Ever wondered if a city could reveal a hidden side of you? My Nashville adventure opened up a whole new chapter of self-discovery, filled with energetic nights and unexpected encounters. Celebrating a year of hosting The LNBE Podcast, I take you through a whirlwind bachelor party weekend in "Nash Vegas." From dancing the nights away while staying sober to a TSA encounter at JFK, this episode is packed with stories that highlight the vibrant spirit of Music City.
As the laughter fades, my frustration with the Buffalo Bills and the NFL's questionable calls comes to the forefront. Wrapping up with a cheeky nod to a DraftKings bar promo, this episode blends personal tales with a splash of sports chatter, promising both humor and insight.

Mike (00:10):
all right, what's going on ?
Everybody, welcome back.
Thank you for tuning in toepisode 55 of The LNBE podcast,
where LNBE stands for literallynothing but everything.
I'm mike rispoli and I'm justrealizing that it's now been a
year of me doing this.
So hopefully, if you guys havestuck it out with me for a year,
you guys see the improvement.
If not, go, fuck yourselves.
(00:31):
No, I'm kidding, all right.
So first things first, I want tosay that I'm sorry that I
didn't put an episode out onTuesday.
I know I said I was going to,but, as you know, I went down to
Nashville, tennessee, becauseof my buddy's bachelor party and
I had all intentions of doing aTuesday episode to give you
(00:53):
guys updates on it.
But when I got off that plane Iwas fucking exhausted.
I mean, I pretty much did notsleep for four nights and
actually I got on the plane Iwas like do I even want to go
back?
Dude, nashville is a fuckingtime.
Nash Vegas, baby.
(01:13):
If anybody is planning a tripNow, this is coming from my own
experience so do what you want.
But if you guys are tornbetween going to Nashville or
going to Vegas, 100% go toNashville every day of the week,
because Nashville is just afriggin' blast.
I remember when I went to VegasI went for, I want to say, four
(01:33):
nights, just like I did forNashville, and I remember about
two nights in I was kind ofsettling in to what it was going
to be and I was just like thisis going to be a long fucking
weekend.
Nashville, on the other hand, Iwas just like this place rocks,
even during their quote-unquotelike slow season.
(01:55):
I thought it was a grand oldtime.
The vibe of Nashville is justunlike anything I've ever seen.
It truly is like a party city.
I mean, granted, it's bar afterbar, especially if you're on
Broadway.
If anybody's been to Nashville,you guys know where Broadway is
.
It is just it's live music.
(02:18):
There's plenty of stuff to do.
I am already trying to think ofwhen I'm going to plan my trip
back, because I really did justenjoy my time there.
It was the most fun that I hadhad in years.
It was also a great group ofguys that we went with.
So, yeah, man, like, if you'reeven if it's not for a bachelor
party or a bachelorette partyget a like couple your friends
(02:41):
and just go down, have some fun,kind of let wild.
I mean, I've gone on thispodcast and stated how many
times that I am not a dancer andI was up on that dance floor
every freaking night I mean meof all freaking people, I don't
know man, it just broughtsomething out of me.
(03:01):
It was just like I was downthere and I was down there to
have fucking fun and I achievedthat goal.
You only dance because you wereabsolutely hammered.
You liar, coming on thispodcast saying that you don't
drink and you go down tonashville and party it up.
No, I was actually dead asssober.
(03:22):
Granted, there were.
It was very tempting.
I'm not going to sit here andtell you that it wasn't,
especially since I was there fora bachelor party.
Everybody else in the group wasdrinking, I was not, and that
first night was really thehardest night, honestly, and
everybody was drinking.
I kind of felt like I was theodd man out.
(03:43):
And there was a point where Iwas just like, do I just order
myself a drink?
And my buddy next to me wasjust like no man, don't do it,
you're going to regret it.
It's not worth it.
You've already gone this long.
Why would you want to breakyour streak just because of
something like this, and he wasabsolutely right.
I don't regret not drinking atall.
I still had a friggin blast.
(04:04):
I actually still think I hadmore fun because I was sober
than if I went out there and Ijust got totally blitzed.
I mean, we were out every night.
We probably hit 20 to 30 barsthroughout the whole weekend.
It was a friggin wild time.
I had a blast weekend.
(04:27):
It was a friggin wild time.
I had a blast, all right.
So what did you do?
What made it so fun?
All right.
So first of all, let me take youkind of through this trip.
So we go out of jfk and I gotpatted down going through tsa.
They wanted to check my hat,like all right, fine, guess, the
x-ray machine isn't doing itsjob.
But meanwhile, two guys aheadof me, there was a dude,
definitely of middle easterndescent, and he cruises through
(04:49):
like a fat person on a slip andslide and I'm just like, why
didn't his turban get checked?
Not to be that guy?
I didn't think he had anythingon him, but I'm just like dude,
we all remember how the pantsbomber went and I don't know
about you, but I would muchrather lose the head between my
shoulders than the head betweenmy legs, like I don't know where
else.
Do you think he's gonna hidehis shit?
