  Speaker 2: Con number forty that takes place this year. It's dragon
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Con number twenty five for me. The DRAGONCN Pregame Show
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: will be on radio on about two hundred radio stations
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: around Georgia and spreading over into nearby states. It will
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: also be on the dragon Con Pregame Show podcast. It
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: is powered by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And we'll get you ready for the convention and another
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: little conversation about that a little bit later in the show.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: All right, So let's begin our Friday.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The way we do with some positive news. And this
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: is a pretty cool story. Over the last thirty year years,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Rashid Lazrek has been running a specialty shoe store at
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: East London called rich Collection Italia. His customers have gotten
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: older and online shopping has gotten more popular, so Rashid
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: has endured bumpy times in his business and was ready
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to close the shop for good. Then something flipped overnight, though,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: when his daughter posted a TikTok video featuring the shop's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: vintage Y two K kitten heels, a pair she realized
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: would appeal directly to younger shoppers. Video racked up three
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand views in hours, and business boomed at Rich
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Collection Italia. People were lined up in the street outside
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the shop and many potential customers waiting for two hours
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just to get inside thanks to a simple social media
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: post done by his daughter appealing to a younger clientele.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: The ultimate payoff came when Rashid tore down his closing
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: sign to applause from a crowd of waiting customers. I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like this story because this is a daughter doing something
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that she thought, Hey, I got an idea, Dad, let's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: do this. I don't even know if she told him,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: she just did it and saved the business. How about
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: this one? A Pennsylvania mom turning her backyard into an
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: ultimate toddler paradise, constructing a tyke town packed with over
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: thirty vintage playhouses, themed neighborhoods, and.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Real paved roads.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Jade Hoban started the project in April after her two
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: young sons kept fighting over a single plastic playhouse that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: they found on the side of the road. What began
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: as a hunt on Facebook marketplace quickly snowballed when she
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: stumbled upon a cellar with a massive trove of vented
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Little Tikes and Step two toys.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: With the help of.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Her grandfather, who hauls the playhouses in exchange for dairy
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Queen chili dogs, Jade is building out themed areas like
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a whimsical mushroom forest, a pirate beach, even an area
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: fifty one. The viral project has caught the eye of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: social media fans and toy manufacturers themselves, who've donated additional cottages,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: water tables, and ride on cars to complete the backyard town.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It's got to be all the rage in the neighborhood.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I like it. Good stuff there, nice.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Use of things that somebody's throwing out, and to be
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: able to take it and sort of come up with
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: some kind of sustainability project with it. It's good and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: something for kids in the neighborhood. To enjoy. All right,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: let's get to some strange and bizarre news from around
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the world. We'll start in Florida today, where a man
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: faces felony charges out after authorities say he threatened two
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: REPO workers who were trying to tow away his truck.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Deputies say fifty four year old Clifford Dean Duval was
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: not happy that his truck was being repossessed, so he
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: climbed into the vehicle, grabbed a tomahawk, and approached the workers.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: At one point, he even used the weapon to strike
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the tow cable. Workers told investigators they feared for their safety,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: according to deputies. Duval later admitted he intended to scare
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: them into stopping the repossession. He was arrested and charged
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and is being held on a total bond of thirty
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. I don't know if there's any charge of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: cultural appropriation or anything like that, but it's you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: it's always possible that that could have happened, right Maybe
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. A Vermont man faces a misdemeanor charge
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: after police say he faked a series of threatening text
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: messages in order to avoid having to do the time warp.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Police and Essex say that they began investigating after twenty
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: six year old Kenneth Grenier reported receiving threatening and harassing
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: texts related to his planned community theater production of The
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Rocky Horror Picture Show. Because the nature of the messages
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and uncertainty about their source, the production got shut down.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Investigators later determined that the Internet address used to create
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the phone numbers behind the messages was linked to Grenier's home,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: fully say, Grenier eventually admitted he created the virtual texting
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: account and sent the messages to himself. According to investigators,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Grenier said he wanted a way to step away from
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the production because of difficulties he was having with members
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of the cast and crew. Grenier was issued a citation
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: on a misdemeanor charge of making a false report to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: law enforcement. Just cancel the show, I mean, just cancel
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the show. Probably thought he was coming up with a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: clever way to do it, and then he just dug
