I love hearing when a celebrity is still a decent person and didn't let the craziness of fame ruin their humanity!

[@kellidinit3725]

Me too. Sometimes when I hear they were rude, I understand too, because nobody can be nice 24/7.

[@marigold7250]

The story about Elliot Smith was especially touching, sounds like you had a nice connection with him. Great job as always Jordan!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DerekHatesMusic]

I've met Jeff Ross before! He was at this small bar. He was in town for roast of the border wall. Word had gotten out and a small crowd showed up. This dude, I guess his handler, lined everyone up who wanted to take pics with him. Now that I think about it, I guess the bar assigned him as it was happening for his and crowd safety. My comedian friends were doing a small, unticketed show and they asked him if he would do a quick set (they couldnt pay him anything) and he was like "YEAH! That sounds fun! Let's do it!" One of the nicest guys out there.

[@erinsuggettphotography1425]

I met Tommy Lasorda at a Chevron gas station in Fullerton (where he lived for years in Orange County) in the mid-90's. HE approached ME! I was filling up my security patrol unit, and I didn't even know he was there. I heard, "How ya doin' tonight, Sarge?" I was a Sergeant. I turned around and immediately recognized him standing next to his black Jaguar. He came over to me and wanted to know about my K9. I had a 90-pound German Shepherd named Ruger. I opened the back door to my unit, and Ruger had his tennis ball in his mouth, wagging his tail, and Tommy asked if he could play ball with him! I said sure, but don't throw the ball away from him (there was traffic around). I told him he could throw the ball at him because Ruger loved to try and stop the ball. Tommy did that for about 10-15 minutes! I had to STOP him! LOL! Tommy couldn't get the ball past Ruger! Tommy told me that Ruger was better than his short stops and asked me if he could recruit him for his team (yes, the Dodgers)! I playfully declined with a laugh. But what an experience that was! My dog played ball with Tommy Lasorda in the middle of the night at a gas station! We didn't have cell phone cameras back then. But that memory will forever be etched in my mind. RIP, Tommy...and Ruger. ❤❤

[@TinCupChalice40]

Jordan, you are so personable and likable. I can’t understand why with your interactions with Hollywood they didn’t grab you and make you a star because you have all the qualities.

[@BIGGER_RED]

Right?!? I agree

[@brendawhite7419]

Totally agree!!!

[@michaelross43]

Jordan I've been going through radiation for liver cancer I really appreciate the great vedios you post daily...

[@andywinslow9638]

Some of my favorite celebrities to meet are Wayne Newton, Sally Field, Jamie Farr, John Waters, the late Rue McClanahan, Sandra Day O'Connor and The original Willy Wonka cast. The worst one was Lou Ferregno.

[@kellidinit3725]

My list is pretty small, living in Ohio, but Huey Lewis was extremely nice, John Cougar (at the time he was still going by that) was a complete a$$hole and was cheating on his wife at the time, Chubby Checker was genuinely an absolute joy to meet. I’ve met others, but they were just brief autograph sessions and those are hard to get a feel. I worked for a record distributor at the time. Never met, but worked at an answering service that answered for some celebrities and Belkin productions, so Kasey Kasem was really a genuinely sweetheart of a man. We answered his private line. He would ask about my son and I really can’t speak highly enough about him. Talked to Robert Plant, Jon Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar and several others, but those were for Belkin and we had to keep it professional and not gush. All were perfectly nice though. None were rude.

[@Luvoldmovies-Kat.St.Aug.]

Good to know Drew is really that nice 😊. I watch him practically every day on The Price is Right 📺. 🐊

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I met a girl at the dog park one time that said she was his best friend.. she said he is one of the nicest people in the world

[@Luvoldmovies-Kat.St.Aug.]

I watched your Volgs when you lived in Calf. And would take JAH for walks to the dog park 🐶. 🐊

[@VinKohl]

Jordan, you're a good positive trustworthy person, so naturally people feel comfortable around you. I'm not surprised somebody like Elliot Smith opened up to you like that. Amazing stories, you're kicking ass at truly living life to the fullest!

[@bosstime2010]

I met Drew Carey in Vegas at the Hard Rock. He was just sitting on a bench and I noticed him when I walked by. I stopped to say hello and he was super friendly.

