How to Build a 2KM Skyscraper - #95

About this episode

This week, we're digging into The B1M's latest video "Experts Explain Saudi Arabia’s 2KM Skyscraper". Together, the lads react to the news that Saudi Arabia are planning to build a 2KM skyscraper - potentially the tallest building/structure ever created. We give our opinions and ask if this could this actually be built?

Later in the episode, we cover:
