When you're high, you feel different. You think different, you talk different, you draw different, you listen to music different, but you probably knew that. Problem is, you also drive different, and not in a good way. That's why driving high is illegal everywhere. So if you're high, just don't drive. Make a plan to get a sober ride. Because if you feel different, you drive different. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

It's the radio segment that's making your holiday gatherings way less boring with the new Christmas beer bong. Cheer on Grandma Mabel as she takes seven eggnogs to the dome in under five seconds. Thanks to Laser Stories. Oh, my God, I really got a great Grandma Mabel who loved eggnog. Mabel, Mabel, Mabel. 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 Yuletide Jagermeisters just don't. This first Laser Story is out of Salt Lake City. A female DoorDash driver named Courtney with a K was caught on camera dropping off a bag of food, taking a photo for the app, and then spraying something on it before leaving.
This, like, signature perfume scent. Courtney with a K was here. It seemed like it. The customer who didn't know that happened says they'd ordered $30 worth of Arby's. I know, $30 of Arby's sounds like it's for a wedding of 200, but he swears it was just for him and his wife.
Wow. Yo, the roast beef sandwich is brick. You were with me on this. So fire.
My kids have never eaten there, but they love screaming, we have the meat. Every time we drive by a sign. Anyway, not long after starting the meal, the woman started having trouble breathing. Oh my gosh. Then she got sick. That's an old allergy. What did she spray? They inspected the food in the bag and realized it might have been tampered with, and that's when they looked back at their security footage and saw Courtney with a K spraying their food with pepper spray. Ain't nobody got time for that. Like mace?
