1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that created a new dating app

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: combining Tinder and yoga called Flexifinder.

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Will your prospective partner look better?

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: And downward Dog, your match is just one deep stretch away.

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: Wait, I can't even bend over.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: It's all thanks the Laser Stories, the segment where we

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: read weird news.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: Stories around the globe, just like everyone else does.

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: Except we've got a laser and those other chakra to

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: a girls, just don't. This first laser story is out

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: of Australia. There's a crazy story that made the news

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: in Melbourne about a guy in a red Porsche that

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: caused a deadly crash, then pulled a gun, shot another

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: guy in the arm, stole an suv and got in

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: another wreck before cops finally arrested him.

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: And that's just a normal day in Texas. Okay, so

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: jealous right now? Jealous? So true.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: But it's going viral, surprisingly, though not for any of

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the details I just mentioned. Wow, it's because of the

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: witnesses who were interviewed about it. Two sisters in their

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: fifties named Bridget and Paula Powers.

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Okay, they are.

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Identical twins, and they told reporters in complete unison about

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: what they saw. I saw this and.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: One guy he was up there with our mom. He

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: went up there and he was coming back down towards

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: us and he goes, run, he's got a gun, and oh,

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: our hearts started to paynd and I said, oh mom,

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: with's mom and poor mam was sucked up there. But

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: apparently our brave mom. She goes, are you all right?

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: Because he had all black his face, and he goes,

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: I'll shoot you.

33
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: She goes, hey, I'm eating to hell. Oh my god.

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: It is.

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: Anything they say that is what my youngest kid does

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: to my oldest kid to annoy.

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: The crap out of them. But they're not doing it.

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Are fifty saying it a little bit? Yeah?

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: If I was a sister that was actually doing the talking,

40
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: I would punch.

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 3: The next to me.

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Shut up. They're sharing the right, let me talk.

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: It turns out this wasn't the first taste of the

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: limelight for these twins. They were Internet famous before this interview,

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: especially in Australia because Piers Morgan spoke to them on

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: Good Morning Britain in twenty sixteen and they told him

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: they do not rehearse this, It's just something they do

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: involuntarily because they've been so close for their entire lives.

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Can you imagine dating one of these women.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, let's talk about that fantasy annoying.

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: I must have saying nice things to you. Then it's

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: like a double compliment. It's like an echo, Yeah, you're handsome, handsome.

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: This next Lazer story is out of grill Talks.

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Last week, Red Robin announced that they were selling bottomless

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Burger passes, which would get you a burger and bottomless

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: side every day of the month of May for only

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty dollars total. Oh wow, along with their bottomless fries

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: on me, I do some damage.

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Well.

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: As expected, they sold out instantly, and even worse, their

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: website crashed. So many people weren't even able to get

62
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: the satisfaction of seeing that they were too late. You suck.

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: You don't want angry burger people.

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Some fans were frustrated and invented on social media. One said,

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I spent literally an hour refreshing for nothing.

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: What incredible incompetence.

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: I feel like admitting that you spent an hour trying

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: to do this and it didn't work.

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: It should not be.

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Something to the public, like just keep that to yourself.

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Another said it was literally easier to get tickets to

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift than it was to get a Red Robin

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Berger pass. Red Robin did apologize for their website going down,

74
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: but also took a moment to hype another sweepstakes coming

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: up that offers free burgers for a year.

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

77
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: Okay, they've posted details about that on their site, which.

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Is back up, but there'll only be twelve winners for it.

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: So that's like Taylor Swift VIP tickets really.

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: Start refreshing your browsers. Now, we love Robin.

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: This next laser story is out of the algorithm lounge.

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: I try to find this place. It's so hard. It's

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: so hard to get into it.

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: You might not know this, but being nice to your

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: chat GPT is actually costing companies millions of dollars.

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: Why I thank you? I was going to say what

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: that guy said? What?

88
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: A Washington Post investigation found that saying please and thank

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: you more than a few times a day to your

90
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence spot uses about ero point one four kilowat

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: hours of electricity. That's about forty six percent of what

92
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: an average US home uses in an hour.

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, so when you're being.

94
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Nice to it, it's actually using up more energy to

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: process so much.

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: Wow, so please and thank you. It costs a lot

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: of money.

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: What about shut up?

99
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Can you write that to it? Is that also that's

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: less it's less energy? Go with that?

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: It can get expensive. But not everyone thinks we should

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: drop the pleasantries. Higher up at Microsoft says that using

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: polite language sets the tone for a professional response.

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: I see, yeah, I've always said please and thank you.

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: As for the numbers, sixty seven percent of Americans say

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: they sweet talk their AI will. Half say they do

107
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: it because it's just the right thing to do, and

108
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: that's why I do it.

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: And twelve percent of people.

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Hope it might spare them In an AI uprising sound way,

111
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: think they're like.

112
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: All right, check the list, is he on the list?

113
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: Take him out? This next sense of shory is out

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: of the people pods.

115
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed that nicknames just aren't as common anymore?

116
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: Even no I give people nicknames.

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Though I finally got a nickname when I was like

118
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty five from a group of friends, and I loved it.

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: It's Panina, right, But that was like thirty years ago. Broke,

120
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying now they're not as common. It made me

121
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: feel so special. A writer for the.

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal claims that they're going extinct. Yeah.

123
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: The writer has five children, age six to eighteen.

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: None of them have been given any nicknames by their pals,

125
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: and none of their friends seem to have one.

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: Even that's the friend's fall. That's how you.

127
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: People, And he claims all types of nicknames are in decline,

128
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: everything from Junior to call in your buddy from Dallas texts.

129
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: A good point.

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: I don't think.

131
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't heard one person called my daughter

132
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: and dog or you know, like what's up a mom

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: would be to the principal's office. Ie, it's like what

134
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: you call nick doggs. Yeah.

135
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: The writer thinks it's kind of sad because nicknames are

136
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: almost always.

137
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: A positive thing, or at least a sign of affection.

138
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: He says, even initials like AJ or j D seems

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: less common now, partly because parents take their names so

140
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: much more seriously than.

141
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: They used to. I also think everybody has such different

142
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: names now.

143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: It's like that years ago you might have called your

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: heavy set friend tiny as a joke, but now you'd

145
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: be more worried about calling attention to anybody's weight.

146
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: There could be something else you could call attention to

147
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: other than there's nothing else to his personality.

148
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Same thing goes for calling someone red because they're a ginger.

149
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: He'ser. Just wanted to play that clip.

150
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Everybody go around the room real quick and say a

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: name they wish was allowed to be said. Alexis goes okay,

152
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: never mind, could have been fun, obviously.

153
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: Nicknames will never fully go extinct.

154
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Plenty of athletes and radio hosts still choose to go

155
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: buy a nickname like jeff Dogwater de Bo and his

156
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: trustee sidekick Humper, nicknames that many predict will someday be

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: memorialized in the Radio Hall of Fame. Dog there's dog

158
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Water to Bou doing his thing, And that sound means

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Laser Stories has come to an end for the day.

160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,800
