    Send us a text Episode 41 - The Holiday Year End Special and Top Gun Debate with Whitey from the ModelGeeks Podcast In the year end Holiday Special, the guys are once again joined by Adam Jackson to talk about the recent Turkey Shoot, Holiday Auction, and how people outside the hobby view it and the people who do it.    It wouldn't be a Holiday Special if the guy didn't talk about what they want for Christmas and Hanukkah, The Not So Secret Santa, and their hobby resolutions for 2026.  There are no outtakes in this episode, and is unedited as much as possible to keep everything in as it happened....and it is funny.  Make sure to stay until after the end holiday music for a real funny debate between Rob Riv and Whitey from the ModelGeeks Podcast to finally see what is the better movie...the original Top Gun or its sequel, Top Gun Maverick.   It's a hell of a lot of fun so make sure to listen and enjoy!

    Episode 40 - Why We Do This Hobby with Special Guest Matt McDougall

    Send us a text Episode 40 - Why We Do This Hobby with Special Guest Matt McDougall In this episode, Matt McDougall from Doogs Studio joins the Insanity to talk about his time in the hobby as well as his Doogs Studios 3D Printing company.  Jeff Herne also sits in on the show while Justin goes on his ghost hunt.  The guys first talk about why they do this hobby and how the hobby gives back to them.  Topic 2 gets a little more hectic calling out those who could be considered trophy "whores" in this hobby, this could offend some, but that is the intention.  This is a great show with some great laughs and content.  So take a listen, enjoy, and have some laughs....

    Episode 39 - Ignorance, Arrogance, or Stupidity...Or Maybe it's Just All Three with Special Guest Insider Tim Rhine

    Send us a text Episode 39 - Ignorance, Arrogance, or Stupidity...Or Maybe it's Just all Three with Special Guest Insider Tim Rhine On this Episode, the Insanity Crew talk to Tim Rhine whose model was the one that was manhandled at the recent PatCon Show.  This discussion adds more detail and insider information regarding the discussion from Episode 38 and the issue of these IPMS judges touching models regardless of what the rules say.  The discussion gets heating, off the rails at times, but stronger heads prevailed....maybe.  The guys then talk about why it's good to display your work on a base and how it can add to your overall presentation.  There are also 2 fun interviews from Armorcon edited into the show.  One with Aleasha Digman (Slay the Gray) and another with our good friend Tim Rothenberger.  Some really fun and cracy outtakes at the end so make sure to stay for them at the end...
