DAMTT- 11-06-25 American Psycho Demands Ice

In this episode of "Don't Ask Me to Talk," Stacy and Eric pull the thread on a variety of stories and musings, from the embarrassing (for Stacy) moment of pulling a hair off her male friend’s sweater only to realize it was still attached to his chest, to the should have been awkward moment of a waiter spilling Coke on Eric’s girlfriend’s sweater (he was deft so it was fine). This leads to a rabbit hole about how Europeans drink soda without ice (Stacy is NOT a fan), Eric's ice-chewing habit, the common practice of offering women in labor ice chips to chew on, and Eric training to be his mother’s Lamaze coach (he got out of it when literal push came to shove)! They share life updates, including Eric’s Halloween adventures (or lack thereof), in a medical mask and the sad closing of his go-to pharmacy Bartell (with no S). Tune in as they explore Cultural Blindspots and the shame associated with having them (sorry, not everyone has seen Rambo). In honor of spooky season Eric watches "Drag Me to Hell" and "American Psycho" while Stacy reflected on the tactile, but short joy of listening to full albums on a record player. For their topic of the week they discuss video games - the social aspect of gaming, and nostalgic memories of arcades and early video game consoles and Beatles Rock Band. It's a lively mix of stories, humor, and insights—perfect for those who love a good tease of everyday life.
