DAMTT-Weddings, Toy Boats, Killer Plants, Grogu and Ren Faires

In this episode of Don't Ask Me to Talk, Eric and Stacy swap Labor Day weekend stories that range from heroic (not really) to hilariously relatable. Eric recounts rescuing a stranded remote-controlled boat during a kayaking adventure on Commencement Bay, while Stacy shares the chaos of preparing for an East Coast wedding, including an unexpected deep dive into men's fashion and the eternal struggle of shopping with a spouse. Along the way, they compare airplane seat preferences, celebrate regional quirks of New England, explore how travel exposes us to cultural blind spots, and review everything from The Mandalorian and Grogu to Little Shop of Horrors and the Seattle-set film Tow. Finally, the Wheel of Topics serves up a debate between Civil War reenactments and Renaissance Faires, leading to a lively discussion about niche hobbies, historical obsessions, and why some people are willing to spend a weekend dressed in period costumes.
