This is just a small taste of the show overall, the bits and bobs that I found interesting, funny, insightful and relevant. To hear everything that happened, check out the podcast of today's show. However, if you're looking for 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.)
Welcome to a new week where we are going to get rained on, steamed out and then end it spending four days singing, dancing and living the life at Lolla. Before we can get to that though, there are plenty of pressing matters to get to. For example, it seems that scientists have discovered how to keep women alive longer (as if we need that.) It seems that the more they bang in a week, the better chance they have of living longer. That's right, if a woman is having sex more than once a week, she is doing good by her heart health and will tend to live longer. It should be noted that this applies to women 20 - 60 so you know Angi, tick tock. For those who are having sex less than once a week, those poor women have a 70% increased chance of death. Maybe this explains why every time Angi cuts the power to the house to increase a chance of a fling, Jay the Straight always seems to have a headache. Piling onto the death risk increase is depression so if you're sad and no one is slinging booty in your direction, your chances of becoming dirt sausage is increased. Angi looked at it in even simpler terms by explaining that if you're not having sex you probably will be depressed so no wonder these women are keeling over. While Marris saw an accuracy in the "have more sex or die!" campaign, Angi couldn't help but be convinced that this study was done by men. Funny enough though, it turns out men who have sex more than once a week have an increased chance of death so I guess that throws her theory right out the window. All of this is of course ironic in that the reproduction of a species is based on this and it is telling women to get it more but than telling men to give it less. Angi did have a secondary solution which was for women to just jump on the "sisters are doing it with themselves" train and just go girl on girl. Marris was confused about how that exactly worked but relented when he thought he discovered a loophole. Men could simply watch from the sidelines (like it's some kind of sporting event) but Angi was not convinced. She explained that dudes would say sideline view but then wanna jump in. I guess the selling of tickets for the matinee showing of "Scissor Me Timbers" is off the table. Marris then came up with a secondary idea, how about two girls, one guy as everyone gets something beneficial here. This dude math was not doing it for Angi and she suggested that Marris spank it while contemplating this confusing study and leave the girls to their own devices (which works in both my intended way of explaining and a fun play on words.)
Other Stuff from Today's Show
Onward we forge to the Daily Discussion Topic which looked at people who were not raised right. A good example of that could be the McDonald's guy in the story below but for now, let's start with an exploration list offered by those polled. Some examples include but are not limited to the courtesy that one shows to customer service people and how people treat their moms. How one treats people who are lower on the social status ladder is also problematic. Not saying hello to the parents of a friend when you enter their house is considered to just be rude. How you treat other people's belongings, not being able to bring forth an indoor voice (looking at you speaker phone on the plane,) and believing you are better than anyone else are more great examples. Wanna really show you weren't raised right, snap your fingers or clap at a person to get their attention, like they are some kind of dog. If you take videos of random people on the street (and don't yell Worldstar!,) eat at a restaurant and not clean up after yourself or are rude to the staff, you are the problem. Lastly, throwing things out the window of the car while driving, you definitely were not raised right. As for Marris' choice, it comes down to people not saying "thank you" while holding the door for them. If this happens, there's a good chance he will use his Hulk strength to rip the door off the hinges and beat you with it. Angi will yell "you're welcome!!!" to people who ignore her good deeds. Speaking of which, Angi is bothered by people who manhandle their kids in public, call them names, scream at them or snatch them up. She will also add you to her judgemental list if she gets in your car and there is garbage everywhere. This is why Marris cleans the car prior to anyone getting it in, he knows how this goes. With their points touched upon, let's go to the Request Line and get some roadie additions. Janice hates when she goes out to eat and sees people with rude manners like talking with their mouths full. Patrick said people who are rude to food service workers, bartenders and the wait staff. Colin said anyone who doesn't return their carts to the corral after shopping are just the worst. Tony delivers office furniture and supplies and always introduces himself. When he is told "hey you!" and not his name, it enrages him. He is not an animal meant to be called that way. Jerry said anyone that doesn't give up their seat for an elderly or disabled person on the CTA.

So Marris got some glasses this weekend and watched Deadpool & Wolverine, Angi laid on the couch after cleaning up her house. She has her friend and that friend's daughter coming in from Wednesday to Monday for Lollapalooza so the place had to be as clean as possible. That in itself will also be a lot as the show crew will be at Lolla (expect a sleepy show Friday morning.) However, none of this has to do with the point of this, which is Angi was watching 90 Day Fiance or as she calls it, the greatest show on TV (for the record, she says this about everything.) Why it came up though was a black woman is moving to Iceland for her man and lamented that there are no black people in Iceland. The thing about Iceland or Reykjavík is that it only has a population of 118,000 people. As the country is mostly ice, Reykjavík is essentially where you're going to be spending all your time and finding a perfect match. One of the things is that if you're on an Icelandic dating site, there is a good chance you could end up matching with a relative because again, this is an island. To put the small population into perspective, Naperville is 140,000 people. To combat accidentally banging your cousin, they are now offering a "Do You Wanna Find Out Now or Later if You're Related to the Person You've Matched With?" Now, this feels evil in a way but it is also very smart. A question of would you want to know was posed and Marris and Angi were both on the immediate train because they are not keen on dating a third cousin. Well actually, first is bad, second is not great but third is a maybe. Marris understood this all too well as his dad was adopted and he was always afraid that he would end up dating a cousin he didn't know about. In other news, 23 & Me basically should sponsor all of Iceland.
Finally, when you go out to eat, there's always a chance of finding something gross in your food. For example, Marris has found a hair before and it definitely was not his or from the table and so he sent it back. This was a little different as a woman's 4 year old daughter went to Burger King and got a bunch of extra "ketchup" on her meal. That "ketchup" turned out to be the blood of a cook who cut their hand and got it all over the burger and the toy in the meal. The woman was offered a refund but upon calling the doctor, the woman learned the kid would need to do blood tests for a year. Burger King corporate offered to cover the expenses of the medical treatment but someone needs to get a health inspector in there yesterday. As an avid Chopped watcher, Angi knows they put gloves on, throw the food and associated items away after they've been bandged up so how could so much blood be spilled and a refund be the only thing offered. I think the idea here is that anytime you order food with ketchup, you should make sure it isn't the blood of Chris, the fry cook who just cut off three fingers making your Whopper.

Off air we learned that Prison Tattoo hates breeders and in turn, Angi decided to celebrate childless cat ladies. They are good people who are focusing on their career, their hobbies and even themselves or they just can't afford to have a kid but good on them. This then turned into a segment where Angi essentially advocated for beating kids in the street.
