Welcome to The List,
Tonight is the night…AWARDS night…and Luke Bryan talks about what you can expect “If you’ve never seen the CMA Awards, first of all, pray for the guy hosting and sit back and enjoy an example and microcosm of many, many flavors of music, the realness and relatability and the stories of the songs that you’re hearing and the uniqueness of the artists and how the artists gives you where they’re from, who they are through their music.” Yeah, it’s Luke’s first time hosting the show so don’t miss The 2021 CMA Awards tonight 7pm on ABC.

Ah…humility….it’s a good thing to hold onto once you’ve made it big. Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey tells WideOpenCountry.com that his wife keeps him grounded at home saying “It’s quite a switch! You get off the stage and it’s like ‘Ahh, I am the greatest man that ever lived’ and then you come home and the wife’s like , ‘Go take out the trash.’ She definitely keeps me humble.”

Ladies, if you ever thought of dating Brad Pitt was out of the question…well, your luck is about to change…US Weekly Magazine says Brad Pitt is done dating people in the Hollywood industry. A source tells the magazine “Brad is skeptical of most of the women he likes. And he doesn’t want to date anyone in the industry because of what he’s gone through. He doesn’t want another Angie.” I’m sure we can find a suitable replacement in Kix country!

People Magazine’s 2021 Sexiest Man Alive!! Is Paul Rudd? Yes Antman is SEXAY!!! And he says he’s getting business cards made…what does he REALLY expect to get out of this? “All of my friends will destroy me…and I expect them to. That’s why they’re my friends.” He thinks this will change his life A LOT..maybe get invited to some of the “Sexy Dinners’ with Clooney, Pitt and B. Jordan and figures he’ll be on a lot more yachts, get better at brooding under soft light and be more mysterious.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country Kix 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs tells Southern Living he is a simple Southern comfort food guy. Barbecue, mac and cheese, cornbread, and he is happy. No truffle foam. No tiny portions on giant plates. So next time he swings through KIX Country, forget the autograph. Hand that man a brisket and watch the magic happen.

Rumors say Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have allegedly made relationship resolutions to avoid drifting apart. Sources claim they are being more intentional with work, church, health, and actual date nights. Less coasting, more communicating. A very deliberate reset, according to insiders. Nothing says romance like a scheduled calendar invite.
-----
Riley Green admits he has never celebrated Valentine’s Day with a girlfriend. He calls himself a procrastinator and jokes that Christmas gifts get wrapped in newspaper. Romantic. Truly. He says a Valentine’s date would likely involve last-minute grocery store flowers. Sir, the bar is already low. Please step over it.

Post Malone hit the stage at a Bud Light Super Bowl show and found out beers were $14. He called it unacceptable and tried dropping the price to $7, then $5, even joked about $3 for Cowboys fans. Spoiler alert. The bartenders kept charging full price. The crowd still had fun. But we can all agree, fourteen dollars for a beer is emotional damage.
Catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
