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.)
It's a fresh week so of course things went all Monday this morning when the systems locked up and for a moment the ghost of radio stations past haunted us. After Bobby Bones threatened to take over mornings, Abe was able to grab the handles and right the plane before it crashed back into country.
Noted local celebrity andThe Masked Singerhost Jenny McCarthy called in to help promote Dunkin's new Sugar Plum Macchiato drink. To make things even better, she brought some Dunkin' gift cards along with her for two lucky listeners. There was a discussion about doughnuts, where Abe proudly announced he ate two and Jenny upstaged him and mentioned that she ate 4. Jenny mentioned that she lives in St. Charles, so the roots to the city remain strong. Abe, classic with his ridiculous questions, chimed in to ask if Jenny is privy to all that Wahlburger money. Jenny announced that the Blockheads (fans of New Kids on the Block) are cool with her. The interview closed out with a discussion about the New Kids on the Block annual Cruise, which was canceled three weeks before it was meant to happen this year thanks to that damn covid.
So Angi's 15 year old daughter is having the wonderful world of cinema opened up to her. As a lover of all things Leo Dicaprio, Angi showed herThe Basketball Diariesover the weekend and she loved it. Next on the plate of movies to watch isCruel Intentions. This of course detour slightly when Abe mentioned he's never seen the movie. When we steered back, we learned that her daughter loves 90's movies. This led to a listener check in, what movies do you think Angi's daughter needs to see. Abe gave his list to start and it began with two honorable mentions:La BambaandBlood In, Blood Out. His top 5 followed and wentThe Warriors,Casino,Goodfellas,RoundersandSwingers. Basically Abe's idea for a 15 year old girl are all dude flicks. Further down the line, he also contributed more to the list:Neverending Story,Howard the Duck,Wedding Crashers,Encino ManandRunning Man. Turning to the listeners, their suggestions varied greatly. Matt said she needs to check outThe Karate Kid. Another Matt suggestedRemember the Titans. Ray saidThe 40 Year Old Virginwas the way to go. Katie saidFast Times at Ridgemont High. Kristina went with the Pauly Shore ledBiodome. Cindy suggestedWargames. Tim is all aboutThe Breakfast Club. In the end, Abe said he would love to put together a movie night for her daughter. My suggestions were extremely varied:Soapdish,Purple Rain,Halloween,Airplane,Better Off Dead,Heathersand my favorite movie of all timeThe Rocky Horror Picture Show. Do you have a suggestion for her, feel free to message Angi on Twitter and let her know.
Finally, a guy who wanted to get rid of his girlfriend but didn't have the stones to do it decided to pay for it instead. Overspending $300 on a Cameo video from Bruce Buferr, he had the announcer tell her that it was time to get out. So, this led to a question, have you ever been dumped in a weird way? Angi explained how she dated a guy who once just literally stopped talking to her out of nowhere. After investigating with the guys mother (who really liked Angi and vice versa,) she was confused as well as to why the ghosting occurred but reassured Angi (and more than likely herself) that her son wasn't gay. Somehow (not shocking) the topic itself got lost in discussion on other things. Angi explained that she was asked to join Cameo but she chose not to. If a listener is seeking a video, she is willing to do it for free. In fact, if you want Angi and Abe to make a video for you, hit them on Twitter and let them know. Somehow this segwayed yet again and spun off into Abe coming up with a new business venture. He will do calls and videos for people but use his Ozzie Guillén voice. The first one will be free but like all pushers, you'll be charged after that. In the meantime, if you have a request or have anything to literally add on the topic that originally began this mess, feel free to leave Angi and Abe a message on Twitter.

Running on those ridiculous fumes of being high off a win, Abe's Best Bet of the Week is a sure fire hit once more. Abe, King of the Gambling World, is now here to teach all of us how to gamble. This is that balloon that keeps on blowing up until it actually does blow up and leaves us all holding empty dollar sign covered bags. Until this happens, it's all about doing what feels wrong, this should be our mantra. So when you come to see a game that makes absolutely no sense, that is Vegas trying to trick you. Bet with Abe and win big, with a new bet coming Friday. In fact, Abe even said he's planning on betting his whole paycheck this week.
In today's Drunk Ninja news, a man named Frank was seeking a drink. You see, he had already drank two bottles of wine and obviously he was not tipsy enough. There were some issues though, aside from the inebriation, there was a massive snow storm outside and his wife had taken the car out. So, the next option available was the next best thing, his tractor trailer. He drove it over to the liquor store and picked up four more bottles of wine. However, the cops had been waiting and they seperated the man from his vehicle. The moral of this whole story, don't drive your John Deere to the liquor store.
Lastly, Angi has a rat problem that Jay the Straight had to deal with because that sounds about right. Sitting outside of Angi's front gate was a nice big dead rat, sprawled out and tossed onto her sidewalk. Immediately, she went inside and demanded Jay the Straight be rid of it. Fetching a broom, he had a great idea, just throw it in the street. The Godfatheresqe omen could still be seen from the windows though and Angi wanted it gone further. Without too many details, Angi had the rat tossed further down the street (probably into a neighbors yard that she doesn't like.) The broom btw got a death sentence after all of this. Plenty of things came from this as well. Angi is rich and has multiple brooms, who is throwing the rats on Angi's sidewalk (the guy next door probably,) and a PSAngi: Don't feed pigeons and of course, don't throw dead rats at her house.
