One of the first celebs I served at a bar in LA was Vince Vaughn. He came in by himself to watch football (Bears fan), a massive man. He went around to various groups of people buying them drinks, talkin shit, and taking pictures. He hung out for like 4 hours, tipped me $150. Super sweet & cool guy!

R.I.P. to the great Terence Stamp, mainstay of failed franchise starters of a certain era and star of actually great films like SUPERMAN II and THE LIMEY! We've recorded a couple episodes in which he's been featured (and we'll cover a few more), but he'll always be Zod to us!
