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.)
If there's one thing that this show should be known for, it's hatred and hating on everything. I mean, we're not bad people here on The Angi Taylor Show, we just happen to find no joy in anything aside from day drinking, degenerate gambling and smack talk (wait a second....) Anyway, there was a discussion/list that occurred going over things that people pretend to like but they actually hate. People's kids made the list and though there needs to be a quick distinction before this unravels further. Peoples kids are for the most part great but if we're looking at strangers kids, well they are just awful. Right, with that out of the way, let's start going over the list of things that we're supposed to like but totally hate. Kids who throw stuff at you on a plane. If I have to pick one more Cheerio out of my hair, I'm opening the cabin door and tossing your baby out of it. Also, your pics of kids on FB, we will like them to boost your ego but we hate them. On that note, relationship pics and your 87th selfie of the day, no one cares. Like do you need to post and document every moment of your mundane life? Every single day there's a different pic and 99.9% of them are irrelevant. Holding hands while walking your dog is not cute, there we said it. These are all things by the way that Angi and Abe would never post so therefore they are great people. Anyway, now that we've tackled some things that are awful, let's explore what Angi and Abe hate (not even secretly mind you, this just turned into a hate segment.) Angi hates Facebook (and that's why Abe and I are doing most of the heavy lifting in the Facebook group.) As for Abe, well his list just goes and goes and goes. You would know this because I have a running list that is going to be added to the website/Facebook group in the near future. Small talk, people do it because it's the only thing that helps when you hate the person that you are talking to. Angi decided to jump in again for a moment. Pregnancy is next up for her but don't get her wrong, she loves the child but just hates being pregnant. The last on the list from the gruesome twosome was another Abe one but this one was the most controversial. Megadeth's first album. After he dissected why it sucks so much, he pretty much stated that he hates Megadeth in general. Finally getting on the phone after the hate train crashed into the station, first out the gate was roadie Tabitha. She happens to hate running, which Angi went on to agree with her. She actually pushed it further and said that working out in general sucks and no one actually likes it. Yet again we took another detour of things to hate includingThe Masked Singer, golf and your neighbors before getting to Tim. Time said that mouth hugs are apparently hated but Angi disagreed. She personally likes it but she needs to like you (in that moment) to offer one up. She did offer though that some girls do hate it including a girl she knows who explained that they were done the moment she got married. Todd (not the a-hole boss) said co-workers and company holiday parties. Again Angi disagreed because apparently the iHeart holiday parties are litty kitty. Abe agreed though because who wants to hang out with someone when you see them at work all day. Then again, he won't even let his girlfriend into his condo. Lastly, Coach Joe (who owns a gym mind you) hates people and I couldn't agree more because hating everyone and everything is how I live my life.
All the Rest:
After a quick throwback to the story about Stevie Wonder doing cocaine with Scott Staph who was on his knees and playing his new album (it's a great story, check the podcast) Abe described what he had been teasing on social media this weekend. He went to the KIϟϟ show which was is supposed to be their last one (for the 37th time.) It should be noted that he had pretty decent seats as it was but of course, things went wrong right off the bat. When he got to his seats he saw that both his and the one next to him had the bottom of the seat cracked off. So, knowing that he had no intention of sitting in a broken chair, he went off searching for new seats. He happened to find them in the food and booze area and so he and 5 others went down to steal them. Of course, he ended up getting kicked out by security when it turns out the person who the seats belonged to showed up. Even better and a great look for the station was the fact that the seats actually belonged to the listener of the station. The security officer was a real tool and no he was the bad Mexican guy and not the tall bald white guy which Angi seems to really dislike. So after being called a loser and kicked out of the absconded seats, Abe went to the box office. At the box office, Abe was laughed at and ridiculed for a little bit before he was handed the next assignment in this game of finding seats. After growing bored of it, the lady then pointed Abe to another lady who, when he explained his dilemma, pulled out a Willy Wonka style envelope and presented Abe with 18th row seats. He ran down to the seats and found that all 6 of the forked over tickets were amazing seats. Once he had them in his possession, Abe started throwing people out of the seats he had won. He threw out some uy, then a couple, then a guy with a baby which in turn completed his heel turn and he was the a-hole now. Another thing worth mentioning about the show besides Abe's incredible seats was the covid test check in process. What I mean to say with this is there basically wasn't one. You literally just had to wave a paper and they let you in. The paper could have said that you have covid and were about to spread it around but the inspector didn't give a hoot. Abe brought his card with and he didn't mind carrying it but the guy didn't care at all. All and all the concert was a great experience and even though Abe missed the opening act, let's be honest and admit that no one cared who was opening.
