Hillbilly Live!

Rather you like this or not…it was American AF.

Pat McAfee asked Zac when he was on his show, “Let’s talk about this weekend. UFC Freedom 250 event. When you get asked about that, what are your initial thoughts and obviously, if it’s at the White House, there’s gonna be some sort of political potential conversation surrounding it. What are you hoping of the event, and what are you most excited about to get out there? ”

Zac said it best too as he said, “I’m there for the troops, man. I’m there to honor America. This is patriotism, not politics for me. F*ck all the division. I don’t believe in that. I love this country, I love all the people that have sacrificed so I can live my American dream and that everyone who lives here gets the chance to do that if they work hard, make the right decisions.”

Celebrating our country when asked to do so should have nothing to do with politics. And Zac touched on that as well saying, “It doesn’t have a place in politics for me. There are gonna be 8,000 active duty service members that are gonna be there, I’m a massive UFC fan…it’s my favorite sport. I’m honored that Dana [White, UFC CEO] has given me the opportunity to do this.”

Zac also said that they would be singing the national anthem with the Marine Band, which he said is “an honor.” It filled my patriotic heart and it was bad ass to say the least.

I’ve always been a sucker for a good old fashioned duet and we have one here.

Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert released a duet called “Someone Else’s Arms”. It’s part of Brad’s ongoing project, “Tacklebox”. Now instead of dropping a traditional album all at once, he’s putting out unreleased tracks from the vault that are either from his ’90s catalog, or were written more recently and were inspired by that sound.

Either way…Brad is putting out some fine country music y’all.

This is sad news.

Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo back on May 18th after almost 10 years of marriage. A source says it’s a mutual decision between the two of them and a private family matter. They got married in August of 2016. 

Their relationship had its share of ups and downs, including Jelly’s infidelity and a brief separation. As of last night, neither of them have made a statement.

Jelly Roll is currently on his Little Ass Shed Tour and with Post Malone.

If you’re a fan of the “Jackass” franchise, you’re probably familiar with the song “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough”. 

The song was originally by Johnny Knoxville’s cousin, Roger Alan Wade. Now for the upcoming movie, “Jackass: Best and Last”, Billy Strings was tapped to cover it. And it sounds so damn good too.

Billy is also a perfect choice considering he’s recovering from a broken leg from skateboarding. The final “Jackass” movie hits theaters on June 26, 2026.

This is just in time for his final show in Nashville on June 27th.

Alan Jackson’s Silverbelly Whiskey is opening a distillery and museum in Nashville on the 25th. The whiskey will go from barrel to bottle onsite, and guests can enjoy a glass while touring the museum of memorabilia. 

If you’re in town for Alan’s final show on the 27th, you can get tickets at AlanJacksonMuseum.com. And your probably should.

Some sports fans are obviously not very intelligent and they don’t the same sense that God gave a jackass.

In case you missed it. The Knicks did in fact beat the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night (6/13/26) in game five to win their first NBA Championship title since 1973. It happened in San Antonio, but that didn’t dampen the mood in New York City at all. Fans flooded the streets and, well…they literally started destroying stuff.

Fires were set and vehicles were destroyed…including five school buses that were hired to transport World Cup fans from MetLife stadium.

At least 10 cops were injured, dozens of people were arrested, there were huge fights, a teenager was shot, and there were four slashings or stabbings.

One of the most entertaining parts of the World Cup is seeing international visitors’ reactions to places we take for granted here in America. One such treasure they’re loving is Buc-ee’s.

There’s even shuttle buses taking players and fans to visit.  A round-trip ticket is $20.

One fan from Scotland said, “a place like this could ONLY exist in America and I LOVE it.”

There’s also a player from Germany named Freddy who has been going viral for documenting his trip and loving every moment of it. In addition to shouting out Buc-ee’s, he also shared photos of Waffle House, Taco Bell, and Walmart.

Freddy also shared how he and his teammates discovered Ella Langley’s music, and she’s become the soundtrack to his trip. Well, when she learned about her new fans, she personally invited them to one of her shows.

If you’ve ever said, “they just need to sing the National Anthem the way it was written and don’t put their own spin on it”, actually happened y’all.

Dan + Shay performed live rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the pre-match opening ceremony for the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) match against Paraguay. And it was absolutely f*cking amazing. It filled my patriotic heart.

They didn’t need any music to accompany them at all. It was performed a cappella and Shay’s voice was meant for this. To be honest…Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney should be asked to sing our National Anthem at every major sporting event.

When Shania approves of the cover of her song…that obviously means it’s that good.

Ella Langley posted a video of herself singing a stripped-down cover of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” on piano. She wrote in the caption, “I’ll never get over this song.”

Well, Shania saw it and gave it her approval. She commented saying, “so flattered. Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx.”

Sometimes you can put your head against a woman’s belly and hear a baby’s heartbeat. And sometimes you can rest your head there and you can literally hear the “Heartbeat Song”, by Kelly Clarkson. 

A woman on TikTok is going viral for revealing that she accidentally swallowed her AirPod.  She was grabbing her vitamins from the table, and inadvertently added an AirPod to the pile.

She didn’t realize it until she sat in her car, and it said that her AirPod was connected. She realized she didn’t have her AirPods with her…or so she thought.  She slowly came to the realization, and freaked.

She called poison control, and they basically said she should wait for it to pass, and go to urgent care if she experienced any pain. So, the woman kept posting updates over the next few days…and her followers anxiously awaited good news from her bowels. But it never came.

Her stomach was feeling increasingly messed up due to laxatives and stress, and on day five she finally went to the doctor to get an X-ray to figure out if it was still stuck inside her.

It was not. She evidently passed it without seeing it. In an interview, she admitted that she didn’t “give up” looking for it . . . but her stomach was upset so it got to the point where “searching” wasn’t reasonable.

This all went down last week, and she’s since recovered. She said she hasn’t replaced the AirPod yet…but she will.

Someone did ask her if she would’ve used the AirPod if she would’ve found it, and she said she did think about that…but she said she would’ve had to assess the damage first.
