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.)
Oh it's Tuesday, the worst day of the week and as we learned in the call in, I am not Angi's favorite part of the show. Even when she gave an overall ranking, I still didn't make it to the top of the list. She yelled about my diva attitude and Abe broke out into song. It was the exact kind opening you would expect.
Let's start with a recap, not from me but Angi who decided to lose herself in watchingMonday Night RAWlast night. She decided to stop fighting it and finally embraced the stupidity of it all but that didn't mean there weren't questions buried in her spoken thought processing. First off, 75% of the show seems to be talk, which she was confused about occurring on a wrestling show. She mentioned that Abe's boyfriend, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre appeared on the show but only talked smack and didn't wrestle. Angi found a new love inRoyal Rumblewinner Bianca Belair because she's hot and talked smack. Angi found herself confused as to why worldwide #1 recording artist Bad Bunny was on the show and fighting with The Miz. Here we paused to have Abe explain that he wrote a song called "Booker T" and is currently feuding with The Miz and John Morrison. Angi was glad for The Miz still being relevant, as she remembers him all the way back in his Real World days. Abe went on to explain whyThe Challenge, on which The Miz has appeared, is his favorite show. Angi capped her recap by discussing that "Shawn" McMahon came out. Abe yelled at Angi for ruining RAW but I was able to redeem things when I told him what happened to Nia Jax. During an apron spot, Jax went to hit a leg drop and missed, causing her to slam the ring into her hole, for a lack of better terms. This then caused her to yell out "my hole!" which has stayed a Twitter trending term even though WWE is trying to make it disappear.
Hey, remember Angels & Kings, that cool bar to hang out where you could get your picture taken with a prison ID number. Yeah, well it may be gone from this world but as we all know, stories will always remain. Abe used this point to bring up some scalding hot tea, which he spilled all over the audience this morning. A local female celebrity once used to frequent there, along with other celebs both local and world wide. This particular celebrity had a thing for hookups and when people weren't banging in the bathrooms there, sometimes they would take an unnamed conquest home. Abe happened to know of this celebrity banging an also unnamed friend of his. When revealed off air who said celebrity was, Angi gasped in a combination of shock and awe. She knows this person, has worked with them and couldn't believe that they would take home a rando, not ask their name and pull out a literal satchel of sex toys for their night of fun. A second story came in the form of Abe almost getting into a fight one night at the shuddered bar. Extremely famous and grizzled hot daddy Kiefer Sutherland made an appearance once night, accompanied by a friend. Said friend explained that Kiefer liked to wrestle the biggest guy in places he went and luckily, that night it was Abe. However, after being distracted by a bottle of Jack, Kiefer disappeared and Abe spent 2 hours talking to the friend. He ends up realizing that it was Jesse James Dupree from Jackal. This mind you was a part of Abe's first concert so he was completely starstruck. Needless to say, the night did not end with Abe wrestling Kiefer and instead hearing about a buttoned up person breaking out her sex toys.
Finally, Angi discovered something absolutely shocking. Apparently, a dental hygienist knows if you've been giving mouth hugs because the junk leaves an imprint/bruising on the hood of your mouth. Angi then sought out hygienists in the audience to attempt to validate these claims. What followed was a ridiculous peek behind the dental curtain to reveal things they know and have found in mouths. Unsurprisingly, since the show is #1 with Dentists, two called in right off the bet to confirm the shocking truth. Yes, junk does leave a stamp in your mouth, so everyone knows you're a total hoe. Not only that, some people have come in and they had pubic hair in their mouth. As the shock continued to wear on, Abe went on to explain that he would lie to his dentist every time he went in. The problem of course is the moment the dentist starts flossing him, then the blood just starts flying everywhere. We then heard from roadie Joanna, who retired from the art of dentistry just last year. She helped break it all down for the listeners, not only in what could be found but also what happens and why. As for Angi's initial point, there is a certain shape that will be left on your upper palette. If you don't spit, the acid in it will break down on the back of your front teeth. If you're anorexic/bulimic, they can tell because of the acid in food. If you do drugs, they'll know about it. If you're suffering from anxiety, you probably grind your teeth and they see it. Thumb sucking also screws up your mouth, so probably don't let your kids do that. Head Roadie Erin called in to explain other things that can be showcased. The one standout was if you have a coke problem, which alerted Angi that she wasn't as slick in the 90's as she thought she was.

Lastly, are you curious to learn some of the original (and frankly disgusting or stupid) names of some of the bands you may hear on Rock 95.5? Well, have you ever heard of Sex Maggots, they eventually became the Goo Goo Dolls. Unfortunately Naked Toddler did not have a chance to reunite in 2020, sorry there Creed. Could you imagine trying to fit Tony Flow and The Miraculous Majestic Masters of Mayhem on a marquee, if not then it makes sense they became Red Hot Chili Peppers. Would you go see a band called Blood Fart, how about if they were called Limp Bizkit (the answer is no on both from me.) Were you sad when Rat Salad changed singers over and over, excuse me I meant Van Halen. Remember whenFamily Guytaught us that Wicked Lester became KISS. What about Angi's favorite band, Merry XMAS, they surely are a Mötley Crüe. How about those Sweet Children, surely led to a Green Day. Have you ever danced to Polka Tulk Blues Band aka Black Sabbath. Rounding it off, have some Xero and chase it down with their fuller calorie name Linkin Park.
