True to his easygoing nature, he couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, sharing, "Impaled my foot, and when I took my boot off, corn fell all over the floor," he added with a laugh.
"The lady came in here wanting to know where all the corn came from. It’s from my boot. You don’t want me to take this other one off, either. It's real-world problems."
"You don’t want me to take this other one off, either. It’s real-world problems," he said.

Riley Green’s love for hunting runs deep
Just last month, the 'Don’t Mind If I Do' singer proudly shared a photo on social media with a deer he hunted on his Kansas farm.
"First buck off my new farm in Kansas and he was a good one," Green wrote. "It took a bunch of hours sittin’ in a tree with a bow, but he finally slipped up. Damn, I love it out here."
When he’s not out in the wild, Green has been making waves in the country music scene. His recent duet, 'You Look Like You Love Me', featuring Langley, soared to the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
