The List for Wednesday, January 25th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Comedian Kevin Hart is going on tour and his demands are very specific in his contract rider.  It was posted online yesterday, and it covers 46 pages of specific things he needs and wants.  Some of those things include. Listerine mouth wash, floss sticks, a 25-ounce container of Vaseline lip therapy in the “Original flavor,” four “Man scented candles” for the star’s dressing room and bathroom. and a very specific stool for on stage. The stool is SO specific they give the Amazon link where it can be purchased and add  quote, “substitutions will not be accepted.”…What is a ‘man scented” candle?  I bet it smells like what The Rock is cookin…

Blake Shelton would like “The Voice” to GIVE him the chair he’s been sitting in all these years . . . as a retirement present.  And if they’re not open to the idea, he’s willing to buy it.  He wants to put it in the house he build with the money he got from the show.  How much do you think something like that would cost?

Everyone wants to be a superhero now…Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry thinks he should be cast in the next ‘Black Panther” movie.  He even tells them that he wants them to shoot in the Summer. And Richard Gere tells Comic Book Movie magazine that he’s open to playing a superhero. Saying if there’s something quirky and unexpected and it doesn’t just end up with a big fight at the end of the movie – which they all do – it might be of interest to me, sure!”

Do you watch TV before bed?  The numbers are out and they show most of us watch Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers before shut eye.  Others making that list include Basketball, Modern Family and Baseball which seem to ME to be the ones that would put you to sleep the fastest.

Carly Pearce loves to run, but back during quarantine, she got a lot of walking in because of a very unlikely walking companion. Her cat Emmylou. “I found her in quarantine when I was staying with my parents in Alabama, she likes to be walked. And about 3 o’clock every day she would literally like, look at the door, like, ‘Are you gonna walk me?’ And she’s huge. She’s so fat. Her fat hangs to the ground. And I would take her and put her on a leash, and she would just walk down the road, and wanted to walk.”  Carly has been spending most of her time in Nashville lately, working on her next album and rehearsing to hit the road with Blake Shelton on his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour, which kicks off February 16th.

Country music WILL be represented at this year’s Super Bowl.  Chris Stapleton is going to perform the National Anthem.  The game starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, so tune in a little early to make sure you don’t miss it.

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

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
