In the Stacks with Barry & LaToya

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.

After what feels like a lifetime Barry and LaToya are back in the studio. It's the first actual episode since the record-breaking 30th Annual Library Fair and Barry is in good spirits. Money tends to have that effect on him (and LaToya). LaToya turns the tables on Barry and makes him the chump for Iron Man 2 trivia. Barry hijacks LaToya's segment and LaToya is actually reading a book but doesn't get to talk about it. Will the show feature a new co-host? What is the world coming to?!

LaToya's going on vacation. Barry decides to record the show early. Although the 'release' date is for after the Library Fair, it's the day before the 30th Annual Library Fair and the staff are all onsite preparing for the event. Barry and LaToya wing it as they do their show and oddities ensue. There's even an appearance by our local telephone repair guy. Stump the Chump is also an interesting edition featuring the spouse of a library employee and Barry shamelessly self-promotes while LaToya steps out of the studio to handle Library Fair business.

It's the week of Library Fair and Barry and LaToya are super busy. However, LaToya is unaware (as usual) that when Barry says something, he means it. In haste, she prepares for a full episode but has to save her segments and thoughts for the next show. What she also learns (decides) immediately before is to be the mini-episode Chump. With the chance to humiliate his co-host Barry not only has sports trivia but FSU & USC rivalry mixed in.

LaToya's sick. Again. Or has she actually gotten better since the last time? She drags herself into work to do the show and Barry teases her for being unprepared. She also brings with her today's guest and Stump the Chump victim, Trinidadian boyfriend, Kenrick Perez. With the Batman-themed game, Kell serenades them with the 60s classic show theme. Does he knock this performance out of the park? Bam! Pow! Thwack! Does Kenrick join Kell as the biggest loser? Na na na na Na na na na BATMAN!

Season Premiere. The Stacks welcome guest and famous pulp fiction author, Derrick Ferguson. As the season's first Chump he adds his own vocal stylings to the game. Barry changes up the format to the show and LaToya is the last to know. However, LaToya is pleasantly surprised (and relieved) that she's again co-host for another season. Paris Hilton is again a topic of discussion but who can top Kell's heart-warming rendition of the GI Joe theme?
