The List for Thursday, June 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Roseanne Barr says they asked her to come back to The Conners... as a ghost. She told Female First, “You killed me off, stole my show, and NOW you want me back ‘cause your ratings are in the toilet?” Her official response? “I’ll be busy… bowling.” Translation: hard pass, Casper.

-----

Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany just lived out every Southern girl’s nightmare. She posted a video of a snake just chillin’ at their front door like it was there to sell cookies. You hear her go, “This is what nightmares are made of!” No ma’am. That’s what FLAMETHROWERS are made for.

-----

If you're a Stranger Things junkie and haven’t emotionally recovered from Season 4 yet, good news! A new animated spinoff called Tales from '85 is coming next year. It fills in the winter gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Same Hawkins weirdness—just now with cartoons and probably fewer nosebleeds.

-----

Wanna drink where the country stars pretend to be regular people? The top-rated bars are in! We got Old Dominion’s Odie’s, Luke Combs’ Category 10—which sounds like a hurricane and a hangover—and of course Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Honky tonk? More like honky bougie.

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