The List for Tuesday, January 18th 2022

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.
