Thank you to everyone that supports the show, we really appreciate it, 1 year ago, launching this show was so scary to me and I want to thank a few people. Chris, of course but also: Chapo Trap House for having me on a few times to promote, Jon Gabrus for coming on episode 3 and the doughboys for doing a very early episode, Mike and Jesse from Your Kickstarter sucks for coming on like a million times and the guys from Pendejo Time who had me on the show to promote very early on. Stefan and John from Blocked Party for always jumping in to help if we have a cancellation, Drew Spears for helping me get my archive and Tom Sexton for always being on the show. All of the guests that came on to a show that most of them have no idea what it is! My friends from the woods who were there during my meltdown. And again, I cannot overstate this enough, Thank you to Chris for doing this show and making it fun and encouraging me to try new things in my career.

Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. Guys, welcome to Guys. Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. Welcome to Guys. Welcome to Guys. A podcast about guys. Ryan, I'm doing it this week. About guys. I'm in charge. So welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys.

I'm your host, Chris. And with me, as always, is my co-host, the master of mega blocks, the king of Creo. It's Brian Quimby, everybody. Brian, thanks for joining us. So Chris, I have bought off-brand Legos. Mike sends me. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. And we can get into that. I've been on the forums. You cannot do that. So I take it you're not part of a lug then? We've been on the forums. You cannot do that. So I take it you're not part of a lug then?

No, I bought a Breaking Bad trailer. It was like the trailer from Breaking Bad. None of the pieces fit together. The instructions were so intuitive. Was it Creo or was it Mega Bloks? I don't think so. No, it wasn't Mega Bloks or Creo. It was the T1 on Amazon. And I can't remember.

That's really off-brand because the ones that I found, yeah, was the two standard ones are Mega Bloks and Creo. Creo is a Korean alternative. But yeah, that's very interesting because a lot of the purists that I've found said that, you know, you would be considered a real piece of shit for buying off-brand stuff. you would be considered a real piece of shit for buying off-brand stuff. But joining us on this episode, on this very special episode, I'll tell you what, there's only one guest that we would even consider having. He's our first guest ever. He's got a document filled with old men's penises, and his name is Mike Hale.

DP, what's up? What's up, boys? I can't find the one I bought because there's like so oh here it is here it is uh camper for breaking bad rv compatible with lego it's not creative camper van so basically it's not for lego yeah the pieces barely fit together and you know what it did to me you know what it did to me i was like i really respect lego for how they make everything make sense and make everything easier so it reminded you of why you're learning so much so what we'll do at the beginning of the episode here is always fun this is what we do we're a little more professional

since last time you came on db is we talk about everyone's experience with lego so i will go first i used to use lego when i was a child when i was a you know before i became an adult i used them i would build them i would do a lot of mocks you guys do you know what those are yeah my own creation my own creation moc so that's for i was exclusively a mock builder basically i was not into that so i wasn't into that stuff at all but i was i definitely had fun with it and i had fun sort of creating my own cities and things like that db do you have any experience with lego i just could never understand how to use them or do put them together or anything like that it's hard around it it could be hard mike there's a lot of these sets he's referring to when he was

a child i think he's saying when he was a child i think probably now as an adult he wouldn't struggle although i will spoiler alert i do have some uh reviews from lego.com where some adults definitely had some trouble putting together sets and are quite angry at the lego corporation for it um but mike you also you you have a you have a age appropriate you have somebody you have a kid who could play like does your kid play lego uh you know he used he used to when he was a baby you know he loved him um mike's child has aged out of lego no basically what we're hearing there's different age groups there's so many different age groups of like can I tell you something right now? I'm looking at the thing Chris has up, right? Okay.

And I have like eight of the sets that are on this guy's table. So yeah, we have a video up. It's like a cityscape or something, right? It's a little town. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to make in my life. I want to make one of those. Yeah.

Well, let's go ahead. It's no different than my friend's dad, my cousin's dad, I guess my life. I want to make one of those. Yeah. It's no different than my cousin's dad. My uncle. Your cousin's dad is your uncle. Let's sing it from the top. Your cousin's dad? He had a big train

set, a big city and stuff. He never would let us go down there and play with it. That sucks. I would let you play with my Legos to tell you that it was that a model. You mean a model train set or a model Lego? Yeah. Model train set. I got you.

See, that's not that's that's sort of the adult version of Lego. I feel like it's the train set. First of all, I got to say, Brian brian brian you gotta settle down here okay i know this is difficult for you i know you seem very eager to defend yourself before we've even attacked you but you go ahead you can say the two things but you have to keep in mind that i i am i have the clips this week right you like my two lego pens that i have in my hands you can put them together take them apart um yeah thank you and my lego book i got a lego journal to write in okay is that what you wanted to say no uh i i left my debit card at a restaurant the other day but i couldn't i couldn't find it

i didn't know that i had left it yet so So I'm looking around in the house. And one of the places I had to look was in my bedroom closet because, uh, I had worn jeans the night before. I was like, maybe it fell out into the jeans pocket or out of the flannels pocket onto the floor. I had to pull all my Lego boxes out that are flattened. And it was actually heavy.

And that was the first time i was like i think i might have too many legos because that's not all the boxes that i have i have boxes in the closet in here too and the fucking pile of boxes chris i'm telling you it was like i can't get my in the camera it was like that big it was huge it weighed probably 40 pounds. So this is interesting, too, because, yeah, like I wasn't aware because I've been learning a lot about Lego guys. And I sort of one of the big questions I had is Brian like really, truly a Lego guy like the guys that we're covering. And so you're saying is exactly the way they speak. So it's I don't go to the website. It's interesting you bring that up because we're going to start our first video uh this is going to be a guy we're going to check

in with a lot this week it's dr mcbrick on youtube and and he is talking about the a fall dilemma now a fall mike that's an adult fan of lego uh so that's how they refer they brian is an a fall so this is the a fall dilemma uh 2022 so let's go ahead and check in he's got a great intro oh this guy's got a lot of legos oh shit so his he's got like a dr mcbrick um you know he's got his lego version of himself and the logo it's very cool very very professional it's pretty cool hello everybody this is dr mcbrick and i am here to say hi to all of you out there in thank you bland Hello to you, Dr. McBrick. I appreciate when they say hi to me out in YouTube land. So, Dr. McBrick. On the Google machine.

Now, this is Dr. McBrick with his top audio quality. So, I do warn you that Dr. McBrick doesn't have this great audio quality on all of his videos. Some of them he- Is he a doctor of? He addresses the doctor of Legos. Legos. Some people call them bricks and in the hobby they'll say bricks instead of legos because i think because you're not from what i understand you're not supposed to say legos no that's the thing that i learned legos is absolutely incorrect

it has been verified that lego is the plural of le. So I am a guy that says I'm going to go play with my Legos. So you you're saying it wrong. So, again, this is another thing where in a lot of circles in this world, you would be shunned. You would be laughed out of the spaces. But let's let's watch. We need to find out about this a fault dilemma. I'm curious. about this a fault dilemma because I'm curious. I wanted to post this video because it was something I was thinking about and I've been thinking about for a while now. And yesterday, it just happened to last night I was flipping through the channels and I saw a dub from down under bricks. Great channel, by the way, if you haven't checked them out down under bricks, it's I would imagine that's an Australian

breaker. under bricks. I would imagine that's an Australian bricker. It's an Australian bricker. About something that I had been thinking about for a long time, and that was the AFOL dilemma. Okay, so this is it. What is the AFOL dilemma? Now, you're probably not going to be able to guess what it is. It's not what you're thinking. Well, let's go ahead and go to it here, and we'll start from right here. your thinking well let's go ahead and go to it here and we'll start from right here um until i saw that so yeah so what do i do do i continue with the city building do i continue with the amusement park i know most of you probably subscribe to this channel those who do subscribe youtube shows that about 50 of my viewers do not subscribe oh that's bullshit oh that sucks man

you got to subscribe number one and number two i i i have the same problem because i have this haunted house that's really big for my amusement park that i was planning on building and i got the roller coaster that goes with it right but i also bought all these modular buildings to build my city out of and the haunted house just doesn't fit there because it's too big and neither does the roller coaster they're different sizes yeah so i see what he's getting at yeah well let's let's i don't know if you do hang on you to subscribe to the channel because there are over 300 videos in the past 50 city updates for figsdale and six figs so those are the names of his figsdale so i noticed that they put fig in place of a lot of things. Those are what the people are called figs.

Mini figs. Mini figs. So sorry, I'm trying. Six figs is his amusement park. And then Figsdale is his city. Yeah. Thank you, Mike. Watch and stuff like that.

And all kinds of mocks. There's a great tutorial. Thank you, Mike. Watch and stuff like that and all kinds of mocks. There's a great tutorial. My most popular video is on how to build a city and how to start to build a city. I need to watch that, actually. Should I do that or should I start to maybe just say, you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to build Ninjago City.

Okay. No. Should he just build Ninjago City? I mean, it's a question we've all been asking ourselves. But let's check it. I have a couple of different timestamps here. So let's go to the next one. That's it.

And I have probably 12, 13 IKEA tables worth of Star Wars ships and things that I can do. Okay. So. Come on, man. Brian, this is starting to be a little alarming to you. I mean, I wonder what size those Ikea tables are. I know what size they are. I'm buying some.

I have those in a list of things I need to buy. I'm trying to figure out because I've showed you this before. Are they specifically made for Lego? I mean, they're white ones, right? I know the ones you're talking about. I think we saw them in the video earlier when he saw. I think his city was sitting on those white tables. So this guy's got 13.

He's got 13 tables filled with Star Wars stuff. What a house. What a house that must look like. Should I do that? Should I just make a Star Wars area. What a house. What a house that must look like. Should I do that? Should I just make a Star Wars area and then build it up nicely and then tear it down and start doing something else?

That's not a bad idea, but just at the end of this video, I think this is a really great ending. This is how he ends this particular video on the A-Fall dilemma that you should all watch um here we go i'm not the only one who's thinking this out there um i'm not the only kind of middle-aged guy who's going huh i wonder if this hobby is something that i need to continue or if

it's something that i should change up okay all right so brian do you ever find yourself saying hey as a middle-aged guy is this hobby something that i should continue or something that i should yeah he's now well it should i change up change uh-huh i've never maybe yeah change a different set maybe figure out am i gonna make a a Titanic world where I have over here somewhere on my floor there's a lighthouse. That's the problem with me. I don't have the tables. The tables he bought are...

So you think the biggest problem you're dealing with is you don't have the tables? I'd love to have the tables and just really get started on my city because I have in my closet basically I have in my closet, basically, I have a jazz club. I got the quickie mark.

I don't. That's like $600, and I'm going to buy it, but I'm going to hold it off. I'm looking at it right now. I'm paying to buy for $56. That's not. That's going to be a mega block or. Definitely some sort of a knockoff one. None of the things will fit and it'll be an absolute nightmare. By the way, Brian, you said earlier that, oh, you know, it's so Lego never makes me. I got some news for you.

