The List for Monday, June 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Alright, Gen X and Millennials—remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that left you emotionally scarred at 10? Plot twist: the guy who wrote them, Edward Packard, is literally the grandfather of the new Superman, David Corenswet. Yup. Grandpa wrote alternate endings, grandson wears a cape. Choose that adventure. “Superman” hits theaters July 11th

Missed the CMA Fest in Nashville? It’s cool, we all can’t live off bachelorette energy and pulled pork. But you can catch all the performances on “CMA Fest Presented by SoFi” this Thursday, June 26th at 8 on ABC. Over 30 performances, no porta-potties. Also hits Hulu the next day.

Keifer Thompson from Thompson Square is NOT having it with Beyoncé’s Grammy win for Best Country Album. He says folks out here living country got beat by someone who “ain’t even in the genre.” Ouch!!

—–

Apparently, Kelly Clarkson’s life is falling apart faster than a dollar store lawn chair. Sources say her talk show’s hanging on by dental floss, she’s drowning in drama, and New York’s got her stressed. She’ll finish out the season ‘cause she’s a pro—but sounds like she’s eyeing the emergency exit for next year.

And speaking of unexpected turns: Jelly Roll is about to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! while Jimmy takes a summer nap.  – now reading cue cards in a suit. Somewhere, late-night TV just ordered a double whiskey and said, “Let’s roll.”

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 Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
