Peyton Manning at a dinner near Universal in Orlando. He was meeting a few golfers there and walked in while we were waiting on a table. Was super cool and talked with us for like 5-10 minutes. This was back in his Broncos days.

At a quarterback camp I got to eat breakfast with Jameis Winston. A super genuine dude.

Threw some passes in the offseason to Andre Johnson, and Emmanuel Sanders when they were still in the league.

Allegedly I met George HW Bush at his library when I was like 5 according to my grandpa.

Played some roulette at like 3 AM with Dak Prescott at the nugget which was awesome.

Did you just dead name Caitlyn ? How dare you sir


When I met him, he was a him and his name was Bruce. This was probably around 1977, not long after he won the gold medal. He was going around college campuses doing a speaking tour. I was there as a photographer. He noticed that I had a broken wrist in a cast and came over afterwards and asked me about it. Said he had broken his once. We talked for 30-45 minutes. I was expecting a stuck-up jock, but he was very down to earth and nice.

Caitlin .... got no clue how he got there, but living with all those Kardasians is bound to screw you up.

I played basketball against Chuck once when he was a sophomore at Auburn. He was pretty chunky in those days. Something that big should not move that fast or jump that high. He was amazingly athletic. I played with some other AU basketball players who later made it to the NBA, but Chuck was something else.

Not me, but George W Bush spent the night with my in-laws. He and my FIL got shitfaced drunk. MIL wasn’t too pleased with them.

Other than politicians, I can’t think of any major celebrity I’ve met.

Met Shaq at LSU basketball camp summer of 1993. He took a picture with me but said no autographs today…

Met Troy Aikman at a gas station in Plano—we were both buying beer. He game me an autograph.

David Allan Coe on his bus after a concert in College Station. He signed a dollar bill I had and I spent it later that night.

Marcus Spears several times.
Nick Jonas
Michael Irvin
Jerry Stackhouse
Kirk Herbstreit
Desmond Howard
Coach Corso
Ross Perot
Willie Nelson

I’m sure there are more, but brain is blurry from last night.

When he married Linda Thompson she had no idea he would end up like that. Once he revealed his true desires to become a woman she was not okay with it as his wife and they got divorced. He understood and they remain friends to this day, but that is not who she wanted to stay married to. She doesn’t regret it, because she loves her two boys she had with him.

When Bruce got with Kris Jenner he wanted to be more honest and up front about wanting to become a woman. She knew from the very beginning about his desires to eventually become a woman and she did not care, because she was interested in the fame.

I waited on him and Lori Morgan in 1993 at Gibbs Station in Coppell, TX on the same day I read in the National Enquire they broke up.

If you act like a regular person, you'll usually have a regularly acting celebrity.

When I was in 6th grade, we kept our horses at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, RI (Dad was at the Naval War College). Hammersmith was owned by Hugh Auchincloss, who was married to Jacqueline Kennedy's mother.

The gardener's house was nicer than most homes. The stable was nicer than any home I've ever lived in.

There was a huge mansion. JFK, Jr. and Caroline Kennedy came to visit. JFK, Jr. rode a go cart all around the estate. He and I engaged in a "who could walk the top board of the white fence" the longest. My mom, Janet Auchincloss, and Caroline Kennedy would go riding.

Hugh Auchincloss gave me a ride one day in his Rolls-Royce LOL. If I went riding, passing tour buses would stop and tourists would take my picture.

The stables (I'm sitting on one of the horses)



Dad riding Lahaina (horse we bought in Hawaii) by a guest "lighthouse" by Naragansett Bay.

Bruce Pearl walked through our AAU team meeting outside of nationals to go scout Austin Rivers

While watching the Yankees play 5 games in one long weekend against Baltimore, staying in the team's hotel, rode in the elevator with Yogi Berra. As a 10 year old, too scared to do anything but stare. One of the ugliest persons I had ever seen. Out in the lobby, he was just as nice & friendly, signing autographs till the bus had to leave. Toney Kubek was a flaming a-hole.

I sat next to Jaws from the bond movies on a plane once. I am 6ft4 (low key brag) and rarely feel short… I felt short. He also had on sandals and a Hawaiian shirt, I am not longer terrified of him like I was as a kid
