OSNAP #30: Mmmm… Popeyes

Posted on April 17, 2013

OSNAP: Mmmm… Popeyes
Before diving into poop and looking at porn, Merrill kicks off the show by sharing his utter confusion at a pleasant compliment at work. Kevin agrees that is terribly confusing, and he assures Merrill he will never confuse him that way again. Kevin then reminisces on his more-than 10-year career writing about movies. In the middle segment, things take a serious turn when Kevin launches into a rant about rape culture and what he characterizes as the collision of the bystander effect and reality TV. But don’t worry because things lighten up again at the end when they skewer Justin Bieber and check out some wacky news stories, with topics that include orgasmic fried chicken and whether size really does matter. Oh, snap!

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 38

Posted on August 15, 2011

In this very special episode: Kevin begins the show in his fall-back position… he snacks loudly while Merrill tries to talk about television. The sugar wafers call him throughout the episode, and he becomes more and more hungry in spite of snacking. The Idiots talk about what rocked on television and when certain shows are in danger of jumping the shark. Then they break down a list of TV news, including some juicy coverage of renewal and cancellation tidbits. Then, it’s on to what sucked before sounding off about new ratings and reality TV. Finally, the show wraps up with DVDs and a barbaric recommendation.
