The List for Wednesday, March 9th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Country Music entertainers see there jobs differently sometimes..bringing the party…making memories…but I think they would all agree with Miranda Lambert when she Sees Her Job As Helping People Forget About Their Issues And The Problems In The World … “People don’t want to think about it. That’s what entertainment is for. I think people come to concerts because they want to cut loose for two hours of their life and drink a beer and listen to music and just be out of the problems, because they have to deal with that seven days a week. And my job is to try to make people have fun and not think about that stuff.” Good point…

In case you were wonderinig…NFL.com says Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are trying to repair their relationship AND he’s announced his return to the Packers on a four-year, $200 million deal. The extension makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history. $153 million is guaranteed. I’m not going to live this down at home….

Arnold Schwarzenegger tells Entertainment Tonight that he, Danny DeVito and Tracy Morgan are going ahead with plans to make a sequel to “Twins”.  There was a small setback because the director Ivan Reitman had passed away. They were hoping for an October release, but for now they have to find a director.

This may have slipped by the other night.  Miranda Lamberts’ Entertainer of the Year award made her a member of the ACM Triple Crown.  That’s when you’ve won New Artist of the Year, Female or Male Artist of the Year, and, of course, Entertainer of the Year.

Uproxx says Golden State Warriors fans went wild last night when Will Ferrell took the court before the game. He was dressed as his ‘’Semi-Pro’’ character Jackie Moon. Will was wearing a Flint Tropics uniform and an orange and white headband. He took shots with Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Will received the loudest cheer of the night when he hit a half court shot

Did you love or hate the crazy outfits Brothers Osborne wore while performing “Skeletons” at the ACMs?  They wore white jumpsuits with randomly painted black lines.  Either way, blame John Osborne. For the meticulous work it took for him to make them:  saying, “We bought some coverall Dickies online.  I spent two days painting [them] in my front yard.”

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

The List for Friday, January 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

-----

‘’Only Murders In The Building’’ star Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco need to sort out some wedding details…and he’s letting her do just that…smart man….

Cody Johnson has had one heck of a 2024, and he’s looking to build on that – and his career in general – as he enters into 2025. Focusing on his music isn’t hard at all. In fact, it’s become second nature to him.  He says after his wife and kids.. country music is all he lives for…

After rocking Times Square for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Carrie Underwood spent New Year's Day somewhere where she also feels comfortable: Her kitchen.
