The Team gets confused on Gen Alpha

Michael gets creamed in Request Wars

Angi keeps on booping everything

Hump Day is here and that kind of makes sense why Angi found herself confused by the context of "Summerween," which is indeed celebrating the spooky season during the summer and not fresh dongs baking in the sun as Angi had assumed. However, men being on the brain makes sense because our Daily Discussion Topic this morning found us passing the mic to the ladies after an incident during the Jamaican wedding. That's right, middle of the week and we're finally getting to something wild that happened at the overcooked wedding. As 50 or so people baked outside, the lovely couple stood at the altar with their local Jamaican man officiant. The issue arose when the vows were exchanged and the officiant turned to the groom and said "but you own her now." The collective look and mental daggers each of the women shared could probably turn into some kind of reel because a statement like that in 2024 is prime cancellation material. However, Angi was sure all the men were absolutely thrilled at the idea of a woman being their property and so she turned the floor to the ladies to tell us what they would make their man do if they could. I feel like this would also be the proper place to add that after hearing this, Jay the Straight turned to Angi and said "let's renew our vows in Jamaica so I own you." Yeah, we're turning this into Man Hate Wednesday so let's just get into the CVS receipt of issues Angi brought along with her. First up, Jay the Straight must take a cuddle class since he is not a cuddler (I feel like a cuddle class isn't going to make him want to cuddle more but I'm a man so I think my thought is invalid here.) Now Angi loves to cuddle and be the little spoon but Jay the Straight is very herky, jerky and twitchy. To be fair, he does have restless leg syndrome and we've heard about him kicking her but she wants that to cease along with complaining that his arms are dying when he's forced to hold her. Seeing as this show is only four hours, we made room for just one more complaint/fix which was that he stops leaving his half empty water bottles all around Floptopia. Since we are equal opportunists here, Marris went next to say a ton of his ex's felt he should take dance classes since he has three left feet (and you know what they say about that, three legs ... giggity.) Mike thinks that his wife would want him to ditch the phone sometimes seeing as he practically lives on it. Right, we've collected the studio crew's thoughts so let's head to the Request Line. Out the gate we had Joe, whose video game playing makes his woman nuts and led him to proclaim that women hate it when men are happy (he's not wrong.) Katie wanted men to experience cramps and the suffering that comes with being on your period as the amount of times to be told to "just smile." After complaining about being fat, bloated, moody and crappy and told how if a stranger tells her to "just smile," Angi basically explained how to drive her to kill. Pamela would want to keep her man from procrastinating because that tends to take six months and if she resolves the issue without him, he gets mad. Lunchbox wants to grow for his wife seeing as his father died two months ago and he is having a hard time. Lastly, Dominick would change working too much as he is a traffic controller and does 70 to 90 hours a week.

Well, today was supposed to be a lovely day with beautiful weather and the fact that we are one step closer to another weekend. However, Angi decided to upend all of this by getting real disgusting by opening her mouth and unleashing a truly gross Daily Discussion Topic. For reasons I have yet to understand, we decided to look at the most disgusting things people have put in their mouths. Now, I know your mind went right into the gutter but we were skipping the obvious dirty answers and looked more toward edible and inedible objects. For example, remember when parents used to stuff soap in their kids mouths when they sounded like the studio does when we're off air. Mike understood that all too well as he once got the soap as a kid as did one of the survey respondents who was drunk and thought a soap sample outside a store was food. Other offered options included chewing on an Advil liquid gel cap, having a seagull poop into their mouth, accidentally drinking windshield wiper fluid as a kid and having a cockroach fall into their mouth when they were drinking out of the bathroom faucet. It gets worse still though, like the cat who sneezed into its owners mouth when they yawned, a sleepwalker eating half a bowl of potpourri thinking it was cereal and let's never forget the horror that is Chinese century eggs. If you don't know what that is Google it but don't blame me if you do. Disgusted yet? I sure am and it only keeps getting worse as we got the studio examples. Angi was at a party in high school and she drank out of a beer bottle that she thought was hers but turned out to be one filled with chew spit. Before we got to Marris' actual example, there was food mentioned in coconut sparkling water and durian fruit which he could actually attest to as not being so bad. He said that durian actually tastes decent if you can get past the smell. As for his example though, he once had a baby puke in his mouth which is just lovely. As for Mike, when he was a kid, he ate dog poop which clearly means his spirit animal is Divine. Adding in my own, I once licked an orange push pop straight from the freezer and it was fuzzy. Now, if your stomach is still intact, let's move to the Request Line to see if we can make your breakfast/lunch/dinner come racing up. Rob thought he saw a Whopper on the ground of his house when he was a kid but when he popped it in his mouth, it turned out to be a tick that had come off the dog. (I lost it over that one, I'll never be the same again.) Head Roadie Bob saved his choking daughter and got a mouth full of iron supplement for it. Tony drank a Coke with a bee in it and it ended up stinging his tongue. Weirdly enough, Mike also had that happen to him. Angi took a moment then to readdress her fear of bees because she has never been stung by one and just assumes it would make her blow up and die if she was. Ashley had a nose picker kid who shoved a finger full into her mouth. Katie is a medical assistant and while swabbing a kids throat, ended up getting a mouth full of wet cough. Lastly, Head Roadie Tom had his son spray pee into his mouth when he was changing him as a baby.

