STUPID HILLBILLY NEWS: It’s National Sloppy Joe Day…Do You Prefer Yours “Open” or “Closed”?

If you’re looking for an easy dinner tonight, you’re in luck, because it’s National Sloppy Joe Day.

The origin of the Sloppy Joe isn’t 100% clear. One claim says it started in Havana, Cuba in 1920, when a bartender named José “Sloppy Joe” Otero created it as a simple sandwich version of a local dish called “ropa vieja,” which features shredded beef, tomato sauce, and spices. And it’s a damn fine delicious meal too. And thank you, José.

Now whether that’s where it really came from or not, it became increasingly popular in the 1960s…and in 1969, Hunt’s introduced “Manwich,” which made Sloppy Joes way more convenient to make. I had plenty of it growing up…and proudly.

By the way, a poll online asked, “how do you like your Sloppy Joes, open or closed?”  84% of people say they like it “closed,” or with two pieces of bread, like normal. The other 16% say they prefer it as an open-faced sandwich.

LANCO’s Tour Bus Caught Fire And Was Completely Destroyed Near Des Moines, Iowa

This is a scary ordeal and luckily everyone is okay.

On Sunday night, March 15, 2026, the country music group LANCO‘s tour bus caught fire and was completely destroyed near Des Moines, Iowa. The band members and crew luckily escaped injury because they had decided to stay in a hotel due to a winter storm rather than sleep on the bus.

The band and crew was traveling from a show in Des Moines toward Nashville when they decided to pull over due to the weather. The blaze broke out early Monday morning while only the bus driver was onboard and thank God he managed to escape with only minor injuries.

While the equipment trailer was fortunately spared, the bus itself was a total loss, and several instruments and personal belongings inside were also destroyed. Overall everyone was okay.

LANCO’s frontman, Brandon Lancaster, shared a video of the charred remains of their on Instagram, stating that “God was watching over us” and that the situation could have been much worse if they had been sleeping inside at the time.

Ella Langley Ties With Taylor Swift For This Billboard Record

I don’t think there’s any slowing this woman down right now and this song is life changing for her.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” tops Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for a third week. She ties with Taylor Swift for a unique record too, which is the most weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 for a song by a woman that also hit #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

For Taylor, it was “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012. Taylor didn’t officially leave country until 2014…and I still remember that like it was yesterday too.

Kelly Clarkson’s Cover of Tanya Tucker’s “It’s a Little Too Late” At RodeoHouston Was Flawless

This woman knows her audience. Especially at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

In case you didn’t know, Kelly Clarkson is pretty well known for being amazing at performing covers. And her performance at RODEOHOUSTON is no exception. She covered Tanya Tucker’s “It’s a Little Too Late” and she sounded flawless.

I also don’t know why Kelly doesn’t just record an album of cover songs. I’d buy it and I more than likely wouldn’t be the only in doing so. Give us a cover album, Kelly. Pretty please.

After All Of The Years In Mutton Bustin’ At The Houston Livestock Show And Rodeo…The Sheep Are Finally Fighting Back

The Houston Rodeo draws in a lot of fans every single year.

People obviously come for the music, food and the rodeo action. Mutton Bustin’ is also a popular event at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, featuring children riding sheep. And it’s been a staple at the Houston Rodeo for at least 16 years…and families show up to watch their babies ride them sheep too.

Little Willow Webber from Katy, TX did her best in the mutton busting’ ride and then damn sheep decided to fight back. Luckily she got up and she’s fine after her encounter with the sheep.

Chris Young Is Opening a Bar in Midtown Nashville

Apparently Broadway is to crowed for this man’s new bar.

Chris Young is opening a bar in Nashville’s Midtown neighborhood later this year. He named it after his hit song with Kane Brown“Famous Friends”.

He said, “I’m very excited for Famous Friends to be open in Nashville! I have been working on this as a passion project for a while now.  A sports bar that will be Nashville famous for a reason. Something completely different where you can bring all your friends for a great time!”

Hopefully he doesn’t get himself arrested due another incident with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, because that would be embarrassing at his own bar.

STUPID HILLBILLY NEWS: A Man Got a DUI After Drunk-Driving a Golf Cart

One of the stereotypes of Florida is that it’s packed with drunk elderly people driving golf carts around. And it’s apparently true.

A 65-year-old man in Florida named James Prante called 911 earlier this month, after his wife fell out of their golf cart…hit her head…and was unconscious.

When the cops arrived, they noticed that James appeared intoxicated. He admitted that they had been “partying at the club” since noon. It was around 9:00 P.M. at the time…and he failed sobriety tests. 

He was arrested and charged with DUI with serious bodily injury. Thankfully, his wife should be okay. She’s in the hospital in stable condition.

They were not on a golf course at the time…this was a regular street. So, officials are reminding people that you can’t drive anything after you have been drinking. It’s dangerous for you and everyone around you.
