1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's launching a new startup airline

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: called Squish, where the entire plane is only middle seats.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, at honest, I'm not sure.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: How they get that done, but maybe everybody sits in

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: a giant oval, so everybody's in the middle.

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: Welcome the Squish and enjoy your flight.

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: You have to stare at each other. Yea.

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: With Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird news

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: stories around the globe, just like everyone else does, except

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: we've got a laser and those other bars baguettes just don't.

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Charleston, West Virginia.

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: It was a sad day as a crowd of people

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: gathered for a candlelight vigil to honor an establishment that

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: was very important to them. Oh, I'm talking about the

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: local Charleston Hooters. What the community had learned that their

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: location was closed and the building would soon be destroyed

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: the humanity of it all, and they did not want

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: to mourn alone else, so call went out on social media,

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and wouldn't you know it, four hundred people showed.

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: Up to Hooters candlelight vigils.

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Out of towners even came from far away as Ohio

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: and North Carolina to pay their respects.

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: Sorry, Boss, i gotta take the day off of word.

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: I've got a service to attend.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: The boss, the Hooter service. I'm gonna be there too,

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: that's all carpool.

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: They even hung posters on the fence outside the location,

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: laid flowers down, and lit candles eat sharing what Hooters

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: meant to them.

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: Possibly mean, I mean nobody goes there.

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Everybody has their favorite place to eat lunch.

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: Put on my nylons and my booty shorts right now.

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: And old employees showed up to the vigil as well.

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: Are they looking for tips?

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Former Hooters girl Danielle Hughart spoke about how she helped

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: customers celebrate their birthdays, engagements, and in the waning days

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: of their bachelorhood while wearing the skimpiest of outfits.

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: Engagements, Okay, you're not going to any engagement parties at Hooters.

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: There's not as romantic as they are.

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: Even the original owner was on hand to pay his

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: respects and said, for some people it was all about

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: friendship and community. For others, it was all about those

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: two big owls.

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for most people it was the owls.

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we feel this from the bottom of our hearts.

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Rip to the Charleston Hooters. You will not be forgotten.

47
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: This next laser Zori is out of the United Kingdom.

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: In Britain, they just celebrated the two hundredth anniversary of

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: the r n l I or Royal Navy Lifeboat Institution,

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of like our Coast Guard. Lately, they've been very busy,

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: probably because seventy six year old Finley Burton is keeping

52
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: them on their toes. Once a week he would try

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: and roll a bathtub from Southwest England three hundred and

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: fifty eight miles away to Scotland.

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Do bathtubs flow? Is there a water displacement thing that's

56
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: happening there? Yeah?

57
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Finley dreamed he could do it, yeah, and always had

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: his dog with him during the attempts.

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Ducky.

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: They get about half a mile out to see before

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the tub started sinking.

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: Okay, it did sink, okay, and.

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: That's when the rnl I would come in to save him.

64
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: One if it gets a little water in it, it's

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty bottom hip.

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: How many bathtubs could this man find to do?

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Because they saved him many many times. They always brought

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: his tub back to shore. They did, and no matter

70
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: what they said to him, he kept on doing it.

71
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Okay, why didn't they let the tub set? That could

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: have solved the Probably.

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: They came up with a better idea and decided the

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: only way to say Finley's life was by destroying his bathb.

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: Suddenly, Finley's in a shower. Now is he doing that?

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: They blew it up in the middle of the night.

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: It feels very violent.

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Finley would have gone in and pulled it out. So yeah,

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: tnt that thing and he never tried ever again. In

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: the end, Finley lived, but his dream died. And that's

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: a good lesson for some. Don't let your dream kill you,

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: especially if it's a really dumb one.

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: Huh, that is a good lesson. God, we're starting off

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: deep this morning bathtub races.

85
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Let's see what's next because this one's out of carb

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Craziness Central.

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: Don't hate on my carbs.

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, did you have a donut this morning? I'd like, well,

89
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: because if you did, this might be hard news to hear.

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: But you're a little uglier than when you woke up

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: that hurt. I say that because a study in France

92
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: found refined carbohydrates make us noticeably less attractive within two

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: hours of eating them.

94
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: So like when I took that Selvi yesterday and I

95
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: was like, God, I hate the way I look right now.

96
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: It wasn't because of me. It was because of the

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: lunch I had.

98
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: That's right, I see the saying isn't it goes right

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: to your hips anymore?

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: It goes right to your face? Wow, And it's true.

101
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: According to the study, it includes things like doughnuts, bagels, pancakes, muffins,

102
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: white bread, and sugary cereals hasty. In fact, researchers had

103
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: volunteers rate how attractive people's faces were before and after

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: they ate breakfast.

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: They did the volunteers know that that's what they were

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 3: getting rated on. Well, you know you're starting off as

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: a midt, so this is.

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: Gonna be anie.

109
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sign up for a study that's gonna really

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 3: dropped my self confidence.

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they.

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Just thought it was a breakfast study and then stopped

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: face with reality. Some ate healthy foods and others ate

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: things that were carb heavy. Okay, the people who ate

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: the carbs were seen as significantly less attractive.

116
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: Oh, just two hours later, they're.

117
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Still in their like huddled over past deposition. They're not

118
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: sure why, but it was true for both men and women,

119
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: almost unanimously.

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: Across the board.

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm not an ugo. I just love sugar.

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think twice about biting into that breakfast pastry.

123
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this next laser story is out of Missouri.

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: Ooh, Missouri.

125
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: If you want to be part of history, get yourself

126
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to Saint Louis on Thursday, because a place called City

127
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Museums hoping to break the world record for most people

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: wearing underpants on their head.

129
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my son does this every day. Mom. It's funny.

130
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: The museum already has the world's largest pair of underwear

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: in the world.

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: Oh, it's one of those refined Missouri Museum.

133
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: The waistband of it measures sixteen feet.

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: Wow.

135
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: They have some experience with this kind of thing. But

136
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: back to their new attempt. The current record for most

137
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: people with underwear on their head is two hundred and

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: seventy It was set at a bookstore in Illinois back

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve.

140
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm not wearing any pants. Film at

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: eleven that.

142
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: The people at City Museum are hoping to crush that mark.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: Oh and they only need two hundred.

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: And seventy one to beat it, but their goal is

145
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and fourteen.

146
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want to hold onto that title as long

147
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: as they can.

148
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's because Thursday is March fourteenth.

149
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: That's pie day as.

150
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: In the mathematical constant three point one four, but three

151
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: one four is also the Saint Louis area code.

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: Calculating this, They're not going with circles or pies. They're

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: going with underwear.

154
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: They're going with the underwear record setting mark. And if

155
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: you're wondering, you don't need to bring your own pair.

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Just show up there at one forty five pm. They

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: will give you some used undies to toss onto your

158
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: hands because.

159
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: Sure they just had him in they're lost and found already.

160
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and if they need any volunteers for people to

161
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,960
