The List for Monday, July 14th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is usually catching balls… not firing them at fans’ necks. But during the American Century Golf Championship, he accidentally drilled a supporter right in the throat! The fan laughed it off, and Travis gave a heartfelt apology. See? This is why he catches passes and doesn’t throw them. That aim? Yikes.

-----

Will Smith might be living in a mansion, but apparently his bank account is moving into a studio apartment. Rumor is he’s drowning in debt trying to keep up with the giant house, the giant bills, and a career that took a hit after that slap. They’re living separately, but still spending like it’s “Fresh Prince” money. Uh-oh.

-----

Jelly Roll is dropping pounds… and apparently dropping bodies now too?! WWE is throwing him into the ring against Logan Paul at Summer Slam! It all started when Jelly was singing on Smackdown, Logan interrupted, trash was talked, and chaos followed. August 2nd–3rd, Jelly brings the thunder! Or the donuts. TBD.

-----

Country king George Strait is putting his boots to work with his “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert for Texas flood victims. It’s happening July 27th in Boerne, Texas—with dinner, music, and George being an all-around gem. If you’ve got a heart and a wallet, this is where you show up, cowboy.

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, July 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

-----

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

-----

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

-----

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.

The List for Thursday, July 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

-----

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.

-----

Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.

-----

Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!
