Don’t Ask Me To Talk

DAMTT: Best Movie Line Stacy and Eric kick off the episode discussing which band they'd want to perform at their next birthday. Eric prefers a meltdown, while Stacy chooses Billy Joel. They touch on fireworks, Gertie being a stinker, Stacy’s ankle pain, and Eric’s diagnosis of her ankle (rude!) and his Cultural Blindspot, Vertigo. The conversation shifts to Hitchcock films, Jimmy Stewart, Kim Nova...

DAMTT: 16 Personalities? Stacy and Eric return with lively, yet relatable tangents. This time, they chatted about lake life including wasp troubles on Stacy’s veranda, and *The Great Jam Sandwich*, which Eric somehow hasn’t read. Meanwhile, as a jack of all trades and master of none, Eric juggles fixing a leaky pipe, dealing with a dead rat, and installing a futuristic dishwasher that may be energ...

DAMTT: Social Media Feed We missed a week, but we have a back-catalog to enjoy. On his mini vacay, Eric got a sunburn and memories of the “mass” of people listening to country music at full volume. Stacy shared the anniversary song she commissioned Chaz Coats-Butcher to write, a catchy (if not generic) tune called “Love Letter” which reminded Eric of submitting a poem called “Spacehead” when he wa...

DAMTT: Manners Stacy botches the intro, but Eric shares his back-to-back gigs and bloody guitar incident before Stacy interrupts with an inane "cumcumber" cocktail story. They recover and the payoff is $3.61. Anniversary gift ideas for Stacy’s hubby are discussed. In Cultural Blindspots, Eric recommends  Poker Face . Find out what’s rude when they discuss manners. Follow DAMTT on Facebook and Inst...

DAMTT: Feeling Lucky! Stacy and Eric are back, this time discussing Memorial Day, “merch,” and bumper stickers featuring stick figures in questionable poses. Dear Crabby is about engagement gifts; should you engage with them or ditch the Ninja Creami? In Cultural Blindspot news, Eric rewatched  Month Python and The Holy Grail  and continued his Star Wars side quest by watching (the pre-CGI spoiled...

DAMTT: Veggie Tales Co-hosts, Eric Reidar, and Stacy “I’m the other one” Heller kick off the show with a sponsorship pitch to Planters which ends in nutty controversy. After an update regarding his oatmeal consumption, Eric shares that his band,  Battersea  is finally selling merch which obviously segues into talk of Wimpy and other Popeye characters (did you know Bluto and Brutus are the same per...

DAMTT: SURPRISE! The heated debate continues, Stacy and Eric are still arguing about pizza topics from last episode’s topic. Soon talk of Mother’s Day, leaving reviews for restaurants, and “Ass” Crabby distracts the co-hosts. Eric finished  OITNB  and went on the hunt for Sean Connery’s accent in his Cultural Blindspot segment while Stacy’s blind spot almost got her hit with a foul ball! They are...

DAMTT: Pizza Toppings The bridal shower Stacy hosted provided lots of fodder for the show this week; she thought her advice for the bride and groom was inspired, but Eric saw her advice and raised her wiper fluid! While Stacy finished watching  White Collar , Eric continued to enjoy  OITNB  with Tacoma native Vicci Martinez especially now that they’ve begun doing a radio show with advice segment (...

DAMTT: Obsolete in 20 Years? Eric clears the air but steps into it almost as quickly which leads to a conversation about evolving language, new definitions and pronunciation (toe-may-toe or toe-mah-toe?). May the 4th be with you  and  Andor which is apparently a great show. Eric checks another item from his Cultural Blindspot list and Stacy continues to marvel at Matt Bomer. There’s much to explai...

DAMTT: How Our Parents Met Ever heard of the Memorial Day Owl? There’s a reason the Easter Bunny works although it’s not because it makes sense. And can you be too old for a jellybean trail? Dear Crabby has thoughts on the trails kids leave during the summer, but that’s Flagstaff for ya! A real-life conclave is set to begin after the sad passing of Pope Francis, but it’s OITNB that got Eric in his...

DAMTT: Songs That Evoke Memories Welp. you can add car window repairman to Eric’s resume after his trip to Vegas. He also checks off seeing the B52s from his Cultural Blindspot bucket list. Meanwhile Stacy and her hubby are binge-watching  White Collar  in the spirit of Stacy’s mom. Naked Gun is being remade with an unlikely lead, but don’t listen to the critics! In the inaugural Dear Crabby segme...

Dr. Crabby is born! Also, while away Stacy learned about Hand & Foot (the card game, not the disease), her mother’s invite to Nixon’s 1969 inauguration, and how to master her cornhole. Meanwhile, Eric used his get out of jail free card from OITNB to  Escape from Alcatraz . And if you don’t want to be a Pepper, try Dr. Perky or Dr. Snap. Eric chewed stuff and Stacy was a nosepicker, but we list...

