# TACO 🌮 TUESDAY: Margie B's Birthday Edition

Host: Margie B (@MargieAponte2) with cohosts Woof (@WoofArmyXX) and Ryan (@RyanJ8812) · Tue 13 Oct 2026 · 2:00:52 · ~9 voices on stage

## TL;DR
- Margie B turned 42 and spent most of the Space insisting the party wasn't about her — "every day we wake up is a happy birthday," repeated roughly every four minutes.
- Woof debuted three custom songs written for the occasion: a Bronx-born hype track, a sincere ballad, and a closer.
- Money Miller pulled up — same birthday, same year as Margie ("brother from another mother") — and dropped a 4-5-in-the-morning party track with birds on beat.
- Margie shared the serious stuff: losing her parents and brother, a rough year of health scares, and her intent to pay back everyone in Web3 who quietly helped her through it.
- The back half turned into birthday trivia and riddles, where Woof answered "a cease and desist" for the traditional 50th-birthday gift and the room collectively failed to find a stamp.
- Drop-ins from StarSeed Witch, El Gato Satoshi, Meow, Stew and Suburban Crypto (calling in from the car, in Frankie-the-dachshund news).

## Highlights

**[1:31] — The nervous stomach.** Margie opened by admitting she'd blamed a day of jitters on individually wrapped Apple Jacks before realizing the real cause: people were about to be nice to her. She talked about growing up without birthdays or Christmas presents on one side of her family, and finding the opposite in Web3: "I'm that person to want to be the biggest cheerleader... I'm not good at receiving it, but I have to get used to it."

**[9:31] — "Bronx Born."** Woof's first custom track, an old-school birthday banger with lines about coffee, no filter, and 42 candles — "somebody check her hair." Margie's response was to immediately warn the room that blowing out candles spreads bacteria across the icing, which set up a running bit for the rest of the night about whether Woof is allowed to lick the cake.

**[14:48] — The serious song.** The second track dropped the jokes entirely: "Don't count all the years gone by, count the moments that made you fly." It landed; Margie came back quiet.

**[20:01] — The real story.** Margie laid out the last year straight: a pacemaker conversation after her 41st birthday, nine weeks without being allowed to speak, and friends sending lunch money and copay money while she felt guilty about all of it. Her plan is to repay every one of them — not out of obligation, but so they can pay it forward.

**[26:26] — Birthday twins.** Money Miller arrived to a "my sister from a different mister," confirming same day, same month, same year. At [28:04] he spun up a track about a crew of degenerates still going at 4 a.m., which ends with actual birds chirping in time — "yo, the birds actually count on beat."

**[33:24] — Tuesday the 13th.** Margie explained the Puerto Rican superstition she grew up under: her birth certificate says Tuesday even though she was born on a Saturday at 10:13 a.m., and in the culture a Tuesday the 13th arrival means don't marry, don't board a boat, hold that baby in. She noted Martes traces back to the Roman god of blood and war, then clarified: "Margie B is not a violent person. I have no bodies hidden in my basement. Because I do not have a basement."

**[47:29] — October facts, dubiously sourced.** October from *octo*; more US presidents born in October than any other month; the first party balloons were animal intestines; and a study claiming October babies have lower cardiovascular risk, which Margie rejected on the spot as "a lie, because I'm living it."

**[53:16] — Trivia, and Woof's commitment to the wrong answer.** August for most common birth month (StarSeed Witch, on the second try), Elvis for January 8th, Las Vegas for the biggest cake. Woof answered a Chinese-zodiac question with "koala" and defended it — "a koala is just a furry dragon" — and guessed 1602 for the publication year of "Happy Birthday to You," which Margie had already framed as "around the time Woofy was born."

**[1:09:00] — Riddles.** Nothing, a library, darkness, a secret, the match, footprints, a hole in the barrel ("that was dumb," per Ryan, who got it), tulips, dough→money, and a potato with lots of eyes. Woof's answer to "what question can you never say yes to" was "syphilis," which was not it, and Margie's own answer ("Are you asleep?") she immediately called bull crap.

**[1:21:24] — Suburban Crypto, calling from the road.** He came up only to wish Margie happy birthday and to get StarSeed Witch to say a certain line from a famously bad movie in her Australian accent. At [1:23:30] he mentioned the welding class that produced a miniature dachshund made from a garage door spring and some hammers — an ode to Frankie — which prompted Margie into a riff on estate-sale furniture and why nobody should discount their own hobby.

**[1:49:31] — The single-person boat.** After roughly five repetitions of "you don't see a single person on the boat," Ryan cracked it: "Is it because they're all married?" Margie: "Yes, everybody's married. Everybody is married. I'm leaving now."

## Who said what

- **Margie B** — birthday girl and host; ran the whole thing as a group celebration, delivered the heartfelt sections, the October facts, and every trivia question and riddle.
- **Woof** — cohost, resident songwriter, and the night's most confidently incorrect contestant; three original tracks and an unbroken streak of joke answers.
- **Ryan** — cohost, roll-call duty twice over, and the trivia room's actual closer (Elvis, Las Vegas, dragon, the barrel, tulips, the married boat).
- **Money Miller** — birthday twin, same day and year; dropped a party track and shouted the room out before heading off.
- **Meow** — sang Margie a quick happy birthday and reported 84 and sunny, with a gentle reminder to get some sun on your face.
- **StarSeed Witch** — sang, called the room moths to Margie's flame, and quietly won several of the hardest trivia and riddle rounds (August, 1893, purity, the heart that doesn't beat).
- **El Gato Satoshi** — newer to the ecosystem, described by others as "all over the place like a cat"; took root beer and the spoon riddle.
- **Stew** — came by with a "felicidades, prima" and stuck around for trivia.
- **Suburban Crypto** — drive-by birthday wish, dachshund sculpture update, and one request for an Australian accent to say a line from a terrible movie.

## Worth a full listen

- **[20:01] – [25:51]** — Margie's unbroken, unscripted stretch on losing her family, the past year of health problems, and why she keeps score of who helped her. The summary flattens it; the delivery doesn't.
- **[1:07:00] – [1:09:00]** — The "what year was Happy Birthday published" round, played entirely as higher/lower, with Woof guessing 1984 for reasons that remain unclear.
- **[1:47:30] – [1:50:11]** — The married-boat riddle and its many, many repetitions, ending in Ryan's deadpan save and Margie threatening to leave her own party.
