This is an IHeart podcast.

Go behind the wheel and under the hood on everything automotive with high-speed stuff from how stuff works.com.

Hello, Scott Benjamin, auto editor, HowStuffWorks.com? How you doing?

I'm all right. That was a pretty smooth intro, Ben. Thanks, man. How you doing? All right.

That was a pretty smooth intro, Ben.

Thanks, man.

I've been working on my smoothness.

You know, I've been reading up on some things about how to become more eloquent, how to sound more approachable, more intelligent.

I guess we should tell our listeners here, boy, do we have a hard time with titles on this show?

Yes, we do. God bless, Jerry.

Yeah, we always have a hard time figuring out exactly what to call our podcast. But this one's pretty simple because we're just going to talk about slot cars today.

Yes. Did I pull the rug right out from underneath there? Did I steal your... You didn't pull the rug, man. You rolled the red carpet out. This is the kind of mind reading that makes us podcast partners. Well, you look excited about this one. Is that right? I am, man. I'm probably about 30% coffee and 70% excited that's not bad I guess no it's it's

actually we just ticked up to 73% excited but I think we'll I think we'll get we'll find this

more more interesting as we go but you know what you know what let's not take it too fast got

let's let's let's start off with the regular logical way

as you tried to start off and then we talked about carpet i'm sorry well i tell you it's it's tough

because we're both interested in this we we both had slack cars when you were young um i'm pretty

sure that they're still rattling around in my mom's basement somewhere oh yeah um the slack car set i'm sure

it doesn't work of course but um it's there and i don't know i just have really good memories of

you know christmas morning with my slack car set you know brand new slack car set oh yeah that's pretty

awesome what about you same same same same i also got one for christmas um but you know maybe we'll get into those parts. Yeah, yeah. Because for our listeners here who don't know what they're talking about, you know, we talked. We talked about the title, what are slot cars? And we picked that because that's the first question. Yeah, sure we are. Here three minutes into it, and we're telling them what they are, okay? So, slot cars, basically what slot cars are, we'll just keep it real simple, scale model

cars that are on a track that has two separate courses, I guess.
