00:00How do you say it? Where are you guys going to be?
00:01Hi, I'm Kathy. My favorite sled was.
00:03No, no, no. I'm trying to think of what my favorite was.
00:04I approve of the sled, too.
00:05Okay.
00:06All right, ready?
00:07And now, Preston and Steve on 93.3 WMMR.
00:13Yay!
00:16It is happening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:18We are live at Jack Cross Mountain.
00:21It's Preston and Steve's show, Cardboard Classic.
00:23Yes!
00:24We'll talk to some of the sled makers
00:26throughout the course of the morning
00:27and hear their stories.
00:28I already see trailers backing up
00:31into the Tubing Hill area.
00:33So, yeah, people are already arriving
00:35and getting set in place.
00:36It's just, you know,
00:37here and here, incredible creativity
00:39and engineering by our listeners.
00:41It's an amazing,
00:42it was the best Cardboard Classic yet.
00:43It was so great.
00:44We were the ones that made Bird Bot last year.
00:47So, the one that went down in the blizzard, yeah.
00:50Probably not the greatest of ideas
00:52to have an 18-foot tall bird going down the hill,
00:54but it made it and it was an awesome time.
00:57We love this event.
00:59We had the 10-foot tall American flag.
01:01We had a 422 sucks.
01:03We had the Wawa Hoagie bus.
01:04Sprint car.
01:06Sprint car.
01:06I broke my leg on the Wawa Hoagie bus.
01:09What else?
01:10What else do we have?
01:11We didn't pull this out last year
01:12because of the weather last year.
01:14Where did you keep it all year?
01:15We stored it at Sequoia.
01:17What sled did you have?
01:18We had a giant eagle sled
01:19with the flags that fell apart all the way down.
01:21Yes.
01:22Giant Super Bowl trophy.
01:24I don't think anything really made it last year.
01:26That's why you see the sumo suits every year
01:31because of the wrestling ring.
01:32And last year...
01:33Our sled melted on the way up here
01:34and we just throw it over the guardrail on 476.
01:37What do you mean it melted?
01:38Because it was snowing
01:39and we didn't have a tarp
01:40and it just kind of started to melt.
01:42It was a guardrail.
01:43So it's on 476 and we're still, I'm sure.
01:46Good thing it's cardboard.
01:47It's biodegrading right now.
01:48So it's all right.
01:49It's all green made.
01:50It's a piece of crap beer mug.
01:52A roller coaster one year.
01:54How many years have you been coming to Carboard Classic?
01:57What's this?
01:57I'm going to say eight.
01:58This is our eighth year competing.
02:00Yeah, eighth year.
02:01This is my first.
02:02I'm losing my Carboard Classic virginity, if you will.
02:04Twelve.
02:05This is the third year.
02:06Third year.
02:06Third year.
02:07Every year.
02:07Eleven years.
02:08Eleven.
02:09Every year we build
02:10and we want two sleds
02:11because we always want
02:12at least the chance
02:13to get one of them on the sled.
02:15We're trying to always do something
02:16that's radio related.
02:18Well, it's the Slinky Dog roller coaster
02:20from Toy Story
02:21and then, you know,
02:22we have Woody and Blasso
02:24and Buzz Lightyear
02:26and Jeffy
02:27and Fat Bo Peep
02:29and Mr. Potato Head
02:31and Mrs. Potato Head.
02:33We have more coming
02:34but they're not,
02:34they're just not trash yet.
02:36Step on to the boat.
02:37Step on to the party bellows.
02:38Hey, second peak.
02:39Step up.
02:40If you notice,
02:41we have the bottles of moonshine,
02:46you know, like snakebite.
02:48If you go around the boat,
02:49you see there's like a lot of details inside.
02:51This is so cool.
02:53You can stand on them.
02:54This is intense.
02:56The motor,
02:57go to the back of the boat,
02:58check out the motor.
02:59It's so detailed.
03:00It's another Lego theme.
03:02So, it's for my son.
03:03I do it for my son.
03:04See down here,
03:05it says Cooler O'Reilly.
03:07Come here, come take a look
03:08at a cooler and stuff.
03:08Yeah.
03:09You got Zook's ice cream.
03:13I want to get a picture of the sign.
03:14They've got ice cubes in here.
03:16This is the sign Pierre was cruising behind
03:18taking pictures of.
03:19Oh my God.
03:20I love this.
03:21You can make it a burger
03:21or you can have some lobster
03:22unless you're like Pierre
03:24and you want a vegan burger.
03:26We've got the vegan burgers here.
03:26Do you have options?
03:27Yes.
03:28I couldn't even guesstimate the hours
03:30but it was three guys in a garage
03:32and a lot of tape.
03:35Beginning of January
03:36with about 20 guys.
03:39Dedication.
03:40Cases and cases of tape
03:41and alcohol.
03:42And beer.
03:43Yeah, beer.
03:44Lots of alcohol.
03:45Promises of Bloody Marys
03:47on Sunday.
03:47Yes.
03:49I'd say solid two months of work.
