  Speaker 1: Excited for a busy weekend in super Balls. We've done
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: air show Saturday and Sunday. But something that's really cool.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's a new event and we've been talking about it
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. Here is He's Con. I'm here with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Chris and he's from Izzy's.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Jim. Are you excited for tomorrow?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Chris, I'm terrified.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: He's a little bit excited, a little bit scared, but
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know what, I am so excited.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I think this is going to be such a cool thing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So for somebody who's going, okay, Izzy's kind of I've
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: heard the name, or maybe they've not even heard the name.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Let's just kind of start from the beginning. What in
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the world is Izzy's Con?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Is Con is a free event for kids. So last
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: summer we had a lot of Peel come to our
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: store and they're lamenting about how expensive everything was for
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: their kids to do. So we decided we're going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: make the biggest free kids event a souper ball's ever seen.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be at the Convention Center tomorrow.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Fun is it to say? Tomorrow? Holy Cow?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow starts at ten am, goes until eight pm.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And there's some stuff to do.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things and a variety of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: different things to do tomorrow.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have inflatables, we have reptile exhibit. We have
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the YMCA there, we have the Boy Scouts, we have
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: we're giving away as many Pokemon cards as you can
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: fit in your pocket to anyone who shows up. We
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: have games, we have bay Blade, we have a talent show.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's so many things to do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And again, the thing that I love about this is
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a bunch of different people with unique
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: interests that are all coming together in one place. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: if you're a fan of Pokemon, you're gonna find something
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: there you love. If you've never even heard of Pokemon
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but you're a fan of bay Blade, you're gonna have fun.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: If you don't know any of those things, but you're like, hey,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I want to be in a talent show, you can
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: come out and have fun. And the thing that's neat
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is when you get there. I have a feeling you're
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: going to see some things that maybe you didn't know about,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but you're going to learn about them, and maybe you'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: become a new fan of Pokemon.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I definitely that's what's going to happen.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So again, Izzy's con is tomorrow starts at ten am,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: goes until eight pm. And we're very well aware that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: there's an air show going on that that is gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be done at five. So there's some things that are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: specifically designed in the evening tomorrow, So if you're going
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to the air show, you can still make it out
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for the talent show. We're gonna have some fun with that. Again,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun things happening if people don't have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a ticket because you gave away a bunch of free
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: tickets to get in. But what happens if I don't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have a ticket and I show up tomorrow.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Totally find there's tickets at the door.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So and the tickets at the door, how much free free?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Free ninety nine? Yeah, no, it's free to get in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So if you don't have a ticket and you're going, okay,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I know he got a ticket, and they got a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: ticket ahead of time, but I didn't get one show
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: up anyway. And the tickets are really just so when
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's done, we can count up how many tickets to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: figure out how many people. That's the toughest thing about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: doing an event like this, isn't it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We have either everyone's going to show up
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: or no one's going to show up.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna have a lot of people
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: show up because they're given away. You've been saying we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: gonna give away a million Pokemon cards and you've been
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: showing these.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Here, these boxes and boxes of cards you're giving away,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, that is wild.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So these are not all just from your story. You've
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: been getting these from all around the world, haven't you.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Piel Mendna in all year long. So yeah, it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty exciting to see and we're very curious to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: see how many we can give away.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's really a cool thing. And that's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one tiny fraction of this. And you've got a big
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: room set up for like a tournament play. What are
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the different tournaments that people are gonna.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Be playing Pokemon Gundam one piece lorcana.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're looking at my blank look on my face.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I've not heard of most of those, so you can
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: tell that's not the part that I'm excited about. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's not because I think it's bad. I just don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: know it. I'm excited for tomorrow, so I'll be introduced
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to those things and maybe I'll be a big would
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you call.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It Lorna Lorkana?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a Disney card game.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'll be a big lorcana guy after tomorrow.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But come on out, be a part of this, be
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a part of history. This is the first time this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: has ever happened. It's a free event at the Sooux
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Falls Convention Center. It's called Izzy's Khan and it's being

  Speaker 1: And is it going kind of how you expected or
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: way better than you expected.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's hard to imagine how welcoming the city of Sioux
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Falls was and how excited our customers are to hang
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: out with us every weekend.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And you guys are from Sioux Falls, but you brought

• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to figure things out, and they're buying cards or they're
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: selling cards, and it's just been a really fun thing
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to see what an impact this has made in Sioux Falls.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I mean, we never thought in
• 4:44
