What is the theme of this episode of Laser Stories?

Dr. Laurie Santos 0:00
Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, the Happiness Lab, is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty. Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need. And they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate.

Radhi Devlukia 1:50
Hi, I'm Radhi Devlukia and I am the host of A Really Good Cry podcast. This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods.
Unknown 2:05
Talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who are traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated.

I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built the cultural empire, the Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential cities in the world. The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man. Each episode explores a different chapter of Atlanta's rise, featuring conversations with Ludacris, Will Packer, Pastor Jamal Bryant, DJ Drama, and more. The full series is available to listen to now. Listen to Atlanta Ears on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's the radio segment that's finally making breakfast practical again with the new Wi-Fi toaster router. What? Now your toaster is a hot spot in more ways than one. So dumb. Zoom scroll as you heat your roll with 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 bagel bros just don't. This first laser story is out of Sweetwater, Texas.
Unknown 3:32
Oh.
Mike Della Rocha 3:33
The other day, a DoorDash driver named Neil Cooper made a very strange delivery to a local motel. The complete list of items hasn't been released, but word has it the delivery included trash bags, zip ties, bleach, a hatchet, and a unicorn pool floatie.
Dr. Priyanka Wally 3:54
Is that just because when you murder, you want to do it for fun? Yeah.
Mike Della Rocha 3:58
Well, was the unicorn pool float added as a distraction for the other kidnapping slash murdery tools? Not really sure, but that didn't work on Neil.
Dr. Laurie Santos 4:08
I see.
Mike Della Rocha 4:08
Because he saw that and immediately called the cops. How are people doing crime so lazy? Okay. Like, they can't go out and get their own supplies anymore.
