A very special episode today!  Another great episode from quarantine reviewing the At Home Taco bar with the one, the only, Bill Oakley!  Up front, we address the unfortunate news regarding some of Taco Bell’s politics that we absolutely do not support.  This episode was recorded weeks ago before news broke, but we wanted to bring our fans this delightful, in depth and silly episode while still showing full support for the protesters fighting for Black Lives Matter.  Silver lining, we all got to have fresh double decker tacos from home!  If you don't already, do yourself a favor and follow Bill @thatbilloakley!  Live shameless.

Do we have an episode for you!  Glenn Stott came to our virtual Taco Bell to try two delicious items he had never experienced!  We dive into the logistics of incorporating Taco Bell into marriage proposals, preparation to elevate your Bell experience, and Glenn's childhood history of wholesome family petty crime.  Glenn is a wonderfully funny human, and Fangoria's PORNO is a super funny horror movie!

Comedian Barry Whitewater came to our figurative Taco Bell table with a hard truth, he doesn't like Taco Bell.  Admitting that he only remembers kind of liking the Crunchwrap, we went on a mission to show him solid Taco Bell options.  He also made us laugh a lot, this was a fun one!  Follow Barry Whitewater on Facebook for info on post-pandemic shows and very funny one liners!

We're back, and here for all the Taco Bell promotional items you have.  We tried the new Doritos taco and the classic Quesarito with a shredded chicken twist.  It was a blast!  And we hope you join us for more in the near future.

As Demolition Man predicted, even at the end of the world, there will always be... Taco Bell.  We're Back!  And bringing that sweet, spicy, cheesy flavor that your ears crave!  Dave "Texas Dave" Riddile stopped by our studios, on the internet, from Seattle to discuss the Triplelupa and the greatest tease Taco Bell ever put on shelves, Verde sauce in a bottle.  The people want it in a packet!  It's different!

Talko Bell Season 2 Premiere with Dave Riddile!!

In the episode our respective Mom's are most proud of, we received communication from Taco Bell Corporate!  We were sent a box overnight of mystery products that they wanted us to try on the air!  We start our episode with the fantastic new Toasted Cheddar Chalupa, and then dive right into the unboxing/review of the mystery product (well, mystery if you didn't see our Instagram/Facebook Live unboxing).  As far as we can tell, we were the first to officially review this product, which will be available nationwide upon the release of this episode!

Official Taco Bell new product review! Seriously, from Taco Bell!

When you meet a person who puts forth a lofty goal and sees it through, you have met someone with true character.  Heath has been eating Taco Bell every day at least once a day, many times 3 meals a day, for 271 days now and counting!  We have so many questions!  Today, he showed us the glory of the Shredded Chicken Chalupa and shone light on to a forgotten favorite, the spicy potato taco.  Look up conviction in the dictionary and a picture of Heath from @heatheatstacobelleveryday will take up the whole page.  Enjoy!

Get ready for some hot spicy FOMO, because today we got to interview Tarun Sinha of @tacobellsommelier on his invite and visit to the Taco Bell Hotel in Palm Springs, CA!  Taco Bell's media team loved Tarun's instagram @tacobellsommelier so much that they put him and his wife up in The Bell and included him in a ton of festivities!  Get ready for some great behind the scenes insight, including their take on Chilaquiles, Fish Tacos, and branded swag at every turn.  Recorded at our home bar Grotta Local!

Taco Bell Hotel Recap with @tacobellsommelier!

