Skip Ewing

Skip Ewing has a new song called Road Dog about his dog Shotgun, who likes to sit in the front seat, he called me last week to thank the station for playing the song.

That’s were it started and I realized I needed to talk to him and record the conversation.

We talked about Road Dog and I brought up the song Would If I Could. I wanted to hear the “rest of the story” behind that gem.

 I brought up the Fur Ball the yearly fund raiser for The ARL and Skip thought it would be fun if he could do a video with Shotgun for the event. That video can be seen when you click on the KIX app!!

The video for the song has fan’s dogs featured and by popular demand another video featuring more pictures of his fan’s dogs is being planned!

The List for Wednesday, April 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Country star Cole Swindell just admitted something we can ALL relate to—he used to hate the sound of his own voice. In a recent interview, he said, “Nobody really likes hearing themselves talk.” Well, Cole, join the club. If you've ever cringed at your own voicemail or nearly thrown your phone across the room after hearing yourself in a video, you get it. Luckily for Cole, he powered through the awkwardness and now has multiple hit songs. The rest of us? Still avoiding voice memos at all costs.

Kelsea Ballerini fans are dedicated—but one took it to the next level at her recent concert in Salt Lake City. The fan asked her to sign his actual divorce decree, thanking her for helping him through his breakup. Ballerini politely declined (probably a smart legal move), but the interaction quickly went viral. The real question is: Was his ex there, and did she demand joint custody of the concert tickets?

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly considering leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show to take over for Hoda Kotb on The Today Show. Why? Because talk show hosting is exhausting, and she wants more time with her kids. Honestly, fair. Running a daily talk show is like throwing a dinner party every single day—but with celebrity guests and an audience judging your every move. An NBC insider says the switch is a real possibility, meaning morning TV could soon have more Kelly and possibly… fewer impromptu Hoda dance breaks?

A new Netflix rom-com is doing the unthinkable—convincing people to make major life decisions. The Life List, starring Sofia Carson, follows a woman completing her late mother’s bucket list, and apparently, it’s inspiring real-life viewers to dump their toxic partners and quit their terrible jobs. So if you see a co-worker watching it on their lunch break, brace yourself—they might be handing in their two weeks’ notice by the end of the day.

People magazine says Val Kilmer, known for Top Gun, has passed away at 65 from pneumonia. The actor had battled throat cancer. Kilmer leaves behind his daughter, Mercedes, and son, Jack.
