In the Stacks with Barry & LaToya

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.
