On the season finale of Unscripted with Ryan, Cole Madzey joins for one final time. Yes, some may be sick of him being on at this point, but in this episode, it is a final goodbye. As we drive from New Hampshire to Texas, we hop on our microphones to debrief our lives, and discuss what has been going on recently in our world. From wild stop we made in Nashville, to what the future holds for two college graduates with high expectations, there is so much to learn in between from these two. The two frat co-founders talk about how it was time to step away from the college world, and enter the real on. That and a whole lot more in this episode. Oh yeah, and did I mention that it is unscripted?

You guys like that new intro song? Welcome back to Unescripted with Ryan. This is Ryan Fitzpatrick. We are on the talent every Wednesday at 4 o'clock. Or if you listen to anywhere on the podcast platforms. And uh today I have another guest who's on honestly last week. Um he's on the co-host. He's considered himself a co-host at this point. This is what your fourth episode, buddy? Third. And if you haven't guessed who it is, it's Cole Madzy. Cole, we are driving right now, actually. We're getting a uh a pre-recorded episode. We're not live right now, but um, yeah, it's a pre-recorded episode, buddy. We're driving, we're on the road. Tell them what we're doing. Uh, so I do this drive every year because I live in Texas, so we're driving back from beautiful Range, New Hampshire, back to to Dallas. So, couple stops, one stop in Harrisburg, the dirty hairy, um, and then Smashville. And now we're on the final stretch. We got seven hours and ten minutes left, 504 miles, using ways, no cops are stopping us. We're cruising. Oh, we are on cruise control, so it's hard to get stopped. And I'm sitting like a girl. Then tell me what that is. I've seen many women to drive. You see many women? Nice dude. I'm top, you're the man. Oh, that was the worst time I've ever. Woo! Trying not to crash. You're so nice. You're so pretty. Uh oh yeah, what we're doing. Oh, it's a classic move. What's going on? Anyway. Transition. Sitting like a girl. It's like your left leg is just you put your foot like up. Um pretty flexible. Am I? Let me see. Let me get a little touch. You know me. You know what I want. You're so cool. Anyway. Um, yeah, anyway. So we're probably gonna get cancelled for the last episode we recorded. It's okay though. YOLO, Yoko. You heard Yoko? Honestly, that's probably one of the I don't know what Yoko is. The last episode is definitely a must-listen if you like Unhinged Episode, more so like a um an episode where we're just talking about whatever, spewing random things. Absolute nonsense. Just straight brain fog. But there's a it's a good interview as well, especially towards the end, if you want to hear more so about sorry, um, it's been a long week. Um, if you want to hear more so about some more interview stuff, that's more so at the end. So if you want to uh fast forward it to about like the last 20 minutes. But don't do it. Uh don't do it. I I don't recommend it. That's just a little uh update on the last episode, though. This one is more so of a car ride. Now, Cole, you've done this before. Um obviously you're you you know you're from Dallas, Texas, making your way up to Franklin Pierce University. But um, it's a long drive, and you bring your car up. Not a lot of people bring their car up. You, on the other hand, you drive all the way up and talk to me about that um whole shabl ammo of coming up every now and then. You said this is your seventh round trip. Uh this is your seventh round trip. I was just about to compliment your interviewing skills until you said chip lamo. I do this for a living. Why are you driving me is my job? Uh that is true. This is your job. That's crazy. Wow, I did wow, okay. Good. You're good at your job. High five. Up top, you're the man. Uh oh yeah, I think I've done it like seven times because I played junior hockey in Connecticut, so I would drive up every year, but um, yeah, normally I go with like my buddies from home because one of them played at Wilkes University, the other one at St. Mike's. Boo, boo, boo. Close up, close, up, boo, boo, close my lunch. Um, yeah, so I've done it a million times. Always stop in Nashville. Can't not do it. Except when my buddies convince me to stop at Knoxville, and then it's the worst time ever because whatever. No one was going out, everyone's gotta study their syllabus. Tell me the story you told me yesterday? Yeah, so Knoxville is about what would you say 45 It's 12 hours from Dr. It's 12 hours from Dallas. So it's an extra two hours from Dallas, and obviously it's important to have uh like the same Oh, what animal was that? No. No, that wasn't a dog though, so it's okay. I hope not. No, it wasn't, it was too short for. Alright, it was a person. I'd rather it be a person. I'd much rather be a person. Sorry, driving on the road, gotta go bike anyway. Um it's important to have like the same hour intervals, because obviously you're gonna have a longer drive one way. If you you know, obviously you have a shorter drive the next day to go up. Right. Um 10 hour intervals are perfect. We had a 10-hour drive from uh the Tucky, Pennsylvania. Pennsyltucky Pennsylvania to uh to Nashville and then Nashville to Dallas, also 10 hours, so it's nice having