    Lamb, Lemmon and Condiments We Love

    Did Eric and Stacy just become best friends?!? Eric, "The Girlfriend," and Gertie visit Stacy's cottage at the Veranda Beach Resort (the show's sponsor and Stacy's happy place) for Memorial Day weekend. A visit to Canada included A&W and their "teen" burger, poutine, and soda with real sugar naturally. Eric also had his periodontal post op visit and for the next four months is ready to suck Jello shots through his teeth. They also discuss PlayDoh and Irish Stew which apparently is deemed Irish if made from lamb - a smell that triggers Gertie. Speaking of smells, coffee smells better than it tastes unless you're Eric. For their Cultural Blindspots, Stacy and Eric were together and watched two movies; Some Like it Hot and Marty Supreme. The first is a weirdly edgy romantic comedy from 1959 about two musicians that go under cover as female musicians to avoid the mob. One poses as a millionaire, and one is pursued by a millionaire. Marty Supreme is a surprise from the jump and keeps the same pace and energy as an elite table tennis match. It features some interesting casting and a surprising body count! Stacy and Eric liked both movies which surprised them both. As for their weekly topic, Stacy "Ketchup" Heller and Eric "Mustard" Reidar go toe-to-toe and the winner might be gravy.

    Snitches Get Stiches and Reality Bitches

    Eric’s tooth extraction revealed a sinus infection and now he’s cosplaying as a prospector. To add insult to injury he pulled out his stiches out while practicing for Battersea’s upcoming show on June 20th at The Valley in Tacoma, WA. Like the good boyfriend he is, Eric waited too late to get “The Girlfriend” a birthday cake so perhaps we’ll have to celebrate when they come to Veranda Beach for the weekend. Stacy’s week includes a continuation of her dress quest and finds out she’s a yeasty girl (on her scalp) so as predicted by commercials from the 70’s dandruff is now a thing. What’s next quicksand? As for their Cultural Blindspots, Stacy goes back to the year The Gap opened (1969) and watched Midnight Cowboy. It wasn’t what she was expecting; however, she agrees it’s worthy of the AFI100 list. Eric finally watched Saturday Night Fever and found the disco music and dancing were the least offensive part for him, ultimately, he preferred Warriors. Hoping for a better outcome, he watched A Night at The Opera, the Marx Brothers classic. Sadly, he found it silly except for Harpo’s stellar harp playing. This week’s topic on the impact of reality TV was something Stacy and Eric could agree upon. While not judgement for consuming it, it does feel like there’s now generations of reality ick.

    Tone Loc, Billy Wilder, and Vices

    Today’s show starts from the top addressing the topic of vices with Eric confessing to his weekly 12oz can of cider, such depraved morality. Whereas Stacy started drinking cocktails slowly but joined select social drinking especially once at her lake house. Stacy visited Austin this week while Eric once watched MTV’s Austin Stories. Stacy also waited almost two hours for Franklin’s Barbeque while Eric is still waiting for Arby’s to have the meats! One thing they both have in common is their wariness about roller coasters. While at Six Flags in Fiesta, Texas Stacy rode the Ferris wheel which is less impressive than Eric riding the Ferris wheel at the iconic Coney Island. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy continued her theme of movies involving apartments by watching, The Apartment. She was struck by the empathy and modernity of the movie. Eric watched two movies on both sides of the spectrum: Heat and Sky King. The first is a classic cops and robbers movie with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, while the second is a documentary about an airline ground agent who stole a plane from SeaTac and took the ride of his life. As for their topic of the week, unsurprisingly Stacy has far more foibles than Eric, he’s just socially awkward sometimes.

    Kitchen Aids, Johnny Clay, and May/December Relationships

    It’s 5 o’clock somewhere and to celebrate Stacy has a gin and tonic and learns the correct way to say sláinte (slawn-che) which means health. In other news worth toasting Veranda Beach is offering listeners of DAMTT 10 percent of their stay (during the summer of 2026)! Stacy rants about the expense of weddings and how wedding gift registries have changed since she was a bride-to-be and Eric has his and her vacuums that really suck which may be the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Far better than part two of his upcoming gum graft surgery and tooth implant or BTL (Brazilian tooth lift). Missing teeth aren’t just for hillbillies plus; they’re an opportunity to suck Jello between your teeth – don’t knock it ‘til you try it. Also try making a straw wrapper worm. There’s a conversational side quest about Costco memberships, landlines and Welcome Back Kotter before Stacy and Eric regroup to discuss their Cultural Blindspots: Harold and Maude for Stacy and Witness and The Killing for Eric. Listen to their thoughts and opinions. As for their opinion on women’s ages when it comes to relationships, it’s personal, but keep it legal folks!

