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 Friday, December 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Sad news from the NASCAR world. Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, has died at age 55 in a plane crash in North Carolina. Authorities say seven people were killed, including Biffle, his wife Cristina, and their two children. Beyond his racing success, Biffle was widely praised for his humanitarian work, especially helping communities after Hurricane Helene. The racing world is mourning a champion on and off the track.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

-----

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
