The List for Monday, January 15th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Back in 2015, Hardy was still a struggling musician, playing for tips.  And one night, instead of a tip, someone wrote "QUIT!" on a napkin and dropped it in his jar. Well, Hardy didn't quit.  He doubled down And on Friday, he released a song about it.  Not surprisingly, it's called "QUIT!" It’s not radio friendly…but you can check it out!!

-----

Comedian Jo Koy is still stinging from the reception he got when he hosted the Golden Globes, but it's not his fault.  He's blaming the AUDIENCE. During a standup gig in St. Louis on Friday, he called celebrities, quote, "marshmallows" . . . adding, quote, "They're delicious, but holy cow, they're soft.  I just come from a different time.

-----

Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan had a scary emergency landing on Friday while flying home out of St. Louis.  Luke says it was 16 degrees and winds were blowing at 40 miles per hour, so some instruments on the plane weren't working properly. But it all worked out.  They were able to rent a car, and make a stop at Dairy Queen, with Jason behind the wheel.  Check out their live stream HERE.

Earlier this month Jason Momoa mentioned that he didn't have a home and lives on the road since he's been busy with work. Well, he felt the need to clarify that he is NOT homeless . . . he's just houseless. He has a nice trailer, he just hasn’t bought a house yet..and he’s excited to be a first time home owner…
