Glenn Beck Takes On His Idiot Friend—Live, on the Radio

We’ve all been in those mind-numbing, stomach-churning, sleep-inducing conversations with people whose brains seem to be smaller than their mouths. They’re always endlessly long, painfully agonizing and hopelessly futile.

Glenn Beck, host of a nationally syndicated radio program and a television show on Fox News and the #1 bestselling author of Arguing with Idiots, Common Sense, and The Christmas Sweater, finds himself in those debates all the time—and now you can hear how he wins them every time.

As millions of listeners have heard, Glenn’s arguments with his Idiot Friend live on the air have provided some of the funniest and most insightful moments on The Glenn Beck Program. Now, in the bestselling tradition of America’s March to Socialism, Glenn collects his most memorable on-air dimwit debates in IDIOTS UNPLUGGED, an original audio program unavailable in any other format. 

Glenn’s use of facts and reason to silence his Idiot Friend (played to know-nothing perfection by series regular Pat Gray) has become a popular highlight of his broadcasts. Offering the best of these exchanges, IDIOTS UNPLUGGED features Glenn’s winning arguments on everything from taxes to global warming to education to why Lindsey Graham is a big problem for the Republican party. After listening, you’ll never again worry about cocktail parties in Manhattan, date-nights in San Francisco, or sending your daughter off to Berkeley for college. 

A collection of radio segments that are both timely and classic, IDIOTS UNPLUGGED is a reminder of why no other broadcaster makes the truth as convincing and entertaining as Glenn Beck.

Beck makes his points but this is a tedious collection.

Duration: 1 hour, 15 minutes


Idiots Unplugged is a collection of promotional sketches that were aired on Beck's nationally syndicated radio show to promote his 2010 book Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government. Every sketch starts and ends with the same theme song (which means you get to hear it 15 or 16 times in an hour and 15 minutes of listening! Fun? No.)

Every sketch consists of...

A short, overpriced CD of clips from Beck's radio show. Basically, it's a bunch of little advertisements for the book, Arguing With Idiots. If you've read that book, there is no new information for you here. The topics are amusing, but some of them lack context and all of the "debating" is completely staged.

It was a fun audio book, but the music intro on every track was a bit annoying.

My only complaint was that it was too short. Guess I have to read the actual book to get all of it.

A series of short clips from Beck's radio show advertising his book Arguing With Idiots. Extremely funny.

Humorous. Some of the fat jokes were pretty good. The jingle is catchy and I woke up with it in my head.
