Long time fan of J. and Ben Carlin. They just seem so relatable/ approachable. Doesn't hurt that they are into a lot of the same nerd stuff as me!

In regards to episode 53:
Also, I am a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. I am also an instructor. When we break boards, we actually do just go to Lowe's and buy wood, specifically pine. It can be cut to different widths, 4 inches being the easiest and it can go up from there (I've seen 12 inches which is pretty difficult). When we break cement blocks, those are also just bought from Lowe's (or Home Depot). The key is that they just have to be dry. Once COVID is over, come to Connecticut and I'll show you how to do it.

Ep. #53: We actually do just go to Lowe's
