## Resource

This week, we’re catching up on the couple who climbed the Empire State Building for a stunt last week. Then, we’re headed to Rocket City, USA, to see a very special rocket. From there, we’re headed to the video game aisle, where things could start looking a little scary for gamers, as equipment they love might soon be disappearing. An expert will explain why we can blame AI for it. After we check out video games, we’re also stopping by the toy aisle to get a stern warning about the viral squishy, sensory toys that are sending kids to the hospital. Featuring audio from WWJ Newsradio in Detriot, Own the Road with Kelly and Bob out of KRLD 1080 in Dallas, WBEN News and Talk in Buffalo and the Dana & Parks Show out of Kansas City.
