In this episode…

  • Biggs and Roger each take blame for the show’s poor introduction.
  • The show is underway despite Roger’s receptiveness.
  • Quickly regain their footing and catch lightning in a bottle with the quick arrival of the BREAKING NEWS segment.
  • Roger says words that don’t really exist.
  • Stick It is a podcast talking about glues, adhesives and sometimes sealants, tape, caulk, friction welding (and sometimes word usage.
  • Biggs is sick of the vernacular used on the program because some of the listeners are simple.
  • Discuss a BREAKING NEWS item out of Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A.!

– Someone vandalized the side of a building with possible racist overtones.
– Biggs goes the extra mile and personally called the Peoria Police Department concerning the issue, but the tape ran out.
– Insulation foam letters sprayed on the side of a building or window can come off easily with a razor blade or putty knife using a downward scraping motion.
– Police departments should make it easy to leave information.

  • Easy thing that should be easy are often not so easy.
  • Hulk Hogan and Britney Spears fans often mean no harm.
  • The e-mail sounder made by Deejay Sammy Samsta continues to disturb Biggs.
  • Grab the mail sack and answer a listener’s e-mail about soundproofing (or sound-treating) a room to guard against unwanted acoustics.

– Using power tools causes squeals of glee from Biggs.
– Sometimes e-mails freak the host out.
– Terrified screams are hard to muffle.
