Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:02
the recording of this. It is Tuesday,
0:04
May the 6th, 2025. Wearing an
0:07
appropriate hat and t-shirt because I am
0:10
heading over to Tampa to Stein Burner
0:11
Field to watch the Rays take on the
0:14
Phillies in game one of that series. It
0:17
will be the only game from that series
0:18
I'm going to attend because tomorrow I'm
0:21
getting on a plane, leaving the country,
0:24
leaving the US, and going to another
0:26
international destination. Gonna make my
0:29
way over that direction. Meet up with a
0:32
buddy of mine who just announced is
0:35
moving out of the state in the very near
0:38
future. So, might be the last raise game
0:41
him and I go to together while he's
0:44
still a resident of Florida. I'm sure
0:46
he'll be back for others though as well.
0:48
We'll just see where the day leads. I'm
0:50
inviting you to join me. Raise up, shall
0:54
you? Bringing my reusable tote with me
0:56
here, the Ray City Connect. they
0:57
released last year in
1:00
24. I'm always indecisive on what to
1:03
wear to raise gangs. I have so many
1:04
shirts and hats and I have a pretty nice
1:07
ensemble. I'm not wearing any of the
1:09
this particular logo, but I got the bag
1:12
with me. I'm wearing the the classic
1:15
Tampa Bay hat and a retro double ray
1:18
shirt. That's my ensemble today. I'm
1:21
also going to stop by the Lakeland
1:22
Antique Mall on the way over there.
1:24
Yeah, why not? It's on the way. I4
1:33
westbound passing Mickey Power Pole.
1:33
Hello there. Hello. Needed to get some
1:36
fuel over here at the Pulk City Travel
1:37
Center. Price of gas currently over here
1:40
on I4 is
1:42
295. Well, I'll call it
1:44
294 a gallon if you will. This is
1:47
technically in Auburnale. Pulk City
1:50
Travel Center. And there is the water
1:52
tower of Auburnale right there. Should
1:55
have probably got gas at the Art Deco
1:56
7-Eleven. Didn't realize I was running
1:58
on fumes, but I did make it over here to
2:00
this exit, so I'm good. A little under
2:03
$3 a gallon here in Central Florida on
2:05
this current day. All right, made it
2:08
over to the newly opened about couple
2:11
miles from the old location that was
2:12
there for many years. The Lakeland
2:14
Antique Mall has moved over here. It's
2:16
next to
2:17
Bob's Carpet
2:20
Mart. A little smaller, more intimate
2:22
spot. really like it. Grabbed a
2:26
cart. See what I can find in here. Love
2:29
doing a little antiquing thrift
2:31
shopping. Look at this. They sold this,
2:33
but this is
2:34
a little train of some sort here. Says
2:37
engine
2:39
sold. So, I will not be taking that home
2:41
with me. No idea why, but certain things
2:43
draw my attention. Like this fish right
2:46
here. And then
2:47
this. Look at this little like paper
2:50
weight that would go on like a counter
2:51
here. $150. It's a little I don't think
2:54
I'm going to get it for that price, but
2:55
that's kind of neat. Here's some blown
2:56
glass
2:59
here. That is a cookie
3:01
jar. I think
3:11
$75 for this. Like a Phantom of the
3:11
Opera
3:13
perhaps. Talking Willie down there. Look
3:16
at this Donald.
3:17
$700 for that.
3:21
Not even sure what that is.
3:24
Now that I have the storage space, which
3:26
I showed yesterday, I got room to buy
3:28
some Halloween decor for
3:31
October. So, if I see any Ooh, look at
3:34
these blow molds of Mickey and
3:36
Mini. Kind of
3:39
neat, right?
3:42
$70 for those. Do I need a fullsize
3:47
mummy?
3:53
Do I need a fullsize mummy? Look at
3:53
this. Oh my gosh. Could you imagine that
3:56
on my
4:01
porch? I mean, I got room in a storage
4:01
shed. What the storage? Storage shed
4:03
people would think when I'm like rolling
4:05
that in the my unit or how much that is.
