The List for Friday, September 29th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Well, today’s the day that Netflix sends out its final DVDs.  Don’t feel bad if you didn’t even know Netflix still mailed out DVDs.  Fewer than a million subscribers held on this long. Those of you who refused to quit your plans get an extra bonus:  You get to KEEP whatever comes your way.  Some subscribers have been chosen to receive 10 discs as a parting gift. At its peak, the DVD service had 20 million subscribers, and a library of more than 100,000 titles. Netflix shipped its first DVD in 1998.  It was “Beetlejuice”.

Dylan Scott tells People magazine that working with a jackhammer was the hardest thing he’s ever done. “You would think … let the thing do the work. But all the tendons in your hands and the muscles in your hands. He did it for two days, he can still feel it. That was the hardest two days of his life.”

The producers of the new “Exorcist” movie had to change their release date to avoid going up against Taylor Swift’s concert movie.  But they briefly considered going head-to-head, and trying to create another “Barbenheimer” . . . although this one would have been called “ExorSwift”. And Cops did a welfare check on Britney Spears, after her video where she’s dancing with knives.  Police talked to her security, who said she was okay, then left…yeah…Britney Spears is just….fine…no worries there….

The inaugural “People’s Choice Country Awards” went down last night in Nashville . . . and if you were busy watching football, “The Golden Bachelor”, or “Lego Masters”, I understand.  You didn’t miss much.  If they’re going to give us a fourth awards show in one calendar year, at least make it unique.  There was nothing fresh or new.  Morgan Wallen won the big award, People’s Artist of 2023, and he wasn’t there.   Neither was Jelly Roll after winning Male Artist.  Also not there? Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban . . . to name a few.

—–

Michael Gambon . . . who played Professor Dumbledore in the final six “Harry Potter” movies . . . died after a bout of pneumonia.  He was 82.  Daniel Radcliffe called him, quote, “one of the most brilliant, effortless actors I’ve ever had the privilege of working with.”

And lastly, you never have to worry about Luke Combs not getting enough exercise….He tells Music Mayhem Magazine that he burns a massive amount of calories during his concerts. “I wear a WHOOP band fitness tracker while on stage and burn around 2,600 calories per show and my band averages anywhere from four to five or six miles.”

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

The List for Monday June 16th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just picked up 34 new certifications from the RIAA over the weekend. That's not a typo—thirty-four. That officially makes him the second-highest selling country artist of all time. So yeah, Luke’s not just crying at your wedding—he’s crying all the way to the bank.

-----

Brantley Gilbert stopped mid-song when a fan fainted—cleared the crowd, checked on her himself, and then went full WWE on a lazy security guard: “Don’t stand there in a uniform if you ain’t gonna do sh—. Go on somewhere. Bye!” Crowd erupted. Security probably updated their LinkedIn.

-----

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly done. “People” magazine says the couple’s been on the rocks, and it’s basically over. They’ve been together since 2016 and have a daughter, Daisy, who turns 5 in August. Well, love may bloom... but sometimes it just wilts.

-----

Rob Lowe admits his favorite workout song is “the cheesiest thing in the world.” And what is it? "Eye of the Tiger." That’s right—straight outta Rocky 3. He says he won’t max out without it. Meanwhile, if he’s running? No music. Just raw-dogging the wind like a true ‘80s action hero.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
