00:08 (dramatic music)
00:11 - Go!
00:12 - Come on, Becky!
00:13 - It's time to talk derby to me.
00:14 This is Fool's Ball.
00:16 - What in the world?
00:17 - Are you ready to beat up or what?
00:19 Tic Tac Throwdown.
00:21 (crowd cheering)
00:22 - I'm Larry Bird.
00:23 I'm Larry Turd.
00:25 Say hello to my little friend.
00:26 - The Pornholer Maximus.
00:29 I love this show.
00:30 This place is gonna get destroyed.
00:33 (crowd cheering)
00:34 - I'll set my timer for when it's time
00:36 to start kicking y'all's ass, okay?
00:38 (crowd cheering)
00:39 - So get ready for the happiest hour on TV.
00:42 Armageddon.
00:43 - And just to say,
00:44 you guys look like you're having a lot of fun at Ol' Red.
00:47 I've been at Ol' Red in other places, but not Nashville.
00:50 But can you talk about that feeling?
00:52 'Cause even just watching the episode I saw
00:56 for this season with Kelly and Michelle,
00:58 having met both of those ladies,
01:00 you know, it's great to see how much fun they're having.
01:02 Can you talk about the energy in the place
01:04 when you guys are doing this?
01:06 - Oh my gosh.
01:07 The energy is so incredible.
01:09 The energy is so incredible.
01:11 It's like full vacay vibes.
01:13 Like people come into Blake's Bar, Ol' Red,
01:17 in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.
01:19 And as you can see,
01:20 these are like celebrities that you never get to see
01:23 this side of them before.
01:24 And because the energy is so fun,
01:26 they walk in, they let their hair down,
01:28 the guards go down,
01:29 and they're just themselves.
01:30 And they're having so much fun.
01:32 And I think it's so neat that people get to see
01:34 this side of these celebrities,
01:36 as well as then the competition side.
01:38 Because let me tell you,
01:39 that energy also makes you want to compete and do your best.
01:42 - Okay.
01:43 (audience cheering)
01:43 - You're touching my toes.
01:45 - We got a good one for you all.
01:46 - Oh my God, you're still in there.
01:47 - All right.
01:48 We're kicking this competition off with a new game.
01:51 Human foosball, aka fool's ball.
01:54 - Woo hoo.
01:55 - All right.
01:56 (upbeat music)
01:59 - Carson and Blake have joined your guys' teams.
02:02 - You're welcome.
02:03 - Now every minute,
02:05 I will be adding a ball on the field
02:06 and you can score nonstop up to four minutes.
02:09 So when you score a goal, do not stop.
02:11 Just keep on going.
02:12 - Got it.
02:13 - And when a ball gets kicked out,
02:14 I'll replace those two.
02:16 So strap in your mitts into those mitts
02:18 and I say we get foolish.
02:19 - Let's get foolish.
02:20 (audience cheering)
02:21 - Let's get foolish.
02:22 - Come on.
02:23 - Act of fool's ball.
02:24 - Take your positions, everyone.
02:24 - Watch it.
02:25 (audience cheering)
02:26 - Watch it.
02:27 (laughing)
02:28 - And then left.
02:29 - Left.
02:29 - Right.
02:30 - Then we do this.
02:31 Yes, we've got our system.
02:32 We've got our system.
02:33 - Look how stupid that team looked over there.
02:34 - Yeah, it was a little stupid.
02:36 - All right, this game starts now.
02:38 (whistle blowing)
02:39 (audience cheering)
02:42 - Get it, get it, get it.
02:48 Who's gonna be the first to get a ball?
02:50 - Yeah, it's interesting seeing that competition,
02:52 but also seeing how they interrelate
02:53 to these people who have gone viral.
02:56 I sort of like that aspect of it.
02:58 Did that come, was that initially part of the discussion
03:01 of how you guys wanted to do this
03:03 and how Blake and Carson talked to you guys about it?
03:05 - Yes, so that was from day one when they brought it to me.
03:10 They had the viral VIPs in there.
03:12 And when they were telling me all about that,
03:14 I was like, this is pure genius
03:16 because I'm someone who like millions of us in the world,
03:20 scroll reels, and we all know all these people
03:23 who've gone viral on the internet.
03:24 Like literally when they've come through,
03:25 I'm like, I know who that is.
03:27 Like I've seen their video a hundred times,
03:30 but I think they add such like a great another layer
03:34 to the show and a lot of fun
03:35 because to see them mixed in with these celebrities
03:37 and people that you would never probably put
03:40 in the same room ever, and then they all have fun.
