1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's giving muggers a break with

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: new aroma therapy pepper spray. It blinds the attackers momentarily,

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: but calms their anxiety with a soothing honey lavendercent Take

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: it easy on your assailants with laser stories, the segment

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: where we read weird news stories around the globe, just

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. There's

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: other mace faces, just don't This first laser story is

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: out of Murray Kentucky's forty year old name, Jonathan Mason,

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: as a favorite bar he loves to frequent.

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: It's called the slur Derby.

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: Sounds like they don't pour stiff drinks at all there.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Nope. Anyway, he was there the other night drinking maybe

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: a little too much, so the owner had the bartender

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: throw him out and told him never to return again.

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Been there now, Jonathan wasn't gonna take that. Nobody tells

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: John boy what to do, so he left and came

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: back ten minutes later with a wild raccoon and released

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: it into the bar.

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: A wrangle of raccoon.

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you goat drink enough and then you'll track him down.

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: But that was his fate. He walked outside and he

22
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: saw it and was like, this is meant to be.

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: After that, it was pure insanity. The creature was running

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: around everywhere, screeching loudly, and it actually bits someone too.

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: Nobody was so scared.

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you said off of the person who

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: got bit No about.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: The raccoon, No, bro, they got rabies.

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: The police were called and arrested Jonathan, who they say

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: they're already familiar with. Apparently he's also known by the

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: nickname Cowboy Cody because a year ago he drunk rode

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: a mule into.

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: A liquor store with this guy in random Animals, He's like, drunk,

34
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: snow white.

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: How is this guy not from my hometown? That's what

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: I need to know.

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: In that situation, the mule was taken away by police,

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: and then a few days after that, Jonathan was hammered

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: once again and unsuccessfully tried to retake the mule.

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: So okay, threw a chipmunk at somebody. He got arrested.

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: But speaking of raccoons and criminals, remember Chewy, the meth

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: smoking raccoon from Ohio. Yeah laughing here, Yeah, we covered

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: that story in Lasers a few months back because his

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: owner got pulled over.

45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: The raccoon was in the car with him.

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the raccoon pulled out the meth pipe.

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, right to his mouth. What to do?

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: It was a pet raccoon.

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: His owner, Victoria, has now admitted that she does not

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: have a permit to keep chewy.

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's the update on the story. I thought he's

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: gonna be to the raccoon in the bar or something.

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: I feel like methods and raccoons are running on the

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: same energy.

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: I feel like the raccoons are selling the meth to

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: the methods.

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: It's a big conspiracy. But Victoria still refuses to surrender him.

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: Does Victoria have a choice, Yeah, I mean literally take

59
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: it her away.

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: A meth mind works in mysterious ways. This next laser

61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: story is out of Pennsylvania. A town called Millersburg launched

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: a pothole fixing program called fill My Hole.

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: I love it. So many people showed up. We're like, oh,

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: this is what it is.

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: If you're wondering if they're aware of what they're suggesting.

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: With that name, I'm sure seems like they are.

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: In their announcement they say they're fill my Whole program

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: makes it easy for residents to report potholes electronically so

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: they can be taken care of, and they added, quote

71
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: all holes, no wayed.

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: This is your up of town, Jeffrey.

73
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: It's a dream.

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: And they continued saying some holes may require a little

75
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: more TLC. At least they're aware, but rest assured you'll

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: be provided with a reason if we're unable to fill

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: it ourselves.

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 3: Of course, it's cold down.

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, after they got the job done, they will

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: send you a customer satisfaction email that says, pleased with

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: the way our crew handled your hole.

82
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: We want to hear about it.

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: I want to read the response.

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to and just be like, we got

85
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: bumps now.

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: God. Someone on Facebook ass if we want to fill

87
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: our own holes, is that okay? Or does it need

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to be filled by a professional hole filler?

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: I mean, once you go to a pro hole filler,

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: you'll never go back.

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's basically what they said.

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: They responded, best to leave all holes to the professional.

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: I disagree.

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: I know exactly how to fill my holes.

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: I can get right in there, we can get the efficient.

96
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: I like the way I do it. Just wait till

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: a pro comes along. You'll be changing your will. You've

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: never had a pro Jeff, so that's probably my problem.

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: Talk to me after the show. This next laser story

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: is out of Rate and Slate, HQ. Think back to

101
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 2: the last time.

102
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: You thought about a hotel's front desk. It may have

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: been an yeah, I'm as seen one. It may have

104
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: been in a movie, because they're becoming less and less

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: significant in real life.

106
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's so true. I just get code

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: sent to my phone sometimes for a hotel I check out.

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't even see anybody.

109
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: I just click check out.

110
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeahah, totally because, according to a new report, seventy percent

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: of American travelers are more likely to check themselves into

112
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: a hotel using one of those apps or a self

113
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: service kiosk instead of walking up to a traditional front desk.

114
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: I bet it's impossible to fill the nighttime shift at

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: a front desk. You may it me so hard.

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: That would be hard.

117
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean that's a big number, seventy percent.

118
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this preference skyrockets up to eighty two percent

119
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: among gen Z travelers, like I'm fitting more friends than

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: are allowed in a hotel room, So I'm glad there's

121
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: no one in the front desks.

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hotel front desk. Yeah, those front desk used.

123
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: To be a hospitality feature where you could walk up,

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: have a nice little conversation, maybe sweet talk your way

125
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: into the presidential suite.

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah you weren't staying at the motel six like my family.

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: No, you talk about filling holes to one of those

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: hotel workers upgrade you. But now many people would rather

129
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: interact with an app than wait in a long line

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: at the lobby my room number.

131
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: Before I even got to the city, I was fighting

132
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: to do you remember, like ten years ago we went

133
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: to Vegas and I swear I waited in line for

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: three hours hotel.

135
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: I've done the whole today, yeah, Vegas. Now.

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Of course, completely skipping the front desk isn't an option everywhere,

137
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: but it's probably only a matter of time till that happens.

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it.

139
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: With Airbnb and verbo, I mean, you can rent some

140
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: one's entire house now without ever seeing or speaking to them,

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: And that, to me is beautiful.

142
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: What else is beautiful? This little guy actually, this is

143
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: the sound.

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Of him on the hotel app repeatedly demanding maid service

145
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: to come and clean up his mask. Bet Oh yeah,

146
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: that sound means laser storage has come to an end

147
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: for the day.

148
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: We'll do it again, same time on Wednesday.

149
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
