Speaker 1 (00:05):
It's the radio segment that's teamed up with our own
Brooke Fox to launch a brand new charity called Break
a Wish No where children in need make a request
and then Brooke personally visits them to say no, that's
not gonna.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Happen for you.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It is so terrible.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I would.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well she will pose in a picture with them though
after they signed the NDA. It's Laser Stories, the segment
where we read weird news stories around the globe, just
like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those
other dream dashers just jot this first lazer.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He's your idea. I don't know why you're hating on it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
This first laser story is out of North Carolina, who
last month, forty nine year olds Gary Scholar was about
to go into a Longhorn steakhouse when he had the
idea to bring his dog in with him. And by
his dog, I don't mean a service animal or a
longtime companion. This dog was a mutt that Gary found
wandering outside in the steakhouse parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You bring the food out to the dog, don't bring
the dog into a restaurant. I can't stand it's a
service dog, right, I'm like yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Once inside, an employee told Gary that feeding his dog
at the table was a health code violation, so he
would not be able to continue doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I can see Gary's response.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He chucked a plate at the waiter's head. He then
allegedly started screaming obscenities and insulting other workers. There, you
scavengers just work for big tips and free food.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Are you guys on this maniac side movie Lady in
the Tramp. Someone's got to feed the dog.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So they told Gary to leave, and he threw another
porcelain play money.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
He is attacking people.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He must have thrown it pretty hard, too, because this
time an employee ended up going to the hospital needing
seven stitches to close the wound.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Even the dog is like chill bro So.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Cops arrested Gary.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
He's facing a charge of assault that inflicted a serious injury.
Plus they can't find the dog anywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was embarrassed by Gary's behavior, it ran away.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Gary told them he's a steakhouse dog now, but none
of the officers knew what that meant.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let's go your next laser story. Out of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
A sixty four year old man named Trenton Dick for
has not been Don't laugh, don't laugh. Trenton has not
been the greatest neighbor to people on his block.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, he's mad because he can't figure out what it's for.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You tell me. He's acting like a dick.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
For the reason why he hasn't been the best neighbor
is a few months back, he installed train horns on
his property, which blast multiple times a day.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh my god, Apparently there's somebody in my neighborhood that
has a train whistle, like an old one that kids
can walk by.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And two.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That's cool, but there's another lady protesting it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, it's a big thing on our neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
App Well, the thing with these train horns is they
keep going until they run out of air.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's what they run on, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Legit train horn which has a range of more than
three miles. Neighbors have been calling the cops for months,
but up until this week, they didn't seem to do anything.
Oh my god, they come out, talk to Trenton and
then just leave. Finally the local news got involved and
they spoke to him. He admitted he's doing it. Intentionally
(04:00):
because he has a personal beef with his neighbor and
their leaf blower.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, so he's gonna get blow.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He claims he's been harassed by their leaf blowing sounds
for years and the police won't help him, and when interviewed,
Trenton said, I just want justice to be served. I
do sincerely apologize to my neighbors. I'm honest to God.
I'm so sorry to discomfort you people in your homes,
but I just don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
What else to do. He then proceeded to blow the
horn again.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Good night everyone, And after that, Trenton was arrested, charged
and released, and neighbors are hoping the noise will now stop,
especially because yesterday officials seized the train horns from his property.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Jack No, Jake breaks allowed in my hometown. What you know,
it's for semi trucks.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh talking about her new father. And let's go to
your X Lazer story.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Out of the study of sleep, do you or a
friend or a loved one have sleep apnea?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't, but I know people. My best friend has
to travel with a seatpap machine.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, not cute either.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
If you do, you might want to start blowing into
a conch shell.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Like a seashell. Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The study out of India broke people into two groups,
conch shell blowers and deep breathers and are you excited.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That you get into the conch shell?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Grow?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Do you so? You inhale exhale launch?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
They had each group practice at least fifteen minutes a day,
five days a week.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh hey, you're getting good at this contract.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
The shell heads I'm pretty sure that's what they called
them in the study. They vastly improve their sleep over
the deep breathers.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Wow, help train their breathing. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The people who blew into the shell daily had five
fewer interruptions during their sleep better overall, and saw a
thirty four percent drop in their daytime tired dess.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I do imagine a conch shell person living next door
to that train.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, he's like, I'm trying to sleep. He's like, okay, good.
So what did the experts say about it?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They think it's possible that this actually could be effective
because blowing on it helps strengthen the muscles in your
face and your throat. But they won't be swapping people's
seapap machines out for seashells.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Anytime soon. Sound like Molana, at.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Least not till more studies come out proving the conch
shell is for real.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
D I love it. I think it's cool and it's nature.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, solving it and speaking of a guy who likes
blowing into random objects, oh my God, said he believes
everyone should blow into a knee high boot every single Sunday,
not for the health benefits, just for.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The thrill of it. And that sound means Laser Stories
has come to an end for the day. We'll do
it again at same time on Wednesday.
