Don’t Ask Me To Talk

The Convo Kids are on a break this week so to tide you over until next week we bring you an encore of a Stacy Connects episode you might have missed when it first dropped. This episode is essentially a mash up of Don’t Ask Me to Talk (DAMTT) and STACY CONNECTS. It starts with the story of Coal versus a bobcat in which Coal loses 4 lives at once. Stacy’s -Ism is about curiosity, while Eric shares o...

DAMTT: Two Lies and a Truth (or is it the other way? ) On this Boxing Day and Crystymas edition of DAMTT, the Convo Kids take you on a journey through topics that include (but are not limited to) The Holidays and their aftermath, Stacy's Christmas movie marathon, what's more depressing Charlie Brown's Christmas or Black Mirror? Peanut Butter Buckeyes and so much more. Then today's topic from the w...

DAMTT: Cereal Talk Although Stacy and Eric are stocking-deep in trees, lights and gingerbread, they still found time to discuss their wrapping skills, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, the virtues of a gift bag, favorite stocking stuffers, Trader Joe’s three buck chuck and Charles Shaw. They also share the results of Juicy People from the last episode (Stacy won hands down). While talking cereal, they re...

Stacy broke her wee wee piggy toe but still made it to record so she and Eric could talk about mice, broken body parts, the Winklevoss twins, BINGO (the game, the app, the lifestyle), being hip to the scene, Decembeard, Eric’s undercooked turkey, holiday activities, trees, Halcyon versus salad days, stoopid toys (including Eric’s hot take on the most overrated toy), being a slave to the wheel and...

How do you prefer “living” your life, as fiction or nonfiction? Eric uses fictional Ozempic in accordance with his non-fiction finances. Other conversational tangents include makeup trends, the lifespans of various generations, disco naps, the fine falsetto of the Bee Gees, Emily Heller (no relation), passwords, of note holidays like Bathtub Party Day and Pawnbrokers Day, and the quaint system tha...

I’ll bet you think this episode is about vanity and it is, sort of, eventually, at the very end when Eric and Stacy talk about whether they’d consider cosmetic surgery and which type. But first, it’s “giving” Thanksgiving. DAMTT is like a traditional Thanksgiving dinner – the meat of it is the least of it; it’s all about the interesting sides and flavors that get layered on that make it memorable....

Stacy and Eric slide into memories of sprinklers and shady water fountains before slipping into embarrassing tales of things our parents say. The talk about gingerbread cookies starts out sweet and quickly gets spicy with talk of the gingerbread Busty Bait House and other strip club adventures. Stacy suggests pranking listeners by switching the topic from Pranks to Three Dames for Dinner (a follow...

Stacy and Eric don’t even make it through the intro before they go off on a tangent about tangents. Did you know drummers get the short (drum)stick when it comes to royalties? That would push our buttons and not just on Natl. Button Day! Stacy and Eric get kind of Goofy talking about Mickey Mouse, old socks, and cider before discussing who they’d invite to a dinner party. Since both pick all men,...

Stacy’s back in time for the election making her miss the vaping Tahitian hottie with his straw bag even more. Meanwhile, did you know many desserts in the UK are called “puddings?” Eric did! Can eyes have diabetes? Where in the world is peanut butter NOT a thing? Is Eric a stout man? Who was Sadie Hawkins and why did Eric sew his own pants for a dance? And finally, does birth order define us? Fol...

Radio or not here we come again! Stacy didn’t watch  Shawn of the Dead  yet, but she did watch  The Prince and Me  which did not impress Eric. The show is especially all over the place today which tracks since it’s the last day to celebrate ADHD Awareness Month. While Election Day is WAY more important than Plan Your Epitaph Day, only one made it on the Wheel O’ Topics. Speaking of topics, horseba...

Stacy got her nails done and her groove on with “oldies” reimagined by Muzak and Eric pre-functions for Halloween by continuing his foray into Zombieland vis a vis George Romero’s world of Zombie movies. Be aware of kangaroos, black cats, and kids with nothing to do on Mischief Night. Stacy will mention Annie in EVERY conversation about music, while Eric once again proves his musical depth pulling...

