# Taco 🌮 Tuesday Episode 13: "Blinded by Love"

**Host:** Margie B (@B4Margie) · **Co-hosts:** Woof (@WoofArmyXX), Ryan (@RyanJ8812) · **Tue, 18 Aug 2026** · 1:49:27 · ~5 active voices

## TL;DR
- A low-stakes, high-banter Taco Tuesday: Woof (@WoofArmyXX)\* spun a few Spanish-language love songs to open, then Margie ran a marathon fast-food/movie trivia block, then pivoted to "Blinded by Love" relationship questions.
- Ryan (@RyanJ8812)\* was the trivia MVP — Big Mac, Arby's, Subway, Ray Liotta, Dr Pepper, and a clutch "1939" for the first televised baseball game.
- Cadarn (@RendCadarn)\* got repeatedly (and affectionately) accused of Googling answers, especially after nailing that a Twinkie is 68% air.
- A genuine warm moment: both Woof ("learn to walk again") and Ryan ("quitting drugs and turning my life around") named their real proudest accomplishments.
- Uncle Corvus (@unclecorvus)\* popped in for a quick hot-flash cameo and left on a running "dots, not feathers" bit.
- Housekeeping: Margie plugged tomorrow's 8pm EST "We Are Done Second Guessing" Space with the same co-hosts.

## Highlights

**[5:05] The leaking-AC saga.** Margie explained her mystery bedroom water turned out to be a leaking third-floor AC unit, which she troubleshooted from the manual, then tilted, then nearly fell off while towel-stuffing the window — clipping her temple in the process. The medical follow-up: a pulled back muscle and a backside that "feels like somebody spanked it," which Ryan diagnosed as sciatica over her objections.

**[7:56] Woof's love-song sets.** Woof cued up a run of Spanish-language romance tracks to fit the "Blinded by Love" theme, drawing a "made me kind of want to eat tacos" review from Margie at [17:14].

**[19:17] Trivia opens strong.** Ryan immediately banked the Big Mac (1968), then rolled through Arby's ("we have the meats"), Subway, Field of Dreams' Ray Liotta, and Dr Pepper as the oldest US soft drink.

**[21:57] "Somebody needs a brain."** Margie's hint for Pizza Hut's birthplace was a cryptic "somebody needs a brain" — Wizard of Oz → brain → Dorothy → Kansas. Woof's protest ("How is a hint hint Kansas?") was fair, but Cadarn quietly got it.

**[33:41] The great ice-cream-egg standoff.** Told eggs were a main ice cream ingredient, Woof "put my one good foot down" and called BS. Margie held her ground with a lengthy egg-yolk-vs-egg-whites, store-bought-vs-real defense. It stayed friendly; nobody conceded.

**[36:26] 68% air.** On what percentage of a Twinkie is air, Cadarn guessed "six... eight" and landed the exact 68%, prompting Ryan's very reasonable "why wouldn't they just round that shit up to 70%?" and another round of playful cheating accusations.

**[1:14:27] The sincere stretch.** Asked for their greatest accomplishment, Woof said "learn to walk again" and Ryan said finishing university, then "quitting drugs and turning my life around." Margie, who has her own walking-recovery story, praised Ryan for owning it out loud: "quitting the drugs is part of the battle, but owning it is more of the battle."

**[1:17:27] Uncle Corvus cameo.** Uncle Corvus dropped in for a "hot flash in the pan," reported the girls in the audience were cracking up at the trivia, christened his alternate name "Eduardo Carruccio," and bounced with "peace, love among beans."

## Who said what

- **Margie B (host, @B4Margie):** Ran the whole show — trivia quizmaster, relationship-question MC, and chief dispenser of chancleta threats and mock discipline. Warm, chatty, and the source of most tangents.
- **Woof (@WoofArmyXX)\*:** Music curator and co-host, deadpan foil to Margie, defender of the anti-egg ice cream position, and steady trivia contributor (almonds, KFC, saffron, Baltimore Colts).
- **Ryan (@RyanJ8812)\*:** Trivia standout and the more grounded co-host; delivered the show's most sincere moment about turning his life around.
- **Cadarn (@RendCadarn)\*:** Good-sport speaker perpetually (and jokingly) accused of Googling; landed Peking duck, the Twinkie percentage, and mousse.
- **Uncle Corvus (@unclecorvus)\*:** Brief drive-by cameo bringing energy and the "dots, not feathers" running gag.
- **Meow** (Woof's wife, offline behind him): The invisible lifeline — fed Woof correct answers on Fabri College, Kirk's middle name, and the *Pretty Woman* Lotus.

## Worth a full listen

- **[33:41]–[37:20]** — The ice-cream-egg debate straight into the Twinkie-air question. It's the room's chemistry at its best: a stubborn factual standoff that never sours, capped by Cadarn's improbable 68%.
- **[1:14:27]–[1:15:30]** — The one stretch where the banter drops and the accomplishments answers turn genuinely heartfelt; the summary can't carry the tone.
- **[1:17:27]–[1:18:20]** — Uncle Corvus's whole 50-second cameo, best heard than paraphrased.
