Blake Shelton joked about gaining 117 pounds during quarantine. He says he wants to lose 20 before he marries Gwen. So he doesn’t let people down, Blake’s now changed his goal to losing 10 pounds. As for his quarantine mullet Blake cut it off saying, “you can't be fat and have a mullet.”

I have two of the crazy on-line rumors about Kenny Chesney. His staffers must say “the pearl is in the river” to get into his dressing room. It’s a line from the Chevy Chase film, ‘Under the Rainbow.’ The rumor that’s been around forever tho is Kenny was born with a tail but it was removed at birth. Supposedly these tails run in Kenny's family.

Growing up Carrie Underwood’s job on the farm was when a fence got trampled by a cow or the wind blew it down if dad was out of town, Carrie had to help rig the fence up till he got home. At her property outside Nashville, Carrie’s sons help feed their horses and chickens and they even collect eggs.

Tyler co-wrote the tune when he quarantined on his bus in Nov. after testing positive for COVID. He said Tim was the first guy he wanted to hear it.

In light of Walmart leaking Morgan Wallen’s album Monday, Morgan said he’d start leaking some of the songs himself. So yesterday he released three on TikTok.

Walmart’s since apologized and say only a "handful" of stores were involved and they’re removing all copies till Friday’s release date.

Most country singers pay dues and go through things to become successful no sane human ever would.” 

Minimum Wage by Blake Shelton

Yeah, I met you 'fore anyone knew my name

Playin' for pennies on the dive bar stage

Split an all-star special on our first date in a Waffle House booth

Your daddy was cryin' when he gave you away

'Cause all those country songs I played

They didn't come with a 401k

But hey, I had you

[Chorus]

You can make a six pack on the carpet

Taste like a million dollar bill

You can make a one bed room apartment

Feel like a house up on the hill

You can make my truck out in the driveway

Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac

Girl, lookin' at you lookin' at me that way

Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

[Post-Chorus]

Girl, your love is money, your love is money

Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money

Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

[Verse 2]

You can give me a tab that's always open

Give me a yacht parked out in the ocean

But all that keepin' up with the Jones'

It just ain't my style

Just give me some lights strung out in the yard

Give me a lawn chair under the stars

The top of the world's right where you are

'Cause every time you smile

You can make a six pack on the carpet

Taste like a million dollar bill

You can make a one bed room apartment

Feel like a house up on the hill

You can make my truck out in the driveway

Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac

Girl, lookin' at you lookin' at me that way

Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

[Post-Chorus]

Girl, your love is money, your love is money

Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money

Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Brett Eldredge owns 12 tuxedos &

Brett Eldredge was just at a restaurant in Nashville, eating outside and heard six of his Christmas songs played overhead. He said that was really weird. Because he’s part of so many Christmas celebrations, Brett owns 12 tuxedos but someone has to help him decide which one because he’s colorblind.

In 2008 Tim McGraw was in the movie, ‘Four Christmases.’ For the role, he gained 25 pounds but not because the director said to. Tim thought his character needed the extra weight and said, "I ended up being the only fat guy on set."

Carrie Underwood’s Ugly Lasagna

Carrie Underwood’s Ugly Lasagna
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
24-ounce jar spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce
12-ounce box no-boil lasagna noodles
1 big handful spinach
8 ounces shredded cheese
Italian seasoning
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper (and any other veggies you want to add) and cook, stirring, until the onion is just turning golden brown and the bell pepper is soft. Set aside. Spray a slow cooker with a light coating of cooking spray, then cover the bottom with a thin layer of the sauce (just enough to coat the bottom). Break the noodles and fit them over the sauce to mostly cover the bottom in one layer. Spread a thin layer of spinach over the noodles and sprinkle with the onion-bell pepper mixture and whatever other veggies you have prepared. Top with a thin layer of sauce and then a thin layer of cheese and a few shakes of Italian seasoning. Repeat layers of noodles, spinach, extra veggies, sauce, cheese and seasoning, until you reach the top of the slow cooker or run out of ingredients. End with a final layer of sauce and seasoning. Cover and cook the lasagna on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 3-4 hours. Check it periodically to make sure the edges aren't burning. It should be done within a couple of hours, but you can test to make sure the noodles are tender. When you're ready to serve it, scoop it out into bowls.

Within the first five minutes of meeting him, Summer texted her mom, 'sell my house, sell my car, send my dog.'"

