It was bugging me because I could have sworn I recognized the parents from somewhere, but yea it was Wife Swap. They were a wanna-be tornado chaser family. Once a douche-bag, always a douchebag I guess.
For anyone that wants to watch the horror show that is wife swap. Part 1 (the rest are linked in the description):

Dad: "Why didn't you come out?"
Falcon: "You guys said...that um...we did this for a show."
Dad: "Man." (Oh shit)
Mom: "No." (Oh shit)
The interviewer totally missed the opportunity to jump all over that.

Sheriff's Dept. Investigating Balloon Family
Posted Oct 15th 2009 11:24PM by TMZ Staff
 TMZ just spoke with the Larimer County Sheriff's Dept. who told us they are aware of Falcon Heene's comments on " Larry King Live" tonight -- and are "investigating the situation."
Cops also tells us they've been inundated with calls from tipsters who wanted to give cops a heads up that the 6-year-old, who was thought to have been trapped in a runaway home made balloon earlier today, explained to Larry King Live, "We did this for the show."

they were on the Today Show this morning,and the kid threw up on camera.Video at link.
Richard Heene faced his own wild ride on Friday, battling rumors that Thursday's frantic rescue effort to save his 6-year-old-son Falcon – who was believed to be aboard a homemade helium-filled balloon that floated high over Colorado for more than two hours with National Guard and sheriff's helicopters in its pursuit – was the result of a publicity stunt.
Appearing on Friday's Today show, Heene said such accusations were making him angry. As he spoke to the NBC morning program's Meredith Vieira, Falcon, who had safely hidden in the rafters of the family garage while the balloon adventure played out on national TV, got sick to his stomach on camera.
Reality TV fans may remember Richard and wife Mayumi from the ABC show Wife Swap. Their episode aired on the show's October 2008 premiere.

I saw that, and they obviously knew the child was ill because Mom had a bucket and paper towel at the ready. Fucking idiots.
I don't know if this has been posted already, but they have a YouTube channel.

I can't believe these people are making the talk show rounds this morning. If my child was missing and presumed killed in a horrific manner and then found alive and well I would probably still be sitting in my bed holding said child and crying. Not going on the fucking Today show.

So busted. "We did this for a show". On the Today show the dad says "He's six." Then goes on with a lot of BS as to why the kid said that. None of it made any sense.
The dad looked hung over.

And in a surprising twist, the attention whore of the year award does NOT go to one of many posters on the GR message boards, but to the Heene family from Colorado.

Yep, and I'm one of the lucky Coloradoans that get to pay for this little stunt. Better not see those bitch ass parents on the street or I'ma get my money's worth outta their asses.

I'd be interested to hear how much the rescue effort actually cost. What a waste of money.

That Youtube channel.... wow. They made a video with those boys called Not Pussified. It's painful. And they cuss in it. So edgy.
Falcon introduces himself in the video by saying "My name is Falcon. I'll kick you in the nuts"
