Call in Points:
(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)
I woke up this morning and thought it was Friday, which isn't untypical during covid but more so because it's a holiday week. Halloween literally feels like yesterday, today is Green Wednesday and this weekend is Christmas I think or something.
So, are you ready for your weekly dose of utter disappointment, only a few days early. Now, if you're a little bitch like me, you revel in waiting for this announcement. That's right, it's time for the Best Bet of the Week. You know the drill, this is a can't miss pick so start prepping for it. That means you need to go hit up your elderly aunt for that inheritance she promised to give you when she drops dead. Go to the bank, take all the money you were going to use for Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. Forgo celebrating Green Wednesday so you can have a Green Sunday! So, if you're the betting type, Abe's Best Bet of the Week this week is to take the Los Angeles Rams -7 against the San Francisco 49'ers. Btw, one last quick note, don't bitch if you lose.
Right, moving on. Angi showed up onWindy City Live, a local morning news type show (for you out of towners reading this) and did her monthly guest appearance. She started by presenting an idea for White Castle stuffing, which she passed off as an idea "from a listener." Mrs. Taylor, I'll have you know that the listener's name was Rich and he is a valuable member of our roadie community. It seemed like it was a one and done type thing until Angi then stole Abe's have Will Ferrell hostJeopardyidea, only this time completely passing it off as her own. Outraged, Abe of course complained about the whole thing but came to learn that doesn't matter. Angi basically explained that she can and will take all ideas, it is her show after all. So take note roadies when you call in, copyright everything because she will take your ideas. This is payback for having all her ideas stolen for years.
Finally, let it be noted that Abe went to Columbia College here in Chicago and not Columbia University in New York. You see, Abe saying he went to Columbia may lead to some confusion for listeners who are not local, like Head Roadie of all of Australia Hayden and Head Roadie of Canada Canadian Konrad. It should also be noted that his major through the 4 years was undeclared so yeah, good stuff all around. Whatever, it's the day before a holiday and I checked out like Monday. Plus, I have an Amazon Fresh order coming and I think that's entirely more important to think about then this nonsense.

Are you super vain and can't get enough of yourself? This is fine I guess but do not let Angi know about it. While celebrating what has become the hottest party spot of 2020, Angi found herself in a Zoom Happy Hour. It was there, to her horror, that she saw a co-worker (who hopefully isn't listening or reading this mess of wordplay) that had tons of pictures of herself on the wall in the room she was Zooming from. After a little back and forth, a skoch of shade and an off air discussion as to who it was, there was a lesson to take away from all this apparently. Be careful of what you decide to use as your Zoom background because you're probably going to have it discussed on national radio the next morning.
Today's Drunk Ninja hails from Utah and let me tell you, this guy really had a great idea. Wasted out of his skull, doing a 110 mph, he was pulled over by the cops eventually. His excuse, he assumed the cops were trying to race him. Needless to say, he was hit with a ton of different citations for her stunt. This story led Angi to recall a story of her own, involving her father. He once used his thick Serbian accent to pull a fast one on the cops. He was simply a foreigner who didn't know better. When he was pulled over for speeding, doing 75 on Highway 94, he told the cop, in an even more played up accent, that he thought the 94 was the speed limit. This actually worked (and is kind of brilliant) so of course that led to Abe wondering if he could do the same thing himself and make it work.
Lastly, since tomorrow is a big meat day, why not indulge in a bit more meat news. Burger King Japan has an extreme burger, which is all meat and no buns. That's right, this monster that weighs over a pound and is 4 fat patties of meat stacked on each other. It costs $13 and is apparently the new Double Down. Remember that mess, which was two fried chicken breasts with sauce stuffed in the middle. Same difference, it's all delicious and will kill you all the same. Abe, of course, would be first in line for this meaty mess if it ever came to the states.
From all of us here at The Angi Taylor Show, have a happy, safe and distanced Thanksgiving. Wear your masks, avoid unnecessary people and enjoy what you can, one day we will all finally be able to come together and celebrate properly. Have a good one everyone, see you on Monday for a hopefully studio based week of absolute nonsense.
