Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's making new adult bobblehead dolls.
Speaker 1: Where that head isn't the part that bobbles.
Speaker 2: Oh it is.
Speaker 3: All baseball stadiums have returned the.
Speaker 2: Wow, really they don't want him.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure why it.
Speaker 1: Would for cheap on eBay. Now with Laser Stories, the
Speaker 1: segment where we read weird news stories around the globe
Speaker 1: just like everyone else does, except we have a laser.
Speaker 3: When those other wooden bat boys just don't.
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recently,
Speaker 1: a guy named Stephen Jones walked into a gas station
Speaker 1: and attempted to rob it.
Speaker 2: Not good when you just say attempted for him anyway, right.
Speaker 1: Stephen even had a note that said give me all
Speaker 1: your money or I will shoot you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean anymore gas stations don't even carry that
Speaker 2: much cash.
Speaker 3: That's sure.
Speaker 2: Here the seventy five dollars and.
Speaker 3: The gas station. It's like, please bro.
Speaker 1: Apparently that's not fully true, because he left with a
Speaker 1: bunch of cash. Oh I did, But cops tracked him
Speaker 1: down and arrested him three days later.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, they were on it.
Speaker 1: That's where the story takes a bizarre twist because Stephen
Speaker 1: said he was asked to rob the place and did
Speaker 1: it as a favor.
Speaker 2: Wait what, He's just being a good friend.
Speaker 1: Turns out his buddy, who was the cashier, wanted to
Speaker 1: get work off early that night, so he asked Stephen
Speaker 1: to hold up the place so he could officially clock out.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was thinking, I'm like, if he
Speaker 1: got money, he must have known what they were going
Speaker 1: to do the same.
Speaker 2: You just have those days, Yeah, just call out sick man,
Speaker 2: pretend like you have a cold.
Speaker 3: You don't have to like take a robbery.
Speaker 1: It was like when Brooke asked me to call in
Speaker 1: a bomb threat to the studio so that she could
Speaker 1: go pick up her kids from school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she just wanted to be thirty minutes late.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Cops were skeptical about that story, but found the text
Speaker 1: messages on his phone to prove it. So both men
Speaker 1: were arrested and are now facing charges. As for Steven,
Speaker 1: he doesn't believe he should have any jail time because
Speaker 1: he was just being a loyal friend.
Speaker 2: Do you think his buddy that was working that night
Speaker 2: was like a little far man, You didn't have to
Speaker 2: go with the I will kill you.
Speaker 1: Next Laser stories out of Burbank, California. A contestant on
Speaker 1: The Price Is Right is going viral right now for
Speaker 1: something he didn't expect.
Speaker 3: What happened on the game show.
Speaker 1: The man's name is Henry, and he was solving the
Speaker 1: final puzzle when he got it right, started jumping in
Speaker 1: the air, flailing his arms and pumping his fist wildly
Speaker 1: in celebration. Right right, But apparently he was pumping his
Speaker 1: fists so hard he dislocated his shoulder.
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1: Did you catch that was an actual Prices Right sound
Speaker 1: effect during a Price's Right story.
Speaker 3: That's very rare for us. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: But Henry came out later in the show to spin
Speaker 1: the wheel, but as you walked on stage, it was
Speaker 1: pretty opt. He had absolutely no use of his right arm.
Speaker 2: Did they at least put it back in the socket
Speaker 2: for him?
Speaker 3: Do they have someone on set to do that? It
Speaker 3: was hanging loosely at his side.
Speaker 1: So the show producers decided it was fair if his wife,
Speaker 1: Alice came up on stage and spun it for him,
Speaker 1: which she did and landed on ninety five, trying.
Speaker 2: To get it to the one dollar mark.
Speaker 3: That's bad.
Speaker 1: It's ninety five cents out of one dollar.
Speaker 3: It's very good. Have they never watched The Prices right?
Speaker 1: No, Well, that great score propelled Henry to the Showcase Showdown,
Speaker 1: and it turns out the injury was worth it because
Speaker 1: he was able to win a tropical vacation to Hawaii
Speaker 1: for Alice and himself.
Speaker 2: He can't go swimming.
Speaker 1: The Price is Right did state that he had to
Speaker 1: take a trip to the er after the show. However,
Speaker 1: Henry is feeling better and is all healed up. Now
Speaker 1: you're like, Henry, we do have medics on scene, but
Speaker 1: you have to guess how much will.