(05:11):
Sorry, but like, who the fucklikes getting patted down at the
airport?
And of all the people me, likeno offense to that guy, but
you're patting down me, thewhitest of the white guys, like
come on.
The whitest of the white guys,like come on.
Oh my god, could you imagine ifthere was a tsa agent who might
have known osama before he goton that plane?
(05:31):
Like hey, osama, is that a gunin your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
Well, funny, you should ask.
By the way, you a virgin, don'tmove, I'll see you in a bit.
Oh, I'm sorry, guys, but we getdown there.
Um, we get to our airbnb, whichis actually right above a bar
(05:51):
and it was right on broadway.
It was perfect.
It was perfect walking distancefrom everywhere that we wanted
to go, except for, like, ourdaytime excursions.
Um, so the first night we justkind of grabbed dinner and then
we just walked around just tokind of scope out like what the
scene was going to be like andall that stuff.
Um, but I did the one thing thatI never thought I would ever do
(06:13):
down there we booked, uh, uh,go into a gun range because, uh,
the guys in the bachelor partyand my friends are all into or I
wouldn't say that they're intoguns.
I don't want to make them soundlike gun nuts, um, but they all
have guns and they all like togo shooting and stuff.
That was something that I hadnever done.
And they start me out with afull automatic MP5.
(06:37):
And I'm like this is thefrigging gun that I'm going to
pop my gun shooting cherry with.
All right friggin do it.
And it was actually a loteasier than I thought it was
gonna be.
Um, so shot that full automatic,whatever it is.
I don't know if it's a rifle,it's a machine gun, I don't
fucking know.
I'm not a gun person.
(06:58):
But they all had a blast withit because obviously, the only
time you could shoot a fullautomatic is at a gun range,
unless you're also in a school,ao, um.
But then I also shot a 22 and Ithought it was interesting
because the 22 was a lot harderto shoot than the full automatic
(07:19):
.
It was a lot more um kickbackthan the full automatic and it
was also a little bit harder tohandle because, like you, had to
do a certain grip.
I don't know, I'm not a gunperson, I shot both guns and I
was just like all right, youguys have fun with all the rest
of the ammo, because this isjust not my thing.
(07:40):
But it was funny because Iremember the instructor was just
like and remember, if thetarget's talking, it ain't a
target.
And I'm just like, well, Iguess it depends on who's
speaking.
And after we left, one of mybuddies down there was just like
dude, you didn't feel a rushwhen you shot it.
I'm like I don't know, man, Ikind of get a better rush when I
punch somebody in the face, butthat's me.
(08:01):
So, um, that was more for themin the bachelor than it was for
me, but we did it because helikes it.
Gotta do what the bachelorwants.
And then the other daytimeexcursion that we did was
curling.
And we did some daytimeexcursions just because we
couldn't spend our whole frigginfour days at bars, like that
would have just been way toomuch.
(08:21):
And I got to say curling, youmake fun of it on TV because
they look so fucking stupid withthose brooms.
It is way harder than you wouldhave ever thought.
I'm not going to lie.
I fucking wiped out my firsttime.
Did I post that on Insta orsocial?
No, because I'm not going to goout and embarrass myself.
Did I maybe post a video of theBachelor wiping out?
(08:42):
Absolutely and no, honestly,neither one of us wiped out
because we're on ice.
You're like, oh, it's ice, ofcourse it's slippery.
No, no, no, done it before.
Is there's a little wedge thingthat they put behind you that
you rest your dominant foot on?
And it's kind of like if you'rewearing heels and your foot is
(09:06):
arched like, imagine that soyou're in like a three-point
stance.
Essentially one foot is on this, on this block, and that's what
you use to push off.
Then on your left side you'vegot this holder thing to keep
you steady, and the woman whowas explaining it was like yeah,
you want to put at least 40 ofyour body weight on that holder
(09:29):
so you don't freaking killyourself.
And um, on the on your leftfoot or your non-dominant foot,
I'm right-handed.
So on your non-dominant foot,I'm right-handed.
So on your non-dominant foot,you put this slider thing so you
could slide on the ice, becausethere's booties that go on your
feet so you don't just slip onthe ice right when you step on
it and I'm like explaining this,looking at my feet and shit, as
(09:52):
if you can see it, buthopefully you can imagine this.
So you kick off with yourdominant foot, but when you kick
off, that slider thing on yournon-dominant foot just also
wants to freaking go.
So if your first time, it's justreally kind of awkward and
(10:13):
that's what made me and my buddyjust totally wipe out.
I actually didn't fall, fall,but I just did an overextended
plank, um, but after like two orthree tries all of us kind of
got the hang of it.
I do kind of wish we did it fora little bit longer, because we
all started kind of getting ina groove and we were just like
(10:34):
dude, like let, like, let'sfucking go.
The easiest way for me toexplain it is like if you've
ever played shuffleboard, it'sshuffleboard on ice.
It is really fun.
It is honestly something I wishI kind of had around here,
because now it's just somethingI'm just like geez, this is
actually more fun than bowlingor some other stupid indoor
sport.
