The List for Wednesday, March 27th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Raise your hand if you knew it was “Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day” . . . No one?  Well, mark it in your calendars!  This might by the most important day all year.

It’s a day we can finally celebrate great titles like, “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnny Cash . . . or “Sic’ Em on a Chicken” by Zac Brown Band. “I Still Like Bologna” by Alan Jackson.  (This should’ve won a Pulitzer.) “Do You Want Fries with That” by Tim McGraw…You’re welcome…

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are shutting down their charitable foundation.  And one reason is that donations dropped 83% after Will slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

—–

Sara Evans is back with her estranged husband.  She filed for divorce in 2021 when he allegedly tried to ram his car into hers.  Sara says they’re “so happy now,” but they’ll, quote, “be in therapy until we die.”

—–

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says a “Pirates of the Caribbean” reboot is in the works.  He didn’t give any other details, except that it’ll be easier to put together because they won’t have to wait for “certain” actors.

The January Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Skyler Stevenson – 9-12 Grade Agriculture Teacher @ East Marshall High School. She was nominated by Lonika Utterback, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1:

Ms. Steveson joined EMHS mid-year. She jumped right in and has been positive throughout her transition to a new school.

The List for Tuesday, February 24th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Megan Moroney just proved she’s either the nicest person in country music… or she has zero bedtime. She told fans at her Meet Me on Cloud 9 pop-up show she’d sign something for every single person there. And she actually did it. CDs, vinyl, whatever you had, Megan stayed until the job was done. Meanwhile, if one person asks me for directions at Target, I fake a phone call and walk away.

Jelly Roll just announced his brand new tour and the name alone deserves a standing ovation. It’s called the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’. Yes, that’s real. He just finished the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone, so now he’s downsizing… slightly. These “sheds” still pack in 10 to 15 thousand fans a night. So congrats Jelly, you’re officially too big for arenas, but still emotionally attached to lawn seating.

-----

Travis Kelce might be taking a pay cut if he plays another NFL season. He made 17 million last year, but reports say next year could be closer to 13 million. Which means he may have to tighten the budget a little. Maybe fewer vacations, fewer commercials, and only one diamond-covered cereal commercial instead of two. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult financial hardship.

-----

Tom Hanks is officially playing Abraham Lincoln in a new movie, and apparently it’s personal. Ancestry.com says Hanks is actually Lincoln’s 16th cousin. The movie will mix live action and stop motion animation, which sounds like Lincoln meets Toy Story. If Tom Hanks shows up in a top hat and says “There’s a snake in my boot,” I’m buying tickets.
