Matt Answers Your Questions Part 8 (11/04/09)
1. Do you, and Amy allow the kids to listen to music that has explicit lyrics in them, or, are they only allowed to listen to clean music?
Matt's Answer: Well, you know, Jacob we keep from listening to stuff that has explicit lyrics in them but Jeremy and Zach are 19 and they can listen to what they want. Fortunately they choose, as far as I know, not to listen to such music. That's just not their kind of music. They listen to a lot of Gospel and Christian music. They do listen to a variety but they like Country. Their favorite, well I think all my kids' favorite band may be Alabama. But if Jeremy and Zach wanted to listen to explicit music they certainly could. Molly doesn't choose to listen to such music I know for sure because she doesn't like it. And of course Jacob we don't allow. Matt 2. Chance grabbed everyone's heart I am sure. I eagerly await to see how he is doing. The last I remember his mother was saying they were hoping to hear his voice and his laugh. Has there been progress with him?? I too want to hear his laugh so much after seeing how his life had began! I am also wondering how your friends who have had surgeries at times are doing. Could you give updates on all of these. Matt's Answer: I've seen Chance quite a bit during conferences and such and he's doing really well. But as far as how his voice is coming along, I really don't know for sure. Matt 3. I recently watched an episode of LPBW in which one of our suppliers, Fiskars, was doing what it could to adapt their product to the needs of little people. As one of the buyers for the leading US art supply companies, I wondered if there are fine art products that Little People Artists would like to see. Matt's Answer: The best thing to do would be to contact the Little People of America. Maybe they could show up at one of the conferences and take measurements and whatnot. I think it would be awesome. Matt 4. Is there any little people conventions close to Mississippi or do you plan to visit anywhere close? Matt's Answer: Well, we'll be in Nashville in July. Matt 5. How are the kids from Iraq doing? Matt's Answer: The kids from Iraq are doing ok. They have a lot of serious problems. They are actually in the US right now and you will get to see that in an upcoming show soon. Matt 6. Hey Matt, in one of the lost episodes they panned the camera to the pumpkin field and there, I spotted in that moment a white cross. Was this a pet that died or ???? Matt's answer: Oh, you must have just seen the cross from the top of the church because we don't have any crosses in the ground. It was probably the cross on the church. Matt 7. I have a vision problem called Macular Degeneration, and, I was born with it. I am sometimes shy about talking about it in front of people who don't know anything about it. What advice would you give to me to be more confident about speaking to people about it? Matt's Answer: You have to be comfortable with yourself. It just takes practice. You have to speak about it. Then speak about it a little more. But at the same time you don't want to make that the topic of every conversation. Because people, ya know, want to hear about everything else you got going on in your life. Not just your problems. Matt 8. Matt, are you going to have a behind the scenes episode? Matt's Answer: We're talking about. That's definitely a possibility. Matt 9. I've often wondered whether there have ever been discussions or plans for Jon and/or Kate and the kids to visit the farm (and be filmed by TLC of course!)? And what do you think of what Jon and Kate are going through? Why has being on TV worked out for you, Amy and your family and not Jon and Kate? Matt's Answer: Well, we have sat down and had dinner with Jon and Kate and discussed the possibility of them coming here. But we were never really able to come up with a schedule that would work for all of us and the kids. But yes, we have had that discussion before and talked about how fun it would be for the little kids to be on the farm. As for why it's worked out for us and not them, I can't answer what's going on in their life because we don't know. But, we certainly empathize with them. We know how stressful it can be to be on a show and to have cameras in your house. It's very, very, stressful and difficult and not an easy task at all. We certainly feel very, very bad for what they're going through but we certainly understand living in this life we both have chosen to live in. Matt 10. Have you had any trouble with weird fans? Any stalkers? Matt's Answer: Yes, we have. And on a number of occasions fans have just pushed themselves and the FBI had to get involved in a couple of our investigations. Matt 11. Matt or Amy, what do you think of people on other boards and blogs who post really mean things about you and your family? Do you read any of that anymore? Matt's Answers: We don't really read any blogs and sites because we're mainly busy. But we know they're out there. There's just some mean spirited people. It always surprises us how some people think they've got it all figured out about us and, more often than not, we chuckle because they have it so wrong. Matt 12. What size T-shirt do you wear? And if the board fans sent you a shirt would you wear them on the show? These would be shirts from all the different states we are from. ( starting with mine of course, Cutefamily!) Matt's Answer: Sure, I wear a men's medium. While I can't guarantee that we will wear every shirt that's sent to us, if we like it we certainly would try. We wear all sorts of shirts people send us all the time. Matt 13. Still some confusion about this topic. Matt, at this time, are you using Twitter or not? If so, what is the correct name? If not, someone else is impersonating you. Matt's Answer: I do have a Twitter account. It's called Matt Roloff. I use it very rarely. But I have written a few things a couple of times. TLC has been encouraging us to use it more frequently. It's nice to just type in something quick every now and then about what's going on. But I'll never really be a twitterhead or tweethead or whatever they call it because I don't, you know, spend too much time online. Matt 14. What do you enjoy the most about Pumpkin Season? Matt's Answer: What I enjoy the most is meeting all the different people. The hustle and bustle of it all. And of course, pumpkins! But mostly seeing all the neat people that come to the farm. Matt

