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.)

One more day to the weekend which means for most people (not me, I'm an alcoholic and I don't need excuses to drink before, during and after the show,) it will be time to let loose. They'll break out their cigarettes/vapes/bongs, grab their bottles of Blackened or get weird with some "party favors." However, there are some people who were so affected by those D.A.R.E. talks that they don't go off the deep end like ever. It was that subset of people for which today's Daily Discussion topic was dedicated. Angi and Marris had to ponder where exactly the release came from. I mean everyone has a vice and so we needed to explore that. Even though Marris loves whiskey, his other big go to vice is video games. For him, single player RPGs, adventure and strategy games are a way to immerse himself and let loose while destressing. This clear headed escape though means he avoids FPS like Call of Duty and Fortnite, which is a shame because this gay loves himself some Fortnite. He also does not own a headset for that reason as he has no time for trash talk (and besides, that's what our Platinum Gold Star Triple Reserve Premium Plus w/ Miles text thread is for.) Angi is the queen of vices though with her drinking, smoking and of course, phone games. She is also a problem though because she's that person who loves to dive into in-app purchases. As for myself, I love drinking (obviously,) video games and indulging in movies/shows to alleviate the stresses of everyday life. Gone are the days of glory holes in the living room door and replaced by me yelling at people while I'm playing a user created version of Uno in Fortnite. For those that don't jump into the nonsense, there are always things like transfer addiction, where they move the problematic issue into a whole new world. This is why you'll find tons of former addicts being into say triathlons because addiction is a disease but it can be channeled and fueled into productive things. Right, we've aired our addictive vices so I guess we should hear from the roadies now, eh. We kicked off with Tanya, whose vice is online shopping. Her go to places are Etsy, Amazon and Poshmark. Angi is an avid shopper as well and currently has 80 items sitting in her Amazon cart (there goes Jay the Straight's bonus.) As for Tanya, the last thing she bought was a label printer. Luckily, it seems like she doesn't have an Angi problem where she gets drunk and orders things like meat slicers and lemon trees. Mandy's vice is drumming and has been since she was 5. Since she loves it so much, she transferred that vice into a passion in the form of her band, Rockstar Mandy. She sings and plays the drums which is a total turn on for Angi, who has wanted to learn how to drum for years but you know, she was busy drinking wine and watching Project Runway. Head Roadie Bob loves himself some car shows and the vice aspect kicked in when he revealed he attends them 7 days a week. In fact, he would love to see Marris at one of them one night. Alex's vice is porn and chronic masturbation. For him, cranking the crank is a daily thing that can go as much as he can uh get it going, so to speak. As for porn genres, he is not picky as long as it is free. Obviously, this is a judgement free zone because we all love to tap the microphone (I still remember when I told Angi about militaryclassified.com.) He does draw the line though in cranking it at work (maybe) and he was definitely not getting busy while on the phone with us (which disappointed Angi immensely.)

Other Stuff from Today's Show

Work, work, work, work is not only a Rhianna anthem but also something that Marris seems to be hell bent on doing. After spending a morning indulging in the idea of vices, it only makes sense that we look at more indulgences like overworking, cooking and of course, drinking. We start with the work though because Marris seems to be absolutely buried in it. Him rolling in at 4 A.M. is barely the start of things because when the show ends, he then slides right into his promotion's director role. The inspiration for us to explore the fact that Marris works way too much involved a discussion about productivity. For him, he feels he is at his best in the afternoon, that time of day where Angi and I have both finished the show for the day and we are on the couch drinking and watching The Real Housewives of Below Deck and playing Fortnite (obviously, you know which is which in this scenario.) As for the actual respondent feedback on productivity, most people said that they are best in the morning and at their worst in the afternoon. I felt this to my core as I start to come undone by Noon and am useless by like 4 P.M. The way this was determined though was interesting as the analysis metrics came from typing mistakes, which showcased the most when people were doing any form of typing in the afternoon. The most obvious day where this is the worst is Friday afternoon because by that point, almost everyone has checked out. Again, Marris is the outlier here as he enjoys it because no one is bothering him then. Then again, iHeart always tends to be peaceful as no one ever has seemed to work here in the past three years. That said, Marris is now looking for a permanent office that he can build a bedroom in since he never seems to leave the station. This is probably why he also wins Employee of the Quarter and Angi Lucci has been overlooked for 27 years since the moment the mic is down for the day, she runs out of the building screaming.

