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 Point:
(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)
As usual, once again this morning we learned that women are out to ruin men's days/lives because they can. Of course, Angi rolled her eyes at this assessment when I proclaimed it but let's be realistic, we all know this is the reality. Anyway, today's rebellion against the female sex comes due to a study which has showcased that a woman is most likely to control the remote and choose what a couple watches on TV. This gave Angi a thought for a fun discussion topic, what is a show that when it comes on and or your significant other, roommate, child, etc wants to watch that you just walk right out. Like the moment it flickers to life on the screen, you go through the wall like the Kool Aid man to escape it. When it comes to Abe, his long term girlfriend (never to be wife) Cathy Tropicana has to endure some ridiculous things on his end. When she's actually allowed over into The Ivory Tower, whenever he turns wrestling (both WWE and AEW,) UFC, gay porn, and these $12 budget, dimly lit poker blogs that he discovers on Youtube, she's done. Like he literally will watch a ton of poker shows because he is an absolute degenerate monster who believes that he will hit it big one day and then die by choking on endless lobster in Vegas. As for Angi, Jay the Straight also loves wrestling and as soon as it comes on, Angi picks up her Jack Daniels bottle and walks out. Another thing he loves are all those informative murder porn shows like Chicken Fried Murder and How to Get Rid of Your Drunk Bitch Wife When She Acts Up. All this true crime and so little time to indulge in it (and then have a creative way to release all the pent up ideas afterward.) Weirdly enough, even though the topic was about things that women ruin by taking control, it seemed to be all about shows that women hate (once again taking over everything. See, I wasn't wrong in my assessment.) On the phone, roadie Molly hates when her boyfriend puts onGhost Adventures. Not to be confused with Ghost Hunters and Ghost Explorers which are both shows, much likeGhost Adventuresthat have 3 guys acting like idiots around nothing. Angi finally chimed in as to what Jay the Straight can't stand. She loves all of the Real Housewives franchises and he will not stick around if she turns them on, that is unless it is Beverly Hills. Something about all that plastic plastered on the TV screen is his staying point for some reason. Of course, she had to add in once more, really nail in the point that he loves his wrestling, sports and Stephen A Smith screaming at the top of his lungs nonsensically. Head Roadie Bill checked in to say that when his girlfriend turns onCake Wars, he goes out to the shed or whatever. Ironically, Angi hatesCake Warsas well because she needed to make this all about her, typical woman. Jesus can't take it when his child plays theTrolls: The Beat Goes OnTV show all day long. Yet again Angi chimed in to discuss her hatred of Barney and if her daughter would turn it on, she would throw the couch and her daughter out the window. Tim called in and then disappeared so we didn't get his answer. Al hates the Real Housewives shows and Abe tends to agree, especially because they all look the same. Angi explained much like the Kardashians, who all look the same as well now, is because they go to the same plastic surgeon. Kevin said that he will not endure those terrible Hallmark movies that women tend to fawn over. Over on Twitter, another Kevin said that he can't standThe Bachelorette. As for Jeremy on Twitter, he wants nothing to do withRuPaul's Drag Race. For me, prior to his death my roommate lovedThe Walking Deadand though I wouldn't walk out, I endured it only because I enjoyed spending time with him.
All the Rest:
So, on Tuesday, we get to indulge ourselves in a double dose of Abe Kanan when he does his Slob Show podcast live on all of his socials. If you were present for it yesterday, you had the added bonus of seeing Angi in the chat as she was there hanging out and asking Abe stupid questions because hilarity. However, there was almost a crisis, disaster, problematic issue that almost sent the whole thing crashing after 15 minutes. See, Abe had a bathroom emergency that cut into his speaking engagement but he knew a trick to calm it down. You see, he controlled his breathing and used this method to keep himself from having to go to the bathroom. This allowed him to go another 45 minutes before he ended the pod and then ran as fast as possible to the bathroom. His excuse as to what caused this stomach churning death was almost as incredible as his resilience in holding back his explosion. He went to his favorite meat place and he went crazy. This is a place where they let people in and just let them handle the meat apparently or something. Abe walked into this butcher shop, put on some gloves and grabbed a pile of meat off the table. He got a bunch of meat for burgers and chicken. Now I'm thinking you're assuming that he just handled the raw meat and then touched his mouth or something with his disgusting gloved hand. Funny enough, the real story of why his ass almost gave way is even more ridiculous. You see, Abe was ravenously hungry when he got home yesterday and so he made himself a giant burger. He followed this up by then devouring two chicken sandwiches on top of that. That's right, Abe had 3 sandwiches back to back which helps explain why his stomach looks like ground zero. After shoveling all that meat in his mouth (which he should be used to at this point,) he went and laid down for 41 minutes. That's when he was up for the pod and ready to go in both senses of the word (in this context.) Then he held it together, toughed out the situation and went forth to destroy The Angi Taylor Memorial toilet. In fact, let's take a moment to say thank you to Angi for offering up the toilet as a gift. Speaking of Angi, she had only made it to the portion where Abe and Roker were discussing bidets. Before we went back into a discussion on the SYPC (think about the topic at hand and you'll know what that means,) there was a small discussion on porn. A discussion of a porn website dedicated to asses and gentleman railing ladies in their downstairs dirt hole. Anyway, back to the SYPC, of which we've discussed before on the show but it made sense to revisit today. Abe said that he's never joined the club but he's been close. He went as far as to say dripping on seats, which is a horrific image that I'll never erase. Angi is a one time member but all that was overlooked when Abe started discussing going to the bathroom by trees. Like I said, he is an animal and so he should be looked upon and treated as such. He then went on to discuss what it's like to pee outside and just how amazing it feels. He also explained how much he loves to pee outside, it's just so great. In fact, if Abe had a yard he would just pee all over it like he was a dog. He wants to be King of the Pee World but we'll have to see if any contenders arise anytime soon.
