Episode 87 - Where Are They Now? 7

Today's Where Are They Now? segment could just as well be entitled "WHO Are They Now?"

Tim also included a couple of really obscure guys on his list.  How obscure?  Mike had never heard of them.

The Batsu Game That Wasn't (For Good Reason)

For his most recent batsu game, Mike was given three options - and wound up drinking a chocolate jalapeno milkshake.

One of the three options was immediately voted down by Mike: to ride the infamous Verruckt waterslide at Schlitterbahn water park in KCK (near Sporting Park and the Kansas Speedway).  It's billed as the tallest waterslide in the world - and, by the way, has a few safety concerns.

Click on the link below to see a report and video on this waterslide - and you'll understand exactly why Mike doesn't want to ride it.
