“HEY! GET OFF HIM!” – Guy In His Car Starts Screaming At Mountain Lion Who Is Locked Down On A Deer
This deer had a guardian angel in the form of a man driving by in a car. Not the fanciest or most impressive of the guardian angels, but a lifesaver nonetheless. If it weren't for this man driving by at just the right time - and deciding to intervene - this deer would have been dead without a doubt. Instead, it was given a second chance because a "good Samaritan" (more like moron) opted to get involved. Now, when I say "get involved," it didn't take a whole lot for this man to put a stop to this attack. He saw a...
Bear Mercilessly Chases Down Elk Calf In Yellowstone National Park
It's a bear-eat-elk world out there. Nature and the circle of life aren't as fun as cartoons and movies make them out to be. Out in the real world, animals are either looking for food, or they are the food. Usually, it's both. And unfortunately for the young animals that are out there, they are the easiest of targets when predators are searching for a meal. Though animals at the top of the food chain like bears could target prey of really any size or age, they'll never pass up an easy hunt. And the creatures that are usually on the other...

Tulsa King fans and country music fans are coming together for this one. The hit Paramount+ TV show is headed back to our TV screens on September 15th, and fans can't wait to see how the story unfolds with Dwight "The General" Manfredi, who is portrayed by acting legend Sylvester Stallone. Now that the premiere date has been set, the trailer for the second season of the Taylor Sheridan show has also dropped, and it features the voice of someone you might know. Jelly Roll has been tapped to appear vocally during this season's preview of Tulsa King. In the trailer, a...
Post Malone To Perform Songs From ‘F-1 Trillion’ Live On YouTube Tonight
Can't get enough of Post Malone's F-1 Trillion? Well you are in luck. The country album that everyone can't stop talking about and can't stop blasting through their respective speakers/headphones is going LIVE - sort of. After playing some of his new songs at the Grand Ole Opry last week, and dropping into multiple surprise locations to share his new music, Post Malone has yet another trick up his sleeve. Posty made the announcement via social media that he'll be playing songs from F-1 Trillion live in the studio, and that it will be streamed on YouTube. For those that have wanted...
“I Did Her 4th Birthday Party” – Lainey Wilson Recognizes Fan From Her Hannah Montana Impersonation Days
Imagine being recognized by one of your favorite artists during a VIP set because you helped fund the early days of her career. And I'm not talking about helping her pay for a studio to record an album, but just allowing her to make ends meet. I don't know about y'all, but that sounds like a dream come true to me. Undoubtedly, country music has some of the best fan bases in the industry. When people find an artist they love, they champion them from the early days of their career through retirement. While some levels of fandom might be from...
PETA Once Demanded A Public Apology From Kirby Smart For Killing A Water Moccasin
Can we all just agree that PETA are a bunch of clowns? Now of course I agree with their mission for the most part. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Sounds great, right? Only psychos wouldn't be on board for that. But time and time again, these idiots take it WAY too far, to the point that you have to wonder whether they're actually just pulling off one hell of a troll job and they don't really care about animals at all. For the most part it seems that everybody just laughs at PETA and their nonsense. Including, as it turns out,...
Marlin Drags Kayak Angler For Nearly 6 Hours Off The California Coast: “No Way We Were Gonna Haul It Back 20 Miles Home”
How long would you fight to try and land a trophy fish? One California angler took almost an entire day attempting to reel in a marlin that he hooked while kayak fishing off the coast. Obviously, this is one of those times where you really can quote Jaws in saying, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." If Kei Vang, the man who hooked the marlin, would have had a bigger boat, reeling the big ol' fish would have been a lot easier. Instead, the fisherman and those he was out on the ocean with had to fight one of the sea's fastest...
Family Goes Viral For Taking Grandpa To Reno Strip Club For 100th Birthday Celebration
Hasn't moved that quickly since 1960. As you grow old, some people often like to sit with family and reminisce about the good memories and how they have matured. While many who make it old enough to see their grandchildren grow into adults are beyond lucky, that also often means you are quite a few decades old. Given that I am far from that age, I can't speak on what it feels like to hit those years, but as I spent birthdays with my grandparents when they hit their nineties, it's easy to keep the celebration lowkey since mobility often declines...
Watch Tyler Childers Perform “Matthew” Back In 2018, One Of The Most Underrated Songs In His Entire Catalog
The other day, we dropped this question to our followers, and I'm here to deliver a few extra words on "Matthew," one of the most underrated tracks from Country Squire... eh, his whole catalog. https://twitter.com/WhiskeyRiff/status/1818412919521980740 Tyler Childers is one of those artists who is just a vast well of hidden gems... we're talking straight heaters, heart-wrenching ballads, and others that will take you to church. There is something for the honky tonk dreamers and those who like to sit on their front porch and listen to poetic storytelling. Truly an artist that connects with many walks of life. We've seen the soul develop in...
Country Radio Told Keith Whitley That He Was “Too Country” After His First EP
Seems like we still need more country on country radio. George Strait may be the King of Country, but if Keith Whitley were still alive, I feel like he would be challenging George for that title. Whitley tragically passed away after only releasing one EP and two full-length albums during his lifetime, but those projects and his posthumous releases have made Keith Whitley a country music legend who released what's largely seen as some of the best country music of all time. He had an enormous impact on the genre with his neo-traditional sound in the same style as newcomers (at the time)...
