Episode 30 - The Baddest Podcast on the Planet

In this episode of Collective Loathing, three middle-aged Gen X hosts gather to discuss their experiences and memories as part of a 'forgotten generation.' They talk about growing up as latchkey kids, iconic cultural moments like 'Hands Across America,' and diving deep into the life and legacy of Mike Tyson. From his early hardships and outstanding boxing career to his controversial moments and cultural impact, the hosts share their thoughts and nostalgic reflections. The episode is filled with a mix of humor, candid commentary, and affectionate disdain as they also touch on current events, foodborne illnesses, and even a bizarre story of a 107-year-old woman with a horn. Join Felix, Silver Fox, and #Hollywood for a raw, unfiltered conversation about life, legacy, and loathing.   00:00 Introduction to Collective Loathing 01:13 Meet the Hosts 02:13 Gen X Icons: Mike Tyson 05:51 Hands Across America: A Nostalgic Look Back 10:19 Weird News: Tanning Bed Tragedy 14:38 Weird News: THC Pizza 19:52 Weird News: Horny Old Lady 25:19 Mike Tyson: Cultural Impact and Controversies 31:03 Mike Tyson's Early Life and Career 33:24 The Undefeated Streak and First Loss 34:54 Mike Tyson's Personal Life and Interests 38:42 Controversies and Legal Issues 46:03 The Infamous Ear Bite Incident 47:45 Reconciliation and Business Ventures 53:40 Mike Tyson's Legacy and Cultural Impact 59:03 Final Thoughts and Farewell
