KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
December 10, 2025
Wednesday 10th December 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 February winner is 4th Grade Teacher at GMG Elementary, Quentin Moen. He was nominated by Kyle Hall. Here is what he wrote to Kix 101.1.:
Good morning!
I want to nominate Mr. Quentin Moen for the pack the backpack. Mr. Moen is a 4th grade teacher at GMG Elementary. He has previously taught before but being a 1st year/new teacher at a school has challenges in itself. Mr. Moen’s challenges were amplified by the fact that he actually took over the classroom roughly 6 weeks into the school year after another teacher left. My daughter, Brynnlee, was very nervous when she heard she was about to have her first “boy teacher” but she has loved every minute since he became her classes teacher. He is very attentive with the kids, breaks things down when they don’t understand and overall has made learning fun for my daughter and her fellow students. He is often incentivizing the kids with prizes for a job well done and I am sure this could help with those prizes or anything else he needs as he continues to get his classroom set up!
Go Wolverines!
Thank you for the consideration,
Kyle Hall

Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise is allegedly still stunned and furious that Ana de Armas dumped him. A source says he “didn’t see it coming” and can’t wrap his head around the idea that she didn’t want him as a long-term partner. Now Ana’s out here laughing it up with Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari garage — which stings even more because Lewis is friends with Tom.

Maddie & Tae are officially calling it quits after 15 years together. Tae says she’s stepping away to raise her kids, and Maddie is heading into her solo chapter. Country duos break up worse than boy bands. . From “Girl in a Country Song” to “Die from a Broken Heart,” they gave us the harmonies AND the therapy.

Jason Aldean’s six-year-old daughter Navy lost her first tooth and not to the Tooth Fairy, but to a knee in the face during some vacation roughhousing. That’ll teach ya! One moment you’re having family fun, the next you’re spitting teeth like a tiny MMA fighter. At least the Tooth Fairy pays better than UFC.

Golden Globe nominations dropped yesterday, and One Battle After Another and The White Lotus are leading the pack in movies and TV. The show airs January 11th on CBS. Soooo….get ready for another three-hour Hollywood party where everyone pretends to be surprised and the host makes at least one joke that gets them in trouble on Twitter.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