Onward to the topic that tends to be something we can't get rid of because of others. The pandemic has done many things aside from kill people and expose how stupid some people are. The pandemic though has also made people realize that they really, truly hate their jobs. However, work is essential to make money, which in turn is used to pay off things like student loans. It's quite amazing to be 40 years old and still be paying off your loans from ages ago, a pain Abe shares with plenty of people. Anyway, while some people are off reacclimating and others are out looking for a new job to satiate the money man. For those people, Angi has a list of the top 5 jobs that you don't need a college degree for. Go figure, you take and waste all this money only to discover others are getting piles of it for no need of knowledge. Truck Driver, Police Officer, Electrician, System Analyst and Software Developer. With that list out and the idea of money dancing over Angi and Abe's head, she developed an idea she wanted to explore. She was looking to hear from roadies who never went to/finished college but are making a ton of cash today. That's right, Angi invoked a call and brag segment because it's hump day and people who are poor need to have their lives taken down a peg on this great day. Head Roadie Bill called in for a second time to discuss how he did 2 years of auto school but it didn't matter. He became someone who makes $100,000 a year and tips and the like during holidays as a garbage man. Omar called in to announce he is a truck driver who makes 6 figures. Rene is a 21 year old HVAC guy and he makes $100,000 a year. 21 with that kind of cash makes me from 20 years ago want to scream into a pillow. Matt is a union laborer who ironically went to school for radio and television broadcasting. Avoiding broadcasting ended up allowing him to make $120,000 a year. Mike is a licensed plumber and makes crazy bank. Paul, who met Angi at the Sox game, is an operating engineer who is rolling around on a bed of money. They were curious how he got into that union and the answer was "be Irish," which was the answer of how to get on my catholic high school's football team. Ryan is a union ironworker who also has money falling out of his pockets. On my end, I'm a poor loser but my sister makes roughly $120,000 (and was making 100 before she finished schooling. As for my brother, he lucked into a job where he makes $80,000. Note to my dear reader, yes, I do hate them. So what was the point of all this? Well, it's to show our advertisers that most of our listeners have pockets lined with cash and they definitely want your product.
Finally, Angi decided to give the roadies a great tip today to help deal with endless Zoom calls. Remember, as we say daily, people are reacclimating and you know, can't leave the house. So for the most part, people are living on Zoom and then taking and doing work calls day and night. This has led to Zoom fatigue and people are getting so tired. Here's a little tip though, go into a meeting, say hello and then turn your camera off. Not being on camera apparently makes life better for those trapped at home. Abe is not concerned about these people because they are still at home, reacclimating and lying on their stomachs all day. Poor Angi and Abe, they are at the office all day and they're making due. Speaking of people who are in Zoom meetings all day, Angi and Abe's bosses. The whole point of these meetings it seems is to showcase that they are working since they can't be in the office. Angi said just follow her tune out but Abe said if seeing people was an issue, just throw on a Chewbacca mask. Abe wouldn't mind a mask because he wouldn't have to look at a-hole boss Todd, who has continued to move into being the worst person ever. In today's point of what he did this time, he decided to get back at Abe once more. Honestly, at this point the station is becoming a toxic work environment with a ton of HR issues. As you will recall, Todd stole Angi and Abe's fridge for not getting enough website clicks. They were finally allowed to use the break room community fridge which is gross and smells like formaldehyde. Abe decided to leave his peach Chobani yogurt and his Duke's mayo in there. So the other day, Todd sent Abe a video of him eating Abe's yogurt and laughing at him. There was a joke about how Abe loves eating creamy white sauce but seriously, this boss is a goddamn menace.
Request Wars 2.0:
Champion: Abe (Streak: 2)
Angi's (repping Charlotte) Song Choice: "What's My Age Again?"
Abe's (repping Brian) Song Choice: "The Writing on the Wall"
Observation: Charlotte is apparently on her death bed but that's not the biggest of Angi's issues. Brian was ready, willing and dedicated and let's be realistic, bringing any Maiden should clearly be an easy win.
Winner: Abe
10 o' Clock Toast:
Some Florida dudes. In Fort Myers, these lads planted a banana tree where a giant pothole was to keep people from hitting it repeatedly.
