THAT’S CAUSING SOME REAL DIVISION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS. IT’S A ROD,
THE BUILDER CHALLENGE LIKE NO
OTHER OUR BUSINESS EDITOR ROD
MELONI IS BUILDING WITH DOMINOES
TODAY. I GOTTA GIVE HIM CREDIT,
HUH? COMPETITOR YOU HAVE THEM
FRESHMAN BRANDY DOLAN OF ANN
ARBOR. WHO REALLY IS, I SHOULD
SAY BRADY. HE’S A DOMINO EXPERT
FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. ROD IS
LIVE OVER IN STUDIO B E AND
LET’S TAKE A LOOK. THAT’S THIS
THIS? AH, OKAY. YOU KNOW HOW YOU
YOU GO ONLINE AND YOU SEE THE
THING WHERE THEY PUSH ONE DOMINO
, AND THEN THEY ALL GO DOWN, AND
IT HAS SPELLED OUT A MESSAGE.
I’VE GOT THE FALL DOWN PART. I
DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE. THIS
IS BRADY DOLAN, WHO IS A MASTER
DOMINO BUILDER TO GIVE YOU AN
IDEA HOW BAD IT IS. JUST TAKE A
LOOK OVER AT WHAT BRADY HAS DONE
SINCE FOUR O’CLOCK HE’S WE HAD.
I THINK HE GAVE US THREE. I HAD
THREE THAT WE HAD TO BUILD. HE
BUILT THE BUILT THREE PLUS ONE.
UM, IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, AND
NOW HE’S OVER HERE, HELPING ME
BECAUSE YOU’VE SEEN HIS
CHRISTMAS TREE, RIGHT? THIS IS
MINE. UM IT FELL DOWN FIVE TIMES
. BRADY. WHAT DID I DO WRONG? I
THINK IT JUST COMES DOWN TO THE
SPACING OF IT, BECAUSE LET’S SAY
YOU HAVE A DOMINANT LINE HERE,
RIGHT? RIGHT PLACE THIS ONE A
LITTLE BIT WRONG. IT’S GONNA
LEAN ON IT, BUT BECAUSE THEY’RE
CLOSE ENOUGH TOGETHER. IT’S NOT
GOING TO NOT RIGHT. BUT BUT IT
WASN’T THAT THAT I GOT 12 ROWS
AND THEN I TIP SOMETHING IN THE
WHOLE THING WENT HE JUST HAD TO
BE CAREFUL. JUST HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL TO TAKE IT SLOWLY. YEAH
THERE YOU GO. SO WE LEFT THAT
ONE. SO YOU CAN SEE IT. I
STARTED IN HERE AGAIN, AND NOW
BRADY HAS COME IN AND BROUGHT
HIS SPACER WITH HIM AND IS NOW
TRAINING NOW TELL ME ABOUT THAT
YOU’VE YOU’VE GOT TO GUINNESS
BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, RIGHT?
YOU GOT WHAT ARE THE TWO OF
THEM? OKAY SO THE FIRST OF ALL
RECORD IS A THING I PARTICIPATED
IN BACK IN 2016 IS LIKE 10 OF US
WHEN WE CREATED THE WORLD RECORD
FOR THE LARGEST DOMINO’S LARGEST
DOMINANT PROJECT ARRANGEMENTS
CIRCLE. SO WHAT HAPPENED? IS IT
TRIGGERED FROM THE INSIDE AND
THEY ALL JUST WENT OUTWARDS. AND
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO COME
DOWN LIKE A SOLID FIVE OR SIX
SECONDS AND HAVE LIKE $76,000
TOOK YOU HOW LONG TO BUILD THAT
, LIKE, AT LEAST A WEEK. GOSH, I
JUST THAT IT’S ASTONISHING THAT
YOU HAVE THAT MUCH PATIENCE TO
BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THE
SMART TOO. I MEAN, BRILLIANT
KIDS, AND THIS IS JUST AMAZING.
AND SO WHAT WAS THE SECOND ONE
THAT YOU DID? THE SECOND ONE WAS
THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE LARGEST
DOMINOES TOPPLED IN A WALL. SO I
WAS WITH A TEAM OVER I THINK
IT’S IN CANTON AND WE SPENT
THREE DAYS BUILDING THIS GIANT
WATER 50,000 DOMINOES WHERE YOU
USE THE JACK. YOU BOOSTED
YOURSELF, BUT THEN YOU THROW A
BALL RIGHT THROUGH BALL AT IT
AND IT AND IT ALL CAME TUMBLING
DOWN, AND THAT’S THAT’S THIS
DESIGN. HERE NOW I’LL SHOW YOU
THAT WE BUILT THIS TOGETHER
BECAUSE I HAD NO CLUE. THEY I
COULDN’T EVEN GET OFF THE
GROUND. SO BRADY WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO HELP ME WITH THIS, SO OKAY,
SO IF I’M GOING TO MOVE ON FROM
HERE, WHAT’S THE THOUGHT PROCESS
TO GET THIS THING TO GO WHERE WE
NEEDED TO GO? SO WE NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO VISIT DYING. UH
THERE’S A THERE’S A LOT OF MATH
INVOLVED, SO I’LL I’LL HELP HIM
TAKE A LITTLE BIT EASIER WITH
THAT. OKAY BUT WE JUST HAVE TO
BUILD OUTWARDS FROM THE FROM
FROM OKAY, EXACTLY. FROM THE
MIDDLE. EXACTLY OKAY. WELL, UM.
WE’VE GOT THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC
GOING. WE’RE WORKING REALLY HARD
. WE’RE GETTING THE CALCULATORS
OUT NOW BECAUSE WE’RE GOING TO
NEED THAT FOR THE MATH, BUT
WE’LL KEEP AT IT HERE. ALRIGHT
ROD. HOPEFULLY THAT CHRISTMAS
MUSIC CAN BRING YOU A LITTLE BIT
OF JOY. MAYBE THERE’S SOME MORE
ELVES. WE CAN RELEASE TO HELP
YOU OUT WITH THAT PROJECT
BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE HE NEEDS
COULD USE SOME THE START. I LIKE
THE BRADY IS HELPING HIM OUT.
AND THERE’S LIKE I SAID, THERE’S
ALWAYS HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
