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.)
Here's a quick blending hodgepodge of things that occurred this morning but all fit the work setting so it makes sense. Today began with Abe finally returning to his normal iced coffee routine after yesterday's rocket ship energy shot that he got himself mixed up in. The Yeti cup was out and Angi and Abe were ready to fight. In case you live under a rock, yesterday Todd aka Taint brought the show down by announcing he intended to destroy Chainsaw Friday because that's what he does. Ever since his arrival, he's spent the entirety of his existence looking to dismantle and destroy everything nice. Well, it turns out that the reacclimated staff can only take so much and they finally decided to fight back today. Instead of giving in and taking it, they were full on "damn the man, save the Empire!" mode today and took matters into their own hands. Instead of allowing Taint to cancel Chainsaw Friday, each on air personality is arming themselves with a chainsaw and they will also be giving it away during their respective shift. Not only that, there were also a ton of tickets to be given away as well today. On a completely other note, a topic of working was discussed because you know, Wednesday is the new Friday. What I mean by this is come Friday, there is usually no one in the office anymore because they decide to travel on Thursday and don't return until Tuesday. So Wednesday becomes the new Friday and even if people do work on Friday, they do nothing. This becomes even more prevalent when out of town when these people are out playing blackjack and then spend two minutes sending emails to pretend they are working. This is why Angi and Abe are the hardest working people in radio, they worked through the pandemic, having covid and even now are there live every morning.
All the Rest:
It's Friday which means it's time to teach yourself something new. For this reason, Angi gave us a list of a handful of words added to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary for the year:
Dad Bod - (That sexy vaguely doughy papa body that Angi and I love)
Faux Hawk - (You think you're cool, you're not)
Super Spreader - (All your anti vax co-workers)
Long Covid - (Life after covid aka Angi's brain fog)
Vaccine Passport - (What you'll need to go anywhere soon)
Doorbell Camera - (How Abe keeps his girlfriend from coming over)
FTW - (For the Win and definitely not what Abe thought it was)
TBH - (To be honest, this led to Abe having a stroke/meltdown)
Fluffer Nutter - (A marshmallow and peanut butter sandwich, not a sex position)
Ghost Kitchen - (What Chick Fil A uses to get you your chicken sandwiches)
Air Fryer - (The thing Abe had and used once and hated)
Digital Nomad - (Not an angry guy wandering around online but doing your job online while traveling)
Finally, some Drunk Ninja News! to start off your drunk Halloween weekend. An idiot over in Northwest Wisconsin decided he wanted to get the jump on ice fishing a little early this year. The thing is, there was a little frost on the ground but the lake was not frozen at all. Undeterred and drunk, this idiot tried to put his ice fishing shack on the non frozen lake. Now Abe, being the rational, well minded individual that he is, would never take a risk like this because well, he would probably never ice fish on top of never wanting to walk on a frozen lake. Minn Barb loves to ice fish but the ice in Minn is thicker than a can of soup so there's no fear of her drowning (as much as Angi wishes she would.) Anyway, this drunk jobbers move resulted in the truck, trailer and shack all being submerged in the cold water. The cops came and ended up arresting him for drunk driving after pointing out that the lake was definitely not ready for ice fishing.
Request Wars 2.0:
Champion: Angi (Streak: 1)
Angi's (repping Noah) Song Choice: "Am I Evil"
Abe's (repping Linda) Song Choice: "Last Caress"
Observation:
Linda Wyatt, some jobber and her loser husband came out swinging with our third Misfits song of the week. Abe should learn by now that oversaturation is never a good thing. That said, he also attacked the mighty Metallica but was there any doubt how this would end?
Winner: Angi
Don't Kill Angi Weekly Recap:
Angi Was Celebrating Halloween Week
Mon: Patrick had Angi buy 500 full size Snickers bars. While emptying the car, Timmy and the ruffians rolled up on her but spied the full size bars she was carrying. This led Timmy, who had previously marked Angi's house for attack, to take it off his list. They moved on down the street to their next target and Angi lived to die another day. (Alive)
Tue: Shawn had Angi buy a Catwoman costume. She tried the costume on it and got excited because she looked great in it. She left the Spirit Halloween store wearing it when she was approached by a man dressed like The Joker. He asked her to smile which led her to Angisplain him how a man should never ask a woman to smile. Enraged, The Joker sliced a smile across Angi's face. Since there were no employees at the Spirit Halloween due to supply chain issues, Angi ended up bleeding out on the parking lot floor. (Dead)
Wed: Bekki had Angi watch Scream to get her into the Halloween spirit. Angi started watching the movie and she got a phone call that terrified her. By pure instinct, she ran full speed into her dark basement but missed a step, which caused her to fall down the stairs and break her neck. (Dead)
Thur: Brian had Angi decide to take a nap next to the tombstone of Ben Longrod who died in 1969. While asleep, Freddy Krueger showed up but Angi couldn't wake herself because she had too many fingers of Jack before dosing. Freddy said "welcome to your nightmare," to which Angi responded "it can't be worse than this*" and Freddy ended the exchange with "oh yes it can!" Freddy then proceeded to slice up Angi with his razor sharp claw. (Dead)
Fri: Jen had Mel Gibson in a priest robe give Angi an exorcism. He and a bunch of priests showed up as Angi was completely taken over by demonic Beavis. As they chanted, demonic Beavis tried its damndest to stay in her but she snapped out of it and the entity left her body. (Alive)
*The computers ran out of ram and basically destroyed the immersion of the whole segment.
10 o'Clock Toast:
Ghosts. Halloween weekend is here and that means the specters, spooks and spirits are out to play. Hopefully one comes to your house this weekend and reenacts Ghost with you.
