Work in the restaurant business in Williamson County, Tennessee. It’s Franklin, so it’s where most of your celebrity and music people live. Here are my interactions.

Zach Piller - played offensive line for the gators and titans. The dude, man, I can’t say enough good things about him. He and his wife own some bars called Neighbors. I’ve worked for he and her and both are salt of the earth humans. Zach is a big arse kid. Me and him bonded over our love of Jaws. He showed up to work one day dressed like the Amity mayor, in full authentic suit. He also gave me some Quint action figures that are impossible to find. He let me wear my Tennessee Vols hats while working and we would rib each other. Or, my Steelers hats. He was just your typical good time BAW. Still is. The guy personally helped me get sober, when I was going through some tough times. If you are ever in Nashville or Franklin and want to meet him or just frequent his bar - Neighbors - it’s money well spent. They give big time to charities in the Nashville area.

Served the following -

Will Bartholomew - he and his family are Tennessee blue bloods and he started D1 training with Peyton. Great dude. Great family. Tips BIGLY. His kids are very well behaved, which is hard to say about a lot of the kids in Williamson County.

Albert Haynesworth - he is quiet. Like REALLY quiet. Which seems the antithesis of his sports career. Just laid back and doesn’t really want to be bothered about sports stuff anymore. So, I always just let him be and serve him and he takes care of me

Keith Bullock - he owns a coffee shop next to Neighbors in Franklin and was always in to visit Zach. Another good dude. He is more chatty than Haynesworth and likes to talk sports. He’s a guy, like Zach, that doesn’t care what you do, for his business,
Youre family to him. I always ribbed him about disrespecting the terrible towel, but he was always cool about it. Good human being

Served Naomi Judd a lot, before she passed away. Seriously a good human being. Didn’t really want anyone to fawn all over her, just wanted to be treated like everyone else.

Served Ryan Tannehill - good dude. Very respectful. It makes me feel bad the way the media and fans treat him - but, it’s the NFL, so I get it - but again, he just wants to be treated like everyone else and is a big ‘ thank you ‘ type of guy

RA Dickey - played in the MLB for awhile with his knuckleball. Great dude! He will talk to you about his MLB days and loves interacting with people. He is what any southern BAW should aspire to be as a family man.

Jay Cutler - kinda what you’d expect. He used to come in with his wife, before they separated. She was sweet, but you could tell they were having their ‘ issues ‘ … he’s aloof and some would say ‘ cold ‘ … I just knew what to expect and leave him be. Take his order, take care of him and his kids and give them good service. He was nice and tipped really well. Just knew not to really bother him about sports and stuff. Drove a HUGE truck with those big arse spotlights on it, always double parked, which cracked me up. I know he’s a big time hunter, so I never questioned his need of a truck that big, like I would some boardroom executive, who would drive the same truck. The dude would POUND a triple burger and fries. I mean, destroy it, and he never gained a pound. His kids were very well behaved and respectful too, even after the separation.

Sam Hunt - your typical BAW. Would always sit at the bar, wearing the most random stuff, so no one would recognize him. If they did, he was affable and nice. He just wants to hang with his buddies and drink and have a good time. He’s a generous tipper and he always treated me and others with respect. The ‘ yes ma’am ‘ / ‘ no ma’am ‘ type of BAW we were raised to be in the south.

There’s more, but that’s all for now. I don’t post a lot, but this thread brought me out of the ol’ TD bushes.
