Welcome to The List,
Today we learn something new about Mitchell Tenpenny. He tells Billboard magazine that he used to steal his sister’s pants to go to metal shows. Saying he grew up on country music but also loved metal and rock as well. Back then they didn’t have skinny jeans unless you bought like Diesels and he couldn’t afford them, so he had to go steal his sister’s or aunt’s jeans to look cool.”…”Mom! Mitch stole my jeans again!!”

Buzz still surrounding Tom Brady as to why he mysteriously went missing for a couple weeks from the Buccaneers…he says he did not tape an episode of ”The Masked Singer”.NY Post quotes him as saying, I wasn’t masked and I’m not a singer.