the similar time. Yeah, 10 hours isn't bad. But you got convinced last time to take that extra couple hours uh of the initial drive to Knoxville, go through Nashville, Tennessee, which is the spot to go to Knoxville. So what was that? It was uh syllabus week at University of Tennessee and University of Tennessee, you know, SEC school, so they like to have a good time. Um and my buddies went the year before when I drove with someone else who we won't even talk about but um wow that was a nightmare trip. But was that with the whole hotel thing? Oh yeah. I know, but how long ago was this? Two years? That was my seat going up for my senior year. But oh this is recent. No, it's senior like last wait a year ago. Year and a half, I guess, or whatever. Anyway, yeah, so they went up, they saw our friend, she showed them a good time in Knoxville during syllabus week, because syllabus week is a joke. Just go out and party. Um, so they had a great time and then gave me horrible FOMO. And so the next year we all drove together, and they're like, let's just skip Nashville, whatever, let's make it the extra two hours, push it, then we'll have an easier day the next day, and it's so much fun, blah blah blah. And then we go there, and it's the most dead city in the entire world ever. No one's out, maybe three people. The Uber driver's like, Yeah, if you came a day earlier, you would have had the best time of your life. Everyone was out, but now everyone's like just two hung back, so whatever. Worst time ever. I was so mad, and then my buddy's like, Oh, we're sorry, it was so cool last year. But yeah, so I it's it's it's just hard for me to pass up on Nashville. No matter what, Nashville's always a good time, it's always rocking. It's actually just the on a Monday night last night. Yeah, and it was bumping. Bumping. Not not like a ton of like obviously what uh uh what like 20 20-year-old man is you know out there, but like but it was still a lot of people, a lot of people having a good time, and all live bands, you weren't kidding. Live band every bar on multiple levels of the bar. There'll be one there'll be multiple stories of this bar, and there's a band on each floor. Why don't you uh tell the listeners who we went out with? That kind of give us the backstory on that, and like how uh should she want you to go on a Friday? The craziest day to go out in Nashville. Give the backstory who's with us. Anyway, so uh my cousin came uh to Nashville with us. She lives in Nashville, she's from Long Island, New York, like myself. And uh Caroline, shout out Caroline Busemi, love her to death. Um I posted Cole driving the other day when we were on our way down, obviously down to Pennsyltucky to begin our trip. And um, so that was the day before we hit Nashville. So she she saw it, uh texted me saying, Hey, you're going to Nashville? I saw you said you were going to Nashville. I said, Yeah. And I realized, oh crap, my cousin lives in Nashville. Because, you know, I always forget brain damage trick. Um, so sorry, Caroline, I know I always forget. And it's okay, he forgets things. I asked him legitimately five minutes ago and then remembers like four hours later. Don't worry, I'll always remember the important things in you, I think. Anyway, so um, yeah, Caroline texted me that I said, yes, we're doing this. Caroline's coming out with us, she's the man, I love her, she's awesome, and then so she came out with us. And she knows the layout of the land, but so do you though. You're not a first-time comer, you know the way things go. First time comer. Definitely were it last night. So we went what we did was we went to Punky. Yeah, so we went to Pencil Ducky, we went to our favorite place, Sheets. We probably stopped at seven different sheets. Went to Sheets late night, got the craziest thing. I got a turkey sub. Uh, supposed to get a hot dog with uh caramelized onions. They gave me two hot dogs with uh sauerkraut. What do we do in Sheets? Let's figure it out here. Dirty hairy sheets, come on. Um got an extra hot dog. That's true. I didn't even eat it because I almost lost my lunch. But and then um what else did I get? Oh, curly fries, little corn dogs, little touch. Um, so yeah, like I said, you you and Caroline both knew the land of the land of Nashville. It's true. I used to call Mati the Nashville Know It All because he brought me so many times and just turned into it. Yeah, he he passed the torch to me because I've been there, I don't even know, probably 15 times now. It seems like like 15 days probably. So and obviously Broadway is Broadway, so you always just go to Broadway, and it's easy to kind of figure it out a little bit. Even she didn't know where Roberts was. I was like, I think it's over there. That was the one with the book of the lights. Where I was I forgot we had canned beers at a bar. I don't feel like they were 250. Wow, boom. That's why I showed up randomly and I was like, boo, take this. To the face. That was when you were talking to her, and then I you were like having like a heart to heart or whatever, and then I was like, it's okay. I'm just gonna grab this drink and go rock out with the band alone, Nick Fish style. Um Holy crap, I forgot about a heart to heart. Sorry, Calon. Oh my god. To the But yeah, that was that was the place, that was the place with the poverty combo or whatever I was telling