Tables were spaced apart and there were sanitation stations and custom masks handed out. Everyone laughed when Jon held his right hand out not his left for Summer to put the ring on. She said, “other hand, first-timer!" Jon says Summer was love at first sight for the first time in his life.

At last night’s American Music Awards Favorite Male Artist was Kane Brown. Favorite Female Maren Morris. Favorite Country Album went to Blake Shelton Fully Loaded: God’s Country and the Favorite Due or Group was Dan + Shay.

Jon Pardi performs on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. we know coronavirus changed his May wedding with 300 guests to now only 75 later this month, in a big barn so people can be spaced out.

Early in the pandemic, Keith Urban says he felt like Jim Carrey in ‘Dumb and Dumber’ in that scene where he’s sitting in a bathroom stall, sucking his thumb. Keith didn’t know what to do and says he felt weird for quite a while.

After her tune, ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ was out, based on the lyrics, fans told Miranda Lambert they thought she’d be really mean and they were scared of her. Miranda’s like, “it’s a song and I’m playing a character. I’m really nice and I promise I won’t shoot ya as long as you’re nice.”

Finally - Kane Brown says patience is something he didn't know until his daughter Kingsley was born. He’s normally pretty carefree but with a child now Kane watches her close and is very protective.

Keith Urban's love of Promite & Miranda Lambert plants a sad tree

According to a supposed source close to Blake and Gwen, they’re prepared to get married during COVID if need be in an intimate family-only affair but that’s their Plan B. Their first idea’s to have a huge wedding with everyone in late 2021.

When Keith Urban was 10 he came home from school starving so he made a sandwich with what he could find; sour cream, banana and Promite. Promite’s only found in Australia and it’s a thick sticky spread some say tastes like either soy sauce or what your broiler pan smells like after you haven't washed it for weeks.

Miranda Lambert just planted a tree at her Tennessee farm in honor of her golden retriever who died recently. The plaque read, ‘your paws left prints on our hearts Waylon.’ Yesterday the Aldean’s chameleon Elvis had to be put to sleep due to a problem she had after laying some eggs.

Finally – when Luke Combs got married recently, he was pretty sure he’d cry when he saw Nicole walk down the aisle. What he didn’t know is he was actually doubled-over crying.

When Dierks Bentley moved his family out west in March, it was to the tiny mountain town of Ouray, Colorado, population just over 1,000. There’s several hotels, restaurants and brewery’s as it’s a tourist destination. It also has a natural mineral hot springs to soak in. Dierks says his days are spent hiking, biking, fishing with his kids and coaching a hockey team.

Jon Pardi’s fiancé says he’s not perfect. He leaves his underwear next to the hamper and she has to pick them up. His complaint with her is she wears the same thing every day; leggings and an old baggy t-shirt. Jon just added a 5th dog to their pack; Bruce, a French bulldog puppy. He joins two cattle dogs, an Airedale terrier and another Frenchie.

Back in 2001, Kenny Chesney was supposed to be shooting a music video at the World Trade Center in New York City on the morning of 9/11. But an equipment delay caused the plan to be nixed at the last minute.

Finally – Miranda Lambert’s daily farm outfit are her mud-splattered jeans and boots.

Garth injury update & Luke Combs shaves his head

When Garth recently hurt his left hand on their farm he was building a deck. As he was cleaning up and loading the chop saw, it collapsed so Garth grabbed the back end and his left hand broke the fall.

Trisha added, “it’s not the first time and I’m always happy when he comes back with all his limbs.”

Josh Turner has a free show tonight & Blake Shelton eats wild mushroom and lives

Blake Shelton found a wild mushroom on his Oklahoma farm this week. He fried it up but Gwen wouldn’t touch it cause it was covered some kind of fur. Blake was confident it was OK because he watched some YouTube videos and was pretty sure it was the edible lion's mane mushroom. Blake said the good news is it didn’t kill him. As for the engagement ring he gave Gwen, he designed it himself. Jewelry experts now say the diamond could be up to 10 carats and depending on the quality, it’s value would be between $700,000-$800,000 dollars. 

A few months into quarantine, Carrie Underwood’s husband looked at her and said, ‘You know what? I like you.’” Carrie said, ‘What does that mean? He said, “we’ve been married ten years and have two kids and I love you but quarantine’s shown me that I like you, too.’”