Furious NFL Fans Sound Off About Sunday Ticket’s Hefty $700 Price Tag On The Apple Store
Are you ready for some football? Well, you better get ready to pay an arm and a leg for some football. Football season is closely approaching. You probably already knew that thanks to the crisp air that's swept across the country, or because of the fact that you've either already had or have your fantasy football draft on the calendar. We're getting really close ladies and gentlemen... the beautiful sport of football is nearly here. And for those die hard NFL fans, one of the staples of the season is purchasing and enjoying NFL Sunday Ticket. For the very addicted like myself,...
Which Military Branch Has Produced The Best Country Music Artists?
I did not serve in the Military so I can't participate in the "Which branch is best?" argument, but I do feel comfortable wading into the "Which branch produced the best country music artists?" debate, so let's have at it. There's no shortage of outspoken supporters of our troops in country music and some of the most recognizable songs to the general public center around patriotism and support for the military, but there's also been a few stars who served in the military before fully pursuing a music career. Here's a list of country music artists who served in the military, broken...
“I Wasn’t ‘Interesting’ Enough For Ratings” – ‘The Voice’ Rejected Luke Combs Back Before He Became A Country Music Superstar
This just goes to show you that these competition shows aren't exactly interested in actual talent, they're far more concerned with ratings. In an interview with Whiskey Riff from back in the day (OG fans right here), back before he was packing stadiums, earning Grammy nominations, and winning Entertainer of the Year awards, Luke Combs opened up about his experiences auditioning for The Voice, the popular singing competition show that made Blake Shelton famous. I'm kidding, Blake was already famous, but he wasn't declared "Sexiest Man Alive" until he got on The Voice. Just saying... Anyways, back to Luke. Luke could sing as well as anybody...
“Stay Gone As Much As You Can” — Dolly Parton’s Advice For A Successful Marriage Is As Funny As You Would Expect
Hey, it's worked for her for over 57 years. When you think of some of the most successful celebrity marriages, it's honestly easy to look past Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Dean. They've been married for decades now, but Carl has never been in the spotlight alongside his incredibly famous wife, so I find myself even forgetting she's been married for so long. Dolly and Carl got married not long after she moved to Nashville, after first meeting outside of the Wishy Washy laundromat in Music City, and the rest, as they say, is history. But in an interview clip I scrolled past...
“I Stand By It” – Maren Morris Says She Doesn’t Regret “Insurrection Barbie” Tweet About Brittany Aldean
No regrets. Of course by now the history between Maren Morris and Brittany Aldean, the wife of country singer Jason Aldean, has been well documented. In case you need a quick refresher, it started when Brittany shared a video of herself putting on makeup with the caption: "I'd really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life" Maren Morris responded to a post from fellow country singer Cassadee Pope by calling Brittany "Insurrection Barbie." "It's so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ons and zip it, insurrection...
How Jelly Roll Met His Wife Bunnie Xo: “I Was Immediately Attracted To Her”
Jelly Roll is one of the biggest names in all of music right now, especially after his latest album release, Whitsitt Chapel, the critically-acclaimed country project that introduced Jelly to a number of new fans. His meteoric rise to stardom has been pretty impressive, but he always makes sure to let people know that he couldn't do it without his wife Bunnie Xo. The host of the Dumb Blonde Podcast has had quite the successful run in recent years as well, and despite nasty claims to the contrary, Jelly has said that he was actually the "gold digger" in the relationship. And Jelly...
“It Pissed A Few People Off, And I Figured It Was Worth Doing” — Willie Nelson On Why He’s Stuck With His Iconic Braids
I guess that's how you know you're doing something right. Of course, Willie Nelson has been rocking his iconic braids for decades now, and he first started wearing the style around 1972, after he left the Nashville scene and went down to Austin, Texas. He was very clean cut early in his career, though now seeing old pictures and videos of him like that are barely recognizable. In an interview with Larry King over a decade ago, a fan asked why he kept the braids for so long and made them such an inseparable part of his legendary brand, to which he...
Waylon Jennings Once Had To Hogtie A Drunk & Out Of Control George Jones
Everybody knows that George Jones is a country music legend. He's one of the greatest country artists of all time - and depending on who you ask, THE greatest voice in the history of the genre. I know for me, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" will probably always be the greatest country song of all time. Even Johnny Cash once said: "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'" But almost equally as legendary as his talent was the trouble he got into during his wilder days. It's no secret that the Possum struggled with alcoholism...
Sam Barber To Release A Cover Of The Tyler Childers Fan Favorite “Jersey Giant”
Sam Barber appears to be soon releasing a cover of a Timmy T Childers favorite. Over the years, fans have been begging Tyler Childers to release the fan-favorite track "Jersey Giant." Many artists have covered the catchy song, including Josiah and the Bonnevilles, Evan Honer, and Maggie Antone. Last year, Elle King got Tyler Childers' blessing to cut a version of the song during her country crossover. While many Tyler Childers fans are holding out that one day we will get a studio cut of the song from the Kentucky native, I think we will be waiting for some more time (like...
Lainey Wilson’s Deep Cut “Middle Finger” Is Still One Of Her Sassiest, Most Underrated GEMS
Honestly, still one of my favorite Lainey Wilson songs. Her Whirlwind album is due out everywhere this Friday, August 23rd, and to say the Louisiana native has come a long way and become a country sensation over the last year or two would be a vast understatement. For me, as someone who has been following her career for years now, it's been incredible to watch her meteoric rise to the forefront of country music (though make no mistake, it's been a long journey), and you can certainly credit her for part of the reason it's become so popular in the mainstream lately. I...