(10:55):
So yeah, gun range curling, andthen during nighttime we hit
the bars and I don't know if Imentioned this earlier, but we
definitely hit like 20 to 30bars.
Um, some of my favorite barsdown there.
I really liked old red.
That's a Blake Shelton's bar.
I thought that they had thebest PA system.
(11:16):
Between Ol' Red and MorganWallen, I thought they had the
best PA system.
The music just sounded great.
Both of the bands who I sawperforming there were awesome.
Oh, but you know what I willsay speaking of Morgan Wallen's
bar.
That freaking bar had at least10 to 12 floors.
I have no idea how big thisplace was.
Every single floor had adifferent band playing and that
(11:39):
was actually how most of thebars set up in Nashville were.
But the easiest way to get upand down to these floors were
the stairs and with the amountof stairs there were, it made me
think why the hell are there somany fat fucks in the south if
they got to keep going up anddown however many flights of
stairs?
My god, we went to the rooftopto every bar just because why
(12:01):
the hell not?
And half of the time I was outof freaking breath and I like to
think I'm in pretty goodfreaking shape here, all right.
Um, I really liked pbr for allof the wrong reasons.
When we went, pbr wasabsolutely dead, but that was
where the mechanical bull wasand obviously we had to throw
(12:23):
the bachelor on there.
I mean, just frigging hammerdrunk.
We're just like, yeah, get upon there.
He actually did a lot betterthan I think any of us expected
him to.
Um, he actually fell kind ofgracefully, so that kind of
helped things.
But, um, the women there wereall just ridiculously attractive
and then their uniform was justassless chaps.
(12:47):
One of the bartenders and Iposted this on my Instagram and
TikTok because the bar wasactually so dead.
She just went on just topractice.
And we got there at the righttime, let me tell you, because
we were just like, oh, my God,hey, yo, I got something you
could ride.
Honestly, I wonder how manydrunk idiots have gone up to a
(13:10):
woman on one of those mechanicalbulls and said that exact line.
I mean, I didn't say it to her,but I'd be lying if I told you
that I wasn't thinking it.
So PBR was really cool.
If you're a guy, you're going toreally like it, or at least, if
you're a straight guy, you'rereally going to like it.
But that's the bar that I endedup getting proposed to.
So, to tell you that story?
(13:31):
Nothing really crazy, honestly.
Just I saw a woman who was partof a bridal shower so I went up
to her.
I was like, oh, you guys partof a bridal shower, we're part
of a bachelor party and I guesspart of their whole thing of the
group is because this woman wasjust flashing me this card.
I'm like all right, what thefuck is this card?
She's like we all have to do adare.
(13:54):
I'm like all right, well,what's your dare?
And she's like I have topropose to somebody.
Can I propose to you?
I would be honored.
So she ends up proposing to me.
Too bad, I just got to tell herhusband Girl had a rock on her
finger.
Oh, and speaking of women, therewas this group of Australian
women that we met up with andSaturday night we were hanging
(14:19):
out with them because we metthem at a bar that was kind of
dead, and then they were justlike, oh, where are you guys
going to go to next?
So we all just kind of migratedover to the next bar and
chatting up, having a little fun, whatever.
I ended up getting her one ofthe girls numbers and the next
day they were doing like theirday excursions.
(14:40):
And then she texted me laterthat night like, hey, let's hang
out.
I'm like, all right, let's hangout.
So I'm out at one of the barswith my friends, they meet up
with us and, uh, at one of thebars we're dancing, we're
singing, we're moving to thegrooving and she turns around
(15:00):
and she goes.
You know, what would be reallyfun is if we go and wake up your
roommates, because some of themtapped out early, fucking
squares.
And I'm like I know what that'scode for.
And now I know what you guysare all thinking Were you able
to come from a land down under?
Well, I fucking would have ifthe plane could have gotten off
(15:20):
the runway, because we'restanding in front of our airbnb
and she goes over to her friendsand her friend just goes.
If you go up there, I'm gonnabe so pissed and that was the
end of that.
So I get it, though I was upsetjust because I'm also just like
(15:42):
when the hell was I ever goingto have this opportunity again?
But I totally get it because atthe same point, this would be a
woman going into a stranger'sAirbnb that would also have five
other dudes in it.
In all honesty, her friend wasactually being a good friend
because she was also probablyjust thinking God knows what
(16:02):
could also happen up there.
So I totally understand, butthe cock block still hurts Also
something that I would just liketo put out there.
She was also completely soberwhen she was going to make this
decision.
I bought her one drink.
That was the only drink thatshe had had all night while we
(16:24):
were hanging out, because I canalready see some of the comments
or commentary that some of youmight make and I'm just gonna
shoot that shit down and justlike dancing.
It also went to show that Idon't need alcohol to also get
women.
I can get by on my sparklingpersonality.
I don't know, man.
(16:45):
Like there was something aboutbeing down there where it just
really kind of proved to myselfcertain things and also allowed
me to realize that whatever washindering me whether it was
talking to women or dancing thatit really was just all in my
head.
