About this episode

The episode discusses nostalgic boyhood toys and features humorous listener interactions and stories.

The Gen X podcast Collective Loathing returns from a hiatus with Felix and #Hollywood (later joined by Silver Fox), discussing plans to be more "professional," possibly doing longer episodes every other week, and asking for listener feedback via voicemail. After reacting to a heated listener message about disliked movie characters and briefly debating which Golden Girl was "hot," they run the "World Burns" segment featuring stories about cosplayers selling "fresh feet juice" at an anime con, a Myrtle Beach detective arrested for pointing a gun at a coworker over microwaved fish, and a Michigan woman found concealing a full bottle of Pinot Grigio while being booked into jail. The main topic is the "Mount Rushmore" of boyhood toys—Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and He-Man—sharing nostalgia, toy history, and personal favorites. 00:00 Gen X Podcast Intro 01:14 Back From Hiatus 02:09 Feedback And Voicemail Line 03:02 Summertime Catch Up 04:00 Mount Rushmore Of Toys 05:48 Voicemails And Golden Girls 11:30 World Burns Segment 12:29 Fresh Feet Juice Story 19:59 Fishy Microwave Meltdown 25:43 Prison Wallet Wine Bust 31:07 Classic Toy Commercials 33:50 Star Wars Toyline Deep Dive 39:58…
