KIX-KLASH RE-HASH

Sunday 22nd February 2026
Welcome to The List,
Brett Young is opening on Sam Hunt’s current tour . . . and I think it’s safe to say they’re NOT partying like crazy. Unless the parties feature balloons, cake, and Squishmallows. Brett and Sam are both girl dads, and you can relate if you’re a girl dad. Have THEY bonded over that? “Yeah, it really softens you as a dude, you know, you kind of think when you’re doing well in life, you think you’re all that. That’s the cliché expression, but you have little girls, and they remind you that you’re not.”

Garth Brooks did it with Takamine now Miranda Lambert has collaborated with Gibson to create a custom version of their Hummingbird acoustic guitar. Her model is called the Miranda Lambert Bluebird, and it features a cool, “bluebonnet lacquer finish,” and a bluebird pickguard. You can find them at Gibson.com for just under $5,000.

William Shatner is being inducted into the San Diego Air and Space Museum’s International Hall of Fame. His induction is the result of him being the oldest person to go into space NOT because he is the original Captain Kirk. William and several others hovered above Earth on October 13, 2021 aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket.

Jon Pardi tells People magazine that he loves the interactions he’s had with his country music heroes. Saying he got to workout with Tim McGraw…had a beer with Alan Jackson and talked to George Strait a couple times. Just a few of his heroes that he’s been listening to since he was a kid.

Sinead O’Connor’s memorial service and burial took place yesterday in Ireland. U2 stars Bono and The Edge attended the funeral Hundreds of fans lined the streets in Sinead’s hometown to get a glimpse of the hearse carrying her remains.

And lastly, Barbie fans are getting foot tattoos that read JAPAN. Barbie dolls from the 1960s had the word stamped across the bottom of their right foot. Now, fans of the new movie are doing the same. Some are adjusting the tattoo to read “Made in ____ .” (Country they are from)

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.

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
