Welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to another edition of DIY Money.
DIY Money.
I gave this announcement two podcasts ago. Actually, each podcast, the last three, but just as an update for you loyal listeners, pretty soon you're going to start hearing ads. So just be aware. Just be prepared for it. Be prepared to hit that 15, 15, 15. Yeah. How dare you? Or no, actually, as the podcast person, listen to them all. Maybe encourage, whatever. Okay, let's jump to, I want to know, you have a trip coming up. I don't know when this will be launched, if it's already done, but it's actually going to be launched on Valentine's Day, actually. But will that be done when it's Groundhog Day?
It's Punxsutawneyville! There's a shadow up here. Get ready for six more weeks of winter this year.
Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't be here tomorrow, by the way.
What are you doing? Give us a quick update.
Okay, this is very exciting for me. One of my best friends has always had on her bucket list that she wanted to go to watch Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog's Day in person in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. And so we're loading up the van. The metaphorical van. We're loading up there on Friday. But let me tell you, planning this has been crazy. Like, this is an ordeal. I thought it was like 17 people in the town square. Like the movie. Because you don't see the thousands of people crammed in this park. But we tried to buy tickets. So, for context, they have events all weekend long. So... There's like dueling pianos and the talent show and they have a groundhog ball, like all the things, right?
What personal trip anecdote do the hosts share about Groundhog Day plans?
We try to get tickets for the groundhog ball because I can't think of anything else I'd rather do more, honestly, than people watch at the groundhog ball and or dance, honestly, is what I'd be doing, throwing down on the dance floor.
You're not that good a dancer. Oh, please. You and I both know I'm a phenomenal dancer. Now I know your life.
We had like a members only link because a few years ago I bought her a membership to the Punxsutawney Phil club. So you get early access to tickets. And within a minute or less, it had sold out for the members tickets. So I was like, well, that's stupid. But public tickets launched. So I got a couple of the events. I just didn't get in on the ball. Public events launched at nine o'clock. So I was like, okay, nine o'clock. I'll be there on my laptop. I already know where the buttons are that I'm clicking. I've done this once. Easy. Three tickets to the Groundhog Ball. No problem. Quint, when I tell you, it was six seconds. It loaded. I clicked the Groundhog. I clicked quantity. I clicked three, add to cart. And I was using one click pay and it spun for like two or three seconds.
And then it came up and it said, sorry, this event has sold out. Are you kidding me? This is an outrage.
The Groundhog Ball. Are you going to go on? I mean, clearly it's a hot ticket. Clearly it's probably on a ticket exchange. Are you going to try to buy them on the secondary market?
No, I don't know that they actually are selling secondary market. There's probably not that many. Anyone need tickets, guys? Tickets, tickets, tickets. Anyone need tickets? But the actual Groundhog's Day event is free and you don't need a ticket. You just have to shuttle over there. So we'll still see like the main event. And we got some tickets for some of the other things. We're doing like the dueling pianos thing, which I've never done before. And then we're having lunch with Phil. It's going to be amazing. But we're a little crushed about the Groundhog Ball.
I love it. I think it's great. You're going to have an amazing time. Ironically, I mean, this is obviously not a death-defying camping trip alone in the woods with crazy people, so I actually would be into this.
Do you want to come?
No, no, I can't. I have actually other plans this weekend that I'd rather do, but I love it.
