Podcasts about Hot Wheels

We thought we'd start with Eden Park given that the number of concerts allowed annually at the Auckland stadium will almost triple. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown, and Nick Sautner, CEO of Eden Park, among others, confirmed the details of a State of Origin fixture at a press conference at Eden Park this morning, along with the news that Eden Park will host up to 12 large concerts, 20 medium sized concerts per year on any day without having to go through the hoops of resource consent. At the moment, they can host 12 concerts and they can't be from more than six different artists or acts. So Ed Sheeran does two nights or the Hot Wheels does two days, but it can only be six artists or acts. Nighttime sport will also be allowed on any day including Sundays as long as the games finish by 10 30 And the first State of Origin match outside Australia in 40 years. That must have taken some negotiating. It is a lot and it's very exciting for Auckland and indeed for New Zealand. It's expected the State of O will attract more than 10,000 international visitors from Australia and when they come, they spend. The changes to Eden Park's rules and settings follow an investigation into whether the current rules for the park as set down under the Auckland Unitary Plan are limiting economic growth. And Chris Bishop said the investigation had found that, well, yes indeed, the rules are overly restrictive, out of step with modern stadium use, and are directly constraining economic activity. Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner says Eden Park has shown it's more than capable of hosting big events and he's pleased the government's giving them the opportunity to make the most of the stadium. This weekend we've got the Edinburgh Tattoo. The Premier of Queensland came out yesterday and said $39 million of economic benefit. Jehovah's Witness delivered 3.5 million visitors to Auckland and New Zealand. So we are a strategic asset for New Zealand and a community asset for Auckland. I do want to acknowledge the community. We have over 97% support. This has been about engaging with the community, transparency, and also careful event management. Yes, so you can understand why he's excited. You can understand why a lot of promoters, festival goers, sports fans are excited. But I do feel for the residents who bought their homes in the area knowing what the rules were at the time they bought the houses. Now they have seen the rules change. But so many people around the country have seen their neighbourhoods change around them. They are not isolated in this. People who bought a home with a lovely house next door, one careful set of neighbours, all of a sudden it's a great big housing development and where there was one house there are now 12 That is a big change for a neighbourhood. Nothing stays the same. It makes absolutely no sense to have a stadium that is only used a few times a year. And I'd go further and say it's immoral to have that amount of land, prime land in the inner city, being underutilised. If you are not going to use it as a stadium, then have the trust give it over to the government and build a Kāinga Ora housing development, put more people into homes in a prime position next to work, near play. You can't have a stadium sitting there doing nothing. That makes no sense at all. And if you've got a motivated trust and a motivated CEO that wants to do as much as they possibly can, and they have contorted themselves trying to come up with different ways to make use of the stadium. Art in the Park, beautiful event, not a traditional use for a sports stadium, but a successful one. There are so many ways to use the stadium. I accept that there will be much more disruption for those who have bought there, and for those who bought when the rules were what they were, I can understand why you'd be a bit grumpy. Nick says 97% of the community's on board, which is a pretty good stat if that is so. You can't hold back that kind of economic growth, that kind of success, that kind of feel good atmosphere because 3% of the neighbourhood's grumpy and doesn't want to share. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. If your neighbourhood has changed and the rules have changed around you, can you understand the concerns that a few of the residents might have? For those who live in and around the area, is it going to be a win for you if you're a business? If you're a resident, can you put up with it for the sake of the wider good?

In this episode, Levi Harrill joins Matt in the studio for a conversation that blends nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of keeping hot‑rodding alive. Levi shares how his grandpa first pulled him into the car scene—starting with those 99‑cent Hot Wheels that sparked a lifelong obsession.He talks about his soft spot for pre‑war iron from the teens, 20s, and 30s, the truck that slipped through his fingers, and what he brought to the Rat Stock Build Off. Levi also breaks down the lineup of cars he had to choose from for the High Class Trash Invitational and the inspiration behind the vision he ultimately chased.Matt and Levi dig into how different generations approach their builds, the trial‑and‑error process of figuring out what works (and what definitely doesn't), and the emotional payoff of hitting that magical “running and driving” moment. They also shine a light on the car community—how inclusive, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely supportive it can be when people come together simply to enjoy their builds.And yes… they even talk about a town so small it has a dealership that sells both Ford and Chevy under one roof.This one's all about passion, people, and keeping the culture alive.

