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.)

Another weekend done and we have arrived, spooky season is here and I for one am absolutely thrilled. I mean, what's not to love about fall. The changing weather (used to exist, it's going to be a hot one this week,) the atmosphere, 31 days of horror movies, October has everything. Even though October is already stacked, it was further enthused by the emergence of the U2 residency at The Sphere in Vegas, which started on Friday night. Apparently, the show was pretty stellar, as showcased by Marris' friend Lebron (James) who showed him great visuals and terrible seats. (Edit: apparently Marris follows Lebron James on Instagram and Lebron has no idea who Marris is.) Angi wondered if the pics were from a suite because the angle may have caused it to look bad. She saw all her pics and videos from all the iHeart bosses who were there and shared them. (Edit: apparently Angi just follows the iHeart bosses on Instagram and they have no idea who Angi is.) Anyway, since we're talking about U2, Angi found a way to dump on them because she was dumped by someone who loved them. Once upon a time, when she was young and in love, an ex introduced her to the band and she fell hard. Between War and Joshua Tree, they seemed to be a band she would love forever (we'll pretend Songs of Innocence didn't happen.) However, that boyfriend was a cheating a-hole (for those keeping track, he was the one that bought two of the same present for Angi and his side piece.) Since slicing off that tainted toxic relationship, she still can kind of jam to the songs but they just don't mesh the way they used to. As for Marris, Halloween does not ring beloved and true like it once did (and still does for me.) His holiday take down was accompanied by a street fight with his drunken ex. It was your typical shouting match which turned into a shoving match as the girl went after him. Being a gentleman, he wasn't going to lay her out in the street but also, the two cops standing and watching it didn't help. She, after making her point loud and clear, turned to jabbing him over and over. Praying that he would hit her, the cops did not get their wish. Instead, after the 20th chest poke from her, Marris went home. So that's two contributions to the Daily Discussion Topic of things that were once loved that an ex ruined but of course the Request Line was filled with roadies to offer up a few more examples. Kim said all of Boston was ruined by an ex and she will never go back again. For her, most of the best lessons she learned were on those streets and after dumping her ex, she can't bring herself to revisit any of them. Angi feels the same way about certain streets as well as they remind her of bad ex's and lot lizarding. Alica had Christmas and Valentine's Day swept out from her when her ex proposed on Christmas and then cheated on her/dumped her on Valentine's Day. Angi suggested that no one ever propose on a holiday, which is smart (and very sound advice.) Stephanie called to say her ex (swerve incoming) was a big metal head, so much so he had Lamb of God tattooed on his body. He tried to get her into heavy metal, got her into it and then they broke up. She ended up hating heavy metal but in a "who saw that coming" plot twist, they were apart for three years and then got back together. 7 years later now they are married with one kid and another on the way. Nate, who won tickets from us before, apparently lost the ability to enjoy and feel love when his ex walked away. The thing is though, he has love to give and is looking to offer it up.

Other Stuff from Today's Show:

As always though, we just passed a weekend and you know what that means. I mean, it means that everything sucks because it's Monday but also, there's a ton going on but also, a weekend worth of stuff to dissect. Funny enough, the weekend was pretty chill overall but there was the much hyped last week trip to Old Joliet Prison that Angi and Marris ended up taking. The haunted walk through was filled with screams, chainsaws and Angi sweating like a pig as her nerves were completely shot. Though she probably should have taken a note from the performers there as they tend to be screaming nightly and don't lose their voice when they do it. If Angi ran her mouth all weekend (wait, if?) her voice would be too far gone for any kind of Monday morning radio fun. Needless to say, she was scared sh...wait a second, almost tripped up there. She was scared, the daylights left her body, let's leave it at that.

The biggest part of the weekend though belonged to the Bears and their loss, which Angi said we weren't going to talk about all day. Strangely enough (see ironically,) all we did all morning was bitch about it and devote a ton of show time to it. This makes sense though as the last time they actually won was October 24th of last year. However, since she was steamed and other fans were as well, Angi decided to create a safe space to vent about it. Dubbed "10 Seconds to Bitch About the Bears," Angi gave the roadies an opportunity to let their voices, opinions and nonsense be heard on the Request Line. Tim called to say that Justin Fields should be given a chance to take the reins and run with them. Who cares what he does, let him do crazy things, let him try something that is incredibly dumb. Gumball suggested that every other game should see the practice squad take the field because at least something interesting would be happening. We also got a joke from him. How many Bears fans does it take to change a lightbulb? 4, three to change the lightbulb and one to talk about how good the team was in 1985. Marris said that Justin Fields played so well last year and yesterday there were glimpses of that returning but the defense really dropped the ball (so to speak.) Angi thinks that she should be up for the position as head coach as her fantasy team is currently 4-0 and honestly, would it be all that bad to slide her in for the sake?

Finally, since it was football day here on the show, how about a quick glance at some of the Best Stadium Foods across the country.

They offered to pay everyone's tab if the Bears lost and well ... that must have been a hell of an expense. According to the owner, two types of people came in: those who wanted the Bears to win and those who wanted to drink for free. Angi, in all her wisdom, has suggested we make Rock 95.5 branded paper grocery bags for us to wear on our heads outside the stadium on game day for the time being because that's definitely less costly than free drinks.
