The List for Monday, June 13th 2022

Welcome to The List,

This Sunday is Father’s Day….and we all remember dad for the things he’s do for us and the sage wisdom he would pass on from time to time. Brad Paisley shares some of the wisdom he got from HIS dad when it came to playing his guitar. “My dad used to say, and this is the best advice.  You don’t have to be good right now and that’s alright.  But, someday you’re not going to be that cute, You’re going to have to be pretty good or you’re just going to talk about the good ole days.”

Chris Evans tells Variety magazine that replacing Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz Lightyear was intimidating. Saying “The first time you have to do that iconic line, ‘To Infinity and Beyond…,’ you kind of just do a shameless Tim Allen impression.  Eventually you feel comfortable and find your own interpretation, while still using Tim Allen as the blueprint.” “Lightyear” staring Chris Evans, Taika Waititi and James Brolin is in theaters Thursday night

Walker Hayes Says Fatherhood Has Helped Him Better Understand His Father … “It definitely helps me forgive my dad for a lot things.  now, I’m that guy who’s too full to throw the football at night, which I never understood growing up. I was like ‘How are you too full and tired to throw a football?’ And now, that’s me, on the couch.”

You may have already heard; Toby Keith broke the news yesterday that he’s been battling stomach cancer since last fall.  Country music has come out to support Toby, I saw a video from Chris Cagle posting on Facebook an emotional message of support, John Rich of Big & Rich tweeted “Hang in there” with a thumb’s up emoji.  His tour will be postponed as he needs, quote, “time to breathe, recover, and relax.”

Even though she wasn’t invited to the wedding, Lynne Spears congratulated her daughter Britney.  And Britney posted video of herself at the reception dancing to “Like a Virgin” . . . with Madonna. And in case you’re wondering,  no they didn’t….kiss… Jurassic World Dominion” knocked “Top Gun: Maverick” off the top of the box office heap with a $143.4 million opening.

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
