Here is Amber’s sweet letter about her husband:
I love my husband Ken more than words can convey, and I would love this opportunity to share it with your listeners. Since our small wedding 24 years ago, he’s worn (and loved) a slim, gold wedding band. Like his ring, we show our age more now. We are not as shiny as we once tried to be, we are a little mishapen around the middle, and have some weak spots. He’s not a flashy man, but he deserves more. As an essential worker in the electric department who never missed work during the pandemic and put in crazy hours during the derecho, only to come home to an 85 degree powerless house with storm damage of its own – he never once complained. And he would never complain that his ring has seen better days, nor would he want to spend money on a replacement. This contest is an amazing opportunity to show him how much I appreciate all he does for me, for our family, for his job, and for our community. Every time he looks at it he would be reminded of my true and undying love for him and the fact that I wanted to shout it out to all of Kix country.
UPDATE: Doris was able to get a hold of Amber!!
I was a bit caught off guard with question #1 do you know that is the nickname of Iowa?
Welcome to The List,
Shia LaBeouf went full Mardi Gras meltdown in New Orleans, getting arrested after a fight outside a bar and charged with simple battery. Paramedics showed up, Shia went to the hospital, and locals claimed he’d been “terrorizing the city.” But plot twist, after getting released, he was spotted dancing on Bourbon Street with his release papers in his mouth like it was a receipt from a wild night at Walgreens.

Miley Cyrus is dusting off the blonde wig for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special hitting Disney+ March 24th. They’re recreating the original sets, showing never-before-seen footage, Miley says Hannah will always be part of her, which makes sense, because that show launched her career and funded about half her wardrobe during the foam finger era. Somewhere Billy Ray just whispered, “Best of both worlds… and residual checks.”

Carrie Underwood might look like a country music superhero on stage, but at home she’s basically your Midwest grandma with better hair. She says she crochets, birdwatches, makes sourdough, brews kombucha, and even ferments her own hot sauce. Carrie says real life isn’t glam, it’s cleaning toilets, gardening, and doing laundry. So yes, America’s sweetheart could win a Grammy in the morning and yell at you in the afternoon for not using a coaster.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO just announced they’ve found a surrogate and are preparing to grow their family. Bunnie says after years of healing and getting stable, they’re ready to raise kids surrounded by love and give them everything they didn’t have growing up. Which means those kids will have emotional support, life wisdom, and probably the coolest bedtime stories ever told by a guy named Jelly Roll.
Catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
