Luke Combs new hit song ‘Fast Car’ is at the top of the charts AND has been number one on the Top Kix At 6…But Luke says it took him a long time to learn how to play it on his guitar… “It took me months to be able to play it and then to be able to play it and sing it took even more time you know? And so I always would just kind of cover that in my bar gigs and people just loved it as much as I loved it. You know?” Adding that the song was way more advanced on guitar than he was when he learned it.

Jordan Davis was caught sleeping backstage at a Dierks Bentley concert. Someone posted the video on Instagram. Jordan captioned it with, ”Never get tired of Dierks Bentley set this summer….”

Sometimes it’s best to run new material in front of someone before you commit to it..it could be your kids…or in Jon Pardi’s case he tells CMT; his wife…Saying Summer is a great barometer on whether a song is good or not.  She pulls no punches if she doesn’t like a song and why. You need that kind of honesty in this business.

Tom Cruise’s new blockbuster Mission Impossible is in theaters and he says making movies isn’t work to him…“This isn’t work to me, this is pleasure, this is why we do it.  This is why I make my films for audiences; I love these moments. I feel fortunate that I’ve spent my birthday’s most of them on movie sets or promoting films so, it’s a real privilege.” Thursday, we’ll take a look at Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One with ‘At The Movies’ during the Drive At Five.  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ is in theaters now.

The List for Monday, February 16th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just committed the ultimate sports betrayal…he wore a Jacksonville Jaguars hat. Panthers fans immediately grabbed their pitchforks and pumpkin spice lattes and accused him of treason. One fan called him fake. Luke fired back saying, yeah, maybe he should have worn Panthers gear while playing in the Jaguars stadium…his bad. This man gave us “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” not “I Pledge Allegiance to Your Fantasy Football Team.”

Miranda Lambert kicked off the Daytona 500 in front of more than 100,000 screaming NASCAR fans. She admitted the massive crowd made her nervous, which is relatable, because the only thing scarier than that many people is that many people who drove there aggressively. She said it already felt like a concert thanks to the tailgating.

-----

Hollywood officially ran out of ideas sometime around 2007, and now Charlie’s Angels is getting rebooted…again. Sony is already working on it, with the Crazy Rich Asians writer attached, and Drew Barrymore possibly involved behind the scenes. So yes, prepare for dramatic slow-motion walking, explosions that defy physics, and a plot nobody remembers. That’s Hollywood innovation….rebooting a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.

-----

If you were waiting for The Simpsons to end, I have terrible news…you’ll be waiting forever. The showrunner says it will never have a real finale because the characters live in permanent cartoon Groundhog Day. They already did a fake ending just to mess with us. At this point, three things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches, Twinkies, and Homer Simpson.

Get details on these stories at 4:20 this afternoon on The List, with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
