Jake Kohn has been turning plenty of heads this year. From the second the Winchester, VA area native opens his mouth, his uniquely deep and raspy voice pulls the listener in, and his impressive lyricism keeps them captivated. With only three official releases to his name thus far, there isn't much original music out there that has been released in an official capacity, but those three songs provide plenty of proof that Kohn is on his way to being one of the next big artists to emerge form the Appalachian scene. In addition to the wise beyond his years original music Kohn has released, the you ..read more

The day has finally arrived! This fine Thursday night, the 2024 NFL Draft will open in Detroit, and the Chicago Bears will select USC quarterback Caleb Williams No. 1 overall. You can already hear Roger Goodell rattling off that pick in your head. What happens from there is almost impossible to predict. And that's the fun of mock drafts, too. Should I care about accuracy when it's very rare to, in fact, be terribly accurate? I did well in 2022 by hitting each of the first seven picks, and more or less nailed the eighth. All told, I wound up 32nd in accuracy out of 1,247 mocks at NFL Mock Draf ..read more

Gettin' fancy this year... It was announced this morning that Reba McEntire will host the 2024 ACM Awards, which will stream exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, May 16th at 8 p.m. EST from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Reba has won a total of 16 ACM Awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year award in 1994 (she's been nominated for it nine times, too). In addition, Reba holds the record for most nominations for a female artist of the year. She says she "tickled to pieces" to get to host the ACM Awards for the 17th time, and clearly, she's a pro, and will certain ..read more

There’s a couple beasts. Bull sharks are some of the most well-known sharks to people, and there’s a good reason for it... they attack more people than most species and like to hangout in shallow areas where people are more likely to be swimming. Bull sharks are fair sized predators, reaching 500 pounds and 8 feet in length. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest living reptiles in the world. These beasts have a bad reputation for being some of the fiercest predators in the entire world. They have a bite that can each 3,700 PSI, making it one of the strongest in the world, able to snap bone lik ..read more

I almost feel bad for the snake... all that work for nothing. They just took his meal right out of his mouth, literally. Reticulated pythons are some of the most known snakes in the world. They can grow massive, reaching 30 feet long on over 300 pounds at most. They are predators that typically live deep in the jungle, hunting anything they can from birds and mammals to reptiles. They are ambush predators, relying on their stealth to get a meal. They wait until the perfect moment and in flash they are on their prey, wrapping themselves around them as tight as they can until they have their me ..read more

Long live Keith Whitley. The late great country star is one of my favorite artists of all time, and I'll argue until I'm blue in the face that Keith Whitley would have been the King of Country Music if he hadn't tragically passed away in 1989. I mean, just look at the impact that he's still having on country music today, despite having such a short career. If you ask any of the (actual) country artists out there today who is on their Mount Rushmore of Country Music, there's a 100% chance that Keith Whitley would be in the conversation. And recently some of those (actual) country artists took ..read more

Now the internet has gone too far. Of course we all know what a cesspool social media can be. I learned a long time ago not to read the comments, so whenever people have something to say about whatever I write or say on social media, it's basically just yelling into the void because I'm not going to read it. I don't know what it is about social media that makes people feel comfortable with saying horrible things about each other, including people they've never met, but that's the unfortunate reality these days. Probably because there aren't any consequences for being a shitty person. Well Bun ..read more

This right here is a really tough look. Going to the ballpark, whether it be a college game or an MLB contest, is always a great time. And if you've ever sat in a seat where a foul ball or a home run could land, that increases the excitement level of the event. It's always fun to have the chance to snag a free souvenir. Some people (mostly children) even bring a baseball glove to the ballpark. Might as well be equipped to catch a baseball the correct way if one comes rocketing your way, right? And there's really nothing wrong with that. However, if you a) have a glove and b) are a fully grown ..read more

A snippet of what is in store for Yellowstone. Cole Hauser seems like he is the only one who has intel about what is happening with the future of the show, but even his insight still does not give when the end of the modern-day Western will be on our TV screens. Lainey Wilson and Kelly Reilly noted that they had "absolutely no clue" what is going on with the show earlier this month, and Kevin Costner, after pulling out of the show, notes that he'd potentially like to return. While fans (including myself) weren't even sure if the second half of season five would ever see the light of day, we w ..read more

What's the only thing more dangerous than an alligator? The answer is the darnedest, most vicious creature on the planet. The Florida Man. Thanks to some quick instincts from a man that calls Florida home, another Floridian is alive and doing as well as he can be after being attacked by an 11-foot alligator. And the story is so absurd, there's really no other state that this could have happened in. This dramatic, what-the-hell-is-happening encounter happened in the beautiful (and apparently alligator infested) city of Naples, Florida. One man by the name of Walter Rudder was driving home and ..read more
