You Big Dumb Idiot

We beam in Elisabeth Clem, x-pert in The X-Files, all things Sculler and Muldo, and exactly what kind of parents would let one kid get abducted and name the other kid Fox. Feat. a round of Monster of the Week on Fleek AND mild to very major spoilers.*

*TO AVOID MAJOR SPOILERS (or "spoilers," seeing as the show ended thirteen years ago), skip 31:10 - 35:40, OR just get Netflix already, god MOM

Hit on-air personality Maggi Mayfield walks in live, radio voice and all, to teach a couple of podcast plebes about theater of the mind (instead of the butt) and how she keeps radio lyfe popping in 2015. Feat. a round of Cuba Gooding Jr.

‘ELLO, GUVNAHS, BLOKES AND EDNAS! David Butler joins Andrew and Lindsey to explore a historic, dynamic musical landscape while some pervert films it all for television. Feat. a round of I Wanna Fold Your Sand… guvnah. #sorryciliving

Comedian Esteban Gast joins Andrew and Lindsey in the studio and nothing at all hilarious happens and it is all very boring and mundane and y'know what, you should probably just skip this one and delete this podcast and, heck, throw your computer right in the garbage. Feat. a round of Heckleberry Finn.

When Isaac Arms of Heirship Records stops by, the members of tweecore shoegaze band of gays Mullet Over take their chance to handshake with the local label and discuss how the musician went from making tapes in his bedroom to releasing records from his living room. Feat. an unrelated, yet passionate, round of Meat Safety Dot Org and a totally unqualified equine theme.

Newly jobless and with nothing to lose, Lindsey binges on Sleepy Creek wine and bands together with the still-employed Andrew to rename the podcast, complain about cover letters, dilute themselves for public acceptance, and prepare Lindsey joys and clinical depressions of unemployment.

If you’ve never listened to You Big Dumb Idiot before, for the love of God, either don’t or do start here! Eschewing YBDI's typical cutting-edge journalism and electric camaraderie, join Andrew and Lindsey on a lush tour of the stuff that got cut in 2014, including the invention of the tampad, a literal baby winning an Olympic medal, former ghosts; and guests who smoke hash, get yelled at by method actors, and constantly confuse Ice-T with Ice Cube.

Appetizer expert and wonderful human Michelle Hyde arrives in the YBDI studio bearing all manner of cheeses and whiskey-soaked delights to teach Andrew and Lindsey how to navigate the delicious (and adorable) realm of tiny foods. Feat. a round of Fancy Appy Party.

Local (politics) junkie and very excellent sport Sam Shore campaigns by the studio to buy Andrew’s vote with sandwiches, pander to the young people (ages 4-5), and discuss his impressive grassroots and carrot-roots campaign to run for Champaign City Council. Feat. a round of There He Is, Mr. City Council Member. 

TV personality Joe Barlow joins Bleeding Gums Murphy & the YBDI Orchestra to share his thesis on Jay Leno, almost losing an Emmy to a raccoon puppet, and the ongoing cultural relevance of good old-fashioned honest conversation (and also white guys). Feat. a round of Password in the Style of Jimmy Fallon.