03:42 They create these like incredible bonds,
03:44 but it's the roasting part to it as well.
03:47 Like we all just get to roast each other and have fun.
03:50 And when I look at the viral VIP and celebrity,
03:52 you look at them as the same.
03:54 It's like so amazing.
03:56 All of a sudden the viral VIP is just like last season,
03:58 like telling Gwen how to do it or whoever it may be.
04:02 And I'm like, this is amazing.
04:04 (upbeat music)
04:06 - Oh shoot!
04:10 - Here we go.
04:11 - Why that?
04:12 - Oh boy!
04:13 - Come on, who can get a goal?
04:14 (crowd cheering)
04:15 - Get it, get it, get it!
04:16 - All right!
04:17 Got three minutes, 30 seconds.
04:20 (crowd cheering)
04:23 - Come on, Shuffling Shelton.
04:24 - Get him, Michelle, get him, Michelle.
04:25 - Who's gonna be the first to get a goal?
04:27 - Ooh!
04:28 - Oh!
04:29 (crowd cheering)
04:30 - It's all good, it's all good.
04:31 - Sorry!
04:31 - All right, all right.
04:32 - Michelle, grab it.
04:33 (crowd cheering)
04:34 - Oh, all right, it's been a minute.
04:36 - I'm not in the second ball.
04:39 (crowd cheering)
04:40 - Get it, get it, get it!
04:41 - Oh, goalie's out.
04:43 - Right.
04:44 - Get it, get it, get it!
04:45 (crowd cheering)
04:46 (Shuffling Shelton laughing)
04:47 - Oh no!
04:48 - I think.
04:49 (Shuffling Shelton laughing)
04:50 - Whoa!
04:52 - All right, this one's in.
04:52 (crowd cheering)
04:53 - Woo!
04:54 (crowd cheering)
04:55 - Goal!
04:56 (crowd cheering)
04:58 - He scored a goal!
05:00 - Well, I love it 'cause you see sort of
05:01 the personalities come out.
05:02 Like watching Kelly roast in a way, Michelle,
05:06 saying, "You have to hit it, you have to hit the board."
05:08 Especially with the ax throwing.
05:10 You're just like, "Wow."
05:11 But it's about deconstruction because, you know,
05:14 you're very big, and you and your sister too,
05:17 on social media.
05:18 So it's about how do you be authentic by,
05:20 and also deconstruct, but to let people in.
05:23 - I agree.
05:24 I feel like why this show has been a massive success.
05:27 It's a show that we just needed in our world at this time.
05:31 I feel like everything on TV can tend to be super dramatic,
05:35 or very serious, or not just all the good vibes.
05:38 And then here comes in "Barmageddon,"
05:40 and Blake and Carson were genius in creating it,
05:43 is because sometimes we just want to have an hour
05:45 of pure joy and laughter.
05:47 And that's what we bring to you.
05:48 And I think it's also refreshing to see these celebrities
05:51 in more of a relatable type of light.
05:54 So it's like, "Wow, Kelly Clarkson really gets down
05:56 just like me, and has a lot of fun just like me."
05:59 Or, "Michelle Rodriguez plays games just like me,
06:02 and how they talk and roast each other."
06:04 And I think it's just really great for people to have.
06:07 And I think that's why so many people are tuning in,
06:09 is because it literally makes you feel so good.
06:12 It makes you want to be at the bar with all of us.
06:14 - Spinning the wheel,
06:15 because does anybody ever turn down a drink at that bar?
06:19 It's, I'm not sure.
06:20 It looks awesome.
06:22 - I'm trying to, oh, the Wheel of Redemption.
06:24 It's my favorite.
06:25 I can't wait to see what someone's going to take.
06:28 I feel like one time,
06:30 we are about to have someone turn it down,
06:32 and the bar was chanting so loud.
06:35 And Blake and Carson were literally like,
06:36 "You can't do this.
06:37 Like, you can't turn down the wheel."
06:39 You can, but like, you're going to get roasted so bad
06:42 if you say no to the Wheel of Redemption.
06:44 So there's no other choice than taking what you got.
06:47 All right, well, Michelle, you're up first.
06:49 Pressure's on, pressure's on.
06:50 - Never happened, you got this.
06:51 - All right, all right, I got this, man.
06:53 (laughing)
06:55 She's so intense, I love it.
