- I'll tell you what.
The things that you can get in 2020 for your house.
I just hope that no kids get hurt.
Something happened today that is so exciting
that you're getting one more outdoor update:
we got a giant slide.
So this is our slide that we got
that Leslie did not want a slide at all, right?
- I like the fun factor.
I just didn't like aesthetically what it did,
and I was worried the kids
weren't gonna use it as much.
- [Dan] So now that you're seeing it from way back there,
does it work, does it aesthetically...
- It totally works.
I mean, it would look prettier if we didn't have it
but having fun for the kids is more important.
- Yeah, about the kids.
Forget the kids.
Having fun for me.
The kids are gonna be grown and gone someday,
and I'm gonna be here
sliding down the slide every morning.
I know we've talked about in a few different videos
about how we wanted it to be
on the other side with the stairs
and we wanted it to be on the other side of the studio
so that you don't see it from the main windows
from in front of the pool.
Well we've done it.
We've put it around here
and now I'm gonna take you up to the top of it.
So here we go, first time going up the slide.
These guys are working
on putting the stabilization pillars on it.
This is the first time I've ever seen
an angle grinder used for it's actual purpose.
I only used it to cut things in half.
That's the only thing I've ever
bought an angle grinder for.
So this is Johnny.
He does the metal works.
You are an American Ninja Warrior, right?
- I am.
- [Dan] You were on the show, weren't you?
- I was, yep.
- [Dan] How'd you do on it?
- I don't wanna talk about it.
Ya know, I went out on a balance obstacle
but since then, I'd only be training for about six months,
and since I've been training for about three years.
- [Dan] Whoa.
- And I am substantially better than what I was.
- [Dan] Will they let you back on after you...
- So I put in every year since.
I haven't been back on the show,
but I've been one of their main testers.
And I've tested courses all over the United States
and always have tested the finals course
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Every single year they've had me
as a main tester down there.
- All right, American Ninja Warrior,
if you're watching this,
give Johnny a second chance.
- [Johnny] Yeah!
- He's ready to go for this.
He wants to get out there and run around
and jump off some stuff.
But until then, these are the stairs.
- Whoa!
It's wider than I thought, which is great.
- [Dan] It's wider, it has rails.
It's a bit narrow,
it's a little steep, I mean.
- It is a bit steep but it's okay.
- [Dan] But as long as you're holding
on to the rails, it's okay.
- It's much taller than I anticipated.
You probably can't feel,
see it with the camera,
but that's pretty tall.
- [Dan] It is pretty tall.
I mean look, here's the roof right here.
And then you start, and you come down
and around and drop down into the pool
- It's so fun!
I love that it's hidden.
I love that it's hidden
but it's still super functional.
- [Dan] It is so tall.
Look how high we are.
- I feel like you gonna kinda drop
when you drop into.
I feel like it's not just going into the water.
It's like a big drop, right?
- [Dan] It's a pretty good drop.
- Cool.
The kids are gonna have so much fun.
- The kids?
Why do you keep saying the kids?
- 'Cause I'm happy I'm building this house
- [Dan] I'm gonna have fun
- Are you happy for me? - [Leslie] Yes.
- I think if it was just a straight shot,
you'd be able to see the ending better
and it maybe wouldn't be as scary
when you're up here.
But because it has one and then two bends on it
and then drops you into the pool,
there's a little bit of uncertainty
and you're going so fast.
But the reason whey we chose this slide
is because it's super deep.
When I say deep, look at the sides,
how tall they are.
Most of the slides that you look at
that you wanna buy for pools
are really, really short on the sides.
And so what people do in the area that we live in
is they go and they make these fake rock mountains
in their backyard
and they have this fake rock slide,
which I'm sure it's really fun.
I've gone on it before and it is fun,
but for our house, it doesn't really fit in.
We don't have red rock in our yard anywhere.
Our house is white, the wall is white.
And we kind of live in a field.
We live in a farming field in a way.
We don't live up by the beautiful red rocks,
so it would just feel very unnatural.
Right here is some water
that will come out of it,
and so water will be spraying down
just like a regular, I don't know,
place that you go.
- Swimming pool.
- [Dan] Yeah.
- And it's 25 feet, so that's like a good amount.
- [Dan] Oh, it's 25 feet long?
- Yes.
- [Dan] Okay, I didn't know that.
How tall is it?
- I think it's 11, 10 feet?
- [Johnny] This is eight feet tall.
- Oh, it's only eight feet? It feel so much
- [Dan] Only eight feet?
- I guess maybe, but we're taller
so it feels taller.
- [Johnny] It's exactly eight feet
to the top of that platform.
- [Leslie] Okay.
- [Dan] Wow.
Okay, eight feet tall.
And if you're going down backwards,
this is a little steep coming down.
Going up it's fine.
I just hope that no kids get hurt on this slide.
- No, no, we can't.
- [Dan] See this little section right here?
You think that's okay
or is some little kid gonna slip through that?
- We'll just make sure if they're little kids,
that we'll come up with them. - [Dan] All the time?
At first, and just show them in the beginning.
