Chud Johnson Conducts Rain-Soaked Interview, Refuses to Acknowledge Weather

In what meteorologists are calling "aggressive denial of atmospheric conditions," CJN founder Chud Johnson completed a full seven-minute interview with a local firefighter while standing in what can only be described as a torrential downpour.

"As you can see, conditions here are—" Chud began, water streaming down his face, "—ideal for discussing the department's new training program."

The firefighter being interviewed, Captain Martinez, repeatedly offered to move the interview under nearby shelter, but Chud insisted they remain in their current position because "the lighting is better."

"At one point, I'm pretty sure he was underwater," Martinez recalled. "Like, a wave came through and his head was briefly submerged. He just kept asking questions. Didn't even acknowledge it."

Viewers later noted that the interview's audio became increasingly garbled as Chud's microphone apparently filled with water. The final two minutes are reportedly just bubbling sounds and Martinez saying "Sir? Sir, are you okay?"

"Some of my best work," Chud later stated, wringing out his press credentials.
