Casually Lit

Big Screens, Big Eats, Big Fizz?

This week on Casually Lit, the fellas minus one Dirk, dive into the world of BIG: Samsung's monstrous new TVs, Tony's insanely powerful PC build (and the epic games he's playing on it), and Jason's love affair with his 36-inch Blackstone griddle. Plus, Rohde throws a curveball with his question about marinating chicken in... seltzer? Is it genius or a recipe for disaster? Oh and lets not forget the kick off, Jason drinks the Gonster. 

Join the crew for some laughs, tech talk, and a healthy dose of skepticism as they tackle these hot topics and more! Don't forget to leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts! #CasuallyLit #GiantTVs #GamingPC #BlackstoneLife #SeltzerChicken (we're not sure about that last one...)