You just got to fucking go doit.
But, unlike me, you know whodid get fucked?
(17:05):
The Buffalo Bills.
That's right.
You didn't think I was going totalk a little bit about this.
I actually didn't watch the gamebecause I knew exactly what was
going to happen.
Also, it doesn't help the factthat I was exhausted and I fell
asleep at halftime, but the poorbills must be the frigging most
cursed team in the NFL.
(17:27):
Um, from what I did see, I evenposted this on threads.
Not that anybody sees itbecause I have no fricking
following, um, but from what Idid see I posted on threads.
I was like why in the hell isthe Chiefs offense even on the
field when the refs just movedthe ball for them?
(17:48):
I didn't fully watch the gameand I gotta be honest, in that
first quarter, from what I doremember seeing, it looked like
Josh Allen almost threw twopicks right out of the gate.
He threw two really bad balls.
So you got to give credit tothe Chiefs defense because they
were able to kind of shut theBills down in the beginning of
the game.
I obviously didn't see whathappened later on because it
(18:10):
ended up being a high scoringaffair.
But Josh Allen had two firstdowns or no, not Josh Allen.
Josh Allen had one first down.
I don not Josh Allen.
Josh Allen had one first down.
I don't know who had the ball.
Oh, kincaid.
Kincaid had the other firstdown.
Both got called back.
So, like everybody else issaying I'm going to say the same
thing.
That was absolute bullshit.
Those should have been easyfirst downs.
(18:33):
And then that last play, thatfourth and three play, where
Allen just throws like a 40-yardbomb to I don't remember if it
was Kincaid or Knox, one of thetight ends.
Everybody's saying that heshould have made that catch.
I don't know man.
He's running full speed acrossthe field.
(18:54):
Allen throws up a Hail Maryball field.
Allen throws up a Hail Maryball.
Whoever it was if it was Knoxor Kincaid is running across the
field full sprint, has toadjust his body to come back
towards the ball and he missedit.
Now, granted, he got both handson the ball, so the rules say
both hands on the ball, you makethe catch.
(19:14):
But that is also a verydifficult catch.
Now, would that play need tohave been made if the Bills get
those two first down calls?
I don't think so and I'm goingto continuously bitch about it.
But the refs just continuouslydo more for the Chiefs than I've
(19:35):
ever seen.
It truly is getting ridiculous.
At this point it's making menot even want to watch the
friggin' Super Bowl.
I have to friggin' root for theEagles and, honestly, it's a
good thing that nobody actuallylistens to me, because I was
totally wrong about the Eagles.
I was worried that Hurts beinginjured and a few other factors
was going to totally hinder them, but'm I'm actually glad I was
(19:58):
wrong, because I actually thinkthe eagles have a better shot at
beating the chiefs than thecommanders did.
Um, turns out that I'm wrongabout literally everything,
because when we went to thedraft kings bar down in
nashville, they actually did apromo where if you signed up for
draft kings in front of them,they gave you 200 to gamble with
(20:18):
, and, um, they gave you a 75voucher for food and drink.
So three of us who did not havedraft kings me included were
just like, yeah, fuck it, let'ssign up, let's get some free
food, um, so, and also, it'sfree money to play with.
Like, hey, it's not my moneythat I'm gambling.
What do I give a fuck?
So I actually used that cash tobet on the Bills game.
(20:42):
I bet anytime touchdown JoshAllen didn't happen.
I bet Travis Kelsey to scoreanytime touchdown.
That didn't happen.
I bet the under thinking bothteams had a good defense.
That didn't happen.
I bet Josh Allen to get 50 plusrushing yards.
That didn't happen.
I thought P Allen to get 50plus rushing yards that didn't
happen.
I thought Pacheco would getover 40 yards that also didn't
(21:02):
happen.
I thought Keon Coleman wouldget 25 yards that didn't happen.
Nobody should ever listen to mebecause I clearly don't fucking
know anything about what I'mtalking about.
Now you're also probablythinking well, those are stupid
odds.
Yeah, well, 25 bucks would havewon me $30,000 if all of that
had hit.
So you kind of have to bet theridiculous shit if you're going
(21:23):
to want to win some money here,at least according to this.
It's also the first time I everused DraftKings.
But with that said, I'm probablygoing to bet on the Super Bowl
because I still have cash toplay with due to the $200
voucher, and after that I thinkI'm going to get rid of
DraftKings because you're goingto lose 90% more than you're
going to win.
And one thing about me is I donot like losing money.
(21:47):
Or maybe I'll just keep it andthen that way I can bet on two
games next season hopefully winthen, because football is the
only sport that I can likeavidly bet on, because it's the
only thing that I can likecontinuously watch week in and
week out.
I can't bet on basketball, Ican't bet on baseball, I can't
bet on hockey like that.
(22:07):
Shit just gets out of hand forme.
Um, football is the sport thatI think I know the best, even
though I clearly don't.
