KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
December 5, 2025
Friday 5th December 2025
Good Morning!
What a great event we have with Pack the Backpack, presented by Central Office Supply, a division of Minuteman and Kix 101.1! Each month during the school year, we will be awarding $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. We will award the prize on the last Wednesday of the month. You can listen to each new winner at 8:30a on the Morning Kix Start.
Our October winner was very grateful to be nominated and even shed a tear or two. Below you can listen to my phone call with Alden Elementary School – 6th Grade Teacher Ms. Blake Peck. She was nominated by Amy Klaffke, a parent of a student in Ms. Peck’s class. Here is the letter:
I would like to nominate at Alden Elementary School – 6th Grade Teacher Ms. Blake Peck.This year her class she got her class all their supplies so that the parents didn’t have to go back to school shopping. I know that as the year goes along they will run out of supplies and I don’t want her to have to purchase anymore for the students.
I would love to see her win “Pack the Backpack” to help her with costs of getting more supplies for the WHOLE school year. She is an amazing teacher to do that for 15 students and she deserves it!
Thanks (Parent of Student)
Amy Klaffke

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
