Morgan Wallen & Theo Von Visit With Hurricane Helene Victims In East Tennessee While Helping With Food Drive

Helping out his community. I know that much of the attention the past couple days has been on Hurricane Milton, the "once in a century" storm that's barreling down on Florida. But much of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and east Tennessee are still working to dig out from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene a couple weeks ago. The damage is catastrophic in many towns across the southeast, and so far at least 230 people have been confirmed dead from the storm. But through the tragedy, many have rushed to provide aid and do whatever they could to help their neighbors begin the long process to recover. Today, Morgan Wallen held a food & water drive in Knoxville, partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee to collect bottled water and food for those in need. And the country superstar showed up with some friends to help out and visit with those in the community who were impacted by the storm. Video shared by Radio Greenville shows Morgan, along with comedian Theo Von and University of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello chatting Patty Kell, a resident of east Tennessee who lost her home in the flooding and had to be rescued by boat after the waters began to rise. He also stopped by another resident's home that was lost to the flood, and wrote a Bible verse on the studs inside the walls that had been ripped out. Along with the supplies they collected, Morgan has also released a limited-edition "HELP" shirt available on his website, with 100% of the proceeds from the shirt going to the Morgan Wallen Foundation to support the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee and MANNA FoodBank of Western North Carolina. There's also a link for those who wish to donate to Morgan's foundation to support his relief efforts, so if you're interested in contributing you can find that here. It's great to see artists using their money and fame for good in times of need.

“Haven’t Even Spilt My Coffee Yet” – Everyone’s Favorite Florida Man, Lieutenant Dan, Posts Live Update As He Rides Out Hurricane Milton In His Sailboat

LIEUTENANT DAN HAS TIKTOK. It's about time that everyone's favorite Florida Man cut out the middle men and started posting on his own. And just in case you've missed out on this whole story, let me get you caught up real quick. There's a one-legged-man in the Tampa Harbor trying to ride out Hurricane Milton in his 20-foot sailboat. And the whole country - if not the world - is rooting for him. For the most part, its been other social media accounts posting about the man, whose actual name is Joseph Malinowski. Some people on social media have likely been refreshing every chance they get trying to get more updates about Lieutenant Dan, and now, it appears the best way to hear about the Florida Man is straight from the source. By the time you are likely reading this, Hurricane Milton - now considered a Category 3 hurricane - is hitting the west coast of Florida. The Tampa area has been in the crosshairs of the storm for quite some time now, and funny enough, the certified Florida Man that's captivated the world has his sailboat parked right in the Tampa Harbor (he's insisted that God told him to be there for this). And in a live update we just got a little bit ago from Joseph Malinowski himself, things were all good in his sailboat about an hour and a half before the hurricane was set to hit the area: "They're saying the storm is about an hour and a half out, and if that's the case, even its double what it is now, that's not a problem. I'm not free floating. I've got my bow secured (to the dock), so I can only go so far from the dock... No structural damage, I'm not taking on any water. Everything is safe, hasn't been bad. I haven't even spilt my coffee yet." No fear. He even went on to say that dealing with social media requests and news interviews has been worse than actually battling the hurricane. Though he did say that he was honored to be a story that's spreading around the world: "Things are going to change. I didn't plan this, I didn't expect this, but this is what God's plan was for me - to bring the country together, to bring the world together."

Godspeed Lieutenant Dan, Godspeed. All I know is that I'll be keeping my eyes glued to his TikTok account for more updates. It seems as though everyone (maybe except for city officials that tried to get him to evacuate) on social media is rooting for the Florida Man to make it through Hurricane Milton unscathed, as you'll see in some of the posts below cheering him on:

Luke Grimes Says Fans Won’t See The ‘Yellowstone’ Finale Coming: “Never Would Have Come Up With This One”

Soon enough, Yellowstone fans will get to see their favorite show come to a bittersweet end. The back half of Yellowstone's season five will finally begin airing in November of this year. It’ll be a six-episode installment, and after that, the Yellowstone universe’s staple show will be wrapped up. Fans can find some comfort in the fact that there are still spinoffs in the works - and a couple of different additional Yellowstone-universe shows being teased. For those that don't like to wait, you are more than welcome to read about the ending that leaked online not too long ago. We'll obviously have to wait and see if it all ends up being true, but if it is, the series finale is bound to be one of the wildest conclusions to a story that TV has ever seen. Luke Grimes - who plays Kayce Dutton in the show - assured fans that the ending will be satisfying for the Yellowstone faithful when speaking with Newsweek. He also stated that Taylor Sheridan was really "in his bag" when he brought the whole story to an end, saying: "I think true to Yellowstone's form, (fans) won't be able to see it coming. I feel like that's the kind of beauty of Taylor's writing and it's always so surprising. It's never what you thought it was going to be. But I think everyone will be really satisfied with, you know, if I would have tried to come up with an ending, I never would have come up with this one, but it's the perfect one. Because I'm clearly not a writer and even if I was, it would not be as good as Taylor. But yeah, I think it'll just be very satisfying because it's, I mean, that's what you want. That's what you want. And the ending of a great show is something unpredictable and satisfying." I'll speak for all Yellowstone fans and say that it better be a satisfying ending. You can't leave people waiting for this long to conclude a show and then lay an egg with the series finale. Thankfully, if we can trust Luke Grimes (and I think we can), it appears as though Yellowstone's conclusion will be well worth the wait. Yellowstone returns for its finale season on November 10th, on Paramount Network: https://twitter.com/Yellowstone/status/1803835206136160456

“16 Years Old, A Virgin… I Was Going To Change It That Day” – The Story Of How Viral Florida Man “Lieutenant Dan” Lost His Leg Is A WILD One

