Dr. Beckett, along with co-hosts John Newman and Brody the Kid on a recent Saturday morning episode of Hobby Hotline, discuss hobby safety after a report of a dealer being a registered sex offender, arguing promoters with national brands should require applications and permission for background checks as a business safeguard and deterrent, while also urging parental supervision and kids’ personal safety awareness. Brody agrees background checks are reasonable and advises kids to limit personal information. The conversation shifts to The National, where Dr. Beckett describes how he begins preparation for the next National the day after the past National, thus immediately thereafter, treating other shows as “batting practice,” plans who to see, and previews the confusing Chicago floor layout.00:00 Oh YaAAS Advisor Role02:15 How They Connected03:24 Making It Official04:55 Show Safety Concerns05:34 Promoter Background Checks07:49 Kid and Parent Safety Tips10:51 Card Shows vs Disney11:53 Families at The National12:38 Prepping for Nationals14:09 Navigating Chicago Layout
