1. You’re on a deserted island for the rest of your life…who do you pick to spend it with; Shy, Reka or Scotty?

4. Since all three of us are Carmel graduates, what is the one Carmel stereotype that is true and one that is false?
M: Yes, it is true we all have butlers 24/7. However, we do not all have chauffeurs seven days a week. They need weekends off too you know:) ~ insert sarcastic giggle~
5. Sexiest restaurant in Indy?
M: Hmmm…I have to go with Sullivan’s. It’s my fave. I love it because it’s classic and sophisticated sexy. Not to mention, the food is phenomenal!
6. Indy’s best kept secret?

M: Lipgloss, water, and my cell phone. I am constantly applying, drinking and texting while on air! I am multi-talented.
11. What did you do for your 16th birthday? 21st birthday?
M: I was on MTV’s Super Sweet 16 and had a total hissy fit when daddy gave me a black Mercedes instead of the white one I wanted…he totally ruined my big day! LOL
Seriously, I had a surprise party at 16 and there are only 3 things I remember about my 21st birthday down in B-town:
1) I was wearing a tiara
2) Lots and Lots of Shots
3) I woke up and said the phrase we’ve all said before, “I am NEVER drinking again!”
12. What is a nickname your husband calls you?
M: “Little B”
13. Lipstick or Lip Gloss?

M: I am addicted to Gossip Girl, Melrose Place and Flipping Out on BRAVO.
17. Do you ever think, like we do, that people are often stupid for not getting some of the questions on “You Can’t Beat McK-K”?
M: Some questions are difficult, but alot of times I think people know the answers and just get nervous when they are on the radio. They choke. Someone is going to beat me one of these days!!!

Oh well…
Later, the same day, Alana did respond and tell us she liked the questions and would have them done by Wednesday or Thursday. A week later and we still have not received the responses. We did explain to Alana that we needed the answers by today at noon or we would need to move on to other plans. We even extended the deadline by almost 12 hours…with no response. But all is not lost…Alana did send us a message two days ago…
“hey i am getting ready to answer the questions………had a very busy weekend and got caught up on my boy job today……on question 25 about the controversy, i will answer if i can have a list of things that have been said………i will answer true or not true…..im not sure of what has been said………..i feel no need to defend myself because i know all the right people are showing their true selves with their conflicting stories and lies……i will confirm or deny such things u or ur readers might have heard or been told……….such as, ” alana quit talbot” etc…..thanks……i just dont want to tell my side of the story because i have nothing nice to say……im sure u understand….thanks boys”
Remember, your friends chose you for this interview. So…we’re sorry, dear Alana Steele fans, there will be no interview, by her choice…she has spoken to her fans!
Nonetheless, McKinzie from RadioNOW 100.9 has been chosen as our next interview. The questions have been sent and she has informed us she is excited to see the interview up in print. This upcoming weekend, leading to Miss Indiana USA, we will have interviews with J. Scott Reid(pageant judge and stylist), Bailee Zimmerman(Miss Teen Indiana USA) and Brittany Mason(Miss Indiana USA 2008)!!! Thankfully…those interviewees have been spoken to and the responses are on their way!

Recently, after several phone calls and emails, the boys of raannt were able to get a few moments with the Douche Slayer, from IndyDouchebags.com to ask him a few questions. Here’s what we found out…
1. What name would you like us to use for the interview?
Douche Slayer will suffice.
2. What is exactly is the job description for a “douche slayer”?
I slay douches.
3. What is a movie that has greatly impacted your life?
Richard Pryor: Live at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach, CA.
4. A song you want played at your funeral?
The theme from the A Team.
5. The doucheiest place in Indy?
It’s close, but the ass clown promoters at BLU give it the edge.
6. Are douche bags born or made?
Researchers at Harvard are close to isolating the Ed Hardy gene, which may change our understanding of these poor creatures. But right now, absent concrete, empirical evidence, I would have to say that they are made.
7. If you could only listen to one CD for the rest of your life and it couldn’t be a mixed CD, what would it be?
TOOL: Aenima.
8. What is the last book you read and what are you currently reading, if any?
Tom Clancy’s, The Bear and the Dragon (for the 10th time)
9. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being extremely douchey, how douchey are the boys of raannt?
0. They are too comfortable in their own skin to be douche bags.
10. What are your plans for Halloween and will you be wearing a costume?
I am going out as a douche bag. Ed Hardy, stunna shades, dog tags, forearm sweatbands, cocked ball cap and all. Then i am going to come home and shower for a day or so…
11. What was your favorite television show when you were growing up?
Cheers.
12. Any background information you want to supply us?
My writing paints an accurate picture of my psyche. The Douche Slayer is a pseudonym, not a character. It is me.
13. You said on an interview with Kim Iverson that you would not be anonymous for much longer…is that still the case, and why?
I have revealed myself to my victims so that they might seek proper retribution. In true douche bag form, they don’t. Woof, woof, little doggie…
14. Favorite Drink?
Newcastle.
15. Sexiest place in the world?
Pamplona during San Fermin (Running With the Bulls). It oozes testosterone, adrenaline and sex.
16. Most un-douchey place in Indy?
Slippery Noodle.
17. Who are three local celebrities you actually find somewhat interesting?
Pass.
18. What did you want to be when you were 16?
A breast.
19. If someone were really looking for you in public, what would be a sure tell sign of how to find you, without completely giving it away?
A trail of slayed douches in my wake.
20. Long or short showers?
Baths.
21. Boxers, Briefs, Jockstrap, Nothing…Bra?…
Commando. I haven’t owned any draws since i was 18.
Thanks Mr. Douche Slayer…Talk to you soon!