4:10
Look at that. Look at that
4:12
thick. Look at that skeleton there.
4:14
That's a pretty good set piece behind
4:16
it. Skeletons got the shovel. Oh, I just
4:19
bumped into something. Skeleton's got
4:21
the
4:22
shovel. I like that. I like this guy
4:25
better,
4:31
though. That one's 1,500 for that one.
4:31
That skeleton pirate almost kind of
4:33
looks like something out of
4:34
Goonies. I don't see a price on this
4:36
one, though. That's That's
4:39
frightening. Spider-Man up there just
4:41
hanging out. This would probably scare
4:43
my the neighbors.
4:51
The swamp monster up top here. Look at
4:51
that. Like the swamp thing of
4:53
sorts.
4:59
Nice. This kind of reminds me of the
4:59
whale tus in Barrow, Alaska. The most
5:01
northernmost town in the US and one of
5:04
the most
5:05
northernmost accessible places in the
5:08
world that I went
5:09
to end of last year.
5:20
Looking for some wall art. I mean,
5:20
that'd be kind of neat to have a whale
5:21
bone
5:22
archway. Well, I guess that would be
5:24
tough. Maybe these aren't whale tusks,
5:27
but I need wall art. That's what I'm
5:29
looking for. These are kind of unique,
5:30
but look at this panther's
5:34
face. Looks very
5:36
frightened. Hand painted. $30.
5:53
bank. A porky pig right there. All
5:53
right, these are pretty good. Got some
5:55
old vintage bumper stickers. Florida.
5:58
I've been to SeaWorld Orlando. $8. I
6:01
like that. I got Euro Disney. Look at
6:03
this mystery funhouse.
6:10
$7.99 for this mystery funhouse sticker.
6:10
Don't mind if I do. Going to purchase
6:11
that. That's the classic uh vacation
6:14
kingdom of the world. I've been to
6:17
SeaWorld Orlando. I think I'm going to
6:18
get I'm going to get both of these. I
6:21
like that mystery fun house. That's a
6:23
super retro. RIP mystery fun house. Look
6:27
this back up
6:29
here. That's kind of a nightmare fuel
6:31
mini right there.
6:38
It's a good little blow Mrs. Claws. It's
6:38
really heavy though. It's got like a
6:40
heavy base on it.
6:42
$65. Artwork is always so fascinating to
6:45
me, especially when it's, you know, like
6:48
a hand painted thing, which I I'm
6:50
assuming that's what this is. Jesus.
6:53
There is the artist interpretation of
6:55
the Garden of
6:57
Gethsemane for the crucifixion.
6:59
There 100. No, not even 100.
7:03
$49 right down there. Looks like the
7:06
artist name is something west.
7:10
It's most likely a
7:12
101. Can't imagine that being a
7:30
$50. Pretty
7:30
cool. There. Also, this one's $200 by
7:33
someone named
7:35
Penrose. All right. This is wild.
7:39
This is how the park used to look like
7:40
here in Florida. Universal Studios
7:42
Orlando or Universal Studios Florida,
7:44
whatever the heck they call it
7:46
now. That's how I remember the parking
7:48
lot
7:49
there. Archway over
7:52
there, the globe that
7:55
evidently it's the globe that's now in
7:57
Hollywood. They changed that globe.
7:59
There's like the little courtyard there
8:02
of emptiness. And then you got
8:04
Nickelodeon there, which became Blue Man
8:06
Group there.
8:09
Wow, look at that. That's like that's
8:12
got to be opening year of
8:14
90. Back to the future of the ride over
8:17
there somewhere. I mean, I haven't been
8:19
in a long time. Oh, look at this. The
8:21
original Hard Rock Cafe before CityWalk
8:24
opened, which is now over here. Now
8:27
there's all water right here. And I
8:29
think Hard Rock's like over here. Look
8:32
at that. That is
8:34
wild. That is wild.