[@kandicejanusz1829]

Paul Stanley sounds awesome. Thanks Jordan. Skylar just saw the picture of you and Elliot Smith (sad story) and she didn't recognize you. She kept saying "Jordans hair is long, I don't recognize him"

[@outsider238]

Love these stories of your encounters with celebrities. I've met a few myself and you never know what you're going to get.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

speaking of Drew Carey, a good friend of mine went to high school with Kathy Kinney, Mimi on the Drew Carey show. he said she wasn't very nice unfortunately. at least back then

[@robinbewley9096]

great video...I've heard Paul ( Stanley).. is a nice guy..u just confirmed..my brother was a great fan of KISS...me, not so much..Paul is a survivor of cancer too

[@JACOBSJohn818]

Met Paul at Kiss Konvention Schaumburg ,Illinois 1995 . After band played their set there was a meet and greet and autograph signing. Went up to Paul's booth. He was alright. He acknowledged me when got his autograph which i appreciated. Wished i would of had more to say to him but i as a big fan was completely star struck and was at a loss for words.

[@kellidinit3725]

In those meet and greets it’s a little hard for them to do much more than that. I give celebs a pass on those, because usually they have already done 50 of them and it’s got to be draining. I much prefer the chance meeting stories. Gives you a better idea of how they are.

[@debbiejones3911]

Most of your encounters have been very positive which is nice to hear. I think you have a very friendly face so people open up to you. I always liked Drew Carey. Used to go see him at a comedy club in Cleveland back in the 80's before he became really famous.

[@rosebrodrick4764]

Love the hat too!! Your style of talking is so friendly like we are there with you. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you so much

[@williamcohen2447]

Thanks for sharing the good & bad of your experience of meeting celebrities

[@serenadevon]

My family used to love when Dodgers & Yankees would play! Between Billy Martin & Tommy Lasorda y'all were in for awesome fireworks!!😂

[@JoeFromJoplinMO]

Your story about Elliott Smith was touching. Thank you for sharing your special time with him. On the other hand, the Tommy Lasorda tales cracked me up. I am about to watch your Elliott video. Much love, Jordan.-Joe from Joplin, MO.

[@frankzappa2274]

Hey thanks for sharing your story about Elliott Smith. Your earlier videos about Elliot really shared some very very interesting insight as well. I tend to agree with you something is not right about what happened to him and I understand how hard it is for you to talk about it so thanks again for sharing.

[@RebeccaGreen-jt3qk]

So cool hearing about all the interactions you had with so many celebs. Thank you for telling us such amazing stories from your past.❤

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

Jordan, when I watch your videos I see a person with a joyful soul who sees the good in the world. To me, you come across as a genuine, good-natured fun human being. You really make your audience feel like they are just hanging out with their good friend Jordan, and going on many adventures across the country. Your Drew Carey experience really resonated with me. I can really see how much energy you put into this wonderful channel... it shows.

[@kateschroth3304]

I agree! Jordan is the real deal. He is very genuine and makes you feel like you are hanging out with him as if he is a friend of yours.

[@MutedGrowl]

But he needs to loose that goofy hat

[@williamfarley8434]

Thanks Jordan for the video. I didn't know much about Elliott Smith but I spent a good part of the morning listening to his music. I'm simply blown away!

[@pandap4ntz]

He was an amazing and super talented musician, his lyrics are some of the greatest ever written, imo, he was a true poet. He really had a gift. I wish he was still with us. It's exciting to read thru these comments and hear about all the folks who are now listening to him for the first time. I hate to be the person who says something cliche, but Elliott's music has saved my life more than once back when I was in a very low place, and for that I'll always be grateful.

[@sevenrivers]

Wow, great stories again. That last one though, the Elliott Smith stories, those pulled at the heart, I felt that.

[@seattlescofflaws]

Really appreciated you relaying your conversation with Elliott. He spent some time in Seattle before he died and I remember reading about where people saw him around town.

[@alancumming6407]

Another great vlog - Jordan, each encounter was thoroughly entertaining - however, your final reminiscence of Elliott Smith was heartbreakingly beautiful. Many thanks.

[@elvisfan61]

Another great video. I especially liked the Paul Stanley story (and I'm not even a fan) and that you got to video tape him. I was touched by the Elliott Smith story. All of the stories were interesting. Keep 'em coming!

[@kellidinit3725]

Wasn’t a kiss fan myself, but always liked Paul Stanley.

[@dporter2112]

Hey Jordan- Love your channel. Here's how you come across 🙂- As one of the nicest and most laid back people around. Your story telling is amazing and it really makes you feel like your there. Great stuff

[@Secondwindoregon]

I met Tommy Lasorda in a Marie Callendars restaurant in 1981 right after they won the World Series. He was soooo nice! Had me sit down and introduced me to his friend. He had the waitress bring a paper placemat so he could autograph it for me and everything. He had the whole restaurant in stitches and everybody loved him. I wonder what happened later that made him change?