So I'm just gonna use thatmoney for next year after the
Super Bowl, so hopefully theSuper Bowl can win me some money
.
But anyways, that does it forme this week.
Again, I am so sorry that I didnot do an episode on Tuesday.
I was just thoroughly exhausted.
Also, my voice was completelyshot just from all the singing
(22:31):
and from shouting at my friendsin the bar because it was loud
and all that stuff.
So we will be back on tracknext week.

Thank you for tuning in toepisode 55 of The LNBE podcast,
where LNBE stands for literallynothing but everything.
I'm mike rispoli and I'm justrealizing that it's now been a
year of me doing this.
So hopefully, if you guys havestuck it out with me for a year,
you guys see the improvement.
If not, go, fuck yourselves.
(00:31):
No, I'm kidding, all right.
So first things first, I want tosay that I'm sorry that I
didn't put an episode out onTuesday.
I know I said I was going to,but, as you know, I went down to
Nashville, tennessee, becauseof my buddy's bachelor party and
I had all intentions of doing aTuesday episode to give you
(00:53):
guys updates on it.
But when I got off that plane Iwas fucking exhausted.
I mean, I pretty much did notsleep for four nights and
actually I got on the plane Iwas like do I even want to go
back?
Dude, nashville is a fuckingtime.
Nash Vegas, baby.
(01:13):
If anybody is planning a tripNow, this is coming from my own
experience so do what you want.
But if you guys are tornbetween going to Nashville or
going to Vegas, 100% go toNashville every day of the week,
because Nashville is just afriggin' blast.
I remember when I went to VegasI went for, I want to say, four
(01:33):
nights, just like I did forNashville, and I remember about
two nights in I was kind ofsettling in to what it was going
to be and I was just like thisis going to be a long fucking
weekend.
Nashville, on the other hand, Iwas just like this place rocks,
even during their quote-unquotelike slow season.
(01:55):
I thought it was a grand oldtime.
The vibe of Nashville is justunlike anything I've ever seen.
It truly is like a party city.
I mean, granted, it's bar afterbar, especially if you're on
Broadway.
If anybody's been to Nashville,you guys know where Broadway is
.
It is just it's live music.
(02:18):
There's plenty of stuff to do.
I am already trying to think ofwhen I'm going to plan my trip
back, because I really did justenjoy my time there.
It was the most fun that I hadhad in years.
It was also a great group ofguys that we went with.
So, yeah, man, like, if you'reeven if it's not for a bachelor
party or a bachelorette partyget a like couple your friends
(02:41):
and just go down, have some fun,kind of let wild.
I mean, I've gone on thispodcast and stated how many
times that I am not a dancer andI was up on that dance floor
every freaking night I mean meof all freaking people, I don't
know man, it just broughtsomething out of me.
(03:01):
It was just like I was downthere and I was down there to
have fucking fun and I achievedthat goal.
You only dance because you wereabsolutely hammered.
You liar, coming on thispodcast saying that you don't
drink and you go down tonashville and party it up.
No, I was actually dead asssober.
(03:22):
Granted, there were.
It was very tempting.
I'm not going to sit here andtell you that it wasn't,
especially since I was there fora bachelor party.
Everybody else in the group wasdrinking, I was not, and that
first night was really thehardest night, honestly, and
everybody was drinking.
I kind of felt like I was theodd man out.
(03:43):
And there was a point where Iwas just like, do I just order
myself a drink?
And my buddy next to me wasjust like no man, don't do it,
you're going to regret it.
It's not worth it.
You've already gone this long.
Why would you want to breakyour streak just because of
something like this, and he wasabsolutely right.
I don't regret not drinking atall.
I still had a friggin blast.
(04:04):
I actually still think I hadmore fun because I was sober
than if I went out there and Ijust got totally blitzed.
I mean, we were out every night.
We probably hit 20 to 30 barsthroughout the whole weekend.
It was a friggin wild time.
I had a blast weekend.
(04:27):
It was a friggin wild time.
I had a blast, all right.
So what did you do?
What made it so fun?
All right.
So first of all, let me take youkind of through this trip.
So we go out of jfk and I gotpatted down going through tsa.
They wanted to check my hat,like all right, fine, guess, the
x-ray machine isn't doing itsjob.
But meanwhile, two guys aheadof me, there was a dude,
definitely of middle easterndescent, and he cruises through
(04:49):
like a fat person on a slip andslide and I'm just like, why
didn't his turban get checked?
Not to be that guy?
I didn't think he had anythingon him, but I'm just like dude,
we all remember how the pantsbomber went and I don't know
about you, but I would muchrather lose the head between my
shoulders than the head betweenmy legs, like I don't know where
else.
Do you think he's gonna hidehis shit?
(05:11):
Sorry, but like, who the fucklikes getting patted down at the
airport?
And of all the people me, likeno offense to that guy, but
you're patting down me, thewhitest of the white guys, like
come on.
The whitest of the white guys,like come on.
Oh my god, could you imagine ifthere was a tsa agent who might
have known osama before he goton that plane?