Lego often sends out incorrect pieces. Brother, I know. Yeah. And sometimes, you know, sometimes we'll be missing a whole bag i'm on one right now with him i had to send him an email because this they wrote the strings on my titanic are the wrong size so they don't work right and now i'm putting this thing together without the strings but when the strings get here i'm gonna have to put the strings back on now i don't know if all the times i've sent them an email uh to get a get my piece back i don't know if maybe sometimes i lost them because

like the first 10 sets i did were missing a piece but i think that might have been operator already control so how did you feel the customer service was when you reached out to them and tried to get those sent out? I think that when you're building something and you can't move to the next thing because you don't have the piece, it sucks. And I can't do the Quickie Mart, by the way, guys, because it's $12 and up. That's not for me. The amount of pieces are just, I mean, it's $500. You got your $12 and up. It's the amount of pieces are just, I mean, it's 500 bucks. You got your 12 and up. It's only 2079 pieces. And I'm way up in the 9000 pieces.

So what we're going to do here now that we've found out about the a fall dilemma, you know, should I keep being in a fall or should I grow up and, you know, do adult things, is we're going to check in on some different forums. Brickset is one of the big ones. So Brickset is no longer has a forum. It now strictly has a Facebook group and a Discord. And I will say they did not grant me access to the Facebook group. I requested it many weeks ago. I tried with a bunch of different accounts I could not get my way in there but I did get myself into the brick set Discord um and there's some really really fun stuff going on in there so I thought I'd highlight uh just some of the the really kind of light-hearted nice stuff so here's a post from uh 560 helip. I'm guessing 560 is the Heliport because they have numbers on the sets. Oh, yeah.

Here we go. Mike, you serious? Brian, please put away your light-up thumb. Okay? I'm not going to say it. Wow. If you keep pulling that out on the episodes, we're going to have to. Now, how is.

I can't tell you. Unfortunately... I can't tell you. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how I'm doing it. Oh, DV, don't ask him about it, please. Don't ask him about it. Ooh! My thumb lights up. It's a magic. I can't tell you because the Magician's Guild

will get me, and I'm trying to become a magician. 560 Heliport says, uh-oh, I'm almost out of ice cream. Do you know what this means? Correct. I'll soon have another one gallon container for Lego. Damn it. I have like five shoe boxes and like,

I have like a shoe box. And then I, the Adidas Lego shoe box, by the way, which the Adidas Lego is right behind me. I have that shoe box and it's full of extra pieces from things I took apart to use for extra pieces,

like the jazz band, the Seinfeld TV studio. I took that apart and just threw it out because I thought it sucked. It wasn't very many pieces. I took that apart and just threw it because I thought it sucked. And it wasn't very many pieces. So I have a lot of extra Legos. This is Sonic Green Hill Zone. I had to

take that one apart too. You don't ever find yourself dipping into the ice cream and thinking, I'm getting near the end here. I guess I got another container for my Legos. I don't eat the big plastic thing of ice cream. That is gross to me this guy eats six king-size caramellos

candy since 20 to 23 well we should give it up i mean that's hey that is great give it listen i'll tell you what i'm pretty much off candy i I was going to do it with you. What happened was I had a baby shower and they brought all this candy over into my house and then I ate some of it. Other than that, I have been really good. I've been eating the natural stuff. We're in this together.

I like fruit now. Okay, that's great. That's the big news. What are your favorite fruits what are the ones that you're like fruits you're getting into pomegranate and pomegranate does kind of have that candy feel to it you know fiber and it chases the duties out you ever have one of those star fruits sour type uh star star i don't know how to cut anything very good i wish i knew how to cut you just slice those bad boys

Yeah you just give them a slice that's all I don't want to go on YouTube And learn how because I tried that with the Pomegranates like I yelled that by my wife Because I got pomegranate juice all over everything Like the walls The walls? The walls how hard were you going to

I think you need to get a good knife set Yeah you need to get something better Was it splatter? Maybe some splatter because I held it up I think you need to get a good knife set. Yeah, you need to get something better. Was it splatter? Maybe some splatter because I held it up and I was like... I saw a guy cutting them open. Oh yeah, like a street vendor or something. You can't do that. I know, but I thought I...

Yeah, they've been doing it for 10 years before they ever mastered it. You try it once and you just slice up all four of them. It's possible. Okay okay so i also joined the a falls facebook group they did let me in a private group as well but they did let me in and this is one of my favorite posts because it really i love the hyper focus on just the very specific things. So this is from Travis and the adult fans of Lego.

Anyone else purchased the Wolverine 97 buildable figure and were absolutely appalled by the head positioning? So, Brian, have you ever experienced this? I think I understand the point of it. Lego wanted to make wolverine wolverine oh no yeah wolverine that's what happens when you host this show oh no and i discussed it with ariel and she decided i am open to for flub you can you can chat flub right now if you want brian i will not i'm being mature right now and I will say I did have a big, huge problem with one of the things. I bought Optimus Prime. Okay.

You know who that is? Yeah, of course. Yeah. I bought him, and pieces fell off every time I went to transform him. And that pissed me off. And I was going to go online and write a bad review of it but i'm not known as a lego reviewer and i don't have a blog well i think what you could have done was you could have just been you know like what travis did he didn't complain he he says he

understands lego wanted to make wolverine you could have just said i'm about to change it I keep saying Wolverine. You could have just said that's the thing. I'm about to change it. I Lego wanted to make Wolverine look more stout. I didn't like it. By adding one black 2x4 tile and removing a 2x4 flesh round tile, I was able to make it accurate. What do you guys think? And he posted a nice photo up

there and I think it does look better. No, I'm not. You guys don't get to see it, but it does look better. Definitely. Uh, 100%. Uh, another great forum that we have, uh, I discovered that Lego is really big over in Europe. Yeah. So the Euro brick forum is a forum that is extremely active um extremely active forum the euro brick forum um brian you ever been to europe before no i'd love to go i think we're gonna go at the end of this year although i don't know because i hate fly i hate traveling db ever been to europe never been to europe uh probably never go there for the it sucks so bad yeah the travel i guess i've never i've never gone there either i'm trying to think of the longest flight i've ever taken it's certainly like those flights are like proper

full day flights i took a pretty long one lately earlier this year alaska but like what would brian go into europe i mean that's like can you imagine like the amount of holes cut the amount of dookies laid the amount of the holes cut thing isn't going to happen on any of that was alaska airlines and that was the only airline anything like that's going to happen i've never been on such a hot airplane okay so brian i have a question for you because i found this thread in the euro brick forum and i don't understand what these fucking losers are talking about so would you be able to help me out here so the first post says i tend to like six stud wide for a lot of mid-sized vehicles since it helps make cars bigger than smaller vehicles like forklifts or go-karts,

like the ones in your avatar, while still fitting in eight-wide road lanes, garages, etc. Four-wide is good for some things, but doesn't allow a lot of room for passengers, cargo, or very much detail in general. I'm taking a look. So I have a reply to that though the original poster replies and says bro i didn't say four stud wide should be a thing for all vehicles just the cars what does that mean i think i know i think it's because so like i'm starting to learn i don't know the names of the pieces which i think is that would the the the lego guy thing is weird because like i don't know the names of any of the pieces

and like i don't know how to build anything on my own i mean if you'll remember when i made the announcement that uh street fight was ending a guy got very mad at me and said uh he plays with legos but he just follows the directions like what's even the point and i was like okay wow you can't be mad at me for that one you know i don't have anything to do with any of that i mean just to play devil's advocate though i think what he's trying to say is that you're not looking to explore your creativity. You know what I mean? I've never.

Listen. You don't do any mocks? Do you ever do mocks? No. No. Never. I have never. On even one plane?

Take two wings? I don't know how. Hey, DB. Can I tell you something, DB? Just between you and I, all the big respected guys do mocks i don't know how and i'm telling you i haven't this is the first time in my life i've ever had a hobby so honestly people should be very proud of me for doing something instead of making fun of me because it's a toy because do you have a hobby chris? Yeah, of course. Yeah, I know I watch. Don't even say podcasting.

Do not say your hobby is podcasting. You're not allowed to do that. Neither are you, Mike. Okay. In that case, I mean, I watch sports. That's a hobby. Okay, so you watch TV and you wanted to say you podcast as a hobby, but you're not allowed because that is against the rules.

See, in my life, if i can't count podcasting which i did count podcasting in the days before i was making money doing it uh but i can't count it now yeah uh i guess they collect sports cards i go to sports card shows that's a hobby that i have we all know mike mike builds jukeboxes. Yeah. Yeah. It's a passion of mine. And the thing is, I would love to build a jukebox with you,

Mike. Like I think that sounds really fun and I wouldn't goof on it. Now I understand Legos are different because they're for kids. Some are for kids. Most are 18 and up that I do. I mean, if you look through my boxes, you would maybe find one 16 and up because at the time I was building the

amusement park and one of the pieces was 16 and up. And I was like, hi, really? I want to build this amusement park, but there's not enough pieces out now. So then that's when I got really into looking at old retired sets. And I think like I did pay $700 for the Titanic.

And I know that's a lot of money. I know that's not cheap at all, but like, I think I'm DB just between you and I. Yeah. Yeah. All of the big respected guys. They don't,

they don't get handcuffed by the 16. They don't, they don't let it stop them. If they need it for their build, they will buy them. Dr. McBrick, we're going to see later on. One of his favorite fucking sets is a 14 plus Batman set that he absolutely loves. He hates the build and he hates what it looks like. But anyway, I'm not sure why he likes it, but we will get to that.

it but we will get to that i'm saying that like um i always felt like i'm not a lego guy until i start to buy retired sets which i'm not i haven't even come close to retired says like that's a set that's not sold anymore yeah it's not sold on the like um for you know like at a store or whatever lego doesn't sell it anymore you can only buy it you got to go to stock x and then they're real if you look up lego on stock x that's right db stock x the place where like yeah the the place for hypebeasts where i believe on stock x i got a pair of uh nike shoes gore-tex high top shoes so interesting i don't know they had legos on there as well i got some stuff on there like clothes wise you know i'm a beast i i hype me sometimes so we we mentioned that the different ones the knockoff ones so this is a big question that people talk about a lot and it's brought up

brought up on the euro brick forum and this is a kind of a cool thing because you get to sort of see a little bit of the lego guys sense of humor as well and it sort of shows through which is which is really fun so uh metal geeksy says do you only buy lego um not really talking about different types of building like connects or whatever but when it comes down to the building bricks is it lego only there are many many many knockoffs out there are they good enough or nothing beats lego oh well i'm going to tell you something right now that uh because you guys have me online searching stuff i uh typed something in on google and I saw a masters of the universe mega block set and it was $167 and I almost just bought it. Like, so I might not be the best Lego guy.

