National Wear Read Day\u00a0encourages people to wear red to raise awareness about women’s heart health and cardiovascular disease in general, and to help make people aware that heart disease is the number one killer of women.\u00a0 The ultimate goal of the day is to help save lives.

That\u2019s the message after researchers found that using your phone to text as you walk is more likely to cause an accident than taking a call or listening to music. Texting was associated with a higher rate of near misses and a failure to look both ways when crossing the road, in the study done by researchers at the University of Calgary. Talking on the phone caused only a small increase in time taken to cross a road safely, and listening to music had no notable impact on pedestrian safety.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BRETT YOUNG TALKS VALENTINE’S DAY ROMANCE <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Brett Young<\/strong>\u00a0is well aware that Valentine’s Day is this Friday (Feb. 14th), but when it comes to being romantic, he tells us he’s probably a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

And so I\u2019ll probably try to find out some new restaurant that she\u2019s heard about online that she really wants to see, and put us up in a different hotel that\u2019s kind of nice, and kind of pamper ourselves a little.\u00a0 But it just depends.\u00a0 It depends on the situation.\u201d]<\/p>\n FAST FACTS<\/p>\n Brett will join Jason Aldean on the summer leg of his\u00a0We Back Tour<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RILEY GREEN IS A HOLIDAY ‘PROCRASTINATOR’ <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Riley Green<\/strong>\u00a0might be the hottest new bachelor on the country music scene lately, but he freely admits he has one flaw.

Right? So says\u00a0Jimmie Allen<\/strong>. In fact, not only does he think the holiday is useless, he tells us exclusively that it’s very one-sided.\u00a0[“I feel like it’s a bunch of unnecessary pressure for men because it’s supposed to be a day where you celebrate the person you love, men and women, but yet a lot of times the pressure falls on men where men have to buy the flowers and men have to make the reservations, men have to do this, and if we don’t we’re a horrible person, but I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. What do men get for Valentine’s Day?’ I feel like if it’s supposed to be about the person you love both people should be doing something to make the other person . . . but also, there’s 365 days in the year. If you really love someone you’re not waiting for one day.”]<\/p>\n Jimmie will spend Valentine’s Day in Columbus, OH where he’s set to perform at Tequila Cowboy.<\/p>\n He is closing in on the top of the charts with “Make Me Want To,” the followup to his chart-topping debut hit, “Best Shot.”<\/p>\n FAST FACTS<\/p>\n Jimmie will head overseas to play a string of dates beginning in March.<\/p>\n Also in March, he and his fiancee, Alexis Gale, are expecting a baby girl they plan to name Naomie.<\/p>\n Jimmie already has one son, five-year-old Aadyn, from a previous relationship.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 13th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":12830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 18:40:09","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2020\/02\/on-todays-show-335\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13027,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13025\/revisions\/13027"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