En el Radar Empresarial hemos examinado los resultados de Mattel, la compañía responsable de marcas tan icónicas como Barbie y Hot Wheels, que ha sufrido un fuerte castigo en bolsa tras el cierre del mercado. Sus acciones llegaron a caer más de un 30% en las operaciones posteriores a la publicación de unas cuentas que no cumplieron las expectativas. El beneficio neto correspondiente a 2025 se situó en 398 millones de dólares, lo que representa un descenso del 27% en comparación con 2024. Esta caída se explica, en parte, por la debilidad de las ventas, que retrocedieron un 1% a nivel global y hasta un 5% en Estados Unidos, su principal mercado. El entorno comercial ha sido especialmente complejo para el sector juguetero. La política arancelaria impulsada por Donald Trump impactó con fuerza en compañías que, como Mattel, concentran buena parte de su producción en países como China y Vietnam. Aunque la empresa confiaba en que la campaña navideña impulsara los resultados, el último trimestre de 2025 tampoco logró revertir la tendencia negativa: el beneficio trimestral cayó un 25%. Todo ello ocurrió a pesar de que la facturación aumentó un 7%, un crecimiento que quedó diluido por el incremento de costes derivados de la reorganización de inventarios y de la cadena de suministro. Frente a este escenario, el consejero delegado, Ynon Kreiz, mantiene un discurso optimista y defiende la gestión realizada. En mayo, la compañía ya había anunciado su intención de reducir la dependencia de China, que representaba el 40% de su producción. El objetivo es que ningún país concentre más del 25% de la fabricación, con el fin de limitar el impacto de futuros aranceles. Esta reestructuración ha supuesto un coste de 270 millones de dólares. Para compensarlo, Mattel ha aplicado subidas de precios en Estados Unidos y ha recortado promociones, procurando que aproximadamente la mitad de su catálogo se mantenga en torno a los 20 dólares. De cara a 2026, las previsiones tampoco han entusiasmado al mercado. La empresa anticipa un beneficio por acción de entre 1,18 y 1,30 dólares, por debajo de los 1,41 dólares registrados en 2025. Aun así, Mattel confía en nuevos proyectos para recuperar impulso, como el acuerdo con Paramount para lanzar productos relacionados con las Tortugas Ninja a partir de 2027. Además, ha puesto en marcha un programa de recompra de acciones por valor de 1.500 millones de dólares, que prevé completar a lo largo de 2025.

In this second conversation with Jon Fisch, Ophira Eisenberg and Jon settle into the daily mechanics of parenting two young kids while maintaining a working stand-up career, from navigating December birthdays, redshirting anxiety, and Malcolm Gladwell math, to the quiet shock of realizing your kid suddenly wants to walk to school alone. Fisch talks through the practical negotiations of comedy life now that bedtime matters—calling clubs to ask when he actually needs to arrive, setting a firm four-figure holiday minimum for skipping Passover, and learning how to sneak out of the house mid-Hot Wheels race without triggering tears. They compare notes on sibling dynamics as Fisch describes his daughter's recent 180 into devoted big-sister mode, reading books to her brother for an hour while grandparents watched football, and reflect on the strange intimacy of bringing a child to shows where she colors on the floor, doesn't look up once, and later proudly announces, “You were talking about me.” The episode threads through modern parenting pressure points—YouTube shorts bans, grocery store toy ambushes, American Girl's Hot Wheels crossover, and the slow realization that kids' programming is one story told with dogs, trucks, or monsters—before circling back to the moment Fisch explains why leaving for a gig feels hardest when his son suddenly has “a thousand things to say” as he's reaching for his coat.

Apple's latest project showcase put a surprising headline front and center: a live-action Matchbox movie. Frank breaks down the basics, including Cena playing a CIA agent who pulls his childhood friends into a globe-hopping mission, then explains why Hargrave's action style has him more interested than he expected. He also compares the vibe to the bigger, wilder Fast and Furious era while hoping this one stays gritty and tactile, more in line with Hargrave's work on Extraction and the kind of hard-hitting action Frank loves in Atomic Blonde. The big date to circle: it lands on Apple TV+ on October 9.00:00 Apple TV event highlights and the Matchbox announcement00:13 Plot setup, globe-trotting mission, and the Fast Five era comparison00:29 Why Hargrave's style makes this one worth watching00:42 Action reference points and what Apple seems to be aiming for01:01 Release timing notes and listener reactionsApple's Matchbox movie is positioned as a global action-adventure with a “friends get pulled back in” hook.Cena plays a CIA agent recruiting his childhood crew for a mission that escalates fast.Frank's interest rises mainly because Hargrave tends to make action feel more grounded and physical.The vibe is compared to the bigger, later Fast and Furious style, but with hope for a grittier execution.The current target is an Apple TV+ release on October 9, with theatrical details still unclear in the discussion.“Yes, Matchbox. The toys that when your mom brought them home, you said they ran out of Hot Wheels.”“The premise is Cena's character recruits his childhood friends for a global mission.”“He has a way of making these action movies a little bit more gritty, a little more tactile and real feeling.”“Let me know.

