Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, So apparently there was a case of a
missing ice cream cone.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Mikayla.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I did not know anything about this because I really
haven't done much of anything dealing with mister kay and
Randy's family and everything, right, do tell?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
So?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, I am. And you know I've been. I've been
in Kentucky and I was on my way home or
maybe it was last night, and our good friend Mike
Todd over there, the guy who you know everything about
blue Jackets with. I said, oh my gosh, this is
Mike's store. And Mike, because he owns a dairy queen,
he owns a dairy queen and someone and he had
(00:37):
pictures of people taking this lit ice cream cone, the
cone that we all know from DQ growing up. I
don't know what it's made of, but it was gone,
and he was like, I'm gonna find these guys. And
on the top of my Facebook feed was his fat
post saying we need to find these guys.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So joining us now is Mike Todd, who was on
a mission to find this ice cream before Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Now, how big is this ice cream cone? Mike?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
How big?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Well, So the funny thing was we didn't notice it
until the until the afternoon and we're like, hey, wait,
where's our exit sign and our exit sign it's it's
a custom made it looks like an ice cream cone.
So it was missing and we're like, what the heck
happened here? So we have a security system and we
(01:30):
were able to find out exactly when it was stolen,
and the knuckleheads who took it were we're not smart
enough to realize that I had a camera exactly where
they were and so so, so we posted on social media,
and sure enough, within about forty five minutes, I started
(01:50):
getting messages, hey, we think we know who at least
one of these guys is. Hey we think we know
who both of these guys are. And by the next
so we get a anonymous phone call saying, hey, that
cone's going to get returned to you by the end
of the night. And sure enough, my wife and I
(02:13):
kept checking in on the videos and the cone magically reappeared.
And so but I mean, we've still got we got
some repairs we got to do because they did a
lot of damage and whatnot. But we're we're in discussions
with the individuals how they can repay us for the
damage done.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, hopefully they will repay.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The power of community, Mike. I mean the fact that
you put up the beacon on social media and then
all these people started calling that is proof of community.
And this anonymous call these guys. I'm not going to
have you out them. But how old are the individuals
we're talking about? Are they high school?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
They're they're not, They're not that old. And if you're
pals with me on Facebook, you know I've got the videos.
I still have the videos up there. At the two
individuals who.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Did it, I've seen it. I couldn't I just couldn't
tell age.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So what are their parents saying?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, the one we've we've talked to one of the
parents and they're like, yeah, we're we we want to,
you know, make this write and things that switch, which
I'm happy about, you know. Yes, And this is not
the first time this has happened. This is about the
fourth or fifth time we've had this thing stolen. But
normally what happens is they'll just steal the top of
(03:27):
the sign, which is the ice cream with the curl
on top. But these guys like stole the entire thing,
and I'm surprised they didn't get electrocuted. Oh my god,
this thing is hooked up to elect it's hooked up
to wires and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So so I think things like that, Mike.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I think things like that start as a dare I
dare you to do this? Come on, let's do this,
you know, and then it's a no, you won't do it?
Yes I will. And I think that's how things start.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But then you look at you know, Brutus on campus
was stolen. There was the big Indian woman statue in
a gardens that was stolen years ago. They all get
returned eventually a little more.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I didn't know the ice cream cone was this popular.
I don't know you were going to tell us the
top of it's been stolen four or five times.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
But yes, that's why you have a camera there. I
take it. Well, I've got I got about twenty cameras
all all over, all over the property. So you know,
if anything happens, I always tell people, even if I'm
not there, I'm there's.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
A thing, right, Tattletale, You're always gonna tell tell you
up with Tattletale.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
That's what we need to do, Mike Todd, Well, thank you.
I was like, mindy, do you have Mike's number. I said,
I don't think I have his number in my cell
and she said, yes, we're going to text him. We're
going to see if he comes on. Your community did
come through for you? Do you want to say anything
else about that?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You know what? I just want to thank the Pickerington community.
And I mean, like I said, this thing spread like
wildfire as soon as we as soon as we posted it,
and these this is the positive thing that social media
can do. It can you can you help me out
with something? You know, this is this is something something
positive and and you know that hopefully you know, everything
(05:07):
gets resolved. But yeah, I want to thank the folks
of Pickerington, our friends on Facebook. I want to thank
the Pickerington Police that they all did a great job
helping us out to get this thing taken care of.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, we're so glad you got your ice cream back.
