Somebody asked Lady A’s Dave Haywood about it and he said most of the time he’s focused on the task at hand, but every once in a while . . .it’s all about the Chick-Fil-A backstage…then he snaps back. You kinda drift in and out. So maybe next time you see them…take a Chick-Fil-A bag…Dave may just say HOWDY!

Garner, meanwhile, is standing firm and not changing her plans. Ben just wants turkey. Instead, he’s negotiating peace treaties.

Jelly Roll told Complex magazine that at his heaviest weight, he truly believed he was only months away from death. He said traveling nearly 300 days a year at over 500 pounds made him feel like his body was shutting down. That realization changed everything. Now he’s set a bold new goal he wants to be on the cover of Men’s Health by March 2026. From survival mode to transformation arc… that’s one hell of a comeback story.
