You know someone we haven’t seen or heard from in a while is Jack Nicholson…well a friend of his says Jack doesn’t work anymore because, quote, “He’s doing whatever he really wants to do.  He wants to be quiet.  He wants to eat what he wants.  He wants to live the life he wants.” Which I’m sure means never missing a Lakers game.

Luke Combs says that if he wins any awards tonight, just know that whatever he says on stage is “in the moment, and from the heart” He NEVER writes acceptance speeches because he feels sometimes things get put in them that are disingenuous and are to please everyone. Eventually, we’re gonna be dropping ‘Shout out to Mountain Dew’ in there. It’s bad luck, he’s never done it and isn’t going to start now.

Tim McGraw thinks social media and the 24-hour news cycle are the main reasons the country is so divided right now.  And we need to get back to realizing, “we’re more alike than we are different.”

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
