Security Stories 3 - Celebrity Edition!! Eastenders and NBA Stars

[@minttul.8237]

Makes me sick how famous ppl can get away with shitty behaviour... If one is a rich asshole it doesn't make him/her any less of an asshole.

[@thatgearguy]

Celebs definitely got a free pass to act like asses.

[@diemes5463]

toilet guy was surprisingly wholesome, tipped well, didn't cause trouble and grateful for his lavatory experience

[@Bob-fj7lr]

Definitely sounded like a rookie who had never been in a bar before lol

[@jtzoltan]

​@@Bob-fj7lrstill very wholesome

[@senseibenjamin]

I think being famous, just being able to get a bit of peace and quiet away from a crowded club. Quite a few athletes are introverts and need the time to recharge. That’s why i think he was chilling there but interesting regardless. Thanks as always from a guard.

[@stevem815]

I was folding the laundry and kept having to stop because the story of the guy going in the toilet had me laughing so much. One of the funniest stories I've heard in ages. Thanks for the laugh.

[@thatgearguy]

Love that!

[@Janary08]

Poor girl learned the hard way "dont meet your heroes" :(

Sounded like Dennis Rodman

[@smokenjoe001]

I like these stories, always so interesting! Thank you!

[@thatgearguy]

Thanks Joe!

[@piakiby1566]

Crazy stuff. Sounds like zoo keeping 😂. Karen Blixen would applaud your story telling skills. I have never done much clubbing. But if I were to go to a club, I would for sure want you on the security team.

[@thatgearguy]

Thanks Pia. It used to be a good job. But they regulated it into oblivion in the UK. Now it is a badly paid job and the staff are what you expect for £9 an hour..

[@DianneWestbrook]

It's September 11th 2024 and I just discovered your stories, and wow are they good! You seem like such a good, decent man. I wish there were more people like you in the world

Top notch story telling, keep em coming.. 🍿

[@thatgearguy]

Thanks! Will do!

[@rddavies]

Great stories. I learned something many years ago observing a tour manager of a well known music act. When it comes to being around celebrities every one gets tongue tied and kind of stupid. This guy instinctively knew how to diffuse situations like that with humor and the gift of gab. You seem like exactly that sort of person. A witty remark to diffuse any sort of tense situation is probably to be preferred to any other trick of the trade.

[@Zampan0]

This guy has some good stories and he tells them well. He has good common sense as well. He's very entertaining. I was starting to think all Brits were lying weirdos but he changed my mind.

[@thatgearguy]

Ha! Thanks bud.

[@MrLetmein2011]

Listening to this video I’m so glad and grateful that I gave up alcohol and drugs years ago. I can go to any social event and leave before it gets messy , the embarrassment of what we do when out of it . Thank God 🙏🏻

[@praddzzz]

Denis R was an obnoxious guy even in the NBA. And his party stories are crazy. The one you mentioned here seems to be just a regular night for him.

[@clddouglas]

Love the security stories! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nah, Rodman was a frequent partier, he surely wouldnt have been as thick as that. The guy he describes sounds like he was on the third night out of his life!

Shout out to those two Saffer lads. Hilarious.

[@imthelawson2361]

Love the stories. Being a hockey guy myself, I’m curious if you’ve had any run-ins with any pros and how it was. I know the EIHL’s been growing over there in the UK recently, but I’m not sure how big it was when you were still working these types of jobs.

[@thatgearguy]

Hmm never had any experience with hockey teams. Only Rugby and Football..

[@Lance-yl5sz]

Toilet story is hilarious 😂

So he went into the VI-Pee room.

[@letsdothis9063]

The nice bathroom thing is kind of surprising. Even my favorite clibs always had disgusting nathrooms.

[@AVKnecht]

Afrikaaner accent is so funny. They sound aggressive even if they don't want to. And most of those guys are accustomed to violence on a level that we Europeans just can't imagine.

[@evilmotorsports5076]

Until I heard story 3, I thought story 2 was Rodman.

[@dprcontracting6299]

Unfortunately, because we humans are social animals, we tend to believe what people say about us. If you are beautiful, rich or a celebrity you are lauded and many start to believe they are better than everyone else and act accordingly. Conversely if you are treated like shit, you tend to believe it and have low self esteem etc. Sad but true.

[@union310]

I like your morals.

[@topher_512]

Nope!

[@CabalCadabraTv]

Idk if u have had the same experience but I’ve noticed the more money someone has n the longer they have had it the more well behaved in public they are.

[@thatgearguy]

I definitely think the excitement of having more money makes people act a bit silly. Then after a while the novely wears off..

[@CabalCadabraTv]

@@thatgearguy the funny thing about trying to use ur wealth to throw ur weight around is the same as using violence. U find out fast there’s always someone a lot wealthier just like there’s always someone more of a bad ass. So it’s always more enjoyable n a way better time to be nice n treat ppl with respect.

I reckon Wellard the DoG’s greasy owner. I always heard he was a bit of a dickhead.
