• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and we'll have some content for you from DragonCon. We
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: try to do our game day editions of the show,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: or in some cases the post-game versions of the pre-game show.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But powered by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and of course we appreciate them for sponsoring our DragonCon
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: coverage every year. All right, so we get started today
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: with some positivity, some positive news, some uplifting news. We
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: have a couple of dog stories. Dog stories especially appeal
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to me because I'm a dog guy. I have a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: fantastic dog. I had a dog before this dog who
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: got away from us for one day of his entire life.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Like from the moment we got him, he got away
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: one day. And it's a fantastic story. And I should
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: share that full story at some point on here. But
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: for now, I'll just tell you that we got him back.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Miraculous story about getting him back. And he was gone
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a day. One of these stories is a story about
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a dog that was gone for a really long time.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And while I'm happy the dog came back, there's a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: sadness to this. So we'll begin with that story. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this was in a Chicago suburb, and a woman got
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: reunited with her dog after 12 years. Vanessa Antonio lost
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: her dog, Floor, on Chicago's north side back in 2014
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and thought, I'm never going to see my dog again.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Floor was just four years old at the time. Uh,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Antonio said, or it's Antonino, I guess I said Antonio,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: but it's Antonino. There's an extra in there. Uh, I said,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I had not fully given up on her, but it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: like just so many years had passed. And I was like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever see her again. Uh, some
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: severe storms rolled through the region, uh, recently and floor
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: was found wandering near a roadway in Gary, Indiana and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: taken to animal control volunteers with microchip hunters and trace
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the dog's outdated microchip information back to Antonino. When they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: were reunited a week ago, Antonino says she broke down
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in tears, calling it the return of a piece of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: her heart. Animal advocates say the remarkable story highlights the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: importance of microchipping pets and keeping contact information up to date. Now,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: this is obviously, this is great. It's a great story.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I got no, like this is remarkable. And I know
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: this woman wanted to see her dog. And the dog,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, still wanted to see her. My heart breaks
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: for the 12 years. I just think about how hard
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that has to be. That's a lifetime that this dog
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was just gone. So I'm glad they're going to get
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: some time together. They get the book in, the start
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and the finish. But it just makes me a little
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: sad knowing how long they were apart. But I have
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to look at the positive. And this is a positive.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to look at that. But anyway, that's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: our first story. Next, another dog story. This is an
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: adoption story, and it's getting a lot of attention online.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: A TikTok creator named Rachel calls herself an animal influencer.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: visited a shelter and asked to meet its least wanted dog.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And it was a pit bull named Nancy who had
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: received no adoption applications. This is a positive story, but again,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: there's this element of sadness. How sad is that? So
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Nancy arrived at the shelter after her owner died and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: was depressed. Rachel decided she was going to visit Nancy
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and take her on weekly outings. She shared videos that
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: showed a playful, affectionate dog who loved toys, kisses, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: time at the park. She also helped work on Nancy's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: training to boost her chances of finding a home. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: videos gave viewers a completely different picture of the shelter
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: dog's personality. And after weeks of attention and care, Nancy
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: was finally adopted. The story sparked conversations about pit bulls,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: which are... They have a bad rap. That's the best
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: way to say it in U.S. animal shelters, so... Yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it's a great story. Great effort that went in. Just
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: a sweet-looking dog. And it looks a little like my dog,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: just a bigger, you know, as a pit bull. My
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: dog is not. I have a terrier. But you get
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the idea. What a sweet story and great work by
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: this woman, Nancy, doing that. All right, let's get to
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: some strange and bizarre news from around the world. We
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: start in Florida. It's just fun to start in Florida.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: At a Steak and Shake, an employee making the restaurant
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: location regret reviving its classic car op service after he
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: delivered an order that was too disgusting to digest. 25-year-old
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Artavian Crummety. What a name. Facing an indecent exposure charge
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: after police say he approached a customer's vehicle while delivering food.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and was exposing himself through his pants zipper at the time.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Authorities say surveillance video supported the customer's account of the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: incident because, you know, just saying it, just making the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: accusation wasn't horrifying enough for them to go, oh, we
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: got to go talk to Crummety. But they checked the cameras,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and Crummety arrested on a misdemeanor charge, booked into jail,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and then later released on bond. Uh.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I want to say this,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: but I don't. I mean, maybe he thought he was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: representing Steak and Shake. You know, maybe. I don't know
