KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
April 1, 2026
Wednesday 1st April 2026
Welcome to The List,
Tom Brady can’t catch a break even his card shop got sacked. A guy in lower Manhattan strolled into Brady’s store called ‘Card Vault’, convinced an employee he’d paid, and walked out with ten grand in baseball and Pokémon cards. Brady’s an investor, so technically… it’s his biggest loss since that Super Bowl with the Eagles. NYPD’s on it maybe check eBay for “slightly deflated Pikachu.”

Jackson Dean told CMT he’s addicted to his morning coffee. He says he loves getting up early, brewing a cup, and sitting outside before the day starts. So basically, Jackson’s just like the rest of us except his view doesn’t include a barking neighbor and an overgrown lawn.

Apparently, AC/DC’s concert in Melbourne literally moved the earth just not as much as Taylor Swift did. Scientists recorded minor quakes during their show, but Taylor’s Eras Tour shook the same stadium even harder. Moral of the story? Rock might roll, but Swifties bring the seismic drama.

Lainey Wilson played a little country “superlatives” game, and her answers were chef’s kiss. She said Miranda Lambert’s the one most likely to own a peacock, Zach Top would be the first to go streaking, and Ella Langley would crush a hot dog eating contest. So basically, the next CMT Awards just became a county fair.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
The April Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Sarah Fricke – K-4 Special Behavior Intervention Teacher @ Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Newton. She was nominated by Steven Marsh, Jaimie Bru, Ashley Durant, and Jonathan Duran, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1.
"She loves her job. She is good at her job. And she loves the students like they are her own kids."
"She works hard to help kids with behavior issues be successful at becoming their best self and helps get them on the right track to being able to be in classes with the other kids."
"Sarah is amazing with her students. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that her students are taken care of."
"Sarah teaches in and out of school no matter where you see her. She is always buying supplies, rewards, etc. out of her own pocket to ensure the kids are getting what they need. She goes above and beyond what any teacher is required to do. There are times she brings snacks to ensure kids get a birthday at school, Buys McDonalds, etc. if a child works hard enough on their issue etc."
On the last Wednesday of the month during the school year, we award $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. Nominate a Kix Country teacher today at Kixweb.com.
Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift has officially entered her glittery legal era again. A Las Vegas performer says Taylor’s use of “The Life Of A Showgirl” is stomping all over her own brand, “Confessions of a Showgirl.” She’s suing for trademark infringement, wants damages, and an injunction too.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
