10:15 pm
solid wood. and we're a brand that's been around since the '30s, well respected in the industry. we have 22 different styles. they're all good. kincaid furniture is made the way furniture used to be made back in the '30s, '40s, '50s. it's made as best as we can possibly make it. if we can improve on anything, we do it, and that's the way that furniture was done for generations. and then manufacturers started making inexpensive furniture for the masses. well, now we're making really good quality for not much more money than the inexpensive stuff that probably won't last very long. [ chuckles ] the difference between this piece and this piece is night and day. this chair-side table is a competitor's product. and we've cut this apart so that you can look inside of it. if you look here, this is all
10:16 pm
pressed wood or particleboard, with a paper veneer on the outside of it. and it's just basically done the cheapest way you could possibly build a cabinet. it's made well enough that, you know, you can use this for a year or two, but if it gets wet, something gets spilled on it, it's gonna swell. it'll fall apart. it's made pretty much just good enough to be able to get delivered into the customer's home. kincaid furniture is all solid wood. this top is solid oak. you can see all the graining and the knots in the top. you flip the top open, and you can see the knot underneath. you can see that it's solid wood all the way through. the english dovetail drawers that are full width, full-extension glides, soft-close guides. every piece that we produce has a leveler in it so that if the floor is un-level, they can level the piece to the floor. we put hand-holds on the back of dressers and nightstands so they're easy to move. nightstands have electric plug outlets on the back.
10:17 pm
a lot of them have lights underneath with a little switch on the back of the nightstand, so you have a night light underneath the light stand. >> okay, this is one of our kincaid collection tables. this is solid wood. it's actually made out of new zealand pine. we've had case goods for years because we've sold cocktail tables and end tables, but now we're starting to get some of the dining and the bedroom in the store so that we can really show people our full capability. we can put together a whole house. now that we have the case goods, we can do living rooms, we can do family rooms, we can do dining rooms, and we can do bedrooms. kincaid products are solid wood. so when people are buying them, they know that they're buying quality. they're buying bedroom. they're buying dining room. they could even buy cocktail tables or end tables. they're just beautifully made. it's basically heirloom furniture. it means you can pass it down to your kids and they can pass it down to their kids. that's how long it's gonna last. and so when people are buying
10:18 pm
that, they're really confident that they have something that's gonna look really good in their home. we just got a new kincaid dining room table in, and i had a customer who came in and purchased two weeks ago. she purchased a sofa and a love seat. she came back this last weekend. she saw the dining room table. she said, "this is exactly what i'm hunting for, for my house." she wants the dining room table with eight chairs. she likes the console. she likes the china cabinet. we had all that to show, and so now, rather than just saying, "let me show you a picture," we actually have the case goods on the floor, and we're able to sell. people don't like to have to go to multiple stores to buy. it's hard enough for them to go out furniture shopping, and they love being able to have one place where they can come, where we can put everything together for them. they know who they're working with. they're working with one person. and it just makes it a lot more enjoyable experience for them. >> we show a lot of products here with la-z-boy stores. and the la-z-boy customer trusts la-z-boy.

high and too dangerous to disrespect the height. and i think that fear is a really good thing. >> this is the red bull cliff diving world series. seven venues, 16 athletes, all risking life and limb for that perfect 10. she is hoping to become the first woman to win the series three years in a row. a feat she knows won't be easy. >> you want to walk away with that amazing feeling of standing on top of the podium. >> this competition in the heart of the atlantic, the azors. a chain of volcanic islands a thousands miles west of mainland portugal, where lush green hills give way to jagged cliffs. >> we just got to the island. we are driving to the marina where we'll catch a boat out to the smaller island. the weather is not great. it's windy. it's rainy. unclear if the divers will be able to go off today. but we will be there if they do.
10:45 pm
>> that first glimpse showing us just how high these cliffs really are. riannan and her competition will dive from rocks up to 90 feet in the air. hit the water at a whopping 53 miles per hour. >> it's been a whirlwind of two years for me. walked in as a world card my first season and walked out as a world champion. >> known to her friends as ri and to all the one to beat, the australian native has been diving since she was 9. >> i was a trampolinist and we use a lot of similar skills. it took a while to get used to the height and get used to the fear that you're flooded with when you stand at the end of the platform. >> what do you feel in the way of fear and doubt before, during and after the dive? >> definitely for me the worst part is the lead up to the dive. it's the hour before the dive. you're thinking about it
10:46 pm
constantly. y, oka i got to dive from 20nd meters today. >> american david knows that fear as well. it's been an emotional journey for me coming back from an injury that almost killed his career. after last year's sixth place finish, the azors's is david's proving ground. >> this is one of the toughest spots. obviously it's an incredible location, but environmentally it's probably one of the toughest we have. >> unpredictable elements and crashing waves make this stop tricky and potentially dangerous. >> environmentally you have to deal with waves and wind and rain and cold and hot. i mean, the island kind of can get all four seasons in one day. and so it's a challenge for sure. but it's also fun. >> maybe that's fun for david. but for people like me, it's petrifying. i'll admit it, i am terrified of heights. >> i don't get it. >> but with a little bit of coaxing i head up to get a diver's perspective. we are 27 meters, 90 feet in the air. my legs are jelly, but i have

10:48 pm
>> david is up on the platform getting ready for his final dive. he has to leave it all out there. oh. i mean, in my professional opinion that was fantastic, david. >> turns out, it was right, that dive, one of the most technically difficult in the sport, moving him up to second place. >> technical term is a reverse two summer salts with five twists. you come off summer salting and twisting at the same time. i do four and a half twists with one summer salt. i square up and look at the weather and bring your feet down and end up feet first into the water. >> ri, holding her lead, making it to the top of the winner's podium. >> are all of you adrenaline junkies? >> if you see me before the dive, i don't look like an adrenaline junky. >> what do you look like? >> sometimes i look like a baby,
10:49 pm
a mess. but, yeah, i think we are. to go through all of that, that stress, fear, all the emotions, and then to walk right back up and do it again, we must be. that's the best feeling. that's the best thing. that's what i love about this sport is that you're facing your fears everyday. and it feels absolutely awesome to overcome that fear, i guess. >> in that spirit, there's one last dive before we can leave the island. i'm taking a leap of faith of my own, safely and supervised from 30 feet up. nowhere near as impressive as the pros, but plenty high for me. next here, notes on life from the you can have whatever you like rapper, t.i.
