We got the scoop! Apparently, the owner's son spotted a going-out-of-business sale for these giant cones in a magazine. For the past 14 years, it's been a giant sprinkle on the map of Clyde, OH. That's what we call a sweet spot!

The Lights Are On ...
... but Todd's not home. Thomas Edison is, though. He's in the house. Not literally, mind you. That's just a lame expression.
In all seriousness, Todd's been here before. He was super pumped about re-visiting the past in every sense. And when it comes to Thomas Edison, Todd is a big fan. It's like, when he heard we were driving through Milan, a lightbulb went off. Ha ha! Get it? A lightbulb! Classic.

Dragon Us Around
We initially wanted this guy to fire off his "Zoning Enforcer." Turns out, the gigantic cannon does not actually work ... yet. That's probably for the best.
Instead, we got a sneak peek at a new creation. It'll get kids all ready for the holidays! Just wait 'til they see it all lit up, blowing smoke and gnashing its jagged metal teeth!

Chess Mates
Todd: "If you're playing chess in Australia, is it confusing?"
Tony: "What do you mean?"
Todd: "They'd be all, like, 'Check, mate.' And you'd be like, 'No, that's just
check.' And they'd go, 'Yea, s'what I said. Check, mate.' And you'd go, 'No-'"
Tony: I get it.

Ya' Big Bully
This bull has caught the attention of passing motorists since the late 1970s. We're told it was initially installed along U.S. 224 to entice visitors off the highway and onto main street in Gilboa ... but even the guy who PAID for the bull says he's not sure why they chose a bull.
