The List for Monday, May 16th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The 2022 Billboard Music Awards is now a thing of the past with Sean‘ Diddy’ Combs at the helm.  Un-canceling people and teed up some fun throughout the night and kicked off the show with a joke about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock…Saying “in the spirit of being free, if you’re feeling a bit froggy tonight…and you decide to jump on this stage here tonight? I do suggest you have your affairs in order. And I say that with love!,” congratulations to Morgan Wallen he picked up the award for Top Country Male Artist, and Top Country Duo/Group went to Dan + Shay.

Sunday night was a special night at The Ryman Auditorium. The Judds’ family members, fans and fellow artists gathered to pay their respects to Naomi Judd, who died on April 30. The public memorial, which aired live on CMT, included tributes from both of Naomi’s daughters: Wynonna and actor Ashley Judd. The late legend’s widower, Larry Strickland, was also in the audience. Other performers paying tribute to Naomi included Ashley McBryde, Little Big Town, Allison Russell and Emmylou Harris.

Jerry Bruckheimer should be spending most of his time talking about the long-delayed release of Top Gun: Maverick, but instead there is more attention centered around another big franchise on his resume, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean. In a new interview, the producer revealed that it is extremely unlikely that Johnny Depp would appear in a potential Pirates 6 and revealed the Margot Robbie project rumored in 2020 is still in the works.  “The future is yet to be decided.” Adding that they are working on TWO Pirates scripts…one WITH her and one WITHOUT her.

Carrie Underwood has a brand new studio album, Denim and Rhinestones, slated to drop June 10th, and she’s just announced a massive headlining tour that’s kicking off in October and will run through March of 2023. She’s taking Jimmie Allen as an opener, and says she’s excited to bring some of that Las Vegas flair and showmanship from her current residency to fans all over the country: Denim and Rhinestones will be at the Tax Slayer Center in Moline IL November 12, 2022.

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.

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

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!!!
