Taylor Sheridan isn’t just setting up shop in Texas… he’s quickly becoming one of the state’s largest landowners. The writer, director and creator of shows like Yellowstone, its prequels 1883 and 1923, and his most recent hit Landman, has long been a supporter of the state of Texas. And it’s the state he currently calls home, living in Weatherford, Texas at his Bosque Ranch. He also sometimes resides at his 6666 Ranch in Guthrie, Texas – which was featured in the Yellowstone series. It’s actually those two […]

Sounds good to me. With the news that Nashville will be hosting Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, it’s been widely-anticipated that Music City would be awarded a Super Bowl soon after the completion of the new Nissan Stadium, which is set to open in 2027. Leading up to the announcement, NFL executive vice president of events Peter O’Reilly and Commissioner Roger Goodell, have both openly talked about how excited they are that the Tennessee Titans are getting an upgraded stadium, […]

Lainey Wilson is going to really on her gut and her husband when she makes her College GameDay picks this weekend. College football is officially back. Soon we’ll all be rotting away on our couches on Saturdays and Sundays, consuming an inordinate amount of calories and deleting a concerning amount of beers.

For 17 years, Rachel McCartney had set aside a music career and all the anxiety and uncertainty that came along with it. If you were at Rachel’s recent album release, you were treated to some Rachel & Brian classics that lit up the WERS Coffeehouse in the early 2000’s. I am so thrilled that Rachel’s released new music and am very excited that she agreed to be on the podcast today.

Austin was one epicenter of that creative experimentation, and one […]
