Afternoon. So I used to do Demolition and we were doing a job in the Orlando area for Mark Tremonti, the guitars from Creed and Alter Bridge. Well, the whole month that we were there, I never let on that, I knew who it was, and I talked to them every day or whatever. 1 day, he went to go pick up a snapping turtle that was going across his yard. And I looked at him and I said, hey if you value those fingers as much as I think you do, and You really do. You might not want to touch that turtle, and he looked at me and I think that's when he realized that I knew who he was. Well, that's my story later.

My celebrity meeting was in 199192. Shaquille O'Neal had just signed up for the Orlando, Magic basketball team and I'm working at a swimming pool company. And there we sell basketball hoops that you put on the side of the pool and you can play hoops from the pool, he walks in, with his crew. Asked me about the basketball hoop. He looks at the price and goes, oh my God. That is so expensive. And then walks back out. But he was very nice. And before he did walk out, I was able to get his autograph and give it to my boss's. Nephew who was a huge Orlando Magic fan

Back in the early 90s, I was working at a restaurant called The Patio in the Hamptons and I met Rob Lowe Charlie Sheen. Melissa Gilbert all at 1 table. Susan Luchi and her family at 1 table and Howard costell. Would always come up and pay his check by himself. Wiggle wiggle, pop pop.

So, I've got 2 celebrity encounters. I'll try to make this quick since I only have a minute. The first 1 was in New York City. I was 16 years old and 40. Now this was in 2002, 8 Mile had just came out. I saw a young lady that looked like, Brittany Murphy. I told my mom, I said that looks like Brittany Murphy. My mom goes, hey, Brittany and sure enough. It was her, she came over, she talked to us, she got a picture with us. She was very nice. Um very kind woman, very short. She was very petite. I was like 5 feet at the time. I'm fully grown now at 5 foot 2 and she was as tall as I was in that picture. Um, and then my second celebrity encounter. I went to the Citrus Bowl. Um, there was a festival going on. And Snoop Dogg was there. I ended up getting backstage passes from a guy who was leaving the concert and randomly gave him to me. Um, Some radio station was interviewing him. They gave him a water bong. I said, hey Calvin. Taking a cue from my mom. From Brittany Murphy, and he came over and took a picture with me.

So about 01 or 02. Um, I was on vacation and near St. Augustine a buddy of mine wanted to meet up for a drink, so we go to matanzas Inlet in which is right at the mouth of the matanzas inlet below St. Augustine. And he said somebody else was, uh, joining us soon but we were, the only 2 people in the bar. um, probably there about an hour and in walks, Jimmy Buffett who was a friend of my friend and I could not speak for about 5 minutes and just kind of sit there with all the flappers being gassed and, um, yeah, literally drank beers and had conk fritters with Jimmy Buffett for like 2 hours there and they hopped in his Mercedes and took off. So weird. But, yeah, I got like, 2 more of these. But anyway, see you

Good day, news, junkies my actual celebrity encounter is a 1984. Um we had backstage passes and meet and greet with Elton John um at the Hollywood sportatorium. It was a cool event. He was a lot shorter than I expected him to be. Um, but he was still a really nice guy to talk to and got to know us, you know through conversation is And such. Have a great day later, guys.

What's going on News? Junkie crew, I've had 3 celebrity interactions in my life. There was 1 time at osfest back in like 98 I met Tom Maria the lead singer of Slayer Uh, I was also an extra in the water boy movie and I got to meet Adam Sandler and got him to autograph. My Yankees hat and then there was this 1 time. I met this guy at a just okay party. His name is Shawn Watson.

Scotty Long duk Dong here? When I was a kid, I was at, uh, Disney World and uh, getting off, Splash Mountain. And as I was getting off Splash Mountain, Robin Williams was waiting to get onto the ride when they switch over and I look over and he does the Robin Williams or the Missed Out Fire. That is my. Celebrity story. See.

What up News, Junkie dingo here. Hey, uh, this 1 time it must have been in like, the early 2000s. Um, I was in the Detroit airport and the person going through the security right in front of me. Was the 1 and only. George Clinton and you can't mistake that guy. And I actually really enjoy the uh the Parliament Funkadelic and I was trying to be cool. So I didn't even say anything. I just kind of gave him the the, what's up knob? Like I knew who he was and he said, what up, dog? Boom, made my day.

Okay, 2 things celebrity interaction, I met Jeff Foxworthy in an airport when I was like, 8 years old, which was a huge deal because he was super funny to an 8-year-old. Um, cream of the pie. I think that's a better analogy for something, being good than cream of the crop. What is the cream of the crop? And how do you grow cream? I want to stop saying the word cream. So have a great day. Bye.
