Here’s What Went Down at the ACM Awards: Is Lainey Wilson the New Queen of Country?

2024-05-17T13:14:08-05:00May 17th, 2024|Categories: KARL|

The ACM Awards went down last night and it was a blast.  Also, it finished in around two-hours, which should be the length of all awards shows moving forward.  (We're looking at you Oscars.)  Reba did a great job as host, and the Bobby Bones backstage interviews were an awesome touch. The performances were killer, too.  Lainey Wilson opened the show by singing "God Bless Texas" which everyone loved.  Chris Stapleton surprised everyone by bringing out Dua Lipa to sing with him.  And the Toby Keith intro by Blake Shelton, and song by Jason Aldean, was a really nice tribute. One of the stranger moments of the night was when Kane Brown chose to sing "Georgia on My Mind" . . . [...]

Whose Fault Is This? Parents Were Outraged By a Small Business’ Abysmal (But Free) “Bluey” Event

2024-05-17T13:13:07-05:00May 17th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

There's been a trend of eviscerating scam, money-grubbing events online . . . stuff like the Fyre Festival, and whatever that "Willy Wonka" thing was supposed to be.  But THIS seems like a stretch. There's a small business called Dirt Dog, and a location in Vegas was holding a "Bluey" event last weekend.  It was meant to be a fun family day, with costumed characters . . . face painting . . . games . . . and special treats. It was free, and open to the public.  They were expecting a few dozen regulars and locals . . . but it went VIRAL and THOUSANDS of [...]

What Flavor Is McDonald’s New “Grandma McFlurry”?

2024-05-17T13:10:07-05:00May 17th, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Teenagers are dressing like grandparents now, with their tube socks and high-waisted pants.  So maybe this'll be a hit . . . McDonald's announced a new menu item landing next Tuesday called the "Grandma McFlurry".  (???) It's vanilla soft serve with crunchy bits of candy and a new flavored syrup.  They say it tastes like "like Grandma's favorite treat that she hid in her purse." They haven't revealed exactly what the flavor is.  But people online are claiming it's caramel and butterscotch . . . and tastes like a Werther's Original.  (CNN) (Here's a photo and a video of people who got to try it early.)

A Study Says Men Are More Likely to Be Friends . . . If They Do Not Share the Same Taste in Women

2024-05-17T13:08:54-05:00May 17th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Men:  Think about your closest male buddies.  Now think about their significant others.  Are they attractive?  Or . . . well, uh . . . "not your type." A study found that men are more likely to be friends . . . if they do NOT share the same taste in women.  (Maybe they're just more likely to REMAIN friends.) It was a fairly small-scale study, where 38 heterosexuals . . . half men and half women . . . were asked about the traits they preferred in a potential mate.  Then they were shown photos of 20 members of the opposite [...]

Do You Agree With These “Controversial” Food Opinions?!?

2024-05-17T11:18:52-05:00May 17th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

What's the last surprising food-related hot-take you've heard?  Maybe:  Instant ramen is delicious dry . . . it's better crunchy.  (???)  Someone conducted a poll online, asking people what they think of 21 "controversial food opinions."   But they probably didn't go extreme enough, because after amassing around 20,000 votes, more than 50% of people AGREED with half of them . . . and ALL of them found acceptance with at least 1 in 4 people.   Here are these "controversial" takes, from the LEAST divisive to the MOST controversial: (And hey look kids, adults actually do like Brussels sprouts.)   1.  [...]

The New iPhone Update Is Resurrecting People’s Deleted Nudes?

2024-05-16T12:23:51-05:00May 16th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK|

 What's the WORST-possible glitch you can imagine a phone having?  I bet THIS ONE is worse than that. A few people online are claiming that Apple's new iPhone update has RESURRECTED their old, deleted nudes.  People say photos that they deleted years ago, are suddenly back . . . and some are at the top of their galleries. It's not JUST nudes, of course.  But those WOULD be the most noticeable. Apple hasn't commented . . . and with tech things like this, it can be hard to separate YOU-problems from EVERYONE-problems. And adding to the confusion is that different people [...]

Zach Bryan and His Girlfriend Were Involved in a “Traumatizing” Car Crash

2024-05-16T12:21:12-05:00May 16th, 2024|Categories: KARL|

Zach Bryan and his girlfriend were involved in an accident the other night, and she's still shaken.  Podcaster Brianna Chickenfry . . . whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia . . . talked about it on TikTok. She called it, quote, "a traumatizing side-by-side car crash," and added that their car flipped several times and "everything shattered."  Luckily, they were wearing their seatbelts, or she claims they both would have been DECAPITATED. Zach did suffer some kind of injury that required stiches, and Brianna says she's still finding more bruises and scrapes and that she's pulled glass out of her cheek.  (Page Six) (WARNING:  [...]

Google Will Use A.I. to Detect Scams . . . During Calls?

2024-05-16T12:20:22-05:00May 16th, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KMHL|

 We're one step away from Google being able to let you know when to BAIL on that phone call with your mother-in-law. Google is developing an A.I.-powered scam detection feature for Android.  It works like this:  Gemini Nano . . . a local, offline A.I. model . . . will monitor calls from unknown numbers, and notify you of RED FLAGS. The system listens for "conversation patterns commonly associated with scams" in real time . . . and will alert you NOT to provide any sensitive information on this call.  It can even advise you to hang up. It'll be an [...]
