Dude…are you ok?
Of course you never know what you’re going to see walking down Broadway these days. But folks in downtown Nashville definitely weren’t expecting to see a man missing half his head – and it’s got locals concerned for him.
Over the past few days, numerous posts have popped up on social media and Reddit from Nashville residents who were alarmed when they spotted a man strolling around downtown Nashville with part of his head missing. Yes, you read that right.

Photos of the man have been posted online, and it’s been reported that he checked himself out of the hospital because they wouldn’t let him smoke – though that’s only a rumor at this point.
Either way, the disturbing sight of a man walking around with his skull and even reportedly his brain visible has been enough for locals to sound the alarm and try to get help for the man. Although, if it’s true that he checked himself out of the hospital, maybe he doesn’t need (or want) help…
Several users on the Nashville subreddit claim to have seen or interacted with the man, confirming that they have called 911 for help and others saying that they offered assistance and he declined, while others say that he’s been out walking around like this for years – with some reporting seeing him as far back as 2021.
Though everybody seems concerned, one comment on Reddit claims that he hospital knows about the man and has for some time, but that he’s actually fine (of course I think in this case “fine” is pretty relative).
Either way, it’s a pretty sad situation – and one that’s alarming quite a few people in Nashville who are desperate to get this man some help.

Man Arrested At Kid Rock’s Nashville Bar For Swinging His Colostomy Bag At Police
If you’ve been down to Broadway in Nashville, especially on the weekends, you probably already know what a classy place it is.
Of course that’s sarcasm. The place is a shitshow of drunken tourists, bachelorette parties drinking from penis straws, pedal taverns and party buses, and just general degenerate behavior.
But one story from a couple years back may have been one of the biggest shitshows that Nashville has ever seen.
No, literally.
It’s a story that’s still brought up in conversation around Nashville, and I see it referenced on social media and Reddit pretty much any time Kid Rock or his bar are mentioned.
I’m talking, of course, about the time a man was arrested at Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock ‘N Roll Steakhouse for swinging his colostomy bag and flinging literal shit at the police.
And if you missed it the first time, here’s what happened:
The first reports of the shitty situation came from @ScanNashville on Twitter, who posted that a call came over the Metro Nashville Police radio for assistance at Kid Rock’s venue on Lower Broadway.
Seems there was a man who was stirring up shit at the bar. And by that I mean he had removed his colostomy bag and was flinging literal poo around at others.
male took off his colostomy bag and started swinging it at others, some units have feces on them; this is third time i've heard this colostomy bag guy past two nights…
— Nashville Scanner (@ScanNashville) May 1, 2021
According to the scanner traffic, this was the third time police had been in contact with the man that night, and he had previously refused medical attention both times. Then when police encountered the man again, he removed his colostomy bag and began swinging it at the responding officers.
The poo-flinging man was eventually arrested (thoughts and prayers for the poor officer who had to transport him to the clink) and at least one officer was temporarily out of service after having to run home to make a wardrobe change.
Metro Nashville Police would later identify the man as Nicholas Newhart, though he was initially referred to as “John Doe” in court documents.
According to the police report, security at Kid Rock’s flagged down police after Newhart was drunk and blocking the outside emergency exit at the bar. Security told the police that the man was drunk and refusing to leave after being asked to move along.
Then when police arrived, that’s when Newhart removed his colostomy bag from the front of his pants and began swinging it around, hitting two officers with his feces.
Newhart already had a lengthy criminal history, but thanks to his sh*t-stirring…er, swinging, he was charged with assault on the Metro police officers, disorderly conduct (that’s putting it mildly), and public intoxication. He pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on a police officer just a few days later, and was ultimately sentenced to 6 months in jail for his sh*tty behavior.
I mean, can you imagine being out for a night of partying and literal feces starts flying at you on the sidewalk? There’s just no coming back from that. Call it a night. Call it a weekend. Call it a year. But you’ve gotta call it at that point. It’s over.
I didn’t think there was anything worse than the “woo girls” downtown, but the “poo guy” definitely takes the cake.
Drunk Guy On A Party Bus Gets Pelted In The Face With A White Claw
I think they call this move the “f*ck around and find out.”
If you’ve been to Nashville in the last few years, you know that you can’t set foot downtown with seeing a parade of party buses, pedal taverns, tractor wagons – pretty much every mode of transportation you can think of loaded down with drunk, rowdy tourists.
It’s a constant battle between the tourists who bring tons of money to the city and the locals who live and work here and have to spend their days dodging drunk bachelor and bachelorette parties as they just try to get home from the office.
And no video more perfectly captures that battle than this one.
Posted a while back by Taylor Jensen (@taylorjensen1284) on TikTok, the video captures a group of rowdy partiers enjoying themselves on the back of a bus.
The star of this story, though, is the guy in the blue shirt who is absolutely VIBING, beer in hand and clearly drunk off his a*s, trying to hype up the people in an SUV that pulls up beside him.
Obviously, wanting to share the party with those around him, our guy tosses a beer into the window of the nearby car.
And then it immediately comes flying back at him like it was thrown by Tom Brady himself, pegging the guy right in the face.
@taylorjensen1284 I can’t believe I caught this on video 👀😳 #fyp #nashville ♬ original sound – Taylor Jensen
The driver of the bus (who has a glorious mullet, by the way) then gets out to assess the situation and pick up the guy’s sunglass lenses that went flying when he took a half-full can to the face.
We can’t really tell what was said at the time, but luckily we did get a follow up from Taylor on her TikTok.
@taylorjensen1284 Party bus story time #fyp #partybusguy #nashvilletennessee ♬ original sound – Taylor Jensen
Turns out both the bus driver and the guys in the SUV reached out after her video went viral.
As we see in the video, the drunk guy on the party bus tossed an open beer (actually it was a White Claw, which just makes this all the more embarrassing) at an unsuspecting guy sitting in the car beside him.
Seems that the guy in the SUV wasn’t even paying attention and got unexpectedly soaked by the unwelcome gift, so he threw the Claw back out of the window and ended up nailing the guy on the party bus right in the face.
The bus driver, whose name was Caleb, then got out and tried to defuse the situation before kicking the drunk guy off the bus just a few minutes later.
And the kicker? According to Taylor, even the guy’s friends on the bus with him were glad to see him go because he was so obliterated and obnoxious.
Taylor also had some good advice for the guy on the bus:
“You need to learn to control your alcohol and how to act, cause that’s just ridiculous.”
There may not be any laws when you’re drinking Claws, but turns out there are consequences.
Like going viral for taking a can straight to the face.
