1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that just created the first AI

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: birthday clown called Chuckles v two point one Dash seven.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Oh sounds fun.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: He is.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: He has plenty of party games for the kids, like

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Guess that password and pin the decimal on the algorithm.

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Hours of data driven fun with Laser Stories. It's a

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: segment where we read weird news stories around the globe,

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: Those other binary bozos just don't. His first laser story

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: is out of Fort Washington, Maryland. Scratch that it's out

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: of Montreal.

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, really switched it up on you, Joe.

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: A man named Dustin Hamlet is fighting a parking ticket

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: that his daughter got in front of their home on

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: April first. Good for you, and it's so bad it

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: should be in April Fool's Day prank. Early in the morning,

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: the city installed signage for a brand new bus stop

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: in front of Dustin's house. Oh god, the sign is

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: actually on his front lawn and the crew finished up

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: at about seven to fifty five am.

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: So they were there that early too doing the work.

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: And then just ten minutes later, parking enforcement came by

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: gave his daughter a ticket for her car blocking the

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: bus stop.

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: Put the bus stop after the car was parked there.

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, messed up.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Like I said, her car was there overnight, before the

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: bus stop even existed, and Dustin says he was given

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: no advance warning about it, so there's no way he

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: could have known.

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: Oh that's awful.

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: Miraculously the city agrees with him.

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, okay.

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: But sadly they say, unfortunately, the ticket will not be reversed.

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: But we agree with you. We messed up, are bad,

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: but you still.

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Get to pay because according to their rules, once a

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: ticket is written, there's nothing they can can do.

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: Hit the paper and it's permanent at that point.

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: It is the dumbest thing.

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the law, Brooke. Oh you hate the law.

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: I do.

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Okay, you go protest.

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: So Dustin is contesting this madness, but he's annoyed that

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: he has to spend his time and energy on something

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: so stupid. We will keep you updated on the story

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: as it progresses.

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: And for you, Dustin, I stand behind you.

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: Get that part of your ticket.

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: This next laser story, this one is out of Fort Washington, Maryland.

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: No, who knows what is he gonna say next?

53
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to say.

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Forty three year old Tanya Comstock was driving on the

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: freeway and her gas tank was almost on empty.

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the club man, We've all played that game.

57
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: So she pulled off and went to the nearest seven

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: to eleven to fuel up, and while she was pumping,

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: she saw the big signs in the window calling out

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: to her play the lottery. Hardly ever plays, but she

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: thought why not. She's never been to this gas station,

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and so she figured once she was done, she'd go

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: inside and play a game called the Pick five on.

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: Isn't that the one you like?

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: Osea, Yeah, remember I only know it because of you.

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's like you don't have to hit six, you

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: only have to hit five, so you have way higher chances.

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 5: Jack ponds are like usually half a million to a few.

69
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: Million, right, So the question is what numbers would she use?

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: She had no idea and just stood there thinking about it,

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: thinking like, should I have used my family's birthdays?

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: Do I have any lucky numbers? Finally, she thought.

73
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Ah, forget it, So she's just going to get back

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: in her car and drive off.

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: Oh that is.

76
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: As soon as she sat down behind the steering wheel

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and started up the motor she saw something. What the

78
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: last five numbers of her vehicle's odometer.

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh those numbers I'll use.

80
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: That counts the miles for how far your car is gone.

81
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: You explaining, don't count.

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: Some people don't know.

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: So she then flung open her car door, immediately sprinted inside,

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: and tried her luck with the five numbers from her

85
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: car and ended up winning one hundred thousand dollars.

86
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: The time I pay attention to the odometers when it

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: accidentally gets all the numbers the same, it's a thousand.

88
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you keep a car for that long?

89
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: You don't.

90
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Oh god, Tanya was traded in. Yes, to be new.

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: I didn't know that more than three numbers could happen.

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: That's I'm just telling you.

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Tanya was quoted as saying she was shook and immediately

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: called her dad. She plans to use the money to

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: pay off bills and her car, while also sharing some

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: with her father in gratitude for his support over the years.

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: He was the one that taught her gambling is the

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: way to success.

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: Now, let's check that money after the taxes.

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: It's like twenty thousand efforts.

101
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: It's not planning too much.

102
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: This next clizer story is out of penmanship, Park, I

103
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: think I've.

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: Ever been here.

105
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff has great he lives here.

106
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: It makes sense.

107
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: This past Saturday was National Handmade Day, which celebrates the

108
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: effort and dedication to artistry and crafts and just the

109
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: special personal touch of creating something by hand.

110
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, as he was having a field day apparel and.

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: I could never do this. Well.

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine anybody not appreciating a handwritten letter,

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: and yet you're far more likely to get a DM

115
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: on social media or a thumbs up emoji text, which

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: is why a recent poll asked when did you last

117
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: write a handwritten personal letter? Of people say they've written

118
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: one in the past month, which was the most recent

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: option to choose from.

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: Okay, we still get him from my father in law.

121
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: He sends one a month to us.

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, is it the same one?

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: But we don't write him back.

124
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: It is like, I swear you guys aren't responding to me.

125
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: Are you hearing? Every One is like, yeah, are you

126
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: still at this address? We just call them Okay.

127
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Another twenty one percent say they've written one in the

128
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: past year, and another twenty six percent say they're pretty

129
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: sure they've written one in the past decade.

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: Maybe, yeah, I feel like it might have been required

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: for school at something.

132
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I did that.

133
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: My dad wrote me one when I visited recently, and

134
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: he literally went to the store at seven in the

135
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 5: morning and he wrote a note that was like, I've

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 5: gone through the store and if you wake up seven

137
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: thirty five am. I woke up at ten am. Guys.

138
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna be fine.

139
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: That's not really a letter though.

140
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: That's like a little sticky note that you put on

141
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: the that it does. I don't have jo right in

142
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: the heart.

143
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: A letter.

144
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm sorry if that isn't crazy enough.

145
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Twenty percent of gen Zers between the ages eighteen and

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven say they have never written a personal letter

147
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: in their entire life, and that was also the most

148
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: popular answer.

149
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: I had to write my niece is a letter years ago,

150
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: and I was like, I don't remember how to do this,

151
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: Like it's like talking to yourself and nobody owns envelopes

152
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: or stay ups what It's adorable.

153
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: Because you know you went out and got it. Write

154
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: a note for an X like a girlfriend.

155
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I was writing him for an ex, probably because she

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: was getting too many handwritten letters from you hostand too

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: personal scared her away. This guy he doesn't write any

158
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: personal letters. No, no, he speaks from a different part.

159
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: Of his body. I can't write with that heart.

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can send this wherever he wants. That sound

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: means Laser Stories has come to an end for the day.