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: what he was doing with his fly open. Authorities in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Indiana warning residents around Madison and Hancock counties to be
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: on the lookout for a couple of escaped lions.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yes. Lions. Lions.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: According to the Madison County Sheriff's Department, a resident reported
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: seeing what appeared to be a 300-pound lioness wearing a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: blue harness along with a smaller cub. A drone operator
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: also reportedly spotted the animals. Deputies, state police, ground crews,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and thermal drones spent hours searching the area but have
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: not been able to confirm the sightings. At one point,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: officers thought they had located the animals only to discover
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: they were hogs. There's a difference. Between lions and hogs.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get some of those real big hogs.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: But in this case, they were hoping maybe, maybe this
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is our lion we're looking for. No, it's hogs. It
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: happens sometimes, you know. Sometimes you can confuse them for lions.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The search continued, though, and authorities asking hunters and residents
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to check trail cameras and report any possible sightings. Officials
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: say no zoo sanctuaries or permitted owners in the area
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: have reported missing any of their lions. So, I mean,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good thing or a
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: bad thing, is it? They're not missing their lions. So
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: where did the, lions come from? You know, if that's
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: not what's going on. So anyway, good luck tracking down
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: those lions. Let's go to another naked guy. A family
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: in Texas got a shocking surprise when a DoorDash order arrived.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And the delivery driver was naked.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: See?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And it's not a steak and shake. That's not what
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: was being delivered. Not at all. I don't know. Maybe
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: it was. It doesn't say. A Houston father says he
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: checked his ring doorbell camera after getting a delivery notification
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and saw the driver allegedly dropping off the food completely starkers.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That's how they say it in Australia. They say it
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a little differently with the accent, but you get the idea. Starkers.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: The father threw the food away and reported the incident
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: at DoorDash. The company refunded the order, called the behavior abhorrent,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and says the driver has been permanently removed from the platform. DoorDash,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and I guess he went on to work at Steak
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and Shake. The DoorDash says they do not tolerate its
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: drivers delivering food naked and are prepared to assist law
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: enforcement if needed. Yeah, I would think that's against company policy.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You know, do we? I mean, do we have to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: say that? Does that have to be a company policy?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Do we have to say, we don't, we discourage it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: We just discourage it. We don't like naked. Yeah. All right.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: We had Starkers, so let's do an Australian story. An
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Australian couple got a shocking surprise when a costume they
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: ordered for their daughter's book week parade at school was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: less fictional literary character and more supreme leader. The 10-year-old
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: had ordered a Mary Poppins outfit, and she opened the package,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and it was Kim Jong-un. The girl's mother complained to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the retailer, saying her daughter was absolutely gutted to get
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a North Korean leader instead of the imaginative and adventurous
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: nanny Mary Poppins. The costume company Costume Box later explained
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that the two shipping labels had accidentally been switched. The
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: company quickly sent out the correct Mary Poppins costume by
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: express post and said it should arrive in time for
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the big parade. I would hope so. That's a pretty
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: big swing and a miss. You know, that's not a good, like, oops.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, not that you're, you know, wanting an oops
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: in this case. You want to get the right item delivered,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: but that's a pretty big oops. And who's ordering Kim
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Jong-un costumes? Is this specifically for a costume party? Is
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: this for Halloween? What are we doing exactly? What is
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the story here in this particular case? And finally, a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: 20-year-old Phoenix man faces a felony criminal damage charge after
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: police say he destroyed a photo radar camera after it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: captured him speeding in a school zone. Don't act like
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you haven't thought about it. I'm not saying it's okay.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying just don't act like you haven't thought
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: about it. Investigators say that Brandon Ribadoniera, it's a mouthful,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I know, was caught speeding, triggering the camera. Police say
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: he then pulled over, knocked the camera down, smashed it
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: repeatedly with a rock, and then drove away. Authorities say
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he later returned with a truck and tried to drag
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the camera down the street using a strap, causing more damage.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately for him, you see where this is going, don't you?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: The incident was recorded on camera. That camera. Police arrested
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Ribba De Niera a week later, and officials estimate the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: damage at more than $ 47, 000. How many speeding tickets that
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: thing's got to write? Pay for $ 47, 000? Yeah, just pay
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the ticket. I mean, first of all, were you speeding
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: in the school zone? If you were.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a speeding ticket. It's not a felony.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It's a felony when you destroy it with a rock
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and drag it down the street. Today's show brought to

  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 15:09

• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial...
