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!

For Felix Kwong, @tarmacworks is a dream job come true. Always a fan of cars large and small, the opportunity to create his own brand of cars was too good to pass up, but while it is his company, he makes sure that his team has plenty of input when it comes to cars and designs. He welcomes collaborations with all sorts of brands and creators, making Tarmac Works one of the most dynamic brands in the game. We talk with Felix about Tarmac Works getting into Grand Prix racing, the Tarmac Works commitment to giving back, and Mark makes Felix an offer he can't refuse! 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?
