Welcome to The List,
First off congratulations to Chris Stapleton on his Grammy win for Best Country Album, Solo Performance and of course Brothers Osborne for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. I was glad to see no one got smacked.

Checking those trends and what people think are cool…Tesla cars are now in some places are being used to hunt ghosts in cemeteries. The trend started last October when a man posted a video of himself driving through a cemetery. His dashboard cam showed a person in front of his car even though no one was there. Glitch in the software…or…a ghost…YOU decide.

The Sun says Will Smith is allegedly heading to a celebrity sanctuary to relax. A source tells the newspaper, He’ll be doing a lot of soul searching and working out how he can move forward….Some would even say Jada shares some of that responsibility. Will’s fate with the Academy will be decided on April 18th, where he COULD lose his Oscar.

Erich Church in some hot water with fans over cancelling his show Saturday in Texas to attend the Final Four game between North Carolina and Duke. Well, Erich is offering a free concert in September to make up for it. Which is nice…by the way North Carolina won 81 – 77 over Duke.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma there’s a donut shop, called Big Baby Rolls, and they’ve created Sylvester Stallone donuts. The glazed donuts have white icing and Sly’s likeness on top. Because that’s what Rocky and Rambo are known for..Sylvester DID however post a video with one of the donuts. He said being on the donut is his greatest accomplishment.

Hooray for Hollywood: Here are this past weekend’s box office results.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.
-----
Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
You can catch The List with Jonathan Knight, weekday afternoons at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
