The List for Monday, February 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

The biggest country artists that have never won a Grammy:  Dierks Bentley has been nominated 15 times and has zero wins . . . Martina McBride is 0 for 14 . . . and Jamey Johnson and Eric Church are both 0 for 10.  But Beyonce won for Best Country Album.  Make it make sense….

Kelsea Ballerini said that she was making pasta with a friend when she got the call from Kelly Clarkson asking her to fill in for her during the Battle Rounds…she got on a plane and was in the seat by 11am the next day…the new season of ‘The Voice’ premieres tonight on NBC.

—–

Will Ferrell says he has a special way of dealing with his family when there is a tense argument going on…He says he will leave the room and come back wearing nothing but his underwear if there is a tense argument going on.

Jelly Roll tells CBS he’s nervous about his upcoming role on ‘Fire Country’. “From the stage to the fire line, it’s time to see if I can keep up. Man, this is tougher than the Grammys.”

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

The List for Friday, February 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

-----

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

-----

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.