I shouldn't be searching around right now. I just saw it and I was kind of like behavior. It can't sometimes be that way. You know what the worst feeling in the world is mike is when i'm on the last few bags of the ones that i'm building i gotta fucking get out and get a new one so that there's no time in between them you know yeah but i'm on my last few bags well i told you around around christmas um my wife and daughter were like hey we'd like to have the dining room table to eat at. Yeah.

And I was like. God, you're a fucking wife, man. It's always something with them. So anyway, they're like, we'd like to have the table. So can you finish this set up and then maybe not buy another one? You know, let people have something to buy you for christmas and all this stuff and i love to bring her in here and let her know let her tell you how much of a baby i was about it but i was like oh so i guess i'm not allowed to do my

things anymore you need a a man cave a garage a lego lego oh yeah that's that's what the a lot of these guys have that db they have like a lego room slash man cave and we will get into that whether they build it because hey they want to have a different room or whether they build it because their spouse does not want it in the rest of the house uh it is something that might be but my wife like if i moved it where would i watch wrestling you know what i mean because i like to watch wrestling and build legos at the same time that is like wednesday night and from 8 p.m to 10 p.m that is when i really shine and people have seen your setup it's okay that's not. We're never going to talk about that. Your TV is like 90 feet away on the wall. It's not.

I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe get a fucking table and put it in front of your actual TV, possibly. No, my wife wouldn't like that. I got to say, this is kind of fun hosting the show. But God, I do have a little more respect for Brian now and the job that he does. Because, God, just like trying to find a way to keep the podcast going, you know, like it's I now I know what it's like for Brian. I like see it on his eyes where I was like, oh, he's trying to say the next thing, but we won't let him. You know, it's it's different.

So it's fun. them you know it's it's different so it's fun so brian um we we mentioned you will buy um the different types of bricks the mega bricks possibly this is a question this is the question that's being posed here is do you buy only lego and the first uh answer this is kind of funny i don't know if you guys like to laugh but i I pay for food and utilities, too. Occasionally new socks if they get a hole. But other than that, pretty much just Lego. So he's sort of misunderstanding the question on purpose there. You know, I only buy Lego.

Did clarify that that's not what they meant, but they answered it that way. I only buy Lego. I did clarify that that's not what they meant, but they answered it that way anyways. I don't see myself going to a different brand because, first of all, there's not enough pieces in a lot of the Mega Bloks collections. And then, like, they're also 14 and up. I don't know what's going on on the inside of any of them or anything like that. And I just feel like, like, you got to buy the top of the line stuff if you're gonna be out there having a replacement for quality thank you mike i mean this person agrees with you they say i buy only lego as a member of a lug it's harder not to so we mentioned that off the bat a lug is a

lego user group so i'm not one of those buddy they won't get me yeah of course you're not in one of those they would never accept you with your fake ass fucking bricks i mean they would they're never gonna let you in with your fucking they gotta shit they gotta you walk in there they got a jeweler's loop looking at your guys i should run down right now and take a picture of how much space the Titanic's taking on my dining room table. It would fucking blow you away. I mean, I absolutely believe it. I saw a lot of photos of the Titanic. We have a review of the Titanic build here, actually.

So next up, this is from r slash Lego. So there is a Reddit community. And this is kind of a fun post. I mean, I actually, I wonder if I should present this one to you. There's actually two good Lego communities, by the way, on Reddit. You got Legos, Naked Legos, and then Legos. Yeah, those guys have put their hog by the Legos. Oh, very great.

I did not see that. You didn't saw that? No, I did not. I did not. I apologize to the listener for not finding the pictures of the Legos next to guys' dicks. I got them here. Yeah, Lego nudes. And they'll just put their dick right by the box sometimes like that's the thing i was kind of getting mad about was like sometimes they would

just fucking put their hog next to the box and you're like bro come on man you know build the thing build it build it show it off and then put your dick beside it and take a picture. Yeah. It's so crazy to think that there are. Yeah, this guy. I'm looking at a guy right here. He's got a box. He says, my next set Imperial Shuttle Tiderium 937 PC.

Five mini pigs. He's got it right next to the box. And his dick is like kind of. Like, I don't know if it's just the boss. And his dick is like kind of, like I don't know if it's just the way, it looks like he's kind of chopped up a bit. You know what I mean? It's kind of sticking out a little bit to the right. And it's kind of, yeah.

He's got like a classic like barrel chested, old like 60 year old guy body. And he's posing next to the box whoa hang on there's ladies too oh they post them themselves I was like why have they censored the women's breasts but not the man's penis

so now we're looking at a photograph of a guy with a terribly small penis and it's sort of like in a bouquet of lego flowers that's so good it's like he's trying to make it like it's part of the bouquet or something well that's unadmirable to me i like it when they try to like add it to oh oh oh i like this one here comes one this guy is sitting by a uh the instructions just kind of like hey yeah this i think it's the same guy if i'm i recognize that chest i recognize that penis

i recognize this penis and chest i believe that oh and they always this guy watermarks them which i really like he's got the watermark otherwise people are going to be fucking using them for all kinds of reasons it's going to be up on your fucking h&m ad next weekend if you don't fucking watermark that let me um hang on there you go i got you back up yeah no i'm just going to present i'm going to present this here if i could god the nude le Lego guys are funny. I mean, if you're listening to this and you haven't gone to nude Legos, you got, oh. Okay, so we've got a photo up here from r slash Lego

and it's a Christmas themed Legos set up beside the Christmas tree on a table and it says, fiance says this is too much. I should get rid of her, right? Okay, first of all. So here we go because this is now we're getting into my favorite aspect of lego guys and that is their relationships um so brian would you say this is too much i would say no and i'd tell my wife to get rid of her shoes she's got yeah how many how many earrings she got yeah how many how

many uh how many how many handbags how many curling irons does she have that was hair straightener sorry yeah that was last week that was last week yeah yeah that's a big thing in the guy's universe is to say oh your wife's got a problem we'll just ask her about her shoe collection you probably got 17 types of hairspray and dry shampoo absolutely oh you can just go out and buy a new hair bread anytime you want um okay so so people respond to this um it's a lot but i don't think it's too much for christmas right like if they're in like a studio apartment where the bed is like one inch out of the picture then fine but it's probably okay so i have all the christmas decorate like it's it's taking over beside the christmas tree

and it's just this huge decorative thing so i guess it So I guess it's not taking up a huge amount of the house, but it does feel like it's dominating the Christmas decorations. I have all these sets. The Home Alone house is there. I set that up over the summer or over the winter during Christmas. I set it up during Christmas, and my wife was like, okay, you can put the Home Alone one together if that makes you happy so i put that one together and uh this is santa's village was there and here's the thing about it

it's not too much if it's pretty and that's the kind of thing i would are if i was arguing with my wife i'd be like this is very classy looking and i you know what the other thing you can say is you know it's pretty expensive stuff right there therefore it's nice i see your justification that you're going to use is well i'll show it off and a lot of our money on it well yeah forget that you know how we don't have enough money for the utilities well that's uh okay so oh but think about it when your nieces and nephews come over and they're like oh that's a neat like you know what i mean that's uh okay so oh but think about it when your nieces and nephews come over and they're like oh that's a neat like you know what i mean that's i mean if they're under 10 but like what happens

when they turn 11 and they're no longer impressed with it so so we do have some responses to this about whether or not this is too much uh bruins fan 08 uh responded too much what? Empty space that needs more Lego? Then she's correct. My man. And by the way, he said, then she is correct. Don't you fucking dare come against Legos.

If your wife is going to come up against my Legos, I'm going to go right after your wife. And that's just the way it is. Sorry. And somebody responds to that says the fiance sounds like my husband and i still haven't figured out how to get rid of him i say get out while you still can that's a little playful and i will say this is something i should mention this is a very much um like it's not a male dominant i mean it is maybe dominated but there's a lot of uh women who are

engaged in this all genders all everyone it's not like a real male hobby and everyone's having fun it's not like guitars where it was like i mean women collect guitars but not the same way but i do think like people that have the collecting i don't have the collecting thing i've never collected anything in my life so having all these legos that's a different thing for me you know this is the first time i collected baseball cards for like a few years like i collected jose cansecos when i was a kid but i threw them away uh when i grew up to be an adult because you know trash toys um so okay some pieces of paper purple haired monster says my thoughts as well plenty of room for at least two more trains and it obviously needs either a gondola a gondola or a funicular i

don't know what that is yeah you need a funicular every now and then to connect the levels see that's the thing with me that's why i haven't started my city yet because my wife was like let's go get the tables you can start your city and i'm kind of nervous about it because like i have all these buildings i have the jazz club i have the doctor strange sanctum santorum i have the avengers the daily bugle from the movie yeah i have a police station that's wrong i understand i shouldn't be collecting that sort of thing but it was one of the last buildings that there was out there yeah you got to well that's interesting yeah that's interesting that you say that brian because uh we will talk about a little discussion later on about how Lego is sort of going anti-police. And that's a bit of an issue. So I do have one more response here says, I agree.

It's too much. My girl, on the other hand, says I don't have enough. So maybe we can help each other out i hate good wife i hate those guys that come in there and they're like my wife actually encourages me you know well i think you're also missing something here and scotchy rocks is not scotchy rocks what the reply looks over at a fishbowl full of keys all of which have lego keychains attached so they're saying hey yeah let's swap wives uh because your wife likes it and then they started talking about lego swinging which is kind of exciting for us i feel like so well first of all i have a lego keychain i don't know if oh yeah toss it in the bowl right and i have a question do you have any like are is anybody

that you know in the lifestyle also into Lego? I don't know anybody in the lifestyle, Chris. I'm not a pervert, number one. I haven't asked him. I guess. That's a good point, DB. He wouldn't know if they're into Legos. When he's like,

he's busy. Very busy. Didn't we learn? He's supposed to be a chomper in a playroom even if he wanted to even if he wanted to say something we learn you're not supposed to talk about politics or really

anything was that on the Sunday stream it was on guys plus check out the patreon for that guys plus episode where we cover playroom chompers which is kind of fun all right hey we got another video talking about the vaccine that was the funny part about it is they were like the playroom bummer is like a guy came in there talking about the vaccine oh man so funny to imagine like you're trying to suck the

fuck in the corner and the guy's like i don't even know what this damn thing i didn't get it so we're gonna chat with dr mcbrick is back folks and this is kind of a fun video this is confessions of a lego a fall spouse so this is now we're going to delve into this a little bit i will say somebody on twitter i posted screenshots of some of these things some people got very mad at me from the lego community and started denigrating my uh abilities and whatnot calm down lego people calm down please but you made fun of 51 other kinds of people but um so the the this basically i feel like this is a big issue that people deal with all the time and sometimes it leads to real serious

marital issues and somebody i didn't find any confirmation of this in the video but someone on twitter did say that this this person has gotten a divorce from his wife since then and let me say this chris something that's driving me up the absolute walls i want to click on every single one of those videos uh on the side and i keep grabbing my mouse to go over there and click on that lego 45 i i i'm and you can see that i i changed it from from dr mcbrick on the it's because i didn't want you guys to see what is actually you know you see mine all the time and it's very interesting it's mostly yeah my stuff is pretty uninteresting to be honest i mean it's mostly psychotic uh right wing stuff um but let's go ahead and uh play this here it's confessions of a lego a false spouse this is dr mcbrick who we met earlier uh he is he's at he's

at the the door of his wife's office and i'll let him read to you what it says on there. Cause it's quite funny. Hello everybody. This is Dr. McBrick and I am going up to my wife's office and it says here that she's in a meeting. It says, do not disturb unless you're bleeding. Someone is dying or you have wine.

