Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that just launched a new cell
Speaker 1: phone company with Robert de Niro called You Talking to Me?
Speaker 2: In their new ad campaign. De Niro gets in a
Speaker 2: screaming match with the can you hear me now? Guys?
Speaker 3: I like it? I like it?
Speaker 2: Can you hear me now? You talking to me? Can
Speaker 2: you hear me now?
Speaker 1: You talking to me?
Speaker 2: Just back and forth? Does it even matter anymore?
Speaker 1: Can't we all just get along and read laser stories?
Speaker 1: The segment where we're talking about the weird news stories
Speaker 1: around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we
Speaker 1: have a laser and those other mint mobidopes just don't.
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of Lawrence County, Indiana.
Speaker 1: Thirty four year old Sarah Harris was having a very
Speaker 1: bad day, maybe for a little different than the typical.
Speaker 2: Bad day reasons people have.
Speaker 1: Okay, you see, for Sarah, her dealer gave her an
Speaker 1: inferior batch of methanthetamine, A.
Speaker 2: Total bumming so hard to find good dealer.
Speaker 1: So Sarah did what anyone would do in that frustrating situation.
Speaker 2: She called the cops.
Speaker 3: I thought she was just going to write a YELP review.
Speaker 1: She dialed nine one one and let him know that
Speaker 1: she wanted to turn the person in who supplied her
Speaker 1: with the tainted drugs. So how did the police respond.
Speaker 1: They assured her they would get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 1: They would and promptly send a unit.
Speaker 2: Out to her house. That's when she told officers that she.
Speaker 1: And a friend had enjoyed a normal bowl of meth
Speaker 1: earlier that year, and that's how she knew that there
Speaker 1: was something wrong with this new stuff.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, I know the bowl is not a bowl,
Speaker 3: but I did picture a big salad of meth and
Speaker 3: then spooning it into their mouth.
Speaker 2: Over to each other.
Speaker 1: And when police showed up, she demanded that they test
Speaker 1: the sample and handed a small baggy right to the cops.
Speaker 1: This is gonna go well, you're not going to believe this,
Speaker 1: but Sarah was arrested.
Speaker 2: No being charged with a level six felony of possessing myth.
Speaker 2: There's even Karen's and myths.
Speaker 1: Possibly seen that coming. Let's go to your next laser story.
Speaker 1: Out of tech trends, I guess guard dogs are pretty
Speaker 1: much obsolete now because this is even more terrifying. The
Speaker 1: latest tech product for purchase right here in America that's
Speaker 1: going viral is robot dogs with flame throwers attached to
Speaker 1: their heads.
Speaker 2: Yes, what could possibly? Oh my god, right now.
Speaker 3: It's more terrifying in the photo than you can even imagine.
Speaker 1: The company called throw Flame is selling one called the
Speaker 1: Therminator for nine four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: I thought they for sure they would call it like
Speaker 3: a cuddly name like Teddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a real thing and you can operate
Speaker 1: it over Wi Fi or Bluetooth with a remote control,
Speaker 1: and it can shoot flames up to already feet in
Speaker 1: the air. Imagine being in a dog park and being like, oh,
Speaker 1: does he bite?
Speaker 2: It's like, no, he flamethrow.
Speaker 1: If you watch the ad and we will have it
Speaker 1: up on our Insta stories that broke in Jeffrey. It
Speaker 1: looks like a guard dog, but the company never mentions
Speaker 1: it in its write ups. Instead, it just lists different
Speaker 1: things that this is perfect for, which include controlled burns.
Speaker 2: But you dead leaves if you want to get rid
Speaker 2: of why can't you do that? Ice and snow removal,
Speaker 2: God my.
Speaker 3: God, the driveway, Hey honey, get the throat.
Speaker 2: Frost, but the car's on fire now.
Speaker 1: It's also good for clearing weeds, pyrotechnic.
Speaker 2: Or entertainment and pest removal. I it's good for life
Speaker 2: removal doesn't mention if the pest is walking on two
Speaker 2: feet or four of the.
Speaker 1: Many people online cannot believe that this is legal, but
Speaker 1: surprisingly the company says they're absolutely one hundred percent legal
Speaker 1: in all fifty states. You just need a special permit
Speaker 1: if you're in California or Maryland to get a flamethrower
Speaker 1: legally a flamethrowing dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not yours.
