Fun fact: One year while vacationing in Hawaii, Chuck decided to go for a peaceful, early morning hike. Who’d he find at the top of the volcano? None other than a friend from Birmingham. To be honest, we’re still not sure if it’s truly a small world or if Chuck just literally knows every single human on the planet.
