When I woke up yesterday it seemed like any other ordinary day. My eyes rather tired, perhaps a little puffy and the need for some coffee was strong. So I awkwardly made my way downstairs, ground up some Starbucks Coffee, filled up the water and pressed “Brew”. The sweet smell of coffee filled the air and the fog of just waking up subsided. So the day started like any other.
Until later.
That’s when I read the comment Keith made on our “The Story Behind Chuck Storm” blog post. He wrote maybe Chuck Storm will never end up on CNN again….Thing is, I never clued into it, never thought anything of it. But as I continued my day and read my favorite Calgary Flames Message Board (CalgaryPuck.com) and one poster mentioned they saw the video on CNN, it started to click. So I quickly got on the horn and called Dave, the conversation went down like this:
Dave: “Hey”
Ryan: “What’s going on?”
Dave: “Why are you calling me?”
Ryan: “What do you mean?”
Dave: “Is there a reason you’re calling me?”
Ryan: “Not really, why…WHY?”
Dave: “You haven’t heard?”
Ryan: “Well you called me earlier, what’s up?”
Dave: “Erik’s aunt said she was watching CNN and the video was shown”
Ryan: (After a pregnant pause) “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!”
So as I scrambled to find anywhere I could find it I had no luck, having not seen it. I went through the videos on CNN.com and found nothing. Finally, someone gave me the link and it was part of a story by Jeanne Moos (who I quite like) about, essentially, people getting hurt and it being caught on camera, all started with Beyonce falling at one of her concerts. Sure enough part of that story was the inclusion of our very own character “Chuck Storm”.
First of all, I like Jeanne Moos, her stories are always entertaining, second I’m a big CNN fan, third they showed the website and referenced the name FuddyTV.com! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I didn’t think anything like this would be happening, but lo and behold it is.
So needless to say, a big thank you to Jeannie Moos and CNN. A tip of the cap to you!
Here’s the video if you weren’t able to see it….(from CNN.com):
