00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: laser story is out of Europe.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Many countries now have bullet trains, and the other day

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: one was zipping through Germany and had a scheduled stop

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: halfway between Munich and Nuremberg.

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,760

Speaker 2: we have the bullets here, it's not so much to trains.

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: During that time, a forty year old Hungarian man named

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Laslo Kovac stepped off the train to smoke a cigarette. Yeah,

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: and didn't get back on before they closed the doors.

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh oh dang, yeah, be careful.

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: He saw it leaving, so he jumped onto a bracket

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: connecting two of the train cars and held on for

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: dear life. As it hit one hundred and seventy five

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: miles an hour.

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: No, and like you said, it's a bullet train, it's

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: a regular train. These are super Fah. Just wait till

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: the next train and catch up with the als.

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: Thankfully, after twenty miles somebody saw.

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Him, which is actually five seconds, and officials stopped the

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: train and he was saved.

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm imagine like Spider Man when he's in front

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: of the train in that one movie, Keith, he better

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: have left like a really important bag or something on

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: that train. Yeah. And when authority showed up, Laslow said

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: he did it because his luggage was on board and

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: he didn't want.

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: To be separated from it.

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: So he's now facing charges for an act disruptive to

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: operations and shocker cubs also found he never actually bought

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: a ticket, so he boarded illegally as well, which is

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: something that they tacked on that infraction to it too.

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll finally real Maybe he'll finally realize he should

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: give up smoking.

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd done that. His next Lazer Stories out of Japan.

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: An aquarium closed for renovation last month, around the same

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: time their giant sunfish had become unwell. Oh, no. When

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the nine foot long fish refused to eat and would

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: rub its belly.

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: Up against the glass. Oh money.

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Marine biologists are doing everything they could to try and

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: fix what they thought was a digestive problem. That is

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: until one staff member suggested, maybe it's just lonely because

52
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: it misses the visitors.

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: That would be the it would be. It'd be like

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: a finding Nemo character.

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Scientists thought there was a ninety nine percent chance that

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: was not the case, but they would test the theory

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: just to see. Okay, printed and they printed out life

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: size pictures of people and tape them up against the

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: tank windows.

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: Oh right, it gets closed to visitors, and by.

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: The next day the sunfish was totally happy again.

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: He just wants attention fresh.

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: It turns out the one staffer was right. The giant

64
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: sunfish was just lonely, and aquarium workers have been changing

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: out the people's photos daily and taking turns going to hang.

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: Out with the sunfish.

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: They spend at least a couple hours each day waving

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and smiling.

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: Time totally well spent. Is this sunfish the laboratory retriever

70
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 2: of the sea.

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't the first time in aquariums had to

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: cheer up lonely fish either. During the twenty twenty COVID lockdown,

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Tokyo Sumida Aquarium asked for volunteers to face time with

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: its three hundred spotted garden eles, who'd become shy without

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: people around, making it hard for the staff to.

76
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: Check up on. I'm other shy eel shy ye.

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: This next laser stories out of the pharmacy files. Walgreens

78
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: just came to a big realization. When you lock stuff

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: up in a store, you don't sell as.

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Many of them. Chef, what is done?

81
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's a great, big dud any customer ever.

82
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: But Walgreens is the first to admit that locking their

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: cases to deter theft actually cost the company a lot

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: more money than they would have ever lost in shoplifting.

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: I hate pushing that button just to get like my

86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: kids vitamins, yeah, you know, at Target or whatever. And

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: then and then they take twenty minutes and I finally

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: just give up. I'm like, well, vitamin deficient kids.

89
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: It is. The company reported a net loss of two

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five million dollars last year, compared to

91
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: just thirty nine million a year earlier.

92
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: That math is not good for them.

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the problem the theft hasn't gone away. It's

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot smaller compared to them not being able to

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: sell anything behind locked cases. Okay, dude, I saw you

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: can't buy laundry to tourney.

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: No, you can't buy anhead trying to buy them. Okay, Yeah,

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: give me the big thing of tide pods. Yeah, it

99
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: doesn't make you feel sketchy. Yeah, like, I swear this

100
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: is for laundry. I swear.

101
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: The company is looking at more creative solutions after the

102
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: numbers came out, possibly making decoy products or equipping their

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: carts with alarms if you try to leave their store

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: with an unscanned item. Oh, I mean that's better than

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: the glass cases, I guess, yeah, or plastic cases.

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: They aren't exactly sure yet.

107
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: Until then, they plan on closing about twelve hundred stores

108
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: over the next.

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: Three years Nikes open. How many stores do they have? Cheese?

110
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: This next Lazer stories out of the Kale Connections.

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: Here's a snack hack for people with young children.

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: A new study found they'll eat more vegetables if they

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: think it gives them superpowers. I love spinach because when

114
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I was a kid, my parents would be like feel

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: like Popeye?

116
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, spinach, get big muscles. Yep.

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Researchers spent twenty minutes reading kids fairy tales that involved

118
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: magical fruits and vegetables. Oh, and the hero in the

119
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: story was either healed or saved by eating them. Wow.

120
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: And after the story was done, they offered the kids

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: a choice of four different snacks, fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies.

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: They go cook. Well.

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Turned out the story made them more likely to choose

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the healthier food options and leave the cake behind.

125
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Okay, would that work on me? Because I would like

126
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: to choose kill and cookies and I don't ever well.

127
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Plus, the veggie superhero study had a lasting effect on it.

128
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of those kids were still eating more greens

129
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: even weeks later. Wow.

130
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: Cool, I like this.

131
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: It just goes to show that everybody should be thinking

132
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: about going more green.

133
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: Like this guy. Oh, he's very great.

134
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Would love to be in his own superhero book someday,

135
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: maybe even as a villain Spider Man versus the Green Gobbler.

136
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: It could happen.

137
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: And that how means Laser Stories has come to an

138
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: end for the day. We'll do it again, same time

139
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: on Friday

140
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
