The List for Monday, November 21st 2022

Welcome to The List.

New details about the Indiana Jones 5 movie go like this…It’ll take place in the 1960s . . . and yet somehow, Indy still finds himself fighting the Nazis.  The movie is set against the backdrop of the space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.  But the Big Bad played by Mads Mikkelsen is based on Wernher von Braun, a real-life former Nazi who went on to become a NASA engineer. And ‘Indi’ has a problem with that…

The series finale of “The Walking Dead” aired last night.  And some actors from the show kept a memento to remember the Zombie Apocalypse by. Jeffrey Dead Morgan (Negan) has his bat, Lucille, and Norman Reedus (Daryl) kept his vests and some crossbows. Josh McDermitt (Eugene):  He was gifted his mullet.

About three weeks after Lauren Alaina caught the bouquet at Hardy’s wedding . . . she got engaged.  Her boyfriend Cam Arnold proposed on Friday, and she brought him to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday. Cam is a partner in a Nashville-based insurance firm, and he does NOT like the spotlight.  Lauren told the crowd she had to “negotiate” with him before he agreed to join her on stage.

Granger Smith dropped a surprise album on Friday called “Moonrise”.  And it’s also the soundtrack for a new MOVIE he’s starring in called “Moonrise”.  It premieres December 15th on the family-friendly streaming service Pure Flix.  He says “It’s about a country singer (imagine that) who’s really stubborn (sounds familiar).

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
