The List for Friday, June 9th 2023

Welcome to The List,

You never know when you’re going to meet the love of your life.  Lauren Alaina was chowing down on tacos when her now-fiancé Cam Arnold came into the picture.  All he said was ‘Nobody’s gonna take those tacos away from you.’  First thing he ever said to me.  That was when I knew.” By the way, today is also a pretty big day for Lauren.  She’s releasing her new EP, “Unlocked”.  It features “Thicc As Thieves”, her duet with Lainey Wilson.

Luke Comb’s song ‘Fast Car’ is a hit for sure and he says the song has always been a big part of his life  .”It’s one of the first songs I ever remember hearing riding around in the truck with my dad.  I was probably five years old and he had it on a cassette tape” he covered it in collage and continued to play it. He made a video in 2020 during the pandemic and thought why not make it official.

We STILL don’t know anything about the “medical complication” that Jamie Foxx has been dealing with since April.  There have been unconfirmed reports that he had a stroke. Last weekend on Dr. Drew’s podcast, he and a guest were discussing the possibility that the COVID vaccine caused a blood clot that led to that alleged stroke. Well, Jamie’s rep calls that, quote, “completely inaccurate.”  But, unfortunately, we STILL have no info on what DID happen.

Jelly Roll tells Billboard magazine that he wants people to be inspired by his story. “I want people to look at my life and realize that no matter how bad life gets, no matter how bad you screw up, there’s always light, always a chance to make it right. As long as you’re willing to fight, there’s always a chance to make something good out of your life.” Jelly Rolls documentary is streaming now on Hulu.

Will Johnny Depp reprise his roll at Captain Jack Sparrow…well, The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp is refusing to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He’s upset with Disney for dropping him during his defamation trial with Amber Heard. The paper says Johnny was going to make $20 million to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Savannah Morning News says Ohio firefighter Scott Edward Nall changed his name to Optimus Prime.  He did it when he was 30 and wanted to do something crazy for his birthday..I guess Mrs. Prime wouldn’t have much of a problem with it…’Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ opens in theatres today.

The List for Monday, February 16th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just committed the ultimate sports betrayal…he wore a Jacksonville Jaguars hat. Panthers fans immediately grabbed their pitchforks and pumpkin spice lattes and accused him of treason. One fan called him fake. Luke fired back saying, yeah, maybe he should have worn Panthers gear while playing in the Jaguars stadium…his bad. This man gave us “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” not “I Pledge Allegiance to Your Fantasy Football Team.”

Miranda Lambert kicked off the Daytona 500 in front of more than 100,000 screaming NASCAR fans. She admitted the massive crowd made her nervous, which is relatable, because the only thing scarier than that many people is that many people who drove there aggressively. She said it already felt like a concert thanks to the tailgating.

-----

Hollywood officially ran out of ideas sometime around 2007, and now Charlie’s Angels is getting rebooted…again. Sony is already working on it, with the Crazy Rich Asians writer attached, and Drew Barrymore possibly involved behind the scenes. So yes, prepare for dramatic slow-motion walking, explosions that defy physics, and a plot nobody remembers. That’s Hollywood innovation….rebooting a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.

-----

If you were waiting for The Simpsons to end, I have terrible news…you’ll be waiting forever. The showrunner says it will never have a real finale because the characters live in permanent cartoon Groundhog Day. They already did a fake ending just to mess with us. At this point, three things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches, Twinkies, and Homer Simpson.

Get details on these stories at 4:20 this afternoon on The List, with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
