The Common Tater

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.
