Blood Trails and a Bag of Dicks
They’re on a two-week streak with recording and hoping to beat Stacy’s Wordle streak which currently sits at seven days (it was 97). Eric is living the Stacy life (that is, not working), but not without issues. A recent power surge added fix an outlet, the water heater, and more to his “do list.” The water heater bested him leaving him with a blooded finger and fading bravado when he had to confront his former place of employment. An underground tour of Seattle lifted his spirits and possibly introduced him to a few as well. Stacy also played tourist in her town, attending an art stroll where she purchased new artwork. She also learned professional football is not in her future and not for the reasons you’d assume! For their CBSs, both Stacy and Eric went early-aughts. Eric finally watched Brad Pitt eat nonstop in Ocean’s 11 while Stacy watched Ben Stiller fumble his way through Meet the Parents. Each had similar thoughts, a little guilty pleasure worth the calories. Eric is fulling embracing noir-vember (his mustache game is weak sauce) by watching a series of films starring Dennis O’Keefe. From Raw Deal to chasing Woman on the Run, Eric was engrossed. As for which role in a heist to steal a Faberge-branded Gummy Nerd Cluster they’d choose, both picked the same role (which is surprising given Stacy’s penchant for being an outlaw).DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com Next Time: Subtitles?

Gertie, Coal, and Werewolves Go Over the Rainbow Bridge
They’re back! After a monthlong “break” Stacy and Eric are back together (remotely). Eric shares his update which includes life altering changes like losing his job and Gertie (Rest in Peace sweet Gertie Girl). He also survived his visit with his mom, their trip to the symphony, plastic water bottles and a death cap dirt nap. Sadly, the easiest part of October ’26 was probably undergoing the next stage of his tooth saga. Stacy’s month was less traumatic although she did say goodbye to her cat Coal coincidentally on the same day Gertie passed away. In the spirit of “Spooky Season,” while Stacy was in San Antonio learning all about Dia de los Muertos, Eric watched all the Universal monster movies like Dracula with Bela Lugosi, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man (who was a jerk with a complex), and more. Eric learned two important things; no one compares to Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Dracula had to sleep with Transylvanian dirt to take his daily (dirt) nap! Stacy saw Verity in the theater which was a horror movie of sorts given the topic and critics reviews. As for their debate on whether a vampire or a werewolf is the bigger “monster,” it comes down to which version, the situation, time of day and month (full moon?), and preparedness. Net net, you don’t want to run into either at the drycleaners.

Nerds, White Chicks, and Adult Diapers
Stacy starts the show with a disclaimer about Carmex and a snack. It turns out Carmex is NOT addictive, it’s the cycle of dehydration and reapplication. What is addictive is Nerd Clusters and Eric just doesn’t get it. Clearly, he has not tried the crun-chewy concoction beloved by ADHDers and middle-aged women! Speaking of crun-chewy, Gertie is hating her new low-fat diet, and her resilience proves that like Chumba Wumba, she gets knocked down, but she gets up again. Eric has a type, roadside vacuums that are missing parts that can be replaced with the magic that is 3D printing – speaking of nerds! Thankfully with the money he saved on the vacuum he could afford to go see Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore? Nothing like nickel and diming your joy. Meanwhile, in her quest to make friends, Stacy went to a Sip & Putt event her apartment building hosted and found out the hard way how strong it was which may have improved her short game! Stacy watched two movies for her CBS this week, Straight Talk with Dolly Parton and James Wodds and White Chicks with the Wayans brothers. The first was sadly just meh and the second is meh if you’re over the age of 45. Eric prepared for a special Seattle Symphony event featuring the music of Ennio Morricone by watching A Fist Full of Dollars with Clint Eastwood; a movie where Clint found his steely-eyed, loner, big screen identity and spaghetti westerns found their footing in Hollywood. Who knew there’s a whole genre of western movies helmed by Italian directors! As for holding it versus using the restroom on a plane, it all depends on your age and stage. Just don’t follow the trend of wearing adult diapers to a concert so you don’t need a bathroom break!

Owala, Aquafina, and Xenia
Remember Carmex? Stacy and Eric do and Stacy may have been addicted. The debate between “Is Pepsi ok?” and Diet Coke arises (can you tell who writes the show description by their names?). In considering what they’d “heist,” Brad Pitt’s affinity for constantly eating in the Ocean’s 11 movie leads to a conversation about Aquafina and the Oceanettes. Eric’s show at the Valley of course went well and when he heard Apple music is building a music venue at the Battersea Power Station naturally, they get thinking about an opening gig lineup. Eric confused an act of kindness for a scam, discussed his skincare routine, and shared Getie has pancreatitis which means no more bacon. Whereas Stacy has been wearing dresses, painting, and declaring war on art. For this episode’s CBS, Stacy watched From Here to Eternity while Eric continued his quest to experience the James Bond movies in order by watching GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan, his favorite part might be the campy repartee between Bond and his tech guy. In watching The Thomas Crown Affair, he confirms that maybe Pierce is just a meh actor but acknowledges Rene Russo is stunning. As for working from home versus the office, it boils down to workplaces taking a page from the movie 9 to 5.

