Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

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.

Play Ball---The Seattle Mariners & Tacoma Rainiers

Episode 116: Fooling Ourselves On April Fool’s Day, we’re surrounded by jokes, pranks, and playful deception. But what does it actually mean to be “foolish”? In this episode of Staying Power, Ashley and JD take a deeper look at foolishness — not as a punchline, but as a human tendency rooted in bias, emotion, overconfidence, and misperception. Drawing from psychology, behavioral economics, and philosophy, they explore how we all “fool ourselves” at times — and how recognizing those patterns can actually lead to greater wisdom, humility, and growth. Because being foolish isn’t the opposite of being smart. It’s part of being human.

Join Talk Cosmos | Sunday, March 29 | 1–2 p.m. PDT about the "US 2nd Government" — What does astrology reveal about this powerful moment for America? Most people know July 4, 1776 as the birth of the United States — but that's only part of the story. The Revolutionary War began in 1775, ended in 1781, and was officially concluded with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The first US government under the Articles of Confederation struggled to survive. So the founders built something stronger. On September 17, 1787 a new Constitution was drafted. Ratified in 1789 with a Bill of Rights protecting individual freedoms. And on March 4, 1789 — Congress convened in New York, elected officers, approved the Constitution, and reorganized the nation. That is America's 2nd Government — and it has its own astrological chart. With the US federal government and Congress front and center right now, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in Sunday for a thought-provoking hour connecting history, astrology, and the present moment.

In this episode, Glen Gilbert sits down with Trey Tucker, founder of Rugged Counseling, to unpack the complex intersection of masculinity and emotional health. Tucker, a therapist and coach with a background in corporate leadership and athletics, shares his "no-fluff" approach to helping men navigate the aftermath of divorce and betrayal. The conversation dives deep into why men often instinctively withdraw or isolate during relationship crises, exploring how biological "fight or flight" responses and cultural expectations—like the pressure to "swallow" emotions—can lead to a breakdown in connection. Tucker argues that while being action-oriented is a masculine strength, it must be balanced with the courage to "check the engine" and address internal struggles before they lead to isolation. The discussion also explores how early upbringing and fatherhood shape a man's identity and his definition of success. Tucker explains that many men carry a "haunting" sense of not being enough, often stemming from gaps in their relationship with their own fathers or from living up to someone else's definition of achievement. By addressing common post-divorce blindspots—such as the false belief that a failed marriage makes one "less of a man"—this episode provides practical insights for men looking to rebuild their confidence and find a purpose that is truly their own.

News from the front lines of informed consent. Do people know enough about the pesticides they use everyday and that are sprayed on crops? Do patients know enough about prescription drugs or vaccines? Did any citizen consent to having the skies above sprayed with heavy metals that rain upon their land and children? Bernadette Pajer returns to tell us about legislative efforts seeking to secure informed consent in many aspect of our lives.

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!
