1 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's bringing fashion to the ski 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: slopes with new stiletto high heeled ski boots. So now 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: you could shred some powder and show off your calf 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: muscles at the same time. Wow, only do it with 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: laser stories, the segment where we read weird news stories 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: got a laser. Those other glow ups from the snow 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: up just don't. This first laser story is out of Ohio. 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: Thirty six year old guy named Wasser Sandalson walked into 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: his local bank recently and asked if he could make 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: a deposit all right, and there was quite a line, 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: so one of the supervisors told him he could use 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: the drive through atm and it would work just the same. 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: But he was already there, but the line was too long. 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: Oh oh, told him before he got to the counter. 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: I imagine him waiting in line at the end line 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 1: finally being told actually getting that would be a real 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: slap in the face. But Wasser went and got onto 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: his car, pulled around to the drive through and was 20 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: using the bank's air tube system. Oh they're so cool, 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I know they are fun. They included a few checks 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: and then maybe accidentally dropped a small baggie of meth 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: in the canister as well, just put down in my 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: safety deposit box for me. Yeah. Well, of course the 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: bank called it in and cops showed up. Man and 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: the bankers just aren't cool and to share. Officers tracked 27 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: Wasser down, who completely denied it was him with the drugs. 28 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely the tube. Then they went and searched his car 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: and found more mess. What a coincidence that was given 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: away free like the dumb dubs. Whole worlds against him. 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: No word yet on the exact charges he's facing. Wasser 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: blames the confusing tube system for his incarceration. That's it. 33 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: But he didn't rob the bank, so yeah, he gave 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: exactly yeah justice. Where's the justice in this world? This 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: next laser story is out of Europe. Who While there's 36 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: droughts all over the world thanks to global warming, the 37 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: small country of Latvia is experiencing a very different kind. 38 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: They have an official man drought. Oh no move, we 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: get out and out. For some reason, the Baltic nation 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: officially has sixteen percent more women than men currently, a 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: gap more than three times any other European country. Wow. 42 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Nice ratio half of our list of the audiences. They 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: can move there, Alexis. I know. I did start to 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: think that after I'm like, wait, maybe they live there, 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: take visits somewhere else. Yeah. Well, the ladies in Latvia 46 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: have come up with a solution. It's called hourly rental husbands, 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: not one you have to keep your whole life. Hey, interesting, 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: so you're interested, brook, Okay, let's I'll tell you more. Then. 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: The services have exploded across the region, with companies promising 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: to send over quote men with golden hands. No, no, no, 51 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: it's none of none of that stuff broke a Latvian website, 52 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: so I know you're googling right away. This is a 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: fancy way to say a handy man, man with golden hands. 54 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: We will show up to fix leaky pipes, mount your TVs, 55 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: or do other chores for you around the house. Them 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: five times to do it. That's sweet. That's actually true 57 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: because another service takes the concept even further by explicitly 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: renting husbands, where customers book online or by phone, and 59 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: within an hour, a random man appears at your door. 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: Not to flirt, not to argue about weekend plans. They're 61 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: simply there. To paint your walls, fix the curtains, whatever 62 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: you need. They will do it immediately, which will turn 63 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: the women more than them actually trying to hit on 64 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: the women. It's not you're not Did you just take 65 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: the garbage out? Yeah? Leave me alone. I'm doing my job. 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: So could it come to America soon depends on the 67 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: ladies interests. I don't know. I feel like, Jeff, you'd 68 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: be ready to husband to do all this work for 69 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: your Yeah, tell mean this next leisure story is out 70 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: of the Holly high note hall. Mariah Carey's recorded hundreds 71 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: and hundreds of songs across her career, but she could 72 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: have basically retired comfortably if she only ever released one 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: song and yep, it's that one. This is maybe the 74 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: year that I've tapped out of this song. It's the 75 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: first year. I'm like, Yeah, I haven't listened to it 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: from beginning to end. Yet you might be one of 77 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: the only people brooke, because, according to a recent financial publication, 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Mariah rakes in more than two point five million dollars 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: in royalties every single year from the song. Yeah. But 80 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: have you seen her lifestyle that affords like one of 81 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: her dog's houses help for a month. Yeah, and it 82 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: is a little ironic since the song is supposed to 83 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: be about somebody not caring about materialistic aspect of the 84 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: holidays as long as they can be with their partner, 85 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: but still makes a ton of dough. Yeah, and Mariah 86 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: isn't the only one making bank off it. All I 87 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: Want for Christmas was co written by a music producer 88 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: named Walter Afanasy. Now let's go Walt. He did a 89 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: lot of work with Maria in the nineties, and even 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: though he hasn't really done much since, he has a 91 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: net worth of over one hundred million dollars because his lifestyle, 92 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: Christmas is another mansion. Interestingly enough, the song is not 93 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: fading into obscurity. It's actually becoming more popular. Hit number 94 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: one on the Billboard Hot one hundred for the first 95 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: time back in twenty nineteen, but it's returned to the 96 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: top spot every year since, which is a six year streak. 97 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: It's so old. I always like Christmas music, but I 98 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: don't like go for that one. I mean, Jeff just 99 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: did a parody to it. What it's iconic? Yeah, you're welcome, Mariah. 100 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Will it go to number one in twenty twenty five? 101 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: I guess we'll have to wait and find out. This 102 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: final laser story is out of Holiday headquarters. Are you 103 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: putting up a tree? This year? The New Pole found 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: most Americans will have a Christmas tree in their home, 105 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: and a surprising number of us will have two or more. Oh, 106 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: if I had a bigger house, I would totally you 107 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: would have more than one. I feel like you'd really 108 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: leave them up all year long. Yeah. Fourteen percent overall, 109 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: or one in seven people will have at least two 110 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: trees in their place. That includes two percent who said 111 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: more than three. Downet, do you do a Christmas tree 112 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: or do you not? I do many Christmas trees. Doesn't 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: necessarily mean you're putting in multiple full size trees. Yeah, 114 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: little tiny cutie, Yeah yeah, maybe got like the big 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: one in the living room, and like me, you put 116 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: a medium one in the sauna. Really? Oh yeah? Now, 117 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. But overall, that number is way up 118 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: from where it was last year. So when you're visiting 119 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: at a friend's house over the holidays, don't be surprised 120 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: to seem green. Yeah. I am seeing way too much 121 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: green right now in front of me, But for some reason, 122 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: I just can't look away. You can never can, No God, 123 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: I like what I'm seeing. It means Laser Stories has 124 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: come to an end for the day. We'll do it again, 125 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: same time on Friday, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