15. Just wondering if you are a good singer?
Matt's Answer: NO! I am the worst singer in the entire world! I can't carry a note to save.....I'm one of those guys in church who have to mouth the words because if I try to sing, everyone in the room would be looking at me and wondering who's messing up the song. LOL I'm a terrible, terrible singer. Matt 16. I live in North Carolina and my favorite place to visit is the Biltmore House/Estate in Asheville, NC. Would you ever consider visiting there? Matt's Answer: Yeah. One day if I'm ever in NC I might pop in. Matt 17. Will this season be the last one? Matt's Answer: We don't know for sure. Matt 18. Why don't you ever visit the forum anymore? Matt's Answer: I do visit from time to time to read stuff. But, to be honest, I don't log in to write because it's getting harder and harder for me to type. My fingers get stiff and I'm just not a very good typer. Once you get logged in and one person asks you a question and you answer them, then another asks you a question and if you don't answer you start to feel bad if you can't answer everybody's question and so that's why I go through DS. Matt 19. Which forum members, if any, have you cracking up when you read their responses on the forum? Matt's Answer: There's a couple of them that I've cracked up over. But most of the time with our forum, most of the members seem to be right on. They seem to get the truth. When you read some of these other crazy sites you laugh at the ridiculousness of their hypotheses and how far off base they are on things. I think our forum members have watched enough episodes of the show that they have a more balanced and accurate view point. They seem to have a more accurate picture of us. You know, they see enough to know that Matt has his good days and some days he's a jerk but that doesn't mean he's always like that. And yeah, some days Amy can be harsh but it's not every day. And so yeah, people on our forums seem to be smarter about it and see what's really going on. Matt 20. Don't leave us hanging, are you and Amy really going through some marital problems, or is the show playing up what small problems you do have in order to make it look like more than it is? Matt's Answer: Yeah I think the show is playing it up to make it look like it's more than it is. Amy and I are both definitely going through some changes. But I think they are making those changes look more like marital problems. Amy's doing more on her own. She went from being a school teacher and now she's out and about more and doing her own thing. But no, I wouldn't say we are going through marital problems as much as I would say changes as individuals like anyone goes through. The only difference with us is that people have a chance to watch and dissect us. Which is what we signed up to do. A lot of marriages go through changes and you never get to see it. Even close friends may not see it. But in our case, we have cameras here to see it. You're getting the luxury of seeing it good, bad or indifferent. Amy and I are deeply committed to each other and I don't think that it's as catastrophic as people may think. Matt 21. Are the twins attending college now? Matt's Answer: Yes. We are very proud of them. They seemed to have stepped up to the plate. They are attending a little local college. Taking classes and seem to be doing quiet well. They're really into it. Matt 22. How are the ratings so far for the show? Matt's Answer: The ratings have been really good. In fact, surprisingly good. It's kinda like the Little Engine That Could. It's the tired, worn out, little show that's been around for almost 200 episodes. LOL And yet we just got ratings data today from last Monday and they were very, very, strong. Matt 23. Do you ever get to see the funny songs, videos, pics, signatures and stuff that we all post and make up about you, the family and even Sven? lol Matt's Answer: Yeah when we log on we get to see those signatures. I don't know if I've ever seen any videos. But we've seen different things. Remember, we don't spend a lot of time online. But we've seen various things and have laughed at them. Matt

No. But I did ask 20 and 21 since so many people were worrying about those things. Especially the marriage one. LOL
