In The Stacks With Barry & Latoya

Today's show has no People in a Minute, No Stump the Chump, and no Sarah. But what it does have is a lot of talk about libraries and about LaToya's health. It's just a general chatter kind of day but what is revealed is the upcoming sponsor of the show, Joel Taylor, owner of Providio Consulting. If he wasn't planning on sponsoring the show, he will now.

Sarah is back on the show and tells us about her best trip ever. She also resumes as our Holiday Chump. LaToya also discusses what it's like to have children in her home and the lack of desire to have children.

After a two week hiatus, the show is back with a bang. Barry decides to try out a Red Bull and shares the experience with listeners. LaToya's People in a Minute lasts the majority of the show as there is comical discussion regarding Twitter. LaToya discusses her bouts with depression and Barry lends his support.

We're interviewing, again. That being the case we're doing the show in between interviews. Today's big topic is 'Barry's Don't Do It - In a Minute.' You don't want to miss hearing about what other product's 'treatment' has left a negative 'effect' on Barry.

It's St. Patrick's Day and time for another episode of ITS. Sarah again joins the show and conversation is lively with talk of entertainment and politics. Barry tells LaToya she belongs in a zoo, LaToya watches as Barry tries to replace her with Sarah, and we learn that Sarah has no sense of time.

It's another interview day at the Twin Lakes Library System and so that our loyal listeners get a dose of ITS we record the show in between interviews. Keep the children away from this one as talk is candid and censoring, not so much. Sarah joins Barry and LaToya on the show and helps complete the reverse Oreo.

It's not Thursday but LaToya wants to record the show anyway. With no show last week and LaToya's mood stable she feels that now is as good a time as any. However, Barry feels that she's unstable and he's not in the mood since it's not Thursday. To appease her he records the show but starts recording when she's out of the room. Much of the show is devoted to Charlie Sheen. Who hasn't heard of him going totally bonkers? See if you can catch the two breaks in the recording due to having to take care of library business. Sarah also joins the show as Barry tries to make light on a ginormous situation.

Just when you thought we'd said goodbye to in-studio guests and Stump the Chump we surprise you! Actually, Anthony Davidson, drummer for Pumpkin City and younger brother of show co-host, LaToya Davidson-Perez, makes a somewhat surprise visit to the show. After continually being ridiculed by Barry for his wearing of girl pants he feels the need to set the record straight and show up to the show in...unisex pants. This show is a gem as nothing is off-limits and LaToya is on air with two of the guys who know her best. And no, the abrupt cut off at the end of the show was no accident listeners just didn't get to hear all of Barry and Anthony's laughter at LaToya's expense.

We'd already used winging it in a title for this season but it certainly seems like the theme for the season. LaToya comes to the show empty-handed. Correction, she comes with a doughnut. Barry is ready to go and manages, as usual, to make LaToya look like a fool. Barry insults most of LaToya's immediate family especially her mom and boyfriend for not letting her watch the Super Bowl and what's an ITS show without talk of Lindsay Lohan!

Despite what may have seemed like a month-long break from the new season, Barry and LaToya are back. Or is it just Barry? This season's format seems to be a bit more conversational with even less preparation. But don't let that deter you from listening in to the often off-color and politically incorrect behavior of the co-hosts. Barry talks about himself. As usual. He also shares some breaking news with the audience. LaToya pretends to care. Join them for another exciting episode.

It's a new year but it's the same old LaToya (and Barry). She manages to offend everyone including Barry, her brother (Anthony), and friend (Joel). Will Barry ever view her the same way again? Will her brother forgive her? Will Joel still be her friend? A lot has happened since the last show which as a result makes this the longest show to date. Plus is it really goodbye to Mr. Golden Earring?! This aims to be truly the best year ever!

One can only hope that this episode is worth the wait and worth its weight. After work and sickness delays and despite the lethargic sweetness of lunch, Barry and LaToya come together for their first Christmas Special. Or is it the Special with no real reference? Sarah Davis returns as our seasonal chump. Does she finally win one? Does Golden Earring do the Dradle Song justice? And does Anthony really wear girl jeans? Listen to all this and more on the extended episode.

The final regular episode of the season shows employees that even librarians have opinions. Barry railroads LaToya's segment (as usual) and a new Chump plays Fairy Tale trivia. News of the Weird only gets weirder as human rights and sheer stupidity are discussed.

It's the Thanksgiving episode and Sarah Davis returns to be the chump. After her Halloween appearance will she find more luck with 'gobble gobble' trivia? News of the Weird is now a new segment on the show and you won't believe your ears. Hint: reptiles and domestic relations.

With the Veterans Day holiday AND Barry's birthday, the show has been delayed by one day. But boy what a difference a day makes! The hosts discuss why they couldn't and didn't record the show early and spend a great deal of time talking about the Brits. There's also a lot of whistles. LaToya gives a shout out to Lil' Joely and Barry tries to stump her with Brett Favre trivia.

Things are again off in Stacksland this week. Kenrick Perez returns to redeem himself after his disappointing Batman-themed Stump the Chump appearance at the beginning of the season. Mr. Golden Earring sings and Barry and LaToya chat about...the usual.

If you're looking forward to LaToya's People in a Minute, don't be. Today's show is all about the special connection between Barry and Allie Fox. And if you thought you'd heard the last of LaToya and corn dogs, think again. New employee, Sarah Davis is the Halloween Chump, and Mr. Golden Earring 'sings' a Halloween classic.

It's the eve of the Deep Roots Festival and all is quiet at the library as there is no legal way to park at the facility. However, it's the perfect day for an episode of the show. The Man with the Golden Earring returns and plays for a third time as our chump. Is the third time a charm?

After mentioning last week that Network Administrator, Andrew Smith is now sporting a stump so much has happened in the land of the Twin Lakes Library System. Andrew not only is missing the tip of his finger he resigns his position on staff metaphorically giving us the finger. We're all in good humor though as he makes what may be his final appearance on the show as this week's chump and to tell us his harrowing story of how he almost lost his life...oops, finger. Barry and LaToya also share their Top 5 Albums and Artists of their lifetimes and revel in Barry's recent (almost) perfect job evaluation score.

The show brings another big name in the world of pulp, Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Press. He is a new kind of Chump. Barry and LaToya bicker as usual while LaToya takes her People in a Minute segment to a more intellectual level. More talk about the budget and the cursed Service Delivery Agreement, and general banter and ITS chaos.
