Our latest winner is Mrs. Morgan Fehrmann – Kindergarten Teacher @ Grundy Center Elementary School, she was nominated by Kelsey Nilles, she wrote

Mrs. Fehrmann is new to our school district and she has been an AMAZING addition! My daughter is in her class & comes home every day telling me how wonderful kindergarten is. This is largely due to the work & dedication of Mrs. Fehrmann! She is committed to making sure that these young students are learning as much as they can & are becoming well rounded individuals. I am so proud to say that my daughter is in Mrs. Fehrmann’s class! I also am on the staff at Grundy Center with Mrs. Fehrmann & can attest that she brings so much to the table professionally! She has some great experiences to share & is constantly working to become a better teacher. She is a great collaborator & team player, & she really wants what is best for ALL of the students in our building!

The List for Tuesday, June 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

NBC was covering the Army's big 250th bash, when surprise performer Warren Zeiders hit the stage—and the hosts? Clueless. One said, “I don’t know who this is,” and the other added, “Time for the Google.” Yikes. Country fans everywhere collectively screamed “IT’S WARREN, NOT WALLEN!” He was singing “Ride the Lightning” while the hosts were riding the struggle bus.

-----

Kane Brown just pulled a very Kane Brown move. Dude grabbed a Walmart loudspeaker and straight-up said, “This is Kane Brown—I’m playing y’all my new song!” Mid-intercom concert, an employee rushes over like, “Sir, you can’t Kane here.” But instead of explaining, Kane just BOLTS—full-on supermarket sprint. The whole thing feels staged, but watching him escape like he stole a rotisserie chicken? Comedy gold. Click HERE to see the video.

Brad Pitt says he’s totally open to working with Tom Cruise again—as long as it doesn’t involve dangling off airplanes. He basically said, “If Tom wants to fly, he can fly solo.” Brad’s all about the acting, not the aerial acrobatics. Honestly, same. I don’t even want to hang off a rollercoaster, let alone a plane.

-----

Arnold Schwarzenegger says gym life has changed since his son Patrick starred in White Lotus. He walks in, expecting attention, but now women are like, “Hey big guy, can you give this to your son?” Arnold’s fine with it, though—he says if Patrick outshines him, he’ll die happy. Translation: “I’ll be back…but as the dad of the hot guy.”

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

Tinker 6/17/25

Our KIX Critter of the Week!! Tinker!!

Tinker was surrendered after his owner could no longer care for him. He’s an incredibly sweet and gentle cat who’s looking for a quiet, loving home to call his own.

Tinker enjoys lounging in his bed and taking it easy. He’s not very playful, but he loves chin scratches and relaxing near his favorite people. He’s the perfect cat for someone looking for a calm, low-key companion. He is cat friendly and his adoption fee is only $17.50!!

Tinker is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, FIV/FeLV tested, and microchipped.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, affectionate cat, Tinker is ready to meet you.
