Robert Whiteman was the "lost" 1990 Nintendo World Champion, but over the past two and a half decades, he had been hiding in plain site until his rival Mike Iarossi found him in 2018.
In this episode, Bob talks about his unlikely journey to the championship, the bond he and his father shared on that journey, and his love of Minecraft.
