1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that created a Google Maps just

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: for the inside of Ikeas so that you can get

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: from the Schmore Bols over to the Flint flirting section

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: in under two hours.

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how long I've usually lost to that place,

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: and the traffic's always on red.

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: It's Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird news

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: stories around the globe, just like everyone else does, except

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: we got a laser and those other Swedish feetballs. Just

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: this first laser story is out of Chilliwack, British Columbia.

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: Real place, Yeah, I know.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Raj Niche and Harprit Dawan found their dream home right

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: next to a park and they lived there for two

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: peaceful years until a pickleball court was installed and their

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: life was literally ruined. Pickall, Now the couple hears the

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: sound of a ball striking a paddle for eleven hours

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: a day, every day, in every room of their home.

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the court think.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: About that the court is only thirty feet from their residents.

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that's really close.

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: And they say, since it's been going on for almost

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: a year, they now have auditory hallucinations without drugs, so

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: even when there is no ball, they still hear it because.

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: There's like, where's the ball sound?

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: That's what's happened with me and Jose's laugh.

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: I hear it all day or not. Yeah, talks to you.

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: Something happens. You hear me laughing? I do.

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: They say it feels as if someone's consistently punching your

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: head and liking it to literally living next to a

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: gun range.

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what are they doing about it?

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Well, the couple has been complaining, and while the city

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: did set restrictions on when the courts are open, pickleball.

35
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Players don't listen.

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Oh. In the meantime, Rajniche turned to the teachings of

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Gandhi and staged his own hunger strike in an attempt

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: to get the city to do something.

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: I picture him sitting in the middle of the pickleball

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: court and nobody caring.

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Still playing well.

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Fifty hours into the strike, he became ill in his

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: heart rating priest, so he had to eat.

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Come on.

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: The city has said that they are building indoor pickleball

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: courts and the one next to their home will be

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: shut down in November. Oh thank goodness, But according to

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the tortured couple, that's still too far away.

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to your next lazer story.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Out of Pennsylvania, forty five year old Sekella Coles is

51
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the director of parking enforcement for a small town near Philadelphia.

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: She is not a liked person in town.

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Well in her area, all the parking meters only take coins,

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: so after a shift, employees would bring the quarters to Sekella,

55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: and instead of turning them into the city, she did

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: something a little more sinister.

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: She butt birthday cakes with it daycakes.

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: She had one employee convert all the coins into cash,

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: which she'd keep inside of her desk, and then at

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: least a portion of it would be used to cover

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: the cost of food, birthday cakes, office parties, and restaurant

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: trips for her and her staff mates.

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: She liked brook, Yeah that sense, I mean, at least

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 3: she's doing it for her employees.

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: Right, sure.

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: But when the city did an internal audit, she was

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: caught and also accused of avoiding parking tickets for her

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: family members.

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: Oh come on, what is the benefit of being the

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: parting made if you can't do that.

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: The investigation reportedly took months, and she's been charged with

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: theft and receiving stolen property, among other officials say she

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: took more than four thousand, three hundred dollars, but about

74
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: two grand has been returned.

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I just think it's such a thankless job.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: Let the woman have some cakes for the office.

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Real. The birthday cakes, however, had been purchased and eaten,

78
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: so there is no getting those better. This next lazer

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: story is out of did you see that headquarters.

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: The last Night things?

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to be color blind to think

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: something is a different color than someone else.

83
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, probably perception.

84
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Right, Probably happened recently when someone referred to something as

85
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: red and you thought, what, no, that's orange.

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: Was like, yeah, like the orange on my tent. That's yeah,

87
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: that's green, yellow, whatever it was. She's just blind, though, Yeah, yeah,

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 2: that's true. She is blind.

89
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Well, now people online are debating the color of a

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: standard tennis ball.

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: Oh see, that's the exact same thing as the tent.

92
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: Is it green or is it yellow?

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: Tennis balls were originally white, but they were switched to

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: yellowish green in nineteen seventy two so that they showed

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: up better on TV. They come in almost any color,

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: but the standard common ones are fluorescent yellow?

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: Or are they? Because a new pole.

98
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Of nine thousand people, fifty five percent said normal tennis

99
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: balls are yellow, but almost forty percent said green.

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's why I could see green. I think

101
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: it's I think it's green too.

102
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: I think that there's definitely some blue mixed into that

103
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: yellow Jeff.

104
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: And five percent said they're not sure. Oh ya again,

105
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: why is that on the pole?

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: I wish nothing but the worst on the people that

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: answer I'm not sure. When broken down by age, though,

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: people were more likely to say green the younger that

109
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: they were.

110
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Wow, write that down one.

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: In the young categories, over half of people aged eighteen

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: to twenty nine say tennis balls are one hundred percent green,

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: compared to just fifteen percent of boomer sixty five and older.

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, who's yellow? If I've ever seen it.

115
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to your next lazer st Glory out of

116
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Hot date Central.

117
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: I haven't been here in a while, believe it or not.

118
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: The phrase sliding into your DMS is now a decade old,

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: if not weird, and a lot has changed over the

120
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: past ten plus years of social media. In fact, recent

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: results of a new survey just dropped, and forty seven

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: percent of people said their relationship began because one of

123
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: them decided to shoot their shot in a private social

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: media message. Of course, they were talking to people who

125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: were on the dating scene in recent years, so the

126
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: pool did not include people who've been married for three

127
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: decades and never even heard of social media when first

128
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: took up.

129
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

130
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: Some other interesting findings from the online dating study include

131
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of people said social media has been

132
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: a cause of conflict in either their current or previous relationship.

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: My husband hates social media. He gets mad at me

134
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: when I post things about him. Real Yeah, so I

135
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: try to keep him off the ground.

136
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Seventy nine percent use social media to hard launch

137
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: or announce their relationship. Oh my god, I'm.

138
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: Following this girl that is still soft launching her relationship,

141
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: The game works, it's the long game.

142
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Just be in a relationship.

143
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Stop it. Everyonell just wish you washing for ten years

Speaker 1: having an ex's photos visible up.

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: On their Facebook or their Instagram pages. I mean, yeah,

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: probably the ones, right brook.

149
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: My relationship is older than my Instagram account, So I'm

150
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: actually saying, is that crazy?

151
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: But you know you would keep them?

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Mind? Yeah, you throw up your excuse.

153
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, oh, I'm just gonna say I tagged

154
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: my ex and my current relationship pictures like this guy.

155
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: He's not on social media or on any dating apps

156
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: because he got caught catfishing a convert back in twenty

157
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: eleven on plenty of shoes. Permanent Van didn't know they

158
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: even did that, but that sound means Laser Stories has

159
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: come to an end for the day.

160
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: We'll do it again the same time on Friday,
