So my celebrity story is I was in the air Atlanta airport and Vince, Carter happened to be flying. Uh, on my same flight and he came and sat like 1 chair over from me in the, in the lounge. And, uh, a bunch of people. Came over to him, I was like, oh, Vince Carter Vince. Carter, uh, can we get an autograph? Blah, blah, blah. And, um, he was like, no, no, no, it's not me, it's not me. And then, um, all those people left cuz he just kind of ignored them. And then finally, when he got up to go into first class, he was like, yo man, thanks and give me a fist bump as he boarded the flight, pretty cool, uh, that I didn't Fanboy out on him and he acknowledged that. All right, cool.

All right, guys, this uh, this 100% true when I lived in Maui. So I'm at a bar at the upper side, classy side of the island uh go to the bathroom. There's like 4, huge Samoans just like guarding the gate. Uh it was super weird but just go on mine. My own business. I'm in the the restroom but seems like nobody's there. Um start you know, taking my piss in the Earl. All the sudden. I in the stall immediately next to me. I start hearing. somebody do these noises like oh, like, What? Is are they in pain? Are they? Pleasuring them. What, what is going on? I, I just I had to get out of there. So I I just hurry, shake things up. Go wash my hands. So now I'm at the the sink with this giant mirror. And I'm hurrying up washing my hands with the stall directly behind me. All the sudden I hear this like the loudest thunder. Clap like And it's scares the literal. Sat of me. I splash water everywhere. Like, I I'm just staring in the mirror and I see the dark. The door jarring open. And there's this. Little lady, old lady. Little old lady. She's just like almost like pausing swinging. her hips and she's got this long braided hair, there's flowers in it, and she's just like, Doing this weird thing with her lips and she's staring right at me. and, I'm just like a 5 Seconds of Silence just staring at this. Person. And then I realized, oh my God. That's Stephen Tyler. And when I recognized him, I turned around and I go dude. Were you okay in there? and he just turned some looks at me and starts smacking his lips like, Looking good. My man, looking good and feeling good and then just Seated out the bathroom. And I'm just standing there drenched in water. and I think to myself, That mfer didn't wash his hands. All right, that's my submission.

so, my celebrity story is uh, getting to try Uh, very rare whiskey with reeba McIntyre. Uh, I was 1 of the photographers for her son's wedding and we were at the rehearsal dinner and they're big whiskey and bourbon people. So they had to try it, her son, and her future daughter-in-law were trying it first, they asked reeba to come in and try it as well. Reeba heard us, the photographer is talking about it and she just turned looked at us. So y'all want to try some and she got a glass for us to try as well. Um, it was amazing. Absolutely. Amazing. Everything you see on TV about reeba her accent, the way she talks. The way she acts, it is 100% genuine. Definitely 1 of the coolest moments of my photography career, I'll upload a couple of photos in the dispatches

So in the early 2000s, things were wild here in the Daytona area. I don't think I actually hooked up with any legitimate celebrities. However, I did hook up with spring break, Nationals models, right? And what that is is you have these big, huge car shows, come to town with big, massive audio companies, liquor and alcohol companies, all that kind of stuff, and they employed models to represent their brands and those models would be a different events, signing autographs, taking pictures with everybody. So they're basically celebrities so at Days Inn when I hooked up with some of them, I damn sure felt like I was getting some celebrity booty at the time, so you

So I have 2 family related. Um, both kind of unfortunate. Uh, celebrity interactions, first 1 was in the late 80s, walking down uh Church Street. Um, my family and I we passed this couple that had like an Entourage following them. My brother was the only 1 who recognized who it was and uh, he's like, oh, hey juice. What's going on, man? And he was, he was cool, he's like nothing much how you doing. And, uh, kept on walking, it was OJ and Nicole Brown Simpson and then about 10 years after that, my cousin was on a business trip, flying across country and sat down on a bench and in the middle of an airport, uh, right next to Bill Cosby, and I have a picture of that 1, but I can't find it to send in a visual dispatch. I'm still looking.

So my celebrity encounter was indirect, but my uncle actually encountered Rev Run of Run DMC at a casino in Southern Indiana, um, which is so random, but so, fabulous. I think the show had ended by that point, but it's um, it was around the time when runs house had done, its thing on MTV so I was so pumped. I'll cherish this thing forever. Still have it random piece of paper, maybe even a napkin it just says to my name and then his signature. But yeah, I love that show so much. He had been be in the bubble bath at the end of each episode type in on his BlackBerry type in his little mantras and he would say God is love Rev Run the best.

Yoki Chads, just checking in on that. That story about the the duck and the dog. And oh my God, it's so cute. But it was so sad. When the family said that the drugs had made the dog lose its spunk AKA ski, which as we all know, means poop. What the hell was that woman talking about anyway, tip your ducts.

I was working in the Middle East on the boarder between the UAE and Saudi. The crown prince of Saudi Arabia along with some Formula 1 drivers showed up at the hotel bar to drive. By the end of the night I was drinking with them and the prince paid the bill. [Crowd Cheering]