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: in deeper and deeper, and.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: A Spider Man movie screening in Columbia came to an
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: abrupt halt due to a gas leak from an audience member, it's.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: That kind of gas.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: According to reports, audience members watching Spider Man Brand New
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Day fled into the lobby midway through the film after
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: what witnesses described as an extremely rotten smell allegedly caused
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by a moviegoer's flatulence. Screening itself wasn't canceled, but many
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: fans chose not to return. The culprit never identified, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: some even speculated it may have been a prank involving
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a stink bomb.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Either way, the.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Bizarre incident quickly went viral online, with social media users
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: joking that the theater's real villain was any of Spider
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Man's enemies.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Oh no, whoever dealt it?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they say stink bomb. I wonder about
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the spray. That spray's pretty vicious as well.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: But I don't know. The movie was good.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think I would have just stuck it out, held
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: my nose and stuck it out. Or that meme with
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the whoever's farting, please stop? That's on an airplane, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: maybe just yell that out. I guess, all right. Another Columbia,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: well it's Colombian Man was taken into custody by authorities
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: in Barcelona, Spain, for trying to smuggle cocaine into the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: country hidden under a hair piece. Airport security grew suspicious
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: because his twopey was oversized and poorly fit, leading them
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to believe that they needed more than.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Just fashion police to deal with the situation.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: They asked the man, whose name was not released, to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: remove his wig, and when he did, they found a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: bag containing a kilo of coke taped to his head.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I don't have any like.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: First hand experience with a kilo of cocaine. Let me
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: just say that I've seen it in movies and I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: know you know, two point two pounds, right is a kilo,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So I know about what it would be, about what
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the size of it would be, and I've seen it
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in like I said, movies and TV show. I watched
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the shield for crying out loud. That's a lot to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: hide under a two pay. A police statement said there's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: mock controls.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: All right, and back to Flora.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: A retiree found a unique way to flock off to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: authorities by blocking flock surveillance cameras with a twelve foot
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: long pool skimmer. Carl Gunn got mad at the camera,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: so he decided to get even and in doing so
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: in a way that's completely legal. He grabbed his lounge
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: chair and a beverage and sat down holding the skimmer,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: which has a sign reading down with flock cameras to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: block view of the flock camera. Seventy seven year old
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: says he decided to go on this quest because Flock Safety,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the company behind the license plate readers, is collecting data
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: on everyday drivers without permission and turning a profit doing so.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: He's been approached by police on more than one occasion,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: but by standers stepped in to defend him, leading the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: cops to leave without taking any action.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen a number of postings creative ways
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to deal with those flock cameras, and you know, I
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: don't know how many of them are legal, but this
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: one certainly seems like a solid option for dealing with them.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: A woman who got cold feet on the eve of
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: her wedding responded by turning up the heat with a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fire that she started using feminine hygiene products. Lenita Moreno
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was supposed to wed her fiance at a Latter Day
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Saints church but started to have second thoughts, so she
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: headed to a nearby ace hardware store, where she stole
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: two lighters. She took them back to the place of
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: worship and set a fire using some tampons. Authority say
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the fire caused one hundred and eight thousand dollars in damages.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I know it might not have been her intention, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a hate crime too, isn't it. Moreno,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: who is known as Tessa Moran, is being held at
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the Davis County Jail. A district court judge denied bail,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: saying that she was a clear and convincing evidence that
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: she would constitute a substantial danger to any other individual
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: or to the community, or is likely to flee jurisdiction
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: of the court if released on bail. Moreno, who is
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: from Wyoming, was found to be deceptive, continually deceptive, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: took drastic steps to hide her lies. Police allege Lenita
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: did not obtain a marriage license for her own wedding
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: that was to occur the following day after the fire,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: but had lied, stating that she had. There's some other
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: stuff going on here, you know, there's some serious other
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: things going on here besides just I don't want to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: get married. There just seems to be I'm no expert.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not a psychologist. I'm not a therapist. I'm not
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a psychiatrist. I'm not a brainologist. I'm just telling you
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that there seems to be more going on here than
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: just a little cold feet.