06:57 - Oh my God, you are.
06:58 (cheering)
06:59 - All right!
07:00 - Let's go, Michelle!
07:03 Let's go!
07:04 (crashing)
07:07 (cheering)
07:09 - You have too much power.
07:13 - All right, Kelly, let's see what you got.
07:17 (cheering)
07:21 (crashing)
07:23 - You got a point, that's right, you got a point.
07:28 - Were you even aiming?
07:29 - Kind of.
07:30 - That's worth a point.
07:31 - I mean, the thing is,
07:32 I love how they're always in the corner making drinks.
07:35 I mean, when you guys are like, you know,
07:37 'cause obviously it takes time to shoot a show,
07:39 you know, maintaining the energy.
07:41 Are you guys rallying the crowd up all the time?
07:43 What does it take to create, you know,
07:46 that sort of atmosphere?
07:47 - You know, that's where I got to give it
07:49 to Blake and Carson, like,
07:51 the fact that they pushed to make sure
07:53 that they were really in Blake's bar to film,
07:56 that energy in Nashville, it's just, it's contagious.
07:59 And let me tell you, they start it in the morning
08:01 and they go till like 3 a.m.
08:02 Like, so it's like almost 24-hour energy.
08:05 But when you're in that bar and you're,
08:07 you got Blake and Carson there the whole time,
08:09 and myself, two incredible celebrities, viral VIPs,
08:13 we have our live crowd.
08:14 Everyone literally is just hanging out and chatting
08:17 as we're like having our next game ready to play.
08:20 We're just all in this country vibe.
08:22 And I think it's because it's a real place
08:25 and has that real energy is like how it keeps going.
08:28 You're almost fired up to see the next game.
08:30 And I have to tell you,
08:31 our live crowd gets into it just as much.
08:34 They're just as much a part of the show
08:35 because they start to create their own chants
08:37 or they start to pick and choose who they want to win.
08:40 And we open up every show with Blake and his band
08:43 and we close every show with Blake and his band.
08:45 So the energy starts off amazing, it ends amazing.
08:49 And then just the in-between, it just never stops.
08:51 - All right, Ben, you're up.
08:52 - Let's go!
08:53 (crowd cheering)
08:54 - What you got?
08:55 - I'm on it, I'm on it.
08:57 (crowd cheering)
08:59 I premature, I'm premature.
09:01 I shot my water early.
09:03 - It happens to so many people.
09:05 All right, two.
09:05 (crowd cheering)
09:08 - Damn, man!
09:14 That was in and out of both holes.
09:15 - You're just teasing all the holes in all the land.
09:18 (laughing)
09:21 Right, Michelle, you're up.
09:22 (crowd cheering)
09:26 I'm just not made for this game.
09:29 - My last question, those games, I mean, you know,
09:31 the Fool's Ball, just seeing some of these celebrities
09:33 gonna hit the face, I'm like, oh my God,
09:35 but they just go with it.
09:36 Can you talk about some of these games
09:39 and how they sort of bring out,
09:40 A, you said the competitive nature,
09:42 but bring out the fun.
09:43 Because they're all over the place in certain ways.
09:46 - Yeah, I mean, I have to tell you,
09:48 I get shocked at times too,
09:49 'cause I'm like, is someone gonna complain?
09:51 But no, it's, you know, we all,
09:53 I think until you go out and have fun in games,
09:57 you realize like how much, no matter what age you are,
10:00 like you need to have that child's play in you
10:03 and you need to have it come out.
10:04 That's like, you know, they'll talk about that
10:06 when people are in therapy or all that,
10:07 like go do something childish and be playful
10:10 and bring that out.
10:11 And that is what our show does.
10:13 And we've never had one complaint.
10:15 If anything, people wanna play more games.
10:17 I was at the People's Country Music Awards
10:20 for the first time.
10:21 I can't tell you how many artists stopped me
10:23 and was like, hey, I really need to be
10:24 on your show next season.
10:25 And it was like, I was walking around as like a top dog
10:28 because everyone wanted to be on "Barmageddon"
10:30 and it was such a cool feeling,
10:31 but it's literally because when you're in that
10:34 and you're having that much fun, you don't want it to end.
10:37 And that's what those games do.
10:38 That's what they bring out.
10:39 ♪ "Barmageddon" ♪
10:41 It's time to fill your glasses 'cause "Barmageddon" is back.

11:06 that put that bike together.
11:08 You're a fool!
