Ep-77: Fireworks, Sparklers & Hot Dog Propaganda 🇺🇸

Welcome back, Demon Babies! This week your hosts are celebrating everything Fourth of July. Fireworks, hot dogs, hamburgers, pool parties, beach days, watermelon, sparklers, and all the wonderfully chaotic traditions that somehow make up America's birthday. From cookout classics to questionable patriotic behavior, we're breaking down everything we love, everything we don't, and the things we somehow only do one weekend a year. And yes… all in 20 topics in 20 minutes.

The Fourth of July is more than just fireworks. It's the unofficial middle of summer, where everyone suddenly becomes a grill master, buys way too much food, and convinces themselves they'll actually stay to watch the fireworks despite the traffic home. We debate the best holiday foods, drinks, traditions, patriotic fashion choices, and whether anything beats spending the day by the pool or the beach.

Expect hot takes, summer nostalgia, holiday debates, and a full breakdown of why the Fourth of July somehow feels chaotic, wholesome, and completely unhinged all at the same time.

Listen for:
🇺🇸 Hot dogs vs hamburgers and cookout food rankings
🇺🇸 Fireworks, sparklers, and Fourth of July traditions
🇺🇸 Pool parties, beach days, and summer vibes
🇺🇸 Watermelon, beer, and holiday essentials
🇺🇸 The fastest, funniest, most chaotic 20 minutes of your week

It's actually not our 4th of July. I did it on purpose.

SPEAKER_00 1:58

You stabbed yourself in the eye on purpose.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Yeah. I thought this would be a really fun bit for the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Alright, let's get into the topics.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Alright, let's get into it.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

First topic!

SPEAKER_00 2:18

Best food for 4th of July.

SPEAKER_01 2:20

Hamburgers, hot dogs.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

How do you like your hot dog and hamburger cooked?

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Barbecue.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Okay, but like what? Wellness.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

Um chard. For the hot dog and then burger. Nicely done, but not overcooked. I don't want that chard. What about you?

SPEAKER_00 2:40

I want my burger medium. I really don't want pink. I'm over pink ground meat.

SPEAKER_01 2:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Ground meat's not supposed to be pink. Ground meat's cheap meat. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Cook it.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Cook it.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Yeah. That's why a smash burger works because it's so thin, it's always cooked through.

SPEAKER_00 2:53

It's always cooked through.

SPEAKER_01 2:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

Yeah, I'm cool with that. I don't want a medium rare burger anymore, but I want hot dogs burnt to a crisp.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Right?

SPEAKER_00 3:00

If we're doing steak, medium rare. We're not doing steak though. No. Yeah, hot dog. I want a blackened hot dog.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

Do you agree that that's the 4th of July food, or do you have a different pick for 4th of July food?

SPEAKER_00 3:10

I'm also gonna add watermelon to the group.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

I was gonna add that too.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

Watermelon's very important on 4th of July.

SPEAKER_01 3:15

I was uh chatting to my mom because we're basically doing a pre-Fourth of July family weekend this weekend, and uh she was saying she's doing burgers and corn, and all I kept thinking during the whole conversation was no hot dogs, really.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

It is odd to just not slam a pack of hotties.

SPEAKER_01 3:30

I think I'm gonna bring them a pack of dogs. I am gonna bring them.

SPEAKER_00 3:33

Get the dogs out.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

And then I said I was gonna bring salad and watermelon to round out her meal, and she went, really? And I was like, Yeah, you can't just sound like that.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

She don't like green like that.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

She don't like green spirits.

SPEAKER_00 3:42

She don't like greens like that.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Best drinks for 4th of July. Is it your drink beer?

SPEAKER_01 4:03

No, I don't drink beer, but it feels like the most 4th of July drink.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

It's the most American drink I'd say.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Root beer is also very American, I feel.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

I could see that. Root beer is very.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

If I'm going non-alcoholic, I think I'm gonna go root beer.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

If I'm going non-alcoholic, I'm going lemonade.

SPEAKER_00 4:19

Huge pole.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

SPEAKER_01 4:22

Non-alcoholic 4th of July. Crisp lemonade.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

Nice lemonade.