Well, I don't have any of those, but so that's kind of funny. I mean, listen, I'm busy, but I'm, I'm busy unless it's a serious emergency, and one of those includes you having wine.

Very, very cool. Now, this is, I got to say, okay, this woman does not like Lego. Oh, no. I like Lego. My wife isn't a big fan either. Well, you might see a little of your life in here brian this is uh this is this is kind of tough to watch at times but my wife uh accepts things from you know what i mean like i don't think she loves that i keep buying a lot

of legos but she's also like well he's happy when he's doing the legos you know i mean it's like it's like the thing you do when you have a kid and they're like three or four years old and you're like uh i just need a minute so you hand them you see him playing with a dog toy and you're like you know what let him have it yeah eating a dog okay fine i mean hey i'm having you guys both already know you've been there done that but i'm a couple months away from having my first uh first child so i'm excited about that and hey raw hides up there and i'll i'll so which also means having a young baby in my life it means hey i might be able to get back into lego and that's actually the first time i was 18 when i got into him chris the first time i saw lego in real life

in a long time was because uh my nephew who's three and a half uh was playing with them so i remember years ago we were bored hanging around the house and my daughter was like probably 15 and she was like we should look into legos so we drove to the lego store and i was like these are so expensive i will never buy legos in my life just fuck this it's a stupid thing to get into uh smash smash cut two it's funny because you could say like oh he started making money and he bought Legos. That's not true. I was buying Legos when I couldn't afford to buy Legos.

Like I was buying like $200 sets and just being like, let's just pay the minimum on the credit cards this month. Because I got to get this space shuttle. Overextending yourself to buy Legos. That's me, baby. Hello. This is my's me, baby. Hello. This is my wonderful wife, Kara, and she is in her office. I had a

question for you. I've got a lot of viewers who have been asking questions about what it's like to be the spouse of an AFOL. She doesn't seem like she wants to be doing this. She doesn't, Brian. Sorry, Brian. Yeah, just wait. Sorry, Brian, sorry.

But I do need to back it up because we have to hear what's said here. You have to catch this. Who have been asking questions about what it's like to be the spouse of an AFOL. What the heck's an AFOL? Adult fan of Lego. Okay. adult fan of Lego. Okay.

She literally rolled her eyes for you guys who aren't watching it. Would you mind answering some questions for me? No, don't answer. Let's go down in the Lego room. Oh, no. She's like, I'll answer some questions, thinking, I guess I'll get to do it here.

She's like, let's go to the Lego room. Oh, fuck, okay. She's only been in there like three times oh my god this guy's lego room is ridiculous yeah i need to get something like this so an interesting thing that he has up behind him here is which i see a lot brian do you have these they have the the clear plastic like organizing bins and he has like this guy i've seen one video of him it's his entire wall one full wall is just covered in them and each of them has an individual a bunch of different pieces like like brad like black like square pieces you know what i mean so like he is he like is that is that something regular people have i think so i i don't know if i told you this but for my birthday my wife was

like we're gonna get you some stuff so you could like sort your extra legos and i was like i'd rather just have legos to tell you the truth i do have new legos you would never do this you would never put all that but i guess you would never do this because you're a fucking you're you're not a mock builder i only build my yeah so you're not a legitimate builder so if you're a legitimate you're a legitimate builder who did mocks then you would have to have these extra pieces so you could make your piece but with you it's just like i'm just gonna follow the instructions i don't know how to build other things i exactly possess the creativity i i agree well imagine trying to put like because i've thought about it in my i've thought about it in the past like well what if i

what if i like drew out or what if there's a computer program that I can say, I want to build this, and the computer program tells me how to build it? I would do that, but I just don't know how to build stuff. I don't understand how this guy's doing. I admire him, even though he's a dork. Okay. Well, let's see if his wife admires him. Hello, everybody. I got my wife down here to the Lego room.

And she's actually here. And she's going to answer questions, right? Yes, I'm going to answer questions. And she didn't even know what an eight-ball was. Okay. So, anyway. Okay, she says. Okay.

This seems like they don't. This seems like your wife should know what this is based upon how much you are into it. Yeah. She should know that much about your life. I tweeted about this, but I do want to show you guys here. It's kind of an interesting visual thing to look at. See, it's broken up into portions. youtube videos are broken up like that now so this is the portion favorite things about your hobby it goes from 736 to 845 okay that's not very long so that's only a minute and

10 seconds and then we have dislike things about your hobby it goes from 8 49 to 11 43 so can i say three times as long the things that she dislikes about no and can i say like this reeks of like a relationship where uh he's in his room playing with his legos all the time and she's just like whatever you know what i mean yeah like whatever he's doing in there you know what i mean yeah like whatever he's doing in there is whatever because i mean let's find out what her favorite things are about the hobby here that's exciting what is the favorite thing about my hobby that you like that you benefit from yeah i guess yeah what is your favorite thing you just says what is my favorite thing about your hobby well yeah you do, boo. You do it for yourself. I keep you off your hobby.

That is fucking sad because he's like, he tried to say, like, that wasn't what was asked. The question was, what's your favorite part of his hobby or whatever? And he said, that benefits you. And she's like, well, no, it didn't say that. Well, I have to keep a tighter budget because you're spending all the money. Okay, listen though. It gives me something to do. I think that I really enjoy you having, you know, I think that. Man, she still hasn't been able to ask.

She recalculated. There's a real quick story. My daughter, when she was really little probably like eight or nine she made a uh 50 things i love about you for her mom for mother's day and we were going through them and we found one of them just said dad's wife energy like yeah like listen i could take her leave i mostly know her through dad you know but i mean that's a good guy so if dad's friends with her she can't be all bad all right let's see here so she still has she's still just sort of um trying to figure out a thing to say to this question.

I love this. The Dr. McBrick channel on YouTube is, you know, I think that, you know, the Dr. McBrick channel on YouTube is something that I'm really proud of for you, you know. Okay, so you have a YouTube channel. Is he getting paid, do you guys think? Oh, yeah, for sure. I don't, do you guys, he's got 7,000 subscribers only you guys he's got 7 000 subscribers only he's not he's not making enough money off 20 000 views on this one no 2.8 well i mean on the side there

oh okay sort of lego comparison of lego botanical sets got 20 000 views oh. Yeah, that's what the people want. Lego City, Figsdale. Yeah, that's his place. Three years ago, 4,000 views. That's his place. That's his place. He moved Figsdale, by the way. He had to pick up the entire Figsdale and move it to Florida because he moved his home to Florida. Get away from COVID restrictions. I believe so.

And then also, you know, to find a nice, quiet place to divorce his wife. Being able to share it with other people that this is what goes on in my house and that it's something that actually they can check out my husband on YouTube and he's got this great Lego channel. OK, so that's kind of interesting, but I'm more interested in what she doesn't like. I am, too. I'm really curious. Here we go. All right. so what do you

dislike the most about my lego hobby so she just made an exaggerated face like backed up like all right how much time do you got this is gonna make me run downstairs and hug my wife when it's over there we go well um i would the expense of it is definitely something. It's something. Did you hear him? You guys got to listen. He does the classic money. He makes like a sound.

Here, listen. Here we go. I would say the expense of it is definitely something. I would say. Yeah. That's usually the one thing, actually. The need for Ikea tables. That itch that you get when you're like...

The need for Ikea tables. Brian? I'm just going to play that one more time. I would say that... The need for Ikea tables. Brian, did you hear that one? The need for Ikea tables. My wife wants me hear that one? The need for Ikea tables. My wife wants me to buy the tables

just as much as I do. Oh, yeah. I'm sure that's what she told them off camera as well. You know, that itch that you get when you're like, I need some Ikea tables, you know? Yeah, and it's been really hard during the pandemic because I can't go down seven miles

to the ikea store is this guy i got a question chris can you pause is this guy a columbus guy i don't know that's a good i'm looking at the uh i don't know where he's from i know he lives in florida now but i don't know where he came from i'm looking at the video that says our trip to lego land discovery center columbus and uh that doesn't necessarily mean he lives in columbus he would he would get on a fucking plane to go to this lego thing well lego discovery place you can't even go unless you have a kid with you though because i wanted to go they have a kid they have okay yeah because i wanted to go but i i didn't i couldn't

get in there because my daughter didn't want to go. Oh, my God. And now she's 19. Was that not eye-opening in any way for you when you couldn't get in because your child thought it was too lame? I just wanted to see what was going on in there. I don't even know what it is that's going on in there. Probably Lego building, i would imagine and then i'm going to universal studios when i'm in la uh i think that's going to be one of the things we do with the family and they're like why don't you go to lego land and i'm like i think that's just for kids i would go but i don't know what you can do there no no

no you can go to lego land lego land is is, there ain't no kids only things like that out in Hollywood. They're all, you know, in California. It's all area. What did you do there? I'm scared of roller coasters, number one. So I can't ride a roller coaster. And I mean, you just, you got to go to, you're a Lego guy. You got to go to Legoland.

