Put Your Nickel In It


On the 42nd episode we start off with a bang…a very low bang. In typical fashion we go straight downhill from there. All of the guys are still “feeling the burn” from the Inaugural Turkey Bowl. Speaking of “bowl”, we jump right into the topic of college football and the hatred of the SEC. We try to discuss what each of us did for Thanksgiving, but quickly get distracted by people outside Sean’s window. Since none of us participated in Black Friday, the guys want to know how Sean’s National Record Store Day experience was. Now we’re all dreading going back to work, except Lance, who sums up his upcoming trip in the words of Vince Vaughn…”VEGAS BABY!!!” As the month of November comes to an end, it’s time to start decorating for the holidays…or in Mills’ case, not. And since it’s the holiday season, look for a new holiday themed Tiki Ten on December 1st.

Allen Bethel


A quick apology, we had some technical difficulties, but with a guest in “studio” we had to make do. Which brings me to our guest! The boys are joined by Allen Bethel of Chronicles of the Nerds Podcast and Money makes his triumphant return. Thanksgiving is coming up, which means turkey time. Lance goes over all the various ways of cooking a turkey before declaring that BBQ is better than deep-fried. Although Berg insists that we should all try Luau-style. There have even been some hints of a mysterious bacon-wrapped turkey floating around on the Internet, so we go to our bacon expert Money to expound these rumors. Sean tells of British Thanksgiving and the rest of the guys fill us in on their dinner plans and what they look forward to the most. Some pre-dinner talk comes up about the 1st Annual Turkey Bowl, hosted by the guys at Gabriel Park in Portland. After Thanksgiving comes the dreaded Black Friday, which no one apparently is going to be attending. However, Sean plans on venturing out to pick up some music during National Record Store Day. And when Cyber Monday comes around, we’ve got some cool gadgets (Memoto Camera & Boxee TV), movies (Bond 50), and books (101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die & The Hemingway Cookbook) to check out. Speaking of movies, the guys give a little look at some coming attractions like Zero Dark Thirty, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and Parker. Sean rants about Amazing Spider-Man and nearly breaks Allen. To wrap this whole 2 hour episode up, we break down the Holiday Ale Fest.

“General” Mills and Sean’s “Special Lady Friend” join us again this week. We start with our standings on Movember. Both Lance and Sean are participating, but Lance thinks Sean might have broken a rule, so Sean gives a run down to the rules. We then describe what the perfect Inception cookie would be. Leave a comment below for what the ingredients would be in your Inception cookie. Sean and Lance try to go back to their roots and start a discussion on current comics they’re reading, but are sidetracked by the lack of interest from the peanut gallery. We pull the conversation to comic book movies so they can be included. Which leads us to the elephant in the room, the acquisition of Lucasfilms by Disney. Berg, a Star Wars enthusiast gives us the break down between what is and is not Star Wars canon. While on the topic of movies, Lance gives us his rules on movie going etiquette. With Mills’ recent move to Portland, the guys cover their early holiday plans.

November is upon us here at Taco Tiki Tuesday. That means we have a slew of events happening in Portland and some upcoming movies nationwide. Of course the election is happening today, so Beg and Sean discuss where we are in the race and what the possible outcome could be. The newest Tiki Ten has just dropped, so if you haven’t checked it out, do so; it’s full of folky, autumn goodness. Which leads us in to the local concert scene. We even have a few shows from bands that are on the Tiki Ten. There are a plethora of good movies (and a few Casey Movie Picks) coming out this month, including Skyfall, Lincoln, and Rise of the Guardians. Sean is in full participation of Movember and has included a link to donate to the cause, either anonymously or on his/Taco Tiki Tuesday’s behalf. As we wrap it up, we squeeze a few cultural items on our calendar. Of course there are always great exhibits at the Portland Art Museum, including this month’s "The Body Beautiful". At the Oregon History Museum, there are two exhibits, one on the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm and another on local art. OMSI has an anthropological exhibit called "RACE: Are We So Different?" And finally the holidays are here, which means “The Worlds Largest Christmas Bazaar” is at the Expo Center on Thanksgiving weekend. And speaking of Black Friday, that also happens to be National Record Store Day, which includes a lot of limited releases that are available that day only. So check out Music Millennium, Everyday Music, Jackpot Records, and Trade Up Music in Portland, and Ranch Records in Salem. To tie it all up, Sean had a seasonal beer sampling at his house and the winner was Hibernation Ale from Great Divide Brewing Co. So fill your glass and enjoy a pleasant November.

Tiki Ten: Autumn Leaves


Fall is upon us, which means the leaves are changing and the rain has returned to the Northwest. I’ve been listening to a lot of music on these wet autumn days. The songs are folky, mellow, and a bit of horns thrown in. There’s a few local Portland bands in here that I’m excited to see live soon, Typhoon, Y La Bamba, and Jared Mees & The Grown Children and other Northwest favorites, Hey Marseilles and Terrible Buttons. So put on a pot of coffee, grab a book, light a fire in your fireplace, and put some good tunes on the hi-fi.
