THE INTERVIEW BRIEFING:
We are talking with “Dr.” B. Neebascher (pronounced Knee-Basher), author of The Official Beanie Basher Handbook.

“Dr.” B. Neebascher. Is that your real name? And, what’s wrong with your voice? (The “Dr.” will be talking through a voice modulator to “conceal his identity. He is residing in a bunker with Salman Rushdie)

Beanies are just soft, fluffy, cuddly-cute little plush animals. Why do you hate Beanies so?

Your book describes the anatomy of Beanies. Please detail for us what exactly it is that they are composed of.

The Official Beanie Basher Handbook also dives into the subject of counterfeit Beanies... (and making your own counterfeit defect mutations for the big bucks).

Your research has uncovered some rather far-fetched conspiracy theories based on the Beanie phenomenon. Can you briefly describe some of them for us?

Retiring your own Beanies... elaborate first on why you would want to retire your Beanies and then on your preferred methods.

You might want to mention that you read articles in NewsDay and The Wall Street Journal that said that the bottom was dropping out of the Beanie market. Excerpts here.

I think the most valuable section of this book (as people become stuck with hundreds of what you consider to be worthless plush toys) may become the “alternative uses for Beanies.” Share a few of your favorite uses with us.

I understand that your book has actually started generating some hate mail. (web site: www.octane.com/beaniebasher)

Where can our listeners (viewers) pick up The Official Beanie Basher Handbook?

BIT IDEAS:

Have callers call-in and earn their copy of “The Beanie Basher Handbook.”

Have them describe creative wys to “retire” their Beanies.
Have them list a creative alternative use for their Beanies.

Get a war going! Have your listeners call up and tell why the LOVE or HATE Beanie Babies.

Offer to purchase someone’s entire Beanie Collection at current market value and then ceremoniously pave them into a prominent street, or cement them into the foundation of a new city building project.
