The List for Monday, July 14th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is usually catching balls… not firing them at fans’ necks. But during the American Century Golf Championship, he accidentally drilled a supporter right in the throat! The fan laughed it off, and Travis gave a heartfelt apology. See? This is why he catches passes and doesn’t throw them. That aim? Yikes.

-----

Will Smith might be living in a mansion, but apparently his bank account is moving into a studio apartment. Rumor is he’s drowning in debt trying to keep up with the giant house, the giant bills, and a career that took a hit after that slap. They’re living separately, but still spending like it’s “Fresh Prince” money. Uh-oh.

-----

Jelly Roll is dropping pounds… and apparently dropping bodies now too?! WWE is throwing him into the ring against Logan Paul at Summer Slam! It all started when Jelly was singing on Smackdown, Logan interrupted, trash was talked, and chaos followed. August 2nd–3rd, Jelly brings the thunder! Or the donuts. TBD.

-----

Country king George Strait is putting his boots to work with his “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert for Texas flood victims. It’s happening July 27th in Boerne, Texas—with dinner, music, and George being an all-around gem. If you’ve got a heart and a wallet, this is where you show up, cowboy.

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