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, here we are Tuesday, you've arrived once again and brought doom and gloom with you. No, not the attitude of doom and gloom but the general overall look of gray skies, damp weather and a nice breeze that we'll be begging for come next week when it's 111 degrees (according to Angi's phone.) Of course, since it's gross outside, we decided to really play into that by making the Daily Discussion topic about gross things the roadies have found in their food. This horrific and vomit inducing topic was introduced by Angi who explained that a South Detroit woman recently found a frog in her sealed package of store spinach. Popeye the Sailor Frog was alive and moving when she opened the bag but her fear of being labeled Olive Oyl kept her from showing her face while telling the story. No indication if the frog was freed or kept as a souvenir but at least she didn't eat the thing. Unfortunately, the same can not be said of Angi, Marris and other roadies who all found disgusting things in their meals. Angi once found a shrimp tail in a can of corn and was sent a biohazard box to send it back. No word on whether she got a new can of corn or at least her therapy bill paid for. Another time, she was having lunch with a friend at a local restaurant and when the friend bit into her burger, there was a bolt backed into it. The waitress went on to simply say "oops, yeah, we're doing construction" like it was okay that there was a literal piece of metal in the meat. As for Marris, his aversion is to hair and he finds a ton of it in his to go orders all the time. As we learned though, he is smart and simply just eats around it. As Angi lost her mind in a triage of wanting to throw up, gagging and screaming on the inside, we moved on to the Request Line to hear what horrors the roadies found in their food. For the record, I just remembered a traumatic story of a friend of a friend finding maggots after biting into a pączki from a local grocery store and I wasn't going to include it but the mental trauma I just unlocked recalling deserved to be shared. I'm in hell right now but I must soldier on and report the rest of these notes. We started with poor Heather, who found an acrylic nail in her pasta dish. She did not notice this nightmare until midway through the meal and found out it belonged to the waitress. The meal and drinks they had were comped and they got a free dessert but needless to say, she never went back to the place. Dave once found a three inch long furry ear in his Chinese food that could have belonged from anything between a dog and a raccoon. This literal sociopath ate around the thing and just threw it out. Tom found a mini mouse in his dark colored soda bottle after pouring it into a cup. He also was making a sandwich once and bit into metal that had been baked into the bread. He did want to sue for the metal incident but the lawsuit apparently went nowhere. Josh got burrito bowls for the family and in his wife's, there was a live grasshopper. They all ended up not eating their food and the literal hoops they had to jump through to get their money back made the whole situation just not worth it in the end. Rich was at a Valentine's Day dinner when he found a live caterpillar in his salad. He had eaten part of it and it was only noted when he was told "hey, your salad is moving." Right, I'm going to throw up for the rest of the morning, sorry everyone.

Other Stuff from Today's Show:
I don't even know where to go after that initial topic, there is ass eating, being overworked and a little bit of laughter to indulge in and since we just got off of eating, might as well serve a dessert course. Taryn Manning is an actress most famously known for her role on the defunct Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. On the show, she played a mess but it seems she really did not have to reach far into method to pull the performance out. It seems that she might actually be an alleged meth or bath salt addicted wack job after a video she recently posted. Sitting in her car and thankfully not driving, she made a video to address the affair she was having with a married man. Though we played the audio on the show, the gist was that she ate his ass and was on her to buy this guy a boat. Apparently though, she was called a lunatic by the wife of this cheater and so she wanted to "put the wife in jail." If this sounds messy as hell then you are on the right page. The general assumption was that he was going to leave his wife but that apparently is not the case (can you blame him though.) That said, Angi explained that even if you're tossing a salad or buying a boat, he's not leaving. Of course though, Angi needed to know if eating ass and boat play was attractive to Marris but he was far from that course. He would prefer a car and not having his butt touched. Angi did suggest though that the guy should have played the situation a bit smarter and taken the boat only to sell it down the line. After all, Taryn gets down and loves to gift but while that can be fun at first, clearly at some point a relationship with her will leave a poopy taste in your mouth (cough.)
Right then, because everything on this show has felt like too much this morning, it makes sense that the next step on these notes was toward working too much. That is felt the most by Marris who not only gabs with Angi in the morning but then plays promotions director afterward and also is the head of his condo board. The thing is, all this work and no place is actually no good for people (who knew) in what is now being referred to as the 42% rule. This "rule" is from the determination that the brain/body needs 42% of relaxation in a daily period in order to function properly. This is counted by everything from sleep, to exercise and lying on the couch drinking wine and watching TV. You can attempt to spread it over a week but the more time you diminish off the scheduled allotment, the better chance you have to burn yourself out. When that burn out sets in, you can get sick and sometimes crash for those glorious 12 hour nap days. We turned Marris into our science experiment for the sake and broke down his consumption. He gets about 5 hours of sleep and maybe 2 to 3 hours of downtime a day. Angi though was not impressed and she wants him at a proper 10 but she only has certain powers. Angi, on the other hand, gets 7 hours of sleep a day and then there is all the couch lounging she does as well. Another part of this questionnaire, survey or general showcase that we're not living our best lives involves money. Apparently, people polled said it would take $500,000 a year to make them feel rich. Mind you, $175,000 is considered the upper 10% of wealthy people and those people feel poor. Even more shocking is people who make $5,000,000 also saying they feel poor. If 10 hours of rest and $5,000,000 makes you poor, we here at the show would literally prefer to be poor over anything else.
Finally, let's take a moment to pour one out for an ugly Canadian lol. That's right, the creator of "LOL" dominating our text is not dead but he may as well be. It seems the word is dead to all the cool kids and they have moved on from it. First created when said ugly Canadian sent a laughing response to a friend in the form of "LOL," the acronym has found its rightful place in the lexicon graveyard. Taking its place is "IJBOL" or I Just Burst Out Laughing. I mean, sure, "LOL" was stupid and fake as you saying LOL meant you probably weren't laughing but it was a huge part of our growing up and learning cell phones. If you really want to showcase genuine laughter, send a video of you laughing because things like "LOL" and "IJBOL" are different sizes of the same dumb coin. The talk then moved to more nerd stuff as Angi explored Marris' use of AOL chat rooms but he wasn't looking for Ninja Turtles in them, he just wanted general banter. She wondered this because she knows someone who had to go to rehab for addiction to chat rooms. Though she clowned on the guy about "turning off the computer," she then went into her own addictive personality story. When Angi was in Vegas playing blackjack once, she was on a hot streak and ended up sitting at the table until 2 A.M. and only left because Jay the Straight dragged her out of there. She had missed dinner with him but in her defense, she didn't know what time it was or where she was. I think that was the first time her Alzheimer's had kicked in but definitely not the last.

We all know that bikers do plenty of amazing things for others and that was showcased again when word was put out that an 80 year old seaman had passed but no family could be found for him. Instead, 500 bikers came out and accompanied this serviceman to his final resting place and we love them for it.
