1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's making bank this holiday by

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: selling pre made snowmen to the rich, because wealthy people

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: don't want to waste time building a snowman from scratch themselves.

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: That's what poor people do.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: It's like artificial trees, but artificial.

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Have a pre constructed faux man ships directly to your home,

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: placed right on the front lawn of your mansion, to

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: let your neighbors know you are better than them. Do

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: it with Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: news stories around the globe, just like everyone else does,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: except we've got a laser. Those are the frost freaks.

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Just know this first laser story is out of Boise.

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: Emily Cloud and her husband own their own wedding venue.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: It's on four acres in a romantic garden setting with gazebos, ponds,

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: big fruit trees. Just an idyllic place to tie the

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: knot that could be featured in any Hallmark movie, right,

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I can picture it, you know. Anyway, Last November, Emily

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: posted a TikTok offering the venue for free to anyone

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: willing to give her Taylor Swift tickets.

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: Much such a good idea, Well, they're so hard to

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: get boy.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: She claims it was quote one hundred percent joke, but

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: somebody took her up on it, and Emily thought about

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: it for a few days and said, Ah, why the

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: heck not so. Jennifer Bowerman and her husband Mike were

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: married at Vintage Rose on October eighth, after giving Emily

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: three of their six tickets to Taylor Swift. Yes for

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: everybody still got to go too, Jennifer says, quote each

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: ticket was three hundred bucks, so we spent about nine

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on a forty five hundred dollars wedding venue.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: Yes, that's great if their first dance wasn't a Taylor Swift.

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Song, I swear Before the wedding, Jennifer and Emily sat

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: side by side at the Taylor Swift show, and in

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: the end, the Bowerman's were extremely grateful and thanked Taylor

35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Swift for it on social media, saying it couldn't be

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: a more perfect way. The way that it's turned out.

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: You know that there is something in the bride that's like, oh,

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: I know, Taylor Showt's gonna show up at my wedding.

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: An the next Lazer stories out of China. A couple

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: in Beijing moved into their apartments six months ago when

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: they noticed something odd. The boyfriend, Ming said, he realized

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: they'd been living there all that time, and neither him

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: nor his girlfriend had paid one water bill. Oh and

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: yet the water was never shut off.

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, okay or something. Yeah, that is.

46
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: Not the case. He was puzzled, so he went to

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: check the apartment's meter, and when they ran the water,

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: the tap reading failed to increase, literally no movement at all.

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: So the gauge, yeah, yeah, like it. Maybe the gauge

50
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: was broken or something.

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: Well, something else was going up, and that was the

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: number on the gray water meter. It clearly increased when

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the taps were turned off on. So the couple called

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: in plumbers, who were stunned to find an extra pipe

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: linking the toilet and the tap water inside that apartment.

56
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: So immediately Ming and his girlfriend got sick to their

57
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: stomachs as they connected the dots because they had been

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: cooking with, showering with, and even drinking toilet water for

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: the last six months. Or are they still alive? I'm

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: sure there's extra minerals and you know, vitamins in the water.

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: The plumbers immediately fixed the pipework and didn't charge the

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: couple who were visibly ill. Ming is now seeking damages

63
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: from the rental agency and demanding all of his rent

64
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: back from the last six months. However, the company says

65
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: they won't give it to him. When he moved in,

66
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: they gave Ming the option to either use drinking water

67
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: or gray water by adjusting valves, and Ming did not

68
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: pick the right one, the gray water. Anyone want gray

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: water through their tap, probably someone who doesn't know what

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: gray water is. So that's what it means. If you're

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: dwarding gray water, go to the doctor again. If you

72
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: own your own water filter, you're like, sure, give me

73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: the gray.

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Get more than a filter on that.

75
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Next Lazer stories out of Holiday Headquarters. Here's a random

76
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: question making its way around the internet. How do you

77
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: eat a candy cane?

78
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: Tasty?

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting?

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Okay?

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: The National Confectioners Association asked fifteen hundred adults about their

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: candy cane eating technique, and the most popular way to

83
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: eat them is straight end first makes and.

84
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: The bent end is literally meant for holding. You know,

85
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 2: It's like to like hold on to it while.

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: But your tongue fits perfectly inside the little loop.

87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: Though you start with the loop on a big guy.

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: No, you don't even need well, you don't even need

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: your hands. If you start with the loop there, you

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: just latch it onto your tongue. It's a giant. But

91
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of us start by sucking on the

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: straight and twenty eight percent go for the curved den first,

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: and seventeen percent said neither. Oh, they break it down

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: into pieces.

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: It's way better in smaller bits.

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I can say that, Yeah, crumple it up.

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: It's so fun to see, like the plastic edging when

98
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: you finally pull it down again and you've got like

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: a shelf that you've created, you.

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Know what I mean. Or when you're like, oh, I've

101
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: eaten a lot of plastic. I didn't realize. I like

102
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to crush it up and to powder and snort it.

103
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: Seventy three percent of us prefer classic peppermint candy canes,

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent like the other fun flavors, including mac

105
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: and cheese, bacon, hot dogs, pickles, sardine flavored candy canes,

106
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: and even ones that are supposed to taste like possum.

107
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: How would you know? You just trust it, would you?

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are definitely trying that one on the show.

109
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Four Possum flavored candy canes Rush Delivery.

110
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: I think they're made with gray water.

111
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: The first one to finish with or loses. I'm not

112
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: really sure on that one. It's next Lazer Stories out

113
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: of Relationship World going on a date soon? Nope, get

114
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: ready to fork over some cash because the average American

115
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: now thinks a good date should cost one hundred and

116
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: ninety six dollars. That's a nice restaurant.

117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: I was going to say one hundred, but that.

118
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: Was just the average answer, one hundred and ninety six.

119
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: One in eight said at least three hundred dollars, and

120
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: nobody got to what is doing? I mean people going

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: a super nice restaurant or some kind of experience, right,

122
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: like even a sporting event.

123
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that's true, but like a movie

124
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: and a dinner that can't be up that high dinner,

125
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: that's not a good gad.

126
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: They said good dates, bro, that's why the restaurants the

127
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: average guy said two hundred and twenty bucks compared to

128
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: just one hundred and seventy dollars for women. Oh and

129
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: it does add up. People said that they'll spend just

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: over three thousand dollars on dates this year. Then you

131
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: tack on gifts. Guys estimate they spend four hundred and

132
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: thirty dollars on presents annually. Women only spend two hundred

133
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: and seventy two dollars.

134
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: Step it up a little, ladies, That is not my

135
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: husband's love language. I'll tell you that right now.

136
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Experts say there's one surefire way to make dating less expensive.

137
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: Try staying with the same person for a while, because

138
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: around a third of people said dates should get cheaper

139
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: the longer you've been together.

140
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: I start to ask for more. Dude, Wren Buffett said,

141
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: same house, same wife, same car, if you want to

142
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: be rich.

143
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, brings me to this question. Let's say you're into shoes.

144
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: Where do you even take them on dates?

145
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

146
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Well, with the leather factory foot locker. That's well, that's

147
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: where you're gonna find other younger shoes. I want to

148
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: make them jealousy stand at the airport. Okay, when is

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: something going to do a documentary on this man's dating life?

150
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: It is too interesting, Yes, it is. That's how means

151
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Laser Stories has come to an end for the day.

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: We'll do it again, same time on Wednesday.
