Luke Combs as we all know is on one hell of a redneck roll. With his streak of No. 1 songs, he is well on his way up the country music totem poll of historic figures.

Sitting atop the genre is the King, George Strait. We recently has the chance to talk to Combs about Strait, and he dropped a fact on us that we had no clue about.
The “Hurricane” singer told Taste of Country’s Adison Haager that he has something on his bucket list that is frustrating him, because he is seemingly not able to attain it.
“I would like to run into George Strait, I’ve never met George Strait, ever. I feel like everyone in the world has, and I haven’t.”
Then Combs took it to the next level and admitted, “I’m at the point where I’m salty about it.”
How could someone like Combs, who dominates country music currently, not ever even run into King George?
Not that we don’t take his word for it, but we had to Google it and search around, and indeed, these two country music powerhouses have never met in the flesh.
The “Even Though I’m Leaving” singer admitted that if he got to knock that off of his bucket list, “That would be cool, yeah!”
With artists like George Birge, Scotty McCreery and Parker McCollum all recently telling us here at Taste of Country about their experience meeting the “Check Yes or No” legend, we can see why Combs is salty that he hasn’t gotten his turn yet.
Duke’s Mayo Bowl trolled Hellmann’s Super Bowl ad with 1 perfect tweet
Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in the classic deli scene from 1989’s ‘When Harry Met Sally.’
Super Bowl Sunday is obviously all about the NFL, but of course, college football couldn’t help but creep in with a joke — this one at the expense of Hellmann’s When Harry Met Sally-inspired ad for the 2025 Super Bowl.
In the Super Bowl spot, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are sitting down at the famous Katz’s Deli, as USA TODAY’s Ad Meter noted, recreating the iconic scene from their 1989 romantic comedy where Sally (Ryan) proves to Harry (Crystal) that women fake orgasms by, well, faking one.
In the movie, the scene ends with director Rob Reiner’s mother, Estelle Reiner, saying the famous line: “I’ll have what she’s having.”
For the 2025 Super Bowl ad, Crystal and Ryan are in their same places, and Ryan has the same reaction as in the movie after taking a bite of a sandwich with the advertiser’s brand of mayo.
Unsurprisingly, the Twitter account for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl — a beloved bowl among college football fans — had something to say about that, cracking a joke about Ryan faking it.
