Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is celebrating his 15 year marriage to Nicole Kidman. While on the Today Show yesterday Crain Melvin asked what the secret to a successful marriage really is?  “Oh, I have no idea, I’ll let you know in thirty years.  Really loving and being together.  That’s it yeah.” Keith kicked of the Today Shows Concert series yesterday with a few of his hits and a brand NEW song called ‘Brown Eyes Baby’

Miranda Lambert’s Favorite time of year is summer and the 4th of July… “I love holidays in general, but Fourth of July is…summer is my favorite time of year, so Fourth of July is probably one of my favorites because I…my favorite firework is sparklers.

Luke Combs says there were many different people that really shaped his singing or taught him how to sing early on.  Vince Gill and Clint Black and Garth (Brooks) and stuff like that.  But surprisingly he says As he got to be 10, 11, 12, it was more like Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC kind of thing. Well, I bet HE’S the influence on many young singer today.

”Top Gun: Maverick” star Miles Teller should be cast as the next James Bond according to his 82-year-old grandmother Leona Flowers. She tweeted, ”They’re looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies. I think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything they’re looking for- talent, looks, strength, worldwide appeal & oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldn’t he be great?” Actually, they’re looking to quote “reinvent” the Bond character…I have NO IDEA what THAT could mean..but thanks grandma for you input.

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

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