The List for Thursday, March 23rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

97-year-old Dick Van Dyke crashed his car into a gate last week, after losing control on a wet road.  His injuries were minor, and he might have suffered a concussion, but didn’t go to the hospital…unlike that pesky footstool he just couldn’t sidestep it!!

There’s a list of movie characters who are basically impossible to kill, according to voters on Ranker.com.  But for the record, some of these characters were eventually killed.  The vote getters were…John Wick at the top followed by James Bond, and Indiana Jones.  Others on the list were The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail…”is but a flesh wound”…Westley in The Princess Bride  and Captain Jack Sparrow…

Tim McGraw was recently asked what’s in his tour rider.  The guy is a fitness fanatic so you’d expect him to list things like lean chicken breasts, tofu chips, and potassium-loaded smoothies.  But you’d be wrong.  Partly.  How about peanut M&M’s, and Coke in bottles that are from Mexico because they use real sugar…Tuna Sandwich and Muscle Milk.  Tim said he’s been touring so long there’s stuff in there he forgot he ever requested and just never touches.

Dierks Bentley tells Rolling Stone magazine that he’s still a front porch man. He loves the big front porch he has in Nashville. What he had in Colorado was like that…bikes, a porch. Outdoors is where he enjoys being. His porch is his favorite room in the house. It takes him back to the days when everyone used to sit on their porches in the evenings.”

Tom Brady has signed up to get “The Treatment” and we’re not talking facelifts…the retired quarterback has signed on to a Netflix Roast special…hold sauce…or in THIS case pile it ON!!  with the working title, “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” according to TMZ.    The ONLY thing that WON’T be roasted will be his family.  Hosted by the RoastMaster General Jeff Ross. The Greatest Roasts of All Time: GROAT kicks off a series of roasts and is scheduled for some time later this year.

The country singer, from Shueyville Iowa released her groundbreaking album ‘Raised’ less than a year ago, had quite the surprise coming when she was called into a meeting with her team “They called me in for a breakfast and all of a sudden there was a gold plaque in my face,” there’s no better way to wake up than two eggs over easy…toast…hot coffee, crispy bacon and oh! By the way here’s your GOLD RECORD!!
