Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So now I've got a double update on
(00:02):
the cornhole killer. That's the guy with no arms, no
legs who allegedly shot a long term friend while driving
his car. There's some more interesting developments in this story.
Let's see the quadruple amputee pro cornhole champion charged with
(00:28):
fatally shooting his pal. I don't know if i'd call
him a pal anymore since he allegedly shot him and
killed him, but whatever. According to witnesses, they were in
a heated argument about high school bs. They called it
Dayton James Weber. He is I believe the cornhole killer
(00:52):
was driving through Marylyn with three friends last week when
he allegedly freaked out during a spat with his law
time fred friend Braderick Michael Wells and shot him. So apparently,
according to the other guys in the car, he shot
(01:13):
Wells and then dumped his body on the side of
the road. Well, we know that, Chris. What is the
what's the update? Well, apparently mister well No, not mister Wells. Yeah,
mister Weber. The alleged cornhole killer was claiming that people
(01:34):
were stealing things from his house, and apparently he blamed Wells.
So The witnesses are basically saying, I don't know if
that guy stole anything, but people are going in and
out of that guy's house all the time. See, they
(01:55):
were driving, And this is where the story gets even
more grand. They decided to make the forty five minute
drive to Weber, the alleged cornhole killer's home, his seven
hundred thousand dollars home. This, I'm telling you, if he
(02:18):
was not the suspect and a murder, this is a
great story about overcoming adversity. Dude has a seven hundred
thousand dollars home. How much money is in corn hole?
I never I'd had no idea that there was something.
There's apparently there's big corn hole out there, and that's
(02:42):
a big business. And the alleged corn hole killer, mister Weber,
who by the way, has a very nice head of hair,
he made enough money apparently playing cornhole that he owns
a seven hundred thousand dollars high and drives a tesla.
(03:04):
How about that? So the cornhole killer that we've dubbed
him owns a seven hundred thousand dollars home and a
tesla and apparently has people walking in and out all
day and all night. That must be some kind of
party house. I had no idea that corn hole, that
a guy could make that much money playing cornhole. I'm
(03:27):
gonna have sharpen up my cornhole game. You know, downstairs
where our fabulous sales department is, they got cornhole boards
set up already.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They got corn hole down there. You got corn hole
down I have not seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They got corn hole down there, and right next to cornhole,
huge glass bucket of candy. Ah, that's right, all your
favorite chocolates.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I need to get to be close to friends with
the salespeople downstairs.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They are wonderful people down there, very hard working. That's
why when you go down there, rarely do you see people,
because they're out there working hard. And they got the
corn hole set up. I noticed that yesterday, Like wow,
they got corn holes set up. Well, now that I
find out a pro corn hole player is making or
living in a seven hundred thousand dollars house, that's nothing
(04:14):
to sneeze at, no matter where it is. You know what,
let's look it up, Peyton. What is what's the average
income of your average professional corn hole player? Is there
nil money involved in cornhole? Can I register at the
University of Nebraska and get some nil money for playing cornhole.
(04:41):
All right, Peyton's looking up this number. I probably should
have done this doing show prep today. But you know,
look at that. You should see how intense he is staring.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's tough because it's winnings based. You know, you go
into tournaments and if you win the tournament, you get
paid more. But an and you said, are a ledged
cornhole killer? Was a champion? Right, Yeah, so he's definitely
at the top end of it. I see here. They
can make up to about seventy five thousand a year,
maybe one hundred thousand if you're in the top ten percent.
(05:14):
But if you're a champion, you get a couple of
brand deals.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Maybe maybe you could be he's got sponsors. Yeah, I
wonder what sponsors he would have.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, nope, nope, nope, no, even nope.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Not even so many bad jokes going into my head
right now.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Do you think he's sponsored by arm and Hammer?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Not that the not I gotta say it now. The
Good Feet store be great. I hear Nike wanted to
add he wanted to give him a sponsorship, and they're like, uh,
(05:56):
I don't know if we got anything for this guy.
How about a hat? He wear a Nike hat. Everybody,
I'll love him. Cornhole killer telling you this guy's convicted.
That's what they're gonna call.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh, here you go. Tournament payouts, top performers can earn
significantly more the twenty twenty five American Cornhole World Championships
with seven hundred thousand dollars for the winning purse. What
and that was the price of his home?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Where did they have that? Where are the National Cornhole Championships?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm not sure did you ever watch them on cable?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Though?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
The Johnsonville Cornhole Championships. I know there's people listen Memorial
Day weekend. I'm telling you, they got Cornhill cornhole all
over the TV.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Really, you know, I once saw that they had professional
putt putt and guys would compete for putt putt and
they even had an announcer that did the whole golf
announcer thing. He is sizing up his putt right now.
Looks like he's going to try to time the windmill
(07:08):
perfectly to get the ball to go through the windmill
over the lake. And yeah, I remember as a kid
watching pro put putt and thinking to myself, hell if
those guys are making money playing putt putt. Maybe I'll
do that. I had no idea. There was a professional
(07:30):
cornhole tournament where the winner gets seven hundred thousand dollars.
How do I get in on that? How do I
enter the professional cornhole tournament?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
This was hosted in rock Hill, South Carolina in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Huh Rockhill. I wonder what cities are bidding for the
cornhole Championships now? We ought to get that here in Omaha.
We need to have the Cornhole Championships here in Omaha,
because I mean, come on, corn huskers, corn hole Cornacopeia.
(08:05):
I don't know. I ran out of I ran out
of corn stuff after two. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean if we can land Gravedigger and monster trucks,
I mean, shoot, we could land the cornhole killer in
the National Cornhole Championships.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We got the swimming championships here.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh yeah, if if we can sell out a volleyball game,
we can sell out a.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Corn and we got the horse thing. I can't remember
what they call it, but they got the big horse
deal that goes on every year jumping horses. Yeah, all that,
you know, So if we can get that, why don't
we get the cornhole Championships. Let's get on that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Ooh, and we could call it. One of us be
color the other play by play. Hey, that would be
pretty You think.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
The retired cornhole players go into broadcasting as the color
commentary guy.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You got the Tom Brady of cornhole, you know, back
in my these guys got it real easy.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Really imagine that. You come into the room, they go,
I don't know if you know, but that's the Tom Brady.
A corn hole.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There he is.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They get the officials out. The official is measuring the hole.
It looks like it's two centimeters too big. Cheating, they're cheating.
I'm sorry. The cornhole champion has been disqualified. What happened? Doping?
He was taking performance enhancing drugs. What would that be?
(09:35):
Drop a hit of acid before you play cornhole and
the tracers guide your bean bag? Ah? Is there a
women's league? Oh, there's any corn holing that would be
good too. Oh man, I'm telling you, you know what,
(09:56):
This guy's the best thing that happened to cornhole. And
since it was in there has never been a celebrity
cornhole player. I think all the other cornhole players are
now going look at that guy. He killed the guy,
and he's getting more pressed than we do. He's even
got a nickname. What's that cornhole Killer? Oh, that's bizarre.
(10:17):
Corn I had no idea. Yes, they seven hundred thousand
dollars tournament. I want in on that, yep.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And they have women's too, the Throwdown Cornhole Festival in California.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You know, I'm sorry. I'm not going to California for
anything that's called cornhole festival. All Right, that's just I'm
not that ain't happening. It's gonna be the dumbest conversation
so far today. All Right, it's the Chris Fakers Show. Oh,
(10:54):
by the way, we're the official radio show of professional cornhole.

guessing we've talked more about cornhole on this show today
than any other station in the universe.