Onto the next vice which is more of a combo in were going to discuss Tiktoking and cooking. See, cooking videos on Tiktok are more and more becoming the way to go in that celebrity chefs are finding their relevance is being eroded by the rise of reel stars. Normal people making regular to extreme dishes is now more popular than the New York Times cooking section. Millions of people tune in to these videos to see the average joe make a perfect steak or create a to die for exotic alcohol cocktail because it offers a glimpse into a normal person. Influencers are the new celebrity and that is only going to keep trending upward as the brave new world of social media becomes all that most people care about. Now for someone like Marris, he loves these videos and is always looking for new recipes. He himself loves to cook (especially grilling) and so to grow that beer belly, he needs to continue expanding his horizons/mindset. In three minutes, you can see a full made meal with ease as opposed to feeling dumb downed by a "real chef." However, instead of using it to raise their own clout, some are actually putting this new found food power toward good. Keith Lee, a food influencer from Vegas and not the AEW wrestler, uses his Instagram to go into local business and prop them up with his followers checking out the places he goes to. He started as an MMA guy, moved on to Trader Joe's reviews and now he is a restaurant savior. Apparently, even Dana White has a food blog, which clearly shows that everyone loves this nonsense a bit (too much that is, do we need 1,000,000 food influencers honestly?) Now, Marris is not one of those people but he will sometimes post videos when he's grilling up some nice chicken thighs. This is to say that all this is technically better for indulging in a vice and growing a chance to make money as opposed to say an OnlyFans. That said though, Angi would totally have gone down the OnlyFans route if it existed back in the day. She would be absolutely nasty and do things only your sick mind can dream of but she would never show face. Luckily, all her tattoos that would showcase who she is are hidden or easily concealed unlike Marris. If he got into the OnlyFans game (another vice here btw, porn,) he would be a bit screwed because of the sleeve of Ninja Turtle tattoos and then the sleeve of tribal soccer tattoos. Plus, it would make more sense if he was doing videos about the Ninja Turtles, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Sailor Moon and Samsung phone hacks.

Finally, we can't end a day that was completely wrapped around vices without looking at a little drinking right? This was brought on by roadie Stephen, who slipped Angi a note (what, like on paper?) asking for some advice on a relationship question. He's 30 years old and his girlfriend is 25. She is a bubbly, flirty type and for the most part it doesn't make him uncomfortable but her abusing the ability to do it for free drinks does. You see, she goes to the bar with him and usually gets free drinks from guys or the bartender after flirting. She then takes the drinks over and enjoys a night of free drinks with her man. It was okay at first but now he's getting a bit tired of it and he kind of wants to put an end to it. His question is would it be worth it to tell her to stop and would she get mad if he did. Marris was on board with the girlfriend off the bat, explaining that free drinks are free and if she's not doing anything, what is the real issue here? After all, guys will eventually notice that the drinks are being accompanied back with her to another guy and will obviously shut the free tab down. Though that becomes a question of, is she doing this when the boyfriend is not around as well? The thing with flirting is some people love to do it and some just aren't even trying. Marris is not a flirt himself but Angi totally is (I've seen it in action, she made a straight woman weak in the knees.) When given free drinks though, Angi will say thanks and make sure to flash the ring. As for Marris, he doesn't do it anymore after a girl got a drink and just walked away from him. Their advice essentially came down to just enjoy the ride as long as it doesn't go too far. In fact, she should push for free meals too on top of it and get the whole date for. If it becomes too much of an issue though then the subject should be approached but it seems a bit harmless.

They are headed to the World Series to face Ohio and we are rooting for our local boys. Though we could see Marris, who once played Little League, hating on them because he used to play against them back in the day but he was not the best baseball player so there's no hate there.
