“You, Me, And Whiskey” ..Is a great song from Justin Moore and Priscilla Block. They just released the video for the song and Justin says it’s pretty spicy. “It’s definitely the spiciest, sexiest, most sultry, whatever you wanna say, video that we’ve done. And in talking to our team about what we wanted the video to look like, it just kind of lent itself to that, to me, and we haven’t done that. And so I thought it was kind of cool, and I didn’t have to take my clothes off and get in bed, so that’s even better. It wouldn’t be that had I had to.” which is why he hired two actors to play the married couple.

Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