you about, with like the spam sandwich and two beers for six bucks or something. Why don't you do that? You know what's spam sandwich. I know, that's why. But it is kind of sick. It is funny. Yeah, true. So Mati told me about this, Nashville Know It All Senior. Um even though I'm older than him. But um, yeah. That she I knew it was like on the other end of Broadway, and she's like, no, it's down here. But then we ended up going to that other bar that Turner and I went to, which was still fun. Um and somehow we got kicked out of all these. Somehow. Don't know what happened. I think they mixed up us with someone else, probably. Yeah, that is true. I think that's what the case was. We're very uh the most well made. Um what's cool about you and my cousin is that you both are into the uh uh the finance and accounting world. Oh, true. That is true. She works at uh Deloitte. Yeah, so my cousin, obviously, like I said, we're from Long Island, New York. Um, born and raised, and then in college, she went to Penn State and then had an internship in uh Nashville, and then went back to college, but then she got that job. What's that what's it called when you get a job offer from? A return offer. Oh yeah, return offer, I guess, and then she went into that place, and who did she work for? I know. Deloitte. Yeah. Deloitte. Uh she's in audit. She's loving it. There you go. Nice, right? That's ball knowledge. That is ball knowledge. And then uh boys. And then uh, yeah, so she's she's down there having a great time. She's lived there since September. Uh, but she went to work today. Somehow she went to work today. Congratulations. Bless her heart because your heart. Lord knows I couldn't have gone to work today. But I'm driving ten hours.
unknownWhoa.
SPEAKER_00How are you feeling by the way? The the actual Celsius has definitely kicked in pretty nicely. Yeah. We had to go uh get uh the old uh what was it? Buy buy buy two, get one free for uh Celsius. And it wasn't working, so then I had to bother the lady. But we tried to translate some Spanish. Ryan's Ryan's AB Spanish didn't kick in. Dude, that's so I think it was just because my brain fog was so big. Did you like that I called you in though? Yes, and I appreciate that because I usually can, and I know he was talking about money because he was like, did that all the like some you know, like you know how Fish was talking about it when he were in Montreal? To where it's like you speak very fast with your own language, but when you're hearing it, it's fast. Oh, yeah. I feel like Spanish is so fast when it's like native. Exactly. Like I'm gonna have to get slowed down for me. Like I'll pick up on certain words. She was she was thinking he wanted gas, and so I was like, So I asked him uh uh numero uh K. I I just said don't dance down uh Caro. And then he was like, uh no no no no no no no guess, no gas, no gas. And I was like, alright, am I allowed to say what speak speak Spanish and do an impression of this man? Anyway. It's good. So uh what happened? It's just a story. It is a story. So then he comes up so nice. He's so pretty. Um comes out, um, then he's like, no, and then starts speaking fast. And I picked up on De Nero and I was like, wow, uh I think if I was a little later on in the day, or if I was a little less out to lunch then I would have like picked up. If we didn't go to Nashville, yeah, I would have picked up on like more things he was saying, but I just my brain fucked too much. And I'm sorry, Miss Calvinici. I'm sorry, I let you down. Calvinici, that sounds like Italian. Calvin Calamanici. She is I think she is Italian, but she's uh I love Italian women so much. What is that? I love Italian women so much. I think Spanish is my uh your preferred breed. I'm playing with my sock, I'm Ryan, I'm sorry. Um we are two hours in now. Are we? No, we're we're uh three hours in. We've been driving through for three hours? It's gone by so fast. Because we keep doing this unscripted with Ryan stuff. I love it. So fun. It's so much fun. Um, like I said, guys, by the way, with Unscripted with Ryan, it's coming to an end uh in just a couple weeks now. Not even. Where's the deer juice? Uh we're getting that tear juice coming to an end on season one! Ha ha! It's unscripted with Ryan is not going away completely, but season one is coming to an end. We're gonna have another couple month break because I will be transitioning to the Keen Swamp Ads. My buddy loves transitions. Um, I'll be going with the Keen Swamp Ads to uh broadcast for them and have my own uh Chatter at the Swamp podcast, so you'll be able to listen to that. It's more so interview style with the uh players, coaches, and staff around that league and team most likely. The Long Island Ducks. That's the Fezino, the NECBL. Nice, dude ball knowledge. Holy, I can't believe I got that. Wow, that's so sick, actually. It's like the knoll. Yeah. It's actually kind of like it is like the knoll. It actually is the knoll. It's like Steven Bangs. Do for Steven Bangs, man. He'll be back coaching. Shout out to Steven Bangs. I'm really proud of him. How far he's came. Um yeah, he did that. But um, yeah, but back to unscripted Ryan, though. I'm happy that we're able to do this. I'm happy to bring on this amazing guests like I have. I'm obviously it's more so interview style uh with certain guests, and obviously when