Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that was really proud of himself
Speaker 1: for creating a homemade grin shoutfit that he could wear
Speaker 1: to his holiday office party. Unfortunately, though, everybody just thought
Speaker 1: he was a sun burned avocados Stories second, where we
Speaker 1: read weird news stories around the globe, just like everyone
Speaker 1: else does, except we have a laser and those other
Speaker 1: scrooges just don't. This first Laser stories out of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: thirty one year old Travis Dewey and his girlfriend drove
Speaker 1: to a Walmart the other night and parked in the
Speaker 1: fire lane. Some cops saw it and asked him to move,
Speaker 1: which he did, and then he parked in a spot
Speaker 1: thirty feet away that was reserved for only police. Now
Speaker 1: you're doing it on purpose. Yeah, there's a signpost that
Speaker 1: there and everything, but it didn't matter to Travis. He
Speaker 1: exited the vehicle and while the exact same cops watched
Speaker 1: him walk into the store whistling away. Yeah exactly. While
Speaker 1: Travis was inside, the officers looked up his plates and
Speaker 1: discovered the car he was driving had been reported stolen. Extra,
Speaker 1: he's got that swagger, okay, so they arrested Travis when
Speaker 1: he came out his girlfriend had fetan al on her,
Speaker 1: so she was taken into custody too. Yeah. In addition
Speaker 1: to the drugs, she also gave police a fake name
Speaker 1: and had an outstanding warrant for her arrest. Yeah wow. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: a local news reporter who was covering the story said,
Speaker 1: if there was a Crime for Dummies handbook, chapter one
Speaker 1: would probably be don't attract attention to yourself and spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: this guy didn't get the memo no, because he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm a superspot might is acting his next laser stories.
Speaker 1: Out of social media Central, a thirty year old woman
Speaker 1: on TikTok named Demi Skipper went viral for an e
Speaker 1: aaborrit challenge that she created called the Trade Me Project.
Speaker 1: So this was inspired from a story from a few
Speaker 1: years ago of a guy who went from a red
Speaker 1: paper clip all the way up to a past I
Speaker 1: think this is so funny because when I very first
Speaker 1: started in radio, the show I was on did this
Speaker 1: as like a radio gag. It was like really big
Speaker 1: in the radio world, like, well, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: date myself but a while ago. Yes, Demi said she
Speaker 1: was skeptical at the beginning but she was going to
Speaker 1: try it after starting with a single bobby pin, okay,
Speaker 1: and each time she traded up, the exchanges got bigger
Speaker 1: and bigger. Yeah, she was able to trade the pin
Speaker 1: for a pair of earrings, which led to a set
Speaker 1: of glasses, then a vacuum and a nice snowboard. Really
Speaker 1: really hot. Yeah, I could be a thousand dollars right now.
Speaker 1: Eventually she worked her way up to larger items like cars, tractors,
Speaker 1: and a Chipotle celebrity card worth about twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Demitrated the Chipotle card for a trailer with a fridge
Speaker 1: and Tesla solar panels that were worth around forty grand.
Speaker 1: And guess what, After a year and a half and
Speaker 1: twenty eight trades later, Demi trated those solar panels for
Speaker 1: an actual house. It's a small, modest place in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: But she plans to move there from California and go
Speaker 1: fix it up. She's actually gonna move there. That's what
Speaker 1: she says. Your whole life, I gotta get started. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants this pane I'm holding. Yeah, I want your house. No,
Speaker 1: you don't have the patience. The stories out of Florida.
Speaker 1: I've ever been to a wedding and thought, man, this
Speaker 1: would be way cooler if it was happening underwater. Well,
Speaker 1: if that is you, and you're in luck. Thanks to
Speaker 1: a Florida based business called Triton Submarines, Okay, they've developed
Speaker 1: two milestone subs that can be trained. It's formed into
Speaker 1: cocktail parties, wedding venues, and even configured for underwater casino.
Speaker 1: They say the interior space is designed to feel like
Speaker 1: a regular room rather than a submarine, and can be
Speaker 1: equipped with special lighting, a high fidelity surround sound audio system,
Speaker 1: and even air conditioning. That's really cool. I'm showing you
Speaker 1: the pictures. It seems kind of small for a wedding venue.
Speaker 1: What if you're trying it's an intimate affair for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to serve really stinky food,
Speaker 1: you know, because this is a really close space. Where
Speaker 1: do you have a giant wedding and have like twenty
Speaker 1: of those laws and everything. Set maker say, once you're
Speaker 1: under the clear giant bubble, no matter where you position yourself,
Speaker 1: all you see is the ocean surrounding you. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It doesn't look like dark, dingy submarine it's
Speaker 1: like open, gorgeous. Yeah. Plus each vehicle will be able
Speaker 1: to reach depths of six hundred and sixty feet. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you know claustrophobic. Maybe like five feet would
Speaker 1: be cool. Bring me back up. Yeah, it's kind of
Speaker 1: weird to do like the father daughter dance at a
Speaker 1: wedding inside that tiny little bubble with everybody all crowded
Speaker 1: around you, especially Florida weddings. You're the bottom of a swamp. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The special subs are also designed to be easier than
Speaker 1: ever to get in and out of, so that guests
Speaker 1: never have to worry about ruining their cocktail dresses or
Speaker 1: their party attire. Important. Yeah, this next laser story is
Speaker 1: out of Holiday Headquarters. Cosmo coined this term in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people are just learning it now.
Speaker 1: It's a dating trend called snow globing. Do you guys
Speaker 1: remember talking about this. That's where you shake your date
Speaker 1: really hard and falls off. That's when somebody uses the
Speaker 1: holidays to make you think your relationship is more serious
Speaker 1: than it really is. I don't care who knows. Is
Speaker 1: it because they really want a good present? Is that
Speaker 1: why they're doing well? Yeah? Like they might get you
Speaker 1: a really romantic a Smith gift or even let you
Speaker 1: meet their family. But then once the holidays are over,
Speaker 1: things cool down really fast. Yeah, I didn't really want
Speaker 1: you to meet my mom. I just didn't want to
Speaker 1: hear her nagging me about to being single again this season.
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's malicious, but it can also happen by
Speaker 1: accident if you just get carried away with all the
Speaker 1: romance of the holiday. So that sort of goes in
Speaker 1: hand with cuffing season. People look for somebody to hook
Speaker 1: up with until the weather gets nice again and then
Speaker 1: they move on. Okay, so there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of tears in January. It is what you're saying, Jeffrey, definitely, Okay.
Speaker 1: Don't know this guy is looking forward to the end
Speaker 1: of cuffing season because for him, that's the start of
Speaker 1: the luffing. So I don't know that SA means the
Speaker 1: Laser Stories has come to an end. For the day,
Speaker 1: We'll do it again, same time on Friday.
