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 Points:

(This is the broadstroke canvas on which I base my call, obviously these notes are going to be longer and more detailed.)

Oh my cod, we've made it to yet another Chainsaw Friday and that is exciting because it means we can drink without consequence tonight and tomorrow and Sunday and all of next week and and....

So, if you are like Angi you're probably drunk right now. Also, you probably love to keep up on home design shows while you're lying drunk on the couch. She decided that perhaps she should discuss a new hot home trend that could be incorporated into Abe's Ivory Tower: the open concept bathroom. That's right, no door, no privacy, designed for the exhibitionist in all of us. Apparently, this mess of an idea also looks like a living room. Before Abe could shoot down this awful idea, Angi had to jump in and dismiss it herself. She does not want this in the slightest. There is no need in her foggy brain for a visual of Jay the Straight sitting on the toilet. Anyway, back to who the question originally started with, Abe also does not want this mess. The talk then turned to the Angi Taylor Memorial Toilet. Yes, the toilet that will live on long after the not dead Angi Taylor, that Angi bought for Abe as a housewarming gift. This thing does everything, it has a bidet, it heats and cools, it does the laundry for you, it has a built in fan, it will help you dispose of a body, literally everything. In fact, the only reason Abe is moving into the Ivory Tower is because of this toilet. There's a problem though, the toilet craves power and as we've learned, Abe is no good with being handy. So if you are an electrician and are reading this, hit Abe up and help him bring the Frankentoilet to life. Abe continued on to explain that ever since he's moved in, he got in good with the building manager and the front end desk guy. He even convinced them to listen to the station. This is where the tell 3 friend rule comes in, as Abe is out actively spreading the word and you should be to. Angi capped this whole segment off explaining that ever since she left 103.5, people have been shocked to realize she has her own show now. Everyone just assumed she was dead, which I guess explains the memorial toilet now.

So,Coming to America 2started to stream on Amazon Prime today and Angi is looking forward to it, maybe. You see, as you'll read below, Angi will be setting herself up at some kind of seedy motel tonight due to her house melting and needs something to do to ignore the murders happening in the room next to her. This made her pose a question, what is a movie sequel that is so bad that it actually ruined a franchise or at least derailed a chance for a next film. In turn, Angi also wanted to hear about sequels that were great and if warranted, even better than the first movie. Angi's example of a bad sequel would beAnchorman 2. Abe considersThe Hangover 2as absolute trash. The flip side, Abe thinksThe Godfather 2andNext Fridayare fantastic. Angi says thatMeet the Fookersis a good sequel. Abe and Angi both agreed thatThe Dark Knightis an amazing sequel and the best of the trilogy. Back to the seedy motel, Angi added that if Jay the Straight would like to join her he could. Regardless of whether he comes or not though, she will be watching the movie. Turning to the roadies, this is what they had to say. Head Roadie Mario saidTerminator 2andAliensbelong in the good movie sequel pile. Mike also saidTerminator 2,AliensandSpider-Man 2. Dani said she believesThe Brady Bunch 2andGodfather 2belong in the bunch. Head Roadie Jim said thatGhostbusters 2(I don't agree) andBlues Brothers 2000are bad and that he likesNext Friday. The Mad Crapper tossed inThe Empire Strikes Back,Godfather 2andRocky 2. Thomas finished off the call ins by sayingBlade 2is good. For me, I'm going to say thatIron Man 2is a bad movie and probably the worst Marvel movie andWonder Woman 1984is a steaming pile of trash. A good sequel, I can think of severalThe Dark Knight,Deadpool 2andHalloween 2.

Finally, do you have a monster in law, just an intolerable monster who exists to not only be a pain but is more than likely an awful person? Before announcing where she pulled the idea for this segment from, Abe immediately chimed in that he knows people who have both bad mother and father in law's. Obviously, he has no say in this because with each passing day his girlfriend's dreams are dashed as another guy is added to the Abe Kanan Guys I Wanna Kiss List continues to grow. Anyway, a mother in law stole her daughter in law's thunder by taking to social media to announce a pregnancy before the daughter in law could. Another person had her mother in law sobbing on her son's shoulder during the mother-son dance at the wedding and begged him not to leave her for his now wife. One mother in law calls her daughter in law fat all the time even though she weighs 50 pounds more than her. One super nutcase had a fit when she was told she couldn't name a child even though she had named a ton of the families other children. Unfortunately for Angi, she never got to meet her mother in law because she passed away a year before she started dating Jay the Straight. Roadie Courtney's mother in law insisted on being in the delivery room for the birth of their grandchild and proceeded to play church hymns while there. Tom's father in law tried to have him killed several times. Like he literally did try to do him in, this was fascinating. The reason, because Tom knew that the father in law was having affairs and was cheating on time cards at work.

