Coffee with Idiots

Happy Independence Day, Beanies. The Idiots are celebrating the beginning of the U.S. with the end of their show. That's right, this final episode of Coffee with Idiots features Libby Ballengee: writer for dayton.com, Gem City Podcast-er, and advocate of the Dayton music and arts scene. She stopped in to talk hometown pride, her origins as a podcaster, and some outdated tech that even Brandon Berry didn't know about. This episode is brought to you by tearful goodbyes and free audio software.

The Idiots are back at it with an old friend of the show. Daniel "Diesel" Hood came back on to get a few things off his chest. This time, he talks about his own comeback with his radio show Ohio is on Fire as well as some past conflicts with his former superiors that tried to keep his dream down. This episode is brought to you by caffeine and alcohol (not together, of course).

This week, up-and-coming stand-up comedian Trevor Ginsberg (@TrevorGinsberg) sat down with the Idiots to discuss his brand new comedy career. He also treats our ears to a sample of his beat-boxing talents, effectively blowing Tyler's mind. They talk millennials, obsolescent media, and the impact of hip hop in this episode riddled with audio difficulties. This episode is sponsored by ourselves, because we don't do ads anymore.

For this milestone episode, Kyle and Michael Andes dropped in to talk good old rock and roll. They are the respective lead singer/guitarist and drummer of Dayton rock band RIND. They talk influences, creative processes, and the origin of their band name. Two RIND songs, "Dancing on the Oceanside" and "Lame Brain," are used as interlude music with permission. This episode is sponsored by nobody because ads are annoying.

This week, the lovely Laura Rea stopped by unannounced to scare the bejesus out of the Idiots. They discuss her new hair and life styles that come with her recent retirement. Also, she talks about her sparse but fantastic appearances on stage and accepting that she has been typecast in her latest roles, including in the musical where she first met the Idiots.

This week we have very special guest, actor and star of several major films (we think) Robert Downey Jr. The idiots chat about Bill Murray's favorite holiday, the latest from their passion project TBTV, and fun with candy dishes. This episode is sponsored by Loot Crate and GameFly.

For the first anniversary episode, the Idiots brought in the most guests they've had in one room. Past guests Matt McCormick and Riza Ingalls stopped in with their friend Michael to talk about their shared experience with 5-MeO-DMT toad medicine in Chicago. The guys have some laughs and some revelatory moments discussing their exploration of the conscious and unconscious mind. For more information, visit www.shamansoftheglobalvillage.com.

Much like the Idiots, Jeremy young is a creator and thinker. He is a writer, a future filmmaker, and a fan of stuff. The guys talk writing, directing, Star Wars, and chocolate muffins. Plus, Jeremy offers some constructive criticism of the Idiots latest passion project. This episode is sponsored by Loot Crate and GameFly.

Do you like pot? Well, we have the show for you. Sam (or Samuel for the professionals in the crowd) is a connoisseur of sorts. The Idiots chat about the green stuff as well as performing, making it through the shit hole of life, and Allison Janney! This episode is sponsored by Loot Crate and GameFly.

When in doubt, bring in a good friend for a repeat guest. This week is the return of Sabareesh Sundaravel: college buddy, app creator, and resident Indian. They laughed, they yelled, and they almost cried. It got pretty deep. Plus, a tribute to the late Tom Petty.
