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.

While the Junkyard Joust channel is relatively new, Aaron Yonda is no stranger to YouTube. His previous projects including the hit "Chad Vader" series in the early days of the platform and Beer and Boardgames on the @blamesocietyfilms channel have collected millions of views and nearly a quarter-million subscribers. So why create a completely separate channel dedicated to crashing tiny cars? We sit down with Aaron to talk about the journey to jousting, where the inspiration arose, how the community is responding, and where he sees his project going (possibly a town near you!). From vintage Hot Wheels to mint-fresh Auto World castings to rare RLC editions. Any car in Aaron's collection could find itself in line for the crucible of diecast combat. Aaron shares why no car is safe and offers some inside tips and tricks on building your ultimate jousting jalopy. Don't miss it!

"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?

There are few automotive authors that can achieve the prolific level of publications as Giles Chapman. Giles has written over 50 published works on cars large and small including works for Top Gear and DK. In his lates book, Giles breaks down the complicated rivalry between Britain's three top diecast manufacturers in the 1970s and why it changed quicker than anyone could have guessed. The ripples of that competition are still felt today. Plus Giles has a truly remarkable favorite diecast to show us that you won't want to miss!

If you can think of a car related job, @Fireball Tim Lawrence has done it in full scale and miniature as well. From the 1989 Batmobile to Herbie the Love Bug, Fireball has had his hand in hundreds of iconic film and TV moments AND had his designs featured on a run of Johnny Lightning Diecasts (and those aren't even the most interesting things he's done). The living Dieast Hero returns to chat some more about working and living in Hollywood design and car culture, some of the amazing folks he's met working as a designer, and the philosophy that's empowered him to keep following his dreams.