Request Wars:

Current Champion: Truck Driver Brad (1x Champ)

Challenger Song Choice: "Bring Tha Noize"

Champion Song Choice: "Somebody to Love"

Observation: Smack talk was kinda subpar but there was a good jab from Brad. This honestly should be based on the songs today and can go either way because it's a dual solid choice.

Winner: Mick

Hey, how about a double dose of Angi stuff because it's her show and we're just living in it. So Angi was a bit groggy this morning, we all know how that feels. While starting to get ready, she noticed that there was a little bit of makeup still on her face, so she went to take it off. Looking down, she also saw her nail polish was chipping so out came the remover for that as well. The problem was she put the polish remover on the makeup pad and took a swipe at her eye to get off some eyeshadow. Oops! Her eye was reacting bad to this absolute mistake but luckily with some water washing and not opening her eye, she was able to save the eyeball. I honestly think though that Angi Taylor from the ER would have made for an interesting show today. If you're wondering why Angi was so groggy, it's because she barely slept last night. Her house was filled with men yesterday, 6 of them to be exact. Whereas normally some would assume she had fallen back on her old ways, it turns out they were there to do work. As you may recall, Angi's house was melting because of the snowmageddon mess and these fine gents were here to fix the problem. The issue was though there are now 4 industrial strength fans inside her house and they are LOUD. So, to make sure that she's going to get proper rest tonight, Angi will be going to a seedy motel. She's not going because she is in dire need of sleep, no she just likes to sleep (amen to that one.) The fans will not be leaving her place until tomorrow and they are noisy enough to where she can't even hear the TV. Abe suggested, because of course he would, that she should go to Vegas for the weekend. They could actually go together and then broadcast the dual shows she'll be doing on Monday from there. No dice unfortunately so instead she will be watchingComing to America 2alone after she watchesCumming 2 America.

A nice DM got Angi talking and brought us to the next worthwhile topic. Angi received a DM on Instagram from Shannon. She was driving to hospice to say goodbye to her granny and she had to comment on how much she loved Abe's deep dive into Jesse and the Rippers. Apparently she's never seen me go on about how much you really should never encourage Abe, kind of how you shouldn't feed a mogwai after midnight. As a tribute for granny, Abe decided he wanted to play that stupid "Forever" song. Angi really tried her hardest to put the song to bed, Abe was just not having it. After making a point that John Stamos is on Abe's List of Dude's He Wants to Kiss, Angi revealed that another interest of his, Paul Stanley, will be on the show on Wednesday. It should be noted that Abe does not want to make out with him but he sure does want to talk to him about his love gun. This entire mess of a segment almost made Abe miss his sports (we both know why, he was distracted thinking about Stamos.) We capped off with Abe saying that Jesse and the Rippers needs to be added into the station's playlist rotation.

Lastly, a question to cap off the day and the week. What food item, restaurant or bar do you wish still existed. This was brought on by Instagram as well when Angi saw Jamba Juice, which she had assumed didn't exist anymore. Abe's pick was The Red Barrel, an amazing restaurant on the South Side that had everything you could imagine and an arcade. The place still exists in name form but it's a reboot and not the place Abe once loved. Angi, in turn, wondered if Carson's was still around. As for what Angi wants back, she wants McDonald's to bring back the McDLT. Abe wants them to bring back the Arch Deluxe. Roadie Wendy is dying for a restaurant called Yainne's to come back as they used to have an amazing Friday fish fry. Jesse would kill for the Champps in Orland to return as they had the best burgers and waffle fries. Angi told him that he was in luck as there is one in Brookfield. When she was living and working in Minneapolis, she was above one and she was eating there almost daily.

10 o' Clock Toast:

John Stamos. He's Abe's next husband and Shannon called in about her grandma who recently passed to discuss him.
