Welcome to The List,
Happy National Taco Day…on The List, Hardy says he’s been struggling with anxiety since his bus accident last year over the last two weeks. Posting that it’s taken control of his life. He’s had panic attacks that have landed him in the hospital…He’s canceled two shows and postponed another.

Garth Brooks is 61, so no one expects him to be glued to social media, or even good at it. But someone at WhiskeyRiff.com was surprised to see how few people Garth follows online . Last we checked, he was only following 63 people total on Instagram and X…A few are people you’d expect, like his wife Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, and Carrie Underwood . . . But, It includes people you wouldn’t expect, like Chris Pratt, Ashton Kutcher, Pitbull, and Cher and some guy named “The Garth Fan”!

The 1978 Christopher Reeves “Superman” was almost played by Dirty Harry himself…Clint Eastwood… Entertainment Tonight says He rejected the role because he wanted to play a Marvel superhero named Namor the Sub-Mariner. Saying Clint had ALL those comics.

In the midst of the sizzling debate over America’s southeast vs. southwest burger joints, one question burns like a World On Fire: In-N-Out or Whataburger? Surprising no one, California native, Nate Smith has emphatically declared his allegiance – he proudly stands with favorite…“Oh my God, we got to pick a side here?… I think, people wouldn’t respect me if I didn’t stick up for what I grew up on, you know so no matter what, I did grow up on In-N-Out. I’ve got to be true to In-N-Out. I just have to. So as much as I loved Whataburger you know I’m going to stay with my roots here. In-N-Out burgers are pretty tasty…

Back in February of 2021 Lady Gaga’s Dogs got stolen while they were out with the “Dog Walker”..A $500,000 reward for the return was offered…she DID get them BACK.. Now the person who “found” them is suing for the money. The judge in the case has ruled that the reward will NOT be paid because the person who “found” them was part of the robbery.

Lastly, and sadly, Jamie Lynn Spears got sent home last night on “Dancing with the Stars”.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
I was a bit caught off guard with question #1 do you know that is the nickname of Iowa?
