The Angi Taylor Show WCHI-FM Podcasts

Well we've reached hump day once more and Angi has yet to complain about something going wrong with her body which I think is bordering on a world record and I for one am sho... (reads rest of note...oh godd....) Right, you know the drill by now, crank up the Sarah McLachlan, light one of those prayer candles and strap in because this one is an absolute doozy. So Angi started this dip into the calm cooling waters of insanity by asking if anyone knows how to get on the dark web. Obviously, we all pretty much expected to hear that she was finally looking for a hitman to get rid of Jay the Straight for (insert her reason for being mad/crazy) but no, her needs were even great. Normally, I save my sigh/dramatic pause/disgust for my call but it should be noted I'm doing it as I type these notes. Angi wants to go on the dark web so she can buy body parts. Well actually, stuff found in body parts or for the sake of not dragging out a tease, the woman is desperately seeking cartilage. Apparently, her joints are cracking so much, you would think there is a karate class occurring any time she enters the room. She needs someone to grease the 5th wheel as she is now a combination of Iron Man, the Iron Curtain and the Iron Lady. This Miami Sound Machine meets Nine Inch Nails on a broken keyboard sound invasion began occurring when Angi started doing daily yoga. Though she doesn't want to stop because her body is old and needs to move, everything is rubbing harder and it's essentially bone on bone. While pondering if they sold cartilage like they do box wine at Liquor Barn, Marris mentioned that it can be regrown using cells. Angi just assumed it was regrown on a farm (and I assumed maybe iHeart won't let her come back from her London trip.) After that, the most educated (see: stupid) show in the morning did a Google search to figure out how many joints our bodies have so Angi could complain with a specific number. Angi is most upset about the fact that she used to be nimble and bendy (in 1938) and now every time she bends over, it sounds like the 4th of July. Apparently these joints all go at once (what a waste of a show) from her neck to her pinky toe. So not only is her brain broken but now the rest of her is as well (big sad.) Also in her dark web shopping cart is a new liver and since she was feeling generous, she offered to buy Marris some new kneecaps. I think this is where we should add that Angi and Marris took a trip to QC Kinetix this week and while there, she didn't even bother to ask why her body sounds like someone walking across an old wooden floor whenever she bends over. She was apparently embarrassed by her ailment that she's complaining about on the radio because they were busy helping real people with real problems. However, if she does end up finding the cartilage dealer on the dark web or off Craigslist, she needs to do her hips first, then her back and lastly her neck. Perhaps she can have a London or Paris surgeon investigate the issue while she is there if she isn't arrested before Friday for Googling "how do I get on the dark web to buy stuff?" over and over.

Boy, today was a real whirlwind of a show with both Angi and Marris taking turns showcasing their unique skills. While I'll get to Angi's in a moment as it involved the Daily Discussion Topic and she went into full "mama bear" mode, Marris on the other hand showcased his manliness (see: rugged stupidity?) during a discussion about a viral topic ironically also involving a bear. After pondering if Marris could build a fire (he can't,) Angi introduced us to a currently viral question that seems to have a very easy answer. If you're a woman and you're stuck in the woods, would you rather it be with a man or a bear? Before we start dissecting the answer to this simple question, we looked at Marris' survival skill set. Apparently, he thinks he can survive for two weeks in the woods and even though he can not make fire, he would drink the non purified water he finds and just wing it. He has seen plenty of outdoor shows so he's pretty certain he can live off the land (I need someone to greenlight a show with him being dropped in a forest yesterday.) Anyway, rounding back to the question of would a woman rather be in the woods with a man or a bear, the resounding answer was the bear. When 8 women were polled on the street (I'm assuming this is how the question began and then went viral,) 7 said they would pick the bear. Obviously, this choice is very telling about the nature of men and how women view them. Even Marris thought the topic was kind of funny and jokey initially but when considering it, understood that it really wasn't. Some people feel that there is perhaps a lack of honesty in some of this but the reality is this is firmly a discussion about how women feel about men. A bear's natural instinct is to kill and eat you but a man is a more dangerous predator because there is a good chance he would assault you (and then maybe kill and possibly eat you.) Marris understands the notion of how men behave dangerously and was once a bodyguard to a team of women in one of his 87 other jobs (I should add "bodyguard" because even though he was boss, he felt protective of them.) They even had code words and hand signals in case issues arose which all things considered, is truly a wild way to have to live. Angi was complimentary of Marris protecting women as we all should be because it's not hard to be a good guy, ego just chooses to overlook that. To add another to the "I'd rather have a bear list," HP said she wants the bear as well because she has bear mace. While Marris questioned why HP carries bear mace, Angi went back to my earlier point on how a bear would just eat you. Marris added though that isn't fully the case as most bears are afraid of you outside of polar bears. If you happen to run into a polar bear in the wild, you're pretty much done. As we started to put this topic to bed, Angi added she too would choose to have the bear in the woods but also pondered why dudes are wandering around in the woods in the first place. Perhaps Smokey the Bear could have answered these questions but he disowned us when we burned down most of the forest last year.

