A Firefighter Assaulted Another Firefighter . . . While Fighting a Fire?

2024-05-22T11:17:38-05:00May 22nd, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

There's no "good place" to start brawling with a coworker.  But there is a WORST place:  Inside a BURNING BUILDING.   Fire crews in Detroit were called to a burning house at 2:00 A.M. on Saturday morning . . . and the fire wasn't the only drama.   At some point, one of the firefighters on the scene started ASSAULTING one of the other firefighters . . . AS they were in their gear, fighting the fire.  (???)   It was so bad that the chief on the scene had to call the police for help.  They arrived and hauled the problem [...]

Tom Hanks Asked His Rapper Son Chet to Explain the Drake / Kendrick Lamar Beef

2024-05-21T12:26:39-05:00May 21st, 2024|Categories: KKCK|

Tom Hanks might be 67 years old, but he wants to stay plugged into the latest rap beefs.  And it's kind of adorable. Tom actually texted his rapper son Chet Hanks and said this . . . quote, "Big Main, can you explain the Drake / Kendrick Lamar feud to me?"  So yeah, Tom apparently calls his son "Big Main".  (???) Anyway, Chet texted back a quick summary of the beef, ending with Kendrick's recent diss tracks, which he described like this: "Pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we walked in on the basketball [...]

The States with the Worst Drivers . . . Are in Middle America?

2024-05-21T12:24:14-05:00May 21st, 2024|Categories: KARZ, KMHL|

If you've done any driving in the big cities . . . New York, L.A., Chicago . . . you know there are a LOT of lousy, annoying drivers.  But it could be worse:  They could be DEADLY. A new study by Forbes looked at the states with the worst drivers . . . the DANGEROUS ones that have driven recklessly while drunk, drowsy, or distracted, and have been involved in FATAL car accidents. And that's happening more on the wide open roads of Middle America. They crunched all the data, and New Mexico tops the list of states with the [...]

The Hottest New Pool Accessory Is An Underwater Vending Machine?

2024-05-21T12:22:05-05:00May 21st, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

The unofficial start of swimming pool season is Memorial Day weekend, and this year's hottest new pool accessory may be . . . an underwater vending machine. Remember Airheads candy?  They've announced that they've created a "first-of-its-kind 'Underwater Vending Machine' that dispenses Airheads while submerged in a pool," and they're selling a "limited number" of them online. In a hype video, this thing looks so absurd that it's hard to believe it's real. Instead of feeding wet money into it, there's a screen that asks you to do pool tricks to get your candy fix . . . like flips, or pretending [...]

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.  [...]
