I was trying to replicate that dance-off between Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.
This dude was out on the dance floor trying to impress everybody.
Trying to be funny, I said, Ill bet I can outdance that guy!
and my wife said, Go do it.
So Id do some moves, and then Id throw my hands out like I was challenging him.
I was dying laughing, but she was hooked.
Thats kind of the theme ofOwn the Night.
I thought you were supposed to chug it.
So I just downed the whole thing in one gulp.
All my friends were like, Duuuuude!
Im probably 6 and hes 3.
I felt like such an adult!
I remember just being like, F yeah!
It was pretty insane.
Theyre Nashville guys, and they can do some drinkin.
And the Kings guys were like, No, hes cool!
