I was catching a flight from PHX to TUL 2 Sunday's ago and Catherine Bach (a.k.a Daisy Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard) was standing in line in front of me checking her luggage. Not sure where she was going but she was instantly recognized by a lot of people and was super nice, taking pictures and signing autographs. I opted out of talking to her but now I regret not taking a picture with her.

My 8 year old got to sit across the aisle from Starling Marte from the Pittsburgh Pirates. PHX to PIT flight. Super nice guy, talked to my son for a little on the flight. He even watched my son play a baseball game on his tablet until my son decided to bench him in the game
. We then saw him while we were waiting for the parking shuttle. Super nice guy and very polite.

Teller is 5'9" tall, so he's actually not "carry-on" small - its just that Penn is a giant in comparison. I met both of them after their magic show where they talk to everyone in the lobby. I was surprised that Teller was "normal" size and that he actually speaks (just not in the show or on camera). Their show is really good.
