1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's developing a new in home

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: feature to help you save some space. You've heard of

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: fold away beds. Yeah, introducing the fold away, but.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 2: Day what happened? One minute it's a couch, but you

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: pull a lever.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, it's a fully functional toilet that

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: shoots water right where you need it the most.

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: It's not a drinking fountain.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Good point, hoose, it's the fold away Beday only with

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Laser Stories, a segment where we read weird news stories

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: got a laser and those other birt squirts just don't.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Okay, working on.

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: The tagline, I'll admit that this first laser story is

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: out of the one and only Florida. Let's go. A

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old man named Austin Simmons was having

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: some lunch sitting on a bench in a downtown bus

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: terminal when he just fell asleep. Did that feel you

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: I could fall asleep on a bench right now? Well? Yeah.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Bystanders thought Austin looked kind of out of it, like

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: he'd passed out, so someone went over to check on him,

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: and that good samaritan was a guy named Carlos.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: Carlos.

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Carlos tried to gently wake up Austin by saying hello.

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, buddy, okay, but nothing so touched his shoulder.

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: That's when Austin freaked out, opened up his eyes and

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: threw an open ketchup packet at him.

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Oh sneak attacked.

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: After that, I appreciate that the man fell asleep with

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: it in his hands.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 2: He sounds like he was mid lunch.

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: After that, there was some yelling and police were called.

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Apparently Carlos the good Samaritan was not happy that he

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: had suffered two small spots of ketchup on his jacket,

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: so he decided to press charges way against like a

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: homeless person.

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: No, he's normal guy. Oh but still yeah two big drops.

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he just rupted the nap. He should

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: be the one going to jail.

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Well, police had no choice but to arrest Austin for batteries.

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: It would normally be just considered a misdemeanor, but he

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: had a previous battery conviction on his record, so it

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: was automatically upgraded to a felon. Nobody got Tampa ketchup package.

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: Officers also did find a small amount of cocaine on him,

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: so he got hit with possession of a controlled substance

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: as well.

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: He was asleep. He was obviously not doing it right.

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: All this because of two small ketchup stains. Austin is

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: now facing up to five years in prison.

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: The whole thing would have been fired. What a tragic day.

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to your next laser story.

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Out of Missouri, twenty four year old guy named Mama

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: du Diallo was up to no good. Cops in Kansas

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: City say that between May and June of last year,

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: he sold two cars to at least eight different people.

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: Oh wait, the same car.

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Let me repeat that he sold two cars to eight people.

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so how does that happen? Maybe he miscounted.

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, Mamadu would post one of the cars on Craigslist

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: for a really good price okay, and then.

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: People would pay for it with cash.

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Then later Mama do would sneak into the person's property

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: and steal the car back, only to sell it all

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: over again to somebody else later the same day. I

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: am sorry, how this has not happened to my mother?

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: You don't even know she has bought so many cars

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: from eBay.

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: You know. Yes, I get what you're saying, Brook, It

70
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: is a genius plan, I know, steal her car. So

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: how did he get caught? Well, he tried to sell

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the same car to the same woman twice.

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: For a second time. It was kind of tricky.

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: A lady that he scams saw the car for sale

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: again and used a different Facebook account to reach.

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: Out to him each other. He tried to sell it

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: to her a second time.

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Did she outscanned him?

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: Yes, she did.

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: She did, and she also got security footage of him

81
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: stealing the car around one in the morning, just seven

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: hours after he sold it to her. So with all

83
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: the evidence, Mama Do is facing fourteen felony charges and

84
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: up to ninety eight years in jail.

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: We're like, Mama Do some time. Yes, but at least

86
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: he didn't spill ketchup onto her jacket. So kind of

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: a good guy.

88
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: This final laser story is out of the Big five.

89
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: Oh what's fu Hawaii?

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you what Reese, Witherspoon, Ryan Reynolds, Peyton Manning,

91
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Blake Shelton, Baby Spice, Steve Rkle and a snowball all

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: have in common.

93
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: Sounds like a really sad joke. They're all turning fifty

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: years old this year. That big five, Oh, oh, that one.

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: A sixty four year old man named Jeff Seamus claims

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: he has the world's oldest snowball, which was formed fifty

97
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: years ago on February fifth of nineteen seventy six.

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: How annoying it's been in his freezer for that long?

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, not his freezer because he was a

100
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: teenager back then and was experiencing fresh snowfall for the

101
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: very first time in his life. So he celebrated it

102
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: by making a bunch of snowballs, and he saved one

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and popped it in his mom's freezer.

104
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: Wow, and the mom kept it.

105
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: The mom did keep it her name's Betty, in an

106
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: empty Skippy peanut butter jar, and it was in her

107
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: freezer for decades, and he knew it was there, So

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: when Betty passed away into twenty seventeen, he took it

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: and moved it into his own freezer. Cleah quick and

110
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Jeff says that the snowballs shifted into more of a

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: snow blob at this point, but it's never melted. Despite

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: some very close calls where they had power outages or

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: they had to move it in between homes.

114
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: Why is this the cutest snowball? I love his commitment

115
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: to it.

116
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. He even had to once drive the snowball

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: from San Jose, California, all the way to Reno, Nevada,

118
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: and he packed it in a dry ice bucket. And

119
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: even then he says he was stressed about it the

120
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: whole way.

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: But sir, why are you speeding?

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: I got the snowbook, so it's all in fun.

123
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: But there is some bad news for Jeff's children.

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Oh. He wants them to inherit it when he passes

125
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: away and carry on this burden.

126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: They're drawn straws.

127
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: Whoever gets a short straws. He says, quote, I have

128
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: two adult kids, and they don't get it at all.

129
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: They grew up in places where snow is totally normal,

130
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: so the idea of preserving a snowball for fifty years

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: doesn't really compute for them. But he believes once it

132
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: is theirs, they'll finally get it. Whether they appreciate it

133
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: now or not, it's going to be theirs to preserve forever.

134
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't hopefully he just won't know what happens after

135
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: he passes, so you can hear it money, some good snowballs. Yeah,

136
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: it is kind of like this guy because he's always

137
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: packing something in an iceper.

138
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: Later on, he's got to preserve.

139
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do a demonstration in front of you later

140
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: after the show is done. Broke, but that's that's how

141
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: means Laser Stories has come to an end of the day.

142
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: We'll do it again, same time on Wednesday, Brook and

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning,
