Welcome to The List,
Betty White would have turned 100 yesterday. The Daily Mail says Trisha Yearwood accepted the #BettyWhiteChallenge. “I don’t know who started the Betty White Challenge, but we accepted it. Betty right now is so happy that this is the way that this is the way the world is choosing to celebrate her birthday. By giving to animals which was so near and dear to her heart.” Trisha raised $24,000 for the animal charity Dottie’s Yard in honor of Betty.

Mike Tyson and YouTube star Jake Paul have verbally agreed to a boxing match. The $50 million exhibition is going to take place later this year in Las Vegas. After the paperwork is done and who’s getting paid WHAT…they say this fight bridges the gap between old school boxing fans and the new generation of followers.” Even though Mike Tyson posted; “This is new to me. I just saw Jake in St. Barths and he never mentioned it”

What is YOUR motivation routine to get going in the morning…is it five cups of coffee? Or a favorite song…For Michael Ray it’s a girl named ‘Vidalia’…actually, it’s HIS favorite song. Michael says, I get up make some coffee and if I just need that little extra push of motivation…you know, to go to the gym or before a meeting or a write or whatever – man I crank up ‘Vidalia’ by our buddy Sammy Kershaw.”

It’s award season…I think? Kind of? The Golden Globes “happened” well behind closed doors, on Sunday the 8th, without any famous faces or press invited after NBC pulled the plug and snuck it right past us. If you are even interested. Ricky Gervais says they’re non-sense anyway. “To be fair all awards are non-sense, I’ve been part of them all my life. It’s always lovely to get awarded, but if you take it to seriously your on a slippery slope. If you really think your anything special when you win an award….you JUST won an award that’s all out of a few people. So what.” Everyone remembers…if you watched…the 77th Golden Globes when Ricky really let Hollywood HAVE IT.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
