cut it out

Hey thanks for doing this AMA! I was hoping you could shed some light on an experience I had around the mid 2000's. While I was out on vacation with my family at the Outerbanks North Carolina A big old man living in Elizabeth City came up to my mom and aunt and introduced himself as "Odey Betts" and claimed to be Dickey Betts' cousin. He also claimed to be the band bus driver when they were on tour. He had all kinds of crazy tour stories such as picking up Billy Joel when he was hitch-hiking and hanging out with one of the Eagles walking aorund with a toilet paper roll with the original "Hotel California" lyrics written on it. Anyway he was quite the charismatic character and would come over and eat all of our food. My family has wondered all these years if he was telling the truth or if he was just some scammer trying to name drop for some free meals. Have you ever heard of this character? Thanks.

When I met him 10 years ago he didn't have a beard and he resembled Ron White.

He would show up to our rented cottage around dinnertime everyday and we think he was trying to hookup with my aunt.

We even made up a song about him which is sang to the opening line of the jamaican "Banana Talleyman" song.

Ooooooooooooooodey. Here comes OOOooodey. Odey come and he won't go home.
