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 Friday, March 28th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be trading stadium lights for starlit nights! The couple was spotted at a hidden speakeasy in Montana, loving the low-key vibes—no paparazzi, no bodyguards, just good times. A source says they’re even thinking of buying a house there because it’s the one place they feel truly free. Montana: come for the views, stay for the Swift-Kelce sightings!

-----

Jennifer Lopez is not happy with Ben Affleck spilling tea about their divorce! A source says she’s fed up with him using their breakup for press and is this close to dropping all the receipts. Another insider adds, “If he thinks he’s rewriting the ending, he’s wrong.” Sounds like Bennifer: The Sequel might get real messy..

-----

Jelly Roll had to miss his big Grand Ole Opry duet with Ashley McBryde, and fans were shook! Instead, Post Malone stepped in for a surprise Johnny & June tribute. But where was Jelly? Turns out, he was battling a fever so bad he slept 20 hours straight! “Broke my heart, man,” he said. Don’t worry, Jelly—next time, just send a doctor’s note!

-----

Hailey Whitters just learned a very important life lesson—always check the toilet before sitting! The country singer found a bat chilling under the rim after she had already used the bathroom. The result? Five rabies shots and a viral TikTok moment. Pest control thinks it came through the chimney, but Hailey’s still wondering how it landed in that spot. Moral of the story: Always look before you leak!
