Publix "Deals", Spirit Halloween and LOLs

Amy Goodgame & Marty Booth Episode 22

Who knew that grocery shopping could be both a battlefield and a treasure hunt? We kick off October with a playful take on Publix sales strategies, revealing the mysteries behind BOGO deals and how not to get lost in the cereal aisle. Ever felt like you're paying a ransom for your beloved breakfast staples? We share some laughter and tips on navigating those tricky offers without needing a calculator or a trolley full of bulk buys.

Remember the thrill of digging through cereal boxes for hidden treasures? We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the joy of finding a tiny toy among the Fruity Pebbles, only to be met with today’s digital promotions and bewildering acronyms. We poke fun at our attempts to keep up with modern lingo and how 'LOL' has become a conversation filler rather than an expression of genuine laughter. Language has evolved, and so have our ways of communicating, often leaving us chuckling and scratching our heads.

Halloween preparations offer a spooky canvas for both creativity and hilarity. From Uber's quirky partnership with Spirit Halloween — perfect for those last-minute costume crises — to the shenanigans inside those wonderfully eerie stores, we share our tales of thrills and chills. For those seeking even less conventional forms of entertainment, we explore the quirky world of attending building demolitions, weighing the bizarre appeal against the more traditional travel experiences. Whether you’re hiding Halloween candy from your kids or considering a demolition detour, this episode promises a cauldron of humor and light-hearted insights.

Welcome to hey Real Quick with Amy and Marty. Happy October.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's October.

Speaker 1:

Finally, yes, your yard looks amazing.

Speaker 2:

We do like to decorate yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's fabulous. I like the multiple skeleton scenes. You got the standard required Alabama-Auburn fans with the shakers, yeah Skeletons, and there's an NFL scene out there going on.

Speaker 2:

It's just flag football. Oh, it's fabulous. It's just the jerseys.

Speaker 1:

It's amazing. Wish y'all could see it. Maybe we'll put it up. Yeah, I'll take pictures.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. Yeah, robin gets into Halloween. I mean, we already had three skeletons, have we said that word?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and she came home one day and she's like I got some more skeletons.

Speaker 2:

And the first, thing, I thought was, but I got to cut grass.

Speaker 1:

Oh, right, before I set them out, I did that yesterday. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I was the lunatic relocating skeletons in the flower bed.

Speaker 1:

Right, I'm sorry, I'm going to need to move you for a minute.

Speaker 2:

And then the others are staked in the yard. So I'm lifting his legs up, weeding around him.

Speaker 1:

Can you lift up for a second?

Speaker 2:

Don't fall over. But yeah, other than that it's fun.

Speaker 1:

Awesome sauce. What's going on?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah. So yesterday I went to Publix because I wanted to spend a bunch of money.

Speaker 1:

Publix is they're a little high. They're a little high, they're a little high yeah.

Speaker 2:

But they're also close, they're close.

Speaker 1:

So I'm like it's close, I'm going to Publix, I know.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to Publix, I know, but I don't know if this is a life hack or common sense. Or an FYI or something, or both, I don't know. So they're expensive, so I always try to like cash in on their two for five or buy one, get one.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I'm there yesterday and it says I was getting like whatever chocolate milk or something. And it says I was getting like whatever chocolate milk or something, and it says two for eight. Okay, whatever, normally like five bucks and I was like but I don't want two.

Speaker 1:

You just want one, I just want one, okay.

Speaker 2:

Okay, but it says two for eight.

Speaker 1:

Does that mean one for four? I would assume it means only two for eight, that's what I thought.

Speaker 2:

Okay, but I was like I don't care, I'm going for it. I get one, I put it in the cart.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then I had to get bread. Same thing with the bread I was buying.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

No, but the bread was different because it said it wasn't two for whatever it was buy one, get one free.

Speaker 1:

Uh-huh, but you only want one, but I only want one. What are you doing About to go out of town?

Speaker 2:

No, I yeah, oh, yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1:

Can't have extra bread. That's crazy. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 2:

So anyway. So I'm like but if you buy one, the other one's free, otherwise you're just giving public your money, right? Right, that's what you would think. So I went, I even saved the receipt, so I got proof. So the two for eight. If you only buy one, it's one for four, just say $4.

Speaker 1:

Just say the sale price.

Speaker 2:

Why are you trying to trick me into buying two Publix Sorry? And then the buy one, get one free. Yeah, it's a half price.

Speaker 1:

You do not have to do the two. So if you get one, get one free. Yeah, it's a half price. You do not have to do the two, so if you get one it's just half the price it normally is. But if you get two, If you get two technically, you did get it free.

