Koe Wetzel’s “Good Die Young” Is Officially Certified Platinum
Platinum. Today, it was announced that Koe Wetzel's fan-favorite song "Good Die Young" was officially certified Platinum by the RIAA, meaning it has moved over one million units since it was released in 2020: Though Koe is signed to a major record label now, he’s received no radio play from any mainstream country stations (Texas radio is a different story) up until a couple weeks ago, which makes the accomplishment all the more impressive. Of course, the song was included on his 2020 major label debut album Sellout, and if you haven't seen the music video before, or it's been a while since you...
Tennis Star Nicholas Kyrgios Is OVER Hawk Tuah Girl: “No Correlation Between Fame & Actually Being Decent At Something Anymore”
The legendary run by Hailey Welch, A.K.A. the "Hawk Tuah Girl," might be wrapping up before it's even getting started. You'd have to have been born this morning to somehow not know the story surrounding the "Hawk Tuah Girl." It seems as though a stroke of luck - in the form of an on-the-street interview - launched Hailey Welch into an inexplicable stardom. I'd guess that you've seen this TikTok a billion times at this point, but just in case, here's the viral video that (for better or worse) changed Welch's life: https://twitter.com/officalpostman/status/1804317724975431843 It took a while for internet sleuths to identify Welch, but...
Kyle Larson’s Wife Katelyn Shotgunned A Beer On The Finish Line At Indy After Her Husband Won The Brickyard 400
Katelyn Larson always knows how to have a good time. The wife of 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson has developed her own celebration after her husband wins a race, often seen shotgunning beers in Victory Lane - or even at the ceremony honoring Kyle's championship. https://twitter.com/NASCARonNBC/status/1202758274061393920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1202758274061393920%7Ctwgr%5E60f3826bddfdc4b0415dc99cd23c57d01b5328a0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2019%2F12%2F07%2Fkyle-larsons-wife-shotguns-busch-heavy-tallboy-at-nascar-awards%2F It's hard to top shotgunning a beer at the Cup Series championship ceremony honoring your husband, but getting to throw one back on the finish line of the most historic track in racing might come pretty close. NASCAR was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend, returning to the 2.5 mile oval for the first time since...
Bryson DeChambeau Teams With Donald Trump For ‘Break 50’ Episode To Benefit Wounded Warrior Project
Whichever side of the political aisle you're on, this is a great initiative. Reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is teaming up with former President Donald Trump for a golf video where every stroke under par will send $10,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project. https://twitter.com/b_dechambeau/status/1815447152371388918 https://twitter.com/b_dechambeau/status/1815447305467970034 Bryson has had players such as Sergio Garcia on before to try to break a score of 50, which means you have to birdie every hole and have several eagles on your scorecard. The fact is, it's rather easy to get under par, so it's quite a gesture of generosity to see Bryson's willingness to donate so...
Miranda Lambert Makes Divorce Sound Like So Much Fun In Unreleased Song “Alimony,” Plays It Live For The First Time
A good old fashioned divorce song. Over the weekend, Miranda Lambert started teasing an unreleased song called "Alimony," that is incredibly funny and sassy in a way that I have been missing for her. And during a headlining show at the Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California, she debuted it for the first time live and it already sounds like a hit to me. You can probably bet that it will be included on her forthcoming (unofficially announced) studio album, and in a lot of ways, it feels like the prologue or backstory to her song with the Pistol Annies "Got My...
Netflix’s Next ‘Untold’ Documentary Lineup Features ‘Sign Stealer’, The Story Of Connor Stalions & Michigan
Michigan's sign-stealing scandal and its catalyst Connor Stalions will be one of the subjects in the next batch of Netflix's Untold documentary series, which highlights some of the juiciest subplots in the sports world through dramatic-but-true storytelling. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1815431687901163597 https://twitter.com/DanWetzel/status/1815433146650763307 The Wolverines famously rattle off a perfect season and won the national championship. It proved to be Jim Harbaugh's final year as coach in Ann Arbor before his return to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Harbaugh was suspended for three games because of Michigan stealing signals from opponents to gain a competitive advantage, which the coach denied having any knowledge of. Stalions...
Olympian Tests “Anti-Sex” Beds For Athletes, Confirms They Will Not Prevent Them From Having Sex
This is when we really need Mythbusters. The Discovery Channel show ended in 2016, but thankfully we still have Rhys McClenaghan to carry on their important work. As we gear up for the Olympics, which kick off from Paris, France this coming Friday, athletes have been showing off their sleeping situation in Olympic Village, which include these luxurious beds...just kidding, they're cardboard and what looks like basically styrofoam. @aleahfinn Definitely not the finest mattress ever but it will do😭 #fyp #foryou #cardboardbeds #olympics #olympicbeds ♬ original sound - aleah The beds, which have been used at Olympic ceremonies in the past, are often referred to...
Megan Moroney And Kenny Chesney Team Up For Duet Of “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy”
Taking it back to 1999. Megan Moroney has been out on the road with Kenny Chesney this summer, opening for him on his Sun Goes Down tour at stadiums across the country. And over the weekend, they played Los Angeles, California's SoFi Stadium, where Meg also joined Chesney onstage to duet "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," which was a super upbeat and fun performance for the massive crowd. The song was written by Jim Collins and Paul Overstreet, and released in October of 1999. It was included as the third single from Chesney's 1999 album Everywhere We Go, and peaked at just #11...
Charley Crockett’s ‘$10 Cowboy Chapter II – Visions Of Dallas’ Pays Tribute To The City That Has Brought Him Both Blessings & Curses
WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF YOUR WEEK. Charley Crockett does not miss, proving once again he is one of the best in the business. Last week, hardly three months after the release of his previous studio album, $10 Cowboy, Crockett took to social platforms to share that he was continuing the story of $10 Cowboy, announcing chapter 2, Visions of Dallas, released via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers. “We recorded the songs during the same sessions as $10 Cowboy down at Arlyn Studios in Austin. Could have released a double record. But then Taylor Grace wrote ‘Visions of Dallas’ in a hotel room overlooking that city. She...
Yellowstone Fans Want To See Jamie Dutton “Win” In The Season 5 Finale
I can't lie, this wait for the second half of season five of Yellowstone keeps is damn near unbearable. Also, if we're gonna go years between seasons, or "parts" of seasons... why not just call it Season 6? First, we found out the news that there would be a delay in production for the second half of season five after there was reportedly a conflict in scheduling between Kevin Costner and the show, due to Costner's busy schedule. Of course, there was no confirmation that these rumors were true, but then it came out that Season 5 would in fact be the...
Riley Green Says A New Album Is Coming This Fall
Coming SOON. Riley Green put out this most recent full-length sophomore studio album Ain't My Last Rodeo in October of 2023, and in April, released a fantastic EP called Way Out Here that featured great songs like "Jesus Saves" and "Worst Way" (yeah, he ran the gamut in terms of topical content). And as I said at the time both projects were released, they're some of his best work yet, and I think Riley has really evolved as an artist in terms of his writing and the depth of his catalog, while managing to stay true to his pure country roots at the...
Hilarious Bad Lip-Reading Of Max Homa’s 18th-Hole Birdie Putt Goes Viral
Either way, this is hilarious. Over the weekend, the top golfers worldwide competed at the British Open Championship. Xander Schauffele of the United States won the event. He played a stellar round, finishing 9 under on the weekend and taking home a cool $3.1 million. But one moment from the course that cracked people up on social media came from Max Homa. He needed to make a sizeable birdie putt on 18 to make the cut on Friday. https://twitter.com/GolfChannel/status/1814381630171295754 The high-stakes putt on the green led to some questionable and colorful commentary from the California native, or is this viral video just a stellar...
“Adding This Into My Routine”- Lainey Wilson Pokes Fun At Herself After Ripping Pants On Stage At Faster Horses
Making light of the situation. Last night, during the Faster Horses music festival, Lainey Wilson had a major wardrobe malfunction on stage. She went full Spongebob and ripped her pants. Wilson is an energy machine when she performs, running around on stage, engaging with her fans, dancing to her songs, and putting on a show. Honestly, I'm shocked this is the first time Wilson has had a major wardrobe malfunction. Wilson made light of the situation while on stage, telling fans about the funny moment after members of her crew saw her draws showing. Wilson quickly scooted off the stage, making a quick...

Rumors Fly That Zach Bryan Bailed On Noah Kahan During Fenway Park Show
Did Zach Bryan bail on Noah Kahan? The rumors are flying after Kahan, the folk pop superstar, played two massive shows at Fenway Park over the weekend - and announced on night 2 that he had a "great guest" lined up but that "it didn't work out." @shopsunflowers i wonder who the guest would’ve been #noahkahan ♬ original sound - shopsunflowers Noah was featured on Zach Bryan's song "Sarah's Place" from his 2023 EP Boys of Faith. And Zach has frequently covered Noah's hit song "Stick Season," and the two have expressed their mutual admiration for each other numerous times. So when Noah mentioned that he...
Tampa Bay Rays SS Taylor Walls Channels Donald Trump With “Fight! Fight!” Fist Pump After Hitting A Double
Channeling #45. Obviously the video and image of former President Donald Trump raising his fist and chanting "Fight! Fight!" after the assassination attempt last weekend immediately became iconic images in American history. And his supporters have also begun using it as a rallying cry, with Kid Rock even working it into his performance of "American Bad Ass" at the Republican National Convention this past week. https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1814125462945247734 And now it's made its way to MLB. During today's game versus the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls raised his fist and began chanting "Fight! Fight!" as he made his way to second base after hitting a double. https://twitter.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1815131165193298029 It's not surprising that Walls is a supporter of the former president, after the baseball player formerly expressed his approval when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke out against transgender athletes competing in women's sports. https://twitter.com/dt_walls/status/1506430218864676868 And back in 2022 he also criticized the NFL for their ever-changing COVID policies, mocking them for putting "money over politics" when they finally decided to stop daily testing for unvaccinated players. https://twitter.com/dt_walls/status/1485052808000942086
The Story Of How Willie Nelson Stopped An Alabama Police Shootout In The Late ’70s
The one and only Willie Nelson... Country music icon, marijuana enthusiast, living legend... the vault of incredible Willie Nelson stories is as deep as it as wide. I'd just love to sit down with Shotgun Willie for a while and hear him tell these stories face to face... they're just insane. We've heard about the joint at the White House, the 9-hour sex marathon, the $16 MILLIOIN dollar tax bill that he paid via Taco Bell commercial, but perhaps one of the most interesting stories about the famed country star comes from a show he was playing in Birmingham, Alabama in the...
Xander Schauffele Keeps Company With Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus & Walter Hagen In Truly Historic Open Championship Triumph
It's amazing how quickly the narrative can change around a player in golf. Entering the calendar year of 2024, the main question surrounding frequent major contender Xander Schauffele was, "Will he ever win the big one?" Seems silly in retrospect, considering Xander has established himself as a stone-cold major championship Sunday killer. Thirteen birdies against one bogey in the last rounds of his victories at the PGA Championship and in The Open Championship at Royal Troon. Is that any good? https://twitter.com/TheOpen/status/1815076394407231629 https://twitter.com/TheOpen/status/1815082709162590585 Daniel Brown was a fun, fleeting Cinderella story. Would've been nice to see Justin Rose break through for a long-awaited second major...
Joe Biden Officially Announces He’s Dropping Out Of The Presidential Race
Well there it is. Ever since his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, there have been growing calls for President Joe Biden to step aside as the nominee for the Democrat party. Biden has insisted that he planned on remaining in the race, even as his poll numbers showed that he was lagging behind Trump in key swing states. And it's been pretty clear that Joe's lost a step or two (or twenty) over the years, as questions continue to arise about his mental fitness, including from his own party. But now, he's decided to give it up. In a letter released...
Patrick Mahomes Is Already Launching Bombs To Xavier Worthy As The Chiefs Begin Training Camp
The Kansas City Chiefs are gunning for a Super Bowl three-peat, and it looks like the chemistry between Patrick Mahomes and his newest weapon is already cooking. As if Mahomes dragging the Chiefs to two straight 'chips with a rather no-name receiving corps wasn't a scary enough thought for the rest of the NFL, GM Brett Veach f****d around and drafted the fastest man in the history of the Combine, Xavier Worthy. Not since Tyreek Hill has Kansas City had a game-changing deep threat in the passing game. Although Worthy tipped the scales at only 165 pounds in Indy, that record-setting 4.21...
