The List for Thursday, July 31st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Football is right around the corner so… warm up those nachos because Carrie Underwood is back belting “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” for lucky year thirteen. The new version kicks off September 7th when the Ravens tackle the Bills. Clear your throat, stretch your chips, and prepare to scream-sing along like it’s national cardio.

-----

Ozzy Osbourne just flipped the script on funerals no sobbing backstabbers, just a full-throttle rock-n-roll revenge party. Marching band blasting “Crazy Train” through Birmingham, dark jokes louder than the hearse, and a firm “no fake tears” sign for anyone who crossed Sharon. Even Elton John showed up, probably wearing earplugs.

-----

Miranda Lambert just clapped back at the internet gawking at her caboose. She posted a slow-mo strut video labeled, “Warned y’all ’bout my backyard swagger since 2014.” Basically saying: the view’s been scenic for a decade, folks kindly catch up, adjust your binoculars, and remember manners before ogling country royalty.

-----

Tim McGraw just went full cue-ball chic buzzed off the cowboy locks and rolled out a sharp gray goatee. The Country Wire’s photos prove it: he’s serving “silver-fox bouncer at a honky-tonk spa.” Saddle up, shampoo budget; Tim’s new look could cut wind resistance and maybe your heart rate.

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

Ashland Craft and the Dive Bar Queen Tour

Ashland Craft is in concert at Wild Hogs Saloon on August 1st. It was great talking with her about the first time I heard her sing that song on The Voice. It made Blake hit that button so fast! Now she is on Leo33 a new label and her first album Dive Bar Beauty Queen  and "Lie A Little"

The List for Wednesday, July 30th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Brad Paisley pulled a fast one in Bridgeport, Connecticut while singing Mr. Policeman, he handed guitar picks to actual cops on stage. Just casually trolling the guys who could literally arrest him mid-solo. The Bridgeport Police loved it, posted the video, and didn’t press charges…for now.

-----

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were caught on a dinner date in Montreal. Yes, that Justin Canada’s ex-PM. They sipped cocktails, devoured lobster, and whispered sweet nothings under government-level security. Because nothing says “I miss power” like flirting over shellfish. Thirsty, much?

-----

Kendall Jenner and Chris Stapleton teamed up to promote tequila and whiskey because nothing pairs better than influencers and hangovers. But it got deep: Kendall said she loves sad songs, and Chris hit her with, “It makes us feel less alone in sadness.” Who knew whiskey came with therapy?

-----

Brad Pitt’s filming The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a spinoff from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Gremlins 3 is ready to roll…just waiting on Steven Spielberg to stop ghosting their texts. So yeah Brad’s back, and the Mogwai might be too. Popcorn, anyone?

The List for Tuesday, July 29th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Everybody wants to go viral with their ridiculous popcorn buckets, but Marvel just said “hold my butter.” The new Fantastic Four bucket is shaped like Galactus’ head… lights up… and holds 341 ounces of popcorn. It’s officially the world’s biggest popcorn bucket. Because apparently, movies now come with a side of Guinness Records.

-----

So a Miranda Lambert concert clip just blew up on TikTok—and not because of her voice. A fan caught a clear shot of her backstage passes and the top comment? “Now we know why the front row is so expensive.” I mean, she did say she was bringing the heat to Seattle.

-----

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s $25 million Netflix movie is stuck in development... limbo. No director, no cast, and apparently, no one with a wallet is touching it. One insider said, “This isn’t 2020. Meghan’s sparkle has dimmed.” Translation: Netflix is holding the bag, and the bag is empty.

-----

Beyoncé just broke the record for the highest-grossing country music tour of all time. Yeah, you heard that right—COUNTRY. She made over $407 million. Meanwhile, Zach Bryan—actual country dude—only pulled in $321 million. Somebody remind Queen B: rhinestones don’t make you Nashville.

Bridget 7/29/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS BRIDGET!!

Bridget was found at Three Bridges City Park after a kind passerby noticed her alone and suspected she had been dumped. She was brought to the shelter for care, but during her intake exam, we realized she was nursing and likely had kittens nearby. She was returned to the park.  A few days later, one of the staff members was able to locate Bridget and her kittens and bring the entire family safely to the shelter.

Since then, Bridget has done an amazing job caring for her babies. Thanks to her attentive mothering, the kittens are all healthy, thriving, and fully weaned. Now that her role as mom is complete, Bridget is ready to find a forever home of her own. Bridget is only 2 years old! 

Bridget absolutely adores people and loves nothing more than cuddling and soaking up affection. She isn’t particularly fond of other adult cats and would prefer to be the only feline in the home. She has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations, has been microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Bridget is a sweet, loving cat who has been through a lot and is more than ready for the comfort and care of a permanent home. More information 

SINCE SHE IS OUR KIX CRITTER HER ADOPTION FEE IS ONLY $25.00!!!
