Stacy shares the tale of getting her Texas license which involves the straight-out-of-central-casting Dept. of Public Safety in the town of Frederickburg. While Stacy’s husband was a wreck anticipating the process, Stacy eased in like a drawl and the process went down like sweet tea! What’s the difference between a Farmer’s Market and a Maker’s Market? See if you agree. Speaking of makers, Eric ventured to the new Maker’s Lab at the Tacoma Public Library to create a masterpiece of modern engineering; the process is ongoing and involves a free Hoover vacuum. Continuing to tick off items off their Cultural Blindspot Stacy watched Modern Times (Eric’s recommendation from last time) and Pulp Fiction. Eric watched something from the century, in fact from the most recent Oscar’s race, Begonia with Emma Stone. Once again opinions and thumbs up or down were shared. On the topic of Biggest Lie” it was determined that Stacy is the biggest liar (among other things) while Eric was once a fraud.

Stacy isn’t the only one that lives far away, it turns out there’s DAMTT listeners all over the country (and world)! But how many of them have experienced Buc-ee’s? Stacy and her husband made the pilgrimage and as promised, it’s a lot, from “Beaver Chips” to brisket and bathing suits, Buc-ee’s delivers. Eric had a less in-your-face time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with tea brack and colcannon. He also has FSA money to spend so let the loophole search on how to spend it best begin. Eric’s Cultural Blindspot of the week is on the AFI 100 list, Modern Times with Charlie Chaplin. It was a movie square on the fence between the silent era and “talkies” about finding and keeping a job in the face of modern times. Also starring Paulette Goddard, Eric was surprised to find he enjoyed it so much and saw the seeds of many comedy bits like I Love Lucy’s chocolate factory episode. Stacy watched KPop Demon Hunters which she was also surprised to enjoy since she’s not into K-pop or manufactured bands. Her takeaway was its good for children AND your inner child. As for nicknames, Ric-y Radio/E/Eric has none while Beans/Stacky/Fire Face/Stacy has plenty to go by and give!

Stacy is still getting adjusted to life in San Antonio with days mostly punctuated by sun, heat, deliveries, and service calls with folks like the grumpy clock guy. She’s also learning about life with hard water which Eric is surprisingly well-versed in. His update is less sunny as he found out he didn’t read the fine print about his gum graft surgery; like that there’s a part two!! It’s enough to make you wonder about the ROI on dental procedures. But in good news, Battersea played another great show even if Eric did spill his drink. Stacy and Eric both checked off Cultural Blindspots; Stacy watched 9 to 5 while Eric watched, To Kill a Mockingbird. Eric also watched Band of Brothers and Pacific which was awesome but brutal. The weekly topic was fantastic failure which made for hilarious and heartfelt conversation that taught us not to be phased by failure (which we all fail to do).
