The List for Thursday, July 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll says he’s “obsessed” with training at the WWE Performance Center. Dude’s living there like it’s an Airbnb with dumbbells. He’s teaming up with Randy Orton at SummerSlam like this is the tag team we never knew we needed. Look out Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, Jelly Roll's not just bringing the vocals, he’s bringing the violence.

-----

Ronnie Dunn got caught using a lyric cheat sheet while singing "Whiskey Glasses" with Morgan Wallen… and didn’t even flinch. He joked, “I’m still learnin’ Neon Moon!” I mean, We’ve all sung the wrong verse at karaoke and blamed the lighting.

-----

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly dating a hypnotist named Jim Curtis. Her friends always try to set her up and now one of them finally hit the jackpot. She loves his “perspective and insight”…which is code for “he made eye contact, didn’t talk about crypto, and didn’t call her Rachel.” Honestly? Hypnotized, romanticized, maybe even… monogamized?

-----

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final concert just raised over $190 million, making it the highest-grossing charity concert ever. The Prince of Darkness just became Saint Ozzy. Somewhere Sharon is already planning the reboot: “The Retirement Tour... Part 2.”

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Wednesday, July 16th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Kim Kardashian is allegedly eyeing the White House! An insider says she’s got the law degree, the connections, and the ambition to run for office. Honestly, if reality TV can become reality politics... we’re just one selfie away from "State of the Union: Sponsored by SKIMS." America, are we ready for First Lady North West?

-----

Word is Blake Shelton’s pushing 300 pounds, and Gwen Stefani is not loving it. She’s worried about his fried-chicken-fueled lifestyle, calling it a ticking time bomb. When she’s there? He behaves. When she’s gone? It’s all brisket, biscuits, and barbecue. Man’s out here living like he’s at a state fair… daily.

-----

Thomas Rhett’s got four daughters—and apparently, they’re tougher music critics than Nashville radio. Forget lyrics or production—if it doesn’t get the living room jumpin’, they’re hitting SKIP. His oldest is starting to appreciate songwriting… the others? If it don’t bop, it drops.

-----

Since Superman hit theaters, Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” jumped 513%! Director James Gunn called it the biggest blessing to come from the movie and that’s saying something! So forget kryptonite, apparently the Man of Steel’s real superpower is turning you into a dog mom.

The List for Tuesday, July 15th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The new Superman movie isn’t just saving the box office—it’s apparently saving people's mental health too. Fans say it’s helping them overcome depression and anxiety. Why? Because it’s full of hope, kindness, and James Gunn-level optimism. They’re calling it hopecore! Which sounds like a therapy genre for superheroes.

-----

Brad Pitt is 61 and somehow still looks like a Calvin Klein ad. People say it's not just his skincare line keeping him young. A Turkish plastic surgeon claims Brad might’ve had a facelift—thanks to a little scar behind his ear seen in his new movie. So maybe it’s not just eye cream and kale smoothies, huh?

-----

Darius Rucker was on stage in Atlantic City when his voice said, “Nope.” A few songs in, he apologized to the crowd and had to call it quits. Total pro move though, he gave everyone a full refund. I’ve heard concerts where the singer should’ve done that and didn’t.

-----

Lainey Wilson is bringing the bling!  She’s launching her own western-themed jewelry collection with rings, necklaces, earrings you name it. So now you can cry in your cowboy hat and your rhinestones. On-brand and bedazzled!
