Apparently he was in a balloon last week, but he really wasnt in it, but the whole country thought he was, but he was in his attic, apparently his dad made him do it, not get in the balloon but fake the whole thing so he could get on a tv show, not the kid, but the dad, not really the dad, actually the whole family!
crazy!
