There is a lot to unpack today, so much so that I'm finding it hard to come up with something witty and silly to say. These notes are going to be longer than Nine Inch Nick by the time I get through with them.
So, as indoor eating is now done for the foreseeable future, covid is on everyone's brain. So, it felt only fitting that new covid dating terms was a topic of discussion today. So, here they are:
Antibody Boy: A guy who has covid antibodies.
Coronazone: When you don't want to come over for fear of the virus.
Covid Divorce: Spending too much time in the same place with one person causes friction and sometimes makes people stabby.
Covid Worthy: Having qualities that make you worthy of the risk of catching covid.
Quarantine and Chill: Like Netflix only you know, you chance catching covid and an STD.
Quarantine Bae: The person you're seeing exclusively during quarantine.
Turbo Relationship: A sped up relationship evolved from spending so much time together due to quarantine.
Virtual Date: Can't go out, Zoom yourself a potential mate.
Zumped: Getting dumped via Zoom.
Following the trend of lists that get read off because it makes for interesting conversation, today Angi gave us a list of the top 10 Least Safe cities in the U.S. Abe was able to correctly identify Baltimore as smack dab number one and it was followed by Dallas, Alberque (where they're moving the Isotopes to!) Austin, Miami, Oakland, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Minneapolos and Nashville. The balance to this of course was the list of the 10 Safest cities, which started with San Diego. The rest of the list never materialized because Angi and Abe spent the rest of the segment fantasizing about San Diego and how great it is.
Finally, prolific producer Butch Vig, discussed that due to the cultural climate, the impact of Nirvana's Nevermind would no longer be viable. So it had to be asked, what other things that came out forever ago, could never be done today. Matt said Song of the South (movie,) Trisha said Money for Nothing (Dire Straits music video,) Alan said Elvis which made him a winner (musician,) Chris said ska and punk rock from the early 2000's (music,) high schooler Dylan said The Crucible and All Shook Up (plays.) My personal addition to the list would have to be Soapdish, Sleepaway Camp and Drawn Together, all brilliant but also never could get made today.
Extra Notes:
As part of Jay the Straight's campaign to embarrass his wife, he gave Abe a video of Angi snoring, which was played after a discussion of an upcoming pill that may curb snoring but give fun side effects like suicidal thoughts.
Foggy brained Angi saw a video of two pitches being thrown at the same time as part of replay technology and assumed it really happened and she was astounded by two balls being thrown at once. Angi is apparently an idiot.
Moving on to another list, Washington Football Team still has no add on to their name and so it was time to brainstorm some ideas for what they could be called. Angi and Abe had a few thoughts such as Washington Dumpster Fire, Washington Velociraptors, Washington Deer and Washington Triceratops. Listener Eric suggested the Washington Corrupters and listener Rick suggested the Washington Foreskins. Personally, we should just call them trash and move right along.
Evening Host Palmer was interviewed and aside from her super fun personality, we were able to learn a bit about her. This includes but isn't limited to: She feels that she looks like she's 12. She's a transplant from DC. She's excited to stalk John Mulaney. She did 12 years of Catholic school. Angi's boss loves Palmer's husband. Her husband is a bartender (I'm swooning.) She refers to herself as a trash human, she's a garbage person and she loves it. She feels that eating 3 meals a day at 7-11 is acceptable.

"If you live in california, you don't deserve to have a white christmas." - Abe
"What women do you know named Horace?" - Angi
What would you do for a free taco? Abe would wait in a line 5 people deep. Angi wouldn't wait at all because lines make her sick.
