Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hard.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
So, Steve, I was telling you about Eugene Strickland, who
weighed three hundred and thirty four pounds. He was at
Walt disney World. He was at Disney World. They have
he was on this ride at Blizzard Beach. It's called
the Downhill Double.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh, Blizzard Beach. That's all the water park, Yes, all
the water and stuff at.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, they have a three hundred pound limit. Now, Eugene
Strickland is his name. He got on the ride and
the ride allegedly sent him flying into the air. He
landed on hard plastic, which left him with permanent injuries.
But despite the ride, it does have a three hundred
pound individual weight limit. I worried at the time he

(00:40):
weighed three thirty four, but there was a first limit.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yes, that's what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We have to take him at his word.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
He's not well. Even that's were you thirty five pounds oval?
That ain't nothing to sneeze. Now, let me explain something, y'all.
Blizzard Works is water. Is a lot of water. Ride
the beach if you're three hundred and thirty four. Tommy
said you shouldn't even be at Disney at all.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
What period?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I all you out there doing is walking and waiting
on the kids to get off the rides. You ain't
supposed to be on nothing. Now, if you three hundred
and thirty four pounds and you on an inner tube,
what do you think is gonna happen? And Shirley, you
described it as you're supposed to double dip.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's called a downhill double dipper.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
What happened was it dipped one time. We never got
to the double and it's slung his big juice behind
in the air because that inner tube had never had
that much press down on it, so when it sprang
back up, it shot him out that inner tube like

(01:51):
a ejection seat on an airplane. Now, big boy, no,
he ain't even supposed to be nowhere with no t
shirt on and none of that. He already knows he's
three thirty four. Yeah, Now he's injuries that he got. Uh,
he's been walking like that. We can find video he
been walking like that. He heard his hip back when

(02:14):
he was two ninety. I must have footage of showing
him walking like that years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, I mean he has pain, he has scarring, and
he's also suing them for loss of ability to enjoy life.
Now you lost that.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
You lost dad at three hundred. You're not finna blame
that on Disney. You enjoying life. You cut that off
with Brown round one way back around to eighty. It's
when life started being real wheezy for yall. You know
much water they lost that day because of his look.

(02:57):
He wants to tell me they had to close that ride. Okay,
they had to close the whole park. And then see,
that's another thing you can tell you. That's all you
sew it for fifty thousand Jesus.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
All right, coming up, we gotta go, coming up at
thirty four minutes after you heard his tone, we'll play
around him once.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Can't even see his tone.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
One has to go right after this.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
All I can think it was rescution. Now, how you
do how you do it?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
