It's the radio segment that's helping parents get their children to school on time with
the
new carpool catapult. Instead of driving them 20 minutes each morning, just launch both of your kids from your front lawn directly into the school playground.
No pickup line anymore.
What is Laser Stories, and what weird news does the segment cover?
No,
education's a journey, so why not make it ballistic 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 kitty cannons just
don't.
This first Laser Story is out of Arizona. 23-year-old Noah Ross was driving a company truck around town to make deliveries when he stopped off at a coffee place called Bikini Beans
and took
photos of the baristas.
Oh!
Why was an Arizona delivery driver fired after photographing Bikini Beans baristas?
It's already creepy you go, but taking the pictures? I mean, they're working. Well, if you didn't know,
Bikini Beans is kind of like a caffeinated Hooters.
Well, it's a lot more scantily clad
than
Hooters, Jeff.
Oh, you've been?
Oh, yeah. I
mean,
when you're in dire need of a coffee, I'll take anyone that can make a good coffee. Absolutely.
Brooke just needs one more coffee to hit seven and get a free one on her
rewards card. It's just... It's awkward when the windows go the full length of the girl's body. Can't we just do chest? I've never
been to one.
I know it sounds silly,
but I've literally never driven through
one. Well, Noah thought it'd be fun to send the pictures that he took to his managers with the caption, look at what I'm doing on the
clock. I don't know. I bet there's one manager that's like, yeah. He's like, where are you at? Be right there.
Well, they weren't like that, Brooke.