03:51Very impressive.
03:52We've got the old outhouse
03:53going down as a backup.
03:55Oh, so it's all together.
03:57Yes.
03:57That's all us.
03:59Maybe a total of 20 people
04:01but probably like five or six.
04:03Intermittent.
04:04There's a core of six
04:05and intermittently people
04:07helping out when they can.
04:08Like three.
04:11Actually.
04:12Well, it seemed like it
04:13and everybody else drank beer.
04:14Here you come.
04:1510, 15.
04:18This is our captain, Justin.
04:20He has one of our filters.
04:23Woody and Josh down there.
04:26They're our filters.
04:27Mike Riccadelli.
04:28Where you at, Mike?
04:29He's over there.
04:30He's another one of our filters.
04:31Privileged.
04:32The privileged section.
04:33The privileged section.
04:34Oh, this is awesome.
04:35You want him to go in it?
04:36He's going down.
04:38Where do you guys come up
04:39with your ideas?
04:40Like what inspired
04:41this year's design?
04:42Actually, this may be our last.
04:45Why is that?
04:47Our first year,
04:48we built a tiki hut
04:49and we got disqualified.
04:51Couldn't go down the hill.
04:52Because we strapped
04:53a TV on there.
04:55We had a running generator
04:57on there
04:57and they said
04:59we pushed the limits
05:00too far
05:01and we were disqualified.
05:03They gave us
05:03an honorable mention.
05:04The crowd loved us.
05:05So we wanted to bring back.
05:07We always keep the tiki name
05:08so everyone knows
05:09who we are
05:10and remembers us
05:12every year.
05:13And we wanted to do
05:14a tiki bar.
05:15We started with a tiki bar
05:17so we're going to end
05:17with one.
05:19Preston's going to get
05:20on one, he said.
05:21Oh, okay.
05:22Yeah.
05:22And then Steve doesn't race
05:24so Steve's going to
05:26hand his shield off.
05:27Preston's going to come
05:28and put his shield
05:29whichever one he wants
05:30and then maybe Nick
05:32will ride on the other one.
05:33We were saying
05:34to my brother,
05:35we said,
05:35he's going to say,
05:36I do go down the hill
05:37and then the whole thing
05:38is going to tip forward
05:39and he's going to go
05:39right through the back window.
05:40Are you guys excited
05:50to go sledding?
05:51Very.
05:52We're not excited
05:52for going up the hill
05:53but going down.
05:55Yeah.
05:56If we make it up the hill.
05:57I'm fine for a 50-50
05:59but I have complete confidence
06:00it'll go down the hill.
06:01It should have enough stability.
06:03If it can go for an hour
06:05and a half long
06:0670 mile an hour drive
06:07it will go down the hill.
06:08The most impressive run
06:09I thought was
06:10the Slinky Dog
06:11from Toy Story.
06:12I'm going to go
06:13with the Slinky Dog
06:13because that thing
06:14it was just amazing
06:16and when you saw it
06:17crest and come down
06:18the mountain
06:18when the ears went
06:19flying off
06:19it was awesome
06:20but then all the other
06:21details,
06:22all the members
06:22of the Toy Story movie
06:23and the little aliens
06:25in the back
06:25I mean,
06:26that was just my
06:27and it was fun.
06:28It was a fun sled.
06:30I was lucky enough
06:31to go down
06:31on two of the best sleds
06:33Valcourt
06:34and Toy Story
06:35Slinky.
06:37I wasn't sure
06:38either one
06:39would probably go
06:39to make it
06:39and I think
06:40they were the most
06:40successful.
06:41My favorite
06:42choice for the day
06:43was those two.
06:44It was really hard
06:45to top for me
06:46the Neverending Story
06:46but then the Toy Story
06:47one came down
06:48so story and story
06:49but the Slinky Dog
06:51I just was so impressed
06:52by how long
06:53that thing was
06:54and the number
06:55of characters
06:55from Toy Story
06:56that were on there.
06:56Slinky Dog
06:57had the most
06:57incredible
06:58followed by
06:59Neverending Story.
07:01That one was awesome too
07:02and the Wiener Mobile
07:03I thought was the
07:04coolest looking one
07:04so
07:05it's tough to choose.
07:06I think we're not
07:07on a sled this year
07:08and I got video of it
07:09that was so awesome.
07:11Kathy's a brave soul
07:12and she did it
07:12finally.
07:13So this was the first year
07:15that I actually went down
07:16on a sled
07:17it was a Captain Morgan ship
07:18and it looked like
07:20it was the sturdiest one here
07:21so that's why I chose it
07:23and we got down successfully
07:24and I didn't get hurt
07:25so I'm happy about that.
07:27That concludes officially
07:28the Cardboard Classic
07:30for 2019
07:31and I was telling Preston
07:34I went like this
07:48and I can't believe
07:50I had the presence of mind
07:51to pick my head up
07:53so that when I hit my back
07:54I didn't slam my head back
07:55which is crazy
07:56because
07:57I saw it coming.
08:00Alright here we go.
