Welcome to The List –
Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard says he has two full time jobs, one is being an entertainer and the other is watching his children grow up. “We’re really fortunate. We do have a great nanny that helps us out quite a bit, but even with extra hands, a lot of time it’s all hands-on deck with three kids. But it’s fun and it’s a challenge that we really, really enjoy. And these are some tough years but havin’ ‘em close together is gonna be a lot of fun. It already is.”
Darius Rucker Says, his hit “Beers And Sunshine” Nearly Had A Different Title … “After I wrote it, I had a moment of thinking about changing it to ‘Tequila and Sunshine,’ because a buddy of mine thought it was a much better idea, and he still says it all of the time. But the more I thought about it, I thought ‘Beers and Sunshine’ was the way to go.”
Fast and the Furious star Ludacris recently had his Mercedes-Benz stolen at an ATM in Atlanta. The rapper left his car running while he was getting cash. The thief jumped in and took off. Ludacris did not see him. Cops used a tracking device to find the Benz in a parking garage. It was returned to Ludacris.
“Wheel Of Fortune” Star Vanna White talks to Drew Barrymore about her relationship with Pat Sajak. She calls him her ‘work husband’ the only argument they ever had was over hotdogs. “It was over putting catsup on hotdogs, do you put catsup on hotdogs? Anyway that’s what he said, you do not put catsup on your hotdog.” Drew is a mustard girl so, she’s on Pats side…I like both sometimes.
And finally, Jimmy Fallon says Tyson is releasing heart-shaped chicken nuggets for Valentine’s Day. “Get This Tyson foods is releasing heart shaped chicken nuggets for Valentines day. Or as I say if you want to keep it classy go with the standard scratch off ticket and beef jerky”.

What a pleasure it was to talk with Ira Dean. The interview was recorded in August when Iowa was dealing with "corn sweat". We talked about how he got his job with Tanya Tucker, I asked him about Trick Pony and how Heidi Newfield join the group.
Ira shared how he met Johnny Cash, his wife June through their son John Jr. So many great stories one that hit Ira pretty hard-a conversation he had with Charlie Daniels.
His current single was a tribute to his mom who had recently passed. Then he shared about this new song...Tel-Man!!