8:41
$95. Little in the back corner here in
8:41
the vault. They call this area of the
8:43
Lakeland Antique Mall. That is that is
8:46
awesome. How about a talking
8:49
computerized alcohol
8:51
tester? You pull a straw out of here,
8:54
which looks like the straws have already
8:56
been used. I don't think I'm going to
8:57
grab any of the straws. And you blow
9:00
into
9:00
there, and it'll tell you what your
9:03
alcohol level is.
9:20
interesting. This is kind of neat, too.
9:20
This old general store miniature need
9:23
for a lifesize ET, they got you. $1,800.
9:28
$1,799.99 to be exact.
9:32
You can have this
9:34
lifesize
9:41
tea. I think I'm gonna pass on that one.
9:41
Oh,
9:43
wow. Folk Art Mickey head has been sold.
9:47
Look at that thing. This booth's got
9:49
some pretty good stuff, too, including
9:50
some postcards. I do collect postcards.
9:52
I have a whole box with like a couple
9:54
hundred of them, vintage ones in them.
9:56
And here's some that I found right here.
9:57
So, show you which ones I'm going to
10:00
grab. Got the Matter Horn, which I
10:02
haven't seen that postcard. Then we got
10:03
Epcot. That's Disneyland. We got Epcot
10:06
here at WDW. And we got more Epcot World
10:08
Showcase. Look at the Omni Bus right
10:11
here parked over there in front of the
10:13
UK pavilion. That's where they they have
10:15
all the TE's and everything right in
10:17
there. That's cool. $3.99 for each of
10:20
these. And then look how youthful the
10:24
Mexico pavilion is. Look at
10:27
that. Right. That is so cool. There's
10:30
the Epcot Center days right there. So, I
10:35
got that. And then look at this. Canoe.
10:37
Canoe Creek Campgrounds. Camping at its
10:39
best near Walt Disney
10:42
World. I think I'm going to pass on that
10:44
one, but I am going to get these. I am
10:46
going to get these postcards. I do not
10:48
have these. I have a bunch, but I don't
10:49
have these. Mystery fun house sticker. I
10:51
got the SeaWorld sticker. Vintage. And
10:53
all those postcards. All right. Cruising
10:54
over. Meet up with a
10:57
friend over here, though. I'm
10:59
noticing there is a Philly steak. Philly
11:03
cheese steak and wing place, which I'm
11:05
not going to get a Philly cheese steak
11:06
from here. Heading to the ball game. I
11:08
should also mention that Philly
11:11
captain is not going to be at the game
11:14
today. He wasn't able to make it. Going
11:16
to miss the guy. I was I was kind of
11:18
hoping that me and the Philly captain
11:19
and Tampa Jay could hang out together,
11:22
but he had some circumstances come up
11:25
and he can't make he can't make it down
11:26
here for the the Rays Philly game. Park
11:29
down there for $10. I learned this
11:33
hack from Tampa J who is here as well.
11:38
Soon to not be a Florida resident. Tampa
11:40
J, the news is out. You're moving. This
11:43
might be our Yeah. Our last game for a
11:45
while. As you being a Florida, I'm sure
11:47
you probably come back to some games.
11:48
Oh, yeah. I'm I'm never I'm always gonna
11:50
be a Rays fan. Yeah. You know, we've got
11:52
opening day traditions, stuff like that.
11:54
And uh you know, they might be going to
11:56
Orlando, so I'm crossing my fingers,
11:58
man. Yep. Well, I could hop on a plane.
12:02
I could go to Disney. You know, you'll
12:04
be back. You'll be back. Always be a
12:06
Rays fan. We're going to find out
12:07
tonight. And if they have the pieces for
12:09
sale of Choppana of Field. Oh, the roof
12:11
of the truck. The roof. Yeah. They said
12:12
that they had him here and they they
12:15
brought him like a week or two ago.
