What's the scoop on Cusack? How exactly is he a douche, what kind of stuff does he do?

IDK if this counts, but Scott Van Pelt is cool as frick.

Went to see his show before the Bama game on Friday afternoon at Walk On's. Everybody is packed in on their patio and 2 friends and I bring chairs and an ice chest and post up outside the gate. Scott noticed us at a commercial break and called us out on air. After the show he called us over and let us skip the line to talk to him and take pictures.

A few weeks later at the Super Bowl in NOLA we went to his show and he remembered us and talked to us for a good bit.

John Besh ("August" restaurant N.O. chef/owner)personally came out of the kitchen and told Penn that it would be better if he never came back to his restaurant.

He is just a prick. When he was in town shooting "Runaway Jury" my ex showed him and his PA about 6 places to rent in the FQ. My ex had a broken foot and was wearing a boot. That day it rained a ton and the streets were flooded. They slodged through the FQ and even stopped for a couple of drinks at Absinthe House to get out of the rain.

The next night we go out to the Ritz to watch some music and he is in the elevator on the ride. My ex says, "hey John, how was your day"?

He looks at her an says, "Who the frick are you"? She still had her boot on. They had spent hours together and he is just one smug motherfricker.

Well did he tell her who she was and did he remember her?

Damn, what an a-hole. You would hope maybe he was just having one bad day, but who says something like that?

I sat next to Matt Forte at Tipitina's once. I went there in the late afternoon to get my credit card from the night before. I didn't recognize him until I had ordered a beer. I tried to small talk, he wasn't having it. He actually left shortly after and the bartender couldn't stop talking about how big of a dick he was. He had a couple friends with him, maybe he was just trying to act tough.

Rush Limbaugh sat down with my family and talked to us like we've been family friends for 20 years. Then he paid for our entire meal, bottles of wine and every dessert on the menu. Then left before we had a chance to thank him.





Same exact thing happened to me. My wife, who hates him but went along with it because she knows I'm a fan, had to admit he was very nice. He paid for our meal in the exact same way too, without us knowing and unable to thank him.

My ex doesn't mince words.. '"You are an a-hole". Needless to say she didn't rent him a place. He stayed in a suite at The Ritz. She did rent houses in the Garden District to Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman for that movie.

Its a running theme with him. Everyone who has met Cusack says he is a royal piece of shite.



Archie and Eli were in my fraternity at Ole Miss and I've talked to both extensively. Eli is a fricking prick, but Archie couldn't be a nicer. I had a hard time believing such a nice dude produced such a choad of a man.

It was maybe Penn's third time at the restaurant, each time he had been an arse to the wait staff, they are paid to deal with that, but he would complain about his food and have it returned to the kitchen multiple times, Besh got tired of it.

I bet Gene Hackman likes a nice scotch in front of a nice fireplace. I bet Hoffman likes to sniff used panties in a dark corner of a motel.


Those are just the vibes I get from those 2.

Y'all realize Rush Limbaugh was so fricked up on pills during these dinners he couldn't feel his feet?


Dude parties hardy.

I didn't meet either, but heard Hackman loves the sauce from his time here.

Same here. Met him at the Mabry House. Followed him out the door to get his autograph because he is my mom's favorite actor. He was really cool about it and couldn't have been nicer.
