Famous Encounters

[Kdurham]

Went to school with 2 of the guys from Blink 182. Met Oprah, Trump, Tiki Barber, played ball with Rod Smart (He Hate Me if XFL), Freddie Mitchell (Eagles) and a few others. I've met with Magic Johnson a couple times for work. Knew Dennis Rodman before he was crazy :-)

I've ran into Oprah on a flight. Bad bad experience. Andy **** in Huntington beach. Kevin Costner and lewy Anderson in LA at the airport, they caused a huge scene. DL hugely and Cedric the entertainer on a flight back to Houston from tahoe. They were awesome super nice. Gave my family tickets to the kings of comedy tour in Houston. Tiny Tim in the Chicago o hare airport. Those are who I can think about now.

I've met a lot of famous people and she is the only person that has ever left me speechless. Ask Buckley99 that's rare! Lol

Larry Weishuhn while flying to Minnesota whitetail hunting. Great guy, friendly and shared a lot of hunting stories and information. Just a good old county boy for sure and George Strait at a private party after a Vegas show that an old college classmate filled in and played the drums for him in Vegas, Another good ole boy that made good.

I was having breakfast at ihop in Terrell a couple months ago and pudge Rodríguez came walking in. Shook my hand had a few word with each other and I left him alone. He ate his breakfast the next table over from me while his driver waited outside.

grew up with a bunch of pro surfers but not sure anyone on TBH knows who they are
Mark Hunt a couple times, we have some mutual friends. Nice but pretty quiet guy
Met Dwayne Johnson one morning, super nice guy. I was having breakfast w/my 7yo nephew and he kept starting and The Rock invited us over to eat at his table. The guy can put down some eggs!
Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction) awesome guy
Pat Green was a pretty big d bag when I met him but he was also blackout drunk
Jack Johnson used to come to my buddies house a lot. Her dad was an exec at Kodak so they had an amazing house in Malibu that all kinds of celebs would come through. Most were polite enough but didn't make much conversation
Jeremy Piven (sp) is a complete tool
Dustin Brown Drew Doughty from the LA Kings used to come drink with us a lot at my buddy's bar in LA. Met a couple of the guys that play for the Kings and all were fun.
Lyle Lovett was a good guy when we met him and chatted with us for a bit

My lab was a therapy dog and we worked him on a lot of shows and movies when I lived in Hermosa Beach. We met a lot of folks and most were good. Reese Witherspoon was the best one and I wish I would have proposed

Who are the surfers? I grew up surfing with Hobgoods, Slater, Machado, CT Taylor, too many to list. Surfed both coasts and contest with them.

Chuck Norris- Actually had to fight in a tournament while he watch. That was intimidating as a kid, but he was a very nice guy.
Met quite a few baseball and football players over the years. Met Dixon Edwards at my great grandmothers funeral. Very nice and gracious to everyone.
Met Reba McEntire, her sister Susie Luchsinger (McEntire). They are both really nice. Susie use to come into the store I work at and would talk to her every time.
Met Antonio Margarito at a Manny Pacquiao fight. He was suppose to be the one to fight him that night but was still on suspension. Actually got shoved into him by a bunch of photographers when they recognized him. He just laughed about it and shook my hand.
The only one I met I didn't care for was Mark Cuban.
I met Tim Sylvia with my buddy Kyle at an ATA show one year and just about every hunting celebrity out there at the time. Thought I would include this photo for everyone. Just wish it was a clearer photo.
