For the first time since 2019, we held a live Peltoncast last Friday at Good Times Bad Bar in Queen Anne. Due to a podcaster error, only the first two segments and the start of the third were taped, but you can listen to Talkin’ Taco Time with First Taco Timers, Let’s Remember Some Drafts with the legendary Jake One and thoughts from Mike-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on the QBs in this year’s NFL Draft.
Friday’s Peltoncast Live at Good Times Bad Bar also marked the return of Talkin’ Taco Time Live. With fourth co-host Randy Cote unable to join us, we decided to play Taco Time Concierge for a couple of First Taco Timers who tried the crisp burritos donated by Taco Time Northwest and gave us their reviews.
