Ninja Turtles, Angi justified beastiality and I sent her on a path to find celebrity otters (in other words, listen to this mess on the podcast.)
