My Brother's interaction with Dennis...
This one's heavily edited but his words...

The time I met Dennis Rodman...a true story. I loved episode III of "The Last Dance". I thought I would share this story regardless after it aired, but you it was the perfect time after the Kamikaze moment.

I was working as the AM breakfast/lunch supervisor at Downtown DFW Hotel Restaurant. Dennis was in the restaurant the night before. At the time, Tim was our lead AM server. In anticipation of anyone ordering an adult beverage, Tim would set the bar up.
At the exact same time one of my bosses, was sitting down in an pretty important meeting with higher ups from THE Dallas Modern Art Museum. It was at a large community table, and there was one empty seat at the table....

Dennis "The Worm" Rodman entered from the hotel lobby walked right up to Tim and said , "Can you guys make Kamikaze shots?". To be honest, I never had made one or had one. Tim had that taken care of. Meanwhile there are still the normal duties in the restaurant. We quickly find out, Dennis needed someone to talk to, or he was going to walk right up to a guest and chat away.
Not long after his first Kamikaze shot, Dennis sees the meeting going on at the large table with one empty chair. He decides to join said meeting at the empty chair. He sits right next to the boss and chats him up. Not sure what the reps from the modern art museum thought.

Other things that occurred....He and I talked about his recent visit to North Korea.

He asked a businessman sitting at the bar, "You wanna do a kamikaze shot." Businessman replies, "Heck ya I'm going to do a Kamikaze shot with Dennis Rodman at 9 in the morning."
He made it rain for my busser
He loudly announced to my AM hostess - Something completely inappropriate.

He was a handful. Eventually, I walked him back to his hotel next door.
Definitely one of my most memorable moments at work. I hope I got most the facts right.
