The cops in Punta Gorda, Florida pulled over a car around 3:30 A.M. on Monday for blowing a stop sign.\u00a0 A 22-year-old guy named Michael Clemons was driving and a 25-year-old woman named Ariel Machan-Le Quire was in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n
They let the cops search their car, and the cops found a bag with 41 small turtles inside.\u00a0 Then the cops asked if they had anything else.<\/p>\n
And Ariel reached into her yoga pants . . . and pulled out a foot-long BABY ALLIGATOR.<\/p>\n
Michael and Ariel said they had been collecting animals under an overpass, but they violated the bag limits for reptiles, so they got citations. \u00a0All the reptiles were seized by police and released.<\/p>\n

[“It’s a really big time of year for everybody. Even if it’s just to get to spend a little time with your mom. You know, it’s not necessarily all about, you know, getting her a gift, it’s about just saying, ‘Thank you.’ I mean, they really do shape so much of your life. Your parents do. And your mom’s always a big person. Especially for me. She raised us for a little while, me and my sister, basically by herself. Before my stepdad, who I call my dad, came in the picture, it was just her. And we . . . I never, as a kid, wanted for anything. And that was how my mom looked at everything. And that’s how a lot of moms do, and I think that’s why we have a Mother’s Day. Just some of the stuff they do, that they give up for their children, really to make sure you have a great life and a great experience as a child. It’s pretty amazing how much of their personal time they give up, and go, you know, ‘This isn’t for me, this is for my kid.'”]<\/p>\n Chris performed last night (Thursday, May 9th) in London on his\u00a0Raised On Country Tour<\/em>.

He\u2019s much more self-efficient, and he can brush his own teeth and put his own clothes on, and he\u2019s making decisions for himself, and then we start all over with the little squishy one again. It\u2019s just kind of crazy. You forget how hard it is, to be honest, but you just figure your way through it.

His introduction came from his grandmother:[\u201cMy grandmother loved to sing, and she would sing anywhere she could \u2018cause it made her happy. And so when my parents would leave me with her while they went to work, most of the time we were in the little room when George Strait tapes and Garth Brooks, and Randy Travis, George Jones, I mean all just traditional country singing and having a good time recording ourselves, and so I grew up singing so it really helped me get my voice in, and my grandma was a great performer. She didn\u2019t have the great voice, but she could definitely entertain a room and I got some of that too I think from her.\u201d] <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 10th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":6001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-19 08:51:32","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2019\/05\/on-todays-show-156\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6000","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=6000"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6009,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6000\/revisions\/6009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
