I've met several - mostly playing cards in high roller room. John Daly was hilarious. Justin Timberlake & Cameron Diaz when they were a couple. Both were extremely nice & friendly. Patrick Ewing is biggest human being I've ever seen.

Adam "Pacman" Jones is a complete POS. He told the dealer he needed some condoms. Because he was a celebrity, the pit boss got in her car & went to a gas station to buy him a box of condoms & later on he just left the condoms laying there on the table. Just a fn a-hole.

Had lunch with Brooke Shields. I was stationed in Bahrain with the Corps (air wing) during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. She came by the Bahraini cafeteria where we were allowed to eat. She was with the Bob Hope show. She sat at the table across from me. I was quietly eating with my head down, and she sat down in front of me and said “hi.“ We started chatting while we ate lunch. It was pretty damn surreal.

Too many to remember but my sister ran a Von's in Vegas right by a prominent neighborhood. I didn't want to bother Mike Tyson but she knew him and he called me over to chat. Very nice guy. Just sitting in thr Starbucks there waiting for her to get off I would see Matt Damon incognito coming in for coffee. Toni Braxton was there all the time and she gave me some jungle fever

Charlie Hustle

He was pissing at the urinal next to the only open one.

Didn’t say anything to him.

tl/dr: Pete Rose, the takeaway is that he used to have to piss.

Was at Louie's in BR on Sunday morning right around 7 am back around 1990. Sat at the counter and was reading the paper, the guy 3 stools over was Paul Newman. We shared the paper. I knew who he was, let him be other than asking him for a section of the paper if he wasn't reading it. Back then in the morning people would buy newspapers, read them and just leave them around for other people

Fred Durst and the bass player and drummer of Limp Bizkit. I owned an independent taxi cab company and picked them up at the Hilton down town. When they told me who they were I was impressed that they would take an ordinary taxi cab. They said they have a business budget too. And get this, they went to play golf! The course over by Claycut. They said few people ever recognize them playing golf. They enjoyed the peace as opposed to their loud and rowdy nightlife performances.
Also in my cab I met the bassist of Blind Melon. He told me he was from New Orleans. He wrote "No Rain" about an ex girlfriend who was bi polar. He went to play tennis at a court near the corner of Jefferson and Corporate.

Met George Strait at the PMAC in the early 90’s.

I was working as a medic for the show and was backstage after.

Next to the stage was a barrier with a few fans still remaining. A girl yells out “are you worth going to jail for?” I had no idea who she was yelling at, laughed & turned around and George was standing there. He saw me laughing and asked what she said…told him and his eyes got really big and said “tell her NO!”

Later he was eating at the back stage buffet with the crew (only time I ever saw the talent hang with the crew after a show). He was very cool, talked with him for a few minutes.

LSU basketball camp summer of 1993. Walk out of the field house and there is a dude laying on the ground with a Cadillac hood ornament next to him. Look past that guy, there’s Shaq.

Dude had stolen Shaq’s hood ornament.

For some reason I had a disposable camera in my bag that day. Got a photo with Shaq, but he bluntly said he wasn’t doing autographs. We were both young in 1993. Fast forward and he has a house less than 5 miles from me today.

Have met Marcus Spears several times. Bradie James. Dale Brown.

Jonas brothers came to my work and we had to let them in back doors and give them private access. Good dudes.

Ran into Michael Irvin at a bar in Dallas—dude was a dickhead.

Ran into Troy Aikman at a convenience store where we were both buying miller lite. Had a nice conversation and shook hands as we introduced ourselves. Looking back at it, he was probably wondering why the hell I thought he needed to know my name.

Ross Perot—we catered a huge event at his house and he was a very nice dude. Wanted corn on the cob and that was the one food item we ran out of. I can still hear him saying… “where’s the corn on the cob? I want some corn on the cob!”

David Allan Coe… got on his bus after a concert. He signed a $5 bill and I spent it a few minutes later. It was still worth $5.

Former Dallas Cowboy Randy White… good dude.

I could keep going. Bringing back some fun memories.

my daughter worked for the Cowboys for a number of years and I've met a bunch of those same people, we still do a fundraiser with Mean Joe Green every year(coming up in a couple of months,) that a lot of those "older" Cowboys attend, I've become fairly good friends with Randy White through that event, he is a really good dude, funny, down to earth, and as MAGA as they get

I don't see the resemblance but a lot of people mistake me for Randy White, in fact, at the fund raising event I've had people come up to me and ask to take their picture with me thinking I'm him

Bro, you should have asked her out for a drink. Shooters shoot.

<——Went to Dizzy Dean’s funeral in Wiggins as a kid.

Bear Bryant was there, my dad played freshman ball at UK for him about 25 years before that.

He and the old man talked a bit afterwards.

Not a bathroom story, sorry to disappoint.