- [Dan] Okay.
- [Johnny] If you want, we can probably
mount up a handrail that went from there
and attached to the slide.
- [Dan] Yeah.
- Just like a handrail would start
at the top there and just go straight down there.
- [Dan] That might be good.
- Just something else for your hand to grab onto.
- [Dan] These are all the other slides right here
that are gonna be for our neighbors.
These slides came, whoa it's so steep going down,
it's so steep.
So this slide came all the way from Tennessee.
That's where the company that makes these slides
is based out of,
and they brought 'em on a truck
all the way out here.
At the same time,
they brought the slide over there
for one of our neighbors
that our builder is building their house also.
This truck had another slide on it,
and they were going to California.
Do you know whose they were putting in?
Take a guess.
They're taking a slide and putting it
in a really fancy celebrity's house.
- Like give me a hint, you just can't say...
- [Dan] Whenever we travel, it's the only
show that you watch in the hotels.
- Oh, stop it!
It's not the only show I watch.
- [Dan] See, you know it!
You already know!
What is it?
- It's The Kardashians.
- [Dan] Kim Kardashian is getting a slide.
I don't know if it's bigger that this
or if it's the same or what,
but she's getting a slide that's going to her house.
- [Leslie] That's so funny.
- I only watch it when we're on vacation
'cause I never watch it in general.
- [Dan] No, when you're on vacation,
you wanna keep up with the Kardashians.
- I do wanna keep up.
Limited, limited.
- So, yeah, we got the same slide
as the Kardashians.
Are you ready for water?
- It's done.
The pillars are in, it's finished up,
it's ready to go.
- [Dan] So you welded all of these on.
It just has these three pillars.
Is that gonna be enough if big ol' heavy me...
- Go ahead and try to move it!
- [Dan] So if I come down,
- [Johnny] None of those pillars are moving!
- [Dan] So this right here will be good?
- [Johnny] It's not going anywhere.
I think maybe you should give it
a test run right now.
Why don't you get in there, slide down it,
and let's see what happens.
(voices overlapping)
- [Leslie] You're not gonna fall.
- [Dan] You're gonna film me coming down the slide.
- This is gonna be awesome!
He's gonna go all the way down this slide.
Let's see if he can make it all the way down.
Without water it might be a little bit
tougher to do
- [Dan] But I at least get to walk on it.
- [Johnny] Yeah, you can walk on it,
just don't slip and fall
'cause that might not be good.
- [Dan] I'm walking on the slide.
- [Johnny] Look at that!
- [Dan] There ya go!
- [Johnny] There ya go!
It's supporting your weight!
That's a good thing!
- Why am I the one testing it, by the way?
That was kinda...
- [Johnny] Well you're the homeowner,
so you're the one who's gonna
be sliding down it anyway, right?
- Jump!
I'm not gonna jump.
That is cool.
Okay, I did it.
I'm the first one to go down it.
All right.
Go back up!
Pretty cool how they build these pillars.
They fabricated them in the last two days
just for this.
There's the two screws right there,
and then it has this beam on here.
I think it looks pretty safe.
Oh, and here's the other thing.
I was worried once we put it in
that it was just going to entirely
cut off the studio walking over to the hot tub,
but look at this.
It's eight feet tall.
I'm walking it through it right now.
There's plenty of room and then, yeah,
it does block some of the area
but not bad.
For inside of our studio,
like this is where we're gonna be editing
and working and everything,
you do look out
and it does block your view a little bit
but it's not bad.
You get to see a slide.
It's kinda fun to be in the studio
and just look out and see a slide.
And then the drop off, if you look right here,
that's a few feet of water
is gonna be a bit lower than there.
- That drops gonna be a good two and a half feet, I think.
- [Dan] That's should feel good when you're going fast.
- Oh, it's gonna be awesome!
If you get going, flying down that head first,
you can just do a little nose dive in
and be way...
- I didn't even think about going head first.
- [Johnny] You gotta go head first!
- [Dan] Leslie, will you go head first
when you go down with your clothes on?
- No.
- [Johnny] You have to go head first!
It's a rule!
- No way
- [Johnny] The only fun way to go is head first!
- [Dan] I'll let you go on your butt
but you're still doing it.
You're going in.
Are you excited?
- No.
- She's gonna love it.
Okay, let's go look at it from down below.
I'm looking, getting the pool from all angles.
Okay.
Look at that.
It is so high, I can't even reach it.
And this if from the very bottom of the pool.
I can't even reach the top of the pool.
This pool's deep.
Are you happy with the slide?
- So happy.
It looks way better than I thought it was gonna look,
in theory, like on paper, I was like
"It'll be fun, probably won't be as cute looking".
But it's awesome.
It's almost like we planned it from the beginning
to have it on that side.
I think it worked out really really well.
I can't contain myself.
I saw a slide going in
and there's so many things I keep saying
"This is my favorite feature of the house"
and then something else happens and I'm like
"This is my favorite feature of the house".
Well, as of right now,
the slide is my favorite feature of the house.
(chimes)
(intense music)
- Forget the kids.
