Don’t Ask Me To Talk

Calling all bored ten-year-olds, do you agree that watermelon is basically mushy water? Well then, we’re the podcast-pals for you! Take a listen and you’ll learn about playground merry-go-rounds versus carousels, and you too can debate whether cheesecake is a pie (it’s not). We also talk about where we’d like to visit; Ireland, New Orleans, and the WA coast for Stacy; while Eric fancies Greece, Philadelphia, and Maryhill, Washinton (to see the Stonehenge Memorial).

Stacy and Eric start with a story about God’s influencer who may be canonized a Saint; this leads to a convo about our Confirmation names, St. Therese, and the show Evil. Apparently, Stacy was no Saint since her childhood friend started the Boo Stacy Club which Eric is going to hold over her for LIFE! The oldest recorded joke isn’t funny, and neither was Natalie Wood’s drowning. Stacy’s IFs hint at mental health issues and Eric is no “Rebel.” DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram @dontaskmetotalk Next time: Travel Bucket List

Eric is still sick (and not just in the head) which means it takes us longer than usual to say hello. Stacy and Eric discuss what they haven’t watched and what they have (Succession and Breaking Bad for Eric and Breaking Bad and bad Hallmark-esque movies for Stacy). While delving into their usual nonsense they keep noting good book titles before finally sharing ideas for their own memoirs. Hey guess what?

It’s Independence Day and that means it’s time for a grilled (boiled or microwaved) hot dog which coincides perfectly with National Grilling and Hot Dog Months. Stacy gets a little off topic while regaling Eric with the story of the great flood that happened at her house, but they eventually get around to the important topic of an ideal picnic. Eric likes his by the water, but Stacy is like, “Beach please, give me a grassy knoll in Carmel-by-the-Sea!” DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram @dontaskmetotalk Next time: Title of Our Memoir

Would you bungee jump off a bridge?? We wouldn’t but we will jump into any topic. If you want to try Eric’s shampoo, try Broo (with umlauts), if you want a blast from the past look up the Faberge Organics ad with Heather Locklear from 1984, and if you want to feel old, watch what we watch for the ads. After a detour to wish the Happy Birthday song a Happy Birthday (also are the Hill sisters the OG Weird Al?) and other nonsense, we get down to the nonsense that is songs we sing in the shower.

Before Stacy and Eric even introduce the program, they go off on an eggs-cellent tangent about their recent run-ins with birds. They highlight Audiobook Appreciation and Lemon months with stories about each (PSA: don’t listen to Jay Shetty while driving). Eric admits surfing won’t be happening even on the Summer Solstice and downward facing dog would be extra special when you bring your dog to work. They both agree Brian Wilson was a genius and feel like Cyndi Lauper is too young for a farewell tour. In discussing this week’s topic, they agree of history/quirky museums are better than art museums which can be overcrowded and hard to see. Although Stacy does love good outdoor sculpture parks like the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle and the Storm King Art Center in New York.

Stacy and Eric discuss various monthlong holidays like Men’s Health Month, and Dairy Month: the good news is Eric has finally gone to the doctor/dentist, the bad news is dairy is the nemesis he chooses to ignore unless it’s a documentary about Cheddar Man. Talk of Garfield puts Eric in a white-hot rage and leads him to confuse the show Whitechapel with a bodice ripper. They finally talk about conspiracy theories; what are they, ones of note, who perpetuates them, and which ones where proven true. Did you know about New Coke, liquor being poisoned by manufacturers during prohibition, and the E.T. game by Atari buried in a New Mexico landfill?

In an episode supposedly about games, Eric and Stacy spend a lot of time debating which candy is best, discussing yo-yos and the meaning of oopsie daisy. In wishing Tom Jones HBD, Stacy shares a must-hear comedy bit by John Mulaney called, The Salt and Pepper Diner. Gene Wilder’s birthday kicks off a discussion about kid’s movies with an edge. Their talk of games starts with Password and with a conversational roll of the di, they move two spaces to games with props, jump ahead one space to game shows that are apps, and get sent back multiple times by reminiscing about random games.

It’s June, Dads and Grads month (ok, technically it’s May when this airs but whatever). Talk of National Zoo month leads to two startling discoveries for Stacy: first about Ivan the Gorilla from Tacoma and then about Eric not seeing the movie Madagascar! They discuss pen pals, First Ladies/Doug’s Day, before wishing a HBD to Pat Boone, Kenny G, and others. Their conversation about food zeroes in on comfort food – is it seasonal?! After Stacy has a coughing fit, the episode devolves into questions about what “pipes” are in the throat. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram @dontaskmetotalk! Next time: Gaming

Stacy and Eric focus on important May celebrations like Salsa Month which naturally leads to a conversation about whether salsa is a condiment and for that matter dips! They also talk of aspargusic acid and how to keep carrots fresh before reminiscing about eating haggis and escargot and recalling the Baz Luhrmann classic, Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen). After touching upon The Dewey Cox Story and Operation Mincemeat, they eventually get to the topic at hand; culture which mostly explores the purpose of orchestra conductors (Eric’s hot take: they’re pointless).
