The List for Thursday, February 10th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Valentines Day is so close and country love I think is the best…and the love songs…

Jordan Davis talks about HIS favorites "You know, me and my wife's first dance was 'I'm Gonna Lose You,' John Legend and Meghan Trainor I think also a love song that I heard the other day is 'Strawberry Wine' from Deana Carter. Great love song. I listened to that a lot. Ooh, Deana Carter. Well done."

-----

And Jon Pardi he’s learned a lot about the holiday from his wife Summer.  "Is that gifts are cool, diamonds, blah, blah, blah, but to take your time and clear your mind and write something about what she means to you on a card is probably the most least expensive and the biggest price you can give her is just to write and tell her how much you love her on a little card. That's what she taught me for Valentine's Day, so I just do that. It's way cheaper.”

-----

Poor Tim McGraw with three daughter and Faith on his arm you would think he’d learned something about women but “I have learned absolutely nothin’. It’s still an enigma for me, women. There’s no hope, and I think that’s the beauty of it. They’re the most complicated and beautiful things in the world.” Hang in there buddy, it’ll be ok

-----

People magazine says Bob Saget died of a head injury. Investigators think and was confirmed by the family on Wednesday that he hit his head and then went to sleep without realizing he was injured. No drugs or alcohol were involved in Bob's death. He passed away in his sleep

-----

The first trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion, the long-awaited conclusion to the Jurassic franchise, has been released -- and the original Jurassic Park stars are back. If you remember from 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs have now escaped from the islands where they were previously held and are spreading chaos across the globe.  The trailer teases to be the “epic conclusion” of the Jurassic era. In theaters this summer. See the teaser below….

The List for Wednesday, February 9th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Today is National Pizza Day!!! Darius Rucker remembers when he used to mop floors and make pizza ... he says: "I was fifteen, and I worked at a pizza place, and the guy decided that at fifteen, that I could not only clean the floors and wash the dishes, but I also had to make pizza. So, for two months, he taught me how to make pizza" I wonder if he still makes pizza at home…for the kids…and then cleans up…you know..old habits  and all.

-----

Variety magazine says production costs for ''Mission Impossible 7'' have soared past $290 million. That's $100 million more than ''Mission Impossible: Fallout'' cost to produce in 2018. They’re blaming the larger cost on the Coronavirus and not so much Tom Cruises antics. After a couple delays Mission Impossible 7 is set for release September of THIS year.

-----

Valentines Day has changed so much, especially if you’re married with kids…it used to be a nice dinner, a glass of wine, watch a movie but Thomas Rhett in HIS house says being “romantic” is very different. “Me being romantic is really just helping, if that makes any sense. Like, if something is out of place, put it up. If the kids need to go take a nap, I make lunches in the morning before the kids get up to go to school, and all that kind of stuff. And so, when I’m off the road, being super present with my kids has turned into the new romanticism.”

-----

Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson is now calling Kim Kardashian his girlfriend officially and The NY Post says he has a Kim Kardashian prayer candle on display in his bedroom. He was doing a Zoom interview when a reporter questioned him about the candle. It shows Kim in a blue gown holding a cross…creepy….

-----

Yellowstone fans will be happy to know that season 5 has a premiere date.

Duck 02/08/2022

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, DUCK!

Duck was brought in as a stray and was never claimed. She was found

frolicking in the pond pestering all of the ducks. They believe she is a

labrador mix and roughly 3-4 years old.

 

She does not like cats and gets along well with some dogs. She has a lot of energy and would need an

active household.

Duck's perfect house would either have a fenced in

yard or to live out in the country so she has room to run.

To find out more about her contact ARL at 641-753-9046

The List for Friday, February 4th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The Olympic games are officially ON….what is YOUR favorite competition…I like the Halfpipe snowboarding events, Carrie Underwood Is Looking Forward To Olympic Figure Skating ... "It is really hard to pick one Olympic sport that I love to watch and is my favorite because there’s always something going on, and it's always just kind of nice to tune in and see how we're doing as a country. “Growing up, I always loved figure skating. I always thought the girls were so beautiful and graceful and strong and athletic. I mean, I remember dancing around our living room pretending I was an ice skater, even though I'd never been on the ice before.” Curling, Figure Skating and Hocky and the Snowboarding events are today.

Jennifer Lopez plays a pop star in her new movie called “Marry Me” and talks about how she “There was so much like I didn’t have to think about what is it like to perform in front of 50 thousand people I knew what that’s like.  I knew this woman’s life so well, I don’t think I’ve ever played a character that felt so much like me.” That to ME I think would feel a little like the Twilight Zone…Watch for Jennifer Lopez and "Marry Me" in theaters and streaming on Peacock next Friday.
