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.)
After a heat induced storm laden evening, we enter this hump day on a cooler note but may get hit with rain (so the chance of Angi melting today is high.) Now, she obviously had to try going out in the rain to realize that witches melt when it hits so it was clearly something she tried once and never would do again. How ironic because our Daily Discussion Topic is also about things the roadies tried once and would never do again. Spawned from a Reddit topic with the same question, we tackled some of the given answers before getting to our own. The first one was having a roommate and Angi had a story to go along with it. The one time she tried it, the other girl had a boyfriend who was in jail and would call the house collect all the time. After running up a ridiculous phone bill, the roommate split without paying it and left Angi to deal with it (since it was in her name.) Hanging out with co-workers (not an issue in this place, we like each other.) Gambling was another persons after they lost $100 but Angi added that they need to just keep chasing the snake. Marriage (take note of this one Coach Joe.) Oysters gave us another Angi chime in as she had them once and they tasted metallic and she ended up sick. Marris too was not a fan of the idea of shooting a snot. Being a morning person (something we clearly don't understand how you can't be.) Waitressing was on the example list but Angi disagreed, she enjoyed it when she did it. Tinder or just online dating in general (poor Marris.) Rounding out the example list was jogging and working in retail (though to be fair, working in retail once is kind of a rite of passage.) Now we move to our crew examples starting with Angi who will never drink kombucha again. She said it tasted like sour apples and gasoline and only barely beat out blumpkins for her top spot. As for Marris, Thailand street sausage is never touching those sweet lips again. Apparently it was lukewarm and popped in his mouth in a weird way (I know, the jokes write themselves.) The meat was also gray, he was not sure what kind of meat it was and for all he knew, it could have been dog (though that would have thrilled him as he hates dogs.) Mike did ecstasy once and it was fun for an hour but he arrived to the rockin in the back of the car with the "oh God, this is never going to end sensation" which every too long trip tends to offer and that was enough. I probably have a list a mile long of things I wouldn't do again but nothing is firing current so just know that there are probably tons of things but I'm too tired to think. Instead, let's just go right to the roadies starting with Hillary. Angi offered that if Hillary were to taste her salmon (ummmmm hmmmmm,) she would change her mind as it is her signature dish. Tossed in pepper, salt, Old Bay and grilled, Angi is a fishy mistress. Amber was drunk and smoked weed and the crossfade knocked her on her ass. Angi offered that she has to go one or the other otherwise she ends up spinning drunk. Mike jumped in to add to his list saying that the first round of Malört from the other day was enough for a lifetime. Head Roadie Bob said on the shoulder driving for the first time gave him a flat tire. Lastly, Austin would never do Special K (ketamine for you non hip kids) again after trying it at a party and ending up wandering around The Loop looking for $5 gyros. Angi too did it once but she assumed it was a normal shot until oops, surprise drugs!

Other Stuff from Today's Show
Moving right along, we land smack dab in Tennessee where a mom is going viral for not wanting to help teachers set things up and does not want to go on field trips or any such nonsense. Dubbed "Venmo Mom," this woman is willing to send money but she is not going to do stuff with the school. Now, Mike was immediately on board with this idea but Angi said the reason she is viral is because her desire to not be involved has led to her being judged. The thing is Venmo Mom can also be a field trip mom and that's just fine. Also, some people are introverts so why can't they pay and not go out to play. If the teacher is getting help (in a monetary way) and a well behaved child, shouldn't that be enough? Marris doesn't hate the concept and suggested she's contributing as she can. Plus those who are complaining should really step and consider that they don't have to pay for things because Venmo Mom is tossing out money to pick up her slack. As the only parent in the studio, Angi added that she always wanted to do stuff at her daughter's school but because of morning radio, it was hard. She did go in and read to the kids and would also run the register (who put this noted thief in charge of money?) at the Scholastic Book Fair. We then explored the parents of our crew and Angi and Mike's both did not get involved at all basically. Marris though came from a family of teachers and his mom was on the PTA which means he basically got away with nothing. Even then he was getting good grades and yet had conferences. The point of all this is simple, if you have a good kid that doesn't act up, don't feel bad about just sending out cash.
Are you ready to hear something crazy? It turns out that Angi has spent the last five years writing an album. Well, actually, this passion project has no songs written for it but she has come up with a handful of titles to create a tracklist that she unveiled this morning. Before you ask, this is definitely one of those listen to the pod segments to hear ChatGPT created lyrics for her biggest hit and a play of her actually written song "Country Twang." That said, here is the tracklist.
- "Head Sized Titties" (aka the biggest hit)
- "That Bitch Is Beefy"
- "I Smoke Weed in My House"
- "Ima Teach You How to Lie to Women"
- "You Can Turn a Hoe Into a Housewife"
- "Wet Ass Bussy"
- "Bitch, I Stole Your Wife"
- "I Don't Even Wear Socks"
Because Angi is too lazy to write lyrics, ChatGPT wrote the lyrics for "Head Sized Titties" and to be fair, it could be an absolute banger. If you'd like to preorder this unwritten masterpiece, you can Cash App her now to preorder it. If fleecing the roadies doesn't help, Angi will probably take it to Shark Tank or Kickstarter. Knowing this piqued Marris' interest and he was considering adding Angi to the WGCI Big Jam concert. However, he needs a 4 song EP at least so we'll see if she shows up or not. With that in mind, she did play her CMA winning song "Country Twangy" for us.
Finally, Marris suffered an old man moment this morning when he forgot his glasses and he was blind in the studio. It turns out that making fun of Angi all those times was now coming back to haunt him. This takes us to the last topic of these notes about how getting older sucks and it's hard to look sexy and younger due to it. There are things that can be done though to remedy it to an extent. If you have bushy ear hair - trim it! If you have bushy nose hair - trim it! Bushy eyebrows - trim them! Angi doesn't understand how some older men let it get super wild to where it hangs in their eyes. Bushy crotch - trim it! (I'm sensing a theme here.) Maintain the chest, shave the shoulders, don't neglect your nails and keep your teeth white. (This honestly is the dumbest list we've had in a while.) As for your facial hair, get rid of the outdated stuff so no more Wolverine mutton chops, they are not in anymore.

This Instagram user is a music master who turns things like Metallica into yacht rock. Cue the song being played and only Angi (and maybe Mike) digging it. The thing is only people who have AARP like yacht rock so we had to goof on old lady Angi. In turn, we ganged up on Marris for hating dogs and old ladies like Angi. We also learned old people drown on boats in the middle.
