00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: cool soft tapioca pudding.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:14,880

00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Recently, police in Sarasota pulled over a vehicle and they

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: noticed evidence of drugs, so they searched it.

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: In Florida Never they.

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: Found a rolled cigar with a mysterious substance in it,

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: already pill box with the word annex written on it,

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and two separate baggies, both with feentanyl residue inside. There

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: were also three syringes filled with meth and a safe

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: with even more drugs inside.

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: This is in the car.

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: After that discovery, they arrested two people, but the driver

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't go willingly. While they were attempting to detain thirty

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: nine year old Scott Schwierian. He tried to flee on foot,

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: but he only got a few steps before he ran

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: straight into a telephone pole.

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: It's like a slapstick, so the.

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Cops walked over and cuffed him, even though he was

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: knocked out cold, totally unconscious.

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: It only has to happen if it goes boyling, and it's.

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,440

Speaker 1: Seven hundred dollars a month, you can rent your very

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: own bunk bed. Now you will have to pick top

39
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: or bottom, but once you decide, the good news is

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: it's all yours. So they've actually built them inside of

Speaker 1: one after the other.

45
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: I think they actually already have hotels.

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: Like this in Japan, though, But it's not a hotel.

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,360

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: look at that.

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: They call them sleeping pods because these bunk beds have

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: privacy curtains.

52
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,119

00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: just large enough to fit a twin mattress. Also inside

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: your pod you get lighting and one charging port.

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: But wait, that's not all.

57
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: The rent also includes internet from your bed, utilities, a

58
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: tiny bit of storage under your pillow good, and access

Speaker 2: I'm with you, guys, it makes me hurt, I know.

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Can you imagine bringing your date back to your sleeping pod?

70
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: Can you imagine your sleeping pods? Like, oh, we can't,

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: we can't fit at the same time.

Speaker 1: daily onslaught of Christmas tunes.

78
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're here already.

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: So here's a great story.

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: One of the biggest Christmas songs of all time is

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Brenda Lee's Rocking Around the Christmas Tree classic. Yeah, you've

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: seen that in countless movies. Probably are going to hear

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: it a thousand times before the end of this year.

84
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: But I bet you've never heard it in Spanish until now,

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: because Brenda Lee just approved.

86
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: A new song called.

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Navidad that use the power of artificial intelligence to replicate

88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Brenda's lead vocal when younger.

89
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: They did it.

90
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: So, my god, that's crazy. I never thought of AI

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: doing something like that.

92
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: And here it is. Let's listen.

93
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: That that's a I.

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: That's that's not a person.

95
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: It's cool that they she approved this. Yeah, that's what

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: makes it sweet.

97
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Brenda was thirteen years old when she recorded the original,

98
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: so the technology had to work over time to recreate

99
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: her young rockabilly voice.

100
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: That means we could recreate this show in all different languages.

101
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: I am so tired of re recording this over, like

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: in Spanish and in Filipino, and in Russian and like

103
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of.

104
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: Work for us.

105
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: This yeah hard to be that fluid like we are.

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: A press release from Universal Music Group says this technology

107
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: is an innovative use of responsibly.

108
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: Trained AI with Brenda's permission. And I'm guessing they're gonna

109
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: make butt loads of money.

110
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Good for you. Get that cash.

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: Next laser stories out of Java Junction. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1: Starbucks is scrambling to turn around their ever declining sales

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: because apparently Alexis isn't doing her part.

114
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: Don't look if you look at Brook who has want

115
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: me Starbucks?

116
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: Lely, both of you step it up.

117
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: So their biggest change is right around the corner. They

118
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: are going back to Sharpies.

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: All right, now, I can go back here. I've been boycotting.

120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: The CEO says.

121
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: The company plans to buy markers in an attempt to

122
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: bring back the good old days when baristas would write

123
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: your name by hand and sometimes even leave a little

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: message on a customer's cup, yeah like.

125
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: Stop coming in here, us out.

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: So they said, yeah, it's alone.

127
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: I gotta.

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: Do multiple cups. So when will the terrible name drawing begin.

129
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: It's not as easy as just heading out to staples

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: and picking up a couple packs of the markers. The

131
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: company is having to figure out how to get two

132
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: hundred thousand sharpies in the next thirty days out to

133
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: all of their locations.

134
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: Is this really the emergency that they think it is? Like,

135
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: I do love looking at the cups. I missed out

136
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: a little bit being like, wait, what does that say?

137
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah you?

138
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: But maybe the best news is for the lactose intolerant

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: posse out because the chain announced last week that they

140
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: will stop charging an extra fee for adding non dairy

00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: beverages to your drinks.

142
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: That's actually huge. I love the oat milk.

143
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: It's actually a big win for someone on our staff

144
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: because he has been drinking so much Cow's milk. Nato

145
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: reached out to him and said, your gas is destroying

146
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the O's just.

147
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: Trying to save money on his drinks.

148
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: That's how means Laser Stories is over for the day.

149
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,520
