The List for Tuesday, December 14th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Lady A’s Charles Kelly says Christmas shopping online is always easier for him … “I always really kick myself when I like, go to the store to pick out gifts for my nieces and nephews, and then I gotta ship it and I realize I spent more on the shipping than I did on the gift. And that’s where online is the way to go.” Amazon dot com.. just a couple clicks and you’re done…I get it..

Another Matrix movie is on the way and last night Keanu Reeves explained the phone call to Stephen Colbert … “Yeah, it was a little shocking, but it was really a beautiful phone call.  She called and said, I’m thinking about doing another Matrix film…and I stood up and was like what!?…what!?…what!? she was like…yes…and I said, but we’re dead.” Being a dead character has NEVER stopped a sequel or a “Resurrection” ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ is in theaters on December 22nd

When Carrie Underwood and her family get a Christmas tree the do the REAL THING… ” We go and we pick it out. and we all decorate it together and of course, have Christmas music playing in the house.  I make cookies that were my husband’s grandmother It’s her recipe, her ginger snap cookies, and we make those and it’s super sweet.” One of my favorite parts of the holiday’s…the Christmas snacks…

If you understand the term “Flexing” then you’ll understand this next story…The NY Post says Tom Cruise had his private jet take cakes from his favorite bakery in Los Angeles to London for the cast and crew of ”Mission Impossible 7”. The 300 Christmas cakes flew more than 5,500 miles. A source tells the newspaper, “Tom wanted to give the team on Mission: Impossible a treat for Christmas and decided that only cakes from his favorite bakery in LA would do. He organized for the shop to make 300 cakes especially and they were then flown back to the UK on his jet.”

Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.

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