Speaker 3: No, you could have a flamethrower as well. Yeah, yeah
Speaker 3: you should not. You, out of all people, should not
Speaker 3: own one.
Speaker 2: I want to turn the volume down on my headphone
Speaker 2: to the flamethrower. Yeah. Take them to Obedian school. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it'll be fine. This next Lasuer store is out
Speaker 2: of Snack headquarters.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Nabisco announced a new flavor of Oreo coming out
Speaker 1: next month, as they have every month for the last
Speaker 1: ninety eight straight months.
Speaker 3: But I did just see the Churl one in the
Speaker 3: store that we talked about a while ago. I thought
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: That was the last month Snack.
Speaker 1: This one is a little bit different because ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: I give you Sour Patch Kids flavored Oreos.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, my.
Speaker 2: Kids would be all over this.
Speaker 3: So they are the disgusting humans They go to the
Speaker 3: yogurt shop and get chocolate yogurt covered.
Speaker 1: In Yes, yes, they're known for overdoing it on the
Speaker 1: Oreo flavors, but this might be their weirdest one yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: While the whole thing actually started as a big joke
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two when Sour Patch Kids tweeted
Speaker 1: a doctored photo of exactly what they're selling now, and
Speaker 1: they tagged Oreo in it and said, what if we
Speaker 1: actually made these?
Speaker 2: That would be fun.
Speaker 3: I mean there's such natural colors. It looks like they
Speaker 3: come in red and orange and yea.
Speaker 2: Jelly they were sour, I would think they look delicious. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: there's the right colors sour.
Speaker 1: And apparently Nabisco just ran with this idea. They just
Speaker 1: released a statement saying the Oreo brand is always looking
Speaker 1: for playful ways to excite our fans, and what better
Speaker 1: and more unexpected way to do that than make super
Speaker 1: sour filling.
Speaker 3: They'd be so good on like a mud pie with
Speaker 3: the pudding and then the gummy worms on top.
Speaker 2: No, I mean sour cookies just there's something wrong with that.
Speaker 1: If you're interested, you can pre order them on the
Speaker 1: Oreo website and they hit stores nationwide on May sixth.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a limited edition thing, so even they
Speaker 1: realize there is no way.
Speaker 2: Anybody wants these around long term.
Speaker 1: I just want Sour Patch to do chocolate, little guys,
Speaker 1: the sweet patch covered in chocolate.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other way around this is Oreo's business. Back off.
Speaker 1: This next laser story is out of social cues and
Speaker 1: tipping news. The people who aren't frustrated by the tipping
Speaker 1: epidemic would argue that it's not required, or it's just
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks here and there, what's the big deal.
Speaker 2: But it does add up.
Speaker 1: New research claims the average American spends an estimated four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four dollars a year tipping more than
Speaker 1: they'd like to.
Speaker 2: Nobody get tempinished. My gosh, you know what, it's true.
Speaker 1: Twenty six percent of people say they're always or often
Speaker 1: put on the spot and get guilted into tipping extra.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to be clear, this is not the conventional
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty percent tipping out restaurants and specialized services.
Speaker 1: It's the recent optional tipping that shows up on credit
Speaker 1: card screens and digital payment apps. That's like, do you
Speaker 1: want to tip twenty five, thirty or thirty five percent?
Speaker 2: And you're like, I may self check out. I understand
Speaker 2: I'm not the concession of a movie theater anyway.
Speaker 1: The four hundred and fifty four dollars a year breaks
Speaker 1: down to an extra thirty eight bucks extra per month.
Speaker 1: One guy online said, if he goes to the counter
Speaker 1: to pick up a sandwich at his local deli and
Speaker 1: they flip the screens so we can tip, he just
Speaker 1: flips it right back. Oh really, that's they don't even
Speaker 1: do anything.
Speaker 3: Someone's not getting something good in their sandwich. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you that right now.
Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a group of people who are
Speaker 1: totally fed up with it, and you could put this
Speaker 1: guy right into that category. He refuses to pay extra
Speaker 1: money for any service given unless you hand him a
Speaker 1: let as sleep and rub his bell.
Speaker 2: Then he's paying you an extra forty percent.
Speaker 3: Simple.
Speaker 1: He's a generous little guy. And that's how means Laser
Speaker 1: Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll
Speaker 1: do it again.
Speaker 2: At the same time, On Monday, Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the morning,
