The List for Wednesday, April 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Academy just dropped a new rule: if you’re voting for the Oscars, you actually have to watch all the nominated films in a category. I know—wild concept, right? Also, A.I. won’t help or hurt a movie’s chances, so Hollywood robots are still unemployed. Sorry, R2-D2, maybe next year.

Dolly Parton says when she stays in California, she sleeps in full makeup—because you never know when an earthquake might send you running outside! Now that’s commitment. Meanwhile, I’m over here hoping my pajamas don’t have a hole in them if the fire alarm goes off.

—–

Lainey Wilson and her fiancé Duck Hodges went turkey hunting—and I swear that man was born to be in a camo calendar. Lainey said they’ve been stalking one big ol’ gobbler for a week. Sounds like Thanksgiving is about to get real personal.

—–

George Clooney says in ten years of marriage, he and Amal have never had a single argument. Not one!  Clooney says he hit the jackpot—I say that jackpot must also come with a mute button.

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

The List for Thursday, June 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

-----

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.

-----

Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.

-----

Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.

The List for Wednesday, June 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

-----

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea... that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says "collector’s item" like sipping what's basically Ozzy's rock 'n’ roll backwash.

-----

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is... well, Tom Cruise-ish.

-----

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.
