I had the chance earlier today to talk with Playmate Kendra Wilkinson, star of The Girls Next Door and her own reality television show Kendra, and former NBA star and current TNT Inside the NBA studio analyst Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith on a wide range of topics including their participation in the ‘Sobe Lifewater Zero Inhibitions Bracket Challenge.’

In the interview (watch video above), I asked Kendra about being a new mom. Her son Hank IV was born on December 11, 2009. I asked her about how she dealt with postpartum depression, how she went about losing her pregnancy weight, and how far she has her hometown San Diego State University Aztecs advancing in the NCAA tourney.

(The SDSU Aztecs (#11) play the Tennessee Vols (#6) in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday in Rhode Island.)

With Kenny, I asked him about his alma mater, North Carolina, and how far he had them advancing in the NIT Tournament. The Tar Heels, loaded with talent and resources, missed the NCAA Tournament after going 16-16 after winning the National Championship last year.

I also asked him about columnist Jason Whitlock’s theory that the NCAA Selection Committee intentionally handed Duke an easy bracket to the Final Four. Whitlock’s theory is that Duke brings huge ratings and that in a TV contract year for the NCAA they want TV ratings to be as high as possible when it is time to renegotiate with CBS.

Kenny had a surprise answer when I asked him, as of today, who his NBA Rookie of the Year would be. I gave him the options of Tyreke Evans and Stephon Curry.  His answer was neither of the two and might surprise you on 55 different levels.

Both Kendra and Kenny spoke fondly of Sobe Lifewater and dared anyone to sign up and attempt to pick more correct NCAA basketball tournament winners than they do in their brackets.

Enter the Sobe Bracket Challenge to try to beat Kendra and Kenny with your NCAA basketball bracket picks.  Sobe is putting up over $10 million dollars in prize money.  You could even earn a chance to meet them if you can beat them with your b-ball selections.

We finally got a good part of our video footage from last weekend’s Presidential Civil Forum from Saddleback Church edited and put together. After the forum between Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain our Bump Media crew interviewed dozens of those in attendance as they were leaving the event.

Everyone seemed to have an opinion, but most decided to not tell who they were voting for, with a few exceptions as you will see in the highlight reel.

Take time to watch the video above. I believe you will find it pretty interesting considering it’s the opinions of those that saw the forum live, and not the rambling, blathering nonsense of some political pundit off of network/cable news.

Special thanks to Josh Babich for filming the event and spending many hours editing the hours of footage. I would also like to especially thank my sexy, hot little reporter, who was a pro by the end of the night, and essential in garnering us access to this one-of-a-kind event.

More Video Footage of the Forum

Below you will find video clips of Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama that we filmed this past Saturday night at the Saddleback Civil Forum. We have paired together McCain’s and Obama’s answers on ‘Stem Cell Research’ here for you to watch and decide who you agree with the most.

Remember you can be 100% committed to a candidate and still like the other candidates answer better on certain issues.

I will be posting several of these over the next couple of weeks as the election approaches. Don’t forget to vote at the bottom of this post on which answer you like best.

Here is some more of our footage we shot Saturday night at the McCain-Obama Civil Forum at Saddleback Church and hosted by Pastor Rick Warren. In this clip Barack Obama responds to Rick’s question on what amount of money makes one rich in the United States. Warren gets in a funny remark about how expensive it is to live in southern California in this clip.
