39: Mt. Rushmore of Non-Lego Building Toys

For 38 episodes, we’ve heard Michael and Richard do battle against in other in trying to come up with the perfect Mt. Rushmore for many topics. Now something unthinkable has happened. Like Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, the Superpowers have teamed up to fight a common enemy – Disney Channel producer/minor Kansas City celebrity Scott Jones, a noted expert in all things Lego.

Except the topic isn’t Legos! In fact, it’s every other type of building toy. Will Michael and Richard’s tag team be enough to construct a win, or will it fall apart? Listen to find out.
