Dressage Horse Steals the Show, While Going Viral at the Olympics {WATCH} – Big Red

One of my favorite things about the Olympics every four years, are the moments we get that are heartwarming and memorable. From gold medals being won, to athletes emotions as they are grateful to be there representing their country. But one moment from this weekend may just stand out above the rest, and it doesn’t come from a human. Nope, it comes from one of the horses in the competition.

Dancing to the tune of “Calabria” by Mr Lumoss, Team USA’s Four-time Olympian Steffen Peters along with his horse Suppenkasper (Mopsi), who is competing in the Olympic event of Dressage has made themselves the talk of the Olympics this weekend. And this video is one you HAVE to see!

A feel good moment, in one of the more unique Olympic Sports is sure to bring a smile to your face and anyone you show it to. The routine ultimately earned them a 10th place finish, but 1st place in our hearts.

CREATIVE OR CREEPY? A Guy Found a Way to Send Notes on Netflix After His Ex Blocked Him on Social Media! – Big Red

CREATIVE OR CREEPY? A Guy Found a Way to Send Notes on Netflix After His Ex Blocked Him on Social Media! – Big Red

So this may be one of the craziest, borderline stalkerish stories you’ll ever hear.

There was a woman name Carmen who found out her boyfriend was cheating, so naturally did what most people would do if a significant other was cheating, she broke up with him, blocked his number, and blocked him on all social media.

And of course… the story should end there, right? Nope! The guy continued to deny that he did anything of the sort and wanted to continue to tell her and plead his case, but since she had blocked him from EVERYTHING, he had no way to contact her.

So he went the extra mile, and decided to write her notes via Netflix.

Since they were still sharing an account, he decided to write notes via the five profiles you can have associated with a Netflix account (you know, the opening screen when you log on to Netflix). He kept changing the names, so it would spell out a note. Even though the notes were in Spanish, some of the notes translates into…

“I swear I’m innocent”… another one says, “I love you” and the last one says “Please talk to me on WhatsApp”… Even though this sounds very creepy, and borderline stalking – this guy is definitely persistent.

We aren’t sure if she ever reached back out, but hopefully they figure something out soon before something crazier happens!

Having a Memorial Day BBQ? Here Are Some Tips to Get that Smoke Smell Out of Your Clothes! ~ Big Red

Having a Memorial Day BBQ? Here Are Some Tips to Get that Smoke Smell Out of Your Clothes! ~ Big Red

Even though the start of Summer isn’t officially until June 20th, I think we can all agree the unofficial “kickoff” to summer is Memorial Day weekend. We enjoy days at the beach, cookouts with friends and family, and plenty adult beverages while listening to country music. But one problem we ALL run into is after roasting those s’mores over the fire, or even grilling your favorite entree on the barbecue – is the smell and stench of smoke that can linger for days and even weeks afterwards. Let’s help you change that right now!

Cleaning expert and founder of Laundryheap, Deyan Dimitrov, sat down with mirror.co.uk and shared plenty of way to get rid of that smoke smell on your clothes.

1. If your clothes are otherwise clean (and just smell of smoke), try air drying them before putting them in the wash. And don’t worry, if your neighbors are lighting up the grill, the fire pit, or it looks like the sky is about to open up, airing out your clothes in the bathroom is a perfect alternative.

2. Let’s say you are BBQ hopping during the entire weekend, and want to wear the same outfit (THAT’S OKAY TOO!) Just hang up your clothes while running a hot shower, it turns out that steam from your shower can release unwanted odors!

3. Another way to deodorize your clothes from the smoke smell is make a homemade fabric freshening spray. It’s easy and CHEAP. All you have to do is mix vinegar with water and a few drops of essential oil, then spray on your clothes, and voila!

4. The final way to get that smoky smell out of your clothes after a weekend full of BBQ’s is, seal your clothes inside a garment bag with some baking soda and leave it overnight. Then all you have to do is add a half cup of lemon juice or vodka to the wash!

Most importantly, let’s not forget the reason we all are able to celebrate this holiday weekend. Thank you to all the men and women who have served and have given their lives for this country, so we have the privilege to get our clothes all smoky.

Science and Squirrels! Former NASA Engineer Mark Rober Is Back With Another Squirrel Maze! {WATCH} ~ Big Red

Science and Squirrels! Former NASA Engineer Mark Rober Is Back With Another Squirrel Maze! {WATCH} ~ Big Red

About a year ago, I shared a video from former NASA Engineer turned YouTuber Mark Rober where he turned his backyard into an obstacle course for his local squirrels. It was one of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen, and at the time I didn’t think it could get any better. Check out the first video in his two part series.

Flash forward one year later, Mark is at it again with his Backyard Squirrel Maze – Round 2! He takes science, mixes in some of his favorite movies, and a problem most everyone with a bird feeder can relate to, and has a blast! Check it out!

Mark has become one of the fastest growing YouTube personalities in the world, raising millions for Autism just weeks ago with Jimmy Kimmel. If you’ve never seen any of his videos, go back and enjoy them. They are entertaining, fun to watch with the whole family, and you may even learn a thing or two.