[@MutedGrowl]

Tommy lost his son in the late 90s, sadly some parents are never are the same after a loss of a child.

[@moniquedeitz4356]

Thanks so much, Jordan, for putting your heart into relating to us these celebrity encounters. Your perspective on each person was most enjoyable, including the people I was not familiar with. I'm up for additional reminiscences if you feel like doing them. Best of everything to you!

[@TheTammy1122]

My brother loves Tommy Lasorta. He would have loved to meet him. He tried to get his friend to get his autograph. He seems to have a bad attitude though. I love Drew Carey, my mom passed away from cancer and she really him loved him on Who's Line Is It Anyway. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@gloriabarden5752]

Jeff Ross was super sweet & genuine when I met him. I was a littler nervous, not going to lie but he could not have been more down to earth and NICE!! 👍🏻

[@StardustSerenade77]

Thank you for sharing your experiences and memories with celebrities. You're such a cool and kind young man, Jordan.

[@40Bethy]

Love hearing your celebrity stories 😊 thanks for sharing!

[@sonofhawaii4227]

I love hearing about your encounters with so many celebrities. We don’t get to see too many celebrities out here in Hawaii except when they’re here to film movies or on vacation. I’ve met Adam Sandler on a couple of occasions and he was absolutely awesome! He loves to be amongst “regular” folks when he’s here.

[@AvocatDude]

Really enjoyed this video. The stories are amazing and the way that you just happen to connect with these different celebrities says a lot about you to be honest. Life is too short to go through it angry and treating people negatively.

[@karenleemallonee684]

Jordan, these stories are so fascinating, thank you for sharing them with us!!! 👍👍 Papaw 🙏

[@swansfan6944]

Great stories again Jordan. As for that baseball ⚾️ man, there is no excuse for being rude. Like you said, he could have eaten before he went there besides get your own food. Becoming famous shouldn’t mean becoming useless. ❤️ Jodie 🇦🇺

[@sherylrodgers7873]

I always liked Paul Stanley- just a super nice guy. That’s great all the people you have met. Great hat- thanks Jordan

[@janineshaner1107]

I could listen to you tell these stories all day! Thank you so much for sharing with us all.

[@alisonclose344]

Love that you have had so many positive experiences with people!

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

You hit it out of the ballpark with this episode Jordan! You've shared with your viewers you are trying to figure out which direction to go with your vlogs ( career ) This episode might just be the answer! ... Your GIFT is storytelling! - combine that with your heart of a Lion. Make a documentary! Not about the place or the thing but about the PERSON - Like Elliott Page or Sparkle Horse or Gram Parsons. Before hearing about these people from you - I had never known about them and now I want to know more. And if you make enough money on a documentary about Elliott Page - in his honor create a nonprofit for abused children. **Another GREAT Vlog by Daze with Jordan the Lion 🦁

[@darylturcott]

Always fun to hear your show business stories.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

My FAVORITE Jordan videos.......Thanks !

[@user-jo9uc6gi5f]

Jordan you are such a positive upbeat person I lost my husband at the first of this year and watching your videos make my day I am also trying to decide what to do with my life. Sherry

[@veedejames721]

Thanks Jordan.👍 Love hesring your stories as much as your vlogs and the places you take us. We apperciate your honesty, for just being real. I admit i look for a vlog daily. I know that may not always be possible, so i go back and watch my favorite vlogs. We do appreciate you. You do make a lot of us feel better when we have had a hard day. When you are excited about something, we get excited too, that's why i enjoy your vlogs so much. We all love Jah, your pappaw. It's like watching a friend and enjoying a good time. I love positive people. I tell people it's so easy to just love people. I treat people as i wish to be treated. Yeah some can be cruel, have negative attitudes. I just smile and move on. So again thank you. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee.✌️🕯️💕🦋🌻🤗🙂👋👣.

[@Karenswalk1207]

That was a lot of fun! Thank you for sharing.

[@patriciatennery3021]

You did a great job with this video, as usual, but Some (one) was really special to me. Thanks. ❤

[@Irishlen64]

I was really happy to see Mr. Stanley as you described him. I'm a long time Kiss fan.

