I could be heard saying "Get that fricking truck rolling." on CNN after Gustav when they were doing a remote about the response.

Other than that? Not much. Refused to get on camera for some cooking show that was trying to get picked up for Food Network.

Buckskin Bill Black showed my brother's drawing of a battleship on the show. My drawing was after my brothers, but Bill did not want to take the time to unfold it so he just showed a folded white piece of paper. It was a beautiful farm I spent all day coloring. So I missed my 15 minutes of fame.

I won believe it or not on Matt Thomas' show. The category/questions were about Martellus Bennett.

Probably not anything fame related. But some years ago a new area of the plant I work at had new construction. We were offloading a tank truck of material into the tank farm. A co-worker put on the fresh air mask to make the connections, and soon after passed out at me feet. Since he was in his 30's and a runner my first thought was something wrong with the air he's breathing, so I pulle the mask off his face, and he came to after about 45 seconds. What had happened was when the projects hands make the piping connections they installed the breathing air connections to the N2 line. So he was breathing N2. They made it out to be a big deal that I'd saved his life, but it was a little embarrassing for me, because I was thinking anyone would have done the same.

I was seen in the background of Sports Center couple weeks ago when they were filming in Scottsdale. That's all I got.

Yeah

They had a pretty large crowd when I dragged her from the water onto the sand...gave her CPR for about 15-20 seconds and she came to. People were high giving me. It was scary but turned out pretty cool

OMG I guess what they say about the camera adding 10 pounds really is true!
