- You feeling ready?
- Yeah, I just had this feeling like I'm diffusing a bomb
and you're piping in and I have to listen intently.
And if I don't,
then this'll go horribly wrong.
- Friends, welcome back to Brick X Brick.
It is time for an amazing build challenge.
And we've got an amazing creator, an amazing friend, Brad,
who's gonna come by today
and I'm really going to throw curve balls his way
with a very challenging build.
He's not gonna be able to see my build.
I'm not gonna be able to see his build.
Let's go.
Brad, thank you so much for being here today.
Thank you so much for hanging out.
Are you ready for this major Lego challenge?
- I was born ready to do this.
I've been practicing my whole life.
- You've been building your whole life?
- No, but, I mean,
I've watched people do Lego a lot.
- And you have kids now. - Yeah.
- Are your kids into Lego?
- My son is seven and is obsessed,
has built so many cool things.
That's one of our favorite things to get to do together.
And actually he should be the one doing this, not me.
But I wanna make him proud
so my goal is to not embarrass myself today.
- You're not gonna embarrass yourself.
And as far as doing it right,
as long as you're trying, as long as we're having fun,
that's as right as it gets.
- So, you've got your bag
and inside the bag there are three smaller bags.
- Even just the sound of these.
Listen.
Are there videos
of just being able to listen to Lego sounds?
- Like a white noise machine?
- Yeah.
- Just Lego shifting sifting through.
- It's very pleasant.
- Okay, here we go.
So, we're gonna start with the two by four brick.
And we're gonna put that squarely
on top of that light gray two by four plate.
- [Brad] I think I nailed it.
- [Adam] Great.
All right, so now we've got four brackets
that we're gonna put on.
So the black ones are gonna go on the short side.
Almost like our little white brick is wearing like a vest.
I guess it's the opposite vest.
It's just the sleeves.
Whatever a reverse vest is called.
- A bad idea.
- All right, and then our gray brackets
are gonna cover up the four remaining white dots.
- [Brad] I think I'm good.
- Actually at this point,
your white brick has kind of disappeared.
- I think you're gonna be impressed.
I think you're gonna be impressed, Adam.
- Amazing. Okay.
So the light gray is gonna line up with the dark gray square
and then the lower side of the two sand green pieces
are gonna be on top of the black brackets.
- [Brad] Is this a jet ski?
Are we building a jet ski?
- We are not building a jet ski.
I love that guess.
So now we're gonna take our one by two white plates
and we're gonna make two stacks of two of them.
The piece that's going to be the front side
is gonna get that orange, kind of cool trapezoid.
So that orange cool trapezoid is gonna go
so that the shorter side is sticking up
and the wider side is sticking down.
And our not a jet ski is off to a good start.
Do you have a guess as to what it is now
that you know it's not a jet ski?
- [Brad] It's one of those bull riding machines
that they have in Nashville.
- But this will give you more
than eight seconds of enjoyment.
We're gonna be making two sets of identical elements.
You feeling ready?
- [Brad] Yeah, I just had this feeling
like I'm diffusing a bomb and you're piping in
and I have to listen intently.
And if I don't,
then this'll go horribly wrong.
- No matter what you do,
do not cut the wire,
Do do cut the wire.
- Oh, which wire?
- We're gonna start with all of these black plates.
Instead of having eight separate pieces,
we're gonna have four pieces.
So we're gonna take each pair
and we're gonna turn one of the plates around
and put it on the other.
So are the white clips
are gonna clip on to the upstairs bar.
- [Brad] Okay.
- [Adam] It is time to take these sand green tiles
- Got it.
- and cover up those remaining black studs.
- [Brad] It's good as done. - [Adam] It's two by twos.
It is good as done, Adam.
- [Adam] So we're going to attach these pieces to our build.
Remember we have our dark gray bracket.
We can still see four openings.
Two on the right side and two on the left side?
- [Brad] Yes.
- [Adam] These pieces that we've just now created
are the pieces that connect.
- What you are cooking is being smelled.
- Amazing. It is time for the last bag, the final bag.
- The last bag.
Okay, okay, okay, okay. - Brad, backpack.
There's another bag!
I need help, I need help.
Okay, I don't even know if this is okay
with the rules or whatever
but I need a seven year old.
Come on up here buddy, come on, come on.
- I'll allow it.
I'll allow it! - For a friend!
I'll allow it.
- All right buddy, are you ready?
- Yes. - Okay, okay.
- All right Miles, the stakes are super duper high.
We've only got a few minutes left.
Your dad's been doing a great job,
but he needs that pro level help.
That's why you're here.
And now we're onto the very, very last element.
Here we go.
We've got our orange two by two plate. Okay?
On top of our orange two by two plate,
we're gonna put two white brackets.
And these are the brackets that stick up
and these brackets are gonna face opposite directions.
- We're going all the way to state, Adam.
- Amazing.
All right, final stretch, final stretch.
We've got these white one by one plates
and the white subs connect on the back half.
And then your socket snaps onto your ball.
Did you guys do it?
What do you guys have?
What do you have? What'd you build?
- We have put together
what we believe is a...
- Cat?
- A cat, question mark.
- A cat, question mark. It's a mammal.
- Yeah, it's catty. It's mammal-y.
I can be all sorts.
Ah, you did so great.
- Look what we got. - It looks amazing.
It looks amazing.
Oh my gosh, that was so much fun.
Brad was amazing.
Miles was amazing.
I hope you enjoyed it.
You can build along with us.
And if you don't think you wanna blind build,
think it Brick X Brick my friends.
And the instructions are right in this book,
along with a ton of other ones.
It's a lot of great stuff in here.
Thank you so much.
Take care.
- Aren't you glad that your book has pictures? Because.
- I don't know how we're gonna do the audio book section.
It's going to be very, very tense for me.
It's going to be 47 hours long.
