The List for Thursday, August 28th 2025

Welcome to The List,

"Apparently Tom Cruise has a new mission hating Pedro Pascal. Word is, Tom’s in his 60s but still refuses to pass the Hollywood torch. He patched things up with Brad Pitt, but now Pedro bugs him because he does TV and movies. Tom’s like, real stars only pack theaters.’ Meanwhile, Pedro’s out here running the galaxy and HBO. Someone get Tom a juice box."

-----

"Morgan Wallen tells Men’s Journal his escape from fame is hunting with his buddies. He says being in the middle of nowhere helps him chill out and de-stress. Which is fair, because nothing says peace and quiet like blasting ducks out of the sky with your best friends. That’s country therapy…

-----

"A new poll says 72% of us don’t care that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. And yet over a million shares of their engagement post set an Instagram record. So yeah, we don’t care… we just care enough to make it the most talked-about thing on the planet.

-----

"Bill Belichick is 73 and dating a 24-year-old. And now, his girlfriend just filed to trademark the phrase ‘Gold Digger’ for jewelry and keychains. That’s a 49-year age gap, folks. At this point, their anniversary gifts are probably Metamucil and a TikTok ring light."

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 Wednesday, August 27th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Tom Holland says playing James Bond is every British actor’s dream. He told People magazine he already feels like the luckiest kid alive. Honestly, Tom, you’re Spider-Man 007 feels like a downgrade. Do you really want to trade web-slinging for shaken martinis and car insurance commercials?

-----

The NY Post says Kelly Osbourne went off on WWE star Becky Lynch for trashing her dad, Ozzy, during Monday Night Raw. Becky joked the only good thing from Birmingham died a month ago. Kelly clapped back, calling her a disrespectful dirtbag. Somewhere, Ozzy’s like: “Wait… I’m what?!”

-----

A 2016 Morgan Wallen interview is resurfacing where he named his dream lineup: himself headlining, plus Eric Church, Chris Cornell, Drake, and Tim McGraw. That’s not a concert that’s a Spotify shuffle. Imagine Drake and Tim McGraw on the same stage. Talk about a confused audience.

-----

Carly Pearce just admitted on Bunnie XO’s podcast that her real name is Carly Cristyne Slusser. She said Slusser was “a horrible name for a country singer.” Yeah, no kidding. Slusser. Sounds more like a farm equipment brand than a chart-topper.

The List for Tuesday, August 26th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Tom Cruise is reportedly working on a prenup for Ana de Armas… before he even pops the question. The plan is: she says yes, and a lawyer walks in with a stack of paperwork thicker than a "Mission Impossible" script. Look, he’s crazy about her, but, he wants everything in writing. Honestly, Tom’s love language “Sign here, initial there.”

-----

Lainey Wilson almost bought a jet ski on impulse… because that’s what beer does to people. She and her fiancé Duck were at their favorite restaurant when she saw someone cruise in on a turquoise jet ski and said, “We’re gettin’ one!” But by the time she finished her beer, Duck had talked her out of it.  You know you’ve got a keeper when he stops you from buying floating money pits.

-----

Aaron Lewis is going after Bruce Springsteen, saying he “duped us all” with Born in the USA…calling it one of the most anti-American songs ever. Which is wild, because half the country still thinks it’s a fist-pumping patriotic anthem. I guess the real American tradition is… not reading the lyrics before cranking it at a barbecue.

-----

So Snoop Dogg takes his grandson to see Disney’s Lightyear… and his grandson asks, “Papa Snoop, how does a woman have a baby with a woman?” Snoop’s response? “Eat your popcorn, lil man.” He told a podcast he’s scared to even go to the movies now, because kids ask questions he can’t answer. Imagine Snoop, high as a kite, sweating in a Pixar theater like, “Man, I just wanted Buzz Lightyear, not a biology exam.”

Helen & Portland 8/28/2025

Our KIX Critters of the week are Helen and Portland!!

Both females are FIV+ but it's not a death sentence for either of these two cuties!! Jodi explains what FIV is and the fact that FIV+ cats can be adopted with other cats. She does state that you should talk to your vet about it, first. I suggested to adopt the two together!! Their adoption fee is only $25.00 each!! More information

Portland

Portland is a playful, affectionate cat with a funny personality and the cutest little hops. She’s FIV-positive, which means she has a weaker immune system and needs a bit of extra care, but it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life to the fullest. She loves being petted, chasing toy mice, and soaking up attention.

Portland would do great as the only cat or in a home with other FIV-positive kitties. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped—ready to find her forever home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion, Portland is your girl!

Helen

Helen is a sweet and friendly 2-year-old cat who came in with her three adorable kittens, all of whom have since been adopted. Helen is a big fan of head scratches and cuddles—she’ll happily come right up to you for some love. She enjoys lounging in her bed, but also loves curling up with people for some extra warmth and attention.

Helen has tested positive for FIV, which means she needs a little extra care due to a weakened immune system. She’d do well in a home with other FIV-positive cats or as the only cat, soaking up all the attention! Helen is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and microchipped, so she’s ready for her next adventure with a loving family.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion who loves affection, Helen could be the perfect match!
