Hillbilly Live!

Miranda Lambert is just a normal person who ain’t afraid to show off the things she ain’t good at in life.

Cooking a pizza in a fire oven is one of those things Miranda ain’t good at too. Now I’m not judging her in anyway, because Lord knows I probably couldn’t cook that pizza any better. Cooking takes some special skills and a lot of practice to actually cook well.

Miranda posted some pictures and a video on her Instagram of her trying to cook a pizza and the caption said everything we need to know about how that went. She captioned it saying, “cooking ain’t for the faint of heart y’all!!!”

Luckily they had wine and pizza on the table…so it looks like it eventually worked out well. Wine usually fixes a lot of problems in life.

Jelly Roll was officially inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry Tuesday night, and wore a special piece of jewelry around his neck.

His girl Lainey Wilson was there to officially induct him into the Opry and he was wearing Johnny Cash’s cross necklace too. Johnny’s son, John Carter Cash, met him backstage to let him wear it for his big night.

Jelly Roll said, “he said it was his father’s favorite piece of jewelry that his father owned. He thinks that he would want me to wear this during the induction…I live my entire life somewhere between two middle fingers and the grace of Jesus Christ.  

And I learned that from Johnny Cash, you know what I mean?…I wear black because of Johnny Cash.”

If you’re going to get into a fight at a concert…this song seems very fitting to fight to.

There was a massive girl fight that broke out at Zach Bryan’s recent show in St. Louis. It was during his controversial song, “Bad News”, which fans found to be pretty funny. One thing is for certain. Music and alcohol gets people’s emotions running high.

One person in the comments said, “this song could not be any more perfect.” Another one said, “what a great song to fight to.”

Here we go.

Who’s your go-to country singer? Mine King George Strait by the way. Mainly because any song sang by George Strait is country at it’s best to me.

Now according to Chart Masters, here are the Top 10 country artists with the most monthly listeners:

1. Morgan Wallen…32.3 million

2. Chris Stapleton…26.2 million

3. Luke Combs…26.1 million

4. Zach Bryan…25.9 million

5. Jelly Roll…21.9 million

6. Ella Langley…20.8 million

7. Shaboozey…18.3 million

8. Kacey Musgraves…15.9 million

9. Dolly Parton…15.8 million

10. Shania Twain…15.8 million.

In case you were wondering, Johnny Cash was #14 with 12.2 million…Carrie Underwood was #31 with 9.7 million…and King George Strait was #41 with 8.6 million.

This is what being an idiot looks like in real time.

A fisherman was charged with a felony after getting caught stuffing his bass with three different weights. Organizers of the North Texas fishing tournament were suspicious that the fish weighed over 10 pounds, so they used a metal detector.

After using that metal detector…they found the weights. And since the prize money was more than $10,000, the fisherman was charged with a third-degree felony.

Lainey Wilson will in fact be making her feature film debut this Friday on March 13, 2026 in the movie called “Reminders of Him”. 

“Reminders of Him” is a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel. It stars Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers, and it’s directed by Vanessa Caswill.

At the premiere Monday night, Lainey shared her favorite part of about the movie was getting to work with everyone. And she looks like a natural when it comes to acting too.

Lainey said, “good people on the set, and it’s cool to know people like that exist everywhere, and are in charge of making all this movie magic. It’s good to know that good things happen to good people.”

This man is about to receive another award this coming April.

Kenny Chesney will receive the Ocean Conservancy Award at Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Festival on April 12th. He’s is set to headline that night, which will be his sixth appearance at the festival too.

He said, “to me, when people can come together to learn about the ocean, how to treat it and have a great time with their friends, that’s a total win…I’m honored if I could be part of bringing how we treat the ocean into focus.”

Since 2013, Tortuga and Rock the Ocean have raised over $6 million for ocean conservation.

I’m well aware that starting a new business is hard.

Starting a new business can be financially difficult and sometimes it’s easy to cut corners to save a little money. This one Mexican restaurant obviously did what they had to do when they took over this old KFC building.

They literally made the KFC Colonel a little Mexican. And I think he makes a hell of a face for this establishment too.

This karaoke bar was lit…and so were the patrons from the looks of it.

Dolly Parton’s music has been known to bring out the best in people. Especially “9 to 5”. It inspires people to stand up to their sh*tty bosses.

On this particular night though, that song inspired some drunks to get on stage together and sing their hearts out. The only problem is…one of them fell off the damn stage. The way they keep the performance going was pure professionalism though.
