Gertie Bolts, The Robot Missteps, and Should We Start Bowling?

Get ready for another whirlwind episode with Eric and Stacy, your podcast pals who prove it’s not what you do, but how you retell it! Stacy’s still dealing with a persistent ankle injury and some questionable eyesight (highlighted by her paint-by-numbers struggle), but she’s also discovering new territory at the lake house, including Roosters in Tonasket, where the ice cream is delicious and cheap. Meanwhile, Coal’s late-night antics keep Stacy on her toes, and Eric’s dog Gertie is up to her usual mischief, making a brief getaway before returning home in record time. Eric and “the girlfriend” take to Commencement Bay for a kayaking adventure, though not without a minor mechanical malfunction where he almost blew his gasket or was it his valve?! Listener Sudsy in the Suburbs writes in to Dear Crabby about showering habits, prompting a refreshing conversation (pun intended) on the topic. In Cultural Blindspot updates, Stacy surprises Eric by finally watching RoboCop and loving the satirical newsbreaks and the unforgettable ED-209 stair mishap. Eric revisits Tron, only to find it hasn’t improved since childhood. The Wheel O’ Topics lands on Hobbies, leading to a thoughtful discussion about creative outlets, world-building, and why hobbies—like older men building trains—deserve respect and community, not shame. Tune in for all the tangents, laughs, and heartwarming moments that make Don’t Ask Me to Talk the right kinda talk!