(05:31):
Like hey, osama, is that a gunin your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
Well, funny, you should ask.
By the way, you a virgin, don'tmove, I'll see you in a bit.
Oh, I'm sorry, guys, but we getdown there.
Um, we get to our airbnb, whichis actually right above a bar
(05:51):
and it was right on broadway.
It was perfect.
It was perfect walking distancefrom everywhere that we wanted
to go, except for, like, ourdaytime excursions.
Um, so the first night we justkind of grabbed dinner and then
we just walked around just tokind of scope out like what the
scene was going to be like andall that stuff.
Um, but I did the one thing thatI never thought I would ever do
(06:13):
down there we booked, uh, uh,go into a gun range because, uh,
the guys in the bachelor partyand my friends are all into or I
wouldn't say that they're intoguns.
I don't want to make them soundlike gun nuts, um, but they all
have guns and they all like togo shooting and stuff.
That was something that I hadnever done.
And they start me out with afull automatic MP5.
(06:37):
And I'm like this is thefrigging gun that I'm going to
pop my gun shooting cherry with.
All right friggin do it.
And it was actually a loteasier than I thought it was
gonna be.
Um, so shot that full automatic,whatever it is.
I don't know if it's a rifle,it's a machine gun, I don't
fucking know.
I'm not a gun person.
(06:58):
But they all had a blast withit because obviously, the only
time you could shoot a fullautomatic is at a gun range,
unless you're also in a school,ao, um.
But then I also shot a 22 and Ithought it was interesting
because the 22 was a lot harderto shoot than the full automatic
(07:19):
.
It was a lot more um kickbackthan the full automatic and it
was also a little bit harder tohandle because, like you, had to
do a certain grip.
I don't know, I'm not a gunperson, I shot both guns and I
was just like all right, youguys have fun with all the rest
of the ammo, because this isjust not my thing.
(07:40):
But it was funny because Iremember the instructor was just
like and remember, if thetarget's talking, it ain't a
target.
And I'm just like, well, Iguess it depends on who's
speaking.
And after we left, one of mybuddies down there was just like
dude, you didn't feel a rushwhen you shot it.
I'm like I don't know, man, Ikind of get a better rush when I
punch somebody in the face, butthat's me.
(08:01):
So, um, that was more for themin the bachelor than it was for
me, but we did it because helikes it.
Gotta do what the bachelorwants.
And then the other daytimeexcursion that we did was
curling.
And we did some daytimeexcursions just because we
couldn't spend our whole frigginfour days at bars, like that
would have just been way toomuch.
(08:21):
And I got to say curling, youmake fun of it on TV because
they look so fucking stupid withthose brooms.
It is way harder than you wouldhave ever thought.
I'm not going to lie.
I fucking wiped out my firsttime.
Did I post that on Insta orsocial?
No, because I'm not going to goout and embarrass myself.
Did I maybe post a video of theBachelor wiping out?
(08:42):
Absolutely and no, honestly,neither one of us wiped out
because we're on ice.
You're like, oh, it's ice, ofcourse it's slippery.
No, no, no, done it before.
Is there's a little wedge thingthat they put behind you that
you rest your dominant foot on?
And it's kind of like if you'rewearing heels and your foot is
(09:06):
arched like, imagine that soyou're in like a three-point
stance.
Essentially one foot is on this, on this block, and that's what
you use to push off.
Then on your left side you'vegot this holder thing to keep
you steady, and the woman whowas explaining it was like yeah,
you want to put at least 40 ofyour body weight on that holder
(09:29):
so you don't freaking killyourself.
And um, on the on your leftfoot or your non-dominant foot,
I'm right-handed.
So on your non-dominant foot,I'm right-handed.
So on your non-dominant foot,you put this slider thing so you
could slide on the ice, becausethere's booties that go on your
feet so you don't just slip onthe ice right when you step on
it and I'm like explaining this,looking at my feet and shit, as
(09:52):
if you can see it, buthopefully you can imagine this.
So you kick off with yourdominant foot, but when you kick
off, that slider thing on yournon-dominant foot just also
wants to freaking go.
So if your first time, it's justreally kind of awkward and
(10:13):
that's what made me and my buddyjust totally wipe out.
I actually didn't fall, fall,but I just did an overextended
plank, um, but after like two orthree tries all of us kind of
got the hang of it.
I do kind of wish we did it fora little bit longer, because we
all started kind of getting ina groove and we were just like
(10:34):
dude, like let, like, let'sfucking go.
The easiest way for me toexplain it is like if you've
ever played shuffleboard, it'sshuffleboard on ice.
It is really fun.
It is honestly something I wishI kind of had around here,
because now it's just somethingI'm just like geez, this is
actually more fun than bowlingor some other stupid indoor
sport.
(10:55):
So yeah, gun range curling, andthen during nighttime we hit
the bars and I don't know if Imentioned this earlier, but we
definitely hit like 20 to 30bars.
Um, some of my favorite barsdown there.
I really liked old red.
That's a Blake Shelton's bar.
I thought that they had thebest PA system.
