You can listen to each new winner at 8:30a on the Morning Kix Start.

Our latest winner is Teresa Rasmussen – Behavioral Teacher @ Edwards Elementary School, she was nominated by Bethany Hays

Teresa went above & beyond for my son, he has gone through so much trauma & she stood by him & myself every step of the way being so understanding & caring, helping me help him work though all the chaos that he went through & to control his emotions & also standing by him & being understanding when his father passed of overdose. She is so caring & gives everything she has to help all of her students & just all children & I feel like this would be the best way to show all of the appreciation & love I have for her & appreciation for everything that she does as the most AMAZING teacher I have ever met.

Take a listen to our surprise interview with Teresa

The List for Thursday, April 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

John Wick: The Franchise That Won’t Die! John Wick may have bitten the bullet in Chapter 4, but like a bad ex, he’s back for more! Not only is Keanu returning for "John Wick 5," but we’re also getting an animated prequel and a spin-off starring Donnie Yen’s blind assassin, Caine. At this point, the only thing that can actually kill John Wick… is nothing.

Blake Shelton’s “No-Frills” Rider Some artists demand rose petals and private chefs—Blake Shelton just wants Sprite Zero, vodka, and ice. No fancy snacks, no ridiculous requests. Just a man, his drink, and a guaranteed good time. Honestly, respect.

-----

Diddy’s Latest Lawsuit: What Even Is This?! A new accuser claims Diddy’s Miami “freak-off” party was more like a bad episode of Black Mirror. With big names like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and LeBron James allegedly present, we’re all wondering… was this a lawsuit or an Illuminati fanflic? Diddy’s legal team denies everything, of course.

-----

J.Lo: Single and Picky Jennifer Lopez is trying to date again, but she’s still hung up on Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, A-Rod is sliding into her texts, hoping for a second chance. The real challenge? Finding a guy willing to meet her sky-high standards. Someone call NASA—we need astronauts for this one!

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