Tropical. Caribbean.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Beach is not that fun.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

I agree.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

It's too much traffic. It's too much traffic. It's too crazy. Fireworks at the beach aren't that worth it. And you're staying in the car for hours and it drives me fucking nuts. Pool party? Pool party.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Probably Uber there better.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

We can Uber there better. I can kick it. I can be in the water, out of the water, in the shade, in the sun. I can get drunk.

SPEAKER_00 5:54

Someone's always got to drive too much stuff.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

Yes, there's too much stuff.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

Then you need a DD.

SPEAKER_01 5:58

You can be there for hours at the pool. You can get in, out, clean bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Sleep. There's a bedroom.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:05

So many options at a house with a pool.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Has to be a house with a pool, though.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

I mean, we've pool party here. Fourth of July.

Like down to like a park pool. Park pool. That's fun.

unknown 6:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:22

I mean, if that's your only pool, whatever. But yeah, elite choice is a pool party with a house. House pool party. House pool party. House party, pool party.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Cooler, a lot of coolers filled with beers, game. People can't play games at bars.

SPEAKER_01 6:45

No, you can't play games at bars, and you can only play so many games at uh the beach.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

That too. Beach, you're really depending on the weather, too.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

It gets a little windy, you're fine. It can still be hot, but windy.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

It's hard to cool down. You don't have a tent.

SPEAKER_00 7:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

It's a whole different different ball game.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

Food, you can't get food delivered if you need to run out of alcohol. Last fourth of July, I had three bottles of tequila delivered to the party.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

SPEAKER_01 7:24

Next topic.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

Uh ideal 4th of July location. Location, location, location. They all say location's important.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Pool. Oh, do you mean city?

SPEAKER_00 7:36

I'm thinking, I'm thinking more like maybe the your your ideal pool party. Maybe you're in the Hamptons.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Hamptons? I was gonna say Hamptons.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

I feel like East Coast might be pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

I think East Coast is better. They're more patriotic over there.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

It's uh but the weather's better here.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

It's pretty warm there in the summer. It's pre early summer, it's probably not that humid yet. Where we can get June gloom pretty bad.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

Do you think there's a group of Americans that go down to Mexico to do 4th of July?

SPEAKER_01 8:02

No.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

I bet there are. Maybe you think nobody goes to Mexico for 4th of July. Maybe it just where there's more fireworks and more chaos.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

I think they go there, get the fireworks, bring them back.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Like Tula Vista is probably crazy with the fireworks.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

Or Malambu Nobu. That's another location.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

That one is my dream location. I would say that party seems insane. Is it? It seems fun to me.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

I know, but do you think it's actually good?

SPEAKER_01 8:29

I do. I think I would have a blast.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

I really wonder. But like, are you stuck at a table or is it just like a proper party?

SPEAKER_01 8:36

I think it's a proper party they do. You can move in groups.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

Do they get rid of all the tables?

SPEAKER_01 8:40

No, I think you have a table and you can move. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 8:44

I really haven't.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

I'm not in that caliber. Yeah, that's a I am want to be in that caliber. I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

That's a high caliber.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

It's a yeah, it's probably a $10,000 party.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

SPEAKER_00 9:10

All drunk drive home. All of them?

SPEAKER_01 9:12

You don't think any of them abandon their car and Uber?

SPEAKER_00 9:14

SPEAKER_00 9:23

That's who.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

So they call a car service.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Yeah. You know what I mean. I don't think they're I think they're drunk driving. Rich people love to drunk drive. Look at Tiger Woods. That's true. He's on the phone with the president.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

I was wondering, I was gonna ask you, are you gonna wear that to the pool card?

SPEAKER_01 9:55

It's like the I literally bought it only for 4th of July, so it's like my one time. I might do it, but I just don't feel very patriotic, so I might not. I might have to get some like cunty like meme shirt to go with it or something.

I feel like your family would have been big firework family.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

I don't think they ever had the money or wanted to spend the money. One, the cars were never good enough to drive all the way to Fillmore. Gas money to get to Fillmore. The cost for the fireworks. I think I think we were it was above our tax bracket.
