Walker Hayes recently on Taste of Country Nights podcast and was asked about his viral hit ‘Fancy Like’ and if he shopped it to Applebee’s or did, THEY come to him and this is what he told Evan Paul from the show. “Well, we kinda reached out to them early on but the song hadn’t started driving sales and people to the restaurant. But, in like two weeks later they called us and told us the song was driving people to the restaurant so lets team up.” I wonder if he eats free when he goes in there now…

The List,
“CAT FIGHT!! Meghan Markle thought she was about to own the internet with her Netflix trailer ‘With Love, Meghan’. And she might’ve… until Taylor Swift came in like a rhinestoned wrecking ball and dropped her new album news. Sources say Meghan’s convinced this wasn’t just bad timing oh no this was her comeback moment, and Taylor took all the oxygen out of the royal room. Meghan loves being the headline, but this week, she was page two!

“When Blake Shelton was 17, he asked music legend Mae Axton for career advice. She said, ‘Move to Nashville, get a job.’ So, he got a job… painting her house. Which is how he met her son, Hoyt Axton. And Hoyt just casually shows him a little song he wrote called ‘Ol’ Red’. That’s like going to mow somebody’s lawn and they hand you the recipe for Chick-fil-A chicken! Total life-changer.”

“Sure, Willie Nelson is famous for puff-puff-passing, but did you know he’s also a fifth-degree black belt in GongKwon Yusul and a second-degree in Taekwondo? Luke Combs once saw it firsthand; he's at Willie’s compound in Maui, they’re playing poker, and Willie walks out, full Karate Kid mode, crane-kicking a punching bag at 84 years old… then just sits back down like nothing happened.

“A 1978 Luke Skywalker action figure with a double-telescoping lightsaber, yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds is up for auction. Experts say it could sell for between $100,000 and $200,000 because it’s one of the rarest ‘Star Wars’ toys ever made. Current bid? Twenty-four grand. Somewhere out there, a grown man in Jedi robes is checking his couch cushions for loose change.”
