Re: Big Texas drunk guy

Challenge Accepted! I am a big believer in second chances, I will give this man air time. Noah takes them all on the boat, we got two of them but only one of him. I want to hear what he has to say!

“Wes. No manners whatsoever. Didn’t your mama tell you not to talk bad about people or not to talk about them when they are not around to defend themselves. This is the big Texas drunk guy. I listen to your show all the time. Will tell it straight. Was I tipsy? hell ya.

However, I looked at it as if a celebrity was coming into town like when I was young and a concert was coming into town. I was going to party and have a good time.

It was an honor to meet you but obviously it wasn’t the same for you. You seem so nice on your shows yet you were very different when I met you. Every one at your show was super nice to me except one of the 2 I wanted to meet the most.

I told a ghost story that ended in me saying I believe in God with all my heart. All you heard was I was a 900 hundred pound bench presser.

Was I tipsy, yes. However if I was slurring incoherently why did everyone there give me some love at the end of my ghost story? Love your show. I know your were nervous for the live thing so I forgive you. Heard many great stories from those in the crowd. If you had given me a little more time when you got between Bob and I, I might have started nibbling on your ear. You going to bring me on your show so I can tell my side. Im just very inquisitive and want to know the truth.

I even have a very interesting theory on what sasquatch is. Im very mature and would never say anything bad to put down your show even though some people don’t feel the same. I will even repeat my ghost story if you want. Sincerely, big drunk guy from Texas”

    Although Wes doesn’t need my defense, or anything like that, I would like to say that I have met both Wes and Woody and was treated me pretty darned well. I enjoyed the time I had very much.

    Maybe you just got off on the “wrong foot” so-to-speak. (or “wrong Bigfoot”… 😉 )

    Sorry Big Old Drunk Guy from Texas, but NO ONE wants to be slobbered on…

    Slurred at…

    PUSHED around…

    Demanded from…

    BY Anyone, let alone a drunk stranger. And what kinda witness is that? Going to a venue drunk then hollering about being a Christian? Really?

    Why don’t you put yourself in Wes’ shoes? What if you were being pushed, yelled at, and demanded of? As my dear departed mother used to say,’ You catch more fly’s with honey than vinegar.” Duh!

    I love how annoying drunk people think they are the life of the party till someone has had it with their crap and says something lol hate to break it to you man… Wes was just say what everyone else was thinking lol I should know I’ve been that drunk guy before…time and place

  4. Denise F

    I give him props for hearing what Wes had to say about meeting him and reaching out, I’m afraid my first reaction would have been sliding down in my seat as low as I could go….not raising my hand and saying “that was me”. Lol

  5. Asheim

    I have had my share of run ins with drunks in my younger days none of which was pleasant. Not fun to be around! My hat off to Wes for giving him another chance.

  6. Joseph C

    Well, I’m with big drunk guy on this one. I to attended the evening show, and I also felt bad vibes as well. I caught them outside, and tried to make small talk, I was ignored. Started making small talk with Tony, he responded. Then Wes just got up, and walked inside. Tony, assumed they went for a reason, so he followed, but Tony did say bye. Ironic thing, it was only my son and I out there. You know that old saying amongst boys “Cock Block”, if I hadn’t done that I wouldn’t have got any personal time myself. I was so disappointed, next day I tried to unsubscribe.

      Don’t be upset Joseph. Give him a break for it being his first live event and he depended on someone out of state to put it together (I’m assuming, I know I shouldn’t but…..) Point is, that he is human and I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.

    • Asheim

      Joseph, Something I try to live by, don’t take things too personally and give someone the benefit of the doubt. There are so many things that we don’t know or see and can be so easy to miss judge. Wes is someone I look up to a lot. I think he has really earned our respect. We are all human and imperfect too.

    Why do people assume they should get personal time when “celebrities” do a show? Dont they think the celebs might be exhausted, talked out, stressed, etc? Those wanting personal time with the guest speakers should probably reach out to them ahead of time to ask, and explain why they’d like to talk to them. And definitely not be drunk. Have some respect for yourself and others. The jerks here are the ones who were embarrassed because they didn’t get the attention they wanted, not the guest speakers who were trying to be present for EVERYONE. Sheesh. Come on, man.

  8. Thomas J

    We are all human and being stressed is part of life. Dealing with drunks in public is a fact of life and not a fun one. The guy who was drinking was probably being annoying to a stressed person and of course feels he was disrespected. The situation is over and whoever feels butt hurt should get over it and move on. If they don’t they need their diaper changed.

  9. Michael S

    I’d love to hear his story, hope he’s drunk too… I agree with Asheim, you can’t take things too personal. If you do it borders on narcissism, “it’s all about ME!” People get exhausted, we are all human. Sometimes when we talk directly to people they will let you know if they are available to chat. Don’t assume they don’t care, or someone “cock blocked you,” or they can’t be bothered? That is your issue not theirs…

  10. Lee

    Hey Wes lets be honest the dude acted like an idiot and now wants more fame . My opinion sober up for the next conference drunk Texas guy and Wes may have a chat to you next time . Btw Wes if u ever wanna do a conference in Australia ie a yowie show with a tour of some hotspots u always welcome mate??

