Pokèmaster Troy Osborn

Troy Osborn began a simple life in Pallet Town in the 1980’s. From a young age, Troy knew there was only one thing he wanted to be: A Pokèmon Trainer. One day the local Professor was handing out the first Pokèmon for young aspiring trainers, but Troy overslept and missed his chance at a Pokèmon. Disheartened, but not defeated, Troy retained his love of Pokèmon. Now-a-days you can find him still talking about them on the podcast.

Colin Giffy

Colin is both the youngest member of The Idiot Savants and the youngest of 3 brothers. As a kid, he had to fight for any time spent gaming since his brothers would hog the family’s gaming machines. He brings that fighting spirit to the podcast and to the myriad of shooters you can find him playing. His passions include VR and Taco Bell. He is a part time streamer and has a knack for cinematography.

Malcolm Wilson

Malacom is like Pegasus from Yu-Gio-Oh. Is he a hero? Anti-hero? Mysterious benefactor? Why does he have an Egyptian eye thing? Once you learn the answers to these questions, you are simply left with more questions. He enjoys making most of the gameplay videos for our team and chainsawing people in half. In Gears of War. Jesus, did you think I meant in real life? That’s fucked up.

Sam

Sam The Babbi is one of the founding members of The Idiot Savants and co-creator of the Crazy Train of Thought podcast. While not as into gaming as some of the other crew members, Sam brings a passion for anime and an almost unfortunate level of enthusiasm for Lord of the Rings. Like, you listen to how much stuff he knows about Lord of the Rings and think, “Man, if he actually put any of that time to good use, we would probably have a supervillain on our hands.”
