The List for Thursday, June 16th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Even though Tim McGraw stars in 1883 a TV show about settlers. He tells HollywoodReporter.com that he doesn’t believe he would have made a good settler. “The first lush meadow I saw within three days of traveling, I would’ve said, ‘this is a good spot right here’.

This is kinda fun!!  With Father’s Day is THIS Sunday, “Sesame Street” is celebrating by unleashing a “Friends” parody.  Basically, it’s a fun song that re-works the show’s theme, “I’ll Be There for You”. It includes subtle “Friends” references, like a creative rendition of “Smelly Cat” . . . a puppet wearing Joey’s Thanksgiving turkey hat . . . and a nod to Ross’ “pivot!” You can check it out NOW

Carrie Underwood’s two little boys haven’t discovered her music.  Yet.  Isaiah is seven and Jacob is three, so you know they’ll eventually come around.  But as of right now, “I know the Blipie theme song, Isaiah would watch Power Rangers and then he’d be like could you play Power Ranger songs in the car. We’d go through that faze, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle songs.  Kids have terrible taste in music.” She played The Stagecoach Festival this year in California and says the best part for HER was when Axl Rose joined her to perform “Sweet Child O’Mine” and “Paradise City”

What’s more important than winning an Oscar?  To MOST actors the answer is NOTHING…but if you ask Samuel L. Jackson?  He’s over it!  He likes to GO to the Oscars…the gift baskets. But, he’d rather be Nick Fury or have fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.  He doesn’t care about the statue…he cares about the fans…

Chris Stapleton is getting his own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame.  There will be tons of stuff to see, including instruments, clothes . . . and even his Waffle House Golden Waffle award as the most-played artist on their jukeboxes in 2019.  The exhibit will run from July 1st of this year, through May 14th of 2023.

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

The List for Thursday, February 12th 2026

Welcome to The List,

We are saddened to report that James Van Der Beek has passed away at the age of 48 after battling stage 3 colorectal cancer. His family confirmed the news on social media, sharing that he had been fighting the disease since August 2023. Van Der Beek became a household name as Dawson Leery on Dawson's Creek, a show that defined a generation of television. He leaves behind his wife and six children. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

Players on the winning Super Bowl team get $178,000 from the NFL. But Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold could reportedly lose money because of California’s “jock tax.” Out-of-state players get taxed based on duty days spent in the state. With his massive contract and bonuses, estimates say he could owe between $200,000 and $250,000. Win the ring, lose to taxes. Classic.

-----

Luke Combs just revealed the full 22-song tracklist for his new album The Way I Am. It includes a duet with Alison Krauss. And a song written by Cody Johnson. Twenty-two songs is not an album. That is a weekend.

-----

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly ending her talk show and says she has no regrets. Sources say it is about quality of life, not money. She is excited, but sad to leave staff she considers family. Sometimes success is not about doing more. It is about breathing again.
