| 6/2/26 | ![]() Real (Shelter) Talk with Kristi and Melinda | Want the best kind of uncontained chaos? Bring back two of the most energetic, outspoken, and incredibly badass guests (who are besties) and give them mics, and have them talk about the pitfalls and problems in the shelter world, and you get this. Listen as Kristi, the Doggy Daycare Idiot, and Melinda, The Rescue Idiot, talk shelters with Kent and Cory. It gets good. Unhinged, all over the world, but good. Lots of talk about how to make a good shelter and why some places fail their dogs.

| 5/26/26 | ![]() Ain't Dog Walking Funny with Rebecca Jaffe | Holy cow, folks! We have a great episode in store this week. The Idiots welcome comedien/musician/roast master/peak awesome human being Rebecca Jaffe to talk about dog walking. For a lot of people, dog walking is just a vehicle for a romcom couple to meet, but for some, it's a way to make ends meet and allow busy people the chance to have their dogs get exercise. They discuss how dogwalking works, different apps (think Tinder or Uber, but for dogwalkers), then move into more important topics, such as the best worst movies, and finish up with a few (semi-animal related) songs. Rebecca really is the best. Check her out! https://www.rebjaffe.com/ https://www.instagram.com/reb_jaffe/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/5uvqAQAGoBQo9qh3zSscFO | — | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | ![]() Long Live Dog with Dr. Kevin Toman | Disclaimer While we allow and welcome differing views and scientific data based opinions on the show, it is important for us to make clear that we have not tried any of the supplements or dietary plans with any of our dogs, nor did Dr. Kevin give any compensation for having him on the show. The opinions and statements made in this episode do not in any way reflect the beliefs or mindsets of the crew at Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots. Good Tuesday, and we have a fun episode for you. Dr. Kevin, the Longevity Idiot, joins the The Common Idiot and the Associate Producer Idiot for a talk of how to lengthen your pet's lives. I mean, who would NOT want more time with their furry companion. They discuss things such as limiting joint and fall impacts, healthy lifestyles, diets, and other ways for Fido to live a healthier and happier (and longer) life. We also talk cheeseburgers, so, there's a long ways to go for us. https://helpingpetslivelonger.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqr51hq35KWnythXa3ZaK0zHNcBNZ-qech7MnAx9jHFmSG1n6lf https://www.instagram.com/thelongevityvet/ | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() Kent Doesn't Do Worms | I have to say, sometimes something worming its way into your heart is not a good thing. Case in point, heart worms, the topic this week. Kent and Cory talk preventatives, symptoms, and other random tangents. The only time you should not have heart worm prevantitives, or have any concerns for your dog regarding heart worms, is if you live somewhere that mosquitoes exclusively do not live and will never be. If that doesn't describe your locale, take care of your doggo's heart. | — | ||||||

| 2/17/26 | ![]() Prion, Pry Off | Happy Tuesday, and welcome back. All three Idiots are present to talk about Prions (pronounced Pry-Ons, unless you don't like the taste of Freedom, then it's Pree-Ons) and how folded proteins can affect the brain. Other notable moments is Cory doing a (sounds like a capella but the mic did not pick up his guitar over his voice...you'd think the Idiot Musician would know how mics work, but apparently not) parody of "Mad World" and The Doctor Idiot having the bejeezus scared out of him by his mom. | — | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | ![]() Horsin' Around With Dr. Lord (not THAT Lord, though) | Are you ready for some really cringe jokes that make Dr. Kent want to play in traffic, followed by some really great and inciteful discussions about horse medicine? Then we've got an episode for you. This week, The Idiots talk with Dr. Natalie Lord (who does not turn water into wine, much to our disappointment) about the fun, the frustration, the pride, and the problems with being a horse vet. Most is done ambulatory, so travelling on site, and sometimes the trips can take up nearly the entire day. However, it is rewarding, always. | — | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | ![]() This Episode Is Very Boarding | Welcome welcome! This has been a crazy season. The first half was as long as our longest season. We took a break, and now we are back again. Man, it always feels good to take some time off. While it may not seem like it, the three Idiots really put in a lot of effort, and it takes a lot of effort to sound this relaxed, honestly. We're proud of what we do, but sometimes the batteries need to recharge. Anyway, that aside, we are joined by Kristi, franchisee/owner of Hounds Town Fayetteville. We talk about the care that goes into making sure your pooch has the best time at doggy daycare and boarding, the behind the scenes so people can get a grasp just how hard and time consuming this job can be, the joys of the grind, and somehow, we all stay on topic because Kristi is as much a music and record nerd as Cory. If you are in the Fayetteville area, Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots highly recommends Hounds Town Fayetteville (I'm sure all the locations are top tier, they have a great vetting and training process, but Kristi is a friend and we trust her 100%, since she is a peak human). Check them out on Facebook or Instagram@houndstownfayetteville, or call them at 910-853-0234. | — | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | ![]() The Reign of Reindeer | Parents, bring the kids around for this one! They'll be excited to hear it, and for a VM4IBI first, there is no cursing at all! