Going to Harrison Ford's house next month. He's friends with a friend of mine and invited me over for a beer.

All were down to earth, nice fellas

Bruce Springsteen at the gym in 1985

Greg Maddux & Tom Glavine at a bar called "Jordan's" in Atlanta. Funny thing is, they looked like just two nerds sitting at the bar playing trivia. Bar was slow (Wed nite) 1995

Peter Weller at a bar in Atlanta 1996

Steven Yeun at a toy booth after a comic con in New Orleans. He was signing at the comic con, but this was afterwards, he was shopping. 2013

Tammy Faye Baker at Cracker Barrel in Pigeon Forge during the time of all the shite with her husband was going on. 1984

Served Shaq a drink at Heartbreak (Penthouse now) back when he played at LSU 1989?

Bert Jones at Ruffino's to give him his LSU letterman jacket back. 2012

The bands "One Republic" & "Panic at the Disco" at Brennan's, 2016

I have a hard time considering athletes and coaches as "celebrities

Saban is a celebrity, as well as Shaq, but people like Ryan Theriot, I wouldn't consider him as one.

And I'm only counting celebrities I've met in the wild, so meeting a bunch of athletes at a camp or stars at a comic con not legit. I count my Steven Yeun because he was shopping at the con

If Archie Manning is considered a celebrity, I not only met him, but I kind of worked with him. I worked for the Saints in 1986 and '87. One day I ended up in an elevator to the Saints offices in the dome, all alone, with #8. I knew enough by then to be quiet around the honchos, so I pressed 4 and shut the frick up. Immediately, Archie Manning(!), speaks to me! He says, "Hey, listen ... I'm embarrassed to say this, but ... well, I've seen you around a lot, but I don't know your name. I'm Archie Manning." And then he stuck out his hand. I let out kind of a nervous laugh and said, "Uh, yeah. I know who you are. I'm White Roach."

I also partied with Josh Hartnett on Mardi Gras day a year or two after Katrina. CNN was set up on a balcony right next to us at the Royal Sonesta. Kind of early in the day, maybe noonish(?), they were interviewing this handsome guy who was obviously somebody to them. When the interview was done, I asked him, "Why were they interviewing you?" He said, "I'm not really sure myself. I'm not from here and I don't really know what this is all about." So I told him, "We are all from here. Come over to our balcony and we'll show you what it's all about." We both laughed, and I thought our encounter was over.

A little while later, the teenage daughter of our host answered the door to find Josh Hartnett standing there and saying he'd been invited over. He turned out to be a very cool guy. Super laid back.

I seen't Evander Holyfield walking by the Varsity in Atlanta after the Tech game this year as well

Met one last night.

As a youth I fought in karate tournaments and at the battle of Atlanta I met Chuck Norris and Bill Wallace.

No, he didn't. He didn't have sex with her either.
