The List for Monday, November 1st 2021

Welcome to The List,

Dierks Bentley keeping fit as the weather gets cooler! He recently took part in a 50-mile bike race in Bentonville, Arkansas before taking a plane to Dallas to perform later in the evening. The man is a machine, Dierks hopes to bike 100 miles at next year's race… Just reporting this makes my back hurt…..

-----

Another country artist taking up biking is Chris Stapleton.  He tells  CMT that he started riding a bike during the pandemic . Actually it was mountain biking saying he hadn't ridden in years. You know when people say, 'Easy as riding a bike'? They've never had to re-teach themselves how to ride. It's hard!"

-----

Mila Kunis tells The Blast that she has a ladder in every room saying I have ladders everywhere. I have a ladder in the closet, I have a ladder in the kitchen. I can’t reach things! and it’s not really because she’s short..well, yeah, she's 5’4” but her husband Ashton Kutcher is 6’3”…she feels it’s a good marriage compromise.

-----

And a little bit of a departure today but still worth mentioning…The San Francisco Gate reports Analicia Garcia and Kyle Howser had their wedding reception at a Pacifica, California Taco Bell THIS Taco Bell is widely regarded as the nicest Taco Bell in the world. Wedding guests dined on Crunch wrap Supremes..but they forgot the hot sauce and napkins...Just FYI because a base was stolen at the World Series this year…America gets to steal a FREE Doritos’ Locos Taco Thursday November 4th

Brett Eldredge likes to dress up on Halloween..and HIS favorite costume? “I actually got with a bunch of my friends and we dressed as teletubbies…uh, whatever those things are…and we went to a bar, and it was just a hit.
