In this episode, the boys talk about all things "sound"! Like, what is it? If a tree falls and no one's around to hear it, does it make any? What's the sound barrier and how do we store sound files on a computer? Tune in to learn more and also to hear Brandon call himself the "answer daddy" (which we know you've all secretly been waiting for).