You got to get that code. Yes, thank us.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Hopefully it won't happen a fifth time, because this is
crazy enough. Lay off the ice cream cone of Bickerington folks.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, we got to tell you of real ice cream
you can buy.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, buy exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Go get yourself a cone, don't steal the artificial one.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Good to talk to you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Good to hear your voice.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
All right, girls, thank you, appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right, Mike, we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
What a story though. But you know what that is
the good thing about social media. It is there's a
lot of bad out there, there's a lot of good
when you share stuff like that and you can help.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And that's the culprit or get dogs adopted.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Things like that to Mike's network too, write like just
who he is with his business with DQ and who
he is just work that he does with the Blue Jackets. Yeah,
it speaks to his network too. So if you have
a good network, I think that really matters. You know
who else is really what platform is really good at this?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's TikTok to help find ice cream colne culprit.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
To help find you. Well, so you don't you are
on TikTok to watch cammy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You've told me, and to watch just funny videos and
stuff like that, Like I don't even know how to
post a video on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't even know how.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's a little more complicated than the typical Facebook or Instagram.
So yeah, on TikTok, and you know how once you
watch one video, you get more videos of that kind justly.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's why I have all these dogs.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I have an algorithm that, for some reason, from time
to time shows me videos of people looking for people
in certain scenarios. So the one that you're gonna laugh about,
I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna laugh about. I'm
gonna tell you one you'll get goosebumps about. The one
you laugh about.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Is this is on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
On TikTok, somebody who's like, hey, I was on flight
twenty three from Dallas to Chicago, and if your husband
is named Brian, I think you need to know about
the lady sitting next to him.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This is on tiptos on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And then a person will go into what was happening
with the lady on the flight and there might be
an affair going on or something like that, and they're.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like, and it's legit, it's legit.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Like I've seen this version a few times, like people
are telling on some guys on TikTok and spreading the
word that way. So that is the one that's like sad,
but it's a little funny too.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
So what's the how does it end? Does it show
you like piece by piece? Well, these comments a guy
in question.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
People start tagging people who might be the woman who
lives back in whatever the town is, right, and so
this is how this happens.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But wonder if this Brian isn't even at all associated
with and then this whole TikTok stirred up controversy that
didn't even need to happen.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
That can be trouble, yes, and I've seen multiple let's
say it's the name Brian. I don't know why I
pick that out, but like multiple Brian's who might be tagged.
But usually it's the TikTok slew thing that we hear about,
like cold cases and things like that applied to families.
The one that's really cool, which I just saw last
night and actually thought about sharing this with you. There
(08:23):
is a woman who was sitting in her car somewhere
in West Memphis, and it was her mother who'd passed away.
It was her birthday, and she went to buy her
mother's favorite cupcakes, and she went to buy her mother's
favorite car, to buy her favorite cupcakes and to get
her a card, and she wrote, dear Mom, and all
the wonderful things this mother had done for her when
(08:44):
she was living and she felt very moved to find
someone in the parking lot who was a mother to
give the cupcakes and the card to. And she was
kind of a weird experience at first, she couldn't find
anybody she really wanted to. And then this woman came
up to her and started talking to her, and she
said do you have children? And the woman said yes,
and she said, well, I really would like to give
(09:05):
this to you. And it had turned out that one
of the women women's children had died within the last year.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or two, and so, oh my god, right, so.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They hug She goes, my name is such and such,
and the woman said, my name is Jackie. And they
hugged and they parted. This woman posted on TikTok within
the last couple of days, I need to find this woman,
and she tells the whole story, says the parking lot
she was in says the woman's name was Jackie, and
she needs to find Jackie. And so the TikTok community
(09:35):
started working on this to find jack to find Jackie.
It has not happened yet, but this woman is like
crying in this video it's so this is the power
again of social media.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But then TikTok you can use and spread it on
to social media other networks like Facebook and Instagram. Oh,
I bet Jackie will be found. I bet you any
amount of money. Jack You got to keep us updated
on that.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Well, I'll I have the post. I liked the post,
and safdis you know what I.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Forgot to tell you? And this.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was back on Mother's Day when we were giving
away Coast Side tickets and we had all these people
call up and then we ran out of Coast Site tickets,
but we had.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
One extra caller. Yes, I can't think of her name
right now.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But we're like, we're out of COASTI tickets, But what
if I give you a copy of my Dear Mom book?
Because it was Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, And she's like, oh.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yes, thank you, I would love to take that book.
So then I reached out to her to get her
address so I could mail her a copy of my
Dear Mom book. Don't you know she ended up knowing
my father played bridge with my dad now and always
wanted a copy of this book.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What yeah, And so it's just.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Weird how things work out. Sometimes nothing to do with
social media. It had to do with our What Matters
show and community and community. Yeah, so here she ended
up being a bridge partner of my dad's years ago.
I was so glad that it went to somebody who
knew the family.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I love it. Yeah, speaking of community and speaking of TikTok,
I've had a piece of audio that I've saved actually
for several weeks that I want to share today because
I think it's about bridging things and maybe relationships in
your life.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, if you think it's too late, maybe there's Republicans
that you just don't think you can get along with,
or Democrats that you just don't think you can get
along with.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Or other obstacles that you think, you know what, I'm
done with those people? Are you really? Is there a
way to bridge that together?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
We think there might be, And you have to listen
to this coming up next on What Matters
