This is a small taste of the show overall, the bits and bobs that I found interesting and funny, insightful and relevant. To hear everything that happened, check out the podcast version of the show. If you want a quick read along with random self inserts and my personal thoughts, you've come to the right place.
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 and may contain things that were cut for time.)
Welcome to the Abi and Auggie Show ... wait, no, that's the other morning show I do notes for in an alternate reality. On this show, we need to thank our lucky stars that Abe was not killed yesterday (as much as Angi led us to believe it via Twitter.) So now that things are sorted, onward to the notes.
Hey service industry workers, Angi has a question. What are things that you've done to get back at bad customers? For example, when Angi was a bartender, she would give guys shots of margarita mix and they couldn't tell the difference. Another round guys, enjoy your premixed non alcoholic shot, losers! Abe, of course, questioned and assumed that Angi would get a ton of regulars (cause she's a hot mama.) Anyway, some of the examples from the given list were under blending peoples smoothies, using decaf for espresso shots, putting fart spray in grocery aisles, giving out cold butter when they ask for butter and booking seats on flights that are close to the bathroom on the plane. A rather lengthy but interesting point came from a discussion about one guy who ordered a De La Hoya fight, only to have it crap out on him. After calling the service tech to fix it, which he did, the customer called him a slur and so the agent turned off the stream again and told all the other workers to keep it off as well. Roadie Bob called in to tell how his ex worked at a club and when she would get scumbags, she would put Visine in their drinks and then take bets with other servers to see how long it took before they had to go to the bathroom. We ended on that highly illegal note.
Another round of Roadie Roundtable was brought forth today and well, it was interesting to say the least. Kelly has a dilemma and ironically it's not related to her thinking that covid is "done." (Sidenote, I have so many things I wouldn't mind calling her.) Kelly is getting married...for a 3rd time. Is it unreasonable for her to ask her friends to throw her a bachelorette party because you know, she's getting married yet again. It should be noted that there will also be a big wedding. Abe believes that there should be a bachelor party as well (because her fiance's mother wants it apparently.) Kelly's excuse for all this is because things are slowly opening up, she should have the chance to party. As for our hosts, they had differing opinions. Angi said she should do it but she can understand the overall hesitation. Abe said that Kelly has disappointed her friends twice already so she should pay for them to go out this time. Another hilarious thing that came from this, Abe actually knows who this woman is. It turns out Kelly's friend's husband is in Abe's fantasy league and ironically, Abe has heard said friend making comments. So the question is, should she throw it or rely on her friends to foot the party. Roadie Jenna called in to say that Kelly needs to check her manners and that no one is stepping up because they don't want to do it. (May I add here at this point, Kelly comes off as truly something.) Amanda thinks that Kelly should rent an Airbnb and turn it into a BYOB party. April said that she should drop hints and see how her friends respond to them. Before the topic was even finished, Kelly hung up on Angi and Abe so take note, if you can't handle the bants, don't call in to complain about your friends.
Finally, as we learned last week, Angi's dog Suge had a seizure and the dog got pain killers. So Angi of course had to ask a fantastic question. "Is it weird if I'm trying to steal my dogs painkillers, is that wrong?" Suge is really having the time of her life on these pills, laying on the couch and watching Netflix. She finished the whole first season of Bridgerton on her own. This led to discussing Martha Stewart selling cannabis treats. After more discussion about dogs being on meds, Angi then moved onto yet another questionable point. She not only wants to try the dogs pain pill and then she wants to spike Jay the Straight's drink with Viagra. Angi assumed though that the 7 hour erection may lead to a hospital visit. Anyway, Angi is like the living embodiment of the best friend you never had and you will forever need.
Request Wars:
Current Champion: Erin (2x)
Challenger Song Choice: "Toxicity"
Champion Song Choice: "I Am the Fire"
Song choices were so-so imo (boring vs overplayed) but dear god, the smack talk was next level. I would call the cops to come deal with this because there was definitely an absolutely wrecked body after that.
Winner: Mario

If you were feeling a bit on the hungry side this morning, it might have to do with the earliest hour of the show being spent discussing food. For example, Angi went to lunch at a bar yesterday and she had an amazing time. She had french onion soup and a glass of wine and her friend had fries and Angi left a fantastic tip. When pressed where they should go after the show, Abe suggested Fogo which just made Angi shudder and get the meat sweats. Next up, there was a discussion about nuggets because of a giveaway involving a bouquet of nuggets. The pair discussed their sauce choices. Abe likes to do honey with his. Angi does honey mustard, ranch, well basically anything that isn't ketchup which she feels does not belong on nuggets (I completely disagree btw.) In the third and final section, plenty of interesting information came out. Angi hates pancakes or any type of dessert food for breakfast for that matter. If it was covered in wine though, that might be a different story. This final piece was brought on by a maybe coming soon Butterfinger peanut butter. That turned to Nutella, which Angi's daughter loves and the restaurant that is based around it downtown is a tourist trap. If anyone needs me, I'll be eating myself stupid now.
So, parents out there, have you ever lost or misplaced your child while you were out? This happened to Angi once when her daughter hid in the clothes rack at the mall and scared her stupid when she finally emerged. This was all brought on by a mom sharing something she learned on TikTok. If you lose your child, yell out descriptions of them and not their names. Outfit, hair color, etc, make it known exactly what kid they are looking for. Beloved Head Roadie Mama Kanna checked in after that to discuss a time Abe (aka Jan Brady) was lost as a kid. He was in Cub Scouts and he was doing a flyer job for a pizza place. While literally being paid pennies, he was dropped off in a random place and ended up getting lost. Luckily, after finding a lady having a beer on her porch, she allowed him to use her phone to call home. He was scooped up and saved but it had taken hours. The end result was Abe almost being molested, making no money off passing out these flyers and of course, older and traumatized Abe telling the pizza place to f off (today, all these years later.) Final thought on this, I absolutely adore Mama Kanan.
Lastly, Abe went on a diatribe because even though there's barely anyone currently working in their building, someone is destroying all the toilets on their floor. They start out pristine and amazing and by near the end of the morning, they are all wrecked. A list of suspects was produced (of radio people working in the building.) Detective Abe is on the case to discover who it is that is destroying these toilets. Angi doesn't understand why men spend so much time in the bathroom, including Jay the Straight who's in there for a half hour ... allegedly. Not one to let this fly, Jay the Straight called in to yell at Angi. He wanted to set the record straight that he's never taken a 30 minute bathroom break. He explained that he goes in for a time because it's an escape, which enraged Angi. Abe apparently gets the same treatment from Angi. They both are essentially trying to escape from her and not deal with her. Basically, Angi learned that men are disgusting.

Cristiano Ronaldo. She was trying to shout out her godson and Abe you know, discussed how soccer is unAmerican.
