1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's opening a new animal shelter

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: for displaced pets, specifically digital ones. Tomagotchis, don't spend thousands

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: buying a pure breed from some unethical breeder. Open your

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: heart and give a used tamagotchi a second beep. At

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: Life with Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: news stories around the globe, just like everyone else does,

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: except we've got a laser. Those other widgy diggies just don't.

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Someone someone take my kids from them because they're not

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: doing well.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Brevard County, Florida.

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Cops got multiple calls about a car speeding down Highway

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: one ninety two between Orlando and Melbourne, and the thing

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: that really stood out about it the car was on fire.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: Hey, nobody got time for it. Oh my god. Though

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: he did have a friend in high school who had

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: a Volkswagen Bug and those things caught fire all the time.

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: It was like, can't we just drive it out?

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, ritnesses said the driver. Sixty year old Patrick Ronaldi

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: did stop initially, but then hopped back in and kept going,

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: with heavy smoke pouring out the back of his vehicle,

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: He why would you hop back in? He eventually stopped

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: a second time, and by then there were actual flames.

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: But Patrick decided and that's probably fine to keep going.

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: It's like one of those drag racers, you know, good thing.

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing that could explode in this, so he took

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: off again. Now Patrick eventually did pull over once the

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: flames got too out of control.

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Didn't see I do feel like this is something Alexis

29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: w would do and then be like, what, Dad, I

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: didn't know flames were.

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Bad when he stopped. It turned out his wife was

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: also in the car, who so scared she barely managed

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: to it out in time. When officers showed up, they

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: realized Patrick was drunk because he smelled like alcohol and

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: his eyes were bloodshot in glassy No wonder you want

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: to talk to any cops. He claims he only had

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: one beer. Of course he did, but there was an

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: entire bottle of booze on the floor of the car.

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like the local sheriff joke that in

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: their line of work, that's what they would call a clue.

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: So did they have to do?

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: They're on top of it. So now Patrick is facing

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: charges for drunk driving and refusing to take a DUI test.

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: As for why he kept driving with his car on fire,

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: he reportedly told deputies he didn't know how it started,

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: but he was driving fast, trying to locate a car

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: wash so he could put it out.

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Flaming car, slowly turn it, put it, fixed it.

49
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: It's go to your next laser story. Out of the UK.

50
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: One club in London may have just answered every woman's dream.

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: They just launched the first ever party that allows only

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: men who are at least six feet tall to enteries.

53
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: It's called the Land of the Giants Party, and guys

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: can't even cheat their way in because every man has

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: to be measured at the door next to a sign

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: to ensure he's actually six feet.

57
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Bar next door. For the ones who are just under

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: the Short Kings Club, we recommend that one short guys

59
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: work harder.

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Okay, think of it kind of like one of those

61
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: you must be this tall to ride this ride. So

62
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the deals of course.

63
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean, get your shoelifts goes.

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: No, they make you take your shoes off and you

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: have to stand in front of that sign. Of course,

66
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: there are zero height requirements for women, but the the

67
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: website touts the event as a night designed around height, presence,

68
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: and status. This is a room where tall men are

69
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: the standard, not the exception.

70
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: You know that they're competing with each other to to

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: see who's the tallest.

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, not everybody is super supportive of

73
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: the idea. One woman commented, saying so sad and embarrassing.

74
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Height should not be that important. But where do you

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: get the tickets? Again? The event is happening this Saturday,

76
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: but there is no way to get in because it

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: is already sold out. It happened within one minute UK, right,

78
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: so yes, maybe next year alexis a third party. This

79

Speaker 2: They always do something new every year to keep up with.

83
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: The slave and this doesn't mean that they're cutting out

84
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: the classic ones like Marry Me and Cutie Pie. They'll

85
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: still have those, but they're just adding a few new

Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's how you end up living with your

90
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: significant other away.

91
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: That's a tough question.

92
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: Why would you put that on a horror.

93
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: Number four carpool, Yes, yes, ladies love that. Number three

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,479

Speaker 2: Yeah.

101
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's even scarier than the split rent move

102
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: in conversation, is it?

103
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: I feel like it just goes to my parents. The

104
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: people what my mom's Netflix.

105
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: They say that they didn't fully pigeonhole it as just

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: for gen Z. It's called the Love in this Economy collection.

107
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I see, now it makes sense.

108
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: A separate poll found money worries are affecting Valentine's Day

109
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: plans for about eighty percent of all Americans this year. Yeah,

110
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: so that's why they went the more practical route. I

111
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: hear people are ordering from door dash but then working

112
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: for door Dash to go get their own food.

113
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: That's smart.

114
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: What I'm saying that is a hack your deliveries. Yeah. Oh,

115
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: they got to put door Dash on the next yourself

116
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: Well yeah.

117
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I think. I don't know that that mathematically

118
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: works out, but I like it.

119
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to your final laser story. Out of the

120
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: ratings round up, Nielsen released its year end streaming numbers,

121
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: and as expected, Stranger Things was a monster Okay, but

122
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't the monster.

123
00:06:59,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh interesting.

124
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: People streamed it for forty billion minutes, but that was

125
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: only good enough for third place.

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Are we doing anything else with our time? That is

127
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: a ridiculous amount of to only be third place?

128
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Who's just rewatching it? Over over? In second Gray's Anatomy

129
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: had forty one billion minutes watched. Who is still watching?

130
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: But watch? Yeah, the champ continues to rain at more

131
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: than forty five billion minutes.

132
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: Okay.

133
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: The children's cartoon Bluey.

134
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: Games close to a children's cartooner, Yeah, very close to blue.

135
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Rounding out the top five are NCIS and SpongeBob SquarePants

136
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: right behind. I love it.

137
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: It's either murder or humor between What is.

138
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: This guy watching on TV lately? You've definitely heard of

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore. He watched the after Dark knockoff Happy shoe More.

140
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: That's definitely a hole in one. That Sam means Late

00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll
