Goat roping is alive and well.

Not only is Braxton Hamblen a pretty damn good country artist and a hat shaper…he’s also a pretty good goat roper.

And no goat was injured during this videoing.

Tis the season for corn mazes.

This little girl was determined to get out of this corn maze. So, she did what any lost soul should do in. You need to pray for help and good directions. That’s it.

I too also believe in prayer. Especially if I too am lost in a corn maze.

This seems obvious…but the TSA is reminding Halloween travelers that they can’t bring fake weapons and bombs through security, even if they “need” them for their costume.

I’m guessing it isn’t obvious to everyone since some idiots still get caught trying to carry real weapons through security checkpoints. I mean people are pretty dumb.

If you are flying this Halloween, the TSA has released this list of guidelines:

1. You CAN wear a costume, within reason. Comfortable, pajama-like costumes are okay…but keep the elaborate, intense costumes packed away.

As usual, you can’t be wearing anything with metal…and you’ll be asked to remove masks covering your face. You should also avoid full-face make-up…because you may have to wash it off to get through the TSA checkpoint.

2. Don’t bring any weapon-like accessories. You won’t be able to bring anything that LOOKS like an explosive…in a carry-on or checked luggage.

Prop knives, swords, lightsabers, brooms, pitchforks, and guns are also not allowed in carry-ons. They’re probably fine in checked bags…but the final judgement sits with the TSA officers on duty.

3. Powder and liquid make-up are allowed. They’re cool in both carry-on and checked luggage, but you have to follow normal carry-on rules.

In carry-ons, powder and solid makeup in quantities greater than 12 ounces needs to be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening.

Liquid makeup must follow the “3-1-1” rule for liquids…where it must be 3.4 ounces or less and fit into a 1-quart, clear, resealable bag. If you have more than that, check it.

4. Candy of all sizes is allowed. But it’s a good practice to remove any large hauls of candy from a carry-on, and place it in a bin separately.

5. Pumpkins, even carved jack-o-lanterns, are allowed in carry-on bags.

You can feel free to hit up the TSA.gov for more info.

This is how you celebrate a birthday.

Rhett Akins was officially inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, which also happened to be his 57th birthday. He had some damn people there to help welcome him into Opry too.

His boy, Thomas Rhett, was obviously there for his dad. And so was Jason Aldean, Jon Pardi, Jamey Johnson and Luke Bryan. I mean it was another regular Tuesday night in Nashville to be honest. It’s where country music lives.

Luke actually said it best when he said, “I wouldn’t miss tonight if Iran created a new covid and I got it.” I mean that’s really sweet to say to a friend on their birthday if you ask me.

I’m guessing she’s okay with hating on Italians and their ancestors.

Kacey Musgraves has always been known to be a grade A bitch to me. Yet…she wants people to be respectful to her culture and whatever she believes in. While she shits on people’s beliefs she disagrees with…and all while holding a microphone on a stage where people pay good money to see her dress like an overgrown toddler in a onesie.

She spoke to the Texas crowd during her second night at American Airlines Center Sunday (10/11/26), Kacey noted that the next day, was in fact Monday, Columbus Day.

“Tomorrow’s Monday?…Ew, that’s right, wait, it’s Columbus Day? It’s what now?”, she asked as the audience booed and corrected her, saying it is Indigenous People’s Day.

“Yeah, no yeah yeah, actually, obviously f*ck Columbus. Literally the lamest person to probably ever exist. Like for real. What a loser,” she said. “You’re a loser, Christopher Columbus, we hate you!”

Now she has every right to say how she feels…but what in the actual f*ck did Christopher Columbus do to her? Was she alive in 1492? Last I checked…indigenous people were also literally killing each other for land as well. So, the idea that Christoper Columbus came here to help start the colonization of America to just ruin this land is laughable.

Maybe I should start wearing a onesie in public when I speak to get my point across too?

Sometimes you have to ignore your emotions.

Megan Moroney doesn’t want fans to get it twisted when she asks the audience during her shows to, “scream if you miss your ex!” I mean I think she wants you to scream because she wants you to scream out of hating them. You don’t need them anymore. So, please move on.

She said, “I’m always like, ‘This is not a sign, don’t call them.’ One of my fans was like, ‘I’m going to call him.’ I was like ‘No!'”

Megan has called an ex after writing a song and she does not recommend that at all.

Have you ever wondered which country albums are the highest-selling? Well…wonder no more.

“Whiskey Riff“ put together a list based on this month’s RIAA data. Not surprisingly, Garth Brooks took three of the Top 5 spots. Selling those box sets have really paid off.

Shania Twain had three of the Top 10 albums and The Dixie Chicks also laid claim to two. Kenny Rogers and Taylor Swift rounded out the rest.

Here’s the Top 10:

1. “Double Live”, Garth Brooks (1998): 25 million

2. “Come On Over”, Shania Twain (1997): 20 million

3. “No Fences”, Garth Brooks (1990): 18 million

4. “Triple Live”, Garth Brooks (2018): 13 million

5. “Wide Open Spaces”, The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) (1998): 13 million

6. “The Woman in Me”, Shania Twain (1995):12 million
