Episode 53 — Live from Armorcon: Lots of Guests, No Script, No Edits, and Absolutely No Supervision! What happens when you give Rob Riv a microphone, surround him with a bunch of modelers, throw out the script, and leave absolutely nobody in charge? You get Episode 53 of the Modeling Insanity Podcast! Coming to you LIVE from Armorcon 2026, this episode is an unfiltered, unscripted, and completely unsupervised collection of hobby talk, questionable conversations, relentless ball-busting, and enough nonsense to make the Armorcon organizers seriously reconsider inviting us back! Segment 1 — Testing, Testing… Is This Damn Thing On? Rob Riv kicks things off by pretending he knows how to operate the recording equipment while chatting with Ken Shafer and Craig Jarboe about what they brought to Armorcon, their latest modeling adventures, and whatever other nonsense comes to mind. It’s a great way to start the show, assuming anyone remembered to turn the microphones on! Segment 2 — Chris Green Is Sober… Somebody Check His Pulse! The lovable Chris Green slides into the cohost chair alongside Rob Riv as Lou Ursino and Shaun Pekar join the insanity. The guys discuss the hobby, their projects, and the shocking revelation that Chris Green has decided to stay on the wagon for Armorcon! Yes, you read that correctly. Chris Green. Sober. At a model show. We’re still waiting for independent confirmation. Naturally, this doesn’t sit particularly well with resident brewmaster Shaun Pekar, who takes Chris’s newfound sobriety as a personal insult to the brewing industry. Meanwhile, Rob makes a heartbreaking confession: his regular cohost Steve Santucci will NEVER love him the way Chris Green does. It’s an emotional moment that absolutely nobody asked for. Segment 3 — The Zoukei-Mura Incident: Dr. Dave, We Haven’t Forgotten! Chris Green remains firmly planted in the cohost chair as Floyd Bazin and Dr. Dave Morris join the festivities. Things quickly go off the rails when Rob and the gang confront Dr. Dave about the now-infamous “Zoukei-Mura Incident” at the IPMS Nationals in Fort Wayne. What happened? Who was responsible? Will Dr. Dave ever live it down? Probably not, especially if Rob has anything to say about it! Once the interrogation ends, Floyd brings some much-needed credibility to the conversation, discussing his years in the modeling hobby and his experience with figure painting. Actual useful modeling information somehow manages to sneak into the podcast. We apologize for this temporary lapse in programming. Segment 4 — Vietnam, Plastic Models, and Cranky Old Bastards! Next up, Bill Cross, Jim Guld, and Dan Rothenberger join Rob and Chris for a great conversation about Vietnam-era modeling, the hobby, and the fine art of becoming a cranky old man. The guys share their experiences, opinions, and plenty of laughs while proving that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean growing up. Think of it as a meeting of the Modeling Insanity Senior Citizens Advisory Board, only with more plastic, fewer filters, and absolutely no respect for one another! The Grand Finale — Somebody Please Pull the Plug! Just when you think the madness is finally over, Chris Green, Justin Ryan, and Brad Belsheim join Rob to bring this train wreck safely into the station. Or at least somewhere near the tracks. The ball-busting continues, the insults fly, and the guys attempt to wrap up a show that probably should have come with a warning label. One show. A revolving door of guests. Zero preparation. Absolutely no adult supervision. Episode 53 is everything you’ve come to expect from Modeling Insanity: great people, great hobby conversations, inappropriate humor, and a bunch of grown men who apparently never matured past the age of twelve. So grab your favorite beverage, pull up a chair at the bench, and enjoy this special LIVE edition from Armorcon 2026!
