1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that was almost a billionaire. Wow,

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: he's back in nineteen ninety seven. He actually invented Google,

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: but he only did it.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: With one oh, so it was Google.

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Nobody even knew what that meant, so Google Gongle would

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: be two genes, so ended up with nothing.

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: See even cause confusion.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Today we all know what Google is all.

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: It's laser Stories, a segment where to read weird.

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: News stories around the globe, just like everyone else does.

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: He said, we've got a laser. There's other googie nubies.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: Just dumb.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Michigan. Police responded

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: to a burglary alarm the other day when forty two

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: year olds Cody Bellamy tried to break into a former prison.

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Yes you heard that correctly, not out.

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: He attempted to break into a non operational prison.

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Wait, there's nobody even in there.

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: I felt like maybe he was looking for a buddy.

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Or a former lover.

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: That was a closed down prison. So police showed up

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: and found out what the deal was. Turns out Cody

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: was actually going to be incarcerated the next day, so

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: he thought he'd get his sentence started early by checking

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: in a day before.

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: I overachiever that Cody always been yes, smart.

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: And that's when officers told him that's not how it works,

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: and he was at the.

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Wrong prison anyway.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: The one that he broke into was the Standish Correctional Facility,

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: which closed way back in two thousand and nine.

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: To not tell, He's like, this was easy to get into.

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: They also found that he'd driven a twenty fifteen Lexus

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: to the prison, and when the police looked inside they

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: found stolen jewelry, cash, burglary tools, and an unregistered firearmy.

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: Nobody got to.

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Like, you're going to jail anyway, you know, you might

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: as well get a couple things in.

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Well. Yeah. When officers asked what was the plan with

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: all that, he said he was going to park his

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: car in the prison parking lot for three years and

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: then drive off with all of his stuff when he

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: got outs.

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: Stupid question. Cops obviously that.

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 3: The typical parking policy in a prison.

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: I would assume, So yeah, could just lock her door

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: so nobody breaks in. Cody was then arrested and hit

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: with four new charges, including breaking and entering and possession

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: of burglary tools.

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: They take him to his next sentences.

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, public transit.

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

53
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: This next laser stories out of Illinois, a mom woke

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night because her baby

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: was crying, so after soothing the child, she tucked him

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,160

00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: joy is screaming and yellows.

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,959

00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: the cost of raising them.

00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: the air up there. I hope it's up there.

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: When you think of first class, the last airline that

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: comes to mind is Frontier Airlines. Yeah, first class no

90
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: offense to Frontier, but they're trying to change that with

91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: their newest perk. What and while you still won't be

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: able to get business class or even a free bag

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: of peanuts during the flight, they are going to give

94
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: you the option that other airlines are not offering plane

95
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: not that five minutes.

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: I actually feel like Frontier would be cool with that.

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: Here's what they're doing from now on.

98
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: When you fly Frontier, whether you sit on an aisle

99
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: or on the window, you're able to buy the.

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: Middle seat to That's so cool.

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: It's all part of their new Upfront Plus seats, And

102
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: if you're sitting in the first two rows, you'll be

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: able to throw down an extra forty nine bucks to

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: ensure nobody sits in the middle seat next to you.

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 3: When they cancel my flight the day of, I'm losing

106
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: double the money. Now, yeah, that is how it works.

107
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this will all today good for like plus

108
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: size people too.

109
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: So when you sit down, do you have to let

110
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: the other person know like, hey, I paid for this,

111
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: Like that's an awkward there's.

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: A sign that's like this is not your seat. I

113
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: think you should fight to the death over the Okay,

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: that's the frontier way.

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

116
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: The CEO says they realize many consumers strongly prefer a

117
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: seating option that offers extra space when flying. Yeah, that's

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the it's the leaning back in the leg room is

119
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: what I want. This gives you the option of extra

120
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: leg room and exclusive use of that arm rests. And

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: right now it's just a pilot program, meaning they're just

122
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: trying it out. The upfront Plus seating will be available

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: on flights from April ten through April thirtieth, and if

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: it's successful, they might make it a permanent upgrade option. Okay, well,

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: now you can tell people you're flying first class and

126
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: just done.

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's next.

128
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: The stories out of hospitality one O one has a

129
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: waiter or waitress ever drawn a smiley face on your receipt?

130
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: Yes, like they think we're so dumb. The fake cheer

131
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: will make us tip more. I know it works for me.

132
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: It's nice of them. Yeah, I'm like, oh, they like me.

133
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: It turns out they might actually be right.

134
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, because a new study in the Journal of Hospitality

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Management found people actually do tip more if they see

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: a smiley face on their receipt.

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 3: Humans are so simple, we all want joy. Okay.

138
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: So they printed different tip suggestions on people's receipts. Yeah,

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: like fifteen, twenty or twenty five percent, and then each

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: one had a different emoji right next to it. So

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: they basically wanted to see if the emojis would shame

142
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: people to tipping more.

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: Oh, that's kind of messed up. I thought you meant

144
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: like the server was writing it. Well, this was the study.

145
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay.

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: So the lowest percentage had a neutral face, the rest

147
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: had smiley faces where the smile got bigger and bigger

148
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: as the tip percentage went up.

149
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: The highest tip looked like it was just on drugs. Well.

150
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: The result was an eleven percent overall increase in tips.

151
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: They also tried it with delivery orders and saw a

152
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: ten percent bump, and takeout orders saw the biggest boost

153
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: thirty three percent bigger tips. Think it's that human connection,

154
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Like you don't ever see the to go person, but

155
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: if they actually were like, have a nice day, smiley face,

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: I'd be.

157
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: Like, well, what a great person.

158
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: Or if the smiley face was even next to the

159
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: tip suggestion and it just said, oh, they will smile

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: if I give them that.

161
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520