12:17
We've been here since. We just got the
12:18
inside scoop. Those two officers or the
12:20
one officer said that he heard the rage
12:22
are going to be back at the trough next
12:24
year. That's what they were told. I
12:26
don't believe it. Yeah, you never know.
12:28
But yeah, we'll see. I'll believe it
12:30
when I see it. I got to thinking this is
12:32
going to be my first night game, regular
12:34
season night game here at Steinbrunner
12:37
cuz I was here opening day, which was a
12:38
day Well, I it was kind of a night game.
12:40
It was like a 400 p.m. start, right?
12:41
Yeah. It didn't get dark. This is a 700
12:43
p.m. start. It's your first home game
12:45
for the race at night outside, right?
12:48
Here we go. Cheers it up. Popcorn.
12:50
Cheers. Popcorn. That's a lot of
12:52
popcorn.
12:54
Starting off with some popcorn. Probably
12:55
should have got some drinks, but we can
12:57
get one. We'll get down to the bottom of
12:59
this salty goodness. Then we'll get some
13:00
drinks. Once it gets salty, we'll have
13:01
to get salty. Yeah, you got the You got
13:03
the new school logo and you got the
13:05
throwback logo. We both got large
13:07
popcorns. Look at this. That's a good
13:08
size chunk right there. It's a good bang
13:10
for your buck. 13 bucks.
13:12
Yeah. Oh, you say hi to Chris the girl.
13:16
Hi, Chris the girl. Yeah, there you go.
13:18
You got a shout out from DJ Kitty. We
13:20
got We got Adam over here, too. Hello,
13:22
DJ Kitty. Good to see you again. Got the
13:25
popcorn there. Are you going to take it
13:27
there? Try it. Give me a food review.
13:30
You realize Steu Sternberg of the race
13:31
is now sitting right in front of us.
13:33
These two rows just a little over to the
13:34
right. Whoa. The owner of the race is
13:36
right there. Ste, I always kind of
13:38
wonder what Kevin Cash thinks. Kevin
13:40
Cash, manager right there. Stu
13:42
Sternberg, the owner, is sitting right
13:44
by him, like over his shoulder, almost
13:45
being like, "Don't mess up, Kevin. Don't
13:48
mess up." A
13:51
Schwarb right before that, Schwarber hit
13:53
a foul ball over into the Rays dugout
13:56
and cranked Shane Mlanahan. Hit Shane
14:00
Mlanahan, who's on the IIL, reving in
14:03
pain over there. Then the next pitch,
14:05
Schwarb out to left field. Phillies are
14:08
up one to zero.
14:10
Oh, it's a home
14:13
run. Two to
14:25
nothing. Dang
14:25
it. Of a Tampa J.
14:34
What do you call it? A Tampa J. You're
14:34
vouching for this. That's the word I'm
14:35
looking. You're vouching. It's a
14:37
suggestion, but it's a it's a good
14:39
Colony Grill. Famous thin crust pizza
14:41
since 1935. All right, I'm going with
14:43
the hot oil. Does not have pepperoni on
14:46
it. And they said for people who like it
14:48
hot.
14:49
So, I'm going with the This is the
14:51
official pizza of the race. How come I
14:52
never heard of it? Did they have this at
14:54
the truck? No. I Maybe it's something
14:56
new. Maybe they're going to add it.
14:58
Funny thing about this, this is the
14:59
lightest pizza I've ever held. I mean,
15:01
it's the thinnest crust pizza. Crust is
15:04
really good. It's got a pepper on it.
15:09
have this pole right in front of me.
15:11
Look at this.
15:17
Yeah, the weight the weight of this is
15:17
like Yeah, the cardboard is heavier than
15:20
the pizza. It's pretty thin. There is
15:22
more girth to this slice of cardboard
15:25
than there is to that pizza.
15:28
Get him out.
15:32
That's a good angle there.
15:35
First slice.
15:54
hot. Little too
15:54
spicy. Good. Good flavor.
