The List for Friday, June 23rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Apparently, the Oakland A’s are planning a move to Las Vegas and Tom Hanks tells People magazine that he does not want that to happen!!  Saying, “We’ve lost the Raiders, the Warriors moved to San Francisco, and now they’re going to take the A’s out of Oakland. A’s fans are the greatest fans in all of baseball.” Hey Tom There’s, no crying in Baseball!!

Jay DeMarcus tells People magazine that he is open to a Rascal Flatts reunion. “I would want to say never say never. [But] we’re in such different places right now and don’t really communicate on a consistent basis.  I think the further we get away from it the harder it is to put it back together.”

We all start somewhere, right? Lainey Wilson tells People magazine that she started out as a Hannah Montana impersonator. “I would do three or four events a weekend—birthday parties, fairs, festivals, you name it. It was one of the most rewarding moments I’ve ever had in my life,”.

NBC and Macy’s are bringing the patriotic fun to the 4th of July with their 47th annual fireworks show this year, and the star-studded performers have been announced. Pop stars Ahanti, BeBe Rexha along with Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson are a few showing up.  The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks air live Tuesday July 4th at 7pm on NBC and will stream on Peacock.

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