You got to check out the builds. Are you afraid you might see a mock that's too creative and you'll fucking freak out or what you're taking with the ninjago guy yeah okay that would be cool that i got it i got you there um but yeah i don't know what i would do there if i don't ride roller coasters what are you gonna do sit there and build something you know that's what that's what you do all the time but that i don't want to do that i don't want people watching me build something i'm gonna they got a water park there they got uh uh they got an aquarium there pirate reef that sounds pretty cool i mean i will say to definitely go to universal studios or universal studios yeah i don't need to go to

lego land okay let's see let's see what. Let's see what else. Let's see what else this because we have some more a false spouses as well. Oh, shit. I fucked you up. You know, me, you're away from us is something that it's a cost benefit kind of thing. Like, you know, I'm sad that I don't get that time with you, but I'm

glad that you get the time to do something that's important. Oh, fuck, dude. Come on. Come on. Okay. I'm sad that I don't get that time from you. I will say this right now. There is not going to be a time where I'm like, I picked Legos

over my wife. I mean, there has been a few times. I'll tell you that right now yeah by the way can you screenshot this brian i think it would yeah it's a good screenshot i think they're like do you want to like my wife a lot of times will say you want to go do a thing and i'll be like i mean would you rather just do it without me just sit here and play like i mean i think you both know what it's like to never want to leave your house yeah yeah yeah not really i know i i go i go out quite a bit i don't know that i fall in the same category i spend quite a bit of time outside of my house but i just i just think sitting down at

the lego table is like the thing i like to do now like we had people over the other day and my wife was like you know you left me to have to hang out and talk to them because you were playing around with your stuff and i was like that's i'm sorry about that that's my apology but if you had asked me what i wanted to do saturday night i would have said play around with my titanic lego set how's that coming along by the way how how far along are you would you say percentage wise uh i think i'm like two-thirds of the way done with that one i think i i'm getting i'm not a definitely not a percentage but okay i think i'm at the point where 75 i think 67 i'm thinking i'm

at the point where i need to buy a new lego set Now I'm like, okay, I got to go get that Natural History Museum. That thing's... I need that. He's itching already. He's fiending. Yeah. He's seeing it. His bag's getting low.

Bag's getting low. I want that Natural History Museum. Yeah. I am like that. Okay. Let's see a little bit more of what she doesn't like that. Okay. Let's, let's see a little bit more of, um, you know, what she doesn't like about the hobby. I like to view that as time that I can spend either on myself or with the kids and.

Oh, with the kids. So I'd love to have you there, you know, keep the family unit together. But when you're out there, I look at it. Hey, I can spend time with the kid, our kid. You know, you spend so much time with the family that you deserve that time for yourself. So I try, even though it's hard for me sometimes, I try to remind myself that you deserve that. Well, thank you. You know, it's funny because one of the...

Well, thank you. I guess I am doing everything right. Hey, I guess I am all right. I guess I don't have to make any changes at all. Everything's going great. There's a tip for all you AFOLs out there. But one of the things I've tried to do, and I know several of my buddies try to do this too, also are Lego YouTubers, is try to do my videos so that I can get them done, get them in the can,

upload them, drop them on the weekends, and then that way I don't have to do anything on the weekend. So, yeah, that is, Hey, that's kind of like what we do. We get stuff planned ahead and right. So that is, yeah, that is kind of smart. That is. Yeah. I mean, he's playing with Legos, you know what I mean? That's the different, I think the difference between me and him is that like, he's trying to get playing with Legos out of the way.

I like to spend the week getting my time playing with Legos out of the way. Yeah. I like to spend the week getting my time playing with Legos out of the way. And then I can hang out with my family on a weekend. Okay. So I have, I have this one. This is, this is my, this is probably my favorite video.

This is not, we're getting off of Dr. McBrick now over to to Casual Bricks. Casual Bricks on YouTube. And this is called Living with a Lego Collector. Advice from a Lego spouse. We can see on the image that there's a number of Lego bouquets of flowers around this home. And she's seated on a couch a couch and it looks like a documentary it's

presented like a serious documentary like a true crime documentary or something um the only thing that tips it off that it's not is the room tone here we go oh being a lego spouse oh that sounds good it's not something that i ever thought I would have to consider in my life. When I started my husband's collection over 10 years ago, I bought him a set I thought he would just have a lot of fun building.

Oh, that's the one she bought him an architecture set. I actually got the Fast and the Furious car. That was your first one? That was my first set. And did you buy it for yourself no yeah it was a gift and who bought your wife bought it for you as a gift no no it was it was my old co-host on the podcast oh okay brett bought it for you and how much what was the cost of it i think it was 110 bucks okay so you went with sort of a mid-range one and that and did were you

hooked right away? Yeah. I fucking started putting that thing together and I was like, this is the best thing I could ever possibly be doing. And then immediately went, as I was starting to run out of set, out of Legos, I went and bought a ship and a bottle. And then as I started to finish that, I went and bought the Seinfeld set. And then as I started to finish that, I went and bought the guitar. And as I started to finish that, I went and bought the seinfeld set and then as i started to finish that i went and bought the guitar and as i started to finish that i went and bought the sonic the hedgehog and as i started so i have not been without legos to do for three years would you would you like like what would it look like if you weren't able to get at your hands on lego to build i would complain i did it all through christmas i was like this is fucking bullshit man i'm grumpy i was i was very grumpy i was like this is i can't fucking do what i want to do but everybody else gets to do what they want to do you know what i mean man because when i when

we were snowed in or whatever we had that big storm i ran out of weed and i was like well it's just fucking just absolute garbage this is the fucking worst shit I've ever fucking experienced in my life. These mother in my Internet was down, too. So I was like, oh, this is fucking disgusting. I can't believe I'm alive or whatever. Yeah, that was a big snowstorm. It kept Mike Huckabee out of his studio and led to very, very shitty Huckabee shows. So not a big fan of that particular snowstorm.

Yeah. So this lady basically is saying she thought, hey, I'll buy him a thing. He'll have a bit of fun with it. That'll be that. I didn't know that it would turn into something that takes over a quarter of our house. Oh, my God. So these are some ways. By the way, the background noise is so bad and they're doing the thing like the really like low end filter on it to like, you know, to cut out the background noise or whatever.

So it's sort of muffles everything. That's what's happened here. Can I say, I think, I think a lot of the A-Full husbands out there do buy all of the bouquets because when they finish it, they can put it in a vase and go to their wife like, see, not all Legos. Well, listen, she's about to cover that specifically. So here we go. We live together with our Lego collection, very large

sprawling Lego collection, harmoniously. I'd like to share them with you today. Oh, no. One way that we live harmoniously with our legos is controlling the chaos or limiting the spread limiting the spread right you gotta stop talking about it like an infectious disease you gotta stop the spread it's that's the thing she's dead serious by the way this is not like a silly video where they're

doing a parody of something i promise you this is a dead serious channel where this is 100 and if you look over i will say casual bricks has another video that says a tour of my 34 000 lego room so her husband has a 35 000 or 34 000 le34,000 Lego room. I don't have that. I hate to say that I can see it happening now, but I'm hoping to not break. I'm hoping to only have $25,000 of stuff. And so I came up with the idea of using floral Lego sets. Yeah.

In the main part of the house, which is essentially my part of the house, which is essentially my part of the house. It's the place where we host our guests. My husband's room is downstairs. And it is disgusting.

Do we get to see his room, Chris? I don't know, actually. That's very sad. I mean, I'm going to look at his room as soon as we're done. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, we can definitely look at it. I mean, I'm going to look at his room as soon as we're done. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, we can definitely look at it. I mean, I think that it'll be in this video. Hang on.

Four sets that are the four sets. Plus, we do have one small one that was my daughter's as well, just as a little memento. Yep, we have that one. We have that one behind her behind her guests are always really surprised when they see them the guests are always really surprised when they see them the lego toys okay we don't have that one maybe we do my wife i i use those flowers to get them to get them in like get my fan i'm like hey man you know they got flowers and women love flowers so you you do you're you're actually saying this is like good advice like this is good advice if

you have a lego spouse get her some lego flowers and put them up and that's a way to include her okay yeah but it's embarrassing to be like it's embarrassing to be my age and be like hey do you think my hobby's neat like i i fully realize that uh it's a weird thing for her probably especially since i didn't pick them up until like 2021 or something like that that it's like man what happened like it's a real what happened situation so i know how this lady feels because by the time you've bought like by the if you could see the amount of boxes i have in this house it is an abnormal number and i could add that up i'll tell you what i could add up all my stuff the math on it i don't want to do that yeah i don't want anything to do with that i was looking through those boxes the other day there were so

many sets i forgot i did like i i was like i did a porsche you don't have around or where is it it's a shelf or something porsche is right behind me next to the question box for mario the porsche is there and then we go back to the future car and bowser and then up one is the adidas shoe and the box from my corn adidas shoes because i got the adidas shoes that say corn on them and up top is the atari 2600 and then on the very very top is my haunted house and my pac-man machine wow yeah and then on the floor behind me there's more of them are you kidding me yeah the concord is on the floor right next to me there's a lighthouse on the floor back there yeah there's a big grand piano that i put together that's a player piano right yeah behind the gray and behind the piano there's

a japanese hotel and a japanese like castle now you can move over here and you can look in the closet that's where a lot of my buildings and stuff are and i plan to get those out and get a city built sometime you know i want to hang out in my room i'm not a guy this is the difference between me and these guys i don't want to hang out in my office just dicking around with my legos all day that's why i put them in the main room of that well i think yeah maybe the difference would be that um these people aren't allowed to do that their Their wives are saying, I would like to have our home to live in. And you have room for your amigos. I forgot about the Hocus Pocus house from the movie.

And the typewriter behind me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all good. So one thing I will say, though, that I did learn is we can laugh all we want about Brian having all these things. And it is funny. But they do actually actually you can make money off of collecting them like they're not me i will definitely not do that you know what i mean there are actual like it is a thing that i learned where there is they appreciate in value like there

are sets there where you can collect them you can get a hold of one and then you can sell it for like a huge profit i would love to i would love to do something like that and i i've said this before i would love to be one of those lego influencer guys the guys that get the sets for free write their blog saying i don't like this one or i do like this one that's something i would love to do but i don't want to stream building them because i don't want to turn it into fucking work yeah yeah i feel the same way about it honestly it's like a simple stupid little thing where i didn't want to do a letterboxd because like for that same reason where it just felt like there was some work to it now where i'm like no movies is what i watch to like just completely escape i

don't want it to be connected to any of this shit at all. That's where I'm at because it's like once I make it work, I did that with podcasting, right? You were podcasting at the beginning just to fuck around. I don't think anybody got into it thinking they were going to make any fucking money. And it was just like it's fun to fuck around with my friends and shit like that. And then when you started making money and you had to do them every week, that's when it starts. You have to wake up and do it twice a week and be on camera. And everything you say will be scrutinized forever. So what you're saying is that you're saying that it used to be good because that's what you do now.

But both of you are doing that now. So you're saying, Beau, that you hate it? No, I don't hate it. Wait, we're literally doing that right now. We're doing an episode of the podcast. It's not that I hate it. No, I don't. I don't hate it. But we're literally doing that right now. We're doing an episode of the podcast. It makes it's not that I hate it. I love it. I wouldn't do anything else as a job.

