Episode 014 Show Notes:
In this episode…
- Biggs takes credit for vanquishing a competing show (Chuck’s Glue Podcast) which has stopped production.
- Stick It! with Mr. Biggs is an audio podcast and does not use Skype or Facebook video because they don’t want to see you.
- Chuck never did any BREAKING NEWS!
- Stick It is a podcast about glues and adhesives (and sometimes sealants and tape).
- Discuss a BREAKING NEWS item out Houston, Texas, U.S.A., where a restaurant’s aquarium cracked and created a soggy, watery mess.
– Vietnamese restaurant names can be difficult to pronounce.
– Sometimes thirst is not associated with a water-based story.
– Dining areas need to be as inviting as possible to offset other issues.
– A glass-monger needs specifics.
– People who speak a different language are not dumb.
– Roger is not aware of the official Axiom Number System.
– A “Quick Tip” sounder is needed, but not an email sounder.
- Stick It! with Mr. Biggs is a safe space.
- Biggs is a wordsmith while Roger is more of a coxswain.
- Grab the mail sack and answer a listener’s email about repairing the plastic top to an insulated mug that can contain 52 ounces of liquid.
– Reading an email in its entirety before posing questions is tested.
– Sometimes throwing something away is correct and appropriate, but that’s not the point of Stick It!
– A hot butter knife pressed into a plastic crack might, might, be helpful but probably not.
- Re-talking about stuff is not good when you can rewind.
- Library people are not Stick It people.
