AT 059 Win A Date With Stibs

Hello. I must say we did enjoy the pictures submitted from the highest point in your area. We must say sorry to FloatinHigh we did not expect you to drop your camera. We are truly glad that your memory card survived the fall, because you had the best picture out of everyone.

Questions/Comments:

Does Asava really always make it work?

What is up with the contests? There has not been one in a while.
I have an idea for a good prize… win a date with Stibs.

Okay…horrible answer. The person you got the answer from only used main
characters. Which is stupid. I can think of many that she forgot. I have noticed
that probably 60% of SVU episodes have had someone with a small role who also
had a small role in Sex and the City. There are 10 seasons of SVU, around 25
episodes a season. So three is not the answer. Doing a little research, I found
22 men who were on both. There are about 5 who have had recurring roles too. Bad
source. Get me a better answer. Please.

This question is for Asava/Rich…yep that is right…As you know now, Ryan said
in a previous episode and has told me numerously, I can not read “his book”.
Does my oldest son, who I love, who I knew and told him that literature was “his
thing” even though he fought me on it, think he can shock me?  Does he think I
won’t understand his vocabulary?(which is entirely possible:)Or can you tell me
what possible information/perspective/other stuff can Ryan (my son) possibly
have to write about that I cannot read or would come as a surprise?  Instead of
telling you that “I would kill you” for leading everyone to believe he “sells
weed or is gay” why would he not reply “my mom knows me better than that” (is he
trying to scare you?). Does he think I don’t understand?  Alas…if that is what
he thinks he is mistaken.  Shall I remind him that there is nothing he can do
that can shock me, scare me, or stop me from being his mom. He is free to live
his life through his choices and I will be here for him.  Like all the waves in
the ocean, to the sun and the moon and home again (he can explain that to you).
For that matter how about you two?  Do you know that nothing can stop the
unconditional love a parent has for their child? Stop and give your mom a hug!
On another note.  Don’t shorten your show just cut out the crap questions. Who
cares what your favorite dorito is or what lasts longer energizer or duracell.
Who cares about macaroni or alfredo, what to buy for “my new house at the
grocery store”.  Come on….it is fun to hear you all debate and “figure out”
life at your age. I’d rather here about the “balcony” than the food:) That
should cover your next hour…With love.  Stibmom.

Is it bad to walk and eat at the same time?

What do the Oompa loopa doompa doopity do?

AT 046 No Internet

Hello. This week’s lack of Stickam can be blamed on Comcast. Pull out your pitchforks and torches, because we are going to go show Comcast who is the boss. On the positive note we did get a good number of questions and some great comments. One listener pointed out that peanut butter is actually best when put on hot chicks. We also got another comment that Stibs tried to battle concerning Atheism. What happened to The Movie Bandits? What happens if you fail a college class? Is there a way to avoid the freshman 15? Where is a cheap place to get cute rain boots? Did president Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

AT 031 Meatloaf

Hello to everyone who did not win the contest. To the one who did win hello from everyone but Stibs. This week we got some of questions that took us way off topic. Our first question asks Rich why he is always trying to pick up chicks on the show, asks Asava if he knows how to spell the country Greece, and compliments Stibs on a good show. The other questions included why are the times off on the episodes? Why are oil bottles funny shapes? What should I do with the dead cat in my driveway? Can you die from too much oxygen? What is the best sub at Subway?

Hello and welcome back to the show that helps make you forget that mistake you woke up with this morning. This week Jessica was not on the show, but she felt that Asava needed some back up from all the bashing last week and asks why can we not all just get along? Other questions include Why…why!… why!!? What is a good hobby for the summer? Why is my birthday not every day? With all the sunflower seeds in the bird feeders, why are there not more sunflowers? What is the difference between a deck and a porch? What is there to do in Greece? Why are the buttons on men and women’s clothing on opposite sides?

AT 027 Kurt Knows All

Hello to those who need a little love, but to those who do not need any too bad we have some for oyu too. This week we have a little void where Stibs should be, but we got our good friend Kurt to fill in. This week we received quite a bit of answers. We have a concerned listener wondering why anyone needs Stibs’ respect. We also have a request for Asava and Stibs to switch hair styles. We also have a few suggestions for the contest that we will have starting next week. The questions we got were: how do you keep your brother out of your bathroom? Is dryer lint useful for anything? What do you do to perk up? Who is your favorite Disney princess? Who is your favorite hero?

AT 009 Contest

We are terrible people for making you wait so long for this show, so we decided to do an extra long show. This week we get Jessica’s opinions on what will not happen on Rich’s honeymoon. We also got some diverse questions ranging from the weather to lethal injection. We also give a little incite to what we think is going to happen in University of Michigan football in the next couple of years. We also get asked why boys like fire, guns, and Sticking things up their noses. Should schools be able to have a devil as a mascot? Is the 3 door Saturn Astra ugly? Even with all of this we still thought that we should do a contest. The person who has the best name on a question submittal in the next two weeks will win… something. We also want to know who you think will win the Super Bowl and what will be the point outcome.
