Did you know that you're going to spend nine years of your life on your phone? I bet you're probably reading these notes on your phone. Well, if that's the case, might as well get it over with and go forward to the rest.
It's Chainsaw Friday the 13th, what could possibly go wrong. Well, let's start with the Best Bet of the Week. I, overlord of the naysayers, has to always remain skeptical as I am the one who is also pushing you to sell your plane tickets for that trip you had been planning for month but got canceled for covid, taking the money you were going to use to keep Nana in the home during the winter and even taking the money you were going to use for the Barbie dream house for your daughter. You need to pile all that money up, don't even consider it, just take it and run to your nearest shady bookie (I can recommend one!) and put it all down on this week's best bet. Abe implores you to take New York Giants +3 1/2 against the Philadelphia Eagles and be ready to double all your cash. If he loses this week though, don't worry, he's 2 - 2 and there's always next week!
Abe hates Thanksgiving, this is not exactly a secret as it's something we've been hearing for weeks now and will probably hear up until the big day and then some. He feels the food is too dry and he would rather eat Jersey Mike's, Jimmy Johns and 2 Whoppers. Listener Rich was not having it and he called in to confront Abe about it. Of course, this devolved into a mess of absolute gut busting food peddling. For example, White Castle stuffing. Hooters wing sauce thrown inside the turkey. Even better, throw a Dunkin' bag of bacon inside the turkey as well. See, the trick here to get Abe to like Thanksgiving is not to change the food but fill it with other, disgusting foods that elicit Abe to make noises and lose himself. So much so he even asked if he could come to Thanksgiving at Rich's but you know, covid and all ruined that. All I can think of after hearing this mess is how much this disgusting dinner is going to be stuffing the Thanksgiving toilet.
Finally, today brought forth a new trio of Head Roadies who deserve it for all that they do. Starting with Pedro, who works at the UPS Store and has been a long standing follower of Angi and her shows. He plays the station all day at work and brings forth new interested ears when customers realize there is a new rock station in Chicago. Then there was Kim, who originally called in to discuss her disgust with local morning weather man Conrad Cooper. You see, Kim is so repulsed by the sound of Conrad's voice, she needs to change the dial for all 3 seconds he's on giving a weather update. Somehow, this turned into a potential love interest when Conrad asked if he and Kim could go on a date. Literally smitten, Conrad almost blew it toward the end but I see a future for these crazy kids. Anyway, Kim became our Head Roadie of House Keepers. Lastly, Chris called in to discuss his sneaking in of an Alexa to work to make sure Rock 95.5 is being played at all times. He came off as super charismatic and even offered to throw a Rock 95.5 party at his house. Abe was instantly smitten and so we got a third Head Roadie of the day with Chris now running all Steel Mill Workers. Congrats to the new Head Roadies, go forth and continue spreading the show like it's covid (ugh, too soon.)

So, starting Monday, the next version of covid advisory kicks in. This, of course, caused some confusion with Angi and Abe as they wondered exactly what this encompasses. Are we losing things again or is it going to be a non mandatory suggested stay where you are and stop spreading covid. They were seeking input from any city workers. Luckily, "John Lovitz" called in to shine a little light on what is open and closed. Apparently, restaurants will be closed for dining come Monday (something that was news to me with someone who has a roommate in the dining industry) but contactless delivery will still be available. Either way, the situation is still an absolute mess and is not getting better. Please wear your masks, distance and avoid people if you can, we need to beat this back and it's disheartening to see us spiral so bad.
New segment Anonymous Caller continued to chug along with not only "John Lovitz" checking in as stated in the prior point but also "Cheech," who was calling in to give his deep dark confession. As the name may have given away, he is stoned at work all day and apparently hides it well. Hell, with the way things are going, I can't imagine not wanting to be just blazed and confused all day long. I know I have my Jack ready to go for when the show ends.
Here's an important show note and a little taste of what is to come. Next week, Wolfgang Van Halen will be on the show. This should be an interesting, insightful and as we've seen so far, great interview that will be can't miss.

PSJay: Head Roadies and Roadies, please don't swear when you call in. You represent us out in the world and we want to give you, chainsaws, Jack and hams, not get fines. Anyway, you guys should know better as is. Thanks!
