The Common Tater: Recent Episodes
RJ Terrado
Join The Common Tater, RJ, as he expresses his opinions on pop culture and current events. Being very inexperienced and having no qualifications (your average potato, if you will) on any subject matter, he shares his stories and research from Google anyways. Occasionally bringing on friends and family members, they encourage everyone to sit down and have a conversation, preferably over a meal, with each other. Because, just like potatoes, opinions are never identical.
Is it possible to start a podcast on your own? Yes, it is.

During this pandemic, a lot of people have gone to video games and online gaming as a way to pass time. It has become a way to be apart but still play together. With so many games offering multiplayer modes and many ways to play with your friends, can social distancing really be that bed? I mean it could be if you have never played a game before and everyone who is playing it is better than you and you don't know who they are.
In today's episode, I review my purchase of a Nintendo Switch Lite as well as play the popular game Fortnite for the very first time.

One way shows become popular is not by what critics say, but by the memes that everyone makes, shares, and see all throughout social media. Netflix's The Tiger King has fallen into the hands of meme creators as the shows popularity has grown since it first came out in March, 2020. But unlike many of you, I have not seen it. Until now.
In today's episode, I watch and react to the first episode of the show.

I'm pretty sure everyone tries to find the easiest way to do something. That can be using an everyday item a different way or learning how to cut an onion without crying. These "hacks" that everyone discovers aim to try to simplify your life. But what can be more simpler than cooking with only three ingredients?
In today's episode, I take you into my kitchen to try out three 3-ingredient recipes from Tasty. Don't worry, not cooking experience required. They should be simple, right?

Q&A, but I have no one to give me Qs so I find some online. With over 27 million members on the subreddit, clearly all the hard hitting questions will be asked. But more importantly, the hard hitting questions are free to answer.
In today's episode, I read and react to those answering questions on this infamous subreddit, giving my own answers along the way.

With the only stores being open are "Essential Businesses", there are a lot more bad and stupid customers gathering together. No, they're not bad for doing their shopping. They're bad for how they're treating Essential Workers.
In today's episode, I talk about my experiences with bad customers and stupid customers. Working in retail and the food industry, there are quite a few. Either you have dealt with one, seen one, or been one, let's all just get what we need to get and get out.
