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.)
You know, normally we complain that it's Tuesday because Tuesday is the worst day of the week but today was something special. Maybe it's the idea that vacation is like a week and a half away or perhaps it's because it's going to be so nice today but we were really firing on all cylinders. This is obviously crazy because as you know, we are so old. The lead up to that has to do with how much of today's show actually felt like it was geared toward all the younger people (see: a warning) of what is to come. You may rule the roost now but one day you will be just like us, tired, worn down, sagging and over it. However, it is not all bad as showcased during a discussion on things that we were indifferent towards as a kid but as an adult, you realize they are actually fire...sorry lit. Perk up those ears kids because we're about to crash course you on things that will be exciting to you in about 20 years almost as much as Tiktok is now.
- Leftovers: Marris loves leftovers and I have to agree, so good. In fact, Angi brought Marris leftovers this morning (I'm assuming she didn't cook them, she doesn't know what a kitchen is.)
- Getting up early on a Saturday (to go to the farmer's market): Remove the market part and just get up early on a Saturday to get stuff done so you can spend all Sunday bed rotting.
- Yardwork: Angi and Marris do love a freshly trimmed...lawn.
- Walking into Costco: Angi gets a boner from this but Marris gets overwhelmed. He doesn't need 5 pounds of Cheez-It's but he will buy them and eat them all.
- Going to the grocery store/CVS and getting a great deal: You break out that loyalty card and save money, that's fire...damnit lit. Angi goes to Target, uses her app and saves $12, she floods her basement.
- High quality bedding: Marris has medium quality, he needs to invest.
- Framing puzzles: Angi got into them during covid as she drank all day and ordered a bunch.
- Paying bills: Okay, this one is clearly a cap (see, I'm learning!)
- Alone time: Marris gets a ton (and Angi wishes she got more.) Marris even drove to work in silence once to enjoy it (get it, enjoy the silence ... I'll see myself off the roof.)
- Organizing: Just no, unless you are Jay the Straight. See, when The Container Store had a grand opening, he was front and center with the moms losing his mind to the DJ playing "Shake It Off" and buying cereal organizers.
- Owning an Instant Pot: Angi hated hers, she burnt everything in it and so she threw it on her balcony and eventually in the trash.
- Bird watching: Angi spies on hers under duress because they are pigeons and not owls which she actually likes.
- Slicing into a perfectly ripe avocado: Angi loves it, Marris just loves to eat it.
- Angi's addition to the list is buying power tools while Marris chose buying tires.
Other Stuff from Today's
Right, more stuff for the youngins here as we explored how we oldheads are texting wrong. You see, Marris is a dry texter as is and now that he's realizing that adding an extra comment feels essential to not seem as such, he really hated hearing how outdated some acronyms were. For example, LOL is dead these days and that's painful for Angi as she uses it so much. However, she feels "haha" just feels lazy. Anyway, here's what else we should stop using.
YOLO - change it to DIFTP (Do It for the Plot). Marris added this isn't a story, this is life!
KK (aka my favorite response) - change it to Bet. Marris was furious, bet is apparently our word as millenials.
LMFAO - change it to IJBOL which no one under 13 knows what it means and yet.
ROFL - change it to a skull emoji (done!)
GR8 - change it to "that slaps." Again though, who used GR8 in the first place.
Diss - change it to clapback
Fire - change it to lit. Marris was furious over this one and so am I.
Gross - change it to ick. Marris bout to burst a blood vessel.
Give Me the 411 - change it to "what's the tea." No one under 40 knows 411.
Cray - change it to delulu. Marris said using delusional hurts more.
We also learned of "woof" which apparently the gays love (how would I know, I'm old, they took my membership card.) Apparently woof is super hot like Henry Cavil is woof!
Onward to more things we hate (I'm seeing a theme today) with the Daily Discussion Topic centered firmly on bands that, no matter how hard you try, you just can't stand. Like your friend loves them and wants you to love them. Maybe it's your partner who wants you to love and band it is not your niche. For Angi, it's Dave Matthews Band and Soundgarden. Dave just makes her bonkers and Soundgarden just bums her out with all their songs about death. Apparently grunge is just hard for her because she likes to be happy and party. As for Marris, Bruce Springsteen is his "everyone loves this and I don't get it" artist. Angi actually went to a wedding where it was themed to Bruce Springsteen and had album named tables and the band only played Bruce songs. Also on Marris' "I don't get it list" is Greta Van Fleet which to him is just not new, it's Led Zeppelin for the young kids. The influence is essentially copy and paste. My picks were U2 and Rage Against the Machine, I understand why people love them but it does nothing for me. This topic was hot as hell so let's jump right to the Request Line. Starting with Tammy, she just does not dig Hozier, he just depresses her. Melanie doesn't like Metallica which made Angi and Marris mad but she feels the songs are too long and the guitar and vocals just don't match. Dorothy doesn't like Coldplay because Chris Martin is ugly (ouch.) Kevin is a Dave Matthews hater as well, complaining about people following them around like the Deadheads do the Grateful Dead. Megan can not get into Tool even though her boyfriend loves them. She feels the songs just go nowhere and Angi is apparently lukewarm on them as well. Jason will listen to anything unless it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Nirvana. He never understood the words that Nirvana were saying and he hates Anthony Kiedis' voice. Angi also is not a Nirvana girl. Sam said Rage Against the Machine and Mötley Crüe. He can't stand hair bands and to him, RAtM are just a bunch of whiners. 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, what do normal shoes do at 5 A.M.? Play music, discuss a small topic, and introduce the morning. What do we do at 5 A.M.?, get in trouble with HR. Angi started the morning discussing a guy sitting on his balls. Angi was curious how this occurs as she went over a story about a guy getting this stuck in his truck. Seeing as Marris is a man and in the studio, added that he has done it before. Angi, queen of obliviousness, complained about not understanding how one does it. Of course, Marris had to demonstrate how this is possible. In this, Marris turned his crotch to Angi so she could visualize how it could happen. So if you're wondering why we're going to be busy in the next few weeks, we have yet another issue that we need to deal with and hope we don't get fired for.

10 O' Clock Toast:
Toastee:
Wally the Alligator
A man's emotional support alligator has gone missing and he is devastated. He is offering a reward for the animal that has been missing since the beginning of April (which we learned Marris doesn't know what month it is.) Apparently, the thing was stolen because it definitely would not run away from a 30 year reptile rescuer who feels the animal is loveable and non aggressive enough to sleep in bed with.
