Welcome to The List,
Warner Brothers Japan is upset about “Barbenheimer” memes where people mix images from “Barbie” with atomic bomb explosions. That kind of stuff hits differently for the Japanese, for obvious reasons.

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.

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.

Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.

Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.

Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