Even though we are well rested and Angi survived her almost chance encounter with a hurricane completely unscathed, for whatever reason we were in a mood this morning. That's right, it's Monday morning and we are looking to get mad so the Daily Discussion Topic tackled a current online challenge created to get you furious. Without using politics as a jump point, start a fight in five words or less. There were plenty of examples to work with in case you are looking to cause strife in your workplace or homestead today. "Pineapple on pizza is awesome!" (I know people who would throw hands over that) "Mayo is trash." "Coffee is nasty." "Wine is better with ice." (Wanna see Angi take off her hoops, tell her that) "Dogs are better than cats." (I see nothing wrong with that one) "Star Wars is boring." (Walt would like a word with you) "Game of Thrones is stupid." "Goodfellas is mid." "Shawshank Redemption is overrated." "Brad Pitt was never hot." (Angi just got out the brass knuckles) "Will Ferrell is not funny." "PC's are better than Macs." (Marris agrees on this) "Nobody cares about hockey." "The Beatles are overrated." "Nirvana wasn't that good." "Breakdancing isn't a sport." The biggest one ever, which especially involves women, is telling them to "calm down." For the record, if you ever tell Angi to "calm down," she will literally explode (I know from personal experience.) As for the crew Michael said "Lebron is better than Jordan." Angi's pick was "ketchup on hotdogs is awesome." Marris decided to use this to make Angi mad with "Jordan's are overhyped" and because she was wearing some today, she almost killed him. In response, Angi told Marris "soccer sucks, especially Arsenal." With the studio crew completely enraged, Angi took to the Request Line to cause more festering anger to boil over. Mary's offering was "Taylor Swift, greatest singer ever!" Angi, noted hater of all things Taylor, offered that she got out of Top 40 before her second resurgence and she would have quit had she not. Tammy picked "ketchup on steak" because she does it and enjoys it which made the studio crew furious. Eric hit it out of the park telling Angi "you're just like your mother." Oddly enough, he would have no issue being compared to his dad but she was big mad about being compared to mom. Sarah said "The Avengers aren't cool" which led to a rabbit hole of Thor, "Lady Spiderwoman" aka Madame Web and The Thing. Brandon suggested "Sox are better than Cubs." Alan brought in "NASCAR isn't a real sport." We capped with Matt saying "You got some ugly babies."

We've made it to hump day and for some of us, that just means the week is half over. However, for Angi that means she is one day closer to her possible doom (I know, I say this every week but this time it may actually happen.) See, she is headed for a destination wedding in Jamaica tomorrow (which you can read more about in the rest of the notes) and so our show was very wedding centric this morning. The Daily Discussion Topic for example, tackled a couple who don't want to have a booze filled wedding (why even go?) because they don't drink. For this reason they aren't keen on an open bar and though they don't care if others drink, they don't want to pay for it. Apparently, somewhere along the lines cash bar got lost and Angi immediately put her foot down saying not to invite her if there is no bar. To be fair though, if they had an open bar with her there, well.... Anyway, the point that was trying to be made here is that if you are having a 6 hour party and there is no liquid courage to enhance the funtivities, people are not going to have fun dancing (and will more than likely sneak in flasks.) The point is to cater to the needs of your guests who are there to celebrate you but at the same time, they want to let loose and have fun. Now, that isn't to say that there are some rules that are fine including no kids, which Angi enforced at hers. This was because relatives were coming in from out of state and she wanted them to enjoy Chicago without being bogged down by brats. Of course, enforcement of this could only go so far as people insisted they bring their demon spawns and some of them even came for poor suffering Jay the Straight telling him his mother would have been disgusted by the imposed rule. That wasn't the only drama as there was also that thing with the guy selling cocaine and an uncle that got so drunk he was carried out and then came back for more an hour later. As for myself, I'm a wedding menace and have stories about my pants falling off, falling drunkenly into the DJ booth, peeing in an unused hall of a venue, a car accident and so much other nonsense that there isn't room here for. All of this nonsense had us asking the roadies what went down at either their weddings or ones they attended. Up first on the Request Line was Sarah who saw the best man propose to his girlfriend in the middle of the best man speech and then get thrown out by the pissed off groom. Jim's mother in law showed up which was enough to wreck things plenty but then she swapped out booze on the table for coffee services. Carter had a stranger throw beer labels at him and it made him want to resort to violence but our roadies are stand up citizens so he held back but he was pissed. Amy's ex husband was at a wedding with her and while she was in the bathroom, he requested their wedding song to the DJ. When she came out, he dragged her to the dance floor for an awkward dance. Mark made a best man speech saying he heard it should be as long as the groom is making love to his wife for the first time and then ended it a second later.