Speaker 2:

Yeah so it was $5. I only bought one, so it was $2.50. I like it so you don't, I've been doing that. So you don't, I've been doing that. You know how much time is. I bought like spaghetti sauce and I'm like I guess I'll get two.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh my goodness, two for five or two, yeah, man, which that's a genius.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's genius marketing.

Speaker 1:

Genius marketing yeah.

Speaker 2:

Buy one, get one. I got to get.

Speaker 1:

I got to get two One's free. I know I One's free.

Speaker 2:

I know I ain't putting that back.

Speaker 1:

No, oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2:

I bet everybody else already knew that. Maybe Maybe not, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

It does make you feel better, though, when you go to Publix. I don't know how many people have Publix, but it is more expensive rather than like a Kroger or something, but it's clean and it is organized. Ooh, I mean they're organized Like whoever is putting out the stock is like you know. They're a little OCD and I appreciate it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, I'm OCD, so I enjoy that.

Speaker 1:

I am here for the display. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

In-cap buy one get one that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I am here for the display. Yeah, yeah, in-cap buy one, get one. You're like, I got to get two boxes of that cereal.

Speaker 2:

Which buys it? Yeah, that wing stack is impeccable.

Speaker 1:

I love their wings, but can we? Yeah, cereal's ridiculous. That's all I got to say. I saw a big box the other day. I was like $9?. This is Cheerios. What is going on? I guess I'll go get a steak for breakfast. This is silly.

Speaker 2:

I got to the point now when I buy cereal I kind of just look away at the price Because it's not going to be good.

Speaker 1:

No, I just only get whatever is the cheapest, or buy one, get one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, you don't even have to get, just buy one and buy, buy one, but yeah.

Speaker 1:

I do that. I'm like it's crazy yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Does it come on milk Like yeah, it is a lot.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it should come with money in the bottom of the bag. They don't have that anymore.

Speaker 2:

Remember when we would Prizes? Yeah, remember, oh, my gosh All right.

Speaker 1:

There we go.

Speaker 2:

I'm going cereal.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Like helping mom with the groceries, bringing all the groceries in, like where's the cereal? Couldn't wait.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like destroy, rip the whole bag out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Open them and then I could look at the bottom of the bag of Fruity Pebbles.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And shake it around. I'm like there it is, open it up, put my whole arm in. Yeah, rub around all the cereal with your hand, from the grocery store With my grocery store hand, I'm probably crawling on the floor and then I like pull out the horrible prize 3D reader or whatever it is. Actually they were pretty good. Yeah, some of them were, yeah, fake tattoos or whatever. Oh, I love those. And then I try to like put it back in the box Boxes all, they don it back in the box, boxes, all they don't have prizes anymore.

Speaker 1:

No, what is that? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes they'll have an offer still the only reason I know this Ain't nobody doing that. What is this?

Speaker 1:

1978? Yeah, offer or go online If it involves another step other than bringing home this cereal box and looking at the cereal box yeah I'm not going on a website because I read the back of the cheerios drink more ovaltine.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I feel like now they try to get away with like qr codes. I would buy cereal I did not like just for the prize like every now and then one would have a prize and I'm like, ooh, like a Hot Wheels something kind of cool.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I'm like mom would be like you don't even like that cereal I was like yeah, yeah, I do.

Speaker 1:

I do this week. I'll eat it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I like it today.

Speaker 1:

And the prize.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I didn't like Cracker Jacks, but I'd always get them for the prize.

Speaker 1:

I didn't like Cracker Jacks either.

Speaker 2:

Uh-uh, it was. They weren't like popped enough, or something. There was a lot of. That's the smallest box of caramel popcorn.

Speaker 1:

It's like wannabe popcorn and I didn't realize it was caramel popcorn forever. I was like this is just Cracker Jacks because I never had caramel popcorn, just had plain popcorn.

Speaker 2:

You try to sell somebody popcorn in a mac and cheese box. That's all that thing is.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, kraft mac and cheese box A little bit smaller, full of popcorn, full.

Speaker 2:

It better be full.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then. And wasn't it like a little wax bag that kind of was folded at the top? Yeah, it was. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

And you'd always get it at like well, baseball games.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's take me out of the ball game.

Speaker 1:

Right, and they always they had. Sometimes they'd have a little book, the microscopic book in there. That was the prize, yeah, or they would have the temporary tattoos.

Speaker 2:

Can I buy another box and get some Regan glasses?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, nowadays, it'd be like I don't even know what that prize is. I can't see it. Yeah, yeah, cracker Jacks, I wasn't a fan, yeah.

