The List for Tuesday, October 3rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

BroBible says 27 million viewers watched the Chiefs-Jets game on Sunday making it the most-watched TV show since the Super Bowl last February. Taylor Swift was at the game supporting Travis Kelce. NBC says the game was watched by an additional 2 million female viewers. How they know that I have no Idea, I CAN tell you that at the Giants-Seahawks game last night every time an ad for her concert came up on the Jumbotron it got booed.

Bailey Zimmerman Thanks His Fans For Taking His New Song, ‘Religiously’, To Number One  “Big day! Want to know why? Because ‘Religiously’ is number one of country radio in the US! Not only is ‘Religiously’ the number one song on country radio, but y’all sold out ‘Religiously: The Tour’! Everything that has happened in my life, everything that’s going on now, my music, the tours, everything, is because of y’all, and I can’t thank you enough. I love y’all, see you next year on ‘Religiously: The Tour’. Sold out. Let’s go!”  His tour kicks off February 1st in LA.

Well, Tom Brady did it…so did Justin Bieber, and Mark Wahlberg, Now, Riley Green. He tells CountryNow.com that modeling for an underwear campaign is something he never expected to do in his life. “It’s different. It wasn’t really something I was expecting to be doing with my life at 34. But apparently people want to see me in my underwear. So yay for me?”

Jon Pardi is feeling super festive this year.  He’ll be releasing an album called “Merry Christmas from Jon Pardi” on October 27th.  He’s also planning a “big ole Christmas party” . . . and you’re invited. It’s a one-night only show at the Beacon Theater in New York City on December 16th.  That one’s called “A Very Merry Christmas with Jon Pardi” . . . and “general” tickets go on sale this Friday at JonPardi.com.

We all saw Taylor Swift kicking it with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at the Chiefs game on Sunday.  But somebody else was in her posse.  His name is Shawn Levy, and he’s directing “Deadpool 3”. And now there’s all kinds of speculation that Taylor is going to be in the movie.  Who will she play?  The consensus is DAZZLER, a rock star (slash) superhero with the power to turn sound vibrations into light and energy beams.

 —–

And lastly, we’ve found out that Lainey Wilson, Thomas Rhett, and Lynyrd Skynyrd are headlining this year’s “New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash”.  The event will feature close to 50 performers from various locations around the city. The five-hour extravaganza will air live starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS and Paramount+.

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

The List for Monday, February 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just welcomed baby number three, and at this point he’s not running a family… he’s running a small football team. His new son is named Chet Wiley Combs, joining big brothers Tex and Beau, which also sounds like a law firm that only handles tractor-related lawsuits. Nicole is now outnumbered four to one, which means Luke finally achieved his lifelong dream… living in a non-stop WWE event with juice boxes.

-----

Matthew McConaughey says AI actors are coming for the Oscars, which means in five years the Best Actor speech will just be a laptop saying “Thank you… processing emotions.” The upside is AI doesn’t age, doesn’t argue, and doesn’t show up late. The downside… your favorite movie star might soon be a Dell Inspiron with better abs than you.

-----

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are getting sued over their restaurant “1587 Prime” by a sneaker company called “1587 Sneakers,” which proves two things… lawyers are undefeated, and apparently numbers are now copyrighted. Somewhere right now, the number 7 is hiring security and filing paperwork just to stay out of trouble.

-----

Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly texting late at night, which means somewhere Nicole Kidman is casually holding Keith’s phone like, “Oh look… Jennifer sent another smiley face.” Sources say matchmakers want them together, and honestly, if this happens, country and pop fans will unite faster than free beer at a wedding.

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