15:58
I like
16:09
At first when you mentioned this I
16:09
didn't think it was going to be
16:15
real yanking my chain yanking your
16:15
chain. Oh, I see what you did
16:17
there. Oh double going along on a
16:20
double.
16:26
Oh, let's
16:28
go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's
16:34
go. About to be a hot oil pizza. It did
16:38
it. We got to get pizza every serious
16:40
cameras right there.
17:03
Is it good? Y is coming out. The gear
17:05
twisted twisted something.
17:15
Raymond, how you doing, buddy? Let me
17:15
get this. Let me open this up for you.
17:18
You're allowed in here, Raymond. Come on
17:20
through. Come on through. You have cart
17:21
blanch to do whatever you want to do
17:22
here. Raymond, you own this place. The
17:26
Yankees aren't here anymore. Just the
17:27
Rays home now. It's the Rays home. Good
17:30
to see you, buddy. Hey. Yeah. Thanks,
17:33
Raven.
17:35
Oh, thank you. I I'll I'm leaving, but
17:38
I'll be back for the games. Yeah. How'd
17:40
you know? You knew that. Raven knows
17:42
all. He knows everything.
17:45
Wow. This is the coolest time ever. You
17:47
just say you're chiming in in the
17:49
comments. We're just going to Okay.
17:50
Okay. All right. I'll look for tomorrow
17:52
to see if you're chiming
18:21
going away.
18:37
Oh man, he let Jay take the take me out
18:37
to the ball game on the dugout roof.
18:50
homer. I don't know why Cash left this
18:50
guy in on the mouth. Honestly, we had a
18:53
chance to take out
19:28
I love it when the Philly fans chant out
19:28
the football team's name at a baseball
19:30
game. We get it. The
19:32
one football. I think they I think they
19:35
don't realize what sporting event
19:36
they're
19:38
at here.
19:44
Walls is up to
19:44
Uh, that's not the best scenario, but
19:49
bat. No outs, guys on the corners.
19:54
Work that at first.
19:57
No, two on. Are we watching the race?
20:05
Oh, well, Taylor is up. All right,
20:05
bottom of the ninth, two outs. Rays are
20:06
down by four.
20:09
Me's going to strike out. I'm calling
20:10
right now.
20:16
Don't have a lot of faith in Curtis me
20:18
this year so far. Hopefully he proves me
20:20
wrong. See, I'm trying to go the
20:21
opposite way. Say something he's going
20:23
to strike out and then he gets a a home
20:25
run here.
20:30
Two strikes.
20:43
Full count, two outs. Bottom of the
20:43
ninth. Rays down to their final
20:53
pitch. I think I watch the Rays enough
20:53
to know exactly what every player on the
20:55
team is going to do nine times out of
20:57
10.
20:58
I also learned that Philadelphia fans
21:00
don't know how to spell Phillies. They
21:02
don't know how to spell their baseball
21:03
team, but they know how to spell their
21:05
football team because I've heard them
21:07
say it about 30 times tonight. All
21:08
right, this is where we end the video.
21:10
Jay, it's over.
21:12
Right here in the parking lot. But we
21:14
had quite a good time. It was a good
21:15
time. I had a great time. I wish we
21:18
would have won though. That would have
21:18
been better. This will be our last game
21:20
with you as a Florida resident. The next
21:22
one when when you come to visit, I will
21:24
technically be a resident. Yeah, you
21:25
might go to some Rays games. That is a
21:28
time. You might go to some away games.
21:29
I'll be now that I'm not stuck down in
21:32
the southeast portion of the United
21:34
States. Yeah, that's a good thing. I'll
21:35
be have more accessibility.
21:38
Hey, we're vlogging here. Sorry, I had
21:41
to say it. Why don't you turn on our
21:43
lights, sillies fans? That might be a
21:45
race fan. Oh, they're cool. Okay. All
21:48
right. I'll see you in the next video.
21:50