I have you guys on, we're just whereas here in uh you have to call this one D-hung. D-hung That's gotta be the name of the episode. D Hugger. Explain our concept with D-huggers and rehuggers, brother. This is Monty. Back to Monty, always, always back to Monty. Um the St. Mike's guys, they went to Tampa for post. Is that from D guys? No, it's because Monty's so acoustic. He comes home. He comes home and he just starts stimming about random things that the St. Mike's guys do, and I'm like, what are you saying? Uh but they went to Tampa for a spring break, and one of them was about the Franco Pearson spring break. Seriously. Uh one of them was like saying, uh this is such a re-hunger. Like when they were hung over, like something would happen. This is a re-hunger. And then if something good happened, this is a de-hunger. And then eventually came the pre-hunger. So essentially a de-hunger is you know, you're hungover, it's something good, you know. Yeah, say like a puppy walks in and you're like, oh, such a de-hunger. Or like, or like you're not so nauseated, so you're able to eat like an unbelievable burger. Omelette like I just had. Oh, that omelet was such a dehunger. Embassy sweets, unbelievable omelets. Great time. Um, yeah, so good. But that's such a de-hunger. A re-hunger is like you wake up and you're like, oh my god, I didn't do any homework this week. I have four papers juice, and it's Sunday. Re-hunger. Such a re-hunger. What did I say a pre-hunger was yesterday? I had a good pre-hunger. Like right before you're about to get blacked out rage gallons, you realize you have homework or something. Yeah, that'll be a good one. Or what was it? It said a good one before.
unknownI know.
SPEAKER_00Like, oh, like a pre-hunger would be like last week when you want to just hang out with your buddies a couple more times, have a good night, and then you're like, oh no, I gotta pack. That's a pre-hunger when you instantly. Or you think, oh my god, this is the last time I'm hanging out with my buddies at college ever. Oh my god, my life is over. That's a pre-hunger. Uh now let's move on before I get depressed. Yeah, we were driving. Every time, every now and then during this drive, I realized this is my last time with Cole Madsey for probably at least a year. So uh, that's a pre-hunger for sure. Oh my god. For sure, right? Oh no, probably like 11 months, you'll see. Yeah. If uh you know, career trajectories, we'll see where everything ends up. Uh but yeah, we're on this drive right now. I but like like I said, we think about those things. Sorry. Every single time we've on a non-pod, I swear one of us like dying of coughing. I that's me too. Look at my feet. Look at my feet. No, every time we think about that stuff, I just grab a gallon of water and uh beer juice. To rehydrate your eyeballs. Because we're gonna leave here, we're gonna We're emotional men, I'm sorry. Sorry for being a ladies on the radio right now who like emotional men, hit me up. And if you're Italian, definitely hit me up.
unknownWhatever.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I'm gonna get fired. You're so pretty. You ever see the uh pranks when people like their buddies sleeping in the passenger seat and like say this was turned the other way, so it looks like it's going head on, and then you go, ah, wake them up so they they get up, and then they see the car like instantaneously. Worst PA of their life. So funny. I saw one the other day, but you weren't asleep. I haven't been asleep this entire car already. That's true, because I won't let you. How do you feel about that? Well, we keep getting freaking liquid bag. It's it's it's it's Celsius. It's Celsius. Explain to them why we call it liquid bag, because before I look like the worst person in the world. Not explaining it now. Alright, dang it. Just kidding, just kidding. Uh yeah, I mean, uh our buddy just came up with Oh shoot. Our buddy just came up with this concept because whatever, uh, illicit substance wakes you up. There's uh there's the liquid form, and it's called caffeine. It's my favorite addiction ever. Caffeinated baby. Just kidding, I'm addicted to my friends. Oh, it's awesome. So nice. Here's such a D Hunger. You know me so well. You know what I want. To stay up with my buddy. It's been fun though, honestly. I thought about it. Can you get that other liquid bag going actually? Yeah, actually, here you go. Sorry, but I just think it's a good idea before I you know drive us out the side of the road or whatever. Woo! I swear it's liquid bag and not a beer while I'm driving. Dude. Just kidding, it is a Celsius. Arctic vibe. Sparkling frozen. Oh, can I try that actually? Can Frank get a little touch? Does Frank get a big touch? No, I'm just kidding. I have the watermelon Celsius, sparkling frozen. One of my favorite flavor by far, if you can't tell, I get it every single time. I'm normally a big coffee guy. This is good. It is good. Honestly, it kinda tastes like the Blum. That's why I I used to get it. Did you notice Mati yesterday on the phone was saying, yeah, Blum wants us to go to uh Chicago? It's his teammate Ty Bloom, but he just calls them Blums. I don't know why. Do you guys expose me to this whole world of talking like an absolute idiot, and I love it. Yeah, it's literally my favorite thing ever. I actually can't stop doing it. It's so bad.
