The List for Wednesday, October 19th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Kane Brown is a huge rock fan and wants to do a collaboration.  He says, “When I say rock, I mean Slipknot, I mean, I’m a Green Day fan too, but I’m a workout fiend so, like, heavy . . . Slipknot, Korn, crazy stuff.”  But don’t worry, he said he could never leave country because metal just isn’t his brand.

The “Charlie Brown” Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas specials will be exclusive to Apple TV+ again this year.  But there will be a brief window where non-subscribers can stream them for free..

—–

Matt Smith’s “House of the Dragon” character, Daemon Targaryen, is getting a lot of romantic attention from fans, even though his morals are a little sketchy.  And one of the producers thinks that might not last because, quote, “We will see a different side of him.”

The NFL found a day where there was no football, and they remedied that situation….Beginning next year, there will be a game on Black Friday . . . the day after Thanksgiving . . . on Amazon Prime. That’s good for Amazon, since “Thursday Night Football” doesn’t happen on Thanksgiving.  CBS and Fox have a lock on Turkey Day games.  So Amazon still gets to participate over Thanksgiving weekend . . . which, as a bonus, is also the kickoff to the holiday shopping season.

CMT’s “Hot 20 Countdown” had country stars ask questions of each other.  Cody Johnson asked Luke Combs how fatherhood is going, “Being a dad’s awesome.  It’s super fun.  It can be stressful at times, but a lot more good than bad, for sure.  It’s been really fun.” Luke’s son Tex is four months old today.  He was born on Father’s Day.

The NY Post says Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow outfit from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies is one of this year’s hottest Halloween costumes. The costume has seen a 90% increase in sales since Depp won his defamation trial against Amber Heard. High quality replicas of the costume sell for as much as $399.

The List for Friday, March 27th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood says her boys can sing, but she is not handing out tiny little record deals just because Mom can hit a note. Her oldest is already a mini-Carrie, super into music, but she says the music business can wait until he is older and knows who he is. One minute Mom is on stage in sequins, next minute she is making dinner like nothing happened. Country queen by night, casserole ninja by six.

Morgan Wallen says he is done hiding behind excuses, and that might be the most grown-up sentence he has ever said out loud. He told CMT that back then, there was always something to blame when things went sideways. Now he says if he messes up, it is on him. Accountability..

-----

Netflix just raised prices again, and at this point your streaming bill is starting to look like a car payment. The ad plan is now $8.99, standard is $19.99, and premium jumps to $26.99. Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to save money? Now we are all just paying cable prices with extra steps. Congrats, we played ourselves.

-----

The iHeartRadio Music Awards wrapped up last night, and if you are guessing who won everything, go ahead and say it with me. Taylor Swift. Again. Save everybody a few hours. Show up, wave, collect hardware, repeat.

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