Welcome to The List,
“Rolling Stone” put together a list of the 50 Worst Decisions in Movie History. Will Smith made it on the list twice . . . for slapping Chris Rock AND for turning down “The Matrix” to make “Wild Wild West”. Burt Reynolds turns down James Bond, “The Godfather”, “Star Wars”, “Pretty Woman”, and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Now that’s an EPIC run of bad decisions. Their top spot went to the 1956 movie “The Conqueror”. Not only did it star noted white guy John Wayne as the Asian warlord Genghis Khan. . . they also filmed it at nuclear testing sites in Utah.

Football traditions can be deadly. And not just for Buffalo Bills fans. There’s a family of Miami Dolphins fans who take a shot of tequila every time their team scores a touchdown. Well, on Sunday, the Dolphins crushed the Denver Broncos 70 to 20. For those of you who need help with the math, 70 points is 10 touchdowns. Meaning everyone in the family had to take 10 TEQUILA SHOTS in about three and a half hours. One of them Tweeted that it might be time to rethink the tradition.

If you haven’t seen Jelly Roll Grand Marshalling NASCAR’s playoff race on Sunday, check it out. It was at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. People don’t always get fully into it when they say “drivers, start your engines.” But he WENT for it. He screamed so hard, you could actually see him shaking at one point. NASCAR posted the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, and said, “The energy has been brought.” Jelly retweeted it and joked that he “understood the assignment.” (Here’s the video.)

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will host President Jimmy Carter’s Habitat for Humanity project next week. It takes place October 1st through the 6th in Charlotte, North Carolina. This will be the first event the Carters won’t be able to attend because of health reasons.

Luke Combs has had his share of crossover hits. In fact, his cover of “Fast Car” peaked higher on the Billboard Top 200 than Tracy Chapman’s original. But don’t worry about Luke switching over to pop. He’s not interested. He said, quote, “Country music is enough. I don’t want to be a pop star. I love our genre and I love writing country songs with my songwriting buddies and singing them with the guys that I like to make records with.”

And lastly, The Taylor Swift / Travis Kelce relationship already has MERCH a lot of it on Esty…mostly in the form of different shirts going for between $10 to $38, plus some luggage with a $206 price tag.

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.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
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