[@samsheneman3071]

Thank you for everything you're a good person

Big love Jordan from all your fans here in the U.K

[@wendyobrien2843]

This was great. There's always that one in the bunch....Tony the hungry one!? Geez! His behavior doesn't surprise me. Glad he was nice to the kids. Love hearing how truly nice the other people were to you regardless of the situation. Awesome. Thanks Jordan.

[@travisputnam768]

I enjoy all of your videos! Keep up the great work.

[@maggiebarrier612]

Great vlog Jordan. So interesting to hear your perspective !

[@ccmcgee9062]

Jeff Ross is a really cool dude in person. Love that guy!

[@maripeti4036]

Another great one! Love hearing all the back stories to your celebrity meetings!! I could listen to these for a while, so interesting!! Wonderful to be able to meet and be inspired by others for so many reasons. Thank you, for sharing your stories, always very interesting! I am sorry to say I haven't heard the music of Elliott Smith, but will soon! I am sorry to hear his genius didn't get to be told to the masses, but hopefully through your Vlog, and listening to his music, and finding out about his foundation, what a wonderful thing he did and is doing for others that he suffered from. Very unselfish person, for sure! Thank you for sharing your stories. Wonderful!!

[@Bea-td2ev]

What's the make and model of that awesome hat, Jordan? I love it and want one. 😎 ETA: Love the Paul Stanley story. 👍

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

I find your videos so endlessly fascinating. You have a great gift, Jordan. Thank you for all you do and please keep these up for many, many years.

[@TheMocao]

Great vlog! You radiate such positivity that draws a lot of people to you. As for Elliot Smith, I think you’re not the only one who believes his death was suspicious - it’s still an open case with the police.

[@Caesarville]

Jordan what a great show. Loved every minute of it ❤

Hey Jordan! I love these celebrity encounter videos you've done. I see that you were home for this video. Do you think you might be able to do a home update? You've been so many places in the past couple of years and it would be great to see what treasures you've collected and how you are displaying them. Have a great night, my friend.

[@dennydude3737]

Im not shocked by Lasorda. Lol. He never was a chipper fella. At least he knew the kids were mostly authentic and weren't trying to make money off his name for a autograph & such.

[@kaymad143]

I am glad you met some nice people; you deserve it! As for Eliot, that is a very sad story, you gave him a chance to talk about his real feelings and that is probably what he needed at that time. However, he passed, he is now free of pain, he may have helped others too. Thank you for telling us about the stars you met. RIP Eliot

[@pandap4ntz]

Your Elliott story is so cool, thank you so much for sharing it! I wish Elliott coulda known how awesome he was, his music is top tier and he totally deserved every penny he made (plus some). But that's part of why I love Elliott so much, he was a humble dude, maybe too humble for fame. I know he was feeling conflicted about his fame and how he fit into it all, I know he always felt like his fellow musician friends were just as deserving as the same level of fame that he had attained, and that bothered him. I realize when people are stuck in dark places that it's hard to convince them to see the light, but I really wish Elliott coulda believed in everyone who ever told him that he was worthy. The music scene needed (and still needs) more humble folks like Elliott. It sounds like he had a lotta great ideas for how to use his talents for charitable causes. If he was able to get himself into a healthy mental space I fully believe he'd be doing amazing things if he was still with us. I don't wanna delve into the drama of his death, but I do wanna say that I wish his death was examined much more closely.

[@laurie5098]

I like these videos about your experiences with celebrities. It gives us some insight to how they really are.

I saw Elliot here in Chicago at The Metro...He was great to me.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

I listen to Elliot smith almost every week. I play one of his songs on guitar too, Waltz #2.

[@martintimothy1915]

Yeah .. after taking a flight from Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory I was directed into a departure lounge at Sydney airport to await a connection to Brisbane, one other bloke was there a fellow about my age, size and shape, he was looking straight at me and in the spirit of traveller's bonhomie I said "hiya mate" .. he pulled a face. I mouthed a suitable repy and left it at that, he took a connecting flight to Coolangatta, whereas on the evening news that night came a story George Harrison had flown into that place, on his way to Murwillumbah in Northern NSW to attend a Hare Krishna festival, they showed footage and I recognized him as the dude who had been rude at Sydney airport. If it is any consolation to anyone celebs are said to be equally offensive toward each other .. in Sydney another time there was a dude carrying a guitar case prancing up the street in his elevator shoes, just from the way he looked I knew he was a top line player. He was coming up the other side of the street, when the lights changed I crossed over and was virtually face to face with Albert Lee who was Eric C's rhythm man for a substantial time, he scowled at me .. both incidents put me off of celebrities for good.