DAMTT: The Drinking Age Unsurprisingly Stacy and Eric get immediately off track; however, not all is lost as Stacy learns about the Seattle Dog and a “long bun burger!” She also learns that ASMR is not just crunching peanut m&m’s into the mic (oops). Eric gets schooled on jingle ICON Barry Manilow and a trivia game uncovers a Cultural Blindspot for Stacy. While discussing the drinking age, it...

DAMTT: The Best Sandwich By sharing her best April’s Fool Day prank, Stacy proves she’s savage which maybe isn’t great for her kids. Eric shares the little-known lineage of the original MGM lions and decides in a follow up from last episode, he’s a penguin. In a new segment about Jingles, Stacy pulls a deep cut bringing Eric right back to O-R-E-Os. More Blindspots were addressed and fun facts shar...

Stacy’s birthday and St. Patrick’s happened and so did Eric’s tea brack finally (if you like dried fruit, write in for the recipe)! Stacy’s been watching  The White Lotus , but more interesting than the show is the discourse  around  the show. Meanwhile, Eric discovered  Orange is the New Black  as part of exploring his Cultural Blindspots (Pro Tip: skip the intro). After a very revealing BuzzFeed...

It’s here, Stacy’s birthday! And a new episode of DAMTT. From talk of walking pads and crafts to St. Patrick’s Day food and Eric’s plan to finally make tea brack it’s another full episode. Their Cultural Blind Spots lead them this week to Costco and Trader Joes as well as dark comedy. Finally, they tackle their best chore (the Wheel O’ Topics) by discussing their worst chores. Follow DAMTT on Face...

Lest you forget dear listener, it’s still Stacy’s birthday month so leave a birthday message at (475) 999-2726 or better yet, share this podcast with friends! This week Stacy and Eric go from scenic Sedona highways to the Vegas strip in zero to sixty which is about how fast James Bond went to camp in  Diamonds are Forever . In a DAMTT first, Stacy and Eric welcome a guest! Kevin P. Henry, an emplo...

This episode drops on the eve of Stacy’s birthday month which you can celebrate by sharing a birthday message at (475) 999-2726 (belated greetings for Eric also accepted). Stacy and Eric also discussed Eric’s frustration with customer service and car shopping, a Vera update, vision boards, good ideas, and crunchy water (AKA celery). This time Eric’s Cultural Blindspot is Terminator 1 & 2 which...

Stacy and Eric record over Zoom this week since Stacy is exploring vortexes in Sedona while dog sitting for her friend’s dog Vera. Eric shares some tips since his dog Gertie has made him an old pro! Eric watched  Conclave  and they both agree it deserves two thumbs up; Eric was especially impressed with the sets while Stacy mooned over Ralph Fiennes. Stacy’s talks about her most recent binge watch...

Since Stacy and Eric don’t talk about the state of the world on DAMTT, naturally the conversation turns to oatmeal - Eric loves it for breakfast while Stacy enjoys it (without the raisins) as a cookie. The health talk continues with the saga of the treadmill eight years in the making before turning to valentine’s day; is Eric a Valentine baby? While discussing their Cultural Blindspots, Stacy shar...

Stacy and Eric start the episode with some follow up from past episodes; but HOLD please, first they need to talk about Muzak, weepy dentist office music, the hunky-dancer-guy-with-a-dog movie, and fish tanks. They also workshop ideas for dentist office ceiling distractions and ponder why Oral B and not A? The episode is filled with convo bombs including Eleanor Rigby and Stitch as Elvis. Speaking...

DAMTT: Posters Stacy and Eric start the show by shamelessly pleading for listener engagement (shout out to A Nano Miss) before diving right into their segment Cultural Blindspots in which they talk about binge watching  Younger  and  Severance,  catching on to shows like  1680  and  Baby Reindeer  and the ridiculousness of Bond films like,  You Only Live Twice .   The only thing more ridiculous mi...

This episode begins with no introduction as Stacy’s only willing to commit to “ok” while Eric finds himself in the “in-between.” Today Herve Villechaize lives on, Stacy shares her word of the year (spoiler: something Beethoven would be proud of) and Eric talks Stacy off the edge about a 21yo coworker not knowing Bob Dylan. He also makes a potentially controversial statement about the mustache spor...

Once upon a time we didn’t think we were going to make it past the year 2000, yet here we are! Eric’s resolution is toothy, and Stacy’s word of the year is TBD. To celebrate the new year Eric hung out with the young and sexy people while Stacy worked leaving her feeling old and grouchy. To help with their collective goal of reading, Stacy and Eric take a very scientific Buzzfeed quiz which ends as...
