The List for Wednesday, January 5th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Everyone is looking forward to a positive 2022…Chris Stapleton is looking to go on the road as well as Jordan Davis with Dierks Bentley early in the new year and Jon Pardi? He’s looking forward to new music if he could just…get…to it…“We haven’t had no time to work on it because I’ve (only) been home about two or three days for the past three months, it seems like, and I haven’t been writing. I’ve been doing nothing but touring. So, I’m gonna get some songwriting in and finish this album.” He sounds a little frustrated…

Zac Brown has a unique way of working out.  Telling GQ magazine that he does it while playing video games. Saying he’s got an overactive brain, so he had to figure out some way that he could do cardio. So, he set up his Arc Trainer right in front of his PlayStation and play’s ‘Madden’.  The time slips by fast—mentally, he’s going to play football; and doesn’t even think about working out…. maybe have to try that…

Producer Steve Boettcher says Betty White recorded a tribute to her fans 10 days before she passed. He tells Entertainment Tonight that the greeting will most likely appear in Betty’s upcoming movie, ‘Betty White: A Celebration’. saying “It was kind of a tribute to her fans that were going to be with her at the event.  ‘Betty White: A Celebration’, in theaters one night only on Betty’s 100th birthday January 17th you can see it at Movies 12 in Ames, Cinemark in Altoona and Jordan Creek 20 in Des Moines.

A little something for the beer drinker and Dallas Cowboys fans in 2022.  Fox NFL announcer Troy Aikman is releasing a new beer in February called Eight. The healthy beer is made with organic grains, antioxidant hops and no sugar. The beer only has 90 calories BUT will NOT help you throw a fifty yard pass into a trash can.  Although you may THINK you can after a few of them.

He’s putting down the shield and putting on his dancing shoes…Captain America Chris Evans is reportedly going to play legendary actor Gene Kelly the iconic musical movie star of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’.  Just weeks after another Marvel Studios star Tom Holland (Spider-Man) confirmed he was going to make a movie about Fred Astaire.  No studio is attached to it yet, but the script is in development.

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

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