They seem down to earth, considering.

While they did not show it clearly, this painting is hanging in his house!

My friends work in the service industry out by this property and have run into him several times working events and I cannot...CANNOT... stress with mere words how amazing of a person he is. They all have personal, unique stories about how he is simply one of the greatest people they've crossed on the job, celebrity or not.

Funny how tiny he looks at 1:11

Edit so I'm not posting too much in a thread. In case anyone took him remotely seriously about retiring (as I did for a millisecond):

Roman vomitoriums aren't really what people think they are. Vomitoriums were simply the major hallways/passages through which visitor traffic was routed - literally the paths by which the building would spew (vomit) its guests.
