Good morning, everyone!
It is 7 o'clock here in Canyonland, U.S.A.
And this morning on the boulder we have a very special guest...
self-proclaimed American superhero Aron Ralston!
Let's hear it for Aron!
Hey. Hi. Oh, gosh. It's... It's a real pleasure to be here. Thank you. Thank you.
Hey, can I say hi to my mom and dad?
Mom and Dad!
Mustn't forget Mom and Dad. Right, Aron?
Yeah. That's right.
Uh... Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I...
I didn't answer the phone the other night.
If I had, I would have told you where I was going, and then...
Well, I probably wouldn't be here right now.
That's for sure!
But like I always say...
your supreme selfishness... is our gain.
Thank you, Aron. Anyone else you'd like to say hi to?
Um... Well, Brion at work.
- Hi, Aron! - Hey.
I probably won't be making it into work today.
Get a load of this guy! Oh, wait. Hold on.
We've got a question coming in from another Aron in Loser Canyon, Utah.
Aron asks...
Am I right in thinking that even if Brion from work...
notifies the police they'll put a 24-hour hold on it...
before they file a Missing Persons report?
Which means you won't become officially missing...
until midday Wednesday, at the earliest!
Ah, yeah. You're right on the money there, Aron.
Which means I'll probably be dead by then.
Aron from Loser Canyon, Utah. How do you know so much?
Well, I'll tell you how I know so much.
I volunteer for the rescue service.