SPEAKER_01You're so cute! You are so unbelievably nice. What the heck?
SPEAKER_00What the Yeah, but um It's been it's been a good ride with you know going down to uh Pennsyltucky to begin it. Um the first night we had in Pennsylvania, oh it was it was a calm night. We well first we stopped at Nick Fish's to see him and say goodbye. That was wholesome, very nice. Um shout out Nick who lives in Ashland, Massachusetts. So we went there first. Uh right outside of Boston. Got some good apps. Got some good apps, but basically stopped at Boston first. Um got some good apps, uh had a had one pint and then left. Yeah, I didn't have any because I was driving. Yep. Uh but Sure! And then uh uh we got behind the wheel and ran down Pennsylvania. We got to the hotel after what would you say that drive was about six hours? From from Dirty Erie to or from yeah, like seven, I think so. Yeah, seven hours, but we also ran out. Six actually, six because we drove down. Well it was also seven and a half because we drove down to Ashley. Boston first, basically. And then um, yeah, so we drove down to uh Pennsylvania, but we got there around 11, 11.30, and we had homework to do, buddy. Oh yeah, work. Yeah, I wanted to keep pushing it, but then I realized the time, so I was like, we'll just stop in the dirty hairy and do our homework. Got a great deal, uh, like a three-star hotel, I don't even remember what it was, but it was only 80 bucks, so good deal. Thanks. Great deal. Thanks, Priceline. Thanks, Priceline. I'm a VIP member of Priceline. Shout out my father for always using Priceline and making me use it because it always gives you great hotel deals. That was great. That was such a dealer getting in there. Nice spot. Dougie was rapping outside, so we've got we went to Sheets. And Sheets was good. Yeah, we got some food there, the nice like midnight dinner, and uh went to bed. We were shot. Yeah, the first time sleeping like eight hours and probably two months. It was my first time sleeping on a in a bed for the first time in two and a half weeks, which was nice for my body. Yep, it was so nice. It was so nice. I knew what he wanted. You know, you always gotta crank the AC down in every hotel you do, and this had the coldest AC. I had to get up in the middle of the night and actually turn it back on. Uh or turn it like higher. So that was awesome. Uh TikTok says it's good for the testosterone. So I just go with I just go with that. I love a nice cold room, it helps me sleep for sure. But then I wake up with you know, hoarse voice. You know, it's it really is like waking up hot is the worst thing ever. Yeah, sweating, like sleeping, and you're like stuck to the sheets, it's actually the worst. Yeah, so I'd much rather wake up freezing because the thing is you can escape the cold, you can't escape the heat. When you're in the heat, it's already too late. Especially when you're in bed because you have sheets on you, whatever. That's when you DO whatever, blah blah blah. It sucks. So, might as well sleep in the cold, right? And I lost my lunch, so there you go. Um, yeah, so there's that, then shipped it to Embassy Suites, good hotel there. I love it there. They've got a show to the Broadway, and they got an omelet bar. It was so nice to us. They actually redid the omelet bar situation. Did you see how he just had those circles of eggs? Yeah. Yeah, normally they have like the same thing as the calf. Huh. Which I think I think that actually expedites the process, so that's probably why they did it. So nice. Smart move, though. It was honestly so good. Love that place. Embassy Suites. Unbelievable. I know. Great place. Oh yeah. And it was so cheap. I know. You kidding me? Yeah. 118 a person? Oh yeah. It's crazy. So um, yeah, I love that. It's definitely the best place to stay there. No one steal my spot. I need it to be cheap still. Um, well, I guess next time I go to Nashville, I probably won't be just driving to school because my life is over. Um next time. Next time would be a PTO vacation, buddy. That's true. Welcome to the world. Alright, I'm jumping out of the car. My buddy aged out of college officially. I love that you say aged out. That's what you say in junior when you're uh 20, and then you like it's your last year of eligibility in junior. Yeah. I'm aging out. Do people when they age out of junior at hockey? So this is this is for people who don't know the uh hockey world, like including myself. Um juniors is when you graduate high school and you want to play in college, maybe not at the division one level, division three level you want to do, uh, more so of Caroline said they did it at Penn State. Yeah, you can do D1. I'm sure like the higher ups, like it's like like D1, it's like a lot of them don't age out, but they still play. Like, so I think like half the rosters uh just straight out of high school, straight to school, and then like the other half is like they play junior and whatever. But yeah, junior hockey, whoever invented it, awesome time, but just so weird. Like, I don't understand who's like, yeah, you gotta be 21 to uh get into college as a hockey player. So sick. So sick. 24 years old and still in college.
