Welcome to The List,
You might remember back in June, when John Cena set a record with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for fulfilling 650 wishes. Maybe not but he did!! Well, he’s now being recognized by the Guinness World Records. John is now listed under “Most Wishes Granted Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation”. No one else has even fulfilled more than 200 wishes. Back when he hit the 500 wish mark, John said, quote, “I just drop everything. If I can offer a fantastic experience, I’ll be first in line to do my part.”

Just found over the weekend that Pop star Rihanna will headline the 57th Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 12th in Arizona. She confirmed the news with a photo on Instagram of her hand holding a football. I know everyone on the Las Vegas Raiders looks forward to watching it on TV.

Unless you already know the answer to this, I’m 100% certain you’d never get it right. Luke Combs was asked to name his go-to Karaoke song, and his answer was . . . “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Eiffel 65…

Darth Vader has retired….well, his actor that does the voice…has…James Earl Jones has been the voice of Vader since the original movie back in 1977, but he’s 91 years old now, and he just officially retired. He did, however, give Lucasfilm and Disney the right to digitally recreate his voice going forward, so the character can live on.

A new horror movie is coming out this week, it’s called ‘Smile’ and the studio found a creative way to let people know about it … sending background actors to live baseball games, front and center. In all of them, there was at least one person positioned behind home plate that held a super creepy smile the entire time. We’ll take a closer look at ‘Smile’ Thursday with ‘At the Movies’ during the Drive at Five.

We end on some sage advice Jackson Dean got from Clay Walker who actually got from George Strait….. “He says, ‘No matter what, you have to put this first, cause if you don’t, your family doesn’t eat. Whatever you have to do to keep yourself running, do it. Whoever has to go, whoever has to step in, make it happen. And just make sure that you keep your [stuff] straight,’ is what he said to me.”
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Join us Thursday during the Drive at Five for ‘At The Movies” brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames..
In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
