The List for Monday, August 7th 2023

Welcome to The List,

We start today with Carrie Underwood opening for Guns N’ Roses on Saturday in Canada.  Fans were treated to a mix of her hits, plus covers of some iconic rock songs.  Several videos of her performance have been making rounds.  And we have the receipts…check them out on our website under The List.  She did a great cover of the Heart classic “Alone”.  (Here’s the video.)  And she totally let loose on Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades”.  (Here’sclip of that.)

Before Paul Reubens passed, he completed over 40 hours of interviews for an upcoming HBO documentary about Pee-Wee Herman.  Also, fans have been leaving flowers at the South Pasadena house used in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”.  And Danny Elfman honored him at his concert Saturday.

A movie based on the Monopoly game has been in the works for years.  But looks like one will FINALLY happen, but there aren’t any details.

The Grand Ole Opry announced Tuesday (August 1st) that Jon Pardi will officially become a member on October 24th.  Pardi was officially asked to join the Opry while performing at the Stagecoach festival in April. “When I first saw Guy (Fieri) on stage, I was like, ‘What is Guy doing on stage and how’d he get a microphone?’ He knew about it for a long time and like we’re buddies, he never said anything.” Pardi heads out on his headlining Mr. Saturday Night World Tour this month with dates coming up in the U.S., Canada, and several across Europe including stops in the U.K., before heading back stateside for his Oct. 24th Opry induction.

This is interesting….Netflix is releasing a movie where VIEWERS decide the ending… It’s their first-ever interactive rom-com where viewers will decide how the film ends. ”Choose Love” is about a recording engineer, who has to choose between three lovers … her current boyfriend, a pop star and an old crush. Cami goes to a psychic for help. ”Choose Love” starts streaming on August 31st.

As the Barbie movie makes another $30-million at the box office. Mattel is releasing a Weird Barbie Doll. It costs $50. It’s description reads: ”If anyone knows anything about keeping it weird, it’s Weird Barbie, a breakout character from Barbie The Movie. It doesn’t end there…no, The New York Post says dozens of women have gotten a Barbie nose job. Plastic surgeons crafted their noses to look just like Barbie’s. Barbie nose jobs cost an average of $4,000 overseas while in the U.S. they can cost as much as $30,000.  MY question is it Margot Robbie’s nose?  Or …more of a triangular nose you might find on a doll let’s say….

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
