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."

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

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.

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.

The List for Monday, March 18th 2024

Welcome to The List,

If you ever wanted to know why Eric Church wears sunglasses onstage all the time?  Now we know…apparently, it's because his eyes don't self-lubricate well, so his contacts used to dry up under the hot lights and he'd go blind….

-----

Radar Online reports Vin Diesel is upset with producers for rejecting his $250 million budget request for Fast 11. Universal execs are urging him to lower the budget due to the previous film's lackluster box office showing. Vin has to prove to the studio that fans will show up in huge numbers" to witness the end of the saga. Which is NOT what happened for Fast X….

-----

We now know the only reason that country legend George Jones lived past 1963 is because he ate Patsy Cline's fried chicken.  Sounds strange but she got so mad at him that she wouldn't let him on the plane back to Nashville.  That plane crashed killing Patsy and everyone onboard.

-----

The inventor of the karaoke machine has died at the age of 100.  And a new study claims that "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond is the best karaoke song for people who CAN'T SING…interesting…..

The List for Friday, March 15th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Luke Bryan is praying for the safe return of the missing student who was last seen leaving his Nashville bar Friday night.  His 32 Bridge bar has been working with local police to provide security camera footage. Allegedly, bar security booted him for being to drunk…even though his buddy’s wanted to go with him, they had to pay their tab before leaving. By that time…he was nowhere to be found.

-----

So it begins…Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are allegedly seeking couple's therapy to save their marriage. A source says, “They didn’t come into this marriage thinking that it might fail, but there has been a lot more tension than either of them expected. So, therapy and the plan is to give Ben plenty of space to try to regain some stability.”

-----

More of the interview Jelly Roll gave to “GQ” has been released Jelly says of his tattoos he "regrets 98% of them . . . almost all of them."  His best advice if you're thinking about getting a tattoo, is don't go cheap.  He said, "If you can't afford the artist, you want right now, start putting money in a coffee can until you can."

-----

And finally, 'N Sync surprised fans with their first live performance since 2013 at Justin Timberlake's album release show Wednesday night.  They performed a four-song set, including their new song "Paradise".
