Taco 🌮 Tuesday Episode 12 — "Blinded By Love"

Host: Margie B (@B4Margie), with cohosts Woof (@WoofArmyXX) and Ryan (@RyanJ8812) · Tue, 11 Aug 2026 · 2:04:51 · ~6 active voices

TL;DR

• Episode 12 ran the usual house format: loose banter, a run of "Taco Tuesday" songs, a long trivia block (anatomy → geography → movies), then a relationship "red flags" segment tied to the "Blinded by Love" theme.
• The playlist went off-script — Woof hadn't pre-listened to a couple of the tracks, and one hard-turned into gangster rap with zero taco content. Everyone leaned into it.
• Margie opened with a public-service announcement about Taco Bell lettuce and a guacamole recall before diving into trivia.
• The relationship segment got genuinely reflective: Uncle Corvus shared a candid divorce/accountability story, and Meow and Cadarn added their own takes on toxic patterns and hoping people will change.
• Running bits carried the night: snack-sharing ethics, "moving right along," Uncle Corvus's war with the letter R, and an epic cheeseburger monologue.
• Announcements: follow-up spaces with Margie & Woof (tomorrow, "gut feeling or bubble guts"), plus a custom outro recap song that named the hosts by name.

Highlights

[1:44] The cold open sets the deadpan tone. Nobody can hear anybody, "no one" is both a person and a headcount, and the crew detours into whether scrapple beats cat. Woof: "I think I'd rather eat cat."

[14:42] A song mutates mid-play. After a track sped up into something unrecognizable, Woof landed on "Holy hell, that one got weird," which cued Margie's fully committed college story — the 151-proof Jamaican rum coquito, her mother taste-testing until "Bugs Bunny was on the top of the ceiling" [15:08].

[17:43]–[19:19] The rap that forgot it was Taco Tuesday. Woof queued a two-minute track sight-unseen and got a full-on gangster cut with, generously, one line about sriracha. His post-mortem — "I don't know why that one was called Taco Tuesday" — was the honest review. Margie's verdict: it was "twerkable and workable," so it stays.

[21:56] The PSA. Before trivia, Margie warned the room off Taco Bell lettuce and a guacamole recall (Target/Walmart/Whole Foods): "If you find your stomach rumbling, it's not because you like your partner, it's because you're gonna have the Hershey squirts."

[27:03] Trivia's genuine surprise. The room learned the cornea is the only part of the body with no blood supply — a fact Margie admitted she didn't know either. The whole block ran on Meow quietly feeding Woof answers from behind his desk (kneecap, sciatic nerve, trachea, cerebellum), which Woof cheerfully copped to.

[1:12:27] Uncle Corvus goes deep. Asked whether he ignores his partner's red flags, Uncle Corvus offered the night's most sincere beat: a divorce he framed as his own accountability — giving friends advice to leave situations he was living in himself, pretending to be someone he wasn't, and the long road to getting out. Margie, Cadarn, and Meow all built on it with their own red-flag histories.

[1:24:19] Comic whiplash. Right after the vulnerable stretch, Uncle Corvus described his younger-days "double bagger" precautions in vivid detail, and Margie capped it with "I like a man that wears glasses."

[1:34:17] What could you talk about for hours? Uncle Corvus's answer — "water, coffee, rescuing children, and Jesus" — landed cleanly, and Ryan's "crypto, sports, science" kept it moving.

[1:56:52] The cheeseburger monologue. Uncle Corvus turned snack-sharing into a philosophy: if you decline the offer and then reach for his food, "we're gonna have big problems." He salivated his way through a full accounting of a cheeseburger he'd been craving since 2 p.m. and had to go eat something.

[2:01:47] Custom outro. The show closed on a bespoke "Blinded by Love" recap song that name-checked Margie and Ryan and delivered the theme back straight: "the heart can be soft without being blind."

Who said what

• Margie B (host) — ran the trivia, delivered the recall PSA, and kept the innuendo and the "circus/clown" running bits airborne.
• Woof (cohost, @WoofArmyXX)^* — DJ'd the songs (including the ones he hadn't screened), handled the gym/booty banter, and played trivia with Meow quietly coaching from the next desk.
• Ryan (cohost, @RyanJ8812)^* — read out the arrivals, carried a chunk of the trivia, and offered the "I debate, then I laugh" argument style.
• Uncle Corvus (@unclecorvus)^* — the night's biggest range: spider and beard tangents, a candid divorce/authenticity story, and the cheeseburger sermon.
• Meow (@MeowMetaX)^* — Woof's partner and trivia lifeline; shared honest red-flag history from a past relationship.
• Cadarn (@RendCadarn)^* — the reflective voice on toxic dynamics and why people downplay red flags, with a caged-bird metaphor at [1:33:35].

Worth a full listen

• [1:12:27]–[1:18:35] — Uncle Corvus's authenticity/divorce reflection and the way Margie, Cadarn, and Meow build on it. The summary can't carry the shift from joke-a-minute to genuinely open.
• [14:42]–[19:19] — the playlist going rogue, in real time, with the hosts reacting live. Best experienced, not paraphrased.
• [1:55:10]–[1:56:52] — the snack-sharing debate escalating into a full cheeseburger monologue. Delivery is the whole joke.