I mean, I do hate it, but I hate everything. You hate it, DB. And that's less of a concern for me because I don't have a podcast. Yeah. Yeah. I think me and Mike are kind of the same that like if something happened where mike you want to if something happened where a bunch of money happened then i'd probably just be like i'd probably just fuck off somewhere you know what

i mean yeah uh maybe do a monthly podcast or something but like once you turn something into work there is a certain amount of oh you know what you know like chris somewhere you would really do you really think that not to get too serious about it or anything like that but really you think like if you just made a bunch of money that you wouldn't want to like do things anymore i don't like having to do things so i've been i'll tell you guys this story i've been wanting to get my hair cut more often at a barber shop right get my head shaved i think it's a luxurious experience yeah and uh i have i've only done it a couple times because if i set an appointment i immediately want to cancel it i don't like to have things to do you know what i mean like a point yeah it's just if podcasting

was a thing and it is more like this with you chris i i do say it's like a thing that i can get a hold of you the day before and usually you'll make time and that is that's much better for me than like uh having a set time every week and then having to try to navigate that with although we do we do that but anyway well tuesday but i'm saying like i'm saying that you're a lot more flexible the machine moves a lot more flexibly now so i'm having a lot more fun you know what i mean no it's true we we yeah we'll just all of a sudden say hey i want to do a podcast and can you do it now and i usually being that i don't have a real job i can usually just do a stream the stream might change a little bit in a couple of months when i have a baby but we'll see all right let's

let's check it off somewhere i'm telling mike you'd fuck off somewhere too weren't you yeah i would disappear for sure uh i i disagree You guys would still want to create things. You'd still want to make things. I think that. I'm very uncreative, as you can tell. Some of the sets, especially the Birds of Paradise, people are really surprised that they're Legos because they don't want to make them.

Okay. Okay, so let's go to the end of this video because there's kind of a fun thing about enjoying alone time. Oh, man. So this is a good thing about living with a Lego collector. So she's sitting and laying in bed here with a sleeping mask on her head. Sometimes your partner is going to want to stay up until who knows when. Not me.

Building layer Legos. You know what? That's okay. Just go to bed. Enjoy sprawling out, stretching out. Oh no. Sleep in silence or meditation. It's a beautiful thing.

For that matter, if they're busy working on their Lego projects on the weekends and you have things you want to do, come live your life. Ah, goddammit. It makes me... Because, like, if I

did that more, this would really hit me hard if I did it more than... Wednesday's the only time where I'm like, I'm doing Legos. That's it it that's all that's happening tonight i'm your wife probably looks at it as a good thing she gets to do her own thing you know what i mean yeah two hours a week is a lot different you know what i mean because most of the time and this makes me feel bad every now and then i'm sitting and doing legos next to her

while she's at her job like at at her, at her real job. And then I'm complaining. Like anytime I start complaining, she'll work with her. Anytime. They're doing the Legos, like in a little common area, like a legitimate office.

I got what sets you want to bring today don't bring four of them and i just i'll be over there like the goddamn thing doesn't connect the right way what the she never says anything about work she never sits there and starts complaining about work to me but i'll be over there like the goddamn ropes aren't long enough on this fucking Titanic. And then I'm getting mad at the Lego set. And I'm just like,

God, that those are the times where I have to think about, wow, she really, she sits here for nine hours a day working next to me, who goes upstairs for two hours, then comes downstairs and dicks around with Legos for the other seven and complains so much more about work than she does i can't even tell you how much more i complain about legos more than she complains about work i have found some really fun uh set series because

some people actually make their own custom minifs. Oh, I've always thought about buying those. So, oh, I've got a couple that I think you might be very, very interested in. So I found this one is kind of fun. It is called the Swinger Couple Mini Fig Set. I'd buy that. Mike sent me a Nazi one time. I said, I'm on these bootleg sites, these Panda Buy and all this shit, looking at all these bootleg sites these panda buy and all this shit looking at all

these bootleg fake fucking shit um and I saw like uh somebody had a bunch of figures on their pigs excuse me um of uh like world war ii sets and stuff so tanks and shit like that but like fucking uh sorry like a with the hat and shit and like the hitler and stuff it's so crazy bro it is it is that i mean i guess every hobby has some nazis in it of course yeah and we're gonna we'll get to that a little bit later too um but this is kind of cool i think i wonder if this is completely or if they've taken like a a piece and just painted it or whatever i'm not sure i don't think that they make the lingerie i don't think lego makes the law of course not like a little you would build like a little thing to put the body in and you would screen print the

we should make many guys many fit yeah just just oh yeah we yeah that actually would be fun like one of you and one of me that would actually be a fun thing but yeah the the if in case you're wondering the guy he's got suspenders on bow tie mustache name's tom his name is tom he's got a name tag that says tom and the woman is wearing some negligee uh of some kind that's kind of a fun one that's kind of a fun one but oh no this one is even more fun actually this one this one's my this one's my favorite one that i found um and it is the it's called the custom horny grandpa so yeah let's see that i would buy that can Can I get that? I would buy that too.

It's kind of, well, there's five left and it's in three baskets. Um, that was, that was a couple, that was a lot of weeks ago that I found this one though. So I don't think they're available.

It is $40 and 69 cents. Uh, the description, many figures with penis, naked man with genitals, dirty grandfather, individual design printed on Lego. I got them.

Crazy figs.com. 25 bucks. I am going to buy this. I can't buy it. They don't have it. They got nude Ashoka from the. So, yeah, this is kind of a cool one because it's like a nude set. It's got the sort of drawn on chest.

It kind of looks like the guy's chest that we saw who had his dick beside the Legos, to be honest. But it also has a penis on it, which is very cool. And I think the penis is something they made themselves or they got a hold of themselves. That's interesting. Squeezed between the torso and the legs is the ring that the penis goes on. That's interesting. That's a very interesting design, yes. It's very kind of cool how they do that.

Brian, you would buy that one? Would. I just did. So, what will you do with that one? That's just to show people on stream. I can't show it on stream. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Where will that go? Once you buy that, you spent $25 on that. You just spent $40 you just spent on that. What do you do with that when you get it? I don't know, but I think it's going to be fun to get it and then my wife and daughter see it. I see. Yeah.

Whoa! Yes, I did just buy it. I shouldn't have bought it, but you know what? You only live once. Yeah, that's true. That's incredible that you bought that. YOLO! We're going to head back over to Brickset.

This is the Brickset page. I'm on there a lot. So they still have a page where there's a lot of comments on articles. There's no forum anymore there, but there's comments on articles. So this is another kind of interesting word. Think of 18+. When you think of 18+, you mostly think of porno pornography or 18 plus or whatever but in the lego world it means something different it means that adults get to feel like they're not playing with the children's toy i mean i like i

said about the titanic i can't even imagine a child trying to carry that box i think it was like 75 pounds okay fair enough i'd love to see how these kids are driving to the lego store i'd love to see that well they get a ride they get a ride with their parents um so robot 99 um he's in the united states this was just after christmas um he's replying to uh uh some type of a set that is 18 plus and says this has to be the most pointless use of the 18 plus branding i've seen yet i don't know but a standard 300 odd piece oh here we go a piece van is probably the most generally appealing and straightforward type of build you can get labeling it as not necessarily for kids because of the retro and the set name i guess is beyond weird i've been thinking that lately too like some of them like they look like

they could be for kids but they just say like oh this is 18 and up because it's something like the atari behind me that wasn't a hard set to put together i could have maybe put that together but they don't know what the fucking atari is you know so somebody somebody says replied to it and said um i don't get it either but most pointless uh you forgot 40532-1 half the count piece and complexity of some of my builds when I was five years old. That's so good to refer to it by the number. Yeah, man. Vintage tax.

So that one is like, it's laughable that that's 18 plus. That's 30 bucks too. I could buy that. Okay, relax, dude. The original poster comes back and says to that, to that reply or says, touche. That's an equally absurd instance. Yeah. Touche.

That's an equally absurd. It is absurd. The vintage taxi. Come on. Oh, it's a promotional one. That's a GWP. I don't know if you can complain about that. What is it?

What's a GWP well they call that a gift with purchase remember i didn't get my gwp when i bought the titanic because oh yes let me use my lego points which that made me so mad it's like come on man i have all these points the guy won't let me use my lego points and then you explain that any further like what was what reason did he give for not allowing you to use your Lego points? He said you have to use your Lego points before you pay with your gift cards. Because I had a bunch of gift cards, and I had some Lego points. And he was like, I can't do it now.

It's too late. Which I didn't want to Karen and call the manager. Also, it's not like you're not going to have an opportunity to use the points again. We've already discussed that you have a serious addiction to this stuff. You will be buying. You already, on this episode, you've bought more Legos. Well, that's a mini fig of a guy with a hog.

That's like way different purchase for me. I'm going to go down and tell my wife about that. She's like, oh, great. Oh, great. Um, Oh, good. So I popped over to lego.com as I mentioned earlier, uh,

to see some reviews of the Lego products. Cause there's a, you're able to give her your reviews. Um, so I found some one star reviews, uh, for some of the products. And the first one I went with was the Lego Titanic.

Oh no. Did you hear that yeah i flubbed i actually would clicked on a thing i was maybe gonna buy this lego mega masters uh masters of the universe thing and the fuck i just closed it i closed it it's closed now okay it won't happen again i won't go lego shopping again during this episode it was a masters of the universe castle of gray skull mega box that is cool and if i'm one thing i was a he-man kid i loved yeah yeah he was i love that i love ninja turtles and i always wanted the fucking Technodrome in the fucking van. My cousin had one. Like in Lego or just in –

No, just the toy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Technodrome was so sick. I had He-Man. I had He-Man stuff when I was younger. I don't remember exactly what I had, but I had all the action figures and stuff. I was really into it as well. I liked He-Man so much when I was a kid and then i started hanging out with

this dude when i was 12 was i was in sixth grade and i started hanging out with this dude and the way we started hanging out was he's like you ever smoked a cigarette and i was like no but i will and uh yeah we would go to his house after school every day and smoke cigarettes and uh then finally he invited and we're doing weed now. We're doing all this stuff. We're 12, 13. Finally invites me in his house and we're in his room and we're listening to music, adult music, like grown up for grownups. And I look over in the closet and he has the He-Man Eternia set.

in the closet and he has the he-man eternia set and i'm like so mad because i'm too old to play with it but i really want to play with it that's in my brain for some reason that's a thing that's been locked in my head is me turning and looking and seeing eternia and being like i can't believe i can't play with this. You know, you don't want to smoke cigarettes and then be like, hey, you want to play He-Man? Play an action figure. But I'm so into He-Man when I was a kid. It was crazy. Entrancing Wild Style 040 has to say this about the Lego Titanic, which comes in at $849 Canadian.

