DAMTT: Do Majors Matter?

Ready for another wild spin on the Wheel O’ Tangents? This episode finds Stacy embracing “roid rage” (thanks, prescription steroids) and losing sleep—while Eric fondly remembers his polio vaccine as oddly tasty. We’ve got first crushes, canine and musical (Devo), plus a sweaty, shirtless Iggy Pop sighting at the park. The duo finally wraps up The Godfather II, checks off more cultural blindspots, and debates the cinematic merits of both The Fantastic Four and Superman (spoiler: Eric’s reviews are glowing). Stacy attempts to “get” Happy Gilmore 2—and mostly doesn’t. And when it comes to the big question, “Do majors matter?” Eric’s got an answer that depends on the branch of the military. For all the delightful chaos and sideways opinions, tune in and let the tangents take over! Don’t Ask Me to Talk delivers! DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as dontaskmetotalk.

Coal the cat drops in as Stacy and Eric debate RICE vs MEAT (hint: both come with side effects), relive Field Day fails, and celebrate Eric’s quest for a car—big cupholders, vibrating seats, and all. Dear Crabby dishes on weed, and the hosts dissect the first half of The Godfather Part II (verdict: Al Pacino is cute, Eric’s been to Tahoe). This week’s topic? Prized possessions. Turns out, they’ve got plenty but narrow down surprisingly easily. Plus, a Cheezit hack you’ll want to know. Tune in for tangents, laughs, and the kind of chaos only Don’t Ask Me to Talk delivers!

DAMTT: My Pet Parrot OR My Parrot Needs a Line Not a Cracker

Join Stacy Heller and Eric Reidar in this week’s episode as Stacy battles her ongoing ankle woes (she’s definitely not up for Eric’s proposed “Jumping Jacks” segment), and Eric recounts his misadventures in car shopping—a saga filled with lemons and zero lemonade. For their Cultural Blindspot, both tackle The Godfather, experiencing plenty of ah-ha moments, a few ohs, and some definite ewws. And when it comes to teaching a pet parrot to talk, well, let’s just say the parrot speaks for itself. Expect the usual witty banter, meandering tangents, and more on Don’t Ask Me to Talk!

DAMTT: Homework

Join Eric Reidar and Stacy Heller as they follow tangents and share real-life misadventures. This week they discuss undiagnosed ankle woes, too-short fireworks, wine tasting in Canada, European travel plans, and Stacy’s Instagram catch-up. No topic is off-limits for Dear Crabby, even family vacations. Eric and Stacy also tackle Cultural Blindspots—this time comparing blockbuster movies and giving a nod to Murderbot, Taskmaster and Adam Sandler movies. When they finally get to homework, there’s far more to discuss than anyone expected. Tune in for witty banter and unexpected detours! DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as dontaskmetotalk.

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 Novak, the song "Carlotta Valdez," and finally classic movie quotes, with Eric contributing his usual unexpected references.

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 energy healing.

They debate cherry trees, brainstorm summer family activities, and wrap up Eric’s Star Wars journey with *Return of the Jedi*. Stacy revisits Stuart Woods’ novels before joining Eric in a spirited discussion on their Myers-Briggs results and whether they matter. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram @dontaskmetotalk.
