The List for Thursday, May 20th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Blake Shelton made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon and talked about his and Gwen Stefani's first song at their wedding. “It’s ‘If You Leave’ from the Pretty In Pink soundtrack.” Jimmy doesn’t believe him but if it’s true…it would be great!  The Live Two-Night Finale of 'The Voice' airs on Monday, May 24th and Tuesday, May 25th on NBC.

Eric Church Says He Really Misses Touring ... it’s like therapy for him.“I think music for me and being on stage was a lot of therapy.  I think that’s been the biggest thing I’ve missed, I’ve been doing it longer than I’ve been doing something else.”

Dave Bautista talks about 'Guardians Of The Galaxy 3' and it being his last movie as ‘Drax’ “The journey has come full circle, and I’m ready to step aside and wrap it up” Dave says he’ll be 54 years old when Guardians 3 comes out…but his new movie ‘Army of The Dead’  starts streaming on Netflix tomorrow

Five of the original Brady Bunch cast members are going to star in a new holiday movie called ''Blending Christmas.'' It will air on the Lifetime Channel and will star Barry Williams (Greg), Christopher Knight (Peter), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), Susan Olsen (Cindy) and Robbie Rist (Cousin Oliver)

The List for Wednesday, May 19th 2021

Welcome to The List,

On the road again….Seems to be the anthem for many country acts now that some restrictions are being lifted… After canceling their entire 2020 Ocean Tour, Lady A has announced a return to the road, with the country trio to embark on their What a Song Can Do Tour this July.  Lady A will be joined at some stops by opening acts Carly Pearce, Niko Moon and Tenille Arts.

Keith Urban on the regret he feels with his latest album. “The Heartbreak was not just getting to take this album live out on the road.  I just want to get out and tour, and the UK has been on our list.  So, I’m just ready to get out and play, I’m really ready to come out and bring these songs to life with a real audience.” Keith Urban’s “The Speed of Now Part 1” is out now…

The third Creed film is officially in the works and as the franchise continues to tell the story of Rocky, fans have seen characters from the original films make appearances in the revived series. But could they possibly see one of the more dominating characters make a return to the realm of Rocky? Like Mr. T? He played Clubber Lang in Rocky III, when asked if HE would return in some way…Mr. T, just said he would feel kinda awkward. Adding his best part in the film would be to just support it.

Yesterday we reported that Ariana Grande will be taking Nick Jonas seat next season on The Voice.  The Globe is reporting today…that, Kelly Clarkson is not excited about the change.  it’s obvious to Kelly the pop princess will be treated like a queen bee. The other judges are just rolling their eyes and telling her to get over herself. She’s already caused major drama with Blake Shelton, who’s rapidly tired of Kelly’s prima donna ways.''

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

The List for Tuesday, May 18th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Sam Hunt Talks About Writing His Latest #1 Song ... “Typically, I don’t know for sure that a song is going to be on a record until it’s finished, But that one, I would sit and write the track listing and I would put ‘Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s’ on the track listing before we even wrote the song, and I knew I had to get it right.”

Jordan Davis Is Excited About Having A Baby Boy ... "I would be lying to say that I wasn't hoping for a boy. You know I think it is a special thing to have a boy coming. You know, mainly 'cause I look back on like the really cool things I did with my Dad that were like special to me. You know hunting and fishing and kinda being outdoors with him. It's something we're really excited for and pumped for. He's dues in September."..May I suggest a name…Jonathan..is pretty strong..

Rumors circulate around Benifer and were it’s going….The National Enquirer claims Ben Affleck is allegedly open to eloping with Jennifer Lopez and J-Lo…not so much…she’s acting as if this is just a fling with two old friends…Ben’s on a speedboat where this romance is concerned, while she’s in a rowboat.

The season finale of ‘This Is Us’ Season 5 is next Tuesday and Milo Ventimiglia who plays Jack Pearson got to direct the episode and says THIS about  what we can expect. “It’s one of those episodes that, I feel like people are going to be upset, but in a ‘Oh no you didn’t’ kinda way. I think it’s one of those kinds of moments for the finale.” Season 6 of ‘This Is Us’ is said to be the final season…

Happy Birthday to Country singer David Nail He’s 42, Tina Fey is 51 and King George…Strait is 69

Today in 1963, The Beatles start their first tour as the featured act and in 1985, Simple Minds – Don’t You (Forget About Me) hits #1
