Miranda Lambert’s Favorite time of year is summer and the 4th of July… “I love holidays in general, but Fourth of July is…summer is my favorite time of year, so Fourth of July is probably one of my favorites because I…my favorite firework is sparklers.

Luke Combs says there were many different people that really shaped his singing or taught him how to sing early on.  Vince Gill and Clint Black and Garth (Brooks) and stuff like that.  But surprisingly he says As he got to be 10, 11, 12, it was more like Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC kind of thing. Well, I bet HE’S the influence on many young singer today.

The List for Wednesday, December 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Is Tom Bergeron coming back to Dancing with the Stars? Naughty But Nice says producers are seriously considering it. After his recent return, insiders say the crowd went nuts, ratings spiked, and backstage felt like the glory days. Now they want him to cross over from judge to contestant. One source said Tom didn’t just come back, he stole the show. And now they want him to steal the Mirrorball. Fired. Rehired. Rebranded. That’s a glow-up.

Thanks to Zootopia 2, the Indonesian pit viper is suddenly a trendy pet in China. Small issue though. It’s highly venomous. Chinese state media is now begging people to stop buying them. Because nothing says “bad idea” like letting a children’s movie convince you to bring home a snake that can medically ruin your week. Darwinism, at it’s finest….

Jelly Roll told Joe Rogan something wild. He says he thought he was colorblind for over twenty years. He could see basic shades but didn’t realize how colorful the world actually was. After losing weight and cutting out sugar, something changed. The moment it hit him was when he noticed a “new” purple tulip in his yard. His wife laughed and said it had been there for two years…HD vision unlocked.

Morgan Wallen told Country Now that becoming a dad completely changed his mindset. He admitted there was a time when he didn’t care who his actions affected. But once his son was born, he started thinking about the world differently and who he spends time with. That’ll do it. Nothing grows you up faster than realizing someone’s watching everything you do….and bolting down a few chairs…

Sad news…Buck Rogers star Gil Gerard has died at the age of 82 from cancer. Gerard played Rogers on the NBC series between 1979 and 1981
