The List for Friday, September 29th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Well, today’s the day that Netflix sends out its final DVDs.  Don’t feel bad if you didn’t even know Netflix still mailed out DVDs.  Fewer than a million subscribers held on this long. Those of you who refused to quit your plans get an extra bonus:  You get to KEEP whatever comes your way.  Some subscribers have been chosen to receive 10 discs as a parting gift. At its peak, the DVD service had 20 million subscribers, and a library of more than 100,000 titles. Netflix shipped its first DVD in 1998.  It was “Beetlejuice”.

Dylan Scott tells People magazine that working with a jackhammer was the hardest thing he’s ever done. “You would think … let the thing do the work. But all the tendons in your hands and the muscles in your hands. He did it for two days, he can still feel it. That was the hardest two days of his life.”

The producers of the new “Exorcist” movie had to change their release date to avoid going up against Taylor Swift’s concert movie.  But they briefly considered going head-to-head, and trying to create another “Barbenheimer” . . . although this one would have been called “ExorSwift”. And Cops did a welfare check on Britney Spears, after her video where she’s dancing with knives.  Police talked to her security, who said she was okay, then left…yeah…Britney Spears is just….fine…no worries there….

The inaugural “People’s Choice Country Awards” went down last night in Nashville . . . and if you were busy watching football, “The Golden Bachelor”, or “Lego Masters”, I understand.  You didn’t miss much.  If they’re going to give us a fourth awards show in one calendar year, at least make it unique.  There was nothing fresh or new.  Morgan Wallen won the big award, People’s Artist of 2023, and he wasn’t there.   Neither was Jelly Roll after winning Male Artist.  Also not there? Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban . . . to name a few.

—–

Michael Gambon . . . who played Professor Dumbledore in the final six “Harry Potter” movies . . . died after a bout of pneumonia.  He was 82.  Daniel Radcliffe called him, quote, “one of the most brilliant, effortless actors I’ve ever had the privilege of working with.”

And lastly, you never have to worry about Luke Combs not getting enough exercise….He tells Music Mayhem Magazine that he burns a massive amount of calories during his concerts. “I wear a WHOOP band fitness tracker while on stage and burn around 2,600 calories per show and my band averages anywhere from four to five or six miles.”

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

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
