The List for Tuesday, November 25th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley says her manager had to cut off her spending… because she dropped two hundred bucks at a candle store. Two. Hundred. Dollars. Parade Magazine says he told her, “No more splurge purchasing, you’re done.” Ella says she likes sweet scents, clean scents, eucalyptus in the bathroom, all the Zen she can cram into a tour schedule. If $200 in candles is the wildest thing she’s doing, let the woman aromatherapy her way to peace.

Because Hollywood loves nostalgia and nightmares, we now have two Wizard of Oz horror movies on the way. One is called Gale: Yellow Brick Road, which sounds like someone finally snapped on that stroll. The other is Dorothy: The Haunting of Oz, which I assume features fewer singing munchkins and more things crawling out of cornfields. Wicked reboot? Nah. Dorothy’s got demons now.

It’s the holiday season, which means the end-of-year lists are rolling in… and the first one is spicy. A new poll of “cringe celebrities” includes Katy Perry, Jared Leto, and yes Taylor Swift. That sound you hear is Swifties sharpening their pitchforks. Katy, Jared, Taylor… welcome to the Thirsty-Lights Hall of Shame, population: whoever the internet feels like roasting this week.

Riley Green just launched his own bourbon called Duck Club Bourbon, inspired by the great outdoors. It’s meant for folks who feel at home in the wild or at least want to pretend they do on Instagram. Riley calls it a toast to his Southern roots. If it doesn’t come with a camouflage koozie and a mud-splatter filter, I’ll be shocked.

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

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS OLLIE!!

Ollie was found on someone’s property, and from the moment he arrived, he showed  what a truly loving and gentle boy he is. He has a soft, affectionate nature and absolutely adores being close to people. Sit down for even a moment, and Ollie will happily curl up in your lap, purring contentedly as he settles in for cuddles. He’s a sweet, calm companion who loves attention and finds comfort in simply being near his humans.

Ollie is about two years old and is  fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, so he’s all prepared for a fresh start with a family of his own. With his warm personality and desire for closeness, he would make a wonderful lap cat and a loyal friend.

Ollie is ready for a safe, loving home where he can finally relax and share his gentle heart—could he be the perfect match for you? Being our KIX Critter of week Ollie's adoption fee is only $25.00!! Call ARL 641-753-9046 for more information.
