The List for Thursday, January 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Guess who’s getting their very own cookie!! Oreo is releasing limited-edition Post Malone cookies on February 3rd.  They have a first-ever twisted creme center with salted caramel and shortbread flavors, sandwiched between a chocolate and golden cookie.. George Strait never got that kind of attention.

-----

Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are reuniting for "something iconic," but there's no word yet what it is.  This year marks the 36th anniversary of "When Harry Met Sally".

-----

Lauren Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, are expecting their first child.  She officially announced it yesterday, alongside the premiere of her new song, "Those Kinds of Women".

Ira Dean Tel-Man, Johnny Cash, Trick Pony and more

What a pleasure it was to talk with Ira Dean. The interview was recorded in August when Iowa was dealing with "corn sweat".  We talked about how he got his job with Tanya Tucker, I asked him about Trick Pony and how Heidi Newfield join the group.

Ira shared how he met Johnny Cash, his wife June through their son John Jr. So many great stories one that hit Ira pretty hard-a conversation he had with Charlie Daniels.

His current single was a tribute to his mom who had recently passed. Then he shared about this new song...Tel-Man!!

A special thank you to Lynne Connolly for setting up this chance to talk to Ira. I hope it won't be the last. Also a huge shoutout to Ira's label 8-Track Entertainment for this beautiful autographed Telecaster guitar!!!
