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.)
Today was one of those shows where I feel my notes will not do enough justice because there was so much nonsense covered and I only have so much room to actually construct witty wordplay for a day. As I sometimes do (and you already should be doing if you missed anything,) I implore you to check out the podcast for today. We start this out with a dual layered topic where our hostess with the moistest (towelettes, what did you think I was going to say!) opened the floor to a discussion. It was about relationships and hairstyles, whether a significant other should run a hairstyle change by their partner before doing it. Marris said he would be fine with that but he would expect to be offered the same respect if he got a Michelangelo tattoo on his forehead or more realistically, decided to chop his beard off. Mind you, none of this actually mattered because reality was being bent on her by Angi the Taskmaster, whose ponderance was actually about her but not Jay the Straight as the secondary party. You see, Angi had a friend of hers recently cut off her long hair and she's kind of annoyed that this friend did not run it by her first. Meanwhile, as you should all know, Angi is a style icon who once mirrored Britney and chopped off her hair in a moment of emotional meltdown and despair. However, Angi's attempt to express herself through hair therapy only ended up making her look like a little Dutch boy. It should be noted that the friend in question looks great but again, Angi expected a meeting before any life decisions were made. Marris offered if he too was forced into this if he was to say dye his hair blond (like Frank Ocean) or silver (like Sisqó.) Angi was not on board with this and only would allow it if he dyed it silver like The Silver Surfer (God bless her, she really tries.) Since this was a two for one special though, Angi then switched gears to current obsession (that she's 12 years late on) Game of Thrones. We get to watch the cultural phenomenon through fresh eyes and after finishing the first season last night, she's ready to quit. First off, she's furious that they killed off Khal Drogo which we calmly explained to her (both on text and on the show is like one of the least important things) but the lack of a shirtless Jason Mamoa was almost a deal breaker for her. However, the enticement of more men to come was almost enough to save her but there was also the issue of the dragons. She does not care for the dragons because they are fictional and cartoons. Mind you, she assumed for a time I think that this was some historically accurate nonsense. Apparently, someone failed to mention there would be dragons to her before she started and this sent her over the edge. Marris tried to calm her by explaining she had seen dire wolves but the 8 foot wolves to her seemed to be offshoots of Marmaduke. Even though there was a brief realization that the show is not real, Angi found herself questioning what was coming next. She's already waiting for appearances from Willy Wonka, The Grinch and The Loch Ness Monster (if only she knew how weird the show is going to get, oh man, those will be some texts.) As expected though Angi's ire was putting her on the brink of quitting but Marris helped seal a deal with the devil. When she was promised more sex, more brothels, more whores and more incest, she was intrigued but also wanted dragon incest as well. To push her back on track though, Marris offered to watch all of Peaky Blinders during our week off next week and while he's jerking it to Thomas Shelby, she will move on to season 2.
Other Stuff from Today's Show:
Though today was a very ADHD bonkers random nonsense day, it was kind of funny that there were three topics that actually tackled hiding something. The first was about men, the second was for the roadies and the third technically is about hiding a holiday gift. We begin with men where 33% of them polled admitted to being guilty of hiding something behind their partners back. Weirdly enough it wasn't cheating, gambling or hiding money. No, these men are hiding a home improvement project from their partner and Marris weirdly understood this. His was not hiding though but more he "started installing faucets and then he just stopped." He referred to Youtube to do the repairs and remodel but it was not worth it and so he went back to video games. Angi, queen of the a-holes, used this moment to drag forever and ever suffering Jay the Straight for a kindness he once tried to provide. While she was out of town on a trip, he said he was going to remodel the guest bathroom downstairs. This makeover consisted of some painting and a replaced toilet paper holder that went from silver to black. The thing was, everything else was too hard to swap out and so there was a black toilet paper holder and towel rack but everything else remained silver. Angi explained that even though he sought to provide a kindness, she said that he ended up just taking down their property value 50% because things did not match. She was curious if any of the roadies went to flip and then flop their residence but she got detoured into goofing on Jay the Straight some more. He is not handy and so now Angi only bows to real men. Keep this in mind fellas if you wanna get with Angi one day, be able to change a lightbulb and change the toilet paper roll when you finish it.
Anyway, onto the second form of hiding which spawned into this morning's Daily Discussion Topic. Apparently, 35% of men have tried to hide their purchase of a motorcycle from their mothers. While this is obviously silly and a little insane, it sort of matches the idea that secrecy and parental fear can go hand in hand at any age. To really understand what we are hiding from our parents as an adult, it would make sense to tackle Angi and Marris who weren't all that helpful. Marris explained that his initial tattoo was a conversation but the spiral into plenty of extra ones was not a shocker. No one figured he would not be so excessive so his body, his choice was fine in this instance. As for Angi, she is only hiding her real feelings from her mother so that's not much to work with either. Myself, my mother might know a bit too much and so I can't offer anything to work with. Luckily for us, Leon Rogers from WGCI happened to be in the studio and he threw out a shocker. He explained that he is hiding from his wife and his mother that he bought a Harley. That's right, the literal topic of discussion was standing in the studio. The bike is on order and won't arrive until next year but once he gets it, he's going to trick it out and will be hitting the Viagra Triangle with his arms out and "Immigrant Song" will be blasting as he flies by. Now that we proved that this is actually a real thing and not some form of device to start pointless discussion nonsense, let's go to the phones to hear what the roadies are hiding. Amber is 46 and hiding a pretty big tattoo of flowers on her stomach. She explained that if her parents found out, they would be devastated. Angi explained that she once worked on a show with someone who had a tattoo and the host proceeded to spill the beans on air because YOLO. Dan and his dad used to hunt and fish and would secretly buy shotguns and stash them around the house without trying to alert his mother that they were getting new ones. Dawn threw a party and broke an antique rocking chair. She told her parents her friend accidentally did it but the reality was two people screwing around caused it to explode into pieces. Big Mike also has a Harley secret as he traded his hot rod for a bike. His wife actually knows but his parents do not as they would be furious if they found out. If you are looking for more roadie thoughts or have your own, hit up our Facebook group (Angi Taylor Show) and drop us a comment.
Finally, holiday shopping is coming fast and furious and that means we need to have started like a month ago. If you are smart like Angi though, you started two months ago and bought Marris' birthday gift for his birthday which is next week but we are off. Though she didn't reveal what she will be gifting him on his birthday show this upcoming Friday, she did reveal that 17 years in a row that gift cards are the most popular gift. Before going into the list of The 10 Most Popular Gift Cards of 2023, it should be noted that stores love people buying gift cards because people forget to use them or leave the 80 cents leftover on the rot and the store profits.

This little 6 year old shot to the top of Angi's boyfriend list this morning and got himself some Sox tickets for being so awesome. Of course, he might have to get in line and fight Southpaw for her but then again, once he goes down, there's still 900 other guys behind him.