Welcome to the brightest show this side of Times Square (not brains obviously, I'm talking about lighting.) That's right, we are coming right out the gate with a take so hot, you'd think it was going to live forever (a little teaser for the other part of these notes.) So Michael earned his first taste of Angi insanity when he suggested that the world needs a new Mr. Rogers and of course, this upset our unhinged hostess greatly. After all, there is a place in the world for these great souls like Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross (shout out to his up and coming replacement, Yazan Spice.) Anyway, Angi sighed because she grew up in a world of trust no one and more so, do not trust them if they seem too wholesome for this world. Buckle up kids, we're entering slander territory for her and libel for me for writing out her deranged word vomiting. You see, she feels as though there is something innately sinister about that deceased good guy next door Mr. Rogers. After all, who in their right mind as a parent would let their kids go hang out next door with a single man who has a bunch of puppets in his house (don't worry, trolley gets it too.) That one kid who was always there feeding the fish, what was Mr. Rogers fed him afterwards! Marris, one of the two people in the studio who knew that this was a TV show and not real life (as I'm assuming Angi assumed,) said that nothing happened. Well, Angi was not buying that and she continued down the path of slanderation. We weighed how he had a long career and nothing was said but Angi said it was more about not besmirching his name (which makes know sense because everyone loves to cancel others.) Angi directed her point then to saying intern HP knows if someone is bad and even though Marris explained that nothing has ever been said about Fred Rogers, Angi pulled out her next unhinged point. It is not okay to send kids next door to play with a single man's fish, puppets and train which I'm assuming were all supposed to be euphemisms. As she pointed out, he was trying to pull a choo choo train on you. This then transitioned to coming for the mailman and Mr. Rogers "allegedly" (I'm not going down for this one Angi) having a van with a Playstation and candy in it. She made a point saying that whenever someone is too good to be true, there's always a scandal attached to it like how Mr. Beast is currently going down or remember how Mother Teresa would beat those girls. The moment that sweater went on and those kids came over, his pants grew three sizes that day. As Marris explained how all scandal ridden children come to light like those Barney brats and the Nickelodeon kids who got their toes sucked by that disgusting pig showrunner. No one has come out against Mr. Rogers but Angi explained they are all secretly in a group with the Michael Jackson kids and they're all trying to just protect his legacy. We ended this non-stop train of getting us plenty of mad people and phone calls from estates by having Angi go after Bozo as well even though she had to be reminded that his name was not "that scary ass clown." In fact, she doesn't trust any adults in a costume that entertains kids (and this is after she got felt up by Southpaw on Friday and plotted a threesome with Benny the Bull and Tommy Hawk.)

Well, that was certainly a wild weekend and after everything that went down, I hope you're a bit sober because there is a lot to unpack today. FYI, I'm not sober but that's beyond the point, let's get into this steaming pile. So Angi was at the show event at Cork & Kerry on Friday when Southpaw came in and tried to knock Tommy Hawk out of her DM's and then she went to a Top 5 of All Time Metallica show (when pressed what was knocked out of her top 5, she didn't know because she barely knows what planet she's on most days.) This was followed by a trip to Serb Fest which got her thinking about culture and created a Daily Discussion Topic for us. Angi sought to hear about funny or weird things from people's cultures so we started with hers. Promaja, which is a superstition about leaving two windows open at the same time and them causing a health risk while also allowing for the devil to come in. However, if you tuck your shirt into your pants, it keeps the devil from being able to get to your kidneys. Right, so her people are nuts, let's get to something more grounded in reality from Marris. He explained to us why smoke alarms are always chirping in black peoples houses. Aside from the fact that they never get changed, it has to do with different ones going off at separate times and not knowing which is the one that is going bad so they all just get ignored. In fact, he has vivid memories of being at his grandma's house and playing in the basement while that familiar chirp was going. I also have vivid memories but they mostly come from playing video games online. Anig and Michael both explained that this is a no go in their respective houses because it makes their dogs go nuts. Speaking of Michael, his contribution as a Brit is how much they love to use the "c" word. I personally think I must have been British in a past life because that is my favorite word and I use it to pepper pretty much all of my sentences off air. As for his white American side, he offered the love of Ed Hardy and unseasoned white chicken. I'd offer up mine but I don't know anything interesting about being Lithuanian, Polish and Greek so let's just go right to the Request Line. Kristen is Armenian as they have the evil eye. This is used to ward off bad stuff but if you happen to not be wearing yours, her 98 year old grandmother will pinch your butt which also works as protection it seems. Erin was married to a Serb for 16 years and learned that sitting on concrete causes hemorrhoids and eating popsicles in the winter will give you a sore throat. Chris is Scottish and told us how the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. He assumed they picked it because they drank too much. Jeff called into discuss how Polack's are cheap and always trying to save money. Eric is Sicillian and he has to get out of bed right foot first or else!

