The List for Tuesday, May 25th 2021

Welcome to The List,

With Memorial Day just around the corner Country Stars are sharing their support.  Tim McGraw is thankful for the safety he feels. “They put their life on the line. They put their families on the back burner because they have to be away while we sit in our comfortable homes and we take our kids to a great school and we drive in our cars to places, and we feel safe. They provide that.”

Brett Young shares his feelings on sacrifice  “You know, I wouldn’t get to do what I do and I wouldn’t get to enjoy the freedoms that I do if there weren’t people that had gone and made those sacrifices. And so, once I kind of realized that it’s about the freedoms we enjoy in this country, it became a really, really special holiday for me.”

If you’re a fan of ‘The Office’, there is sad news out of Hollywood, TMZ reports that Marcus York, who played Billy Merchant in the earlier seasons of the comedy series, died following an illness (details about what led to his illness and death have not been revealed.  In addition to appearing on The Office, the actor appeared in CSI: New York and Fighting Words. Marcus York was 55.

Kevin Spacey has booked his first film role since sexual assault allegations against him surfaced more than three years ago, though the new credit isn’t without controversy.  Ironically, the actor is set to return to the big screen as a detective investigating a sex crime.

John Krasinski’s new movie sequel “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters this weekend and he talks about why you should REALLY see this movie in a theater…“I just think that this movie is so uniquely primed for the theater, we designed it completely to be a theatrical experience. So, in this movie we tried to push the boundaries even more with what we did with sound and put YOU in the movie and make you feel like you are part of this terrifying experience.” He says it’s much bigger and scarier than the original film, we’ll take a closer look at “A Quiet Place 2” on At The Movies Thursday. “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters Friday.

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

The List for Monday, March 30th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Tiger Woods is back in the headlines after flipping his Land Rover in Florida trying to pass a truck with a trailer. The vehicle ended up on its side, he crawled out like it was no big deal, and somehow nobody was hurt. He blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer but refused a blood test and was charged with DUI and property damage. So yeah, that “no alcohol” part isn’t exactly calming anyone down.

-----

Keith Urban is dealing with some awkward rumors linking him to younger Nashville singers, and apparently his daughters are not loving the headlines. Sources say it’s a bad look no matter what, because either he comes off like a womanizer or a guy striking out. Meanwhile, the women involved are flat-out denying everything.

-----

Country legend Charlie Daniels is making a return in hologram form for America’s 250th birthday celebration. The show is set for Fort Campbell and will feature performances from Aaron Tippin and others, along with a digital version of Charlie headlining. His son says it’s a dream come true, which is sweet… but also a little “we’re living in the future now.”

-----

Michael Jordan says he still dreams about making an NBA comeback… in his 60s. He told CBS that competitive fire never really leaves, and he’d love to pick up a basketball again at that level. Which is adorable, because most of us dream about getting off the couch without making a noise.

The List for Friday, March 27th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood says her boys can sing, but she is not handing out tiny little record deals just because Mom can hit a note. Her oldest is already a mini-Carrie, super into music, but she says the music business can wait until he is older and knows who he is. One minute Mom is on stage in sequins, next minute she is making dinner like nothing happened. Country queen by night, casserole ninja by six.

-----

Morgan Wallen says he is done hiding behind excuses, and that might be the most grown-up sentence he has ever said out loud. He told CMT that back then, there was always something to blame when things went sideways. Now he says if he messes up, it is on him. Accountability..

-----

Netflix just raised prices again, and at this point your streaming bill is starting to look like a car payment. The ad plan is now $8.99, standard is $19.99, and premium jumps to $26.99. Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to save money? Now we are all just paying cable prices with extra steps. Congrats, we played ourselves.

-----

The iHeartRadio Music Awards wrapped up last night, and if you are guessing who won everything, go ahead and say it with me. Taylor Swift. Again. Save everybody a few hours. Show up, wave, collect hardware, repeat.
