The List for Tuesday, January 19th 2021

Welcome to The List –

Charlie Pride may be gone, but Darius Rucker like so many fans just idolize Charlie Pride “Charlie went through a lot of stuff to do what he loved to do and he loved to sing country music. I would say no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music…I can handle it, if Charlie Pride could handle all the things he went through.”

Luke Combs has a lot of hit songs, awards and the man has got goals… “I’m definitely gunning for that Entertainer of the Year spot and winning that at some point, I think would be a huge moment for myself, whether that’s this year or not, we’ll see. I want to eventually, I mean I think, headline in stadiums, I think one day is something that I’m hoping to do and I just have loftier goals and play The Super bowl. I want to do the halftime show at The Super bowl.”

Liam Neeson may be going in a different direction with his career…he’s talking about appearing in a comedy. “Seth McFarland is writing something for me. We’re going to try to resurrect, I don’t know if you remember the Naked Gun films with the wonderful Leslie Nielsen.  We’re going to try to resurrect one of those and see if it works.”

Time is ticking for President Donald Trump, and the word is he may have a last batch of presidential pardons…the question is Will Joe Exotic get a last-minute pardon? Joe’s lawyer Eric Love thinks so…so much so, that they have a limo waiting outside of the prison to pick him up.  He says the first order of business…get his hair done and go get a McRib…. it’s all about priorities…

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

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