Speaker 2:

They had good tattoos, though they fan. Yeah, they had good tattoos they did.

Speaker 1:

They had good prizes, but can I have this?

Speaker 2:

yeah, anyway anyway, sorry, that was a serial rant.

Speaker 1:

I know so Publix, alright, I'm gonna play the game the next time I go there buy one gift.

Speaker 2:

It may differ. State that one person did tell me that though but, I, forgot. I have no memory. So one time I asked somebody, it was probably like five years ago, and they're like well in Tennessee. So I don't know. I guess we've.

Speaker 1:

So in some states you do have to do that.

Speaker 2:

That's what he said.

Speaker 1:

You have to get two to get the deal.

Speaker 2:

So check your mayor or whatever, before you shop at Publix.

Speaker 1:

Right, I have. Yes, this is Marty Booth. I'm calling the governor's office. What's your question? Well, it relates to Publix BOGO. Can we figure that out? Do y'all have that written anywhere?

Speaker 2:

I didn't know what BOGO was until.

Speaker 1:

Buy one, get one.

Speaker 2:

That's embarrassing. Probably like 30s or something.

Speaker 1:

I kept hearing it BOGO, bogo. I was like what is BOGO? It's the whole like.

Speaker 2:

They're like buy one, get one. I was like, oh, yeah, the FOMO, the fear of missing out the HOCO homecoming. You mean the?

Speaker 1:

rec room sale. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

Or pay less. Yeah, it's just, I think at a certain how about I pay more and y'all speak English? Sorry.

Speaker 1:

It's just showing our age. But, like I think at a certain age you shouldn't be able to use those type of acronyms. Like your mouth that just stops working. And the English is marbled on purpose because it was like nope, cut off, you're 40. If you say BO bogo, we're just, we're just gonna jumble, you know, the machine just goes nope, nobody's gonna know what you're talking about. Lol, wait what? Yeah, I cannot, the hoko, yeah what is? Hoko homecoming, will you?

Speaker 2:

go.

Speaker 1:

I made a hoko hoko, oh, they say it, they, they write it yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh my.

Speaker 1:

OMG yeah.

Speaker 2:

You say ho-go or bo-go. I'm about to go low, Go lo-go.

Speaker 1:

And that is not an acronym, I don't.

Speaker 2:

It's just too much. I can't stand when people say out loud they hear something funny or whatever and they go LOL.

Speaker 1:

You could A laugh B. That is funny, ha ha.

Speaker 2:

What happened to that?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. It's like we're robots, but anyhow.

Speaker 2:

I don't enjoy any of that. And then I go to do it and it's like am I on the floor? Am I kind of laughing? Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't, it's too much. Just at that point, just text a picture or something.

Speaker 2:

I saw one the other day that said the new one was called Salts S-A-L-T-S. What so? When somebody sends you it, it's like it's more truthful. Smiled a little bit, then stopped and I was like that's more, spot on yeah, that's got the right amount of snarkiness.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you do this.

Speaker 2:

People send me stuff and I'm like, oh man, that's hilarious. And then you got to pick the crying emoji or the laughing emoji.

Speaker 1:

I know, you know what I'm saying. We don't know if it's crying or laughing.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, yeah, but there's the regular laughing with like yep, and tears come out.

Speaker 1:

And then there's with a smile.

Speaker 2:

Am I 45 degrees entertained. You know that.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, the smile. Am I 45 degrees entertained? You know that? Oh yeah, well, the one where the tongue's out and one of the eyes is closed, that's my like we're going crazy over here. Yeah, oh, I don't do that that's my like.

Speaker 2:

I'm just being, I'm just being silly, oh okay, but yeah, but then do you go two, you know, do you go four of them, like how funny is it I don't know, is't know.

Speaker 1:

Is there a?

Speaker 2:

limit. I don't like there's too much pressure. Somebody sends you something funny, like I just panic. At the end I'm like ah, just one, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's a thousand different little face emojis. It's too many.

Speaker 2:

Am I going to offend them if they only?

Speaker 1:

I wonder if anybody's ever sent something funny and then looked at their phone and be like, yeah, only got one emoji right. That was hilarious, this is worth at least three. Or somebody actually goes too far to the right and like just hits a little stalk of celery, you know, under the food, like there's. It's too much, there's too many things. There's like grape tomato, like you can just speak in emojis. I guess, guess.

Speaker 2:

You could just write the word.

Speaker 1:

That's crazy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So I was driving yesterday listening to the radio because I'm 80. And at the end of the news segment they were like so Uber is partnering this Halloween season for people that don't plan ahead that maybe last-minute costume needs with Spirit Halloween, the pop-up Halloween stores that you're like. I thought that Babies R Us was going to turn into a. No, it's Spirit Halloween for two months every year.

