Episode S2E26 - Let's Catch Lightning in a Bottle

About this episode

The hosts and guests engage in a TV theme song guessing game while discussing listener calls and bizarre news stories.

The hosts of "Collective Loathing" (Felix, #Hollywood and Silver Fox) open with their Gen X–style podcast intro, introduce special guest Uncle Honest Andy from Florida, and plan a TV theme song guessing game with returning guest Drama Mama. They play listener calls, including one calling out "Major Mike" for blaming everything on Biden, a parody call about "fish sticks" and not eating babies, and a long hockey rant praising goalie Grant Fuhr. In "World Burns," Hollywood covers a pet red-tailed boa named Pablo escaping during a labor emergency in Florida, a viral claim about washing underwear in a hotel coffee maker, and a Kentucky arrest involving alleged sex with a dead deer. The episode ends with a multi-round TV theme song trivia contest to the death. 00:00 Hotel Setup Chaos 00:30 Gen X Podcast Intro 02:29 Guests and Theme Song Game 06:07 Voicemails and Call-In Line 06:39 Major Mike Politics Call 07:55 Fish Sticks and Baby Eating Bit 10:11 Exec of the Week Hockey Rant 15:22 Drama Mama on the B Word 17:41 World Burns Segment Begins 18:18 Florida Boa Breakout 21:27 Hotel Coffee Maker Underwear 24:52 Kentucky Roadkill Scandal 30:42 TV Theme Song Challenge Starts 35:21 Round One…
