Die Cast Dreams & Halloween Screams with Gravity Throttle Racing

Published on: 19th October, 2025

This week we’re joined by Mark from Gravity Throttle Racing — the mastermind behind one of YouTube’s most exciting die-cast racing channels! Mark explains why adult die-cast racing has exploded in popularity, how he manages to do all the voices, camera work, and storytelling himself, and even shares insider tips for entering mail-in track races. Plus, we get a behind-the-scenes look at how he built his now-famous custom racing track.

(51:11) In our second segment, it’s Halloween season — and that means candy rankings! We run your favorite trick-or-treat sweets through our “70s Vs 80s” ranking system. Will your go-to candy land in the Miracle on Ice Gold Medal tier or sink to Elvis Dying on the Toilet status?


Finally, in “People Who Died,” we honor the lives of two absolute legends who couldn’t have been more different — but each left their own unforgettable mark on pop culture.
