Smantha: Duh! Everybody knows about the Strollerodeo. Dan: Oh, in this part of the country, it's
very well known. Matt: My wife told me to come.
Burt: It's on the Miracle Mile. Barry: For your infant toddler pre-k getaway,
it's Barry's Strollerdome. Thousands of strollers, one big dome! It's a Pramarama! You gave birth,
are not for adult transportation. Consult your manual for weight limits. This weekend
only, the fourth annual Strollerodeo. Finalists compete to win a Micralite FastFold Superlite.
Register at Barry's Strollerdome today. Smantha: I'm Smantha Stenchcomb.
Dan: My name is Dan Daniels. Burt: Burt Bolls.
Matt: My name is Matt DelToro. Smantha: I got that alert on my iPhone and
I was at Barry's in less than seven minutes. First to register for the Strollerodeo.
Burt: Barry? Is that his name? Barry? Heard his radio commercial. And I'm down yonder
at the Miracle Mile often, frequently. My band plays down yonder at the Bender's on
Thursday night. You ought to come. Smantha: For me, it's mom blogs, deal sites,
RSS news readers. I'm a scoopaholic. One of my Twitter followers asked me the other day
if I was worried about becoming a tiger mom. And I tweeted back, yes, because I want to
be a saber tooth tiger mom. I hashtagged that. It got retweeted over 400 times.
Dan: Oh, I've spent lots of time in Barry's shop. You know, I've got 14 children. And
they've all had strollers of one kind or another. I'm one of his very best customers. Matter
of fact, I think I put his oldest son through trade school. His younger one's in rehab,
but I didn't want to pay for that. Burt: My momma always said, if you ain't gonna
win, don't play. So a lot of times, I didn't play.
Matt: I am a stay at home dad, by choice. It was a decision that my wife and I made,
together. Her career was really taking off. And I like being at home. And I'm really good
at it. Except with strollers. I tend to be a little *** strollers. Which is why I'm
really into the Strollerodeo. My wife says we can't buy anymore. I'm just too unlucky
with strollers. I say, hey honey, look at it this way. I'm really lucky with kids.
Burt: It's fate. Why else would a man that got no kids get picked for a contest to win
a stroller? I use fate all the time now. Situationally of course.
Dan: I'm not too crazy about these contests and whatnot. But when you've got 14 children,
you've got to find some efficiencies. For example, we trained our oldest child as a
midwife and she delivered the youngest six. Plus now she's got a trade.
Matt: The first challenge is the obstacle course. I really feed good about this one
because I'm younger and let's face it, I'm not pregnant.
Dan: Matt seems very determined and he wants that stroller. He'd be happy with a Micralite.
It's a very nice product. I would too. Smantha: Looking at the competition realistically,
the only one I'm really worried about is Burt. Burt: And I'm here to win that Micralite stroller.
I seen it. It's nice. I can do all kinds of things with it. So people gonna take notice.
They gonna take notice. They gonna say, look at that right there. That man is a winner.
Smantha: The other two seem like *%&$(% to me. Sorry, they do.
Burt: Dan, Dan the baby man. You could kick him in the **%&&, he'd still just be smiling.
Dan: My family is a huge motivation for me. Especially my wife. Have you met my wife?
Barry's Employee: On your mark, get set, go.