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: or residential, maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: More West Carroll Morning Show right after the break. All right, parents,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: have you had the talk with your kids? You know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the talk. No, not that talk. There's another talk, apparently,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that some parents... don't want to talk about with their kids.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: A new survey has found that the money talk can
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: be even more uncomfortable than the sex talk with the kids.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: According to financial wellness company Acorns, 57% of parents say
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: that discussing money with their kids is harder than talking
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: about sex, drugs, or alcohol. One in three parents admit
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: they've avoided the topic altogether because of their own financial
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: struggles or complicated relationships with money. Experts say that money
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: remains a taboo subject for many adults, which makes it
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: even tougher to bring up with kids. But also warn
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that avoiding the conversation can leave children unprepared. A survey
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: found that 60% of kids are already familiar with buy-now-pay-later services,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and nearly a third think financing groceries that way is
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: a smart financial move. Gotta have both of these talks
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: with your kids. Both of them. You can't just rely
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: on school to take care of both of those talks. Hey,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: let's talk about party schools as kids are back in
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: college and things. According to Niche.com's 2027 rankings, there's a
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: school at the top spot of the most partying school.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: The school where people party the most. And you want
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to guess which one it is. I.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, folks in Georgia and people who've sent their
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: kids to the University of Georgia, because you're represented in
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the top 10. Number eight, University of Georgia, by the way.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Florida State, number one. Tulane, number two. I mean, both
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: kind of seem, you know, Tulane, New Orleans. a lot
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: of partying takes place there. It doesn't seem like a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: crazy stretch there. In any school in Florida, there's a
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: possibility for that. University of Wisconsin at Madison is number
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: three on the list. And I guess that's like one
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: of those beer states. That makes sense. University of Dayton, USC.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Penn State, Ohio State, and then Georgia, West Virginia, University
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign rounds out the top 10 there. Yesterday
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we talked about, or two days ago, this week, I
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: know it was this week, we talked about the fact
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: that some people look at Ozempic and some of those
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: GLP-1 drugs as cheating drugs. You know, they say, oh,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: it's cheating if you are not dieting the old-fashioned way.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And that's what they say. Some people, not everybody. Well,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: we have this for you today as a new study
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: suggesting that some men struggle to lose weight because they
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: don't connect with the traditional dieting and they see it
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: as feminine. Um, yeah, it's a weird thought, isn't it?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Researchers found many men see diets as something geared more
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: towards women. And, uh, the study said that the word
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: diet often makes them think of restriction, fad plans, quick
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: fixes that don't last, um, that, uh, instead they were
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: motivated by things like competition and teamwork and having someone
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: in their corner. It's interesting. In fact, many said support
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: from their spouse, partner, or mentor made a big difference
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: when trying to lose weight. Researchers found that encouragement and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: accountability often helped men stay on track more than strict
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: dieting rules. So basically, it may not be that men
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to be healthier. It may just be that
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: they respond better to coaching, support, and a game plan
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: rather than being told that they're on a diet. I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: think that's the reason that the zero in the drinks
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: is a bigger thing than diet because when somebody says
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: they're going to have a diet Coke versus they're going
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to have a Coke zero, I think it just has
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a different mindset to go with it. I think, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: think that's where things are very well could be. That'll
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks
