The List for Thursday, August 17th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Quinton Aaron played Michael Oher in “The Blind Side”, and he wants people to lay off Sandra Bullock.  He says, quote, “I heard some pretty disturbing things people were saying about her, and I’m not behind that. Adding I’m six-foot-eight, 400-plus pounds, and you don’t want those problems.”  Quentin says the Tuohys were very involved during the making of the movie, but Oher was not.  In fact, he only met Oher for the first time four years AFTER the movie came out.

The List for Monday, April 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

WKRP is finally becoming a real thing after 48 years, and radio people everywhere just felt a chill. The legendary sitcom made Cincinnati famous without even having a real station. Now the actual call letters are being sold, and someone’s bringing WKRP home. Somewhere, turkeys are nervous and DJs are smiling.

Carrie Underwood says the secret to staying sane in fame is faith. She says the industry can make everything about you real fast. Faith keeps her grounded when everything else is trying to lift her too high. So basically, humility is her real number one hit.

-----

Zach Top says a bad round of golf can wreck his whole mood, which feels very relatable. Instead of throwing clubs, he writes songs about it like a classy human. Turns out his sadness already had a soundtrack, his own song “Between the Ditches.” Nothing like turning a bogey into a ballad.

-----

Britney Spears’ life is still headed to the big screen, even with recent drama swirling around her. Universal says they’re in it for the long haul and ready to tell the full story. Apparently, that includes love life chaos, music fame, and everything in between. Somewhere, Justin Timberlake is allegedly pacing and stress-eating popcorn.