Speaker 3: Your medical buildings.
Speaker 1: Apparently, he's not the first player to endure an injury
Speaker 1: while competing on the beloved game show. A contestant named
Speaker 1: Judy Metzner twisted or ankle while spinning the wheel in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, having to play the Showcase Showdown on crutches.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I feel like I remember that exactly. I know,
Speaker 3: but that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I love the Prices right.

Speaker 1: Cheesy Creams. Oo, let's go the University of Wisconsin's Center
Speaker 1: for Dairy Research is looking to hire five descriptive sensory panelists.
Speaker 2: What is that? Do I get to eat cheese all day? Jeff?
Speaker 2: Because I'm in It's.
Speaker 3: Not the highest paid position.
Speaker 1: They're offering fifteen bucks an hour, but they're looking for
Speaker 1: candidates who can be on hand for three tasting sessions
Speaker 1: every week to relax in big bark a lounger chairs
Speaker 1: while researchers feed you pizza and an assortment of cheeses
Speaker 1: for three straight hours.
Speaker 3: A dream job, three hours, three hours of dairy going
Speaker 3: down the pipe.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've never had a problem digesting dairy, but
Speaker 2: that might was even me to the limit.
Speaker 1: You would need to eat all the cheese and all
Speaker 1: the pizza and then provide feedback on stuff like appearance, texture, aroma,
Speaker 1: and flavor. Not about your body at that point. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about of the food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, huh.
Speaker 1: They say previous sensory panelist experience is preferred.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've done this before.
Speaker 1: They're also willing to fully train people who haven't cheesed
Speaker 1: binge themselves before.
Speaker 2: I mean, somebody's asking for experience at this point are
Speaker 2: getting pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been here before.
Speaker 1: You'd have to be the perfect candidate and have videotape
Speaker 1: of you gorging yourself in order.
Speaker 3: To prove you have that check.
Speaker 2: Michael, hold the camera, go down on this pound of cheese.
Speaker 1: You can't have any They're accepting applications through today, and

Speaker 1: stories at Brook and Jeffery.
Speaker 3: You want to cheese yourself our listeners and fans gets
Speaker 3: the job.
Speaker 2: I've never been out cheese, but I think I'm really
Speaker 2: to try this.
Speaker 1: Next Lazer short is out of Life Hack Headquarters. Here's
Speaker 1: an easy hack that's good for any day. If you're
Speaker 1: feeling tired and need to boost this afternoon, don't reach
Speaker 1: for that third cup of coffee.
Speaker 3: Instead, stick your head into a freezer. Okay, and take
Speaker 3: it out eventually.
Speaker 2: I will say, like, let's not do one of those
Speaker 2: like full down freezers, like we're people suffocated.
Speaker 1: Don't inside of the freezer. It's a tip from a
Speaker 1: recent book called The Sleep Prescription. It's by a neuroscientist
Speaker 1: at the University of California, San Francisco.
Speaker 3: He says, yes, you could.
Speaker 1: Have that extra cup of Joe and the caffeine would
Speaker 1: wake you up, but if it's later in the day,
Speaker 1: that could also keep you up late into the night, cause.
Speaker 2: In a whole cycle of sleepier day the next day.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say that sticking your head in
Speaker 1: a freezer offers a more immediate boost of energy, and
Speaker 1: it won't mess with your bed schedule. And the reason
Speaker 1: it works is obvious, but the scientific explanation is the
Speaker 1: brief shock of cold activates your arousal system.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just go to the ice cream aisle in
Speaker 2: the grocery store.
Speaker 3: You can say we do this at work. Doesn't work
Speaker 3: because it smells so bad in there. Oh yeah, the freeze,
Speaker 3: it'll wake you up, double stimulation.
Speaker 1: But you get the same effect by going for a
Speaker 1: quick walk or focusing on a non work related task
Speaker 1: for ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Deep freezing your head is just the quickest option, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Guessing scrolling your phone doesn't count as the non.
Speaker 1: Related Plus there's the added benefit of being labeled the
Speaker 1: weird one at your workplace.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, how does this guy get a burst of energy
Speaker 1: in the afternoon? He just climbs up into that freezer
Speaker 1: and shuts the door for thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: He calls it shell shock laser stories. It comes to
Speaker 3: an end for the day. We'll do it again the
Speaker 3: same time on Friday, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
