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.)
Well, Thursday has arrived once more and with a big event coming up tomorrow, you would think all is right in the world. However, you're listening to this show so you should know that is never going to be the case so let's break out the next round of Shenanigansgate as Angi attacked Marris this morning over his attempt to screw her. Now, I could see why your mind would land in the gutter hearing that (and more so if you listened to the Daily Discussion Topic because that felt like doing a 3 day bender of rails and booze) but you need to get your head right. The alleged screw job is coming via the iHeart Fantasy Football League which Marris is the commissioner of and Angi has made to the Super Bowl of for the last two years. The thing is, both of those years, Angi lost to a co-worker named Andrew both times but a change of career made it seem that she would be a lock this year. Andrew up and quit iHeart and so he technically is no longer an employee which means he shouldn't be playing this year. However, commissioner Marris has decided that Andrew needs to play this year since he is the reigning champ and needs to defend his throne. That's right, the guy who doesn't work at the company is playing in the company league and Angi is furious. While screaming that all this is against the rules, Marris told Angi that he is the one who creates the rules and therefore, she has no say so. Marris runs his league like a dictatorship so it's get in line or get out. Angi, enraged at the ruling about the rules, threatened not to play but then changed her mind and will play. Obviously, the issue here is Angi does not want Andrew to beat her again for a third year in a row (and seeing as she loses Employee of the Quarter all the time, she should be used to taking L's.) Angi then offered another scenario, what if Jay the Straight wanted in even though he doesn't work at iHeart. Marris explained that if they were short players, he would be allowed a spot but spoiler alert: they're not. Angi tried to argue that he could be the champ at his new job (which could be literally anywhere as iHeart pays the staff pennies.) She also didn't understand the need for a legacy when he no longer works there so why bother upholding his achievements? Marris explained that if he were to quit (let's face it, HR firing him is more likely,) he too would want to be able to defend if he was champion. Even more frustrating for Angi was the acknowledgement that if Andrew won again, he would be back the following year to fight once more. She argued that not working at iHeart meant you no longer get the perks (pizza parties, low pay) like the station BBQ. Marris added though that he's seen more randos at those events than people who quit and came back. With that in mind, the decision is made and Andrew stays but Angi is planning on overthrowing Marris at some point.
Other Stuff from Today's Show
Every once in a while, I implore you to go listen to the podcast. I mean, you should listen to it every day but in this instance, you need to hear this absolute insane unhinged drunk drug induced insanity that was today's Daily Discussion Topic. It began with a normal point about reasons you would turn something down like you are polite, too full or are perhaps married. However, we wanted to indulge and discuss something the roadies would never say no to. For example, a paid day off. Oddly enough, tons of people don't use their PTO (and some are at iHeart.) A nap, which I sorely need and Angi and Marris would not turn down. A breath mint or stick of gum, if it's being offered, you need it. Pizza, money, paying the check, flowers and ice cream were on the list though Angi says no to ice cream sometimes. Cute pets and petting a cute animal was also there but as we all know, Marris is PETA's enemy number 1. Capping off the list was a joint, an invite to go shopping which Angi would turn down as she likes to do it alone, an invite for beer which Angi also turned down and of course, a hug. As for specifics, Marris would never say no to video games or arcades. As for Angi, a glass of wine is in her future and more so, if it was being offered to her in an inappropriate place. Marris offered a place that should be considered inappropriate like a library but if they offered a wine night, Angi would never leave the library. As for what I'm never turning down, if you offer me Captain Morgan White or some mozzarella sticks, I'm going to always say "yes" and "more please." With our messes settled, let's get to the roadies and the absolute INSANITY on the Request Line. Deanna will never turn down an invite to happy hour or a neighborhood festival. Angi though will not go to things like block parties because she was traumatized by STYX being overplayed by some 16 year old in her old hood. Steve said oral sex and Angi agreed that you would be hard pressed to find a man who would turn it down. Head Roadie Troy said road head on the way to a concert. In fact, even if he was going to say Jewel he would be down. Roadie Mike hung up and that was a God send as that left extra time for Christopher. Christopher said a good piece of ass and a bottle of Jägermeister. I just, I don't even have words to describe how the rest of this call went aside from it made me feel like someone shot me up with all the drugs in the room and you just need to go listen to it because it is a goddamn masterpiece. Eric finished us off by saying a big fat rail and then threw every union carpenter under the thin white line. If you are looking for more roadie thoughts or have your own, hit up our Facebook group (Angi Taylor Show) and drop us a comment.
We go from feeling like we were in outer space during the last topic to actually going there in this one. At the moment, there are two astronauts who are currently stranded in space and have been for two months. Due to issues, it seems that the pair may not actually make it home until February. However, to help alleviate some of the pressure, another two people and supplies are being sent up in September but this got all of us on the show thinking. If the spaceman and woman are up there alone, is there a chance they are going to turn into smashtronauts? Marris offered that both could be married or in a relationship but as the slogan goes "what happens in space, stays in space." Of course, we took it one step further and had to imagine what happens if they do take off their suits and well, what if they decide to use the pull out method. Since everything in space floats, does that mean that the ceiling becomes a Jackson Pollock painting? More so, does semen float and who exactly would be cleaning it up after they dropped fluid in the chamber. Worse off though would be what would happen if you accidentally got someone pregnant in space. While it would not be a full term birth up in space, birthing a child up there must be insane. The more realistic thing to do though would be to try and find a way to just catch the floaters. So hopefully they are being smart by turning off the cams, going to the miles high club bathroom and as Angi put it, hopefully giving the woman a warning.
Finally, Tommy Lee went on a podcast and offered up to confirm the Ozzy snorted ants story along with some more wild details. While at a Four Seasons, Mötley Crüe and Ozzy were together in 1984. Sitting poolside, Ozzy was wasted and decided to snort up some ants. This was followed by Nikki Sixx peeing on the floor and attempting to lick it up. However, Ozzy beat him to it and ended up licking it up instead. With the party getting too wild, they were kicked out from the pool and so Ozzy followed Tommy Lee back to his room. However, in the elevator up, Ozzy dropped his pants and pooped in the elevator. This wasn't enough though because he then went into Tommy Lee's room and pooped on the floor and then proceeded to finger paint the walls. After that, Tommy had enough and he finally bailed on Ozzy. The thing was back in the day, all the rockstars were trying to out rockstar one another and gross each other out. We capped this by reminding you that rock stars never die and Angi has seen The Dirt 150 times.

It's National Cat Day so find a pretty kitty and give it a rub. Now Marris is allergic to cats so if you see a hairless one he can caress, let us know. Angi herself is not a cat person because cats are "bitches" but she has been pissing off Jay the Straight by feeding two strays in her hood.
