Dirty Tricks: Three Bob Fergusons Filed to Run for Governor of Washington

2024-05-14T15:34:16-05:00May 14th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

People are saying this isn't funny.  We'll let you be the judge . . . Washington state's attorney general Bob Ferguson is running for governor as a Democrat.  And the field got a lot more crowded for him this weekend . . . after two MORE Bob Fergusons entered the race.  (???) Two other men named Bob Ferguson filed to run hours before the deadline last Friday, and it was no coincidence.  A Republican operative named Glen Morgan admitted he was behind it and said he was running both campaigns. The idea was to confuse people and split the vote between the three Bobs, so none [...]

Senior Prank + Bagpiper = Comedy

2024-05-14T11:22:41-05:00May 14th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Students at a school in Illinois pulled a senior prank on their principal . . . by hiring a bagpiper to follow him around for an hour.  The principal was a good sport, and even praised the kids for coming up with the idea.   FULL STORY:  Security is so tight at schools across the country that it MUST make senior pranks a big challenge.  But apparently, a BAGPIPE PLAYER isn't suspicious enough to get stopped at the door.   Students at a high school in Illinois pulled a senior prank on their principal, Mr. Robison, last week . . .

To Feel Refreshed, People Need to Spend 67 Minutes Outside Each Day

2024-05-13T14:07:57-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

If your idea of "spending qualty time outside" is walking 100 feet up to a Starbucks, rather than going through a drive-thru . . . there's a reason you don't feel revived every day. According to a new poll, the average American needs to spend 67 MINUTES outside each day in order to feel refreshed.  (Which would be like walking four miles to a Starbucks.) That's easy enough right now . . . when it's getting warmer out, but not TOO hot.  It's a real struggle to get those 67 minutes in when it's January in the Midwest.  Or July in Arizona. [...]

A Dating App Will Have an A.I. Avatar Date Other People’s Avatars to Find You a Match?

2024-05-13T14:00:49-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK|

If you don't trust artificial intelligence NOT to steal your job . . . would you trust A.I. to set you up in an ARRANGED MARRIAGE? Dating apps have streamlined the matching and "meeting" porcess . . . for better or worse . . . and now, A.I. could even go on the dates FOR YOU. The founder of Bumble says it could be possible in the "near future" to have an A.I. "dating concierge" . . . essentially an avatar . . . and that concierge could go on a date with another person's dating concierge. And they wouldn't have [...]

Study Finds: We Learn from Our Mistakes Until We Eventually Stop Trying

2024-05-13T13:55:26-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KMHL|

We teach kids mistakes are a good thing because you get to learn from them . . . until you eventually say SCREW IT and just stop trying. A new study found we do learn from our mistakes, but only to a point.  It specifically looked at mistakes made by surgeons because they have such a high-pressure job. It found that when surgeons make mistakes early in their career, they tend to learn from them and get better.  So then they're less likely to make the mistake again. But over time, messing up a surgery or losing a patient takes its [...]

Millions of Americans Saw the Northern Lights . . . Through Their Phone

2024-05-13T13:54:00-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Millions of Americans got to see the Northern Lights this weekend, at least kind of.  Some saw them the same way your 13-year-old watched Taylor Swift in concert . . . mostly through their phone. The aurora extended way farther south than usual thanks to a huge solar storm.  That's where charged particles from the sun light up as they hit Earth's magnetic field.  It was the strongest since 2003. Even people in Florida were posting photos this weekend.  But some of those shots might be more impressive than what they actually saw in person. It turns out phone cameras are so good now, they [...]

Oprah Regrets Contributing to Diet Culture

2024-05-13T13:53:09-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KKCK|

 Believe it or not, Oprah is NOT infallible.  And she knows it.  During a Weight Watchers livestream last week, she said she regretted participating in toxic diet culture over the years. Quote, "I've been a major contributor to it.  I cannot tell you how many weight loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I've been working in television." One of her biggest regrets was when she brought 67 pounds of animal fat onstage during "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to demonstrate how much weight she'd lost. Quote, "It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet set [...]

Zach Bryan Defended Randy Travis’s New A.I. Song

2024-05-13T13:51:02-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARL|

Randy Travis's new song "Where That Came From" debuted at #45 on the Country Airplay chart, making it his first charting single in almost 20 years.  His last one was "Angels" in 2005. Not everyone's a fan though, and some think it could open the floodgates for A.I. in music.  Randy hasn't been able to sing or talk much since his stroke in 2013, so they used A.I. for the vocals. It sounds like Zach Bryan thinks it's kinda cool though.  He stuck up for it the other day while also taking a shot at critics.  Specifically, artists who don't write their own stuff. Quote, "Some people are [...]

Just Great, Porch Pirates Are Stealing Packages Out of Homeowners’ Hands Now…

2024-05-13T13:50:26-05:00May 13th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Remember when we thought it was brazen to steal a package from someone's porch . . . in broad daylight . . . when the person has a doorbell camera?  Yeah, that's nothing compared to this. A man in Pennsylvania opened his door last Tuesday to pick up a package . . . when a man came running through his yard with his hands up.  He ran up to the porch . . . snatched the box out of the guy's hands . . . and ran off with it. It was day-time . . . there was a security camera [...]
