DAVID HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED
IN THIS PROJECT?
WERE YOU A GOOD DODGEBALL
PLAYER IN SCHOOL?
AND ONE OF THE TOP DODGEBALL
ATHLETES IN MY HOSPITAL IN MY
HIGH SCHOOL.
NOW.
I ALWAYS LOVED BASKETBALL.
IT'S A THING THAT I GREW UP
PLAYING AND LOVING.
AND THIS WAS THE PERFECT
OPPORTUNITY.
I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO DO A DODGEBALL SHOW.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE KIDDING
WHEN THEY CALLED.
BUT I'M SUPER GLAD THAT THEY
DECIDED NOT TO CANCEL IT.
IT REALLY IS A FUN SHOW.
IT'S FUN TO LAUGH AT PEOPLE
WIPING OUT ALL THE TIME.
THE COURSE IS AMAZING.
TELL US A BIT ABOUT THIS.
SO WERE SEEING SOME OF IT ON
THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
BUT THIS IS ENORMOUS.
TELL US ABOUT THIS COURSE.
THIS COURSE IS FILLED WITH
SO MANY DIFFERENT OBSTACLES.
THERE ARE BALANCE BEAMS THAT
ARE ALL LUBRICATED.
THERE HAVE DOMES YOU HAVE TO
JUMP OVER.
THERE ARE TOWERS HAVE TO CLIMB
TO THE TOP OF.
THEY HAVE TIRE SWINGS AND BALLS
COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION.
GIANT INDIANA JONES SIZE BALLS.
THERE'S GATLING GUNS I MEAN HOW
MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF BALLS
DO WE HAVE?
WE HAVE EVERY KIND OF BALL.
MY FAVORITE IS THE BIG INDIANA
JONES BALL THAT COMES ROLLING
BEHIND THE PLAYERS AS THEY
START THE OBSTACLE COURSE.
I LOVE PAT.
COME BY ANYTIME.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE TAKEN
ENOUGH ABUSE TODAY.
I SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SOME
OF THIS MONEY.
YOU'VE EARNED IT.
WHEN DOES THE SHOW GO ON
AIR?
THIS IS GREAT.
WEDNESDAYS.
GO AHEAD.
WEDNESDAYS AT 9 PM ON
DISCOVERY.
MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN.
THAT IS EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU GUYS.
SERIOUSLY THE SHOW LOOKS GREAT
AND I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH IT.
QUIT HITTING ME WITH BALLS.
WE ARE SUCH ADULTS HERE.
I THINK YOU'VE BEEN
ELIMINATED FROM THE SHOW AT
THIS POINT.
I'M LIKE A TWO WEEK OLD
BANANA.
I HAVE BRUISES ALL OVER MY
BODY.
THANK YOU GUYS.
HAVE A GREAT ONE.
THAT SHOW LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH
