Like bears aren’t already dangerous enough. The black bear is basically the mascot of the Great Smoky Mountains. If you’ve ever visited there, you probably saw little black bear statues and decorations all over your cabin. If you haven’t been yet but plan on going (you should go), prepare yourself to see more black bear decor than you thought was possible. Millions of people visit Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park every year, and I’m not exaggerating when […]

Season 2 is right around the corner. Landman’s second act is set to release on November 16th, almost exactly a year after the show’s first season (it aired on November 17th, 2024). The star-studded cast of Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, and Michelle Randolph will return for Season two of the beloved show, and I’m sure it will be just as wild as the first season… Taylor Sheridan knows drama, that’s for sure. The […]

Country music artist and political commentator Alexis Wilkins isn’t going to take spy accusations lying down. Wilkins, who is the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has been in the news lately for a number of different reasons. She made headlines not too long ago when she revealed that record labels allegedly told her to take the American flag out of her bio. Wilkins fought back against that, and said that being patriotic shouldn’t be something that’s sileneced. And that’s […]

Gotta think he’s not too upset about the checks he’s getting for letting that one go. Larry Fleet scored his first #1 hit at country radio with the song “Man Made A Bar,” which he wrote alongside Rocky Block, Jordan Dozzi, and Brett Tyler. The song was, of course, recorded by Morgan Wallen featuring Eric Church for Morgan’s 2023 album One Thing At A Time, and tells the familiar tale of a man hitting up a bar after going through a […]

I shouldn’t enjoy this as much as I do. I’ve got a confession: I actually like Nickelback. I know it’s fun and cool to hate on them, but you can’t deny that they have some bangers in their catalog. Songs like “How You Remind Me,” “Animals,” “Photograph,” and of course, “Rockstar.” Of course Nickelback isn’t exactly a country band, but they’ve definitely been dipping their toe into the country world here lately. This past summer they headlined the Rock the […]
