Have you met a famous athlete?

And here he was sitting next to me. It was very cool experience. So there is my story. If have, have, have, have, have you met a famous athlete experience? Because we often just share those with our friends, but we don't actually share them with other people. And they're neat stories, I think

But I got to meet other Oregon, Stefan Bonner, Randy Couture, Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie within the span of 30 minutes, they all took pictures with me, signed headshots as a fan of mixed martial arts, that was in many ways, almost like meeting the Mount Rushmore of MMA fighters. It was just I was completely blown own way. I mean, to be in the presence of Gracie, that alone meant a lot to me. It's

I was at Disneyland, and we had gone with a friend of ours who was at the time had a show on ABC so he could get backstage or backstage. We could cut the line and go in the artist entrance and other celebrity entrance. And we went to this back room behind Tomorrowland. And there was this huge, tall guy walking towards me, and he walked kind of fast, and I was like, oh, my God, that's Kobe Bryant. So I took a picture of him

This is for Taylor and Mike. This is interesting. Six degrees of separation here. I had a friend I lived in San Diego for one year, a long time ago, and a friend of mine, she was turned out that she was Brazilian, and she was the cousin. I think his name is Hoist Gracie. He's one of the early big fighters. Sort of make it quite famous out there. And I didn't really know much about it at the time

Wait a minute. Pete, was he gassing up the car? Was it a Ferrari and was he going to Santa Monica? That's the question. And was he going to almost hit me on my bike? This story gets weirder by the day

Not only was he in a Ferrari, but he had your name written across his forehead. He was on the war path. No, I'm kidding. He was in a big SUV. Some massive four wheel drive thing. That's all I remember. Must have been a different day. Different day, different story

Now I think of it, but it was a good indoor gym. So whatever. Maybe they lived nearby because the one player that I didn't meet, I heard of people coming through and I didn't meet them, but I met Brian Shaw. I don't know. He played for the Lakers for a hot minute, and I think he played next to what was that guy's name? Such a fan. Oh, the short guy with the bald head. What was his name anyway?

Steph Curry. Yes. That is a great call. I would also like to meet Steve Kerr as well. Those guys, they all seem like such cool, level headed and just positive influences for kids who really watch sports. And sort of coming up in the next generation, you hear people say, oh, don't bring your politics to sports, and they get all grumpy about that and stuff on social media

Tempted to delete this as too ... too .. but that's me! Messy but 💕🙏😊

I remember I used to think of Michael Jordan as a good role model, and I still do a little bit, but he's a little bit tarnished. I like that. He never had any public scandals. Pretty much he wasn't perfect. He had gambling, and he didn't stay married to his first wife. But that has nothing to do with his athleticism. And so I always admired his athletic approach until I found out how egotistical apparently he was

Hey, Brooke, the person we went to Disneyland with was actually an actor in a show called Revenge at the time was an ABC show. I guess ABC is owned by Disney. And that was a while ago, but his name is Henry Churney. Really solid. Cool dude. He's been in a couple of movies. He's one of those actors. You look at his face and you're like, oh, yeah. Okay
