California Might Ban the Airport Line Skipping Feature “Clear”

Courtney Vroman2024-04-23T14:11:00-05:00April 23rd, 2024|Categories: KMHL|

Do you pay for the "Clear" feature that lets you skip the line at airports? If so, don't be surprised if people start SHAMING you for it soon. Two state senators in California just introduced a bill to BAN Clear from airports in the state. Their argument is it's just letting wealthier people pay to cut the line. (And, yeah . . . that's pretty much right.) When you sign up, Clear records your biomarkers, like fingerprints and eye scans. Then for $189 a year, you get to skip the first part of the TSA line.

Some places don't accept American Express . . . some don't accept cash . . . and THIS PLACE didn't accept METH. A 40-year-old man in Colorado named Eugene Robertson was found guilty of multiple charges . . . including a bizarre interaction at a Burger King in 2022. He'd gone through the drive-thru . . . and offered to pay with a baggie of drugs instead of money. The employee refused, so Eugene pulled a gun on him. He didn't shoot . . . and drove off. Then, he tried pulling a similar stunt at a 7-Eleven across the street. [...]

A Middle Schooler Assaulted Another Kid . . . with a Stanley Cup?

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:11:17-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

There was a time a few months back, when people thought so highly of Stanley mugs, that some people were wondering whether it would make them less valuable to take them out of the packaging. Now, they're weapons. A 13-year-old middle school student in Pennsylvania has been accused of launching an unprovoked attack against a classmate last week . . . violently hitting a 12-year-old girl in the head "with a large Stanley cup," several times. It was so vicious that the girl was "visibly bleeding." She was taken to the hospital, and thankfully she's expected to be okay. The attacker, [...]

John Travolta Got His Role in “Pulp Fiction” Because He Did Quentin Tarantino’s Finances

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:10:36-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

During a 30th anniversary screening of "Pulp Fiction" last week, John Travolta revealed how he snagged the role of Vincent Vega. Tarantino was a huge fan, and he reached out to John's agent and arranged a meeting. So John went to Quentin's apartment . . . which, coincidentally, used to be John's apartment back in the day. They spent almost 24 hours together. The first thing they did was play John Travolta BOARD GAMES. Seriously, Tarantino had the board game versions of "Saturday Night Fever", "Welcome Back Kotter", and "Grease". And during each game, Quentin wanted John to randomly throw out lines his character would have said. (???) After [...]

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:09:51-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KMHL|

Kevin Bacon visited the high school from "Footloose" 40 years later. It's called Payson High School and it's in Utah. Kevin says, quote, "40 years, that just blows my mind. Things look a little different around here, I'd say the thing that looks the most different is me . . . It's amazing the power this movie has had to just kind of bring people together . . . "And connect on the basic ideas there are behind the movie, standing up to authority sometimes, being forgiving to people who are not exactly the same as you, and standing up for your own freedoms [...]

Kelsea Ballerini Is Trying to Stop a Former Fan from Leaking Her Unreleased Music

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:09:11-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARL|

Kelsea Ballerini is seeking a restraining order against a former fan named Bo Ewing, who allegedly obtained unreleased masters and demos of music she's still working on. Kelsea says the guy has already shared it with "multiple parties," and she's trying to stop the leak from getting out of hand. Apparently, this guy was a former member of Kelsea's fan club who has, quote, "become disenfranchised." Kelsea's rep says, quote, "Artists spend countless hours perfecting their craft and telling their stories through their music. Stealing and sharing unfinished music is illegal and harms the integrity of the creative process." (The Boot)

Morgan Wallen Breaks His Chair-Throwing Silence

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:08:12-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARL|

Ever since the great Nashville chair-throw of 2024, no one has heard anything from Morgan Wallen . . . until this past Friday night. Morgan finally tweeted out and accepted responsibility for his actions. He said, "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility." Then he followed it up with, "I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be [...]

It’s On Again!!! Between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:06:19-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KKCK|

Taylor Swift didn't just release an album on Friday. She released a DOUBLE ALBUM. "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology" features 15 extra songs. One of those songs is called "thanK you aIMee", and it's a Kim Kardashian DISS TRACK. Yes, like so many things in her life, she just can't let this go. The title itself is a tip-off, since the only letters than are capitalized are the "K", "I", and "M", and they appear in that order. Also, on Apple Music, the lyrics are stylized the same way. Like the line, "Screamed '[eff] you, aIMee' to the night sky, as the blood was gushin'." Once again, [...]

Restaurant Etiquette: Half of America Would Ask to Be Seated Near an Outlet to Plug in Their Phone?

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:05:38-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Some of us don't think people should have their phones out while eating. But others think it's fine to have them out on the table, charging, at a restaurant? There's a big new survey out on acceptable and unacceptable behaviors at restaurants . . . and some of the results are surprising. Here are the highlights, ranked from most- to least-acceptable behaviors. 1. Asking for a to-go container to take leftovers home. 93% say that's acceptable, 3% say it's unacceptable. 2. Sending back a dish that wasn't made as specified. 84% say that's acceptable, 7% say it's not. 3. [...]

12% of People Have Had Their Mouths “Washed Out with Soap”

Courtney Vroman2024-04-22T16:04:53-05:00April 22nd, 2024|Categories: KMHL|

Most people have PROBABLY heard parents say, "Watch your mouth, or I'll wash it out with soap." But is it just an idle threat these days? A poll asked people if they've ever actually had their parents follow through with washing their mouth out with soap, and about 12% of people said YES. They didn't break it down by age, but from the comments, it sounds like it's more of an old-school thing that isn't done as much anymore. (Maybe because not everyone even has BARS of soap these days. It seems even worse to pour fancy, Bath & Body Works liquid soap [...]
