The List for Monday, March 29th 2021

Welcome to The List -

Brett Young says it’s going to be hard to top his hit "Lady" because it’s so personal  ... " This is literally a song about my wife to my daughter. I don’t know that I’ll ever do anything that personal. Not because I don’t want to; I just don’t know that there’s something that personal that I can ever do again.”

Thomas Rhett Says "What's Your Country Song" Includes A Shout-Out To His Father, Rhett Akins ... " I remember the first line that I spit out was, ‘Are you heart broke because you know that ain’t your truck in her drive,’ literally as a joke, just cause dad was sitting there.  And as we started to write the song, it felt like it just fit.  It was pretty funny, but I’m glad Dad got a shout out in that song."

The Wrap says Sharon Osbourne is leaving "The Talk". She and her co-hosts got into an argument after she defended Piers Morgan's offensive comments about Meghan Markle. Perez Hilton says Sharon plans to sue CBS. They quote a source as saying, “She feels a few suits at CBS have really have got it in for her. Sharon won’t let this go.”

The Voice is scheduled to begin its first Battle Rounds of Season 20 tonight, but you’ll notice a new face sitting in coach Kelly Clarkson's chair. Kelly will be absent from the show due to an illness, so if you're wondering where she is, there's no need to worry. The Battle Rounds were filmed in January, and Clarkson will soon be back in her red chair on the show — but in the meantime, she called in country music star Kelsea Ballerini to take her place.

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

Brett Young talks to Kelly Clarkson about his 10-week BY40 Challenge that he's doing with his fans. “We created this challenge were like people could complete a task and earn points. Dawn and myself did meet and greets and show tickets stuff like that as prizes that you could win by competing in the challenge.” If you’re interested in joining you can click this link BY40 Challenge

Dustin Lynch loves singing in the shower…who doesn’t but what is his song of choice? “The song I belt out randomly in the shower has to be a Bing Crosby version of It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and this could hit in the summer time.  I have no idea what’s wrong with me, but Bing gets me going when I’m sudsing up.”  I’m more of a Barnie fan so..that’s just between us.

George Clooney Never Dreamed Of Having Children  “And then I met Amal, and realized that my life had been pretty empty, and then when you throw these two kids in there you suddenly you realize how incredibly empty it was and you know it just fills it up…makes it fun.”

The Daily Mail says The Rock is once again posting pictures of his cheat meals. One picture showed three large pizzas and two dozen donuts while another showed two hamburgers and a giant plate of fries. The Rock had two cinnamon buns and a giant piece of cheesecake during one cheat day….He’s trolling me I know it…that’s the only thing I can figure he’s doing…I thought we were friends…

The List for Monday, March 22nd 2021

Welcome to The List -

Garth was on the Ellen show and Twitch was guest hosting and ask Garth about cowboy hats and when exactly do you know to wear one.“You just wear the cowboy hat whenever, we just did the inauguration, we wore it there, it all depends on the weather outside.  Just mostly, guys like me mostly just hang out in ballcaps.” He and Trisha celebrated 15 years of marriage by hashing out all of their problems while quarantining. Trisha says talking about the "hard stuff" with Garth made their relationship stronger. Garth is excited to be honored by the Kennedy Center this May.

Carrie Underwood is spending Easter Sunday at the Ryman Auditorium.  She’s announced a livestream concert in support of her new gospel album My Savior.

Sunday April 4th at noon Eastern.

Remember the Jerry Springer show??  After all those years, Jerry dishes on what we’ve always known. “If you called us with a warm uplifting story, we were required to send you to another show. We were only allowed to do things that were outside the norms of proper behavior. So I knew everyday going in, I would be handed something that was crazy. It was really a circus; we didn’t deal with serious issues. The show was stupid.”  It may have been a stupid show but it sure was entertaining…

IGN News says a third Ace Ventura movie is in the works. No word on if Jim Carrey is going to star in the film. We Got This Covered says Amazon Prime may buy the rights to the movie.

Eddie Murphy is working on ''Beverly Hills Cop 4.'' …All we know about the project is that there will be NO banana in the tailpipe…maybe a bottle of Metamucil…
