The List for Friday, March 18th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The Big 12 is in action in March Madness…and Brett Young Thinks Duke Is Going To Win ‘March Madness’ “I mean, born and raised a UCLA basketball fan. But over the past couple of years and I know they’re back and they’re better now but I’ve kind of lost interest, not lost interest, but I haven’t kept up as much as I’d like to with them. From what I’ve seen, I don’t know if they’re this good in the season, I don’t know how Duke doesn’t just dominate once we get into the playoffs, into the bracket.  There are a lot of great teams in college basketball right now, but if I had to bet on anybody it would be Duke hands down.”  You can catch the Iowa State Cyclones as they take on LSU tonight on Kix 101.1 coverage begins at 5:15.

Tyler Henry, is getting a lot of press lately he’s known as ‘The Hollywood Medium’, says his first prediction was the death of his grandmother. “Well, this all really started with me when I was only ten years old. I randomly one night just woke up and had this knowingness that my grandmother was going to pass away. So, it was really that catalyst that kicked off  the series of knowingness that kinda followed me throughout my life.” His series, ‘Life After Death;, is streaming now on Netflix.

Kelsea Ballerini tells TheSkimm.com that there are four items she always takes on tour. Her Throat Coat tea. She has a mug before and after she goes on stage. She needs her humidifier. Never leaves home without it. And her Skyn Iceland eye patches to keep her eyes from looking all puffy. Oh, and I one more thing her weighted blanket.  She can’t fall asleep without one anymore.”

 —-

Breland tells People magazine that he plans to take some time off and spend the weekend watching March Madness games and drinking wine with his friends. And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not going to honor Dolly Parton’s request to pull her nomination…of course if she gets the votes she could always pull a Garth Brooks and not accept the award.

We’ve always heard that Tom Cruise was one of the actors considered for the roll of Tony Stark for Marvels Iron Man…. well he tells the Indian Express Newspaper that it was true and he turned it down  Saying “It had to be done in a way that I know it’s gonna be something special. And it just didn’t feel to me like it was gonna work. I need to be able to make decisions and make the film as great as it can be, and it just didn’t go down that road that way.”  Sounds to ME he wanted it HIS way and THEY wanted it MARVELS way…

THOMAS RHETT’s album, “Where We Started”, is ready for pre-sale orders and if you DO that you’ll have the option of receiving a cassette with commentary from him about each song.  He’s going old school because the title of the album feels nostalgic. So, if you’re still driving a car with a cassette player and want to play some music here’s your chance. “When I think about a cassette, I think about being young.  I remember my mom taking me to the store to buy a Faith Hill cassette when I was like, six or seven.  “And with the album being called ‘Where We Started’, it’s kind of just a deep dive into looking back at your younger self, and cassettes are what I grew up with.” Thomas Rhett’s album “Where We Started” is out April 1st

The List for Tuesday, February 10th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

-----

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

-----

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”

That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

-----

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.

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