Wyatt 8/6/2024

 

Our KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, WYATT!

Wyatt came to the ARL as a stray that was injured after being hit by a car. Staff went out and came to his rescue, veterinarian's assessed his injuries and eventually a surgery to repair his leg was completed. Check out the color of his eyes!

Wyatt is back on the mend and working on leg stretches to ensure a complete healing. Wyatt is a sweet boy, who is looking for a family to love and continue to help him heal. You could also be a foster for him too!

Wyatt gets along with other dogs after a slow introduction and is ok with cats. Wyatt's adoption fee cover his vaccines, microchip, heartworm test and various other treatments. If you are interested in Wyatt, please stop by the front desk or call 641-753-9046

The List for Monday, August 5th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Aerosmith if you’re a fan has big news…they have retired from touring, because Steven Tyler won't fully recover from his vocal issues.  The band says, quote, "Play our music loud, now and always.   Dream On.  You've made our dreams come true."

-----

If you lose in the fantasy football league Luke Combs and his friends are in, you have to sing in front of a crowd of 60,000 people.  Some people online said that it would be awesome, but with as bad as his friends were at singing, this was definitely a punishment.

-----

Ben Affleck has debuted a bold midlife crisis makeover amidst his split from Jennifer Lopez. The actor was seen in Los Angeles sporting a faux hawk, a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt, skinny jeans, aviators, a black leather jacket and no wedding ring.  Interesting choice….

-----

PEOPLE magazine says Ryan Reynolds recently responded to a veterinary clinic ad offering him free belly rubs in British Columbia, Canada. He posted; "Don’t think for a second I won’t come in to redeem this offer. Belly rubs are why I became a golden retriever in the first place."

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

The List for Friday, August 2nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

Simone Biles won her sixth gold medal in front of a star-studded audience . . . Tom Cruise filmed a stunt that will close out the games . . . and an Italian gymnast is an ambassador for parmesan cheese.

-----

Willie Nelson has said some hilarious things in his day, but I think this one might take the cake. It was 1987, and he was on the "Johnny Carson Show", and Johnny asked him, "When you're on the road, there are groupies, You know, women who want more than just your autograph . . . how do you handle that?"  If you want to know what he said…(You can watch the full interview, here.)

-----

Britney Spears' tell-all memoir is being turned into a movie. No word yet on who will play the pop star.  The memoir includes revelations about her past relationships, mental health battles, and relationship with Justin Timberlake. THIS ought to be good…

-----

Thoughts of ever dating Megan Moroney well, it just isn’t going to happen…She tells Fox News Digital that she doesn't have time for a relationship. "I think I've never been more dialled in with my career than I am now. I really don't have time for a relationship, and I think it's reflected in my album.

The List for Thursday, August 1st 2024

Welcome to The List,

Post Malone finally released the full track list for his new album, "F-1 Trillion", and he did it in a full-page ad in "The Tennessean".  It was also just announced that Posty will make his Opry debut on August 14th…The question is…how ‘country’ IS Post Malone…well, he’s from Texas….

-----

Bill Maher is predicting Travis Kelce will 'dump' Taylor Swift.  Maher called Swift "tacky" for singing about her past relationships. "I'm sure she's a lovely person, but the whole thing with the football player. I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, 'My boyfriend's a football player and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it!'…Bill Maher is getting BLASTED online from Swift fans…

-----

Luke Combs and Garth Brooks sat down recently and talked about the current state of Country music.  Luke said Country has a little bit of everything now, quote, "You can have the trap beat and the acoustic songwriter Zach Bryan thing and they're both doing stadium shows."  Doesn’t make it country….

-----

Word has it that Carrie Underwood is joining "American Idol" this coming season to replace Katy Perry.  Of course, Carrie won Season Four of "Idol" way back in 2005.
