  Speaker 1: Okay. I need to tell you two things.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Cubby and Christine's. Two pretty cool things. How cool is this,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Christine Nagy? Harry Potter will make its first ever appearance
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: during the 100th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Ooh. Thursday, November 26th.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Very nice.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: That's huge, right?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So Macy's and HBO Max have unveiled a brand new
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: float inspired by the upcoming HBO original series Harry Potter
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and the Philosopher's Stone. Now, the float will focus on
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: one of its most recognizable spaces, Hogwarts Great Hall. The
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: design is intended to evoke one of the hall's grand
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: holiday feasts, complete with the iconic sorting hat. And all
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: four Hogwarts houses will be represented. You got Gryffindor, you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: got Hufflepuff, you got Ravenclaw, you got Slytherin. And fans
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: will get an early glimpse before Thanksgiving. The float is
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: scheduled to make its official public debut on during a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Macy's Studio preview event on November 17th. Nice. All right,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: so November is a big month for this whole thing. Yes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of course.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: What do you have? I hope you held on to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: your CDs, Cubby, because everything old is new again.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I actually have.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You have?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Not all of them, but I have a fair amount.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They're making a very surprising comeback. Now, we know people
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have been into vinyl for quite some time now, right?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But vinyl is expensive. So suddenly we're seeing a jump
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in CD sales. So anybody who was kind of making
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fun of you for maybe still having them, we get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the last laugh. Experts say CDs are benefiting from lower prices,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: affordable all-in-one players, and renewed interest in listening to full
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: albums rather than an algorithm and what it may serve
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up next. So, yay. CDs are here.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's kind of cool, but you don't get that crackling
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: like you do with vinyl.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Vinyl is beautiful, but vinyl is like, it's expensive.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It is expensive.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's like 40 bucks an album or something. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, in honor of your story, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: will play the next song after this break off CD. Oh, okay.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say vinyl, but yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do CD.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, do CD.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Light effect.
