The full worthiness! With Chris, he’s worked so hard on that. It’s so many squats! It’d be depriving humanity if I didn’t show that. The movie is out on July 8^th

Who say THIS coming…Jimmie Allen has an addiction…to BOWLING!! He got addicted during the pandemic.  How bad is it? He practiced eight hours a day, five days a week . . . and now he’s in five different bowling leagues, and plans to try out for the Professional Bowlers Association. So how does he do this while maintaining a singing career, and being married with three kids?  Quote, “I only sleep about three-and-a-half hours a night.  If I get two, I feel like I’ve slept.”  (Jimmie’s third album, “Tulip Drive”, is out today.)
