The Extreme Ironing Dream Team. . . and Oprah

So The Oprah Winfrey Show sent me an email telling me that they had found my Extreme Ironing Facebook group and that they had some questions for me about the sport.  So they asked me to call them back as soon as possible.  So i did.  The lady told me that they were considering doing a segment on Extreme Ironing in the show.  So she asked me some questions and then asked me to send her some of my extreme ironing videos.  She said that they were just in the research stages but that there was a chance they may use the footage if they did indeed end up doing a segment on extreme ironing.  So I put the below video together and sent it to her.  A few days later she thanked me for sending the video and told me it was great but that they had unfortunately changed show topics.  She was a very kind and courteous woman.  It made me want to be her friend.

Anyways, we didn’t get to be on Oprah, but we did have a blast making the video and telling everyone how The Oprah Winfrey Show wanted to see it.  And hey, the producers at The Oprah Winfrey Show now know my name, and they even gave me my own upload folder on their FTP site.  I’d say that’s quite an accomplishment. It’s not every day you get a call from Oprah.  So watch the video below as the Extreme Ironing Dream Team Eagle – (me), Cobra (Josh) and Tiger (Jon)- perform some courageous daring acts of extreme ironing.  It’ll rock your face off.  Enjoy.
