Welcome to The List,
Sam Hunt Says his hit song ’23’ was inspired by a trip to the beach! ‘ … “That may have had something to do with it. We were down there and it’s easier to tap into that nostalgia when you’re at the beach, thinking back to trips you know from your youth. But who knows? But I’m glad that it worked out that day because we wrote it in probably two hours, which is pretty rare for me.” He’d been trying to work up to if for several years and a lot of times you’re just one word or little change away from an idea…the idea came getting sand between your toes.

Tim McGraw like most of us loves taking family road trips. Can you imagine Tim traveling just like Clark W. Griswold From “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” … “I’ve got a 15-year-old Cadillac Escalade that I love. It’s like my Griswold family cruiser. I just love that car, and we’ll do the southern route and go to L.A. and then go up to Northern California and then take the northern route back, and we’ve really enjoyed it.” I wonder if Tim McGraw HAS a cousin Eddie…he would almost HAVE to…

Jake Gyllenhaal has a new movie out this weekend called “Ambulance” he was talking to Jimmy Kimmel last night apparently director Michael Bay’s home is big…“It took a while for us to find each other, it’s a very large home. It’s huge and it’s filled with transformer memorabilia. I ran into Bumble Bee before I ran into him.”Yeah, I can’t imagine Michael Bay having an understated house…We’ll preview “Ambulance” Thursday with ‘At The Movies’

The creator of “Squid Game” is working on a movie that he says will be even MORE violent. Its working title at the moment is “Killing Old People Club”. There’s no word on the plot. Yeah, I can’t see that causing any problems and Here’s a good reason to watch next Monday’s “CMT Music Awards”. They’re down to six Video of the Year nominees, and you can still vote at CMT.com. Surely, your favorite will win.

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
