For the last episode of Don’t Ask Me to Talk to air on KIXI, Stacy and Eric commemorate by discussing Chip and Dip Day and Near Miss Day among other nonsensical holidays (not worth mentioning). Their topic for this week is dreams and unlike Stacy, Eric doesn’t have weird reoccurring dreams which may or may not mean she’s a little crazy! Vance Dingfelder from Dingfelder’s Delicatessen and Nourish Catering talks about Passover food and explains the difference between matzo balls that sink versus float.

Stacy and Eric get particularly into their conversation about International School Meals Day, comparing school lunch with home lunch. They determine the grass is always greener on the other side. As promised, they welcome a guest (Steve Haas) to the show and spin the Wheel ‘O Topics to determine their topic. Steve, Stacy, and Eric share their first “real” jobs. Steve learned his is now obsolete, Eric learned he likes suits and Stacy learned how to save lives.

Do you prefer warm weather vacays or cold around this time of year? After their usual banter about random holidays that include cats and old stuff, Stacy and Eric explore their vacation preferences.

Or would you rather eat waffles? Stacy and Eric discuss the sport of curling and the literal impression it left on Stacy when she tried it years ago. They get a bit sidetracked by the notion that Tootsie Rolls were “developed” before finally launching into a rather in-depth dissection of breakfast as a meal (including a giggly tangent about the program Review with Andy Daly).

Stacy and Eric agree Pizza and Chocolate Days don’t belong together; how do you pick which to celebrate? Maybe you alternate between them since it’s also Develop Alternative Vices Day. Stacy’s bright idea to write a song backfires spectacularly; primarily because of her lack of talent and in spite of Eric’s attempts to take a less random approach. By the end, it’s hard to tell what they’ve created, if anything.

But Sid starts with S and Sid is apparently Cookie Monster’s first name! Stacy and Eric discuss today’s holidays such as Lotus 1-2-3 Day which is as random as you’d expect; it does start a good convo about the show, White Lotus and Aperol Spritzes. Their topic of the week is favorite cookies which leads to Eric’s question, “Is a Fig Newton a cookie?” and his hot take that store bought cookies are generally bad. They cover the spectrum covering Hydrox to oatmeal raisin with a coconut macaroon mention in between. Vance Dingfelder from Dingfelder’s Delicatessen and Nourish Catering chats about the evolution of opening the deli for dine-in and teases listeners with Valentine’s Day treat ideas like cherry cheesecake and raspberry rugelach. Go to https://dingfelders.com or https://nourishcatering.com for menus and more.

and other arbitrary rules from childhood. Stacy and Eric celebrate National Popcorn Day by discussing their fav types, toppings and ways to make it (anyone else have a Crazy 8 popcorn popper?).