SPEAKER_01Go to the show.
SPEAKER_00I mean my student. Me and Flats are in our orientation at NEC, and we're like, uh, when can we drink? The our peer leader's like, what? And I'm like, we're 21, don't worry, we play hockey. She's like, oh great, I can tell. How old's your girlfriend? What girlfriend? I'm so glad I thought you were gonna say which one I would have left so hard. I basically said which one. We should have said that. Yeah, you would have sounded like the man! That's normally a line. I was just so caught off guard by that line. I'm not at school. Oh, Boossies! 748 miles? That's a re-hunger. That's way that's way beyond. Say pa ba ball. Say pa pa ball. Uh, you know what I just randomly thought of because we drove past some town called Oakland? Is uh, did you like when the Raiders used to play on the A's field? Yeah. Did you think that was wholesome because it's your two sports? What I yeah, nice, dude. You that's good ball knowledge. You know my sports, dude. You know my sports. So wholesome. You know me. Let me get a little touch. Yeah, my dad was a big Raiders fan. What about what about that uh though? Like, what about them playing on the like other field? Um, football, we played on at Polar Park in a polar park in Worcester where the Wussoc played. You were telling me this the other day. No one had a tackler. I did it because I was a sophomore and I barely played. Come on, Coach Gass. Coach Gass. Coach Gas, we're going to the Rangers game. Mom's community couch. I can't believe I told one of the people at Morgan Stanley in an interview that about Coach Gass because he went to UT. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he just shot the stuff with them about Coach Gass. Yeah, because I was like, are you a football fan? And he's like, Yeah, you know. I was like, you went to a UT, right? He's like, yeah. And I was like, are you like a football fan?

He's in he was in my class, he's my buddy. He also aged out. He sat by me at graduation, kinda. He was like seven people away, I think. Guys are the same age. We are? Uh I think you're older. Well, I imagine. I'm normally older than everyone on the planet, apparently. Twenty-six, dude! You went this whole time without saying my age. Why'd you stick your tongue out when I said that?

Get out of the way now! Taking my brother taking my buddy, because if if it was alone, imagine him doing this the whole this whole ride. Yeah, I would be talking to myself in the mirror. So I think we're gonna get back to it. Um get back to what? Driving. We are driving. I'm lost. I'm trying to end the episode. Dude, no. It has to be at least 45 minutes. Okay. I love pushing it with you. I don't think I care. I don't care. My fingers sliced open because I broke a TV on a dumpster. Yeah, talk to me about the last week at school because I remember that for me last year, but obviously you got to have a victory lap with uh L. Best victory lap ever. So um Did you take that sash? Yeah, it's somewhere in here. Um was it like at LV when you were uh leaving? Yeah, we we pretty much just ran show. Um just ripped it up, lived it, lived it to the fullest, greatest time ever, with the greatest people ever, got all LV going. We were always first to start, last uh first in, last out. Um the ice, off the ice. Especially Fred.
SPEAKER_02What?