Breakfast, Drag, and Radiators
Once again Stacy is in a good mood (read talkative). She’s on the heels of another trip and Eric is in his usual bemused with a dash of salty mood. Stacy shares stories about her stay at The Brewster House in Freeport, Maine (home to L.L. Bean) and the really freaking good breakfasts made by Dave! Somehow the conversation devolves into topics from the Gideon Bible and Rocky Raccoon to the mattress/pillow app and having luggage scales at every hotel/motel/b&b for souvenir happy travelers. Inside of focusing on these potential Shark Tank-worthy endevors, Eric and Battersea have practiced and are ready for their show at The Valley in Tacoma where they’re sharing the stage with The Honey Bee Breakfast and The Lame-O-Sexuals. Poor Eric tried to promote it but the Facebook AI bots kept flagging the ad…interesting since top AI execs are flagging AI in general – hmm. The exciting news is DAMTT got an email from listener Wes from PETA who was tickled by Eric using one of their animal-friendly phrases!! A listener and fun SWAG, yes please! For their CBS, Stacy went back in time a bit first to the early 80’s with Absence of Malice with a dreamy Paul Newman and Sally Field. A smart movie a la All the President’s Men with a premise about accuracy versus truth in journalism; a topic that still resonates today. Her second choice was To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo, a surprisingly poignant story about drag queens and their unexpected and at first unwelcome stop in middle America. Eric also watched two movies, David Lynch’s first movie from 1977, Eraserhead and packed-to-the-rafters with new (then) new talent, The Outsiders. Eric was surprised by how much he liked the former and by how much more he hoped for from the latter. As for new games, Eric showed how hip he is by suggesting chess and Stacy recommended Hitster because she IS hip!

Weddings, Toy Boats, Killer Plants, Grogu and Ren Faires
In this episode of Don't Ask Me to Talk, Eric and Stacy swap Labor Day weekend stories that range from heroic (not really) to hilariously relatable. Eric recounts rescuing a stranded remote-controlled boat during a kayaking adventure on Commencement Bay, while Stacy shares the chaos of preparing for an East Coast wedding, including an unexpected deep dive into men's fashion and the eternal struggle of shopping with a spouse. Along the way, they compare airplane seat preferences, celebrate regional quirks of New England, explore how travel exposes us to cultural blind spots, and review everything from The Mandalorian and Grogu to Little Shop of Horrors and the Seattle-set film Tow. Finally, the Wheel of Topics serves up a debate between Civil War reenactments and Renaissance Faires, leading to a lively discussion about niche hobbies, historical obsessions, and why some people are willing to spend a weekend dressed in period costumes. Next time: best new game we've learned.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#ladiesbeshoppingforpeace, Comfort Dolly, and Scary Jamie
Stacys in a good mood since her stomach bug passed and pizza from Leo’s in San Antonio may have been the cure! Shopping helped too, which led her to pose an important question to Eric. What is the guy’s version of candles and throw pillows and/or shoes and handbags? Men not agreeing on “a thing” may be why we don’t have world peace. Because Eric’s bum was still numb from kayaking, he and “the girlfriend” went biking instead which while it was hard getting started, he enjoyed his cushioned seat. Despite their varied schedules, Eric and bandmates from Battersea are preparing for another gig at The Valley in Tacoma on September 19th, 2026. Naturally, Stacy had excellent ideas to help prep, which he appreciated greatly. He would appreciate her help when his mother and aunt visit, but Stacy is enjoying watching him squirm. For their CBS, they independently watched a Dolly Parton movie (9 to 5 for Eric and Steel Magnolias for Stacy) to pay respect to a legend! And then each went rogue, Eric with the original Halloween and Stacy with High Fidelity. Eric was surprised at how much he enjoyed Halloween after building it up as a kid. Stacy enjoyed High Fidelity for the soundtrack, cast chock full of future stars and sheer angst. Eric pointed out that when he and his friends are music dorks that intellectualize music there isn’t nearly the same response…no offense, they’re not John Cusack in 2000. As for snow versus leaves, one’s fun to play with while the other is fun to play in…neither is fun to clean!
