The List for Friday, May 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Well brother, Hulk Hogan is back, and this time he’s body-slamming the rulebook. The 72-year-old Hall of Famer is teaming up with Eric Bischoff to launch “Real American Freestyle,” which sounds like something your uncle would call a backyard brawl after two Busch Lights. They’re promising unscripted wrestling, aka chaos with abs. First event’s in August, “Finally, a league where every match ends in a hip replacement.”

Country queen Lainey Wilson is heading to Hollywood, She’s starring in her first feature film called “Reminders of Him,”.  It hits theaters next February, which gives you plenty of time to pretend you read the book. Spoiler: expect heartbreak, tears, and probably someone staring out a window during a rainstorm while Lainey sings softly in the background.

So Bill Belichick had a CBS interview… that mysteriously got paused when the reporter asked about his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. CBS says there were “no preconditions,” but Bill’s camp says otherwise. Meanwhile, Jordon—who, by the way, is nearly 50 years younger—now owns an $8 million real estate portfolio. Love is patient, love is kind… love is also a smart real estate investor, apparently.

I didn’t have Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley on my 2025 weird couple bingo card—but here we are. Sources say she loved her time in Tennessee, surrounded by nature… and mullets. They believe they were destined to reunite, which is beautiful, in a “Nicholas Sparks meets Cracker Barrel” kind of way.  “Nothing says destiny like Liz Hurley in a Bass Pro Shop.”

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.

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.