SPEAKER_00First on the ice, last off the ice. That would be like uh maybe Mitchie. True. Um, yeah, but it was awesome. The dumpster got way too full. I don't know how everyone had so much stuff, but um there was rats and stuff, and you know, we had 5,000 couches outside. There's rats, dude. No, that happened after we left. That's true. Allegedly. Allegedly. Franklin Pierce does not have rats, it is awesome. Yeah, no, actually the best time ever though. Uh got to meet a lot of cool people within the past like two months. More so I knew who they were, but more so become really close with them. Yeah, that was like us. Yeah. Except I was more so a few months before graduation. Yeah, so that was really fun. Uh hung out with them every single night, so that was awesome. Um, yeah, I mean, it was just the best time ever. I loved that school so much. Now looking back on Franklin Pierce um and throughout your six years uh in college. Five! Alright, five, four, Franklin Pierce. I wish it was six. I'd go back, do this drive again. Nashville! Woo! What the hell was that on the side of the road? An armadella? It looked dry. I've never seen it on Armadilla. That looked kind of cool. It was dead. I don't know, dude. It's playing dead. It's playing dead, maybe you don't. Like that possum that was dead. What was that on the side of the road before? We're not talking about that. It looks like a cat, dude. Nah, it's fine. I don't like cats. I've never been this this uh This far west slash south. Are we still in Tuck? We're in Tennessee still. Yeah. It's so long, I told you. Did we go through Memphis yet? No. We're I think 10 miles from Memphis. We're like coming. I think this is. Oh, Little Rock. Yeah, because we go through Arkansas too. Arkansas's so pretty, actually. So pretty. It's so hard to get in. It's so nice. So wholesome. You're so good. I want you to hold me like a baby. Theo. Shout out Teddy. He just Oh, that's all he looks for. He just wants someone to hold him. We miss Teddy. Teddy's the man. Teddy and I love Wendy's and jersey mics. Uh yeah, my tongue hurts so bad. I stuck my old jersey mics in the microwave for way too long and took a bite without letting it cool off, burned my mouth so bad. Ew, you can't microwave for too long. I don't know. I microwave it for too short, and then I did it for too long, and then there goes my mouth gone on fire. There goes my lunch. There goes my lunch. Ooh! Uh uh. Um, what did we eat last night, Ryan? Oh, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Taking a fire breath. We'll get back to the Franco Pierce reflection in a second. Cracker Barrel, what's good, but another Franco Pierce reflection. There it is. Ball knowledge, guys. So, if you every time you hear a clap, it's just me and Cole High fiving. Don't know why. Um What is wrong with us? So we get to we get to uh Nashville. I keep wanting to call it Pennsylvania. I don't know why. Pennsyltucky's awesome. Um we got to Nashville last night, and we um starving, because what we did was the free breakfast at the hotel trick that morning, and then uh drove for the 10 hours. And so we were time traveling. We went back in time, time travel, of course. You go through the Kentucky uh oh my god. We go through Tennessee Tennis Tucky. Tennis Tucky and uh That's ball dollars shout out my buddy's mom. Shout out my mom! I don't know why she keeps saying that. Um we don't know why. We gotta figure that out actually. Alright, on track, back on track. We're getting these things on track. What am I saying? We go to We're hungry. Uh starving, actually. Starving, yeah. It was a long time, long car ride. And also the funny thing about the car ride is when we're driving and Cole goes, I wonder when we're gonna hit the time zone thing. Movie style, movie style type of timing, bam, signs right there. Welcome to the time change. Bam! Bam! Hour late! That's been happening way too much. Yeah. Movie style, time, timing. And then so we automatically get the hour behind, we're still starving, and then Nicole's like, you have to try this, you love your hot sauce, you love your hot food, it's so weird about it, that stuff. Bam! You're gonna try this, you're gonna try this food that you that's gonna burn your mouth. You're gonna it's gonna burn you. Um so I'm like, alright, what is it? It's Hattie B's. Look it up on TikTok if you don't know what I'm talking about. So we go to Hattie B's. Um, I start looking it up on TikTok because he told me to, and apparently there's a thing called Hooters. Yeah. Uh B R B, I gotta go look, I mean I gotta go find an Italian woman. I gotta I gotta go find my wife. Um sorry to interrupt, I had to say it. Okay. Alright, I gotta go by. Um, so bam! I go back on track. We go to Hattie B's. It's called shut the clock up sauce um on your chicken. It's the hottest sauce uh it has what 300,000 to 5 million scoville? No, 500,000 to 3 million. I don't understand the variation, but um I think your batch was definitely in the higher uh scovile. Burn the burn my insides. That's long story short. I I legit ate it. Unbelievable taste. The chicken quality, everything about that food and that restaurant was unbelievable. The service was great, the food was amazing, the chicken was cooked perfectly. Sides, unbelievable sides. The price was pretty good too. I got $20 worth