In this episode of Diecast Breakdown, we sit down with the one and only Jerry Wayne Longmire—stand-up comic, car enthusiast, Hot Wheels Legends Tour judge, and creator of the viral Truck Astrology series. From growing up in a junkyard to becoming a fan-favorite on the comedy circuit, Jerry brings a lifetime of automotive stories, laughs, and heartfelt insight to the table.
We talk about the deep emotional bonds people have with their cars, how diecast collecting fuels nostalgia, and the winding path that led Jerry from nuclear safety instructor to podcasting storyteller. Whether it's his love for oddball vehicles, his thoughts on EVs (spoiler: he’s got opinions), or how he brings car culture to life through comedy, Jerry keeps it real, relatable, and ridiculously fun.
