The List for Wednesday, June 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea… that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says “collector’s item” like sipping what’s basically Ozzy’s rock ‘n’ roll backwash.

—–

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is… well, Tom Cruise-ish.

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.

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

The List for Friday, July 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

-----

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

-----

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

-----

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
