		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, NASCAR lost a legend yesterday, and fans are still trying to process it. Kyle Busch has reportedly died at just 41 years old after what NASCAR called a sudden and severe illness. Just weeks ago, he was still battling through races while sick, even asking for medical help over the radio mid-race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. called him one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history… and honestly, even the people who yelled at their TV every Sunday probably agree. ----- Tim McGraw is already warming up the party bus for the 2030 Super Bowl in Nashville. He says Music City is about to throw the biggest Super Bowl bash fans have ever seen. Honestly, Broadway can barely survive a random Tuesday night now. Add football fans, cowboy boots, and tequila shots? Somewhere a pedal tavern already exploded. Nashville heard “Super Bowl” and immediately said, “Hold my beer.” ----- Britney Spears apparently tried the world’s weirdest DUI negotiation tactic back in March. Reports say she invited the officers to her house for lasagna and swimming instead of, you know… arrest stuff. Imagine trying to explain THAT in the police report. ----- “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” officially wrapped up after 11 years last night with Paul McCartney closing things out. Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Ryan Reynolds, Elvis Costello, and every late-night host showed up for the farewell. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, The Jackson family may be fighting over another Michael biopic, and apparently the sequel pitch is, “What if Thanksgiving had lawyers?” Sources claim Katherine Jackson and Michael’s kids are keeping the ugliest chapters off-screen. Meanwhile, some relatives allegedly see dollar signs and a director’s chair. Nothing says family legacy like arguing near a cash register. ----- Taylor Swift is allegedly keeping Travis Kelce’s dad Ed out of wedding planning because he talks like a man holding a microphone at the worst possible time. Sources say she wants no leaks, no save-the-dates, and absolutely no dad commentary.  This wedding has more security than Area 51 with a flower budget. ----- Kane Brown says he’s worried his middle daughter Kodi might be a little too powerful for her baby brother. He’s hoping his other two daughters protect him instead of joining the chaos. That is not parenting, that is forming a tiny domestic security team. Good luck, little man. The living room Hunger Games have begun. ----- Kenny Chesney just landed his 100th appearance on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “Carry On.” That ties him with George Strait for the most ever. At this point, Kenny doesn’t enter country radio. Country radio just leaves a key under the mat. Congratulations, Kenny. The beach chair has a throne now. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, Billy Joel’s getting an unauthorized biopic called “Billy and Me.” Problem is… Billy apparently wants NOTHING to do with it. No music rights, no approval, no support, no “Piano Man,” no nothing. That’s like making a McDonald’s movie without fries, burgers, OR Ronald. At this point the soundtrack’s just gonna be aggressive harmonica noises. ----- Nashville officially landed the 2030 Super Bowl and Lower Broadway may NEVER recover. The NFL basically looked at Broadway at 1AM and said, “Yeah… these people are ready.” Hotels, bars, restaurants, and boot stores are about to PRINT money. The city already survived bachelorette parties on pedal taverns, so this feels natural. Somewhere a cowboy boot just shed a patriotic tear. ----- Post Malone signed an endorsement deal with Dude Wipes. Because apparently smelling like cigarettes and gas station nachos wasn’t enough branding. He now has his own camouflage wipe collection called “Dude Wipes & Posty Co.” Nothing says country crossover success like your face on tactical butt tissues. Honestly, this may be the cleanest Post Malone has ever looked. ----- Jason Aldean says Brittany is absolutely obsessed with squirrels. Not shoes, jewelry, or designer bags… squirrels. Tiny backyard freeloaders. They’ve got squirrel picnic tables, squirrel houses, and even squirrel surveillance cameras. Meanwhile the raccoons showed up like drunken HOA inspectors and destroyed everything. At this point Jason’s backyard sounds less country mansion, more Disney crime documentary.

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, Oprah is reportedly keeping Meghan and Harry at arm’s length these days, which in Hollywood basically means “I’ll see you again when somebody cries on camera.” Sources say Oprah felt burned after that softball interview back in 2021 because people thought she nodded more than she interviewed.

Nashville, record executives are suddenly pretending they “believed in her from the beginning.” Funny how success gives everybody amnesia. ----- Riley Green says breakup songs come naturally to him while love songs feel like homework, and honestly…that tracks. Country music runs almost entirely on heartbreak, whiskey, and poor communication skills. Riley says sad country music is what made him fall in love with the genre in the first place. Meanwhile every guy with wraparound sunglasses and a bass boat just whispered, “This man gets me.” ----- Jessica Simpson apparently flies first class while her kids sit back in coach because she doesn’t want them growing up spoiled. Honestly? That’s either elite parenting or the funniest power move ever attempted at 35,000 feet. Imagine asking for another bag of pretzels while your mom is up front drinking sparkling water behind a curtain like royalty. But Jessica says she wants her kids to understand money and not expect celebrity treatment. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight.

