The List for Friday, May 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Well brother, Hulk Hogan is back, and this time he’s body-slamming the rulebook. The 72-year-old Hall of Famer is teaming up with Eric Bischoff to launch “Real American Freestyle,” which sounds like something your uncle would call a backyard brawl after two Busch Lights. They’re promising unscripted wrestling, aka chaos with abs. First event’s in August, “Finally, a league where every match ends in a hip replacement.”

Country queen Lainey Wilson is heading to Hollywood, She’s starring in her first feature film called “Reminders of Him,”.  It hits theaters next February, which gives you plenty of time to pretend you read the book. Spoiler: expect heartbreak, tears, and probably someone staring out a window during a rainstorm while Lainey sings softly in the background.

So Bill Belichick had a CBS interview… that mysteriously got paused when the reporter asked about his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. CBS says there were “no preconditions,” but Bill’s camp says otherwise. Meanwhile, Jordon—who, by the way, is nearly 50 years younger—now owns an $8 million real estate portfolio. Love is patient, love is kind… love is also a smart real estate investor, apparently.

I didn’t have Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley on my 2025 weird couple bingo card—but here we are. Sources say she loved her time in Tennessee, surrounded by nature… and mullets. They believe they were destined to reunite, which is beautiful, in a “Nicholas Sparks meets Cracker Barrel” kind of way.  “Nothing says destiny like Liz Hurley in a Bass Pro Shop.”

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.

Dexter and a PSA 6/3/25

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, DEXTER!!!

Dexter is a big, handsome boy with a sweet and easygoing nature. He is 4-years-old. He absolutely loves ear scratches and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give him. While he’s not the biggest fan of being picked up, he’s perfectly content curling up in small spaces where he can feel cozy and secure.

One of Dexter's quirks is his love for playing in water – whether it’s splashing around in a bowl or just curiously watching the faucet, he’s always up for some wet fun! Dexter also has a cute little birthmark on his ear that adds to his charm.

Dexter is cat-friendly and has a great personality that will make him a wonderful addition to the right home. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped for his safety.

If you're looking for a loving, playful cat with lots of character, Dexter might be the perfect match for you and because he is our KIX Critter of the week his adoption fee is only $25!!!

The List for Monday, June 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Well, it’s official—Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen tied the knot in California over the weekend, looking like a Pinterest board come to life. She rocked a strapless gown, gloves, and a veil longer than your aunt’s group text. They got engaged last November, and guess who showed up? Larry freakin' David. Yep, Mr. Curb Your Enthusiasm himself, despite being a hardcore Jets fan. I’m sure that stirred up some awkward small talk by the shrimp cocktail.

-----

Mark Hamill has officially hung up the lightsaber and said, “I’m out.” He told Screen Rant that Star Wars should focus on new characters—translation: “I’ve done my time, now leave me alone.” He even joked about not wanting to be a naked Force ghost since he left his robes behind in The Last Jedi. Honestly, Mark, that’s probably best for all of us. May the pants be with you.

-----

Over in Philly, Jelly Roll and Post Malone had a full-blown magical moment. While Jelly was belting out “Hard Fought Hallelujah” at Citizens Bank Park, a DOUBLE RAINBOW appeared—like, straight-up Disney movie vibes. Jelly even pointed and said, “You can’t tell me God ain’t here!” And honestly? With that kind of timing, either God’s a fan… or He’s on tour too.

-----

Well, country meets abs in the new rom-com The Token Groomsman. Kane Brown is hopping on the rom-com train with Taylor Lautner—yep, Twilight wolf boy himself. Kane’s playing the best friend, while Taylor’s character jets off to a fancy Italian wedding, not for love, but to make business connections. Because nothing says romance like networking over a charcuterie board in Tuscany. Can’t wait to see who gets drunk and ruins the vows.