(11:16):
Between Ol' Red and MorganWallen, I thought they had the
best PA system.
The music just sounded great.
Both of the bands who I sawperforming there were awesome.
Oh, but you know what I willsay speaking of Morgan Wallen's
bar.
That freaking bar had at least10 to 12 floors.
I have no idea how big thisplace was.
Every single floor had adifferent band playing and that
(11:39):
was actually how most of thebars set up in Nashville were.
But the easiest way to get upand down to these floors were
the stairs and with the amountof stairs there were, it made me
think why the hell are there somany fat fucks in the south if
they got to keep going up anddown however many flights of
stairs?
My god, we went to the rooftopto every bar just because why
(12:01):
the hell not?
And half of the time I was outof freaking breath and I like to
think I'm in pretty goodfreaking shape here, all right.
Um, I really liked pbr for allof the wrong reasons.
When we went, pbr wasabsolutely dead, but that was
where the mechanical bull wasand obviously we had to throw
(12:23):
the bachelor on there.
I mean, just frigging hammerdrunk.
We're just like, yeah, get upon there.
He actually did a lot betterthan I think any of us expected
him to.
Um, he actually fell kind ofgracefully, so that kind of
helped things.
But, um, the women there wereall just ridiculously attractive
and then their uniform was justassless chaps.
(12:47):
One of the bartenders and Iposted this on my Instagram and
TikTok because the bar wasactually so dead.
She just went on just topractice.
And we got there at the righttime, let me tell you, because
we were just like, oh, my God,hey, yo, I got something you
could ride.
Honestly, I wonder how manydrunk idiots have gone up to a
(13:10):
woman on one of those mechanicalbulls and said that exact line.
I mean, I didn't say it to her,but I'd be lying if I told you
that I wasn't thinking it.
So PBR was really cool.
If you're a guy, you're going toreally like it, or at least, if
you're a straight guy, you'rereally going to like it.
But that's the bar that I endedup getting proposed to.
So, to tell you that story?
(13:31):
Nothing really crazy, honestly.
Just I saw a woman who was partof a bridal shower so I went up
to her.
I was like, oh, you guys partof a bridal shower, we're part
of a bachelor party and I guesspart of their whole thing of the
group is because this woman wasjust flashing me this card.
I'm like all right, what thefuck is this card?
She's like we all have to do adare.
(13:54):
I'm like all right, well,what's your dare?
And she's like I have topropose to somebody.
Can I propose to you?
I would be honored.
So she ends up proposing to me.
Too bad, I just got to tell herhusband Girl had a rock on her
finger.
Oh, and speaking of women, therewas this group of Australian
women that we met up with andSaturday night we were hanging
(14:19):
out with them because we metthem at a bar that was kind of
dead, and then they were justlike, oh, where are you guys
going to go to next?
So we all just kind of migratedover to the next bar and
chatting up, having a little fun, whatever.
I ended up getting her one ofthe girls numbers and the next
day they were doing like theirday excursions.
(14:40):
And then she texted me laterthat night like, hey, let's hang
out.
I'm like, all right, let's hangout.
So I'm out at one of the barswith my friends, they meet up
with us and, uh, at one of thebars we're dancing, we're
singing, we're moving to thegrooving and she turns around
(15:00):
and she goes.
You know, what would be reallyfun is if we go and wake up your
roommates, because some of themtapped out early, fucking
squares.
And I'm like I know what that'scode for.
And now I know what you guysare all thinking Were you able
to come from a land down under?
Well, I fucking would have ifthe plane could have gotten off
(15:20):
the runway, because we'restanding in front of our airbnb
and she goes over to her friendsand her friend just goes.
If you go up there, I'm gonnabe so pissed and that was the
end of that.
So I get it, though I was upsetjust because I'm also just like
(15:42):
when the hell was I ever goingto have this opportunity again?
But I totally get it because atthe same point, this would be a
woman going into a stranger'sAirbnb that would also have five
other dudes in it.
In all honesty, her friend wasactually being a good friend
because she was also probablyjust thinking God knows what
(16:02):
could also happen up there.
So I totally understand, butthe cock block still hurts Also
something that I would just liketo put out there.
She was also completely soberwhen she was going to make this
decision.
I bought her one drink.
That was the only drink thatshe had had all night while we
(16:24):
were hanging out, because I canalready see some of the comments
or commentary that some of youmight make and I'm just gonna
shoot that shit down and justlike dancing.
It also went to show that Idon't need alcohol to also get
women.
I can get by on my sparklingpersonality.
I don't know, man.
(16:45):
Like there was something aboutbeing down there where it just
really kind of proved to myselfcertain things and also allowed
me to realize that whatever washindering me whether it was
talking to women or dancing thatit really was just all in my
head.
You just got to fucking go doit.
But, unlike me, you know whodid get fucked?
(17:05):
The Buffalo Bills.
That's right.
You didn't think I was going totalk a little bit about this.
I actually didn't watch the gamebecause I knew exactly what was
going to happen.
