Speaker 1: like everyone else does, except we've got a laser.

Speaker 2: There's other feedawinis, just don't Oh, I.

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Thought you're gonna go with Nama pasta.

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Yes, that's good. This first laser story is out of France.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Fifty nine year old Lauren van Wassenhoven was hired in

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three by a French telecom company as a

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: human resource specialist.

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: Yeah she sounds like a boring job, but people need

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: to do it. Yeah, good for you.

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Well, due to some health issues, though, she was instead

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: offered a secretarial position and her employer adapted her workplace

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: to suit her needs.

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome.

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: I hear stuff like that.

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure until two thousand and two, when the

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: company got purchased and new managers put her on standby,

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: meaning they paid her still full salary but didn't give

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: her any actual work.

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: Okay, like none at all, even like Yeah.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Some French telecom company.

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: But a little while later she was told that she

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't even have to come into the office anymore. And

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: for the last decade she has collected paychecks and literally

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: didn't even have to show up for work.

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: Better than winning the lottery because then you get health insurance.

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well it might sound like a dream, Lauren

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: says it was a total nightmare because she felt like

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: a complete outcast and was treated like she didn't even exist.

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: That's what we've always dreamed our company to do for us.

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Now, if you can believe it, she's demanding to come

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: back and work, and she is going to four's her

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: way in by suing the company's.

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: Office and instantly regret her decision.

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: Watch they settle out of court. She gets one one

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: sum and she's like, no, I wanted to go back.

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you don't know what you're missing.

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Before she arrives, she has asked for an undisclosed sum

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: of money from her employer and a full time office job.

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: Don't want that.

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: She even told the courts that being paid for not

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: working was literally the most difficult thing in the entire world.

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can't with this girl honestly took

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: your headphones off.

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, stormed out of the studio because of that.

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: So two weeks later she's like, guys, I think you're

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: overpaying me.

52
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: His next Lazer story is out of London.

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Forty one year old Matt Barr has been in the

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: news a lot over the last few years because he

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: has a certain body part that has helped him win

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: a dubious worlds record.

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: Oh okay, don't brag an event that we can tell.

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to go in any of the

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: details of what body part or where it is. I'm

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,279
Speaker 1: just gonna say, yeah, I'm just going to say in number.

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Okay, fourteen point four.

62
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: Fighting.

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: The reason the reason Matt is back in the papers

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: is because recently he broke his arm. It was his arm,

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: but he blames it on his world's record situation.

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: No, wa, wait, did he actually trip on it?

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Apparently he was in the shower and couldn't see his

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: own feet, so he stepped somewhere where he shouldn't have.

70
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: He didn't trip on it, he just.

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't see where he was stepping because it was blocking

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: the view and it caused him to slip on some soap.

73
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: Gosh, is he telling you this? Why.

74
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: He told the news outlet, he's frustrated that this happened

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: to him. You should be concerned because any sudden movements

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: can also mess with his balance and make him feel lightheaded.

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: I bet he's really thankful that skinny jeans are out.

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: As for relationships with Matt, he says they're hard.

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: I bet yeah, that would be.

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: No pun intended.

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: He recently told a story about how he was with

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: a woman once and swung his hips too quickly and

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: she ended up with a concussion.

84
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: You don't want to dance with him. They're dancing right,

85
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: knocking her out.

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Weirdest, he just turned too quickly.

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: He wasn't on purpose.

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Plus there's more than a few vacation resorts who've asked

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: him to leave because of his board shorts. We are not.

90
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: Just watch it seems like ten inches. We're not old

91
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: enough or mature enough for this news story.

92
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: We're almost done.

93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Because he is trying, even wearing compression stuff underneath. It's

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: still not helping though. So now there's a photo going

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: around of Matt with his broken arm in a sling.

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: He's in some loose fitting slacks and let's just say

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: nobody's looking at his arm.

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and where's the cab waits?

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: This next Lazer story is out of the TikTok Treehouse.

100
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: The other day, a gen Z woman posted a video

101
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: on her socials of her walking out the door of

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: a hotel and out into the parking lot yeah, with

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: the tagline.

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: Hey boomers, this is how you check out of a hotel.

105
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: You just walk out. I mean, yeah, it's the best

106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: thing ever. Or use your phone, but you.

107
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: Don't even have to.

108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: In the caption, she added, the front desk doesn't need

109
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: you to tell them that you're leaving, and they don't

110
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: need you to hand them your room key.

111
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: The only time I.

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: Do that is when it's like early, if I have

113
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: like a six am flight that way, I'm like, hey,

114
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: I'm already out this room.

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: Someone could check it early.

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: My mom works at a resort, and they think it's

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: helpful because then they can mark that that one's ready

118
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: for cleaning yea, and they can get it cleaned earlier.

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Yes, there is a former housekeeper who says it does

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: make the job a lot easier if you're polite.

121
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: About that, even before check out total.

122
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: But if you're leaving at noon anyway, you just just

123
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: leave otherwise, Like, it's technically true at a lot of

124
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: hotels that you don't need to tell the front desk.

125
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: But some people in the comments are saying that's rude.

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: Because you need to go give goodbye hugs.

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the proper way to leave the four seasons.

128
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: The way are you supposed to just sit on your

129
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: bed and wait for housekeeping. An older travel expert weigh

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: in on the debate and said you should always be

131
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: checking out at the front desk in order to get

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: your receipt and to make sure.

133
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 2: That there weren't any additional charges.

134
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I alt to say, I just left my biggest

135
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: hotel and I purposely checked out on my phone because

136
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: I did.

137
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: Not want to see my room service receipt. Yeah. I

138
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: was like, I know.

139
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: Room service twice, this is gonna suck.

140
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: Let's just check me out. The thing is that may

141
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: be a little bit more of a boomer take on it.

142
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: Because nobody takes paper receipts anymore.

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: A lot of the places we'll leave a receipt at

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: your door, they'll have it digitally sent to you through

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: email or through your app. And finally, someone says, just

146
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: let them know as you're walking out. It takes ten

147
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: seconds max quote. It's a weird thing to feel like

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: a bad.

149
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: As over though, but oh, it's the TikTok video.

150
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, feel like.

151
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: I'm just leaving.

152
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm so cool not telling anybody. It's like an explosion

153
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: as she walks out. But what about when this guy

154
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: checks out.

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Or checks it?

156
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: The front desk says he calls down ahead of time,

157
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: but for some reason, it takes him three whole days

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: to reach the low. I feel like he gets distracted

159
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: with other activities in between. But that now means Laser

160
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll

161
