The List for Friday July 24th 2020

Welcome to The List -

We start your Friday with a Country star that says he could handle a few more kids around...here's Thomas Rhett "Thought that adding three to the mix would be a lot harder but it really just tacks on a little bit to the chaos. I think when you have more than two kids, you could have five, six, seven. I mean, it does get harder but I think that as they kind of become into that one and a half year old to two year range it starts to get little bit easier. I would say the infant stage is definitely the hardest.
