Our POoRCHoices the Podcast

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty, and Banky kick of the show with a quick few minutes about how they feel about watching sporting events.  They then move into an update on the total run time of all the movies that Commando has to watch as part of his absentee punishment.  Fatty shares that he's just starting to get into the series Crystal Lake and has concerns over the amount of filler in the show.  This spawns a conversation on right-sizing shows to fit a story, not fit a pre-determined number of episodes.   They also note this for book series as Fatty shares his experience so far with the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Banky finds a local taco eating challenge he thinks both he and Fatty should go for as it seems to be an attainable record.  Sarcastro has some questions about the Arby's line up of cheesesteaks and it turns out Corporal is the one who can answer them and that turns into an eating challenge all of its own. Fatty gives and update on how his golf cart Poker run at the cabin went as well as some of the events that he didn't remember from the after party. Banky discusses a couple of job opportunities outside of the podcast that were proposed to him, both involving being on television and his poor choice in chugging 80 ounces of coffee after not having it for months.