Speaker 2:

That's the opposite. Do not take a baby into Spirit. Halloween. Babies are traumatized Babies are gone from this store now.

Speaker 1:

So I guess you can get on your Uber app if it's October 30th, 31st morning of, and be like I'm going to need, you know, Freddy Krueger or whatever it is. And they deliver it and they deliver it because they're at the Halloween store ready to go.

Speaker 2:

And if it doesn't fit, you're just Well. You waited too long, you got to Uber another one.

Speaker 1:

I guess Uber's going to be just you know yeah.

Speaker 2:

Can you get?

Speaker 1:

candy. No, it's for costumes. Well, I mean, whatever Spirit Halloween sells, I'm sure you can get, but I think they're just a costume store.

Speaker 2:

I've been to Spirit Halloween.

Speaker 1:

I went two weeks ago with my middle kid.

Speaker 2:

First of all, I love Halloween.

Speaker 1:

I know that you do. Yeah, we got skeletons and stuff like that. Skeletons are us right here.

Speaker 2:

And if you're five or seven or eight, you may walk in the yard and be like oh, that one's a little scary whatever, but it's nothing like.

Speaker 1:

No, it's not horrific.

Speaker 2:

Spooky but fun. Spirit Halloween is just like we're going to make everyone cry and have nightmares, including the parents.

Speaker 1:

I've gone in Spirit Halloween and been like I'm not going down that aisle oh no yeah, that's stuff yeah, the back left of the store, because they what you walk in and it's a little more like mainstream whatever, but like the middle. They had this set up with this animatronic. Is that what I'm trying to? Say I don't like spider, it was huge, it was like bigger than my front porch and you pushed a button and then this like zombie girl thing starts talking I was like jonah, I don't know man I, and he goes, oh, that aisle z.

Speaker 1:

I won't even say what was on one aisle because it was so disturbing. He was like, and he loves really scary stuff, like you know.

Speaker 2:

Does he watch scary movies?

Speaker 1:

Not horror stuff. But, like he likes really good costume stuff. Like he plays D&D, all that, Like he appreciates good costume pieces, but he was like that's too creepy even for me.

Speaker 1:

Like it was just too much. And some of those they had in kid sizes and you're like what kid is rocking that, I don't know, but they're going to need to go to therapy. After that it was, oh yeah. I was like I'm good, I just want to buy some Reese cups for my little kid neighbors and get out of here because, well, they don't really sell candy. But you know what I mean. Like I'll dress up for Halloween. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Like I'll dress up for Halloween, but I'm not going to dress up in something.

Speaker 1:

The scariest thing I would dress up as would be like, I don't know, probably a wizard from Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 2:

Yeah right.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean. I'm just not going super spooky, I don't understand the parents or adults. I don't know if they have kids. Maybe they don't.

Speaker 2:

Maybe that's why they do it and they dress up like scary, yeah, and then they try to get all in a kid's face.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, happy Halloween. And then, like, why is she crying? Yeah, I'm crying, yeah, we're all crying now. Thank you, grim Reaper, you can keep your alma joy, because there's no joy now anymore, we're going to cry and then get to like two more houses and shake it off and try to complete the night.

Speaker 2:

I don't get that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't either. But yeah, spirit Halloween Uber.

Speaker 2:

That's interesting.

Speaker 1:

There you go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's going to be some kid like you're out of candy. What is this? Uber? Uber Eats. Would you get some more nerds up in here?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. So I will say this I know somebody who drives for Uber Eats sometimes and she told me that she had one order for go to CVS and get two bags of Doritos and some Nerds candy, and maybe it was like a oh yeah, it was like a gift card for Fortnite, so that was a 12-year-old that placed that order.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Using their mom's or dad's credit card or Greenlight.

Speaker 2:

What does?

Speaker 1:

that mean what's a Greenlight?

Speaker 2:

A little Greenlight.

Speaker 1:

It's like a debit card for a kid.

Speaker 2:

Oh man, they could do Uber Eats with it, I think probably Probably do whatever they want, but like it's just a debit card and like if your kid doesn't do their chores, you can give them money anyway.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I have heard of that. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But it's nice because it'll round up.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and if you give them?

Speaker 2:

money. Like you, can determine how much goes into savings savings nice much, whatever.

Speaker 1:

I mean there's a charge. It's like rocket money, yeah, but for like a kid's debit card, yeah, yeah, but anyway, but yeah, uber eats. It does not have to be a restaurant. I didn't know that. I was like oh okay can I get? Yeah, can I get my cholesterol pills and I need some size 10 nikes.

