- Friends, welcome back to Brick by Brick.
I'm your host, Adam Ward,
and we have a super special episode today
with a super special guest,
one of Soul Pancake's beloved family members,
Oskar Velazquez.
(kazoo sound)
- Hey guys, that's right, I'm a part of
Soul Pancake's family just recently, actually.
I got my new show, Going There.
It's about me and my girlfriend
traveling across the country,
going to every state in America,
trying to talk to people about life's big questions.
- And Oskar went to 48, 48 states?
- 48 states, yeah,
with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii.
- Yeah, well, Hawaii's really hard to drive to.
Do you feel up to a Lego challenge?
- I'm down.
- You feeling pretty Lego-y right now?
- Yeah.
- You got some Lego vibes?
- A little Legotronic.
- A little Legotronic?
Well, we have a wheel filled with different Lego challenges,
so if you wanna give it a spin.
- Let's do it.
(kazoo music)
Are you rooting for a color right now?
- Going for purple.
- Oh, purple.
Oh, you got translucent red.
Pull it out, let's see what it is.
What will the challenge be?
- One-handed build.
- A one-handed build.
Studio, what should we build?
Form of transportation.
Oskar, are you ready?
- It's all ready.
(chime)
Have you ever been on a road trip, Adam?
- I have, I've been on a few.
I love going on road trips.
That's one of my favorite things.
Have you traveled much outside of the country?
- No, I'm from Mexico, so I go there quite often,
but besides that, not really.
- How do you feel building one-handed?
Is it wild?
- It's wild.
(laughing)
(bell ringing)
- Hands up.
(laughing)
- Whoa.
So, I was going for more like a off-road kinda vehicle.
- [Adam] It's really sweet.
- And the thing about this car,
it's got no doors, so you gotta hold on tight.
You fit right in there, right in the middle.
- Okay, so my vehicle, I grabbed a wing
and I thought about making a winged vehicle,
but I couldn't immediately find
the other wing that I wanted,
so I was like, "Well, what does it look like
"if you just turn a wing into a car?" So--
- Does it steer, or is it just--
- It just goes straight.
There's no turns in this vehicle.
This vehicle, it sets its eyes
on where it wants to go, and then it just like pfff.
Do you feel up to doing a blindfolded build?
- Yeah.
- Okay, we're gonna do a blindfolded build.
And we are gonna have our wonderful studio audience tell us
what we're gonna build.
A landmark.
All right.
(chime)
- How's your build going over there?
- I've put together so far three pieces.
What's nice is anything can be a landmark.
- What landmarks have you seen?
- What landmarks have I seen?
I've seen a lot in this country.
I've been to Paris, so I've seen the Eiffel Tower.
Let's see, what other landmarks have you seen?
- We did the biggest ball of twine.
That was in, what was it, Kansas?
- [Adam] Wow, how big was it?
- It was big.
- As advertised?
- Yeah.
- That's nice.
(bell ringing)
- It's so bright in here.
- Whoa!
So this is the Statue of Liberty,
and, so this right here is obviously her face,
this is the torch, and then this,
it was supposed to be the arm that is down by her side.
Or I guess it's right here.
- So I think it's holding a book.
- Yeah, yeah, what do you got?
- It's a redwood forest with, you know,
the biggest trees on Earth.
- How did this piece stay like this?
It's crazy.
- Oh, with a plate wedged in between?
Yeah, that's kind of a fun build if you take--
It's a fun technique.
If you take a plate, you can stick it vertically
in between two studs to kinda create height.
Should we do one more?
- Let's do it.
- [Adam] All right.
- It says speed build.
- Speed build!
Okay, so we get both of our hands,
we get both of our eyes,
but we get very limited time.
So we have 90 seconds,
half the time we've had for other builds.
A minute and a half to build what, friends?
A giant something.
90 seconds to build a giant something.
(chime)
Oh my God, okay!
- My heart is racing, literally.
So do you have any idea what you're building?
- Uh, it's some sort of vehicle.
I thought about the biggest thing ever,
and then I saw wings, so I though of
the Spruce Goose, a gigantic plane.
How about you?
- Don't know, just kinda putting pieces
till they get big.
- [Adam] Love it.
(bell ringing)
- Whoa, yours got way bigger.
- Yeah, mine got pretty big.
I used some big pieces.
- At first, I just started going for height,
so I started stacking a bunch of pieces,
but then the time got to me,
so I had to put a face on there.
I got those two eyes on there.
- Well, he's very unique.
Does he have a name?
- [Oskar] Let's call him Will.
Will is his name.
- I've made, it's a very oversized plane.
It's got wheels, it's super impractical.
There's just stacks and stacks of pieces,
'cause I was just going to try to make something big.
Does Will want a ride?
- If we can get him on.
- Yeah, I think we can probably
click him in there or something.
- [Oskar] Oh, it's perfect!
- Oskar, thank you so much for coming on the show.
I had such a great time playing with you
and playing these Lego challenges.
If people wanna see more of your stuff,
where can they see it?
- They can click right here.
This is my show Going There.
But Adam, what if they wanna watch more of you?
Where do they go for that?
- Well, they can see more Brick by Brick
by clicking this box and watching it
right here on Soul Pancake.
We will see you next time.
We're gonna keep building.
I'm using both my hands, both my eyes.
- I wanna finish Will, actually.
