In this very special episode: For Memorial Day weekend, the Idiots give a heartfelt thanks to all men and women in the military who have served the country, and they take a moment to remember those who have fallen. They then take some time to talk TV news and go through a slate of season (and series) finales. After stumbling into discussions about Slip ‘N’ Slides, Kevin Smith’s hypocrisy and Will Smith’s (so far) bulletproof charisma, they settle into some DVD suggestions, two Sound-Offs and an Idiot Recommendation. The Idiots then prepare to face the summer season of television and say good-bye to their loyal fans in Kenya and Ireland.

In this very special episode: The Idiots ring in the new year by pushing through the January slump. They share their holiday stories – from Merrill’s very traditional Jewish-Japanese sushi sandwich to Kevin’s undying love for roast pork and sour kraut. Kevin gets called out on his RottenTomatoes reviews while Merrill reports on his anthropological studies of Long Island high school girls coordinating the pumping of overpriced gas. Later, the Idiots talk TV news (which seems heavily weighted towards An American Horror Story) and later chat about what they watched. Then it’s on to DVD suggestions and Idiot Recommendations before signing off for another two weeks.

In this very special episode: With most of the season finales out of the way, the Idiots get ready for a short show… until they find FozzieBare squatting in the Magical Studio in the Sky. The more the merrier in Idiotville, so they invite Fozzie to join the show. Apparently the Rapture happens in the middle of the show because Fozzie disappears. But that doesn’t stop the Idiots from talking about what rocked, what sucked, TV news and how pornography can affect a podcast.

In this very special episode: Because the Idiots are welcoming of all faiths, the Idiot Easter recording begins with Kevin asking some major theological questions. Yet somehow, the episode derails into discussions about shower sex. Still, the Idiots manage to talk about what they thought rocked and sucked in the past two weeks, with Kevin bringing out some claws for a handful to shows and Merrill sounding like the nice guy. After some TV news and a somber nod to Elisabeth Sladen, the Idiots move on to some sound offs, DVD picks and Idiot Recommendations.

In this very special episode: Right out of the gate, Kevin shares too much about his private life, derailing Merrill in the way only an idiot could. They still manage to talk about what they liked in television over the past couple weeks, which leads to a potentially colon-destroying scientific experiement for Kevin. After rattling through some surprisingly relevant television news, the Idiots head back to the “What Sucks” category, which causes more chuckles from Kevin because he’s an immature ass. Then they finish out the show with a sound-off, DVD picks and recommendations.

In this very special episode: The Idiots come out of the gate fighting, then talk about what they liked for about 25 minutes. They refocus on some more intelligent discussion in the second segment with a voicemail from a listener. But soon, things derail as the Idiots take the Charlie Sheen drug, infusing their bodies with tiger’s blood and Adonis DNA. After their faces melt off and Kevin’s children weep over their exploded bodies, they talk about TV news, what they didn’t like on TV and recommendations. Winning!

In this very special episode: The Idiots start off the show by chewing the fat to cover up the fact that there really wasn’t that much to watch these past few weeks. But they manage to talk about the things that rocked and the things that sucked. In particular, they take aim at some of the modern sci-fi and superhero television shows available on the dial. The Idiots also lay down some TV news, including what’s on the bubble, why Glee can have Justin Bieber and whether the Kennedys can take down basic cable television. Finally, they end with some DVD picks, recommendations and why Merrill is infuriated by sunglasses.
