Would the world be a better place if more people got CLOCKED for doing ignorant stuff?  Brantley Gilbert thinks so.  He just did an interview with Outsider.com this is what he said, “A lot of the problems in our society right now stem from the fact that people don’t get punched in the face anymore.”  He said it applies to people being jerks online too, and hiding behind their laptops. He referenced a video of him just the other day jumping off stage to kick a guy out of a recent concert.  The guy reportedly hit a GIRL in the crowd, and Brantley saw it.

He loves cruising around Los Angeles, but he seems to be cursed, and his friends want him to quit while he’s still ahead.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
