2024-05-07T14:52:08-05:00May 7th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KMHL|

Loretta Lynn's granddaughter Emmy Russell made the "American Idol" Top 5, and some viewers are NOT excited for her.  There's a growing suspicion that there's a CONSPIRACY afoot, because they think she's not good enough. One person said, quote, "Too many great people have gone home while she's coasted to the top 5."  Another added, quote, "Never thought a fix could happen on 'Idol', but u never know." This comment says what a lot of people are thinking:  "Sorry, but the fact that Emmy Russell made it into the final 5 is based on who she is related to . . . She's talented, but not 'American Idol' level." [...]

2024-05-07T14:48:53-05:00May 7th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK|

There are dog people and there are cat people, but ALL pet owners can agree on one thing:  Dogs are much better on road trips than cats.  (Right?  Does ANYONE enjoy hours in a car with a CAT?) In a new survey of dog owners, 92% of them say they drive with their dogs occasionally.  A lot of that is going to the vet or to a groomer, but not ALL of it. 53% of dog owners will drive their dog to a dog park or a place to go on a walk, and 34% will take their dogs on road trips.

2024-05-07T14:48:01-05:00May 7th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

They say I.Q. scores are falling, and here's more proof:  People online are just eating FULL LEMONS now, peel and all.  (???) The first part of this isn't actually dumb.  You might even want to try these if you can find them . . . Some TikTok'er recently discovered a type of lemon you're SUPPOSED to eat whole.  The brand is Lemon Snack, owned by an Italian company.  They're undersized lemons that are sweeter and less sour, with thinner peels. She's skeptical in the video, but tries one and loves it.  Then she sprinkles on salt and chili powder and loves them even more.  (Here's [...]

Thief Had Elaborate Scheme to Steal and Return Stuffed Animals for Cash?

2024-05-07T14:47:01-05:00May 7th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Sometimes criminals come up with elaborate schemes that are clever . . . and then there's THIS lady. A 39-year-old woman in Pennsylvania was caught in a bizarre scheme where she'd steal from convenience stores, by using a self-checkout and NOT ringing up all the items. For example, she'd scan and pay for a beverage, but steal a couple of sandwiches, which she'd just slip in a bag.  Or she'd pay for two containers of milk, but steal two stuffed animal toys.  Or grab eight bags of "artisan coffee," but only scan four of them, and leave. Then, she'd later come [...]

Morgan Wallen: His Day in Court and His Night in Concert

2024-05-06T13:53:12-05:00May 6th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KKCK|

Morgan Wallen had his day in court this past Friday, but was allowed to skip it.  His attorney was there in his stead.  No plea was entered, and the case was set for another hearing on August 15th. Morgan's lawyer said, "Morgan will be here on August 15th, and several things can happen in the case.  We might have a hearing, we might settle the case, or the case might continue."  So pretty much every option, cool.  It'll be interesting to see what happens in August. His lawyer also dropped this gem, "[Morgan] has done what I think we would expect any good person to [...]

A.I. Is Allowing Randy Travis to Continue His Music Career

2024-05-06T13:52:32-05:00May 6th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KMHL|

It's a little harder to hate on A.I. than it was a week ago . . . Randy Travis's first song in over a decade came out on Friday.  It's called "Where That Came From", and people had been speculating it "came from" A.I.  Now it's been confirmed that's the case, and it's pretty amazing. "CBS Sunday Morning" sat down with him yesterday and did a big segment on how A.I. is letting him continue his career in music. Randy's had trouble talking and singing ever since his near-fatal stroke in 2013.  So with his blessing, his longtime producer helped train an A.I. to copy his [...]

Science Says Watching Sports Is Good for Your Mental Health

2024-05-06T13:51:35-05:00May 6th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KMHL|

Did you waste your whole weekend watching the NBA Playoffs and the Kentucky Derby?  Give yourself a pat on the back for taking such good care of yourself. A new study in Japan found that watching sports boosts our mental health and generally makes us happier human beings. Researchers scanned people's brains while they watched various sports and found it activated the "reward circuits" in their brain, which are linked to feelings of pleasure and happiness. They also found that people who regularly watch a lot of sports have more gray matter in those areas, which suggests it might even change [...]

Bigfoot Costume Forced a School into Lockdown

2024-05-06T13:48:34-05:00May 6th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KKCK, KMHL|

Maybe things were different back in the GOOD OLD DAYS . . . but schools these days have ZERO TOLERANCE for visitors acting creepy, mysterious, and threatening, even if they're just joking around. A school district in Ohio went on lockdown last week, when Bigfoot was spotted walking around the campus . . . and running past the classroom windows. The sasquatch wasn't real, obviously.  They later found out that it was a PARENT who was playing a "prank" on the school.  (???) Some elementary kids were outside at the time, and school officials are being commended for quickly moving them inside [...]

Here's a lesson for single people on the dating scene:  You do NOT have to be attractive to be hot.  Sure, that's, like, 95% of it . . . but there ARE other contributing factors.  (???) People on social media are talking about the unexpected things that make someone "hotter" . . . and it actually makes me feel a little better about humanity.  Here are some highlights: 1.  The ability to be silly, or have fun with a dumb joke. 2.  They don't have to actually enjoy all of your favorite movies and music, but they take your hobbies and favorites [...]
