Don’t Ask Me To Talk

September 15th is International Dot Day which is essentially about making your mark in the world even if you just start with a dot. Stacy and Eric discuss whether grilled cheese and cheese toast are the same thing (tune in to see where they land) before moving on to movies they can happily watch on repeat. Their lists are quite different which makes for an interesting selection. Vance Dingfelder of Dingfelder’s Delicatessen and Nourish Catering talks about his bagel schmears including the one named after Stacy, the Ah-live Stacy Olive Schmear.

Just in time for back-to-school it’s National School Picture Day; paired with Star Trek Day and Wiz Khalifa’s birthday and you have the perfect late summer day or September 8. Stacy and Eric have a conversation about popular expressions or idioms. Quickly there’s a snowball effect as they both jump on the bandwagon and spill the beans on their personal favorites. Because every cloud has a silver lining, rather than kill two birds with one stone, Eric feeds two birds with one scone which breaks the ice so show sponsor Vance Dingfelder of Dingfelder’s Delicatessen and Nourish Catering can talk about chocolate fountains. The group discusses the virtues of a dessert-first mentality and what else you can dip in warm Valrhona dark chocolate.

It’s a big day for celebrating; Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, White Wine Day, IPA Day and a lot of birthdays worth celebrating. This leads Stacy and Eric to search who shares their birthdays. Next, they explore the topic of “artists.” Exploring questions such as, what makes an artist notable or “textbook-worthy over time?” What makes an artist “good?” What’s the impact of social media on today’s artists, and what makes us connect with certain artists? It’s an interesting conversation about art appreciation.

Stacy and Eric agree chili dogs in summer seem wrong, chocolate milk seems right, soccer seems like a lot of work, and Buffalo Soldiers seemed like good guys. Their similarities end there this week when talking about video games, arcade, classic consoles and ones available as apps. While Eric spent free time as a preteen trying to get five bucks from his dad to blow at the arcade, Stacy missed out completely only playing occasionally. They chat about how addictive games can be and share what they play now; ironically Stacy now plays way more games than Eric. Since Vance Dingfelder of Dingfelder’s and Nourish Catering is playing real life Deli Dash, Stacy and Eric sub for Vance and talk about what’s good from Dingfelder’s and Nourish (spoiler: ALL of it).