• 11:58

  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get

  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: those as well. Five eight forty five hundred seven O

  Speaker 3: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: If you have ever wanted to get a tattoo, but
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the thought of getting jabbed over and over and over
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: again by a needle is the thing that kept you
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: from doing it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well, here's some news.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: There's a new invention from a British startup that could
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: be changing things. The company is called cipher X. They
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: say that they have developed the world's first paint sorry
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: painless not painless, painless permanent tattoo system. I guess it
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: is a type of paint rights ink, so it's not
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: really paint. The procedure uses a patch covered microscopic needles
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that deliver tattoo pigments into the upper layers of the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: rather than using a traditional tattoo gun. Users wear the
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: patch for about fifteen minutes and the design becomes fully
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: visible within one to two days. While the tattoos are
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: permanent and require laser removal, there are some limitations. The
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: designs are currently very small. They fit within a fifteen
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: millimeters circle and are only available in black ink for now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the technology being offered only at the company's London location.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: All Right, hear me out on this. They're small. It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: on a sticker of some kind that you stick on
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: your body and then they appear soon after. Sounds like
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a temporary tattoo to me. I mean, does somebody just
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: figure out a way to make a temporary tattoo into
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a permanent tattoo?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I guess so.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, does the procedure involve a warm, wet washcloth
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: being applied to the back of it. If so, I'm
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: calling I'm calling BS on this one. But you know what,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that's what you want to do. You do it, you
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: make your money. Cipher X.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Remember when you would hear.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: As a kid that if you swallowed a seed like
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a watermelon seed, it would grow watermelon in your stomach.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: The good news is, as you probably guessed, it's not true.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Especially if you ever swallowed a seed, you know that
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: you didn't grow watermelons in there. Watermelon seeds are perfectly
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: safety eat and can actually provide nutrients like zinc, iron,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and magnesium, which support things like muscle function and overall help.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: They also contain beneficial plant compounds. The only catch is
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: that they contain ftates, which can make it harder for
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: your body to absorb certain minerals. So roasting the seeds
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: can help reduce that effect. So the next time you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: swallow watermelon seed, relax, You're not growing a garden. Might
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: be getting a little nutrition bonus. So, and we're going
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: forward into I mean, we're not there yet, but we're
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: working our way towards the fall and pumpkin spice season.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: And you know, people roast pumpkin seeds and eat them.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Who knew that you could roast watermelon seeds. Maybe that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: been a thing for a while, but I certainly didn't
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: know that that was a thing. But apparently that's the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: best way to eat them, So there you go. More
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: young adults, they say, are now living with their parents
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: than even during the pandemic. According to a new Realtor
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: dot com study that in twenty twenty five, there is
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: a record twenty five point two million Americans that were
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: under thirty five living at home, largely because of rising
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: costs and the overall cost of living have made independence
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: harder to afford. Many of those moving back aren't unemployed.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: In fact, about seventy percent of adults age twenty five
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to thirty four who live with their parents do have jobs.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Experts say, though, that wages haven't kept pace with inflation
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: while home prices, rent mortgage rates continue to climb. As
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a result, more young adults are turning to mom and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: dad's house to save money and regroup financially while they
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: work towards living on their own. I just saw recently
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the discussions about the fact that AI has not had
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a significant impact on jobs, and that it hasn't had
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a big impact on unemployment, and that people are saying
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: that everybody should not assume that that was what was happening.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Yet maybe not yet. I mean, it will ultimately have
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: an impact on jobs. It's just a matter of time.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: But this is where I think it comes into play,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: because if you are able to pay people less and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: still have them do more work thanks to AI, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: therefore ultimately create this lower pay job where you're doing
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: more work, eh, I think that should be factored into
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the equation.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's fair to just.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Go, well, it's not affecting unemployment. I think it is
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: affecting unemployment in that regard in that way, especially since
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: we never were allowed to fully recover coming out of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: COVID in the first place, once that pandemic was weaponized
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: for politics, and then people had to try to do
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: their best to come out of it, and you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: salvage a career, salvage a job, salvage a family business,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and even salvage their life. That's all kind of a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: downhill thing that's come and having an impact on all
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: of these things.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: And then you throw in the.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Fact that AI is having an effect on how much
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: work people are having to do and how much they're
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: getting paid. I think that applies at least to some degree.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: That's my opinion on it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