That's Canadian. It's cheaper in America. So this is a one-star review. It says Legos suck, always have, and always will. Fuck that guy. I have critiques of the

Titanic. Okay, just listen to his. Listen to his first. Could not get more than three steps in any build accomplished because of all the missing parts. Come on, Lego. Can't you find people or robots that can detect color shapes and simple integer numbers? That's STEM stuff, isn't it? I bought two of these kits and so far the first

build is a nightmare i'm sure the second gift will be equally frustrating my only question is will it be missing the same parts or completely different ones if this crappy company could be consistent at all at least i would know what parts to order to make the experience better for the next builder legos is overpriced crap okay number one it's not over price crap number two by the way he's he's commenting this on an 850 set so i i think he might have a bit of a point yeah that that one points to i have one critique of the lego titanic and and also the ropes not being long enough um but so more than one all right two but it's repetitive it is a definitely a repetitive build oh i see so you're doing the same things over and over again but i don't mind that it's kind

of relaxing you know i didn't like it when i did the barcelona uh soccer stadium i hated that you you did the oh my god that's here we go now now how much did that one cost that's actually cheap uh those those soccer stadiums are a little bit cheaper now they're on sale because i don't think people loved them very much so i'm not even i'm not even joking i just started thinking like if they have an old trafford one that's where manchester united plays and i'm sure they would because it's the most famous team you know so if they have an old trafford can you look it up i'm looking it's it's 10272 chris 10272 Chris 10272 Okay so how much is it There it is

It's only Oh no It's retired Oh yeah Now you're going to have to go to StockX Which I will do Don't order a fucking generic one Because the pieces might not work see one on

amazon here for 539 there you go chris oh okay so yeah no i won't be doing that because i have a child on the way and i have priorities okay so let's check out another uh review here from lego pay the minimum on your child and then yeah oh they got it for 360 on stock x oh there you go now 360 american 360 american yep yeah so that's a lot that's cheap that's a good price that's about that's still about 600 bucks 500 bucks okay so uh this this one is for the eiffel tower this is another extremely expensive one 800 for the eiffel tower this is a famous famous one that yeah it's very high very very tall i gotta show you the picture of this mike because uh we covered the eiffel tower

one time and on the lego website they're like adults welcome and it's a guy sitting in like a fancy new york apartment like he said like he's an architect or something, you know? Like one of those. Yeah. I got it. I'm going to get it. Because it killed me when I saw it. Because they were just like, there's a guy and he's scratching his chin. And it feels like he's a doctor or a scientist.

Totally. Like he's a guy who's got a glass of whiskey beside him, you know? He's like a classic guy. Brian, while you're looking for that, I will read this review. I love this review for the Eiffel Tower. One star, near impossible. No. I mean, come on, man.

This grown-up could not figure out how to put it together uh i got this set as a christmas present last year i worked on it for about a month till i had to put it to the side and stop building it the whole entire base kept collapsing and i got frustrated and had to stop i rebuilt the base about 30 times fast forward to june 27th and i talked to someone at the lego store and they told me to bring it in i brought it in and they helped me to get the base about 30 times. Fast forward to June 27th, and I talked to someone at the Lego store, and they told me to bring it in. I brought it in, and they helped me to get the base part together. I brought it home and worked every day

until I ended up having a missing piece. This was not a big deal, as I just went out to Lego and requested a new piece. I just got home from traveling yesterday, so I decided to continue building it. I finally finished the whole entire base and middle parts of the set. I decided it would be best time to move the set to my room.

So I took a break from the building to move some stuff and allow it to fit. I moved into my room as well. The whole bottom part of the tower decided to just disconnect when I placed it onto the ground. And now it's all going back together. So this sounds like a nightmare. Can you imagine? I just want to put you, the listener, into this poor man's shoes. I'm guessing I'm putting his age at 54 years old.

He's a 54-year-old man who has bought a children's toy, and he cannot, for the life of him, figure out how to make it work. So I shared the picture. Oh, man. That's huge. It is. it's big it's like i'm reading his newspaper in the corner of his fancy apartment yeah man it's beautiful and it's like okay so this guy this is the type of guy you have to be to figure out how to put this thing together no this guy's stupid i can guarantee because here's here's a quick lego fact it's not a lego fact it's more lego advice the fucking thing is sometimes if you fuck up and you miss a piece because you're building it

and you're not paying attention or whatever maybe it's repetitive and you miss some kind of piece or something like that sometimes the only way to fix it is to take the whole goddamn thing apart and start over again and be more careful and that's just the way it is and i do that all the time i had to do that twice with the titanic i built the first two parts of the build two times so let's check back in with dr mick brick and i tease this as well this is his one of his favorite sets so this is the reasons why he buys his lego this is how he chooses which sets to buy so this is starting off with a lego box that says 14 plus again he's a respected um builder in the community and therefore is not you know handcuffed by the age restrictions he will buy whatever you know that's what that's the correct way to do things all right lego set 76052 14 plus what could

it be dc superheroes i'm still intrigued why it's none other than batman the classic i hate the way he's revealing this hello everybody this is dr mcbrick and that's right i am here with dc comics superheroes 76052 the batman classic tv series batcave i love i love what he's about to say here this is this is great this this right here is one of my most sought after sets and it is sitting here with me in person right now and it's one of my most sought after sets not because it's a particular beautiful build it's not really not not because of some of the construction techniques yeah not so much yeah so he doesn't like the way it looks or what it's like when you're building it. Yeah.

So I'm a little... Okay, let's... There are a few things, however, that I bought this set for. And let me tell you about them. Coming up next. You guys liking the song yet? Yeah. I do like this song.

It's good. It sounds like YKS. Your Kickstarter sucks music when they look at a thing and it's like ding, ding, ding. He, yeah, sorry, but he's going to explain. There is an issue, technical issue. Brick and I am sitting here with the classic tv batman bat cave lego set now i hope you can hear me because for some reason my external microphone it totally petered out on me so i don't have it with me so i have to use the microphone that comes on to the phone and he has an external

microphone like i listened to his other two videos and I thought he was already using a different microphone. Yeah. And that's what I found kind of interesting about this is it almost, he almost sounds better now. So unfortunately that's probably going to cause a little bit of issue with sound and stuff. Nope.

It's better. It's better. And I got this right here. Whoa, look at that uh anyway he moved the camera around oh that's cool then he did that i'm uh before we should you know we've gone we're going for almost an hour 40 minutes here we should start getting into the end here i did want to pop over back into the brick set discord um to share with you uh you know we've talked about these nice Lego people.

I just want to show you a little bit more about the character of this Lego community. So here's a post just a few days ago in the Discord Brickset. This is the original. The channel is the original Brickset forum members. So this is the people from the old school. channel is the original brick set forum members so this is the people from the old school seriously around here there are problems with freaks buying good stuff refilling the packages with junk and returning for refund like a 20 jurassic world triceratops i saw that somebody fig swapped with a previous year version with different deco that's clearancing for five dollars welcome to seattle i gotta do that

so somebody said uh replied and said that's a weird level of effort for a five dollar clearance why is that a weird level of i want to do it i think that they they i agree that it's like you're gonna swap out a twenty dollar one with a five dollar one like just to save fifteen dollars or whatever you're gonna commit like you know you're gonna steal why don't you just go a little bigger um but the the original poster replies says never underestimate the amount of effort a druggie or other crim will put into the avoidance of honest work. Now you're talking like a fucking cyberpunk guy or something. This reminds me of, and the episode hasn't come out yet. I shouldn't even say it, but this reminds me of the guys on Amazon

that talk about Joe Biden and their reviews. Have you ever seen that, Mike? You go to Amazon and you put the review, and they're like, more of this Chinese Joe Biden shit. And you're like, that amazon review and they're like more of this chinese joe biden shit you're like that's not part of the review yeah well i'll tell you what that's how we're gonna we are gonna end this off with some political talk because i think it's important to find out how everybody's feeling politically on the lego forums um but i also i also mentioned that they you can make some money you can invest this can be an investment this is a real thing that can actually happen so i thought it would be but yeah

it would be yeah well obviously i mean you're we've we've established that you are a second rate builder at best uh i'm i'm just not gonna do it because i don't need the money i'm like really i'm doing okay. I just bought a $40 minifig with a big deal. It's funny that I'm saying this because I fucked up paying some of the bills this month, and I paid a couple of them twice. So I'm actually dealing. I don't have as much money as I usually do.

You shouldn't have bought that. Maybe you shouldn't have bought the $40. Maybe you shouldn't have bought the 40 maybe you shouldn't have bought the 40 fucking pay next week we'll just skip a dinner or two yeah yeah we're fine we're doing fine it's just i don't have the amount of money that i want can you imagine know that like it comes down to it just before payday and like your wife can't get something that she needs and then she listens to the episode at the store and then she's on her way home she's listening to the episode like god damn you know what makes me so like it is it is kind of like uh the lego release date sometimes especially when i was making a lot less money would be like the atari 2600 comes out on

the 26th of the month and i would be freaking out thinking i wasn't going to get my hands on that thing like you have to buy the secondary market with the huge markup yeah i don't get paid till the first what if somebody buys all of them and then i can't get one four days from now like i would it would feel bad inside the whole time like i would it would be all i think about like maybe i should just order it and well there's i have a something that you could do which some of the people on the forums did actually that i found was they built themselves a little credit card out of le. It was kind of fun. They said, oh, this is so we can buy more of our Legos, a little plastic so we can buy our plastic.

Yeah. But this is a possible investment, but a lot of people are making mistakes when they invest in Lego. And here's the top five worst Lego investing mistakes. These are the top five worst lego investing mistakes see was the guy i told you you may be making right now number five not buying lego on sale with so this is a huge mistake people are making where they're not buying it on sale. Never investing in Lego. Always, always, always buy them on discount.

Well, it's not like buying that many. Okay. Because I've been seeing like a real, I've been seeing like a real like raise in people who are criminals collecting Legos like every, every couple of weeks now. Don't try to make it more cool. Don't, don't try to make it more cool though. Like, yeah,

I've noticed some of like the most bad-ass outlaws get into Lego. Like, no, they aren't. Money. So you can invest in more Lego and two to increase your return on your cash if you are not buying lego on clearance or discount you are literally flushing money down the toilet they're not literally doing it i i know i shouldn't do that but it's kind of like

what if you want to buy your legos and play with them like amazon and walmart you can consistently find sets that are 20 discounted and sometimes it's even possible to strike gold and find sets on clearance in retail stores for 50 off and more. eBay can also... Insane voice on this guy. I know. He sounds 11. He sounds like he's very young. He has no business talking about Legos. Yeah, that wouldn't track, would it, Ryan?