Stacy was willing to go all the way to Canada to get Mars for Eric, that’s friendship. Speaking of candy, is there a candy podcast category since in every episode of DAMTT Stacy and Eric discuss candy?! Have you seen Shawn of the Dead? Do you know about the Swallows of San Juan Capistrano? And would you rather…a cook, a housecleaner, or a driver? Follow DAMTT on Facebook and Instagram @dontaskmeto...

Eric found his best descriptor yet for DAMTT; we’re conversational off-roaders! Where else do the stories go from snorkeling in Tahiti (and reenacting Kim Kardashian’s iconic diamond earring debacle) to Taking Your Parents to Lunch with everything from Soul Coughing, Korean Tapas, a special font for sarcasm (Comic Sans?), corn, handbags, Yom Kippur, African Penguin Awareness, M&M’s, and Columb...

Eric went to jail. But first he visited his sister whose house is cold, bought a base layer from Ross in SF, saw the band Pulp, and walked a distance to get on a boat to Alcatraz. Meanwhile, Stacy visited some local trolls and avoided jail time. Today’s randomness includes talk of Taco Day not being on a Tuesday, how many people it takes to change a lightbulb for Change a Light Day, Fluffernutter...

Max Power and Miss Busty (AKA Stacy and Eric) are back! Eric learns what “sugar honey iced tea” means which leads to conversations about honey, bees, Winnie and the Tao of Pooh, free range bees, and the post-summer shoulda/couldas, and that’s before the first break. They talk saving photos, love letters (Eric + Natalie 4Ever), biscotti & coffee day, world deaf & silent movie day, before th...

Best way to remember a password, be petty! It’s condiment month so Stacy and Eric attempt to name 30 original ones during which time Stacy says *moist.* They touch on guide dogs, cystic fibrosis month (which is in May), moustaches, Liptember, Matthew, Paul, & Mr. Maple, the Covid, Strays , candle month, baths, pirate-themed cereal, and one-hit wonders. Spoiler Alert: they don’t really rename t...

In a personal record, Stacy quotes two Taylor Swift songs in under two minutes (Eric brings up James Taylor within four)! In this week’s episode they discuss the origin story of the holes at the bottom of t-shirts, James Bond theme songs, disaster preparedness, Costco-sized jars of kalamata olives, a concept for food expiration tests, blueberry popsicles, school pictures, old commercials and their...

Stacy starts with a confession about her fav podcast while Eric shares his tale of woe going from no-vid to Covid. Among other topics, they discuss the importance of a “better breakfast,” happy cats which includes bobcats, mimosas versus samosas, ampersands, and whether there’s boxed wine in other parts of the world. Finally they get to the topic at hand, hidden talents; listen to learn what their...

The Convo Kids, Stacy and Eric are back; however, the call-in line isn’t quite yet. But in an exciting development, Eric reads DAMTT’s first Apple rating! This time the topics pinball from colonoscopy prep and Brazilian waxing to Honey and Whole Grains months with pivots into square dancing, Hoyle, tocino (bacon in Spanish) and ballroom to name a few. Finally, inspired by Stacy’s rereading, “Littl...

The episode starts with a confession about the show’s number before we get into topics like: Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast, lightening, Twisters and the hottie that is Glen Powell, Eric’s take on seeing Alien for the first time, the Blake Lively drama (Alexis Bledel is the “sister” I forgot), American artists, learning Japanese, crayons, colonoscopies, Burning Man, why we say our names so much, th...

Stacy is back in the studio, and the sound quality has never been better! The duo kicks things off with their usual banter about the banal and humor before diving into today's hot topic: the worst movies. Will they dissect the most dreadful films they've ever seen, or will they take on the title of the worst movie of all time? Tune in to find out and enjoy a fun-filled conversation that’s sure to...

Thoughts on DAMTT becoming a fill-in-the-time-of-day drive show sponsored by a cheesemaker? Stacy is so desperate to get listener interaction she may give a kidney while Eric shows his support for a virgin flyer (listen to understand). They discuss their go-to music/playlists with Eric once again proving his musical taste is superior (or more obscure. Have an opinion or idea you want to share? Ema...

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, Ph...

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 a...
