Episode S2E24 - A Very Special Episode: Know Your Enemy

About this episode

The hosts discuss various topics including sitcom jokes, listener calls, and serious issues surrounding the Epstein files.

Felix, #Hollywood, and the Silver Fox open their Gen X comedy podcast with "very special episode" sitcom jokes, then take calls: one caller complains about missing last week with an "X-Fact," then delivers an X-Fact packed with Cool Runnings trivia, and Heather calls Felix out for breaking their nickname truce by calling her a "bitch." They run the "World Burns" segment with three stories: a 2026 trial on fecal microbiota transplants ("poop pills") as a possible aid to cancer immunotherapy, a France ER case involving a World War I shell stuck in a man's rectum that triggered a bomb squad response, and a Florida pickleball fight that led to injuries and felony charges. The episode turns serious with a trigger-warning discussion on the Epstein files, alleged redactions and coverups, distrust of media and disinformation, and speculation about political pressure and blackmail. The Silver Fox proposes withholding federal taxes as protest, while the hosts debate what accountability would look like and ask listeners to call in with lighter topic ideas for next time. 00:00 Gen X Rises: Welcome to Collective Loathing 01:45 A Very Special Episode: Sitcom Parodies & Getting Political 03:36…