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever you believe and celebrate. For a midseason finale, The Idiots (all three, including Merry Bethmas, the Associate Producer Idiot) talk vet med on reindeer. At least, the first half is, until Cory gets a text from a guy calling himself "Santa" and asks us to talk about his 9 reindeer. Beth, who is the Christmas Reindeer expert, teaches us even more about the reindeer that help Santa deliver millions of presents around the world each Christmas Eve night! Don't want to miss this, lest you might end up on the naughty list, like Dr Kent and Cory! Also, apologies for the sound quality for Kent's parts-he left his microphone at home, and is somehow convinced his AirPods work just as well. We will be taking a short break for holiday festivities, but will be back early 2026. This season has been groundbreaking for us in so many way, including the fact that we have already done more episodes that we typically do in a full season, have had some collossal guests, and have expanded the brand to 3 total Idiots. Also, you may hear that we have added in some advertisements. We have partnered with Libsyn and with Audacy for advertisements. We don't necessariy endorse anything that has been put with our episodes for ads, but frankly, we simply sold out. That said, we have purposely only added ads to the front and back of every episode, at least for now, as we have always aimed for our show to feel like a sit down chat, not an overly produced slick show. We appreciate all of your listeningship, and hope that you come along for the next chapter of the show. We do this because you do what you do. Thank you so much, and we'll talk with you next year. | — | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | ![]() Private and Public Clinic with Dr. Xanda | Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a private and private vet clinic is? Listen in this week with our friend Dr. Xanda Fuhrken, who has been in both worlds, as we compare and contrast the worlds. We also talk about the large conglomerates that masquerade as a small town vet clinic and how to find out if they are, should you wish. We also somehow give a shout out to Shelby, Xanda's sister, so check her out on TikTok @shelbolognapepperonipizza. Worth it. | — | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | ![]() Pet Trash Pandas | Howdy, listenerlings!! This week's episode is a fun one. Beth, The Associate Producer Idiot joins our discussion with our new friend Raffaela Lesch, PhD, who was the lead researcher in studying trends showing that raccoons are following a similar path that wolves did en route to becoming dogs. The good news, this means that trash pandas may become domesticated, possibly self-domesticated, to be pets. Ya know, little bandit masked housemates! The bad news, unless you plan to live for another 10k+ years, you likely will never own one. Does anyone have a number for a cryogenic deep freeze person? Dogtor Kent may be interested. The discussion is lively, fun, relaxed, and just an all around good time. If you want to read the nitty gritty details, check out Raffaela's research at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12983-025-00583-1 https://www.raffaelalesch.com/ | — | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | ![]() Not One More Vet | Today is Giving Tuesday, and what a fortuitous timing for this episode to drop (trust me, Cory did not plan it this way, it's just stupid luck). The Idiots sit down with Gigi Tsontos and Jenny Glasgow, executive director and president of the board, respectively, of Not One More Vet, or NOMV. It's hard exactly to pin down what NOMV is, but as a very basic description, they are an incredibly important group, coalition, movement that gives veterinary professionals (from the lead doctors and owners of clinics to techs to cleaning crews) resources, education, and a collective to focus on mental health. NOMV is saving lives, enriching lives, and making the veterinary world a better place. Happier vets mean happier pets. This episode does have to talk about the dark side, the ones lost, and this helps bring more understanding and appreciation to the light. We Idiots are incredibly humbled to have been able to spend an hour talking with Gigi and Jenny about an organization they are clearly so (deservedly) proud of that the world absolutely needs. As this is Giving Tuesday, as previously mentioned, please find it in your heart, if you can, to donate to https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5BQGXT8YNKUH4. A little bit goes a long way, and they explain where some of the funds go in the episode. Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots wholeheartedly endorses NOMV and cannot say enough good about them. https://nomv.org/ www.chubbydognation.com for weightloss solutions for your pet, if they're a little on the chubby side. | — | ||||||
| 11/25/25 | ![]() Wobbles the Wonder Cat | So, against his wishes, Cory the Common Idiot has a cat. Her name is referred to as Silver or Silvie in the episode, but she is actually named Wobbles the Wonder Cat, because it annoys Amber, the Brain Witch Idiot. Anyway, Wobbles is extra special because she has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. This basically makes basic movements slightly...off. A wobbly kitty, if you will. The Idiots discuss her condition, almost give away the story on how she ended up in the Common Idiot's household (a story for a later time), and the condition of cerebellar hypoplasia, what it does, why it affects movements, and Kent's stupid fingers. | — | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() Beth Was An American Girl Vet Pro (Who Left The Wildflowers to Run Down A Dream In Africa and Germany) | 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. | — | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | ![]() VPAs | 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! | — | ||||||
