Speaker 1: and those other Jamba jerks just don't.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: This first laser story is out of Michigan.

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: So we covered this viral story last week with a

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: guy who was driving during a virtual court appearance about

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: his suspended license and.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: Wit so viral a game.

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Now he's gifts.

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: If you missed it, here's a snippet of that zoom

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: call with the judge.

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: Mister, harl are you driving, Ashley. I'm pulling into my

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: doctor's office. Actually I'm parking right now. This is your

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: own license suspended.

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: And he was just driving and he didn't ever a license.

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 2: Oh.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I still cannot get over the fact that he thought

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: he was so smart.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm bargain right now.

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: His face was so pure, you know, like, oh, I

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: made it on times. Yeah, I'm in a park.

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: So that was pretty insane.

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: But it just got more ridiculous because after the video

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: became a sensation, the driver, forty four year olds Corey Harris,

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: complained about being made into a punchline.

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: Take it.

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: I really thought about him. I was like, you would

34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: suck to be this guy.

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: He's lovable though, you know, it's not like somebody hat on.

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: He's He's not sure.

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: He told the local news that the courts had made

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: a mistake and that the suspension of his license had

39
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: been removed from his record, which was true technically, but

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: he neglected to mention one huge detail, the fact that

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Corey he never actually had a driver's license to begin.

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: With, stopple your head.

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: Did you get suspended about one? Wait?

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: He talked to the news, and then the news went

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: and researched and found this out.

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: And the follow up court hearing, the judge spent ten

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: minutes lecturing Corey and his representation for not taking responsibility.

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: After that, his attorney basically admitted that he'd lied. She

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: said Corey was not under oath for anything that he

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: said to the media. And that he just wants to

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: move forward from this, and he has an appointment to

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: finally get his driver's license.

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: We're rooting for you, Coy.

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: This next laser story is out of Missouri. Some businesses

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: will do anything to be popular with the twenty somethings,

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: but one place is going viral for not letting them

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: in the door.

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: Rude.

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: There's a new upscale Caribbean restaurant called Bliss, so too

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: spicy for you anyway.

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: And it has an interesting policy.

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: They've set an age restriction which requires male guests to

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: be at least thirty five and women to be thirty. God,

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: they do card at the door, and people in their

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: twenties will be kept out.

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: So so it's like they to thirty five year old

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: men are to be trusted either.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: That's weird. Why are they doing this?

69
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: The manager says, Bliss is just something for older people.

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: You come here, have a happy hour, get some good food,

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: and not have to worry about the young folks who

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: bring in all.

73
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: Of that drama, you know what.

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: He also admits that they've been getting a little bit

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: of backlash online, but that's cool. They're still going to

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: stick with it, and he says they are strict because

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: young people have been trying to sneak.

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: By and post about it on social media.

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: You imagine getting a fake made sing your forty I'm

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: only twenty five, but I really do this next La.

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: The story is out of tech trends USA. Have you

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: ever been to a place that only accepted cash and

83
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: if you didn't have any, they'd point to some shady

84
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: ATM in the corner.

85
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: Yes, and then you always wonder, wait a minute, is

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: it their atm?

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: And then they're making Well. Now the opposite is happening

88
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: these days.

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: A lot of places don't take cash and they only

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: accept digital payments.

91
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: So what do you do if you only have cash

92
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: on you?

93
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: You make sure that your phone has your credit card

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: on it.

95
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: Jes Brook and Alexis taught me that it changed my life.

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: What if you've forgotten? What if you forgot your phone?

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: Then too?

98
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: Are you a human?

99
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Someone came up with the idea for a reverse ATMA.

100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: They've been popping up everywhere lately.

101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: And these reverse ATMs will take your cash and then

102
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: it'll spit out a plastic debit card. Now they do

103
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: deduct a transaction fee, which is usually a few Bucks,

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: and they've even started popping up at baseball stadiums where

105
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: the concession stands will own take calls. I notice it,

106
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: and it's always an old dude that's like, what do

107
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: you mean I.

108
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: Can't buy with my five dollars?

109
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Coming to this exactly the old people who still like

110
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: to pay with cash, and they love to write their checks.

111
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: They have no idea what is going on right now?

112
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 3: So funny.

113
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna see an old guy writing a check

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 1: to a machine.

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: Next laser story is out of Workplace Central.

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal just did a big story on

117
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: telephone a phobia, which is the fear of making or

118
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: receiving phone calls telephone.

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: That is a fun word, tephobia.

120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: It's much more common in people under thirty who've never

121
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: known a world without texting it. And in the other hand,

122
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: older workers tend to find phone calls more relaxing because

123
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: no one's looking at you during the call.

124
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: A phone call, I'm like, who died somebody's.

125
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm gonna choose between a FaceTime or

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: a phone call, I'm so over like the video chat, Yeah,

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: just give.

128
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: Me a But younger employees have the opposite take one

129
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty six year old commented on the story and said

130
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: she has to listen to music and pump herself up

131
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: before she ever gets onto a phone because not seeing

132
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: people gives her anxiety.

133
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: Oh, that's so weird. Before but you don't see somebody

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: makes you feel nervous.

135
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: Yeah.

136
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Some companies are even hiring consultants now to teach young

137
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: people how.

138
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,239

00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Some of the questions that she gets really surprise her,

147
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: like how do I end a phone call?

148
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: Whoa goodbye?

149
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: Yes?

150
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

151
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: When do you leave a voicemail? How do you end

152
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: a voicemail? I don't get it? Okay, it's awkward, Okay,

153
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 3: talk to you later. Bye, it's weird. It's weird.

154
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: Or when they ask after the person says hello, what

155
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: do I say back?

156
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: It's tricky?

157
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: That is scary. It's a scary.

158
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: Moment, Yeah, you'll probably say hello, So I go with that.

159
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: So meetings over the phone are back in style because

160
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: everyone's got zoom fatigue and young people who hate the

161
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: phone are not happy about it. I know this guy

162
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: makes phone calls all the time, but he denies that

163
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,040
