The List for Thursday, July 28th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Proud dog dad Chris Evans won’t let his pup Dodger have his own Instagram account because then he wouldn’t have enough stuff to post on his own page.  The duo also announced a partnership with the dog food brand Jinx, so we can expect some cute commercials soon.

Barbara Mandrell is celebrating her 50th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member on Saturday . . . and several performers will be there to help pay tribute, including Carrie Underwood, CeCe Winans, Suzy Bogguss, and Linda Davis.

—–

The Rock surprised fans dressed as Krypto, his character from the animated movie “DC League of Super-Pets”.  AND made a family’s dream come true. You can see the whole thing go down Below…

—–

Kane Brown tells Music Mayhem magazine that he’s caught the acting bug.  His agent says movie companies have been sending him scripts and want to cast him. He likes action movies, horror movies, but he’s never been in a movie, so he says he’ll take whatever he can get and see where that goes. – Start with acting classes….cause you didn’t become a country music star just by getting up on a stage…

—–

Tennessee native Morgan Wallen is paying all the expenses for a local little league team to go to the Dixie Youth Baseball World Series.  A couple of the kids honored him by getting Morgan Wallen-inspired mullets.

—–

And lastly, there’s a pool float inspired by the door that Rose survives on in “Titanic”.  You’ll be able to settle the long-debated question:  Could Rose have saved Jack?  It’s available from Amazon for $30.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??

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