Dierks Bentley Plays Private Concert For Young Fan Battling Cancer. {WATCH}

Dierks Bentley Plays Private Concert For Young Fan Battling Cancer. {WATCH}

As if we didn’t need another reason to love Dierks Bentley, he goes and does something like this for a fan. I think we can all agree we have missed live concerts, and while they are soon to be returning to a venue near you, sometimes the best concerts (even for the artists) are the ones that aren’t in front of tens of thousands of fans.

Dierks paid a visit to a young lady who is battling cancer, and gave her a memory she will never forget, a personal concert just for her. He even surprised her with a special FaceTime call with Kelsea Ballerini.

“didn’t think anything could top the recent club shows we did but that was before I got to play a private concert for my new friend Baylee Barradas. One of my hometown friends brought Baylee’s fight with cancer to my attention. Sweet girl really going thru it. hard hard stuff. Could use all the prayers.”

You can see the special moment all play out on his Instagram post.

Lauren Alaina had to cancel an appearance yesterday (March 20) after testing positive for COVID-19, she announced Saturday on her social media pages.

She was slated to perform an acoustic concert at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY alongside Travis Denning, Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis and Priscilla Block. On Saturday Night, she took to her Instagram Stories to update her fans about her symptoms.

“I am resting up and trying to feel a bit better,” Alaina continues, “Some people have it way worse than me, so I just have a little bit of shortness of breath, a really bad headache, no taste or smell, pretty bad congestion and I feel pretty tired.”

The event offered was filled to 15 percent of Rupp Arena’s capacity, and required attendees to wear a face mask at all times, and follow all COVID-19 protocols.

Wishing Lauren a quick and safe recovery!

Brian Kelley, Tyler Hubbard To Release Solo Music Apart from Florida Georgia Line {WATCH}

Brian Kelley, Tyler Hubbard To Release Solo Music Apart from Florida Georgia Line {WATCH}

You could arguably say one of the biggest stories towards the end of 2020 was the rumored split of Florida Georgia Line’s duo Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard because of differences politically speaking. Both Kelley and Hubbard were quick to shut those rumors down, and they started off 2021 with some MAJOR news! They will be pursuing solo music along with the great things they have in store as a duo in the new year.

On New Year’s Day, the duo posted a longer instagram video talking to the fans about what is on the docket for 2021 and they’re plans, also about how excited they are to be back on tour and to potentially open a new restaurant once things return back to normal from the pandemic. The Cruise singers say that the downtime they’ve had over the past year has given them a new outlook on their music. “Kinda where I landed, man, is really falling in love with my guitar, and writing songs again, even more than ever”, Kelley mentioned talking about some of the things he cherished about spending time at home. He also mentioned that even though talks of “solo music” may come as surprise to fans, him and Hubbard have been talking about this for years, also mentioning that the duo are, “really creating some freedom for ourselves” to work outside the FGL duo.

But don’t worry FGL fans, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. They will still be releasing their fifth studio album, Life Rolls On, in February, and as you can see in the video, they hope to soon be able to return to the road to perform for all of you!

So while Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard may be exploring music separately, Florida Georgia Line isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!

Granger Smith Give His Mom A Car For Christmas, Her Reaction Is Priceless! {VIDEO}

We have all seen those commercials of a spouse or loved one gifting a brand new car for the holiday season. And we can all be honest, sometimes those things sound and look a little too good to be true. But for one country star’s mother, it was truer than true. Granger Smith gave his mom the best gift he could think of, A BRAND NEW CAR!

The Backroad Song singer captured the heartwarming moment and posted the video on Instagram with the caption, “Mom has been driving the same car for 14 years. After all the years of anxiety me and my brothers put her through, the least we can do is give her something nice to drive!

She’s such a servant to others and would NEVER do this for herself. I don’t know anyone who deserves it more.”

Anytime you hear a story about a dog or any type of animal that has been malnourished, emaciated, and abandoned it absolute breaks all of our hearts. Dan and Abby Smyers have come along and provided some much needed care and fostering to a needy dog in Nashville recently. Along with the help of Wags and Walks Nashville and Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville, they have been helping Winnie get back to a much healthier state since giving birth to pups. Dan posted some pictures and videos of the process and it absolutely warms my heart.

Classic Holiday Commercials Get Revamped and I Kind of Like It! {WATCH} – Big Red

Classic Holiday Commercials Get Revamped and I Kind of Like It! {WATCH} – Big Red

Classic holiday commercials are always some of my favorite parts about watching TV around the holidays. But a couple of the BEST commercials got a little change in this year (2020) and I absolutely LOVE IT!

One example is the Hershey Kiss commercial, where the set of kisses are mimicking bells, and at the end you get a big sigh of relief from one of the kisses who worked so hard on his ending finale…

And here’s the newest remake of the commercial…

… which shows a father and daughter using one of the bell playing kisses to make some peanut butter blossom cookies.

Speaking of Classic Commercials getting a change… Corona Extra decided to play off of their classic palm tree commercial with a glass and a “clear” twinkle… Let’s check out the original Corona Extra Commercial first…

And the newest commercial for Corona Seltzer…

I know for many change is a hard thing to adjust to… but I love how these companies are putting a classic feel on new commercials. Sometimes new is better, but sometimes classic is the way to go. Below are some of my favorite Holiday themed commercials from years past…

I hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as I have!
