Happy Turkey Day, y’all. While most folks are just now getting up and getting their day started (unless you’re a turkey trot family, by now you’ve lived 5 lives) by watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or the 2025 National Dog Show with a mimosa in hand, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what this day is really about before the chaos of entertaining begins. While today is filled with the smell of turkey roasting, laughter filling the home, football playing, and drinks flowing, it’s also a day to reflect on all that we are blessed with. Whether you are having a large or small Thanksgiving, many of us are blessed to be with those who love us, to have a roof over our heads, and a warm bed to fall into after a day of eating rich, nutritious foods. Today is about acknowledging those blessings, no matter how big or small. And one of my favorite videos to watch on Thanksgiving Day is a 1970 snippet from The Johnny Cash Show. Cash says to open up the segment: “Thanksgiving is a day to be reminded to be thankful for all the things we’ve got. Though it may seem like little, sometimes we’ve all got something to be thankful for.” Cash sits down and shares a poem about a man and his family who didn’t seem like they had a lot to be thankful for, but as they went to bless the food, he realized that all the little things you forget about are reasons to be grateful. “Dear Lord, he said, we thank you the sun was warm today. Thank you for the singing of the birds and the laughing of the children as they play. Thank you to that neighbor of mine that fixed my plow, and thank you for that old plow horse.” As he goes on to list the small feats that he is thankful for that occur each day, listening to them reminds us of all the little things we all have that we can be thankful for. After he shares the short poem, he sings, “I Thank You Lord.” The song carries a powerful message, and Cash looks so nonchalant as he sings the words that hold so much weight. It’s a great video with an even greater message that still carries significant weight 55 years after it was first spoken. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving filled with good food, greater company, and good football… well, maybe good football, we’ll see. At least we have Post Malone to watch on our TV screens during the Dallas Cowboys game. And before you go, also play Johnny Cash’s “Thanksgiving Prayer.” The post Johnny Cash’s Thanksgiving Message From 1970 Is Just As Relevant 55 Years Later first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Stirring up the rumor mill. Ella Langley is coming off a huge year, which wrapped up last week at the 2025 CMA Awards. She won three awards for her hit duet with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me,” including Single of the Year, Song of the Year (award goes to the songwriters) and Music Video of the Year. And of course, ever since that song first came out, fans have been speculating about whether or not Ella and Riley were ever more than friends, though both have denied it and say they’ve always been friends. But whether or not there was any truth to that, Ella has a new man sparking up the rumors, and that would be John Sansone, whose name you might recognize from the reality show Farmer Wants a Wife. He ended up with a woman from the show, Claire, though they both reported on Instagram earlier this summer that they had broken up (no I didn’t just know that… thanks Google). John is a sixth-generation farmer from St. Louis, Missouri, where he operates a 170-acre farm that primarily produces soy, corn, and wheat, which he learned from his grandfather. He is also a cousin of Sophia Sansone, who is on Luke Combs’ management team and previously dated Riley Green… yeah, there’s a lot of moving parts here. He said on the show he was also in law school, so he seemingly has a law career in the works, and it’s a post he shared just yesterday that has fans talking about Ella. In the carousel, he shared a post with several different photos and videos, one of which features Ella’s dog, Crue, and you can see her in slide #7 too. John captioned the post: “Seein’ what sticks type post.” Ella commented: “Crue mannnn.” I mean, it’s certainly not nothing… and I’m so sorry to have to be the messenger here, guys. You can see it here: View this post on Instagram Of course, it’s completely possible these two are just friends, but regardless of what their relationship status actually is, they’re apparently okay with setting off a firestorm of speculation because that’s the only logical outcome from a post like this. Especially considering how invested Ella’s fans are in her dating life… which is ironic because it’s publicly nonexistent. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a fanbase so obsessed with who someone may or may not be dating, when there’s been zero objective evidence that she’s ever been dating anyone. Nevertheless, many were quick to notice that Ella was featured in this carousel, and it definitely sparked a lot dating speculation in the comments section: “If y’all are together – I’m here for it. You’d make one hell of a beautiful couple.” “They would be absolutely fire together. She is the most beautiful woman.” “Peep Ella!!! I support this relationship x 100!!!! EEEKKKKK Helloo Ella didn’t expect to see you here.” “What?????? Two of my FAVORITES!!!!” “This is devastating.” “Farmer wants an Ella.” “I just saw many men fall to their knees in Cracker Barrel.” “I ship this.” Fans online have also noted that they’ve been “liking” each other’s posts on Instagram for a while now, and they have spotted him at a couple of her shows lately, but he wasn’t seen with her at the CMA Awards last week, though that obviously doesn’t mean he wasn’t there or with her at an after party or something. Ella also shared a photo dump last night, where you can see her and John in slide #9: View this post on Instagram Maybe it’s some sort of soft launch? We’ll see… I’m sure fans will continue to do their due diligence to get to the bottom of whether or not Ella and John are an official item, and it’s clearly possible that they’re just friends, but either way, stay tuned… I’m sure this won’t be the end of the rumors and news about this potential new relationship. “Choosin’ Texas” The post Ella Langley Sparks Dating Rumors With Former ‘Farmer Wants A Wife’ Star, John Sansone, After They Both Share Social Media Posts Shooting Together first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

It’s that time of year again when we get together with our families to sit down and eat a big meal of Turkey and wonderful side dishes, with much gratitude in our . . .

Juicy Turkey - Helen Hong stand-up comedy

It is by now clear that European leaders prefer the war in Ukraine to continue, that they fear peace (a "quick" one anyway), that many believe Europe is already at war and seem "gung ho" to turn it into a shooting war, and that they are obsessed with inflicting defeat on Russia. Far less clear is why they think this way. Amid the whiplash of this year's developments, an answer is emerging — a method to this madness.
