The boys try to read the most difficult novel of all time. In a week.
In a passive-aggressive Hail Mary for the ages, Ben lashes out at Adam's literary prowess and challenges the group to read James Joyce's Ulysses in seven days. And thus was born "The Ulysses Challenge," which will no doubt sweep TikTok!
Featuring standup comedy clips from Hannah Jones and our own Adam Cayton-Holland!
