Missing Pieces

In the first ever episode of Extra Pieces, I read your comments on kids and smart phones.  This episode features testimonials and advice from people of all ages on when and how children should have access to technology.

I discuss Amazon Prime Days (now in October?), why I want the new iPhone 12, finishing the LEGO 1989 Batmobile, my next build, and a show we just finished on Netflix: Cobra Kai.

I discuss some health issues Roxy has been having and ponder on the prospect of our school and Clark returning to a 5 day in-person school week.  I also mention how our love of LEGO Super Mario continues on and how I've started building the LEGO Batmobile while Clark destroys the backlog.

I discuss how I almost didn't make this episode because I didn't think I had anything to share. In my mind, this week was "just another week."  Then I reviewed all the footage I recorded of our daily activities and realized there was all kinds of things that happened...both good and bad.  I share those stories with you and bring your comments to life in viewer/listener feedback.

I discuss the "Dave Story", where one of my Bespin Duel sets are going, how a few viewers helped save my Nintendo set, and my attempts to preorder an Xbox Series X and the LEGO Adidas shoes.

I discuss how I've been making this podcast for a year, talk about how a  a nice message can go a long way, express my gratitude for all the  positivity I've received recently, give a remote learning update,  explain how nostalgia plays a big role in my life, and last but not  least, share listener feedback from last week.

I discuss week 2 of remote learning Kindergarten then jump into the massive amount of viewer feedback from last week where you guys discuss school, things that would make your life easier, your life goals and so much more!

I discuss Clark's first week of school as a remote student and LEGO sets  that have been revealed that I don't plan to buy.  I also review viewer  feedback and wins of the week.

In this special episode, our Friday Night Patron-Only stream becomes a missing pieces episode.  I discuss my win of the week, which was bringing my gaming stream back to YouTube.  I also discuss the history of my gaming channel and my goal for it in the future.  I also have a conversation about being 3 years "self-unemployed" and how I prefer to work alone and be in control of my own destiny.  I discuss school going back in session and my thoughts on Clark staying home with me.  Lastly, I reflect on the future of my YouTube career and my life.

I discuss how much we've enjoyed LEGO Super Mario and share my opinion LEGO Stranger Things Upside Down.  I show my progress on the LEGO NES and some improvements I've made in the studio. I mention some changes I'm considering for the brickitectLIVE and a new series I'm considering called "Thought of the Week".  I also talk about why we canceled HelloFresh and my watch of the week: Chernobyl.