Speaker 2:

Um, yeah, you can get whatever you want.

Speaker 1:

Exactly yeah, some toothpaste.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, we already got all our candy. Believe that.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I believe it.

Speaker 2:

We bought it two or three weeks ago at Costco Costco. Which the boys found it and see, chocolate, we're fine. Nobody wants it, nobody's asking about that I mean they still like it. I.

Speaker 1:

Nobody wants it, nobody's asked about that, I mean they still like it.

Speaker 2:

I mean they would eat it. But the ones that have like nerds and like sour gummies and all that stuff they're like can we have like one pack. I'm like, okay, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1:

Friday you can have one pack.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then the next day I'm like vacuuming in the house or whatever. And I'm like look at me some nerds and I'm like I'm kind of hungry, I go in there. I get like three packs. Wow, I just like candy.

Speaker 1:

It's not. This would be gone and this wouldn't. It would all be gone.

Speaker 2:

Sourpunch straws like that stuff. Oh man, my mouth is watering. It is so fun.

Speaker 1:

Fun dip is like you need to go outside and eat this because it's a mess.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a stick, and some sand, but whatever. I love it, but yeah.

Speaker 1:

So we already cracked open that one bag. Oh my gosh, are the bags just huge from Costco? Yeah, they're big.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but we get Robin's always like that's enough.

Speaker 1:

I'm like no, I know I hate to run out. We get a yeah Because you can take it back. We give out a lot yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was BOGO. No, I'm just kidding yeah.

Speaker 1:

If Costco does that, it's game over yeah.

Speaker 2:

Do they do that? I bet they've never done that. No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1:

Well, orange juice you got to go work out before you pick up the three pack or whatever.

Speaker 2:

When I was at Publix. Publix, yeah, the day I figured out the BOGO stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I was like I'll just grab orange juice here. I was like I can't do Costco today, like.

Speaker 1:

I didn't have the energy to go.

Speaker 2:

No, I was like yeah, I can't get in there with bulk purchases.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

So I was like I'll just grab one here and I like the Costco kind because it's I think it's a little healthier, it tastes better.

Speaker 1:

It tastes great. Yeah, it tastes like real orange juice. Their orange juice is amazing. Do you get the organic kind or the regular?

Speaker 2:

The organic two-pack.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, oh, it's so good, it's off the hook. I love it so much.

Speaker 2:

So I bought the equivalent of that at Publix and I don't know. It was probably like eight bucks maybe for one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2:

And I'm grabbing it and I'm like I should have gone to Costco.

Speaker 1:

I know.

Speaker 2:

But I was like I couldn't do it. And first of all, there's too many orange juices and, as I say that that's why I like Costco, when you go there, you either get like their brand of orange juice, yeah, or you get another one yeah like there's not. You go to publics and you're like well, there's 32 options yeah which one do I want?

Speaker 1:

yeah, there's too many brands. There's too many variations. Don't even get me started on the pulp amounts yeah or none, and then then you got like a mango orange pineapple. First of that's just a juice blend that shouldn't even be in the orange juice section. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm all kind of confused. Sorry, I don't know. Have you seen that aisle? You know they used to have like cran grape all that stuff.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, it's like Brian Regan Right, that whole deal yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's insane.

Speaker 1:

I don't even get juices.

Speaker 2:

I don't get them because I can't make that decision. Right.

Speaker 1:

There's so many juices yeah, ocean spray, and then, yeah, white grape juice, sort of red grape juice.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, it's bonkers, it's bonkers, so anyway.

Speaker 1:

White peach, white peach, cranberry yeah.

Speaker 2:

Does anything else have pulp, or is it just orange juices?

Speaker 1:

Grapefruit juice.

Speaker 2:

That's the only two things that have pulp.

Speaker 1:

As far as I know, I mean mango might have a little bit if it was pure mango.

Speaker 2:

I guess. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, doesn't matter. We are in it. You are in it Speaking of DJs and being old. Yes, I was pulling in from dropping the boys off this morning and I heard a DJ say yeah, I don't know if my trip's going to get canceled, but I'm scheduled to fly out to Vegas to see the Tropicana implode. They're going to blow up the Tropicana Hotel like the old one and implode it.

Speaker 1:

But I'm like you're going to fly. That's a destination trip now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're going to when people implode buildings. Fly across the country to see them blow up a building. I'm sure there's a live stream, right.

Speaker 1:

Do you do this with every building? Tell? Me there's a concert you're going to in the bubble while you're there or something you hitting up the sphere. Yeah, the sphere, or isn't that what it's called? I don't know.
