The List for Wednesday, July 14th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Miranda Lambert’s new son ‘Settling Down’ is climbing the charts but what inspired the song?  She says LIFE did…” um, I got married, but I also still love the road, I have a gypsy soul, and I wanted to write a song that kind of spoke to the sentiment of “can you have both?” and is that okay? I think the video just compliments the lyrics.”

Brad Paisley’s meets shark week in ‘Shark Country’ on Discovery channel last night…HE and comedian JB Smoove met in the Bahamas to attract new fans: sharks. With the help of Dr. Austin Gallagher, Brad’s musical talents are put to the test in shark-infested waters to see how sound can attract or repel sharks. JB Smoove was a little confused about what was about to happen

Brad – “We’re gonna go swim with sharks today,

JB – What!?  So, wait a minute we’re going out to Mark Cubans Yacht to pre pitch these ideas?

Brad – No….

JB – Somehow Brad something got mixed up here…

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