Another day, another list and we love discussing lists on this show as you would know or if you ever read these notes. So, here's a perfect Monday morning list, the 10 worst jobs ever.
10. Gravedigger. - I mean this is just horrible plus all the garbage horrors and grief.
9. Flower Designer. - If they don't sell fast, you're screwed as your investment dies.
8. Taxi Driver. - Especially in this car jacking city.
7. Cleaners. Just imagine how gross hotel rooms are.
6. Retail. - Working in retail is a nightmare. Angi, Abe and I have all done it and each of us hated it.
5. Soldier. - Tons of threats you have to deal with and then the PTSD after all of it.
4. Waiter. - People are scumbags and a-holes when they go out and a ton don't tip.
3. Watchman. - Like watching a haunted prison, how awful must that be.
2. Armpit Sniffer. - You have to check and see if a deodorant is working. Abe was okay with the concept of this job until he learned it only pays 19k.
1. Semen Collector. - Basically the job Angi and I had in our 20's only this is for animal collecting. It's awkward when you have to manually stimulate the animals. It does pay 70k a year though but like you can do porn and do the same thing and get more. (As I said you could have been Angi and I and did it for free ... sigh.)
Somehow not on the list but everyone agrees that should be in the top three is working at 101.9 The Mix. I mean all that assault you'd have to dodge in the morning. Abe also added that people who work at a porn shop and need to clean the splooge covered booths have an awful job. Try working at a bait shop chimed in Angi, with all the creeps trying to show you their worms and having a boss like Minn Barb being a bitch. Kevin called to add in telemarketing sucks, you're stuck in a cubicle all day and then your co-worker has dandruff (which got added to Abe's hate list.) Lou called to discuss working in the service portion of a dealership because people are idiots. As for Tony, his parents owned a hotel when he was a kid so he got stuck cleaning it and then ... he swore so we didn't get to hear all about the gross things he had to deal with.
Finally, in breaking merch news, The Angi Taylor Show is finally about to bring out it's first piece. This announcement was preceded by a discussion on the HBO showSuccessionwhich Angi doesn't watch but Jay the Straight loves. Anyway, on this show is a character named Greg who is apparently hot and so as everything tends to go to porn, a sex toy has been designed and named after him. Greg the Egg is an insertable toy that goes off every time cousin Greg shows up in a scene. The thing is, since new episodes are not screened ahead of time, the egg is synced to music and every time a Greg part occurs, someone remotely turns the toy on. Angi and Abe both went on to discuss shows that they wish had a sex toy for them. For Abe, it was when Trish Stratus used to wrestle for the WWE back in the day. As for Angi, whenever the Duke from Bridgerton would come on, her basement would flood. What's shocking here is that Abe's toy was not based around Stamos but at the rate he mentions and discusses him, the toy would probably end up breaking. While I came up with some stellar ideas during my call in on how The Angi Taylor Show Egg would be triggered (Abe being sus, Angi wanting to kill herself, Abe talking about Stamos and Angi drinking fingers of Jack,) Angi and Abe added that them laughing should be the trigger for theirs. Of course, this might cause the roadies to drive off the road. They then considered it as a good way to give out concert tickets and Rocky the Rooster codes because you can enjoy the show, indulge the buzz and perhaps win a prize. Roadie Brian checked in to say that camgirls tend to love to use eggs in conjunction with being tipped coins. They really get into it and from the sound, so does Brian. He doesn't like OnlyFans btw and only digs into camgirl stuff, I felt we should all know that.
Request Wars 2.0:
Champion: Angi (Streak: 1)
Angi's (repping Carlos) Song Choice: "And the Cradle Will Rock"
Abe's (repping Big Mike) Song Choice: "When I'm Gone"
Observation:
Abe's repping a newer band and Angi is breaking out a classic so it's an actual battle of old vs new. If you don't pick Abe's choice, he's threatening to remove new music again. Abe always seems to be resorting to threats these days which means Angi should have this easily.
Winner: Angi
10 o'Clock Toast:
Chicago Sky. Finally, we have a championship team in the city that people will care about for four seconds and.... NM, people already stopped caring.
