In this very extra special episode: The Idiots say good-bye to the listeners and the bi-weekly podcast of The Idiot Boxers. But fear not… they will be returning in the fall with a brand new podcast, so watch this feed closely. Merrill will live on to annoy Kevin, and Kevin will have plenty of new chances to make fun of Merrill for various reasons. But before all that nonsense, the Idiots finish out their two-and-a-half-year run with sad news, talking about the shocking and untimely death of Tony Scott. After reminiscing about the director’s life and career, Kevin and Merrill talk about TV news and the wrap-up of the summer shows. Then it’s on to the final Sound-Off and the last Idiot Recommendations before giving the listeners a treat: a taste of what’s to come in the new podcast.

In this very special episode: The Idiots get set to make a very special announcement, but you’ll have to wait for the end of the episode for this. Before the announcement is made, the Idiots talk about crazy boutique shops in Long Island, being fat and 40 at an amusement park, pillow-and-blanket forts and why Kevin’s kids like it when daddy drinks. Then, they move on to TV news with some insights into new shows in development. In the third segment, the Idiots review the shows of the last two weeks and weigh in (a little late) on whether it’d be funny or not if Daniel Tosh were raped right now. Finally, the Idiots lay down some DVD suggestions and a charming Idiot Recommendation. Then there’s that announcement at the end. (Spoiler: Kevin’s not pregnant.)

In this very special episode: It’s another light week for TV watching in the summer, but that doesn’t stop the Idiots from gathering in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk TV news and other sundry things. They start off with Merrill giving his thoughts on being a real-life production assistant. Later, Kevin moves on to make fun of Merrill for not knowing his cinematic Shakespeare. This leads to other age tests, most of which Merrill surprisingly passes. Later, they talk about the scant TV shows of the past two week. Kevin blows Merrill’s mind in regards to Burn Notice, and they both talk about not getting anything blown while watching HBO’s Real Sex. There’s also TV news, DVD Recommendations and a special Kevin Carr shout-out to Falling Skies.

WILFRED: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

MOVIE: **** (out of 5)
DVD EXPERIENCE: ** (out of 5)

In this very special episode: Because God has it out for Merrill (or at least that was his theory last week) and Hurricane Irene caused a delay in production scheduling, the Idiots decide to do a new show this week as well. Welcome to Idiot Boxers 3.0, or as we like to call it: Idiot Boxers Season Three. They restructure the show to streamline the reviews and have more chit chat (which is code for “Kevin berating Merrill”). They pay their respect to the victims of 9/11, then they celebrate Kevin’s 40th birthday. As the summer series all wrap up, the Idiots prep for a new season of television. Then Kevin breaks Merrill’s heart by declaring his love of Community.

In this very special episode: Apparently Mother Nature is not a fan of The Idiot Boxers because she sent Hurricane Irene up the east coast to knock out Merrill’s power for an entire week. Mere hours after power was restored, the Idiots were back online and talking about TV… well, after a half hour of recounting Hurricane Irene stories flavored with the spicy, hot bitterness of Starbucks. Then, Kevin chimed in with a grand story of an $11,500 burrito. Eventually, the Idiots moved on to what sucked and what rocked, along with TV news and a couple sound-offs, which includes a scathing review of Hulu+.

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.

In this very special episode: The Idiots start out bemoaning the most recent live-tweet, the Nicolas Cage crapfest known as The Wicker Man. Later, Kevin does his artful impression of Merrill, and later extrapolates how they both sound to the audience. There’s promises of taking Merrill to a strip club and maybe a pie in the face during the Late-Night Chat Room. Oh, and the Idiots also take some time to talk about what rocked and what sucked on television these past two weeks. Then more shenanigans with child molestation on Diff’rent Strokes, DVD recap and an Idiot Recommendation.

In this very special episode: Kevin returns from his vacation sunburned and grumpy. Merrill welcomes him back with a signed photo of that hot British chick from Transformers: Turn Off the Dark of the Moon. They catch up, then head into the summer shows with what sucked and what rocked… with a few surprises along the way. Then they talk about TV news, including the Emmy nominations with shows that neither of them watch. Finally, Merrill breaks Kevin’s brain with his Sound Off before moving into DVD releases and Idiot Recommendations.

In this very special episode: Kevin gets caught up with the abundance of Victoria’s Secret pictures of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, so in a moment of brilliance, Merrill brings on Andrew Robsinson to fill in to help talk TV.
