Famous quotes by Kenny Mayne:

"The biggest problem was matching what we were saying to the video,"
"Their whole thing was that every state was going to be as unique as possible. I'm from Seattle and for Washington they did ultimate frisbee,"
"I had never heard of it (the rodeo) until this year. Probably for the public it's kind of this oddity of getting to go to a prison, not like you're really going to prison but you're touching it in some fashion and being able to see a unique event."
"I'm not trying to make fun of everyone, and not everyone is supposed to get that kind of humor. But the people here seemed to like it. The guy really wanted to tell me what kind of tree he would be,"
"I'm going to hold up play for Tiger."
"I don't regret it at all. It's led to other things."
"I have no problem creating an international incident."
