About this episode

Eric Zane and Christian Bladt discuss Stephen Colbert's podcast with late night competitors during the writers' strike and various current events.

Eric Zane and Christian Bladt take a look at Stephen Colbert bringing all of his late night competitors together for the reunion nobody wanted: Strike Force Five, the podcast they all did during the writers' strike. All eyes are on Philadelphia after a weekend where both the Sixers and Flyers were swept, plus they've got Elmo in the booth at a Phillies game and Blippi in studio for the Fox Philadelphia morning show, where they also have a crossover of epic proportions with one of our favorite content creators from the Philly area. Marco Rubio has trouble fielding questions from reporters, President Trump has a problem staying awake while bears from coast -to-coast have to be tranquilized.