Jason Guynes, confirmed Mountain Dew Baja Blast Enthusiast, stopped on by our taco digs today all the way from Dallas!...over the phone that is.  One of our earliest guest requests, Jason brought us some out of market test items and some twists on Baja Blast classics you can get in your own hometown Taco Bell!  So get your Captain Morgan rum ready, because we tried traditional fountain Baja Blast with smuggled rum nips, the Baja Blast freeze with rice wine Vodka, and Jason tried the Cherry Sunset Freeze spiked at home with rum!  It's a blasted, boozy, bodacious episode dropping in on your earbuds!!!  MOUNTAIN DEW!!!!!!  (author may or may not have consumed Mountain Dew while typing)

Today, we have the wonderful stand-up comic, actress and director Kendra Cunningham!  Kendra was kind enough to stop by and enjoy some Nacho Fries Bell Grande with us after performing at the Nantucket comedy festival and right before her set at the Gotham Comedy Club.  We somehow get to plugging other prestige podcasts and surprise her with her first Chalupa experience!  Follow Kendra at @theotherkendra and go to KendraCunningham.com to check out her upcoming appearances and films!

Today, Talko Bell wants to promote Natalie's live show NATE which on August 9th 2019 has a live taping in Los Angeles and the show is presented by Amy Poehler!  Everyone go to www.theblacklistnyc.com/nateshow and see this amazing comedic adventure!  In this episode, which was recorded prior to our main interview, we discuss Coke vs. Pepsi, the fact that Natalie pulled Chad onstage to do improv and ended up whipping him with a bullwhip while he was on all fours, and how a partially scripted/partially improvised show evolves creatively.  It was amazing to hear her open up about the creative process!

Talko Bell goes to the Theater: Natalie Palamides talks Nate and Laid!

Its a spicy, sloppy one today.  Actor, singer, songwriter and spice lover Tara Tisch graced us with her presence to try the brand new Carolina Reaper Ranch Burrito!  We go in depth on the MANY dangers of incorporating food into sexy time and the importance of character actors on the sidelines that hold together all of your favorite movies.  We went full vegetarian today subbing black beans for Taco Bell's 86% meat base and for classic with a twist, we added Pico De Gallo to the classic Tostada.  Follow Tara at tarathetisch on Instagram and listen for her in the Anime series' Emma and Aria!

This week, we deliver you a hot fresh Taco Tuesday treat directly from the Shire!  New Hampshire, that is.  We talk with Krutch himself about fast food life in New England, how Taco Bell > Cooking, and we break down the documentary from the future that is Demolition Man!  The Chipotle Chicken Griller had surprises for all and for classic with a twist, we added some guac to the wonderful Doritos Locos Taco.  And Talko Bell family, help us spread the word, subscribe and leave a review!

Talko Bell From The Shire with Ryan Crutchfield!

Oh boy, another great Taco Tuesday episode for anyone who enjoys trashy nachos!  Heather McKinney from the incomparable podcast Sinisterhood came by to face her greatest fear: The Doritos Locos taco.  She shared many a story including how she came to avoid this delicious taco, childhood Taco Bell memories, 7/11 nacho building etiquette, Dallas comedy scene mishaps, and she reminds us that everyone is just looking for a hard chip with enough cheese to get the job done!  Probably still talking about nachos?

Talko Bell with Heather McKinney of Sinisterhood!

Today, we have one of the greats!  Quite possibly the only guest on our show with a Peabody award, unless someone isn't telling us something.  Bill Oakley, the Gordon Ramsey of fast food came on our show all the way from Oregon to sample the Chicken Power Menu Burrito and for Classic with a twist we replicate the Baja Chalupa from the year 2000.  We discuss conspiracy theories surrounding why chain restaurants don't have super spicy hot sauce and Taco Bell timeliness while eating.  This is seriously an amazing episode!

Talko Bell with Bill Oakley of The Simpsons!

Taco Bell. The one, the only, the best of all the major fast food chains. The world is asking, and we are answering: Which is the best tasting hot sauce? How do I properly sauce my burrito? And which of Taco Bell's new offerings are great and which are the greatest? We invite experts, enthusiasts, comedians, and celebrities to lunch where we talk about life, tacos, and everything in between. Each week Alex Lepe and Chad Kean, a couple of photo/video industry vets, bring you this improv comedy podcast about Taco Bell, movies, technology, and beer!
