To know Hot Wheels is to know Larry Wood. For 40 years he designed some of the most iconic vehicles in diecast. Many of his designs are still available on the pegs today! From the Bone Shaker to the Purple Passion, Larry's vehicles have been recreated billions (yes, billions) of times. Larry sits down with us to chat about what he's up to these days and share some stories about his time at Mattel, and how passion and perseverance kept him going even when it seemed like Hot Wheels wouldn't make it. It's a fascinating conversation and we hope you stick around for the whole thing. We event meet Fluffy the shop cat, who has more behind the scenes access to Larry's projects at the secret location "Elwood Garage" than just about anyone else.

Buying and selling diecast cars is the most universal experience when it comes to this hobby. Whether you're collecting vintage redlines worth thousands or customizing junk cars found at a yard sale, money is changing hands. Buying and selling online is the easiest way to do this, but it can also be the most risky. Our guest, Freddy Boggs of House of Cars Virginia stops by to talk to us about the world of diecast retail. His shop boasts over 40,000 cars and Freddy has been buying and selling cars for years before opening one of the largest brick-and-mortar diecast retail shops in the United States. We'll talk about building the House of Cars brand, the epic Diecast Supercon show, and how you can grow your collection smartly and safely.

Diecast customizing is nothing new, but for Paul it goes back to before you could just Google answers to questions and find the parts you need in a second. @pauly7218 (aka "Fat Guy Productions) joins us to talk about how he started, stopped, and restarted his passion as a diecast customizer, how he's seen the YouTube side of the community change, and his tips and tricks to make diecast restoration or customization a walk in the park. Plus he shows us some of the best (and worst!) of his crafting and collecting hobbies. Enjoy the show, and as Paul says, "Be good." Find Paul here: @pauly7218

So, this episode didn't quite go as planned, but the show must go on! So David and I had a lovely meandering chat steered by our live audience as we discussed the new NBC Hot Wheels TV show and who it's REALLY for, RLC vs other premiums, the true costs of hunting diecast, and what it means to be a creator on YouTube. Join the mess!

Let's talk about this incredible auction coming up raising money for St.Judes children hospital. A big announcement on a sponsorship for the Datsun 510.

"Scalping" for the lack of a better word, is when opportunistic folks snatch up desirable diecast vehicles and flip them for much more than they paid for them. It's a common problems in many hobbies and in the world of diecast becoming harder and harder to find Super Treasure Hunts and other "chase" cars where they're meant to be found: on the pegs at the store. A recent video from @ShawnNicklaus has gone viral showing grown adults forcing open doors and fist-fighting over Super Treasure Hunts that had their card ruined in the process. When does this behavior end? We're talking live about possible solutions and we'll be taking your hot takes LIVE. Join us, shall you?
