On this episode of LTN Pulse, the guys recap Tantrum Con 2026 along with special guest Pastor Michael Saunders—and what starts as light convention chatter quickly turns into youth group confessionals, destroyed ping pong tables, late night rulebook meltdowns, and the ongoing debate about whether male brains are ever fully formed.
But underneath the jokes and mascot racing strategy is something deeper: why sitting at a table matters, why shared hobbies open doors, why community isn’t accidental, and what it really looks like to build meaningful connections at a convention. From reconnecting with people year after year to unexpected spiritual conversations sparked by cardboard and wooden pieces, this episode is about using what you love to love people well.
