The List for Wednesday, April 27th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Cary Elwes from “The Princess Bride” had to be airlifted to the hospital after getting bitten on the finger by a rattlesnake on Saturday.  He’s recovering well and commented “Bit not by a R.O.U.S. but a rattlesnake.   An R.O.U.S. is a creature from “Princess Bride”.  It stands for Rodents of Unusual Size.

 —–

A video of Darius Rucker shouting “[eff] Tennessee” has gone viral.  It was during a free concert on Sunday that honored the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team.  During his performance of “Wagon Wheel”  Instead of singing “from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee” . . . they all belted out “from the Cumberland Gap to [Eff], Tennessee.”

Director James Gunn went to bat for Chris Pratt on Twitter when a bunch of people randomly called for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord character from “Guardians of the Galaxy” to be recast.  Well, director James Gunn wasn’t having any of it.  James replied, “For what?  Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?  For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true?  Chris would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department has released police bodycam footage of the moments following the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.  Search warrants later revealed that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, loaded the Colt .45 believing a real bullet was a dummy round. She then handed the weapon to first assistant director who skipped the customary safety run-through.

Strong will and determination to make it…that’s what it takes.  Just ask Luke Bryan about long hard days….  In an interview on Apple Music Country, Luke talked about working at his dad’s peanut mill after college.  They were 15-hour days that left him so wrung out it felt like he’d been in a gang fight.  And yet, he still played concerts on the weekends with his lungs full of peanut dust….

The Verge says famed director JJ Abrams is teaming with Warner Brothers for a new live action Hot Wheels movie. Plot details are being kept a secret

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

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