0:00Allison just made me wear off the air that the term micro tripping could have a couple different definitions. And I did not think about the other one. I just thought it was the one that I read about this morning. Oh yeah, you didn't think about what I was thinking about. Yeah, no, I did not go there at all. But micro tripping is not that at all. It has nothing to do with anything bad, but it's something that Gen Z is really enjoying. And I think you, Allison, would enjoy it as well. Okay. Micro tripping is basically taking a quick trip somewhere, quick little vacation, three day weekend, long weekend. I mean, of course, I love it. I love a trip. I love the vacation. But you lost me with calling it micro tripping. Well, like that's too close to like micro dosing and the word tripping has multiple connotations. Well, but the point of micro tripping is that it's like a little trip. Like you're not taking a long trip. The other part of micro tripping is most of the time. It's to another country.

1:00Would you be down to like take a four day weekend to Europe? No, really, so I wouldn't either. I thought you would be into that stuff. No, the jet lag is crazy whenever you go to Europe. You are so, your sleep schedule is so messed up because of the time difference. And then the flight is always so long. You get there first thing in the morning, you're exhausted. Like no, you need a whole week. Yeah, there is, I have a pretty strict rule that if I'm going to have to drive somewhere longer than three hours, I got to be at that place for five days. Like, okay, now that's extreme. Why is that extreme? That is extreme. I could see needing to be, if you're going to take an international flight that's like seven hours or something somewhere that you need to be there a whole week, but a three hour drive. Yeah, three hour drive is my max for a long weekend. I'm not going any further than that. It's crazy to drive like five, six hours after work on a Friday and then turn around and come back

2:01on Sunday, give me a break, I'm not doing it. So micro tripping would definitely not be for me. According to an expert, people were micro tripping the places like Toronto, the Bahamas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, a lot of popular micro trip destinations. You're not going to catch me. That's, okay, then I'm out on micro tripping. If that's what it is. If it's just, you know, like I'll go to Oxford this weekend, just take a look, quick little trip there or something like that. Well, not count as micro tripping. See, that would be the only way that I would be into it. Like, do a weekend in New Orleans. But yeah, I'm with you. Like, it needs to be somewhere that I could get to easily, whether it's somewhere that's like a direct flight would be nice. I felt like my trip to Kansas City was a bit of a micro trip. You know what, that, yes, that would be a micro trip in least in my definition. And I've talked to my brothers about doing something like this, like finding a place where I could get a direct flight to. Yeah. Because they will most likely also be able to get one, like doing a long week in New Orleans or Nashville's another one

3:05that we've talked about. Miami now has that direct flight. That's true. That would be a good one. That would be a good, but again, according to Gen Z's definition of micro tripping, it's got to be out of the country. Well, I think Miami's close enough to out of the country. We're doing millennial micro tripping, okay? Which is, is it a quick drive or a direct flight? You know what, we got a ball on a budget. And Tim says, my micro tripping is going to Pensacola Beach this weekend, Friday through Tuesday. Tim, you have a fantastic time.