  11. Melissa K

    What? Pushy Drunk Guy gets air time with Wes? I should start drinking! (not) Ugh… And he is the Bee Gee Hater? Well, I suggest the song for the episode be “Don’t throw it all away our love…our love…”

  12. Denise F

    Wait, this guy isn’t the ‘Bee Gee’ guy!?
    I don’t think Wes would give the Bee Gee Hater the time of day….you can’t just mistreat the Bee Gees like that ?

  13. Gail C

    Yet another example of “It’s not MY responsibility. It’s Wes’ fault or his mother’s fault” for not raising Wes right. Unless ‘Big Texas Drunk Guy’ is 16 years old or younger, ACCEPT the personal responsibility for being an out-of-control drunk! If you want respect from others, EARN it. And grow the hell up!

  14. darren w

    Its an “event”. A few drunk people are to be expected. I don’t begrudge him one bit for tossin a few back and cutting loose a little. Most of us have been there a time or two – hell…I wouldn’t trust anyone who hasn’t gotten drunk in public and made a fool of themself at least once in their life. Hey, at least he wasn’t being a prick.
    However… people who are annoyed with the drunk guy are to be expected too. A person who had formerly worked as a bouncer at a night club for instance, might have little tolerance for drunk people…even if theye are loyal supporters of your business venture.

  15. Linda W

    Ha! He’s giving you the second chance! It would have been more understandable if he just sheepishly copped up to his drunken behavior, apologized, and asked for a second chance rather than trying to make his drunken annoying behavior seem like a normal fan behavior and that you wwre the one being an a&$.

  16. Lisa H

    God Bless u Wes for putting up with all this nonsense & carrying on reguardless of any negativity. i really appreciate this show & the truthful community surrounding Sasquatch Chronicles; you help many people that have nowhere else to share their experience. Wes u have made us loyal listeners so much more compassionate to others. thank u everyone for your genuine insights,i am forever grateful for this wonderful experience.

  17. Steve W

    ” You can please all of the people some of the time & some of the people all of the time but you can’t please ALL of the people All of the time ” Wes, you’re doing a great job. Thanks for your compassion, dedication and hard work.

  18. Chris B

    As a bartender of over 20 years…drunk people rarely figure out that it is THEY who are the problem. And they will also use words like “tipsy” to describe their state as opposed to more accurate words like “sloshed” or “hammered”.

    You all know the guy/gal who will say things like…”I only had one glass of wine…” …and then you see the wine glass and it looks more like a punch bowl.

    They will also confuse being given “love” at the end of their story with people who are simply grateful the drunk guy stopped talking and they could move on to a coherent person to take the floor.

    I wasn’t there…but i’ll take the word of sober Tony and Wes over some drunk fanboy.

    You’re a good man Wes…i’ll probably bow out of listening to this guy since I don’t want to feel like I’m at work. But you are obviously doing what you feel is right, and I respect you for it.

  19. Judy S

    Drunk guy…..apparently your mama didn’t tell you to respect folks in public……..these folks left their homes….spent their money and time to come to Texas to meet and greet folks….not to listen to an alcoholic.

  20. JON F

    Not sure how I feel about this one. If you want to be a “celebrity” then you take the good with the bad with grace. I mean hell you are charging people to be there right? That being said there are limits and decorum to be observed. Wes might be a super nice guy off the air or he may be a prick??‍♂️. I don’t know. I am not his neighbor or have any face to face with him on the regular. I pay a monthly fee to be able to post here, for extra content ( which IMHO has declined over the years in quantity) and to be entertained. And if I paid for a meet and greet I would expect just that. Nothing more nothing less.??‍♂️

    It’s always best to make friends out of a complicated situation then it is to make enemies. No one got hurt, no one went to the hospital or jail. Just call it even and move on in a friendly mood from both sides. ps: This was not a rock concert. It was a small meeting. Drink there or afterward with getting together with other meet & greet attendees!?/? There was no need to get “? ??“ and make a ? out of ourselves. Not saying it happen, just saying it’s something we all need to avoid! Well then, I’m ready for a couple pitchers of ? myself and go on the SC blog! Kiddin! ✌️

  22. Rodney P

    Wes when I posted that you should get the drunk obnoxious guy on the show I was just kidding. But it shows how much of an understanding person you are to give him a second chance and a opportunity to be on the show. This ought to be good.

  23. Carl W

    Ummm….No. I see no remorse or humility in this guy’s message for what’s at best poor judgement and inappropriate behavior. Just excuse making and blaming the guy trying to make a living for not being “understanding”. If “partying and having a good time” comes at the expense of being respectful of others, the dude has a problem and I wouldn’t have put up with it either.

  24. Lynne M

    Remember the Alamo ! In defense of The Big Texas Drunk Guy.. there was some nervousness there… Texans are notoriously friendly… And big ole men are everyone’s friend
