TRAVIS DENNING and MADDIE MARLOW of Maddie & Tae once shared a moment that they’ll never forget.  Unfortunately, it’s not a good moment.  It’s the time they were on a plane . . . and he threw up on her. It came up on an episode of his new variety series, “Travis Denning and Friends Do Stuff”.  Maddie and Tae were the guests and they ate spicy Nashville chicken while swapping stories.  They did a show in Augusta, Georgia and went out for tequila shots afterwards.  The next morning he was feeling sick but they had to catch a flight.  He was ON the plane sitting next to Maddie when they knew he was going to lose it.  From then on, it was like, ‘we’re brothers for life, forever.'” Maddie agreed.  She added “If you don’t puke on each other, you ain’t real friends.”

 

 

CRAIG CAMPBELL wants you to do the “TikTok Bottle Top Challenge.”  If you haven’t seen it, you hold two bottles of beer in one hand, and then kick your heel into one bottle so it pushes the top off the second one. He posted the challenge last month on TikTok . . . and you can also see it in his “Good Things Come to Those Who Drink” video, which came out yesterday. He says, quote, “We had the concept of tying in a dance with a TikTok challenge, and shout-out to my team.  We put the wheels in motion and made it all happen.”

 

 

It’ll be a family affair when LEE BRICE gets back on the road again this year.  He says, “We’ll probably find something really cool to do.  We try and keep that to where it’s a special thing.  The kids think it’s a big deal to come out on the bus, and we want to keep it that way.
