I got a call at the beginning of July from the producer for Dr. Sanjay Gupta at CNN telling me that he recently visited www.team464.com and wanted to interview me for a feature piece on the network. Being the cautious ***** that I am I told him to f-off thinking he was my buddy Hunter playing a joke on me. Well, it wasn't Hunter. It really was the producer at CNN and after I apologized he setup a day and time in New Orleans the following week to come down with the film crew to do the interview. We did the interview on some random street in New Orleans and they filmed me walking around and sh*t. It was cool and for a few fleeting moments I felt like a rock star as random people on the street were walking up to my parents and the small crowd asking who I was and what movie I was filming. Little did they know it was only some former super-duper-morbidly-obese-fat-boy talking about losing weight. Well, I still felt like a rock star :)Well, all that was a couple months ago and I finally got an email from the producer on Tuesday. The piece will be airing on a loop on the CNN networks (CNN and Headline News) this weekend starting on Friday morning. The only SET times he gave me were during Dr. Gupta's Housecall program which runs at 7:30AM tomorrow and on Sunday. So if you happen to get CNN, check it out.

The web link is active and the piece is up at: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/health/2008/08/08/fn.gupta. chad.soileau.cnn
