KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
September 3, 2025
Wednesday 3rd September 2025
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 April winner is 4th Grade Teacher at Roland-Story Elementary, Mrs. Jane Bauman. She was nominated by Felicia Lucas, a parent who wrote to Kix 101.1.:
My 4th grader has Mrs. Bauman at Roland-Story Elementary this year. Riley comes home everyday and tells me about how Mrs. Bauman makes every lesson “so much fun”. But, what stuck out in my mind the most is a lesson that will stay with Riley for the rest of her life.“Everyone makes mistakes.” It’s only the 3rd week of school and Mrs. Bauman has already instilled in these little minds that everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect and we can always be forgiven. That’s a lesson even adults have trouble with and I think it’s such a wonderful thing she is incorporating it into their everyday classroom experience.

Welcome to The List,
Tim McGraw made history this weekend, rocking the very first concert at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. And it wasn’t just big for Iowa it was personal. McGraw told the crowd it would’ve been his dad Tug’s 81st birthday, then had everybody sing Happy Birthday to the late MLB pitcher. He posted later: “First ever concert, Tug’s birthday too… hard to top that, Iowa!”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be heading down the aisle… quietly. Word is they’re planning a small wedding with just close friends and family. The “wedding of the century,” but, you know chill. They’re engaged, still living in separate houses, and shopping for the perfect love nest. Oh, and Taylor might step back as godmother to Blake Lively’s kids thanks to some messy legal drama.
-----
Cue the wrestling theme music because Hulk Hogan’s $25 million fortune may spark a battle nastier than any match he ever fought. His kids, Brooke and Nick, could go head-to-head with wives and creditors in a legal smackdown. Insiders say it’s gonna be ugly, bitter, and drag on for years. So basically… Hulkamania, but in probate court.

Blake Shelton may have dropped a little shade on The Voice. While hyping his new CBS show The Road, he said it’s not just another stage where people sing cover songs. Nope it’s about the real grind: sleeping on buses, playing to crowds that didn’t buy tickets, and writing songs that might never pay the bills. Translation: welcome to country music boot camp.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
