I simply said half warehouse, no, no where ever and
gets a bargain. And what I said, I said, there
are bargains to be had everything. So the Mountainlympus is
in like northern Greece, by Macedonia.

highest mountain peakon Greece. Yep, they believe that was the
home of the gods. Yeah, they believe it was a
mountain so high it was a constance of the heavens.
Such a traund spart to watch humans as the Zeus
and et cetera.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They all live up on Mount Olympus.
Speaker 2 (03:23):

honor the gods they were before, and be like, look

that do it every four years? Right from the get
go it was like a budget thing and that was expensive,
which you just wait four years because you'd already be
building in the next city, you know. Yeah, well you
need some downtime.
