Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's just so hot, it's so hot, I mean, and people
are outside and you end the daywith the fireworks and
everybody's done before thosestart.
You know?
Yeah, because we're exhaustedand we all need a Gatorade IV.

Just go get the bag of iceoutside the Mapco.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, take it home, go in that.
What do they have at gasstations, like that beer cave or
whatever, you know, when youlike.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh yeah, Some places where you can walk in it, yeah.
Yeah, some of the grocerystores have that.
I don't buy beer.
Yeah, stores have that, I don'tbuy beer, yeah, but, um, we're
just gonna go in here and play agame of dominoes.
We're gonna cool off a minute.
We've been outside, we're aboutto go watch fireworks, so I
have to recalibrate.
Um, yeah, yeah anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, I did find um, let's drop some knowledge.
Uh, I found a 50 facts aboutthe fourth of july.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Because I was scrolling.
Yeah Well, I guess on theinternet, I'm not on the medias,
but I was scrolling, I was likeoh the 4th is coming up.
I want to see if I knew any ofthese.
Yeah, yeah or let me say, didnot know any of these.
So I'm not going to read out 50facts, because it's hot.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Ain't nobody got time for that, and everybody's
waiting on fireworks.
Yeah, ain't, nobody on a boatgoing.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Did you hear number 32?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, they're like is my hot dog done yet?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, but a couple I thought were interesting.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
One was you're not supposed to wear American flags.
That really puts Old Navy in anuncomfortable position remember
like forever.
It was like family t-shirts,old navy 1997, 19 and that had
the year on them.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, they still get the whole collection, tank tops,
everything muscle shirts.
It's a flag code and it statesthe flag should never be used as
wearing apparel, bedding ordrapery.
I don't know who's got Americanflag drapes.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't know, that's next level.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Or bedding.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Bedding.
Wow, yeah, I don't get that one.
Yeah, I don't either.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
But also another fact is every Major League Baseball
team will be playing on the 4thof July.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Really.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
So if you need something to do for eight hours
while you're eating your hotdogs, there's a baseball game.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Right, that's kind of slow and not very stressful.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
With a steady pace.
Yeah, can you tell I'm not abaseball fan.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This game started in 1776.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
It's still going, it's in the third inning.
The skeletons with uniforms onare the team Wow.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, here's another one.
I'm not numbering these becausenobody cares.
No, no, we're just hitting thehighlights this one seemed, I'm
going to say, like common sense.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Fireworks are a huge business.
You think I'm going to say yeah, in case you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, just come to my house and I live in Nashville
proper, but don't nobody care.
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Proper, but don't nobody care.
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
It says 600 million infireworks imports.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
That seems low.
I was going to say that too.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Which I will say Nashville, the one they do
downtown.
I looked it up, it seems lowhere.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Half a million.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, that doesn't seem right.
That doesn't seem right.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Because that thing lasts for 30.
I don't know where they'regetting their fireworks.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, but it ain't Big Bob's on like I-24 going to
Chattanooga or something likethat?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, it ain't.
What was it?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Crazy Bills, or whatever it ain't in that
trailer, no, or the side of theroad stand, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
If you shot fireworks for 40 minutes and you bought
them at Crazy Bills or Eddie'sor whatever it was, yeah.
That would cost you like $3billion.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
But yeah, they shoot a lot.
Yeah, I don't know they shootso many fireworks you can't see
them, it's just smoke.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, like at the end Speaking of hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
And burgers and sweating while cooking them.
Another one is it saysAmericans spend close to $10
billion on Fourth of July food.
I believe that that's inflation.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's when everybody goes and buys meat.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
That's true.
Yeah, Fourth of July is meat,yeah it's just meat.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's like barbecue ribs steaks.
Y'all want some grilled chicken.
Who wants some shrimp kebabs?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I mean it's everything, forrest Gump.
It's all of it.
It's just meat and fruit and abag of chips.
Yeah, you got some Lay's potatochips.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's about.
All the heat you can take iswith meat, and then you got to
eat something cold.
And a watermelon yeah, ooh, icecold watermelon.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Like an ice cold watermelon.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Ooh, that's good.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Why are we?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, man, I want some watermelon right now.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Watermelon always sounds delicious.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
And then you're like it's refreshing.
And you gotta pick it out andit's ginormous, I don't do it.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
And then did you put it in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I forgot.
Yeah, just eat an ice cube witheach bite.
It'll be the same thing.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
But it'll be the same thing.
I'm at the age now.
I'm like, if I want it, I'mgetting a pre-cut.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I know, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's bougie.
Yeah, yeah, I don't buy itoften.
I'm not buying it like all thetime, but I'm not hauling a huge
watermelon and then, becauseyou want to wash it off before
you cut it, you know what I'msaying yeah, and, and.
Then you got on the counter andwho's got a cutting board that
big?
What kind of knife are we usinghere?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
You're always trying to put it on a paper plate.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Can you go get the home light chainsaw?
You know, let's cut it outside.
Yeah, there'll be no ants afterthat.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a whole thing.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I don't know.
And to people I know differentpeople put stuff on a watermelon
.
Well, we do know.
And to people I know differentpeople put stuff on a watermelon
.

