Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs and Eric Church’s Concert for Carolina raised $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene victims’ last fall.  And Luke promised “every single dollar” would be used to help them.  So, did they follow through?  Yes, all $24.5 MILLION went exactly where Luke Combs and Eric Church said it would.  Half went to four charities Luke picked.  The other half went to Eric’s nonprofit called Chief Cares to help build new homes.

Travis Kelce will receive a $12.5 million roster bonus if he stays with the Chiefs instead of retiring. The team could save $17 million in cap space if he retires or gets released. Despite uncertainty, sources say Kelce is leaning towards playing another season…

I’m having the team reach out to set you up [with tickets] for Kansas City . . . if our girl is feeling good enough [to go].”

Mango 2/25/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS MANGO!!

Mango is a 2-year-old cat who came to the shelter with her kitten, who has since been adopted. Now, it’s Mango’s turn to find her forever home!

She’s a sweet girl who loves being petted, but she can also be a little temperamental at times. If she’s startled or overstimulated, she may show a bit of an attitude, so she’ll need someone who can read her cues and give her space when she needs it.

Mango can also be a bit reactive in her kennel, likely due to the stress of being in a busy shelter environment.

However, they believe she’ll relax a lot more once she’s in a quieter, more settled home.

Since she is the KIX Critter of the week her adoption fee is only $25.00!!

The List for Monday, February 24th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It's only been two weeks since Taylor Swift got booed at the Super Bowl, and she's still feeling the effects. She's lost over 144,200 Instagram followers.  She probably hardly cares or even notices. The same can't be said for Travis Kelce though.  He GAINED over 12,370 followers.  But none of those followers are Taylor.  She doesn't follow anybody, and he doesn't follow her...

Dierks Bentley says Kenny Chesney ruined him when it comes to drinking. Everything Nash quotes him as saying, “Before Chesney, it was whiskey, and then Kenny turned me on to Red Bull and Malibu. Ugh! I’d never had Red Bull in my life before I met Kenny Chesney. It’s like a dog whistle,”    “Kenny ruined me; once you have one taste of that, it gets you right ready to go on stage.”

Paris Hilton hosted a star-studded 44th birthday bash at her Beverly Hills mansion with guests like Snoop Dogg, Sofia Vergara and Jessica Alba. The party was filled with glitz, glamour, and viral moments…
