The Yupsters


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.

Mikey Neilson


Mikey Neilson, of Chronicles of the Nerds, joins us on the podcast this week. The unofficial title of this episode is “Anime Speed Lines”, as we spin off the rails multiple times on many of nerd topics. The first being a recent episode of Nerd Fight, which Mikey cohosts, where a topic was brought forth of Tim Drake vs. Tommy the Green Power Ranger. Tucker discusses his cancer…but in a fun way, and we find out that he might be interested in getting a tattoo. What do you think Tucker’s first tattoo should be? We have a Casey Movie Pick this week as well as a theme song to go along with the segment. This weeks Casey movie pick is Rock of Ages, and we have a split decision of the guys that this might be too high brow for our dear Casey to go see, even though it has Tom Cruise with his shirt off. Which of course spawns Mikey to profess his love of Tom Cruise. But the real question that is on everyone’s minds is about the Zombie Apocalypse that is starting to unfold around the world. What will our boys do? Where would they go? Mikey has a plan. What’s your plan?
