Henry Pinto and Cade Franklin were the first-ever winners of the Lego Masters Australia TV series.

The show was a ratings hit and was also the beginning of a beautiful friendship for the two winners who have since released a book together - The Thrilling Adventures of Brick Dad - filled with dad jokes and illustrated with their own Lego builds.

Henry and Cade join Julia Newbould on the Friends With Money podcast to talk about the start of their friendship, the brick sets they won't let their kids play with, and how they're investing in Lego!
