Our room at the W hotel Hollywood. Place is nice.
Jen and I saying hi from our room.
No breakfast is complete without Tony the Tiger.
My turn.
They’re Grreeeeeeeeaatt!!!
Off to the PLAYBOY mansion. You know, the mansion was cool and all… But what it boiled down to… it was a big house, with a big yard. With a really nice outdoor pool, hot tubs, grotto, sweet outdoor bar, tent, painted girls, Sheckler, Ron Jeremy, Kim Kardashian, Amare Stoudamire…. ok the Playboy mansion was pretty damn cool.

Striking another.
Golf the next day. Here is Bode Miller lining up a EAGLE put. We participated in the V foundationfor cancer, celebrity fundraiser. Raised over 1 million dollars! Really cool to be a part of it.
Bode sinking his EAGLE! Nice work man! Bode was an amazing golfer. It was about my 10th time ever golfing… I did much better than I thought I would - so that was cool. But check this out, we had to be on the shuttle at 6:45am the morning after the Playboy mansion! Rough morning!
Off to another party that night.
Jen striking another pose - she’s getting good at this! Every time I had to talk her into it, she really didn’t want to.. She did incredible. Very scary though for sure.
Onto the big night. Here our are tickets to get onto the red carpet, to get into the ESPYs, after party..
Driving in the shuttle to the ESPYs. There was a caravan of approx 10 shuttles taking the athletes from the W hotel in West Hollywood to the venue in downtown LA. Not shitting you, we had police escorts allowing the caravan to run red lights the whole way there, motorcycle police just about took out 3 pedestrians and a stroller crossing the street, a little excessive.
Traffic jam on the red carpet. This scene was intense, Ditka there, Joe Namath there, Terrell Owens over there, Brett Favre I just bumped into, Serena Williams in the house, Will Ferrell is right freaking there.. and so on. We had a really funny thing happen to us on the red carpet, if you haven’t read about it yet, CLICK HERE (it’s worth it).
Inside the show, about to get started..
Shaun White accepting his “Best Olympic Performance” award. Shaun White is a pretty chill kid, he was at the after party, I didn’t have a chance to talk to him, but I observed a little - he walked into the hotel lobby and was greeted with mad love from some big-ass football/NFL dudes. And when you think about it, NFL is global yes, but mostly USA. Shaun White IS global, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of the most recognizable people on the planet. Props to Shaun. Amazing athlete.
Overall, the show was very entertaining, I had a great time.
After the show we headed back to the hotel to hit the after party on the roof. Here is the ticket. Pretty official. We took a nap from midnight to 1:00am, then we got out there - I was surprised we made it out of bed! It was awesome though. Fun rubbing shoulders with that crowd.
Day after the show, we met up with some friends in Venice and rode bikes around and chilled out.

Jen, her agent Matty Horn, and me holding it up.
A couple of cold beers, with my buddy Jess Sluder from Venice, he’s a good friend from Utah that’s been living out there for about 5 years now. He is also an amazing artist that is doing some work for Discrete headwear.
There I am in a Discrete trucker hat featuring Jess’s art. Thanks Jess! I also got a different one of Jess’s Discrete hats onto, legendary WWF wrestler, IRON SHEIK, at the playboy mansion, I have a great photo I’ll release soon.
Jen about to crash into me, haha.
We made up.
