The List for Tuesday, April 5th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Sam Hunt Says his hit song ’23’ was inspired by a trip to the beach! ‘ … “That may have had something to do with it. We were down there and it’s easier to tap into that nostalgia when you’re at the beach, thinking back to trips you know from your youth. But who knows? But I’m glad that it worked out that day because we wrote it in probably two hours, which is pretty rare for me.” He’d been trying to work up to if for several years and a lot of times you’re just one word or little change away from an idea…the idea came getting sand between your toes.

Tim McGraw like most of us loves taking family road trips.  Can you imagine Tim traveling just like Clark W. Griswold From “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” … “I’ve got a 15-year-old Cadillac Escalade that I love. It’s like my Griswold family cruiser. I just love that car, and we’ll do the southern route and go to L.A. and then go up to Northern California and then take the northern route back, and we’ve really enjoyed it.” I wonder if Tim McGraw HAS a cousin Eddie…he would almost HAVE to…

Jake Gyllenhaal has a new movie out this weekend called “Ambulance” he was talking to Jimmy Kimmel last night apparently director Michael Bay’s home is big…“It took a while for us to find each other, it’s a very large home.  It’s huge and it’s filled with transformer memorabilia.  I ran into Bumble Bee before I ran into him.”Yeah, I can’t imagine Michael Bay having an understated house…We’ll preview “Ambulance” Thursday with ‘At The Movies’

Darius Rucker is planning a free concert on the campus of the University of South Carolina because the women’s basketball team won the National Championship on Sunday by beating UConn 64-49

Sad news today MARTHA STEWART’s four dogs killed her calico Persian cat named Princess Peony.  She says they “mistook her for a Roast Rack of Lamb with Garlic and Herb Crust…on a doily of course

The creator of “Squid Game” is working on a movie that he says will be even MORE violent.  Its working title at the moment is Killing Old People Club”.  There’s no word on the plot. Yeah, I can’t see that causing any problems and   Here’s a good reason to watch next Monday’s CMT Music Awards”.  They’re down to six Video of the Year nominees, and you can still vote at CMT.com.  Surely, your favorite will win.

The List for Thursday, April 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Bailey Zimmerman Says The Fans Inspire Him To Write And Perform Music ... “For me, it’s always been the stories, like, the stories you hear from people when I’m out on the road…watching people cry really gets me when I’m, like, playing and stuff. That’s really that’s just like…that’s why I write music, Adding – We’ve all been kinda through the same stuff!!

-----

Jason Aldean says the worst karaoke move ever is when artists sing their own songs. According to him, if you’re gonna grab the mic, don’t flex—have fun. He prefers belting out stuff he’d never do on stage—like Neil Diamond. Because nothing says “hardcore country boy” like a drunk “Sweet Caroline” with jazz hands and a beer.

-----

Cuba Gooding Jr. is reportedly stressed over his connection to Diddy’s upcoming trafficking trial. Sources say Cuba’s trying to live the straight-and-narrow—no more headlines, no more grabby hands. But now he’s worried he’ll be pulled back into court like it’s a bad sequel. He's sweating bullets and praying the only role he plays next... isn’t “surprise witness.”

-----

A People Magazine staffer is leading a full-blown campaign to crown Jack Black as the next Sexiest Man Alive. She calls him a triple threat with jungle cat moves and “a devilish grin”—honestly, she sounds in heat. He’s funny, charitable, loves his fans, and may or may not be hotter than Jude Law in ‘The Holiday’. Honestly? We support this beefcake energy.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Wednesday, April 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood hit the stage with Papa Roach in Vegas, belting out “Last Resort” and their duet “Leave a Light On.” Sounds fun, right? Well, not so much for the fans, who clearly didn’t want a mashup of country and rock. Guess some lights were left on... just not for the right reasons.

-----

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is allegedly in therapy because Ben Affleck just won’t stop showing up. Holidays? Ben’s there. Dinner? Ben’s there. It’s like he’s got a VIP pass to their relationship. John’s starting to feel like the other guy in his own love story. Maybe Ben should start paying rent at this point.

-----

Luke Combs is all about quality over quantity with his music—no 20-song albums here! He’s got 40-50 songs ready, but he’s not into watering it down. Last time? Just 12 tracks. He’s basically saying, “Less is more, folks”—and we’re here for it. Who needs fillers when you’ve got hits?

-----

Tom Cruise is back in Mission: Impossible doing what he does best: hanging upside down from an airplane at 62! Yeah, he’s still got it—one-handed, no less. And rumor has it, he’s planning to do this crazy stunt stuff until he’s 80. At this point, he’s more Mission: Improbable than impossible!  The trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is out now…the movie is in theaters May 23rd.  See the trailer HERE
