The List for Wednesday, August 4th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Marvel is BIG on origin stories for their superhero’s  on the big screen so,…HERE DAN gives us the origin story for Dan + Shay….

Dan: “We were at a party, at my house, and per usual, we were playing guitars, and passing guitars and singing covers. So Shay and I were hanging out that night, and I distinctly remember, I was like ‘This guy is pretty good at singing.’ And the next day we wrote a song, and that song got put on hold by a major artist that night, and we started writing more, and more songs. And we’re like, ‘This is going to work,’ and then somebody told us, ‘You guys should be a duo,’ and we’re like ‘Let’s do it.’”

Shay: “And here we are.”

And THEY will be at the Iowa State Fair Saturday August 21st

Brooke Shields is still active at 56, looks great and youthfull..turns out the secret it…donuts…  “I like to do pilates, and then I like to go get donuts.  It’s a huge donut on a stick.”

The trailer for the new Venom movie is out.. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”  It’s the sequel to the 2018 comic book film starring Tom Hardy, as Eddie Brock, One side of Eddie is a journalist who lives a normal life. But his other half is Venom who feeds on people. In the movie Eddie interviews a serial killer, Cletus Kasady, who is played by Woody Harrelson, who later turns into Carnage, also a predator.  I’m sure we’ll preview it in “At The Movies” closer to the release date which is September 24th

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

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