		<description><![CDATA[  Welcome to The List, Ella Langley winning Female Artist of the Year at the ACMs had everybody emotional for about seven seconds…until half the audience immediately posted it to TikTok with inspirational piano music. She thanked the women of country music for supporting her, meanwhile Blake Shelton closed the show covering Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler,” proving once again Blake can turn any awards show into your uncle’s backyard barbecue playlist. ----- Tom Cruise is apparently gearing up to risk his life AGAIN for Top Gun 3 because apparently hanging off airplanes at 63 sounded relaxing. Sources say people close to him are genuinely nervous about these stunts now because the margin for error gets smaller with age. Meanwhile Tom’s over here treating OSHA regulations like polite suggestions. At this point the real Mission Impossible is convincing Tom Cruise to use a stunt double before Medicare kicks in. ----- Morgan Wallen walked out with Tim Tebow at his Gainesville show and things got awkward faster than a family Thanksgiving argument. Tebow tried getting Morgan to do the Gator Chomp and Morgan basically said, “Absolutely not, sir.” Why? Because Morgan’s a Tennessee fan and apparently college football loyalty outranks world peace in the South. ----- Dak Prescott got spotted at a Fort Worth Pro Bull Riders event hanging around one of his ex-fiancée’s bridesmaids and now the internet has turned into the FBI. Eyewitnesses say they looked “more than friends,” while Dak says nothing’s going on. Yea, and raccoons only enter your garage to “look around.” Dating your ex’s bridesmaid feels like the sports version of shopping in the lost-and-found bin. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly already eyeing a comeback. Because prison release planning now comes with merch tables. The alleged idea is a Redemption Tour, maybe even with Usher involved. Usher, meanwhile, is reportedly cautious, which is celebrity code for, “Please don’t drag me into this circus.” Redemption to some. PR migraine to everyone else. ----- Reba McEntire says her wedding to Rex Linn will be low-key at their Tennessee ranch. And yes, the animals are invited, because Reba understands priorities. Dogs may be ring bearers, longhorns may supervise, donkeys may judge the vows. That sounds more organized than most weddings I’ve attended. ----- Chris Janson says Guns N’ Roses helped him write his very first song. So naturally, he started country songwriting by walking straight through the rock-and-roll fire. The song was called “Shoot Off The Locks,” which sounds like a song and a misdemeanor. Janson says history can decide if it was good. History just asked for a helmet and a waiver. ----- There’s reportedly interest in “The Devil Wears Prada 3.” Studio chiefs allegedly want to move fast, but Anne Hathaway may be pumping the brakes. Sources say Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt want back in, which already sounds expensive. Anne reportedly wants to know why the story needs to exist now. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1]]></description>

Luke Combs could snag the Triple Crown. Miranda Lambert could stretch her Song of the Year record. Country music, where even the records need a chiropractor. ----- Jack Nicholson just turned 89, and Hollywood wants him back for one more movie. His friends say he’s reading scripts, but no early call times or late-night shoots. Fair enough. At 89, Jack doesn’t need a comeback. He needs a chair, a spotlight, and somebody else to find parking. ----- Paul McCartney turned down a Netflix roast, because he enjoys peace. Producers wanted a Beatle roast after Tom Brady’s, and Jeff Ross said it would be good for the world. Paul said no thanks. Smart man. You don’t survive the British Invasion just to get yelled at by comedians. ----- American Idol winner Hannah Harper is the first female country winner since Carrie Underwood. Big deal. Huge moment. And now she says a “String Cheese” tour is coming soon. I don’t know what that means, but I’m listening. Country music finally found a tour name you can snack to.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, The ACM Awards are Sunday, and history may need a bigger trophy shelf. Chris Stapleton could pass George Strait for most male wins. Luke Combs could snag the Triple Crown. Miranda Lambert could stretch her Song of the Year record. Country music, where even the records need a chiropractor. ----- Jack Nicholson just turned 89, and Hollywood wants him back for one more movie. His friends say he’s reading scripts, but no early call times or late-night shoots. Fair enough. At 89, Jack doesn’t need a comeback. He needs a chair, a spotlight, and somebody else to find parking. ----- Paul McCartney turned down a Netflix roast, because he enjoys peace. Producers wanted a Beatle roast after Tom Brady’s, and Jeff Ross said it would be good for the world. Paul said no thanks. Smart man. You don’t survive the British Invasion just to get yelled at by comedians. ----- American Idol winner Hannah Harper is the first female country winner since Carrie Underwood. Big deal. Huge moment. And now she says a “String Cheese” tour is coming soon. I don’t know what that means, but I’m listening. Country music finally found a tour name you can snack to. You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to The List, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly planning a two-stage wedding, because apparently one wedding is for peasants. The plan is a big public party with heavy security, then a smaller private ceremony. So basically, romance meets Super Bowl logistics. Because, “I do” with metal detectors and crowd control somehow make it all real… ---- Riley Green says he has no reason to leave his Alabama farm for Nashville. He told People life moves slower there, and that’s where he gets song inspiration. Smart man. Nashville has traffic, meetings, and oat milk panic. Alabama has peace, dirt roads, and probably a dog judging you from the porch. ---- Ella Langley says the last thing she does before hitting the stage is say a prayer. She prays she’ll use her gifts well and honor the work her team has put in. That’s pretty classy. Most of us just pray our zipper’s up and the microphone isn’t already hot. ---- Michael Jackson’s biopic is reportedly now the second highest-grossing biopic ever, earning $577 million since April 24th. Bohemian Rhapsody still leads with $910.8 million worldwide. So yes, the King of Pop is still moonwalking through the box office. Elvis just got bumped from the building.