Well, today has been an absolutely insane time and I don't even know where to start to construct and discuss this Chainsaw Friday craziness so let's look at tonight's Cork & Kerry tour stop and Angi giving birth to a new show member. First things first, Cork & Kerry tonight, there will be two pairs of Metallica tickets and a chainsaw. That's right, someone in legal decided it would be okay to let these two dingdongs wander drunkenly around the bar with a chainsaw. Here's the thing though, this was meant to be a prop chainsaw to celebrate Chainsaw Friday but that was not enough for Angi. No, she put her foot down as the host of this trainwreck show and wanted to give away the chainsaw. It was meant to be given away at the next tour stop but because she runs the asylum, she is going to buy another one and give the one they are bringing with them tonight away. So if you see someone wandering around The Loop with a chainsaw tonight, congratulate our winner and pray they aren't a serial killer. Speaking of people we hope aren't killers, also at Cork & Kerry tonight will be the newest member of the Angi Taylor Show. See, when the ratings are incredible like ours are, the big bosses allow for the morning zoo to expand a little by opening purse strings that are normally tighter than Marris' ass. Gone are the days of a pizza party for ratings, we are getting a third chair in the studio. His name is Michael Mason, he just moved to Chicago this week from Denver and he is a Cubs fan, which means Angi is alone on epic loser White Sox island. While the roadies will get a chance to meet Michael (and his wife) at Cork & Kerry tonight, he officially begins the show on Monday. The "8 foot tall, tatted up social media sweetheart," deserves an absolutely amazing Chicago Welcome (which is a little different than a San Diego Thank You.) Since he is new to town and we on this show are notorious pranksters (see: a-hole's,) we're going to have a little fun next week with a round of wrong answers only places in Chicago Michael needs to go visit. That's right, barely stepping foot in the studio and Angi is already looking for ways to make this guy regret being here. Either way, if you're going out tonight go say hi to our new boy or if you're going to be busy doing one of the 800 things there are to do this weekend in the city, tune in on Monday morning to meet him properly.

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.

Middle of the week is the perfect way to segway into middle aged (well, maybe a bit older, the way things are sagging on Angi you'd think she's like 110.) This morning, we explored aging up by breaking out the good old Sarah McLachlan to backdrop Angi's newest feud. That's right, it's Angi vs. the USPS but not for reasons you would assume (and by that I mean it's more delusional than you could probably imagine.) Her ire was spawned from a (incorrect) belief that her mail people are trolling her because after checking the mail for the first time in 5 days, 13 of the 17 pieces of mail were from AARP. On the cover of this month's issue (I'm assuming they come monthly, old people like Angi die pretty fast so they need to pump those things out in short order,) was Kevin Costner (who was probably complaining how he lost his house financing a garbage project.) While crying that she didn't want to learn about how to fight "sitting disease," she then turned her ire from the post office to imaginary people who signed her old ass up for it. Of course, in a rare moment of lucidity in her early onset brain, it dawned on her that she may have actually signed up for it because of discounts. Though she hooted and hollered how she didn't want AARP and wasn't ready for it (see: she is,) she then found an article about puzzles and ways to help sugar cravings. Of course, we were back in the red once she stumbled upon the lightest mobility scooter (for those of you wondering, yes she was thumbing through the magazine on air, hence these weird jumping points.) Marris added that perhaps we should look into a mobility scooter because the last time she got on something with wheels, she almost fell into the Chicago River. We moved on then to an article on Marilu Henner and Jewel, who has great cans according to Angi. As Marris tried to explain to her that some of this stuff could be helpful, Angi turned more pages and yelled about tightrope artists and mariachi bands (I don't know if that was in the magazine or if she was having a senior moment.) After then going on about how she doesn't want to read articles from AARP (while reading articles from AARP,) she returned once again to blaming the postal workers for this nonsense. Marris, again attempting to be the world's best orderly when it comes to dealing with early onset patients, said she does have her supper at 4 or 5 P.M. because she's usually in bed by like 7. Somehow, this led us back to sitting disease (I know all of this reads like a jumbled mess but this is how it was on air so don't yell at me!) and how it diminishes brain function (like we have more room for that with her.) Then we were back to Kevin Costner again before settling on Angi probably needing a life alert bracelet and The Clapper as she tends to fall a lot since she's older than the first submarine (1620.)