What a story... somehow, it's even crazier than I could've imagined. And I imagined it being pretty dang wild... If you've been on social media at all this week, and especially TikTok, you've probably seen clips and interviews with a man in Florida, a viral sensation at this point, who goes by the name "Lieutenant Dan." The one-legged-man currently calls a 20-foot sailboat home, and he's apparently refusing to leave the area with Hurricane Milton currently about to make landfall, because God told him to come there in the first place. His argument is that he's on a boat, and when the water starts to rise, he and his sailboat will just rise with it:

Obviously, there were mandatory evacuation orders in the Tampa Bay area, where his boat is on the bay, in order to keep Floridians safe. I saw another video of a police officer stopping by the other night telling Dan he needed to leave, though as of this afternoon, with weather conditions quickly getting worse, he is still there in his boat.

@tiffanytravels07 @Reed_toney did a great job keeping us informed on Lt. Dan @JoeSea . Now all we can do is keep him in our prayers.🙏🏽 #milton #tampa #liuetenantdan #hurricane #weatherchannel #stayfafe ♬ Inspirational - neozilla

He did say that he'd be willing to leave on one condition: that he have a woman to hang out with (I'm keeping it PG), until the hurricane was over. Unfortunately for him, it seems like that didn't exactly work out, and hopefully he can quite literally weather the storm and come out unscathed. Of course, he got his nickname from the internet recently because of the fact that he got he looks like Lieutenant Dan from the movie Forrest Gump since he has only one leg, and that same sort of spirit in terms of surviving, and he lives on a boat, and the movie character works on one. There are obvious similarities, and it's a pretty great nickname, I have to say... though his real name is Joseph Malinowski. But I think a lot of people were wondering how he lost his leg since he's become pretty much famous overnight, and a TikToker named Terrence, who met him last week, gave everyone the story on TikTok. Naturally, it all started on the day Joseph was supposed to lose his virginity and do the dirty deed with his girlfriend for the first time. He scootered over to the local jewelry store to buy her a gold chain as gift for the occasion, but he took his eyes off the road for one second on the way to her house, and ran into a car: "16 years old, and I was a virgin. I was going to change it that day. Me and my girlfriend had it all worked out. And on the way to her house, I'm driving my scooter, and I took my eyes off the road for a second. I had just stopped at the jewelry store and picked up a gold chain for her, I'm on my way to her house, and we had a family friend that owned a gas station... so I took my eyes off the road to see who was working that day, and when I came back around... a car stopped right in front of me. I ran into him doing about 45, went up, hit my leg on the back windshield, shattered that, broke my femur, had a compound tib and fib fracture." But as luck would have it, a "beautiful blonde girl" saw it all happen, and rushed over to comfort him. Joseph says it was in that moment that he knew he would be just fine: "As I'm laying in the middle of the street, and I'm hearing cars screech, this beautiful blonde showed up net to me. and she kneeled down beside me and started stroking my hair, I had hair then, nobody comment. And she outs her left hand on my thigh, and she's telling me everything is going to be okay, everything's gonna be fine, you're gonna be okay. and she's looking my dead in my eye, and I just knew that I was gonna be alright, and I'm expecting to be home in time for dinner." He goes on to say that he thought they would just give him a cast and he'd be home in time for dinner, though a few minutes after he got to the hospital, his mom showed up from upstate New York, along with other family, and he realized it was more serious than just needing a cast. The video cuts off there, and I couldn't find a part two, but I'm assuming that they had to amputate part of his leg in order to save him and that's how it went and he ultimately lost the bottom part of his leg. I'm guessing he was still a virgin at the end of that evening as well, but jeez... you just cannot make stuff like this up. Watch him tell it himself here, and stay safe out there Lieutenant Dan.

WATCH: Tyler Childers Takes Audience To Church With Intimate Show At Kentucky’s Country Boy Brewing

That's one helluva way to spend your Tuesday night. Last night, Tyler Childers performed an intimate show at Georgetown, Kentucky's Country Boy Brewing. The show had little publicity and sold a limited number of tickets, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. https://www.instagram.com/p/DA56WjYOahM/?img_index=1 And turns out, it was a full circle moment for Timmy Tyler: "Country Boy Brewing met Tyler Childers for the first time when he played a UK Craft Beer Conference pre-party in our Lexington brewery on February 14, 2014. A lot of songs, years, and beers later, we are still friends. When Tyler asked us to host this livestream that was near and dear to his heart, we jumped at the chance because that's what friends do." https://www.instagram.com/p/DA3fJtLCG6F/?hl=en&img_index=2 Childers took the intimate crowd to church as he performed in the middle of the brewery, even bringing pieces from his stage set up to the small crowd. He was sure the iconic TV and the Food Stamps were on stage with him. The homecoming show was filled with die-hard fans, and the brewery roared with Childers as he sang each word. They were a respectful crowd, knowing when to sit and listen to his craft and belting out the lyrics alongside him at the perfect times. With the setlist opening up with "Shake The Frost," fans were in for a special night as he performed songs from his entire discography and pulled out some he doesn't typically perform, like "Honky Tonk Flame." Seeing Childers in an intimate setting like this transports you back to 2017 when he belted out lyrics to a packed venue at Basement or Exit In in Nashville. He knows how to captivate a crowd, no matter the size. I could sit here all afternoon and type about how stellar the show was, but let's be honest; most of you will scroll straight to videos to start consuming the goodness he threw down on stage. So, I'll close my mouth and let the video footage do the talking. PS, you can watch the full stream HERE. Fire all of these up.