of food, and it was at Chick-fil-A would have been $40. Oh, yes. And they sold booze, but I uh obviously bought the booze separately, so that was that was ten dollars, but that's like going to it's like going to out for a drink at any bar in Tennessee. But I honestly I got three beers the other day for us, $43 total, crazy, um, at the bar. That's a rehunger. Oh my god. Rehunger for sure. I haven't looked at my credit card bill after last time. So obviously, what I'm gonna suggest for everyone is if you go to Hattie B's and you get shut the cluck up hot sauce or or the one on the hot hot chicken or whatever, or hot spice level, or the dang hot chicken as well. Damn hot, whatever. Um trying to pop my knee. Oh, there it goes. Whose barn was before? It was something in Jackson, we can look it up. Okay, good, good. Look that up. Oh, my bad, sorry. Anyway, as a joke. As a joke. To the horn, to the horn! He just kills us. Yeah. So shut the clock up. Oh yeah, so one thing I would say, don't get the don't get the uh mac and cheese with it. Because first of all, the mac and cheese is hot. Get the potato salad. Potato salad is very good, it's cool, but clean your mouth off. Um, anything like that. Also, it was unbelievable tasting, very good. Um, but I wouldn't do it before you go out to the bars, especially for the first time in Asheville, because right after that, I had to shower, I was sweating, I felt that was the first time I felt my the top of my head sweating profusely, like the top of my head through my hair. Uh, first time ever uh I've ever done that. So, um, yeah, that was an unbelievable feeling. Definitely thought I was kinda dying at first. Because the heat in general, when you're eating it, you're like, oh wow, this is pretty good. And if you can't handle heat, it might be different. Cause I love heat personally. Um, but yeah, that's my story with it. It was pretty good. It was really good actually. Um, just right after my I felt like a grenade was going off in my insides. It wasn't even my stomach. It was like above my stomach. It was like while I was traveling. It was a freaking trout. And you were pacing and freaking out. Oh yeah, it was it was rough. Bam! That's my body up. POW! Went out anyway. Had had to get over the hump. Had a few drinks with my cousin once you got there. Uh, introduced it to my friend. Then we had a good time, and uh yeah, I didn't feel the hot sauce until uh later this morning. So um gotta get over the hump. I think I ate the rest of my sandwich this uh last night when I got back, so I think that also was a reason I was suffering this morning. Got up this morning at the hotel. We also got cookout after the bar. POW! Yeah, I wish we did not do that. Ah, wait, no, you said it was an experience I had to have. Yeah, it was pretty cool, right? It's like seven dollars for like seven thousand things of like nonsense. Did it no, we did another hot dog review. Me neither. Wow. So uh yeah, it was rough this morning getting out of bed. Um I thought about it. How is the season going? Anyway, um, so that's Nashville. That was my Nashville experience, everyone. And now we're about to have a Memphis experience with these drivers killing us. Every time I drive through Memphis, I'm about to get like oh, no, no, no, definitely not, definitely not the place to honk. Not a place to honk. Definitely not the place to honk. It was a touch. This city is not the safest. Oh, really? Are we in Memphis right now? Yeah, we're outside of Memphis. Oh, okay. Arkansas Little Rock. Memphis Bridge, they have a good baseball team. Shout out to Michael O'Brien, once again, uh, Chatter of the Swap uh podcast. He's on one of the episodes last year. So um I don't know if I'm staying there to be honest with you. No, no chance. Oh, yeah, and then uh Elvis is from here. Yeah, that's right. Memphis, Tennessee. Graceland. Never been, actually. You never been to Memphis? No, I've been to Memphis, but I've never been to Graceland. So what's good here? Memphis? Yeah. As we're passing through it. They have a Hattie B's here. Um I don't know. There was also some random restaurant when my dad and I drove over here. That was pretty good. Should I just get that sauce? Oh oh. Uh uh, sorry. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Missing the missing the exit right now as we speak. Sorry, I'm driving like I'm from Memphis. Woohoo! Should we hog the whole time?

That was so fun. Just that whole day was so fun. Um yeah, that was so that was so fun. I was so happy for them too. So that was uh still there. Um, I don't know. That's so tough. So many good memories. Just unlimited good memories. Especially recently, just like every single night. Even though it's the same thing every single night, play the same 35 songs, dance like a bunch of idiots, yell checks, and then everyone starts partying. Like, that's just one giant clump of memories, despite it being like two and a half weeks of the same thing. Um, I mean the boat cruise was unbelievable. Yeah. Shout out to Cardi. Yeah, like, just yeah. All of it. It's just so much fun. It's so hard. I can't pick one. I actually can't. I could go on and on and on. I could do my own all birthday was yeah, I guess that wasn't at school though. My birthday last year, that was fun. So, I don't even know. So many good memories.