Speaker 1 (08:45):

It's really offensive .
Now.
It's stained, oh my gosh.
But I do love a good watermelon.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, anyway, yeah Well, I wonder how much of that
$10 billion is watermelons.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't know, but now I want a burger.

Speaker 2 (09:41):

Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's on the internet.
Yeah, it's on the internet.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
It's got to be true, it is true 50 million Americans
travel more than 50 miles, whichwe did when this comes out,
because we drove eight hours.

Thing?

Speaker 2 (10:33):

Speaker 1 (10:35):
But you know, like I get a New Year's Eve if you want
to bundle up and do thatbusiness, whatever.
Or Thanksgiving Day parade,Macy's Day, whatever it's called
, but Fourth of July parade.
I feel like the only reasonpeople are there is because they
have young kids.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
It's just little.
It's too hot.
It's just little.
Bikes with red, white and bluestreamers, everybody's got a
little bitty flag and it's just.

three streets over.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh, we're going to melt three streets over.
Oh my gosh.
Also it's all food related, Iknow as it should be.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Americans consume about 150 million hot dogs per
year.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh so this has nothing to do with the fourth.
Yeah, so I don't know whythat's on this.
Probably 100 million of themare on the fourth.
Do you eat hot dogs?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Not anymore.
I used to.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Do you eat beef ones or turkey dogs?

I've transitioned to turkey dogs and now I haven't
had a hot dog in like two orthree years.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
So it's just a mind thing.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
It's like you can't do it.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
If I haven't eaten in four days and somebody gives me
a hot dog, I'm just gonna belike oops.
I dropped it.
I ain't eating it, no okay Ican't do it, it's just a mental
block now see, I, I'm, I'm gonnabe honest.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I do like 70% mustard .
We are hungry, by the way.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, but I thought it was interesting.
This data came from theNational Hot Dog and Sausage
Council, which I don't know.
Who's on that?
Joey Chestnut and two otherpeople I don't know?
The hot dog eating dude yeah, Ithink.
150 million.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Hot, the hot dog eating dude yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I think 150 million hot dogs.
He eats 50 million of them.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Good grief.
How does he show up again everyyear?
I expect him to be dead.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
He does that's.
All he does is eatingcompetitions.
So he does that like once ayear, but then he does, you know
, the Joe Schmo barbecue contest.
He just goes around and eats.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Okay, is he cleansing or something after that?
Juice, cleanse Fasting.

How old is that guy?
I don't know.
We'll look it up, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Also, there have been 27 different official versions
of the flag.
I thought there was like threeor four.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, I guess I didn't totally realize that 27?
.
Well, they kept adding stuff.
Make a decision.

Speaker 2 (13:42):

Speaker 1 (13:42):
We're going to stop right here.
If we add another island, whocares?
We add another island?
Who?

Speaker 2 (13:49):

And then well, this one, theAmerican flag's traditional
triangle fold, was meant toevoke a three-cornered hat, like
the kind George Washington wore.

I'm trying to oh this one so everybody knows the

Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
So Thomas Jefferson believed that a new Constitution
should be written every 19years.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