    Veranda Beach, Badges, and Tall Boys

    Eric, TG (the girlfriend) and Gertie are finally (probably) going to visit Veranda Beach! It’s especially exciting since Veranda Beach is our new show sponsor; it’s easy to promote something you already love! What Stacy DOESN’T love is eye doctors that suggest blepharoplasty and dress shopping. Eric had been “dating” himself by going alone to concerts, including seeing The Wedding Present and Art Brut. When it comes to how they spend their free time, Stacy and Eric are an odd couple which also happens to be Stacy’s Cultural Blindspot this week – The Odd Couple movie based on a Neil Simon play. While Stacy yucked it up, Eric found the Treasure of The Sierra Madre which is another movie on the AFI’s list of 100 American films to see. Both movies were recommended to watch even if the score of the latter movie was meh. Eric also recommends DTF Saint Lewis which is not what you might expect. As for the weekly debate, there’s no debate, however base it may seem, women prefer tall men. You could argue all others get the short stick!

    Bootys, Baby, and Date Night Ideas

    Eric heard a song from the elusive “Booty Jamz” compilation while at the grocery store which reminds them of the revelation about what B stands for at HEB grocery stores. He also learned that DJ Casper and Mr. C are the same person – Willie Perry Jr. And speaking of dance, shout out to the Hungarian politician who danced like no one was dancing, it’s tough doing your own thing when dancing unless it’s a 15 second TikTok dance! Stacy attended Cornyation for San Antonio’s annual Fiesta which was almost as spicy as the bumper stickers Eric saw recently. For their Cultural Blindspots segment, Stacy shares that she saw Bringing Up Baby and Room. The first was an old classic screwball romcom while the second was a more recent true crime-like thriller, both were good. Meanwhile Eric watched Gus Van Sant’s remake of Psycho which was less good despite an almost shot for shot redo; the casting may be the issue. He also explored another Sam Raimi directed movie with a stacked cast, The Quick & The Dead which was awesome! As for “date night,” there was some debate on whether you still go on dates once you’re in a relationship, but Stacy and Eric can agree that it doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be fun.

    Weird Songs Sung Sundaes

    Stacy starts the show more subdued than usual having just been to therapy before recording where she explored being “too much.” Don’t worry, her self-awareness quickly goes out the window. Now that her house in Washington has closed, she and her husband continue to explore their new environs like HEB (B for Butt!?). Talk of the two-step devolves into a conversation about quirky songs like the Casper Slide, Scatman, Cotton-Eyed Joe and Crazy Frog. Eric is brack at making tea brack, but cherries are too expensive in this economy! As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy finished watching Song Sung Blue which was in fact very blue. She also saw Project Hail Mary which was NOT rocky at all! Eric watched Is This Thing On? which is a newer movie directed by Bradley Cooper. For a movie based on being a standup comic, it wasn’t very funny. He also started rewatching Malcolm in the Middle since the reboot is out soon and found it to be very funny. As for the perfect sundae, Eric argues it’s in a waffle cone with no toppings and Stacy loves the Almond Joy Sundae from COHO, an old Issaquah fave. They were split on banana splits.

    Dial M for Mother Mary

    The highest of all (Catholic) Holy days happened (Easter) and now Stacy has hymns stuck in her head (you can really rock out to; Here I Am Lord). The conversation did yield new information about Eric; he did the readings at church which gave him the confidence to hone his talent for talk. In addition to hymns and ham, Stacy met “the boyfriend” (her daughter's new bf) and Eric went to the movies. The former went very well, and the latter included unfinished popcorn and heavy breathing which could be solved if seating assignments were more like the college roommate pairing process. After a quick convo about how Neveda makes us sick, it was time Cultural Blindspots. Stacy went high, Dial M for Murder and low, Real Housewives of Rhode Island and Below Deck while Eric went to the movies for his first EVER Ryan Gosling movie. He was a big fan of Project Hail Mary and shared his usual insightful commentary. If you’re looking for something else to watch on the small screen, consider St. Denis Medical; it’s got Office-like vibes and humor. As for who Stacy and Eric are more like, their mother or father, it’s a mixed bag with mixed feelings.
