Raising McCollum's

You know I have talked about Chicken Fingers at Raising Cane's...

Parker McCollum joined the ranks of superstars who have worked the drive thru for the fans.  Parker served up food at his hometown Conroe, TX location of Cane's that led up to him opening up the Houston Rodeo tonight.  Cane's also had a Koe Wetzel Day too.  Now I'm hungry.

Mount Country

Today, I did a thing.  As I said, when I was a kid day-dreaming consumed most of my days... (or daze hahah)   

Being President's Day makes me think of the 4 on Mt. Rushmore.  In my head, I want to picture Country Music's Mt. Rushmore.

Lydia said... Garth ,Luke Bryan,Alan Jackson & Toby Keith

Janet M... Let's put a female on the mountain. Willie, Garth, Jason Aldean & Shania

Katie... Toby Keith,Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean,Dolly Parton

Cassie in Strongsville... Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith and Taylor Swift

Bob... Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Charlie Daniels

Judy M said...Wayland, Willie, Merle, and Johnny

Chuck weighed in with... George Strait, Alan Jackson, Reba and Dolly

Shrek said... Willie Nelson, Reba, Travis Tritt & RANDY Travis

Linda said... Luke Combs, Shania, George Strait and asked if Bros. Osbourne counts as 1 or 2 artists..   (my response was we'll make their heads tiny and count'em as one... It's not like this is real.)

Lisa K said... Willie Nelson, George Strait, Loretta Lynn & Reba

Rebecca said... Dolly, Dolly, Dolly & Dolly that's it!

Josh said Morgan, Garth, Tim McGraw & Chris Stapleton

Lynn in Massillon...  Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett and Keith Urban

Allie wanted her Mt. Rushmore to be... Luke Bryan, Aldean, Brantley and Jelly Roll. (NOW GIVE ME TICKETS!!!)

There were sooo many more but I can't remember all the calls.... Texts were still rollin in when I was passing the mic to Rachel.

I think my Mt. Rushmore of Country artists would be George Strait, Alan Jackson, Eric Church, and Tim McGraw.  

If you would like to be part of the fun obviously no wrong answers just Country Artists... hopefully you had President's Day off and got to relax to 94.9 WQMX.  
Thank you to all who hung out and helped our friends at NEOPAT Saturday with Red, White and Bowl at Stonehedge Lanes in Akron.  You are all the best and judging by the lists above love country's best!
 
Here is Josh Turner who did a series on his Mt. Rushmore and performed a song from all the artists (not just 4)....

Those Boots!

Maybe you have seen the Mario Bros. looking boots that have been popping up.  Check out Seth Rollins on The WWE

There was an art collective that put them together and it seems like influencers are trying to make them a Big Ol' Red thing.

If you want a pair of the 'Astro Boy' Red Boots they will cost you, starting at $350... 

I think Big Red Cowboy Boots would be interesting. Just sayin.  Or Yosemite Sam Boots, that make your feet real tiny.  Those would be funny.

I think, I will pass on these.

Wrasslin' Wednesday

You have probably noticed... When a Premium Event in the WWE happens on Saturday Night it's "Wrasslin' Wednesday".

Remember these are just my guesses.  If you are betting by all means this is just for fun!

Matches

Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar.  

There is a lot of back and forth on this one with me.   I think Brock Lesnar will win.  Not sure why other than possibly getting 'The Hurt Business' back in the fold.

Edge and Beth Phoenix vs. The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley)

Dominik Mysterio is on borrowed time.  He needs some 'hardtime' off until they can set up a Rey/Dominik Match.  Rhea is starting to see Dom-Dom is an anchor

holding her down.  I think he will interfere in the match and end up losing it for The Judgement Day.

Elimination Chamber match for a Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania

Asuka vs. Carmella vs. Liv Morgan vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Cross vs. Raquel Rodriguez 

This one is a coin flip.  I would have Liv Morgan or Asuka as the winner.   Taking on 'The E-S-T.. in L-A'.... 

Natalya seems to be getting a push, I can imagine Baszler and Rousey will pop-up somehow...

WWE United States Championship Elimination Chamber match

Austin Theory (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Bronson Reed vs. Damian Priest vs. Montez Ford 

I want Montez Ford to Win.  I think Austin Theory pulls it out and there will be a big name coming at him Monday Night and it won't be Seth Rollins.

Rollins will have his card set for Mania as Logan Paul gets involved enough in the match to keep Rollins from winning.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn 

This one has tons of possibility. Rhodes interfering, The Rock an equalizer, Kevin Owens interfering, Sami Wins and Roman and Solo vs The USO's, Rock Interferes and Roman Rock at Mania...  Sami and Rhodes Main Event....

I think Jey Uso helps Sami Uso but then turns to help 'The Tribal Chief'.  Which Kevin Owens comes to the rescue and sets the USO's vs Sami/KO. 

Roman then can focus on Cody Rhodes.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Eve!!!  Tomorrow is a big day.  Hearts will be full and hopefully no hearts broken!

Sure the elaborate gifts and sentimental ideas are huge.  

If it is flowers, chocolates, jewelry or just a romantic dinner.   Sometimes the big elaborate is too much or something you can't afford.

Truth be told, everyone has to eat.  Instead of going out to dinner, grab a recipe and try it as a couple. 

"Those that make a recipe together, stay together" type stuff.  Just have a fire extinguisher handy incase things get too hot!!!  HAHA!!

If it is a success the next time you make the dish or have it out at a restaurant it might take you back to a Valentine's you will never forget.  

At least have some fun stories.  If this will put you in the doghouse then just get the presents...

And from experience homemade coupon books usually don't work.  Happy Valentine's Day.

73

I'm just going to speak this into the Football-verse...

Tonight at the NFL Honors during Big Game Week!  There will be many awards handed out...

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class that is heading to Canton in 2023 will be announced tonight also. 

Now there are a ton of deserving names on the lengthy list of nominees.   I think, there is a no-brainer/lock among those names.

Joe Thomas, The Browns Iron-man Lineman has to be atop the list!  

Sure he was #73 but the number 10,363 the amount of consecutive snaps AS A LINEMAN is the number of Legend.

Now Thomas maybe missing the Playoff and Superbowl appearances but let's face it that isn't his fault.  

With the merry-go-round of QB's he protected he allowed just 30 sacks in 6,680 pass-block snaps...  

I don't think I am alone wanting to see Joe Thomas in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  He will get the nod tonight.  

Good Luck, Joe.  Enjoy the Gold Jacket, see you in Canton!