Also, it doesn't help the factthat I was exhausted and I fell
asleep at halftime, but the poorbills must be the frigging most
cursed team in the NFL.
(17:27):
Um, from what I did see, I evenposted this on threads.
Not that anybody sees itbecause I have no fricking
following, um, but from what Idid see I posted on threads.
I was like why in the hell isthe Chiefs offense even on the
field when the refs just movedthe ball for them?
(17:48):
I didn't fully watch the gameand I gotta be honest, in that
first quarter, from what I doremember seeing, it looked like
Josh Allen almost threw twopicks right out of the gate.
He threw two really bad balls.
So you got to give credit tothe Chiefs defense because they
were able to kind of shut theBills down in the beginning of
the game.
I obviously didn't see whathappened later on because it
(18:10):
ended up being a high scoringaffair.
But Josh Allen had two firstdowns or no, not Josh Allen.
Josh Allen had one first down.
I don not Josh Allen.
Josh Allen had one first down.
I don't know who had the ball.
Oh, kincaid.
Kincaid had the other firstdown.
Both got called back.
So, like everybody else issaying I'm going to say the same
thing.
That was absolute bullshit.
Those should have been easyfirst downs.
(18:33):
And then that last play, thatfourth and three play, where
Allen just throws like a 40-yardbomb to I don't remember if it
was Kincaid or Knox, one of thetight ends.
Everybody's saying that heshould have made that catch.
I don't know man.
He's running full speed acrossthe field.
(18:54):
Allen throws up a Hail Maryball field.
Allen throws up a Hail Maryball.
Whoever it was if it was Knoxor Kincaid is running across the
field full sprint, has toadjust his body to come back
towards the ball and he missedit.
Now, granted, he got both handson the ball, so the rules say
both hands on the ball, you makethe catch.
(19:14):
But that is also a verydifficult catch.
Now, would that play need tohave been made if the Bills get
those two first down calls?
I don't think so and I'm goingto continuously bitch about it.
But the refs just continuouslydo more for the Chiefs than I've
(19:35):
ever seen.
It truly is getting ridiculous.
At this point it's making menot even want to watch the
friggin' Super Bowl.
I have to friggin' root for theEagles and, honestly, it's a
good thing that nobody actuallylistens to me, because I was
totally wrong about the Eagles.
I was worried that Hurts beinginjured and a few other factors
was going to totally hinder them, but'm I'm actually glad I was
(19:58):
wrong, because I actually thinkthe eagles have a better shot at
beating the chiefs than thecommanders did.
Um, turns out that I'm wrongabout literally everything,
because when we went to thedraft kings bar down in
nashville, they actually did apromo where if you signed up for
draft kings in front of them,they gave you 200 to gamble with
(20:18):
, and, um, they gave you a 75voucher for food and drink.
So three of us who did not havedraft kings me included were
just like, yeah, fuck it, let'ssign up, let's get some free
food, um, so, and also, it'sfree money to play with.
Like, hey, it's not my moneythat I'm gambling.
What do I give a fuck?
So I actually used that cash tobet on the Bills game.
(20:42):
I bet anytime touchdown JoshAllen didn't happen.
I bet Travis Kelsey to scoreanytime touchdown.
That didn't happen.
I bet the under thinking bothteams had a good defense.
That didn't happen.
I bet Josh Allen to get 50 plusrushing yards.
That didn't happen.
I thought P Allen to get 50plus rushing yards that didn't
happen.
I thought Pacheco would getover 40 yards that also didn't
(21:02):
happen.
I thought Keon Coleman wouldget 25 yards that didn't happen.
Nobody should ever listen to mebecause I clearly don't fucking
know anything about what I'mtalking about.
Now you're also probablythinking well, those are stupid
odds.
Yeah, well, 25 bucks would havewon me $30,000 if all of that
had hit.
So you kind of have to bet theridiculous shit if you're going
(21:23):
to want to win some money here,at least according to this.
It's also the first time I everused DraftKings.
But with that said, I'm probablygoing to bet on the Super Bowl
because I still have cash toplay with due to the $200
voucher, and after that I thinkI'm going to get rid of
DraftKings because you're goingto lose 90% more than you're
going to win.
And one thing about me is I donot like losing money.
(21:47):
Or maybe I'll just keep it andthen that way I can bet on two
games next season hopefully winthen, because football is the
only sport that I can likeavidly bet on, because it's the
only thing that I can likecontinuously watch week in and
week out.
I can't bet on basketball, Ican't bet on baseball, I can't
bet on hockey like that.
(22:07):
Shit just gets out of hand forme.
Um, football is the sport thatI think I know the best, even
though I clearly don't.
So I'm just gonna use thatmoney for next year after the
Super Bowl, so hopefully theSuper Bowl can win me some money
.
But anyways, that does it forme this week.
Again, I am so sorry that I didnot do an episode on Tuesday.
I was just thoroughly exhausted.
Also, my voice was completelyshot just from all the singing
(22:31):
and from shouting at my friendsin the bar because it was loud
and all that stuff.
So we will be back on tracknext week.
