Well, Thursday has arrived once more and with a big event coming up tomorrow, you would think all is right in the world. However, you're listening to this show so you should know that is never going to be the case so let's break out the next round of Shenanigansgate as Angi attacked Marris this morning over his attempt to screw her. Now, I could see why your mind would land in the gutter hearing that (and more so if you listened to the Daily Discussion Topic because that felt like doing a 3 day bender of rails and booze) but you need to get your head right. The alleged screw job is coming via the iHeart Fantasy Football League which Marris is the commissioner of and Angi has made to the Super Bowl of for the last two years. The thing is, both of those years, Angi lost to a co-worker named Andrew both times but a change of career made it seem that she would be a lock this year. Andrew up and quit iHeart and so he technically is no longer an employee which means he shouldn't be playing this year. However, commissioner Marris has decided that Andrew needs to play this year since he is the reigning champ and needs to defend his throne. That's right, the guy who doesn't work at the company is playing in the company league and Angi is furious. While screaming that all this is against the rules, Marris told Angi that he is the one who creates the rules and therefore, she has no say so. Marris runs his league like a dictatorship so it's get in line or get out. Angi, enraged at the ruling about the rules, threatened not to play but then changed her mind and will play. Obviously, the issue here is Angi does not want Andrew to beat her again for a third year in a row (and seeing as she loses Employee of the Quarter all the time, she should be used to taking L's.) Angi then offered another scenario, what if Jay the Straight wanted in even though he doesn't work at iHeart. Marris explained that if they were short players, he would be allowed a spot but spoiler alert: they're not. Angi tried to argue that he could be the champ at his new job (which could be literally anywhere as iHeart pays the staff pennies.) She also didn't understand the need for a legacy when he no longer works there so why bother upholding his achievements? Marris explained that if he were to quit (let's face it, HR firing him is more likely,) he too would want to be able to defend if he was champion. Even more frustrating for Angi was the acknowledgement that if Andrew won again, he would be back the following year to fight once more. She argued that not working at iHeart meant you no longer get the perks (pizza parties, low pay) like the station BBQ. Marris added though that he's seen more randos at those events than people who quit and came back. With that in mind, the decision is made and Andrew stays but Angi is planning on overthrowing Marris at some point.
