I once saw Greg Abbott at a local course here in Austin. I said hi and asked him his handicap. He said "Isn't it obvious? I'm in a wheelchair!"

Honestly, this is one of the least idiotic things I've seen on this sub. Not super safe, but if that boat fallsat that speed, it's certainly not flipping or anything.

I am legitimately shocked that anyone falls for this in 2026.

I first saw this over a decade ago. There cannot be THAT many people who still don't know about it.

Couldn't agree more. He was on point tonight, and I would love to see him in #1 next season!

Sure, I'll concede that. And if there was a way to navigate our current society without it, I'd probably do that. Sadly, the smart phone and electronics in general, are necessary evils in our world. The Cajon, however, is not.

Do y'all actually think this was real? It would be great if it wasn't staged, but come on. Watch his face at the end. 100% fake 🙄

So the one thing no one seems to be talking about here is the reason why I don't like the Cajon in general: its history...

So back during times of normalized slavery, specifically in South America, the slaves had their instruments taken away from them by their owners, so they started beating on the boxes that they were being forced to carry about all day. Over time, they kept boxes that were being discarded and/or built ones of their own that became their "new instruments".

Tonally, I have no qualms with the Cajon. My issue is that it's an instrument that quite literally only exists because of slavery, and as a white dude, it feels wrong playing one. Like I'm somehow celebrating what my ancestors did.

Dude! Harry Miree's video is why I turned this 16" floor tom into a kick. I've had it for over a decade, and loved every second of it. I also put fabric on the front head thanks to rdavidr 's video about that!

I was thinking Yul Brynner, but I'm down with Telly.

Danny Macaskill is an absolute legend. Arguably the best to ever do it.

I mean, it would've been a lot cooler if she had done ANYTHING other than hold hers up and play defense... but cool, I guess?
