4 Guys, 7 Events! Honestly it could be more... we lost count of Kenny's back to back weeks of events. But all of us have been attending events all over the U.S. and have a lot to talk about. We're a little late this week, just the difficulty in syncing up 4 schedules and prioritizing all of us being here when we record. But we are happy to report that Brian is back after sleeping through the last episode. So lot of catching up, digging into Nick and Brian's scale projects, some new builds, and lots and lots of events, plus some news thrown in for good measure. As always... thanks for listening!

We're Back! We had every intention of waiting till after IRCHA to record again, but turns out we can't keep our mouths shut that long! Too much excitement for NATS, IRCHA, and the hobby in general. So the crew is back to catch up on what we've been up to in our month off and a little about what's to come. As always... thanks for listening!
