In this episode, Michigan man and creative mind Carmine Finelli shares the story behind his game “How to Catch a Johnny Drip Drip.” What started as a wild idea on a cabin weekend has grown into a full-blown annual sport tournament that for a singular game that combines baseball, wrestling, and swimming in a lake. Now in its 6th year, the game attracts 30+ men, has multiple cameras and live announcing and even draws spectators on boats who gather to watch the chaos unfold.

Carmine breaks down how he plans the weekend, manages the large-scale production, and the lessons he’s learned about leadership and strengthening friendship. For Carmine, Johnny Drip Drip has become a reminder of the importance of connection, tradition, and good clean fun—especially for men seeking genuine bonds.
