The List for Monday, January 3rd 2022

Welcome to The List,

For the longest time cowboy hats were a thing in country music.  Everyone from Tim McGraw to Garth Brooks…the “Hat acts” of the 90’s were huge…then hats went away for a while…now…2022 those hats are making a comeback…Dustin Lynch has a bunch of cowboy hats but how many does he know? “I have no idea how many cowboy hats I own, I opened a closet at my house and found 40 boxes of cowboy hats I didn’t know I had. So, we’re in the dozens…dozens and dozens of cowboy hats right now.” The one he wears on any given day depends on the mood he’s in.

Laila 1/4/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, IS LAILA

Laila is an adorable 1-year-old Pit Bull mix who came in as a stray. When she arrived, she was wearing a collar with a piece of tape on it — the only clue to her name. Beyond that, her past is a mystery, but excited to help her build a bright future.

Laila is full of love and energy! She adores people and is eager to please, but like many young dogs, she’ll need a home that can give her guidance, structure, and training to help her grow into her best self. She seems interested in other dogs, though still getting to know how she does with new friends, as well as kids and cats.

Since she came in with little background information, it may take some time for her true personality to shine as she adjusts to shelter life, but with patience and consistency, Laila will make a wonderful companion.

Her $75.00 (since she is the KIX CRITTER) adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and health testing — everything she needs to get started in her new home. Find out more ARL Marshalltown

If you’re looking for a young, enthusiastic dog to join your family and you’re ready to put in the time and love she deserves, Laila might be the perfect fit!

The List for Monday, November 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Mariah Carey’s been officially “unthawed,” which means Bunnie Xo is already in full Christmas chaos mode. She said, “I’m going Christmas shopping, my husband’s not here to stop me, and the tree’s going up today.” So, Jelly Roll’s credit card is about to experience a financial frostbite of its own.

-----

Apparently, Keith Urban’s had enough of Nicole Kidman swooning over her co-stars. A source says he got “tired of hearing about her well “physical reawakening” which sounds like a Lifetime movie nobody asked for. Rumor is, he’s now living his own life... probably somewhere quiet, with zero Oscar winners in sight.

-----

Diddy’s trading bling for bleach at Fort Dix in New Jersey, working in the prison laundry room. Federal prosecutors once said he couldn’t even charge his own phone now he’s folding socks for people who can. Talk about going from “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” to “Wash, Rinse, Repeat.”

-----

Michael Jackson moonwalked his way to another posthumous victory, topping the 2025 highest-paid dead celebrity list with $105 million. Dr. Seuss came in second with $85 million proving even in the afterlife, rhymes and royalties pay. Meanwhile, Pink Floyd’s late members still cashing in. That’s one heck of a reunion tour.

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