    LEGO Day: Memories, The Goonies and Roblox

    Thursday 29th January 2021 is International LEGO Day, so our trio of Geek Dads decided to invite a guest from across the pond and dedicate an entire episode to our favourite toy (or favorite toy for Matt)!  Join Robbie, Pete, Dave and Matt as they discuss their first memories with the timeless Danish bricks, and how they are still continuing to play in their adult lives. They also pitch their ideas for new LEGO sets that don't yet exist (not as easy as you'd think) and nominate their Geek of the Week.
