Angi Taylor Show Recap With Jay The Gay - 5-30-2023

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.)

There's truly nothing better than a three day holiday weekend filled with drinking coming to an end and then coming back to work for a shortened week. I mean, not having to work for the rest of the week would be better or getting a Friday off works as well but we take what we can get right? Besides, we all needed that extended weekend to recharge and do stuff. Correction, Abe did stuff because Angi was busy selling her house (more on that in a moment) and I was busy being drunk for three days for my "extended birthday weekend." Abe was actually Mr. Popular this weekend it seemed as he was out and about doing tons of stuff. There was the Janet Jackson concert on Saturday night and of course, it was the annual IML convention in Chicago that he had to get all in (I'm assuming, as I said I was drunk for three days and I may still be.) However, it was a picture Abe posted with his girlfriend Cathy Tropicana that caused a true firestorm. Aside from his badass pants that Barnwood Sports Tim would love a pair of, it seemed Abe being at the Cubs game was a sticking point for a ton of roadies. From being called Jobber of the Year to receiving death threats, Abe had to issue PSA's and yell at everyone because as we should know by now, being at a Cubs game doesn't mean you switched teams and are now living in Wrigleyville. If this was the case at all, Abe would be living on Northhalsted. While Abe was busy seeing the sites, Angi was out causing them by hiding in a pair of bushes down the street to survey who attended her open house on Saturday. As we mentioned on Friday's show, Angi was putting her house up for sale on that day and the open house was Saturday. Nosey and not thin enough just yet to hide under the bed, Angi grabbed the dogs and squatted in some bushes for five hours on Saturday to see who wanted a piece of her swaying flop shack money pit. It turned out that there were two people who were in love immediately and it sparked a bidding war that ended up causing the house to be sold on Sunday. That's right, Angi is truly officially going to be homeless on July 31st. Even though she knows she's going to have to rent something for a while since there is no inventory out there and anything that exists gets scooped up immediately, Angi doesn't want to rent for a year. She is looking for a true place she wants to settle into and won't just grab a place for the sake. For this reason, she put out the call for a roadie that is willing to take in her, Jay the Straight and her two ancient dogs. Correction, she just needs someone for her and the dogs because Abe is ready and willing to have Jay the Straight stay with him. The pair can watch wrestling, eat mayo covered food and of course, spoon under a weighted blanket.

Other Stuff from Today's Show

As I said, we're all probably tired and hungover from partying for the last three days so we're breaking out an easy and fun topic for today's daily discussion. Over on Tiktok, an argument has arisen on an account with three million followers as to what the best karaoke song is. Though no order is given, the account posted his top 5 which led Angi to want to hear from the roadies as to what they love to sing when they go karaoking. Mind you, the last time she went was Jason Brown's birthday on the North Side and they condemned the building after she dueted "Bring Me to Life" with him. Anyway, here's the list the 3,000,000 follower guy picked.

"Since You Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson (which is also Angi's go to choice to sing when out and drunk.)

"Respect" by Aretha Franklin

"Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners

"Island in the Sun" by Weezer

"It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.

As expected, people were dropping things in the comments and were offended the list didn't include "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, "Piano Man" by Billy Joel and of course, Abe surely expected to see his favorite "Love Gun" on the list.

We could end up discussing this endlessly much like the Tiktok comment section so instead, let's check out the Request Line (where the roadie was also forced to sing) and some suggestions from our Facebook group. Sam called up and sang "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed. Christeen called to sing "Wonderwall" by Oasis for us. John did "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. Over on the group, "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks was Destiny's choice. David (and I'm assuming also Danhausen) picked "Tequila" by The Champs. Kevin is a fan of "Roxanne" by The Police. Lastly, Marc can't stop doing "Lola" by Barry Manilow. If you are looking for more roadie comments or have your own, hit up our Facebook group (The Angi Taylor Show) and read up or drop us a comment.

Onward to more nonsense (and I'm just noticing that all the extra topics today seem to be media related.) Quentin Tarantino is a legendary director (and overrated imo) who is known for wild movies but an even wilder foot fetish. If you watch anything he makes, you can see feet prominently displayed by almost all his female leads and as Abe likes to say, this clearly means he has small junk. The reason he's making a footnote (get it) in today's notes is because a story came out recently about a trip he once took to a strip club. He asked for the girl with the biggest chest and biggest ass that he could take to the champagne room. The only thing that got popped back there though were a pair of shoes off the girls feet as Quentin proceeded to go to town on her piggies for a half hour. Sucking her toes, licking her feet, this nonsense went on so long and was so wet, her feet were pruned by the end. This foray into fetish netted the girl a sweet $10,000 though and probably plenty of time to look at reels on Instagram. While Abe questioned what kind of strip club allows for such nonsense to occur, Angi was already churning the wheels. For $10,000, she'd let some creep go to town on her toes. As he watched the dollar signs flash in front of her eyes, Abe then offered up his flat feet as well though he may be a bit ticklish (funny enough, that's also a fetish.) Though this is a no judgement show, if you like feet, what the f is wrong with you? I mean, we all know Quentin is an absolute sick depraved weirdo but you listen to this show so you can't be all that bad....

Finally, Angi decided to revisit the summer blockbusters from 1975 to 1984, I'm assuming because summer is almost here and it's fun to gamble on the idea of what will truly excel. Though we're seeing massive flops currently like The Little Mermaid and Fast X, there's high hopes for the summer crop. As for what seems to be projected as the big winner of this summer currently, it seems Barbie might take that crown. As I said though, we're doing a bit of a rewind so join us and let's look at some of the big winners.

1975 - Jaws

1976 - The Omen

1977 - Star Wars: A New Hope

1978 - Grease

1979 - The Amityville Horror

1980 - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

1981 - Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

1982 - E.T.

1983 - Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

1984 - Ghostbusters

As for more recent ones

2019 - The Lion King

2022 - Top Gun: Maverick

Still on the list of movies Abe hasn't finished is the original Top Gun as he got to the bathroom scene with the girl and he was just bored. If there had been more topless dudes in it or like an endless loop of the volleyball scene, he'd have been into it.

Request Wars 2.0

Champion: Abe (Streak: 1)

Angi's (repping Gary) Song Choice: "Alive" by P.O.D.

Abe's (repping Brooke) Song Choice: "Legs" by ZZ Top

10 O' Clock Toast

Toastee: Peppa the French Bulldog

Last week it was reported that poor Peppa was stolen from her owner at gunpoint. It was learned over the weekend that Peppa was returned unharmed, making this your feel good story of the day. Note to Angi's frenchie, if she gets held up for you, she's handing over the leash and running.
