Luke Bryan tells CMT that he’s having a hard time teaching his son how to drive. “He’s 15 so he’s doing the whole learner’s permit nightmare. He is not a very good driver right now, so we’re having to work with him pretty hard..I hear Alan Jackson has a pretty good record at teaching people how to…Drive…

A pair of YouTubers tried to visit Cousin Eddie’s house from the movie “Vacation”, but the guy living there flipped out on them.  He said the movie sucks and they need to grow up, and wouldn’t let them film there.

The Huffington Post says Kelly Clarkson was recently performing in Vegas when she addressed the trend of fans throwing things at performers on stage. She told her audience, “If you’re gonna throw, throw diamonds.” They laughed.

For the first time in history, country artists have the top three songs on the Billboard Hot 100.  They are:  Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town“ at Number One . . . followed by Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” . . . and Luke Combs’ “Fast Car”.

Your average Kenny Chesney stadium show will have about 40,000 people hanging on his every word.  Contrast that to Kenny doing a pop-up show recently at Captain Tony’s Saloon in Key West, Florida.  Kenny posted a clip yesterday of himself and his acoustic guitar doing “You and Tequila”, and it couldn’t have been more casual.  He’s wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and a backwards ballcap . . . because he can. ..see the clip HERE.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

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.
