Happy Tuesday, and we have a show for you! The Idiots have a HUGE announcement, then discuss veterinary medicine differences around the globe (or across the board, if you're a flat earther), mainly focusing on rural Africa and Germany. They discuss making something out of nothing, regulations, and how the US could be better, and what a hyena kiss is. Also, lots of escaped thoughts, but that's just par the course for the Idiots.

This week, The Idiots discuss VPAs, or...ya know what, I am not going to tell you what a VPA is because it takes away the mystery. This is what they call in the show biz "a teaser". Are you interested? I hope so! Anyway, Dr. Kent compares VPAs to something similar in human medicine, and they discuss potential goods and bads of VPAs. Just listen. I'm really sleepy and have nothing in the creative tank. I mean, I named the episode "VPAs". Just lower your standards this once, please. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Meet Jae. They are an awesome listener/fan who reached out, has some things to say about being in the vet world as a rookie, sometimes scared, sometimes not knowing what to expect, but feeling their way through and getting better every day. Listen up, because they also talk about what it takes to be a great client and what to avoid to not be a boneheaded one! Plus, talks of bottle feeding kittens. So, pull up a seat at the proverbial table, grab a beer (except Jae, Jae will be drinking a soda or juice or something because they're a youngin'), and learn to not just respect your elders, but your younger generation, because they have something worth listening to.

Huge thank you, also, to Jae for this episode. We recorded it 3 times. The first two times, the files were lost (see previous episode in Spooky Season about why Cory has to use his wife's computer for the time being), this time, it recorded, but for some reason, our program ONLY worked with cell phones. Fate was not kind to us this time around. I will say, I am incredibly impressed with the sound quality I got from her AirPod Pros, and if Apple wants to sponsor us in the form of, say, a couple new MacBooks, some new AirPod Pros (especially for Kent), and a suitcase full of money (not milk), we would kindly accept!

Spooky Season is finally ending, and the Idiots end it with a fizzle. Piggybacking off of last week's Vampire and Tuberculosis episode, the discussion dives into more vampire legends, including the tie into wolves and bats, disease creating a weakness to sunlight, water and rabies, and how these and other misunderstandings with disease and how it spread directly impacted the lore of the classic vampires we know today. There literally was even a Great Vampire Pandemic. Fun times.

Keeping the Spooky Season eps rolling, Idiots Cory and Doctor Kent discuss Tuberculosis and the foundation of the modern vampire that has come from it. That's basically it. They talk about how not sexy tuberculosis is, both in what it does to the body (not just the lungs) and the bacterium. Stay vaccinated, stay safe, and don't handle dead bodies that died of an unknown disease without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

Also, Ellis makes another guest appearance.

Spooky season is halfway over, and the Idiots aren't going to let it go without a bite...of spooky! The boys discuss a few new cryptids, and talk about why they will not touch a skinwalker-out of respect.

Spooky Season continues, and this week, the Idiots discuss cryptid veterinary medicine on a couple of Michigan's cryptids, an NHL team's namesake, and the most famous goat sucker in the world (there's a "your mother" joke in there somewhere). Listen along, and try not to be too terrified!

We mention that there is a video version of this episode here, and there will be in the future. We just have to figure out the best way to go about this. Any AV nerds out there that would be willing to putting together eps for us? A million thanks in advance!

October is here, there for Spooky Season has begun! The boys dive into this in talking gibberish for an hour, loosely talking about the Snook Hook (or spay hook) inventor, James Howard Snook, who is as well known for his invention, and winning two gold medals in the Olympics, as he is for killing his mistress because it was in Ohio in the late 1920s and nothing else was really going on in that time. Stick with us for the next month as we get into the spooky.

The pet myths episode was so popular, we actually had a call to do a sequel, and much like every sequel, this one is much, much worse. The Idiots talk about the need to dominate your dog, teaching old dogs new tricks, ticks and heart worm prevention, human to animal medicine, and others.

The Idiots are back, baby!!!! They are returning, much to many people's disappointment, and they brought in a great guest. Dr Christien Bolden, influencer, Bayou vet, and mentor savante discusses mentorships, what to look and look out for (and this can apply to any mentorship, not just in the vet world), and finally takes the Angela Basset question seriously. Side note, she has blocked us on the socials, which is slightly discourteous. Anyway, we're glad to be back, we hope you tolerate the episode, and check out Dr. B's links!
