1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's making board games more inclusive

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: for seniors, introducing Connect four Pill Edition. I just connected

00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: stories around the globe, just like everyone else does, except

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: we've got a laser. There's other lipatory low lives just don't.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Nashville. A ten

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: year old named Logan had been arguing with his mom

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: after school. They still hadn't left the parking lot from

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: the pickup area, so she told him to just wait

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: in the car while she gave his teacher some paperwork. Okay,

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: And when she got back, the car and Logan were

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: both gone.

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that is not a good sign.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: Heart would drop.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the boy was not abducted. Mom left her keys

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: in the car and Logan really wanted a snack, so

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: he drove himself home.

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: Wait did he crash?

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: He did not crash. No, going to make you feel.

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Bad that this kid can drive and not crash.

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ten years old. He knows what he's doing.

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: So mom called the cops and reported it stolen. Everyone

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: ended up back at the house, Mom, Dad, the police, everyone,

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: and it turned out Logan had managed to drive two

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: miles back home and even parked it perfectly inside their garage. Boy,

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: someone's playing GTA.

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 2: He just does the three sixty and then slides into.

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Luckily for Logan, they decided not to arrest him because

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: he's so young. But Dad was a different story. Yeah,

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: once they got his name, they realized Dad had an

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: outstanding warrant. This kid's in trumble.

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: I thought that the dad was gonna punish him. Get

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: it down.

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Now because his son and drove the car home by himself.

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Dad is facing charges for wire fraud and theft. Dad, like,

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: you got me in trouble, you know, so you probably

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: will be grounded. You're right.

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: Do you listen to your dad when you can't be

40
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: physically in your house?

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Still? I think as a child, you always listen. It's

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: white collar crimes. They're gonna let him stay in the house.

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: This next laser story is out of Holiday Headquarters. It's

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: been forty years since Teddy Ruck's beIN blue children's minds

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: by talking and reading them stories because he was one

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of the very first animatronic bears on the market.

47
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you put a cassette tape in them. Yeah, cutting

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: edge technology to get on.

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Now it's the first year a ton of popular toys

50
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: are gonna have built in AI features. Man, that's concerning

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: For a nonprofit group which released its fortieth annual Trouble

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: in Toyland Report DIKES. So they tested a bunch of

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: toys that use artificial intelligence to have full on conversations

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: with kids, and some of the convos weren't exactly.

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: PG okay or even PG thirteen.

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: They say, quote, we found some of these toys, we'll

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: talk in depth about explicit topics and offer advice on

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: where a child can find matches or knives.

59
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: Awful, do you know what's fun to play with a

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: little bit?

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you acted dismayed when the kids said

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: they had to leave, saying please don't leave me alone,

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and if you do, please sit me next to your

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: mommy's laundrya.

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: I did they like program these AIS by using horror films?

66
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, In other words, there's no way to tell

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: what an AI toy might talk about to your kid,

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: and it might even pressure your child to keep playing

69
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: with them even when they say that they're done.

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: Oh see, I thought the.

71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Ai would be good for like translations, like if it

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: says something, any kid in any country could hear the translation.

73
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the translation of how to say where are the knives?

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: And the languages in the socket.

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just be careful when buying your kid's toys

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: this year. Okay, God, this next laser story is out

77
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: of coffee corner. You can feel better about your twelve

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: dollars blonde espresso machiata with pecan crunch foam because it

79
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: doesn't even come close to the world's most expensive cup

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: of coffee. Oh really, it's being poured in a cafe

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: in Dubai right now, and one cup will set you

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: back nine hundred and eighty dollars. Oh my god, does

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: it come with like a borisa that's going to live

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: in your house? They should, but know the coffee's brewed

85
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: from Panamanian beans that the cafe owner was able to

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: win at an auction. He got forty four pounds of

87
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: them for just over six hundred thousand dollars special Panama.

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

89
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: This feels like Jack and the bean stock.

90
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, your magic.

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

92
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: So if you're wondering what a thousand dollars cup of coffee,

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: isn't it. There's no flavoring or any special cream or

94
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: gold flakes that go on top. It's just a cup

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: of the stuff served black. What You don't even have

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: a coffee art on it. You can't draw art for me.

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they put it in a nice cup.

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Oh, they should charge you extra for that though customers.

99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Customers who've tried it say the brew offer is an

100
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: experience of floral and fruity flavors reminiscent of tea, and

101
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the owner says it's worth every penny because he describes

102
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: the taste like honey, both delicate and sweet. It's like

103
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a cup. Oh, it tastes like heaven.

104
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever tasted of heaven?

105
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: Can you imagine just having it? Well, it kind of

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 2: tastes like Maxwell House.

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: But if you're in Dubai, you can't ask for the

108
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: cheap cup of coffee. That's just a bad look.

109
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: Careful now when you ask for the expensive one.

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're only going to be serving around four hundred

111
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: cups total, So if you want to try it, it's

112
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: get it before it goes. There's only so much there.

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: You better book your flight soon, or you could always

114
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: stick with your state side coffee for the peasants, which

115
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: cost nineteen percent in the last year. So we're getting close.

116
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Going crazy nineteen percent jump.

117
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: I feel good about that. This next laser story is

118
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: out of the Evergreen Emporium. This isn't a new trend.

119
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: It's just crazy how it's changed. If you're putting up

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: a real Christmas tree this year, congratulations, you're one of

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: the few people left in America. Now wait a minute.

122
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I say that because a survey by the American Christmas

123
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: Tree Association found fake trees are now the norm, and

124
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Eighty three percent of people plan

125
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: to put up a tree this year using a plastic one. Aw,

126
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: you suck.

127
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: I want to defend it. But you know, we do

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: a real tree at my parents' house and that's where

129
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: we go home for Christmas. So we got a fake

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: one for our house. Yeah, because I can't leave our

131
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: house and leave a cheetah die too.

132
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. Just seventeen percent, or one in six, are going

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: to buy a real one.

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: I do love getting a permit from the for service

135
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: and you can go out and cut your own real

136
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown. But it's real fun. It's like ten bucks

137
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: for a permit.

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more fun to murder your own tree.

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: Sure, get you talk to it. We make sure it

140
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: lived a good lighte okay.

141
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Okay, they're talking to the trees. You're totally normal. Artificial

142
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: trees have been the preferred option for over a decade now,

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: and real ones just keep losing more and more ground.

144
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: Oh poor guys.

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: The pull found the main reasons are cost, convenience, and safety. Plus,

146
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: you can reuse the same tree over and over. You

147
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with the pine needles everywhere. And

148
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: there's a lower chance of your tree catching fire and

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: burning down your house.

150
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: Not no chance, just a lower chance.

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need a little bit of danger. As for

152
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: this guy, what does he go with? He's actually all

153
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: about having the real tree in his living room and

154
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: then once New Year's passes, he breaks off the limbs

155
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: and just uses it as a pole. Got a little

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: fun too. That now means Laser Stories has come to

157
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: an end for the day. We'll do it again the

158
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: same time on Friday.
