Welcome to The List,
The Big 12 is in action in March Madness…and Brett Young Thinks Duke Is Going To Win ‘March Madness’ … “I mean, born and raised a UCLA basketball fan. But over the past couple of years and I know they’re back and they’re better now but I’ve kind of lost interest, not lost interest, but I haven’t kept up as much as I’d like to with them. From what I’ve seen, I don’t know if they’re this good in the season, I don’t know how Duke doesn’t just dominate once we get into the playoffs, into the bracket. There are a lot of great teams in college basketball right now, but if I had to bet on anybody it would be Duke hands down.” You can catch the Iowa State Cyclones as they take on LSU tonight on Kix 101.1 coverage begins at 5:15.

Tyler Henry, is getting a lot of press lately he’s known as ‘The Hollywood Medium’, says his first prediction was the death of his grandmother. “Well, this all really started with me when I was only ten years old. I randomly one night just woke up and had this knowingness that my grandmother was going to pass away. So, it was really that catalyst that kicked off the series of knowingness that kinda followed me throughout my life.” His series, ‘Life After Death;, is streaming now on Netflix.

Breland tells People magazine that he plans to take some time off and spend the weekend watching March Madness games and drinking wine with his friends. And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not going to honor Dolly Parton’s request to pull her nomination…of course if she gets the votes she could always pull a Garth Brooks and not accept the award.

We’ve always heard that Tom Cruise was one of the actors considered for the roll of Tony Stark for Marvels Iron Man…. well he tells the Indian Express Newspaper that it was true and he turned it down Saying “It had to be done in a way that I know it’s gonna be something special. And it just didn’t feel to me like it was gonna work. I need to be able to make decisions and make the film as great as it can be, and it just didn’t go down that road that way.” Sounds to ME he wanted it HIS way and THEY wanted it MARVELS way…

So, if you’re still driving a car with a cassette player and want to play some music here’s your chance. “When I think about a cassette, I think about being young. I remember my mom taking me to the store to buy a Faith Hill cassette when I was like, six or seven. “And with the album being called ‘Where We Started’, it’s kind of just a deep dive into looking back at your younger self, and cassettes are what I grew up with.” Thomas Rhett’s album “Where We Started” is out April 1st
