The List for Thursday, June 30th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The BEST part of the 4th of July other than food and friends has GOT to be fireworks but Brett Young says he didn’t like setting off fireworks when he was a kid  … “I enjoyed watching them from afar. and I was like a very cautious, almost fearful kid. I was afraid that one was gonna blow up in my hand or something and so if we’d go to an event where I could watch from afar I was into to it, but I never wanted to be the one setting them off.”

Cameron Diaz is coming out of retirement to star in a new Netflix action comedy with Jamie Foxx titled “Back In Action”. The two previously worked together in ”Any Given Sunday”. The movie’s plot is being kept a secret.  Jamie had to coax her out of retirement,  so he got her on the phone with a friend of HIS that is used to coming out of retirement Tom Brady…and he gave her some tips on how to get back to work.

Chris Young says he’s looking forward to a much better July 4th this year.. “Probably the thing that I’m most excited about for is just the Fourth of July itself. Obviously last year, no one really got a Fourth of July experience, and so, this year with things starting to open up, it looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

With all the Re-boots being made of favorite movies would you ever think there would be one of E.T.?  Well, there had been ideas kicked around over the years. But reports are only that the Xfinity commercial that debuted during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is about as close as we’re going to get. And as far as Spielberg is willing to allow.  Many thought it was a teaser trailer but…no…

Spotify is quietly testing a new Karaoke mode that cuts the vocals of a song so you can sing along.  Then it gives you an accuracy rating.  It’s only being offered to some users now, so not everyone has it.  Spotify hasn’t even announced it yet, Those who HAVE it will see a “sing” button in the corner of a song’s icon.  If you push it, it cuts the vocals so only the music is playing, allowing you to sing along. If you don’t have this feature, you can try updating that app.  If you still don’t have it . . . well, you’ll just have to hope they roll it out for everyone.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert!

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)
