Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that wanted to give back to

2

Speaker 1: the community by opening an animal shelter dedicated to placing

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: bedbugs in foster homes. Well, nobody wanted to rescue them,

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: and he just got bit everywhere. Maybe a lot better

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: luck next week with ticks.

00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,040

Speaker 1: So I was around the globe just like everyone else does,

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: except we have a laser and those other klumpa lumpas

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: just don't. This first laser story is out of tech town.

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Branden Wollacki is the CEO of a company called Hypersocial

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: that helps companies market themselves on LinkedIn, and recently one

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: of his posts is going viral after he had to

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: lay a few people off.

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: You know it sucks now.

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: He didn't say anything stupid, nor did he yell at anybody,

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: but he went in the complete opposite direction and posted

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: a photo of himself crying about it.

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: Okay, does he feel really bad about it?

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: The guy that still has a job, he feels.

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: His post talks about how it was his fault. He

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: made a bad business decision six months ago.

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: Stuck with it.

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: Too long and that's why they all lost their jobs.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: The post also talks about how he wishes he was

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: more cold hearted and didn't care, but he just does.

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: Guy car weird like he wants sympathy for other people

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: losing their jobs. I'm not I'm not on board.

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Some people seem to think he deserves credit for caring

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: about his employees and being vulnerable about it.

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Others say it's super cringe damn.

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: His critics say posting the crying pick says more about

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: him than his employees. Yeah, and whether he meant it

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: or not, it feels staged.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sad in the phone, it feels very performative.

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: It makes me sad. Take a picture and post everyone,

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: I'm sad.

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: Maybe he could spend his time instead of crying, trying

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: to find those people jobs at other companies. He's that

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: upset about it, do some work for them, get him,

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 3: get him an interview somewhere.

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: Well, which side are you on? Tell us should Brooke

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: post a crying pick?

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Next time producer BOYD gets fired, He's due for another fire.

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: This next Pennsylvania gets you old.

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Forty seven year old woman named Christy Malsey went to

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: a used car lot recently to confront a man that

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: she'd been in a relationship with, and she was very angry.

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: Go off what it sounds like.

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: At one point, she threatened him with a loaded shotgun.

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's not a.

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: Cute look, not gonna want him.

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: He's not gonna want you back, dude, Right. Thanks.

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: The employees were able to remove Christy from the building

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: and lock her out, but she wasn't done wreaking havoc.

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: She went to one of the cars in the lot,

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: and since she's been practicing witchcraft lately, she got out.

59
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: Her spell book and set the car on fire.

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: Oh wait, she was actually able to do that with

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: a spell.

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: Harry Potter.

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: To be clear, she didn't actually cast a spell on it,

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: She just used several pages from the spell book as

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: kindling to ig. Christy was arrested and she's facing charges

66
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: related to reckless burning, terroristic threats, and simple assault. Her

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: bail was set at twenty five thousand dollars and they

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't know handcuffs.

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Cannot keep a wizard in jail? Will she use her

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: powers to get out of jail? Only she has matches.

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Next Laser stories out of Beverage World. Interesting not sure

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: if you've heard of it, but Coca Cola has been

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: unleashing bizarre limited edition flavors under their Creations late Okay,

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: like Coca Cola Starlight, which is a space themed drink

75
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: that's all red and beyond. There's also another one called

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Coca Cola Zero Sugar Bite Bite spelled b y te cool.

77
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: It's supposed to taste like computer pixels.

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a tiny taste to me.

79
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Like dust, a little bit of a crunch in there. Well,

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: the latest one to come out is getting the most press.

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: It's called dream World, which is supposed to taste like

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the Technicolor World of Dreams.

83
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: That gross real quick, depending on whose dreams we're talking about. Yeah,

84
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: I don't want it.

85
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: It tastes like Doritos and spicy beef sticks for oay, exactly.

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: That's such a good.

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Dream But reviewers say this dream inspired drink has a

88
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: tropical fruit flavor, so I think mango and citrus.

89
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're vacation on our dreams?

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: Is that?

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: Cocher Cola says this is their fourth and final Creations

92
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: release of the year, so unclear if they plan to

93
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: continue further down the road.

94
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: Or if this is it, I don't think there's a

95
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: lot of clarity in any of that.

96
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this next Lazer story is out of birthday bash headquarters.

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 2: I think we all agree December babies have it rough.

98
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: Oh oh my gosh.

99
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to say, my poor mom, birthday's Christmas Day.

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: I gotta say January two. Man, everybody's worn out by

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: the time of January birthday comes around. Nobody wants to

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: participate exactly.

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: When your birthday is super close to Christmas, you get

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle. So your parents combine it with

105
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: the holidays, and you end up getting fewer gifts than.

106
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: All the other kids. Yeah's well because of that.

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: One woman's mommy blog post is going viral after she

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: asked if she should start celebrating her son's December birthday

109
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: in June instead.

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: I brought this up to my husband because I have

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: a January baby, and I was like, maybe we should

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: just celebrate his half birthday. Yeah, the real day day,

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: Like I had a June birthday. It was amazing.

114
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you even want to celebrate

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: your kids' birthdays at all is a huge win. She

116
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: says she feels bad for her kid because of all

117
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: the reasons that we just mentioned.

118
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's.

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Also got a sibling with a summer birthday, which makes

120
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: it even worse.

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, way better.

122
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: So she asked if anybody else with a December baby

123
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: has ever done fake birthdays in June, or if that's

124
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: just crazy, just call your half birthday, and the responses

125
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: were mixed. More than a few people called it a

126
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: really dumb idea. One person said that unless her kid's

127
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: birthday is on Christmas, it's unnecessary.

128
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, in said.

129
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: A person who was born in April. I'm sure.

130
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: A few people actually offered solutions, though, One lady said

132
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: they bounce things out by always buying their kids summer stuff,

133
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: like a new bike.

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: For their birthday for the December birthday, Yeah, I did that.

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: I did that, and they can't use it. Yeah exactly.

136
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: They just sits in the rog for five months and

137
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: the excitement is gone by the time you pull it out.

138
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: There's some sunglasses out, but just the anticipation of using it.

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: How long do you think these kids' expressions fans are Jeffrey.

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: Whose fault is that? I don't know?

141
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: You also said they know parents with kids born on

142
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Christmas day and those people always celebrate their half birthday instead,

143
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: which is June twenty fifth. Yeah, which is interesting because

144
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: this guy's birthday lands.

145
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: On the opposite of a leap year. It's called a.

146
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Humpier I see, and I think we all know what

147
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: he gets on his half birthday shoes.

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: That's how means Lazor Stories has come to an end

149
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: for the day. We'll do it again, same time on Monday.