What does he know about it? Yeah, he doesn't know shit. Thank you, Mike. ...to find discounted sets such as the Justifier. The only exception is if you are buying lego sets that are target or lego store exclusives since they go on sale less frequently but in general do not make the mistake of buying lego sets at full retail price when you can get them for 20 to 50 off that's good advice that's not just good advice for lego either i mean i don't know what well mike you i i know you're kind of i don't know

if you're the best guy to talk about i know you're not for big investors and stuff and mike is just he he's always telling me how much he loves paying full price and how it just makes him feel like he's got full value and stuff but i mean i would say that this is pretty good advice in general is you know if you can find something for 20 off 50 off i'm gonna go 50 off i'm gonna get this yeah anytime anytime you can find something where it's cheaper than uh usually is that's usually a good sign oh yeah i think you might have hit the jackpot there i think expensive stuff is better number one and that's really funny because brian literally actually has a different attitude on it i mean but you would recognize if it was a normal price was high and it was on sale that's good right

brian the issue is that i i'm not waiting for anything i wait for no yeah it's true i just go and get what i want and then deal with it later i used to when i was when i was uh in my 20s and stuff we would go to concerts so i loved going to concerts i can't even imagine going to one now um but i loved going to concerts and it would be like payday and i'd be like well we could pay the electric bill or we could see nine inch nails and i would use nine inch nails every single fucking time or corn or something like that like and then we'd be on the phone with the cable come or with the electric company like oh we just can't pay it we had some pretty unexpected stuff happen is there any way we can get an extension on i'm the complete opposite i'm so terrified of being late on anything i will pay everything

as soon as i get paid and then at the end of the month because we only get paid once a month the end of the month i'm like oh shit i shouldn't have paid every single fucking bill that we have i do that thing about having twitch is that it's not it's not as much as it was before but it's middle of the month so it means that i get paid every two weeks instead of only getting that one fucking payment a month as well you know it's tough getting paid once a month it's like you start to try to figure out what an amount would be that would make you comfortable but it's so different and you're right like i get paid i pay a ton of fucking bills and i and and also convince

myself that no more money's ever going to come into the house again even though my wife gets paid every two weeks i'm always like uh fuck that's all the money forever and then i start having anxiety attacks about it some people don't have a problem with getting paid once a month like there are certain types of people with a certain brain that just aren't completely organized but yeah for definitely me and i think you guys are the same as me in this way that i really do struggle with that i would i would i would prefer it happens in the middle of the month or something like fucking get into a car accident or something you know oh yeah yeah it's like any other situation where you know you're living a paycheck paycheck to

paycheck or whatever and i love buying stuff mike i don't know if you know this but man i love to go somewhere and buy a thing that's like basically my favorite thing to do is go to the store and buy something makes you feel good yeah i'm looking for a mattress now and i'm so excited that we get to go get a mattress spend a bunch of money on something i'm like oh man it's gonna be so tough i'm gonna sleep so good on this purple mattress actually afraid to pull the trigger on one of those mattress companies i got it's pretty good oh good because i've been afraid to pull the trigger on like purple or casper or any of that stuff because i figured that was junk you know okay are you guys done with your little chat can i do my show do you think i do my show? Do you think I can do my show now? Yeah.

So I mentioned the political element of it. I went back to the Eurobricks forum. And it does seem like even though it's Eurobricks forum, it has a lot of American people in it. They talk American politics and stuff as well. So we picked this up in the middle of a thread. This is Lego David. And he's quite infamous on this forum because people are well aware of them. They're like, oh, look, Lego David's back. So he is not well liked at all. So somebody is at he's responding to something. And the thing he's responding to is from Dan. And Dan is responding.

Dan says, please point me to any evidence you have regarding Lego actively endorsing a specific political candidate or trying to influence an election. Whoa. Imagine what the rest of the discussion was. It is like there is a hundred things in here talking about all different types of politics. And so Lego David said, as I said already, the choice of supporting blm by straight up giving them money is basically aligning them with a particular party it is not as extreme as endorsing a particular candidate or trying to influence an election they will probably never do that because they are danish a danish company so why would they care who rules america well i mean i think everybody should care who rules um but it still

is very much a political move the fact that they've even gone as far as pulling advertising for the police city sets shows that they seem to have a pretty big dedication to this cause so they're going a little bit too far in that in. But somebody else responds to this thread. This is a new member. And this is the last post that we're going to have on this episode. It's from Merlostenik. I am a new member, but I've been following the forum for quite some time. And I find it sad that every time there is a cool new topic about Lego, those persons who have to introduce their gender and their beliefs and ruin or get locked for the whole forum, just so they can use the opportunity to voice their beliefs or how to call it.

So no one is offensed. Come on. Oh, I don't want to be offensed at all. Or else, please. I hate to name anyone, but I fully agree with Alan P. and Lego David. Oh, you shouldn't agree with Lego David. Sorry to say, but this Alexandria guy seems to provoke the most. He just can't enjoy Lego without forcing the gender stock.

Don't do it on a Lego forum. This is a Lego forum. This is not an LGBT, gay, or I believe I am this gender forum. Having said that, and to get back to the real Lego conversation, yes, OP, I love Lego, and I love what it has done for me. I enjoy their products, mainly parts, as I like to build mock. Okay, a little respect there. And I like the joy I feel when I build.

They have had their questionable moments, but I still love them. P.S. Sorry, mods, if this sounds harsh. I just hate to see this beloved forum clogged with this instead of great mocks and such. Please don't let the forum go woke. Thank you. Because we're sitting here trying to talk about Legos. and such please don't let the forum go woke thank you where's the 4x4s where are the mocs where are the people warning me against buying the breaking bad thing because the pieces don't fit together and the construct constructions the instructions are so that was an eight-year-old mistake by the way so you made fun of me i say constructions it doesn't

matter by the way because you can't get called out for a flub because you're not the you're not hosting the episode today so yeah fine you're totally fine yeah we don't want to read about the wokeness we don't want to read about it well i have one last quick video and this video is a lego builder named boone builds and i just wanted to show you guys that these lego builders these lego guys they aren't just about lego sometimes they have other interests and so i want to show you the things this is a lego channel but this is not a lego video this is not a Lego video. This is called Things I Made on My Birthday. This gives you an idea of the kind of guys we're dealing with here.

Boone here. It is July 9th, 2018. I am 34 years old today and I am going to spend my entire day just trying to create as many things as I can. Won't you join me? So that's kind of cool. That's kind of a fun thing. Let's see what he's going to build here. I'd imagine it's going to indicate that he's part of a very cool community. Here we go. A guy with a huge penis?

Because I got that coming in the mail. I love gaining inspiration from other people. So I've had this idea for a while that I would take quotes that I find inspiring from other creators and turn each into some sort of artistic expression of that quote or the creator. This one. So worried about the quote here. You're worried about it. Well, no, don't worry.

This is just one of your cool Lego buddies here, and got worried. You're worried about it. Well, no, don't, don't worry. This is like just one of your cool Lego buddies here. And he's quoting one of his favorite creators. So here we go. That's I have the typewriter. Sort of artistic expression of that. Oh, so that's what he's doing. He's using a Lego typewriter,

the letters from the Lego typewriter to paste them onto the, so this is Lego related. I didn't realized. Whatever, man. We're over. We're done you showing your fucking LEGOs. I found that one to be a little tougher of a build. Quote, or the creator.

This one from Elon Musk is kind of silly and fun. Silly and fun things are important important Musk said this in response to questions about him sending one of his Teslas into space on a rocket it's going to be a fun little depiction

of a car going to space on a rocket so there you go, Brian. Me and my friends love his birthday. Doing this all day. This guy chose on his birthday to make a project based on craft paper

at the age of 34 based on his favorite Elon Musk quote. How would Elon Musk have all this money if he was stupid? You know what I mean? That's not even a question. It's just, again,

I mean, just the pure sadness of this I thought was a real good way to end the episode. I found some good information. I found out a lot of stuff I found one of the Big issues is the cost it seems to break up A lot of relationships Very expensive And but I

Will say they're big time Nerds in this community and there are some You know these annoying Anti-woke people or whatever but My final Feelings are they're not that bad lego people are not that bad compared comparatively to some of the people that we've dealt with they're nerds but they're not hurting anybody you know and i understand a little bit creating a thing and

building it and having that thing that you're done afterwards that's what i do yeah yeah if you you guys should have a physical list of guys and then put... You should take Lego guys out of the slot and put them one step ahead of racist guys. They're way better than racist guys. I'll agree with that. Guess who just

went ahead of racist guys on the list? That's right. Hey, Mike, where can people find you? will uh be doing my podcast uh yks my favorite yks your kickstarter sucks one of the truly best and funniest podcasts in the world that's not a lie two of the fun guys in the world one that i will be sit i'll tell you this mike i'll be sitting playing legos and listening to you guys and my wife will be sitting working listening to you guys and we'll be on different parts and we'll just be giggling yeah no ariel listens as well and sometimes i'll come into the bathroom and you guys your voices

are just going in the bathroom she's got it playing you know while the shower's on and i think their show and i'll turn it off or you got to, got to get out. But yeah, it's, it's fun. It's fun in the moment. I think their show has the two best, the best voices in all the shows.

Like it's, it feels good to listen to, but also I want to say before we go, uh, okay. We've been doing this for one year and, uh, I wanted to thank Chris obviously and Mike for being around all the time but also

i mean i don't listen i don't want to split hairs here but maybe like maybe those two thanks shouldn't be just grouped together like as if we've done the same i mean i'm here for every no i i mean chris i appreciate you so much and i love love that Mike comes on as like a regular guest and that the Chapo guys had me on the show to promote this thing early on. And the Pendejo time guys had me on to promote. So like, I just thanks everybody for helping me out because one year ago I was in a total complete meltdown panic mode and I'm doing way better now. And I will

say after one year of doing it, and the first episode was us three. So I was I don't know if I've mentioned this before anywhere on the podcast. But I remember Brian asked me about doing this podcast, like initially just coming on the first episodes, because I wasn't originally a co host. But he sort of explained to me what it is and I don't know that I fully understood what the podcast was until about 35 minutes into the first episode so I was like I was sort of like basically the way I was like oh Brian wants to do something with me I will do it because Brian's the best and whatever he's going to do is going to be good but I was like oh you know I don't really know what he's talking about here.

And then when I sort of it dawned on me and I realized what it was, I thought, oh, this is a fucking fantastic idea. And I think people have responded not just to you and I, but also to the idea, the concept of it. So, yeah, hopefully we can do it for, you know, one to two more years and then do something a little bit more rewarding. Hopefully we can do it for, you know, one to two more years and then do something a little bit more rewarding. And can I say, I didn't know what it was until about 35 minutes into the first episode. But yeah, the Chapo guys had me on. And like I said, the Pandejo time guys had me on like early to promote. And the Doughboys came on an early episode, like Gabrus came on an early episode. Gabrus came on an early episode. I was basically willed to kind of wear this.

You were basically Will Manikert. No, no, no. I'm saying that a community kind of came together and made this thing happen. I've told this to Jesse, too. I've talked to you guys up a lot. I've also done a lot of shit talking. It's about 50-50. Don't let us get too. I've talked to you guys up a lot. I've also done a lot of shit talking. It's about 50-50. Don't let us get too...

I was so proud of those guys about what they did and everything. Brian and everything is popping off and everybody's having such fun with it. It's so fun. Well, not everybody, DB. There's a couple of people over on Twitter who got a little bit of an issue with me. Too many of the jokes and whatnot.

All right, everyone. We're going home. See ya. Bye.
