S1 E18: The Hidden Nerd Within – Mega Construx, Mini Painting, and Frisbee Golf with Brandon Bullough
In this sibling showdown, James is joined by his “younger, cooler, and allegedly more handsome” brother, Brandon Bullough. They dive deep into Brandon’s hidden (but undeniable) nerdiness—from his Halo Mega Construx obsession and miniature painting hobby to his disc golf deep dive. Whether you’re curious about the decline of Mega Bloks, intimidated by the world of mini painting, or looking for a new hobby that gets you outside and collecting plastic discs, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and nerdy goodness. Plus, James shares the tragic tale of finishing second-to-last in a 5K fun run—medal and all.