Ah Monday, we start the week with a goal in mind, knowing that we will soon get a week off for Angi's big London trip and so we are going to hit you hard and fast all week so you'll be thinking about us while we're away. With that in mind, we came hot out the gate with a Daily Discussion Topic focusing on dealing with pain in the ass people. This topic was spawned from a hair stylist, who took to social media to offer up some complaints about things that frustrate and annoy them (the hair stylist community as a whole I'm assuming.) Being Late - be polite if this happens and apologize, there are other customers on the docket as well so don't just walk in and sit down like nothing happened. Trust the Expert - Tell them what you want but don't try to hairsplain them, they know what they're doing. Lice - for the love of all things, don't show up with lice in your hair. Marris, of course, was disgusted in hearing things but that's the underbelly of choppin mops. Don't Be Gross in the Chair - don't pick your nose, etc. Don't Invade Their Privacy - just because you treat the stylist like your bartender and spill your secrets doesn't mean you should be prying into their business. Wash Your Hair - don't go in with hair that hasn't been washed in weeks or is covered in gym sweat. Don't Try to Lend a Hand While Shampooing - Marris was confused why people would do this in the first place but as we've seen time and again, people are nuts. So, with that all firmly planted, the question was what bugs you the most about customers where you work? For us, the roadies are technically our customers and Angi had a few thoughts. Certain roadies will call daily asking if they won but not specificing what they assumed they won. If you win tickets, know that they are not delivered immediately and usually show up close to the actual show. Marris further elaborated that once your email is collected, things need to be processed and this isn't an instant gratification thing. Angi added that she feels bad for people who work at an airport gate or the ticket country. However, you have to keep in mind it is not their fault your flight is late because the wing fell off of your (mumble) plane when it took off. With this covered, we moved on to the Request Line to collect more complaints. Laura is a server, she would like some pleasantries and not food orders shouted at her when she is in eye range. Diana is a teacher and really entitled parents who act like their child is the only one in the class that matters and it really irks her. Head Roadie Ferrari said driving for a ride share and having the added bonus of asking for adjustments, shoving in an extra passenger, being asked to stop places and then leaving no tip is just awful. Danny works in a garden center and wants people buying plants to know that he is working and doesn't have time for their life story. Sam teaches PE and said that kids with behavioral issues are made a point of for a reason and your child is not being picked on. Also, those same kids need to learn about deodorant and showering after a gym class. Alex is a vet tech who is astounded people ask to have things done for free or if a pet is brought in after an incident but a week has passed (someone ran over Fluffy, can you fix him a week later?) Alan is in the service industry and people with specific kitchen requests are irritating. 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.

Yesterday she admitted she was wrong, today she gets dragged for filth... Jay the Gay is having a field day today. Thank you for listening!
