The List for Thursday, March 21st 2024

Welcome to The List,

Where is Richard Simmons!! Well, after being very cryptic on social media lately even posting that he was dying…he posted on Facebook about having skin cancer, and going to the doctor to have it removed.  But after getting a huge response, he revealed that it actually happened years ago.

-----

Screen Rant says the Rotten Tomatoes score for the ‘’Road House’’ remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, has surpassed the original. The remake, with Gyllenhaal playing a retired UFC fighter turned bouncer, has a 69% score  compared to the 1989 original’s 41%. Critics are praising the remake for its fun approach and hard-hitting fist fights.

-----

A series of movies based on "The Neverending Story" is in the works.  The original came out 40 years ago, in 1984, and was followed by two sequels that didn’t do very well…so “Hey, lets make more”!

-----

Garth Brooks' bar opened in Nashville and while it has a pretty good rating overall, the people that don't like it REALLY don't like it.  One lady was offended that they were playing "Apple Bottom Jeans".

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

The List for Wednesday, March 20th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Bro Country love it or hate it…The YouTube channel "There I Ruined It" did a song called "What bro country sounds like to people who don't like bro country." In 90 seconds, it name-checks trucks 17 times, and beer 18 times.  100% of the lyrics are bro country clichés. They used a Luke Bryan A.I. to get the voice just right. (Here's the video.)

-----

Bill Murray tells Cinemablend that wearing the Ghostbusters pack for "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" was 'torture' at his age. “The packs were uncomfortable. They’re really heavy and, you know, wearing the pack a long time ago was miserable. Wearing the pack now is like torture.

-----

Luke Bryan tells Yahoo Style that Katy Perry was confused by his son's request for deer urine while hunting.  "Watching Katy Perry try to figure out what the hell me and my son were talking about, she was like, 'Did your son just ask you do you have any dope around the house?' I said, 'Katy, he's asking for doe pee.' I feel sorry for her and Lionel, and the country education that they have to get from me."

-----

If you’re hoping for an N’Sync reunion…don’t hold your breath! Joey Fatone says the other guys in 'N Sync aren't waiting around for Justin Timberlake to call.  In fact, they even have to say NO to him because, quote, "everybody's doing things, so either it works out or it doesn't."

The List for Tuesday, March 19th 2024

Welcome to The List,

It’s being reported that Travis Kelce may have a new gig in the future! He’s set to become a game show host for "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?" The show is being rebooted on Amazon Prime Video. The tight end will follow in the footsteps of previous host Jeff Foxworthy.

-----

A message from Reba, "Please don't believe everything you see on the Internet."  That's a direct quote from Reba McEntire, who just had to shoot down rumors she called Taylor Swift an "entitled little brat."  A fake news site ran the bogus story, and it's been making the rounds on Facebook.

-----

Oprah Winfrey hopes her TV special on weight loss will change the stigma around obesity and stop people from shaming others and themselves.  She didn't disclose which weight loss medication she takes…which begs the question that if she wants people to stop shaming others..why did she take the drug?

-----

Morgan Wallen teased a new song called "Redneck".  He posted a clip of it playing on a laptop, but didn't give a release date.

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

Rea-na 3/19/2024

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS REA-NA! Rea-na came to the ARL as a pregnant stray. She has weaned her kittens and is ready to find her forever home. She loves attention and pets - ear scratches are the best! Rea-na is a sweet cat that has lots of love to give. Rea-na's adoption fee covers her spay, vaccines, microchip and various other treatments. If you are interested in Rea-na, please stop by the front desk or call 641-753-9046. Rea-na is current office cat at the ARL. She is easy to spot being a bit on the chunky side. She would be good with other cats being pretty chill herself.