In this episode of Clemenz With a “Z,” I'm not talking about co-sleeping or parenting techniques as much as I'm talking about access:  who gets it, when, and what we teach our kids about belonging long before they have words for it. Sparked by two very confident but completely opposite Christian takes on kids sleeping in the bed, this episode moves past certainty and into something more human: fear at 2 a.m., Hot Wheels offered as currency for closeness, the exhaustion of real parenting, and the quiet ways children learn whether love is conditional or not. Hot Wheels at 2 A.M. is a reflection on presence before principle, discernment over formulas, and what it means to raise kids and build families without outsourcing our humanity.

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the conversation opens exactly where it should for a new year: questioning whether the word “master” needs to be retired from watch naming altogether, before immediately veering into geopolitical hypotheticals, Swiss invasion logistics, and the undeniable truth that Geneva traffic would stop any army dead in its tracks. Once the dust settles, the group dives headfirst into Seiko's latest releases, kicking off a familiar round of “guess the price” that once again proves Seiko pricing remains as unpredictable as ever, with King Seiko, Prospex Speedtimers, anniversary models, and Astron pieces all seemingly priced by different departments that may or may not be speaking to one another. From there, the discussion broadens into material choices, marketing language, sustainability footnotes, and the growing frustration with watches that feel overexplained yet under-justified. The episode then shifts gears into a full-fledged Omega marketing rant, unpacking celebrity placements, perceived popularity, and whether the brand has stopped explaining why its watches are actually good, before reluctantly admitting that Omega still makes excellent watches despite the noise. Things spiral further into horological absurdity with a deep dive into ultra-high-end independent watchmaking, including Roger Smith's painstakingly handcrafted Series 6 and the realities of six-figure handmade perfection. The back half of the show fully embraces chaos with the return of the Brand Death Wheel, debates over which brands deserve resurrection or oblivion, and a surprisingly passionate detour into vacuum cleaners, industrial design, and why some machines, much like watches, are built to last while others are just shiny distractions. As always, the episode wraps with sharp opinions, running jokes, and the lingering sense that no matter how much the industry changes, confusion, contradiction, and spirited debate remain the true constants.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review![00:00] Intro: Playing the "Guess the Seiko Price" game[00:48] Banter: Should "Master" be removed from watch names?[05:32] Discussion on new two-tone black and gold Seikos[09:50] Guessing the price: King Seiko KS1969[12:32] Critique of the new "movable lug" Seiko strap[13:51] Rant on "Leather Working Group" and sustainability marketing[17:25] Shock at the actual Seiko prices (Astron & Prospex)[20:10] Ariel's rant: Omega's celebrity-obsessed marketing[22:43] "Omega Corner": Trying to find technical positives for the brand[26:40] Review: Hautlence Sphere Series 3 (The "Muppet Strap")[31:23] Game: "Brand Wheel of Death" (Keep, Kill, Resurrect)[32:52] Brand 1: Brew Watches[33:16] Brand 2: Dornblüth & Sohn[33:43] Brand 3: Romain Jerome (Discussion on resurrecting it)[37:22] The Final Verdict: Resurrect RJ, Keep Brew, Kill Dornblüth[38:18] Tangent: The Kirby vs. Dyson vacuum cleaner debate[41:16] Highlights of the handmade Roger Smith Series 6[46:07] Browsing the Roger Smith configurator[48:20] Review: Atelier Wen Tantalum (Integrated bracelet)[54:45] Industry News: The decline of LVMH Watch Week events[56:14] Teaser: Ripley's upcoming review involving a tiny Hot Wheels car[57:44] Rating the episode's "Watch Content" vs. "Filler"[58:16] Final Debate: Kirby the vacuum vs. Kirby the Nintendo character[01:00:55] Closing remarks

