In this conversation, Marilyn and Eric talk about a few topics that resonate, from losing a pet (when/if you get another and how that might look) to catios (outdoor cat spaces that provide safety) to the new sloth-themed store in Magnolia, Robot vs. Sloth, that gives back to worthwhile causes as well. Perhaps there’s a tidbit here that will be meaningful or useful to YOU.  Listen to Marilyn’s show, Love Has Many Faces, Tuesday mornings at 9am Pacific Time (on air or online) or on the Love Has Many Faces podcast.

In this episode of "Don't Ask Me to Talk," co-hosts Eric Rider and Stacy Heller kick things off with their signature upbeat banter and a shout-out to their intro music creator, Dave Nelson. Eric discusses the ups and downs of planning his trip to the UK, debating hotel choices and the reliability of online reviews, while Stacy shares updates about her ankle injury and her cats. They also touch on navigating small talk, with Eric recounting an awkward interaction with an acquaintance at a friend’s show, and Stacy offering advice on how to handle conversations about pregnancy with sensitivity in today’s social climate. For their segment Cultural Blindspots, Stacy reviews the classic film "Annie Hall" and reflects on its significance, style, notorious director, and iconic clothing (Diane Keaton) and performances. Eric talks about watching Hitchcock’s "Dial M for Murder," commenting on its plot, music, and the contained setting, as well as his quest for 3D movie experiences (perhaps a dedicated channel???). The hosts then dive into the main topic of the week, exploring which TV worlds they’d like to inhabit, from nostalgic sitcoms like "Mr. Belvedere" and "Family Ties" to modern series such as "Severance." The discussion is lighthearted, touching on the appeal and pitfalls of different fictional universes, and wraps up with a preview of next week’s topic about household debates, like pre-rinsing dishes before the dishwasher. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the show on social media and share their thoughts. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email [email protected]

In another classically tangential episode of Don’t Ask Me to Talk, Stacy sips from her trusty Owala bottle while sparking a debate on banning plastic water bottles and recycling schemes that may or may not involve mailing empty bottles to Pollywood. Meanwhile, Eric recounts his misadventures at a Nicky Glazer show—complete with a surprise Amanda Knox comedy set and losing his car in a mystery garage while “The Girlfriend” battles a bug. Stacy continues to battle her ankle injury and referees a feline feud that ends with her “grandcat” Wilson scaling her leg like a tree. The duo swaps wild bumper sticker sightings, Dear Abby zingers, and Reddit threads, then dive into their “Cultural Blindspots” segment with reviews of classic British films. Plus, Stacy’s bottled water family history and a quick stop in Flint, Michigan keep the laughs, if not the water, flowing. Tune in for witty banter, awkward encounters, and a clever take on everyday quirks! DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email [email protected]

About the Podcast:

Diasporaa was Aditya's third startup based in Vancouver, BC. It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities.

Now, Diasporaa has been resurrected in the form of a podcast focused on uncovering and sharing interesting immigrant stories from the South Asian diaspora. It is available on YouTube, all major podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc. and is also broadcast as a radio show on Alternative Talk 1150 AM and 98.9 FM HD Channel 3 on Wednesdays from 2-3pm PST.

About Aditya Mehta:

Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon.

He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.
