The List for Thursday, August 24th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Matthew McConaughey doesn't smoke pot.  At least that's the word from his wife Camila Alves.  She says, "I don't think people actually [have] this image of Matthew "When we first started dating, it was this image of Matthew of getting high, laid back, no shirt, whatever.  Which, I'm like, 'The guy doesn't even smoke.  What is this vision coming from?'  Oh I don’t know Camila maybe it was his naked bongo-playing, pot-smoking arrest in 1999..

National Dog Day is Saturday.  So to get ready for the occasion, dog dad Chris Evans made a surprise visit to a shelter in New York City called Animal Haven to promote adoption. Chris gave the shelter dogs lots of treats from premium dog food brand Jinx . . . and also belly rubs. Watch a video of his visit at People.com.

-----

Tim McGraw is a global superstar, but he'll always be a Louisiana boy at heart.  I'm basing that on his favorite foods.  He told "ET Canada" that his go-to cheat meal is peas and cornbread, collard greens, pork chops, rice, and gravy.  When he reaches for something sweet, it might be Coca-Cola cake, or Cocoa Puffs.

-----

TMZ says Kevin Hart recently injured himself in a race against former NFL player Stevan Ridley. "I'm in a wheelchair. Why? Well, because I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff. Me and Stevan, we got into a little debate. This debate was based off of who's faster. We get out there. We go run the 40 yard dash. Tore my lower abdomen. My adductors are torn. I don't even know what that is, but I tore them. I tore those too. I can't walk." Kevin calls himself the "stupidest man alive" for attempting the race.

-----

Garth Brooks tells The Tennessean newspaper that he envisions his Friends in Low Places bar as "the Chick-Fil-A of honky-tonks." "I want a thumping, crazy place where people feel good — but they're also safe, loved, comfortable, and are treated well with good manners." Still no word on when the grand opening will be..the website just says “opening soon”

-----

A.V. CLUB says the Barbie movie will be released in IMAX theaters on September 22nd. The film will have brand new bonus footage and Page Six says Britney Spears recently got a new puppy named Snow.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