Fifty years ago, being a kid in the early-to-mid 1970s felt like living in a different universe. In this episode, I take you back to banana seat bikes, skateboards, and disappearing for hours with nothing but a “be home when the street lights come on” rule. We'll talk about three-channel TV with no remotes, heavy wooden console sets, TV trays and TV dinners, one wall phone for the whole house, and how long-distance calls actually mattered. You'll hear what it was like when smoking was everywhere, airports had no security lines, convenience stores sold penny candy, and news came on a few times a day instead of 24/7. Plus, the fads, the posters, the dangerous playgrounds, the mixtapes recorded off the radio, cruising the strip, and the collections we obsessed over—baseball cards, comic books, marbles, Hot Wheels, and more. It's nostalgia with details you can almost smell—and a reminder of just how much has changed.Support the show

Adrian Holmes joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Bel-Air, the weight of stepping into Uncle Phil's shoes, and what it means for the series as it heads toward the end.Holmes breaks down how he approached Philip Banks as a real, layered man, balancing authority with vulnerability while still honoring the character fans grew up with. He also opens up about why this version of Bel-Air hit people so hard, especially as it tackled family, identity, and belonging in a modern Los Angeles lens.The conversation digs into legacy, including what Phil wants for Will and Carlton and why “letting them fly” matters as the story reaches its final stretch. Holmes also talks about the creative swing the show took, the writers' being in tune with the culture, and how the series found its own voice rather than chasing nostalgia.We also bounce into a fun detour on Holmes' other work, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, plus a quick dream chat about what kind of role he'd want if he ever jumped into something like a Hot Wheels movie.Bel-Air stars Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Coco Jones, Olly Sholotan, Akira Akbar, and Jimmy Akingbola.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis

In 1979, Mattel entered the console wars with the Intellivision, a machine that promised to outthink Atari with its 'intelligent television' design. This week, we explore how a toy company known for Barbie and Hot Wheels transformed into a technological powerhouse, creating one of the first true competitors to Atari's 2600. We discuss the innovations that made the Intellivision stand out, its 16-bit processor, unique keypad controllers, and focus on realism, and the missteps that led to its fall amid the 1983 crash. Our conversation dives into its visionary add-ons, the Blue Sky Rangers, and the legacy that still shapes console design today. Join us as we plug in and power on the story of Mattel's Intellivision on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 750 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls Today's guest is Michigan State Senator Mallory Mcmorrow.  Mallory has joined me a few times before and I really enjoyed this conversation Check out her Campaign Website and tell your friends in Michigan Meet Mallory McMorrow Mallory was raised with the small-town values she lives by today. Her front door was never locked, and kids from the neighborhood were always welcome to grab a snack, stay for dinner, or spend the night. Her mother worked full time, raised four kids and cared for her grandmother, who moved in when she was stricken with multiple sclerosis. The definition of hard work and selfless service, Mallory's mom still found time to bring the community together for an annual town-wide yard sale and take Mallory and her siblings to volunteer at the local soup kitchen. Following in her mother's footsteps, at 12 years old, Mallory got her first job serving coffee at BINGO night at the local volunteer firehouse. By 16, she was a manager at a local family-run grocery store. She worked as a bartender and in various jobs on campus as she earned her degree from the University of Notre Dame, where she was nicknamed “car girl” by her classmates and in her senior year won an international car design competition. But when she graduated in the middle of the Great Recession of 2008 with no healthcare, no job prospects, and student loans coming due, Mallory went from designing cars to spending a few nights sleeping in the backseat of one as she tried to land on her feet. Refusing to give up, Mallory became an industrial designer, creative director, and small business owner, working on concepts for everything from cars to Hot Wheels to documentary films to commercials, live events, and branding for local businesses. She never planned to enter the political arena, but fed up after the 2016 election – and driven by a belief that politics should be about service, not self-interest – she googled, “how to run for office.” Through sheer determination, she inspired hundreds of local volunteers to help her swing a Republican-held state Senate seat by 20 points, flipping a district that included Mitt Romney's home town. When a right-wing state senator baselessly referred to Mallory as a “groomer” in a fundraising email, she took to the floor of the Michigan state Senate and, in a now-viral speech, she memorably declared that, “we will not let hate win.” The speech showcased her courage and moral clarity, leading James Carville to say “I'd show this tape as an instructional video,” and the New York Times to label her “one of the Democratic Party's most promising young talents.”   She used her newfound platform to help flip control of the Michigan Senate for the first time in 40 years, then she got to work: strengthening unions and raising wages, getting rid of the retirement tax on seniors, expanding civil rights, repealing the state's 1931 abortion ban, banning child marriage, tackling gun violence, expanding affordable housing, feeding kids in schools, and so much more. Mallory will bring that same determination to deliver for Michigan families to the U.S. Senate. She and her husband Ray were married in Detroit's Eastern Market. Along with their young daughter and rescue dog, they're proud to call Royal Oak home.
