The List for Wednesday, July 13th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Getting out there for the first time can be scary, nerve racking but you have to start somewhere if you’re going to GET anywhere.  Jake Owen talks about his FIRST job…”Well, I went to the local guitar shop and told this guy that I needed a guitar that plugs in because I have a gig tonight.  He sold me a guitar and I went back that night. I think I played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ four times.  I made tips, I made friends, got phone numbers, called my dad and said…I got a job.” Someone once asked Jake how southern his family is…well, his mom was Florida Watermelon Queen…if that’s not southern I don’t know what is…yes, but could she do the ‘crawl’?

It’s getting a little warm in Hollywood at least around Mickey Rourke.  He was doing an interview with Piers Morgan and allegedly slammed Tom Cruise for doing “Top Gun: Maverick”. “The guy’s been doing the same part for 35 years. I got no respect for that.  I think he’s irrelevant in my world.”

—–

Martin Lawrence tells Essence magazine that a fourth Bad Boys movie, with Will Smith, is in development. He says he and Will are making at least one more film for the franchise …Craig Morgan invited Jelly Roll to help him sing “Almost Home” at the Grand Ole Opry last week.  The song is special to Jelly Roll because he was inspired to be a singer after seeing Craig perform it.

—–

Don’t look for Luke Combs to be taking his newborn son on the road anytime soon…he’s not THAT guy…saying, “I think you need at least a year before the road thing. We don’t even take our dog on the road because we feel it affects his quality of life”. They want to make sure they have the parenting thing down first.

—–

Someone came up with a list of the best country songs to put on when you need a good CRY.  They include “Stay” by Sugarland . . . “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton . . . and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton. The number ONE song on the list…Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”

—–

Finally, “Travel & Leisure” put out its annual list of the best U.S. cities to visit on vacation.  And Charleston, South Carolina is #1.  They say it’s got the perfect balance of, quote, “Southern charm, knockout food and drinks, and walkability.”  Not Hollywood or Nashville but thought it was good to know….

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

Talia 3/18/2025

This week's KIX Critter of the week is Talia!!

She was originally adopted from the ARL,  but after 9 years, she was found as a stray. Despite everything, this sweet girl is still all about love and snuggles.

Talia’s all set health-wise too. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped for her safety.

Talia would thrive in a home where she’s the only pet and can get all the attention she deserves. She’ll happily curl up with you or soak up the sunshine. And don’t be surprised if she greets you with a little headbutt—she loves to show affection that way!

If you're looking for a laid-back, snuggly cat, Talia could be the perfect match for you!

Since she is the KIX CRITTER her adoption fee is 50% off!!!

The List for Monday, March 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

TMZ says Jay Leno recently drove a tank down a residential street in L.A.  The tank is outfitted with a massive gun, but it's unclear if it's functional. I would say probably not…Jay joked that he was on patrol and keeping everyone safe.. which…of course he drove a tank down his neighborhood…it’s Jay Leno!

-----

Jada Pinkett Smith is not happy that Will passionately kissed a singer during a recent concert. A source says, “With Will out there strutting his stuff and acting like a single man, she's decided it’s time to mirror his antics. Will, on the other hand, insists he’s done nothing wrong and claims he was just 'putting on a show. But Jada feels he’s crossed a serious line.” Wait…what?

-----

An underground explosion happened on the Texas Tech campus this past weekend that caused them to reschedule the Brooks & Dunn concert to this Thursday.  Students were reporting green fire and purple smoke billowing out from pothole covers at different spots on campus.  It looks like the Jokers plans are coming together nicely….

-----

And finally, Morgan Wallen fans will be stoked!  He just revealed that his new album, "I'm the Problem", is "officially done."  He didn't say when it would be released, but that we'd find out more this week.

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