The List for Friday, December 8th 2023

Welcome to The List,

A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York on Wednesday night.  Chevy Chase attended a screening of “Christmas Vacation”. . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage.  Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage.  That’s when he went down. He’s okay though.

Chris Janson tells Whiskey Riff that during a recent Oklahoma City concert, he accidentally threw his harmonica into the crowd. He asked a fan, “Oh, are you okay?” Fortunately, the fan wasn’t hurt…there is a difference between “tossing” and “fast pitching” Chris…for next time….

GQ Magazine says Ben Affleck recently wore a custom pair of Dunkin’ Donuts Nike sneakers in Los Angeles. These unique sneakers were commissioned by Dunkin’ Donuts to celebrate the release of a movie Affleck worked on.  I bet when he takes them off it’s the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts….

This is what you call a missed marketing opportunity: There’s a new movie coming out called “No Way Up”.  It’s about a plane that crashes in the Pacific Ocean and ends up submerged, but in an air pocket.  The survivors have limited time to escape, but there’s something standing in their way:  A SHARK has made its way onto the plane!!! And the question I have for everyone who had even a limited part in making this movie happen is: Why on Earth is this movie not called “Sharks on a Plane” ???

Morgan Wallen has to wear disguises in public these days.  Sometimes after going hunting, he’ll leave ON his cap, camo top, and face paint . . . so he can “sneak around, and maybe even visit a Mexican restaurant.”

Mariah Carey sent flowers and a note to Brenda Lee after her Christmas song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

-----

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

-----

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.

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