Episode 445: What We Are Talking When We Talk Taco Tuesday

Show Notes Episode 445: “What We’re Talking When We’re Talking Taco Tuesday” This week Host Dave Bledsoe passes out face down in a Big Beef Burrito Supreme and is kicked out of Taco Bell. (Again) On the show this week talk tacos, specifically we are talking out the origins of Taco Tuesday! (Who doesn’t love tacos, right?) Along the way we discover that Dave probably missed out on his once chance for a meaningful relationship but not understanding the fundamental nature of “cruising”. Then we dive right into the history of food wrapped in tortillas, going all the way to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica! We trace the tasty treats journey from south of the border to the boardroom of megacorporations as they squabble over who owned the rights to use the phrase “taco tuesday” (Come to find out, the legal owner is a bar in New Jersey!) Then we take the time to examine the beauty of the taco and how it can heal us as a nation. Our Sponsor this week is the return Tacopocalypse It’s HERE!  We open the show with a very smart Chihuahua and close with Lucky Diaz singing the national anthem of Taco Tuesday!
