Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:16

Pretty much. I don't rank my holidays.

Speaker 1 2:19

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:19

But Fourth of July is probably in my top 25.

Speaker 1 2:24

It's just so hot, it's so hot, I mean, and people are outside and you end the day with the fireworks and everybody's done before those start. You know? Yeah, because we're exhausted and we all need a Gatorade IV.

Speaker 2 2:40

Yeah, I mean if Christmas was on July 4th and the tree was in the backyard it wouldn't be high on my list either.

Speaker 1 2:47

No, no.

Speaker 2 2:50

Man, yeah, it's just hot.

Speaker 1 2:52

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:53

But find shade wherever you're at. Yeah, a box fan Drink a water every now and then.

Speaker 1 2:58

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:59

Stay hydrated.

Speaker 1 3:00

Yeah.

Speaker 2 3:01

Take a trip to Alaska.

Speaker 1 3:03

I don't know, it's probably hot there. Just go get the bag of ice outside the Mapco.

Speaker 2 3:08

Yeah, take it home, go in that. What do they have at gas stations, like that beer cave or whatever, you know, when you like.

Speaker 1 3:15

Oh yeah, Some places where you can walk in it, yeah. Yeah, some of the grocery stores have that. I don't buy beer. Yeah, stores have that, I don't buy beer, yeah, but, um, we're just gonna go in here and play a game of dominoes. We're gonna cool off a minute. We've been outside, we're about to go watch fireworks, so I have to recalibrate. Um, yeah, yeah anyway.

50 Facts About Independence Day

Speaker 2 3:35

Well, I did find um, let's drop some knowledge. Uh, I found a 50 facts about the fourth of july.

Speaker 1 3:43

Okay.

Speaker 2 3:44

Because I was scrolling. Yeah Well, I guess on the internet, I'm not on the medias, but I was scrolling, I was like oh the 4th is coming up. I want to see if I knew any of these. Yeah, yeah or let me say, did not know any of these. So I'm not going to read out 50 facts, because it's hot.

Speaker 1 4:02

Ain't nobody got time for that, and everybody's waiting on fireworks. Yeah, ain't, nobody on a boat going.

Speaker 2 4:06

Did you hear number 32?

Speaker 1 4:08

No, they're like is my hot dog done yet?

Speaker 2 4:13

Yeah, but a couple I thought were interesting.

Speaker 1 4:17

One was you're not supposed to wear American flags. That really puts Old Navy in an uncomfortable position remember like forever. It was like family t-shirts, old navy 1997, 19 and that had the year on them.

Speaker 2 4:32

Yeah, they still get the whole collection, tank tops, everything muscle shirts. It's a flag code and it states the flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. I don't know who's got American flag drapes.

Speaker 1 4:49

I don't know, that's next level.

Speaker 2 4:56

Or bedding.

Speaker 1 4:57

Bedding. Wow, yeah, I don't get that one. Yeah, I don't either.

Speaker 2 5:02

But also another fact is every Major League Baseball team will be playing on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 5:10

Really.

Speaker 2 5:11

So if you need something to do for eight hours while you're eating your hot dogs, there's a baseball game.

Speaker 1 5:17

Right, that's kind of slow and not very stressful.

Speaker 2 5:20

Yeah.

Speaker 1 5:22

With a steady pace. Yeah, can you tell I'm not a baseball fan.

Speaker 2 5:27

This game started in 1776.

Speaker 1 5:30

It's still going, it's in the third inning. The skeletons with uniforms on are the team Wow.

Speaker 2 5:40

Well, here's another one. I'm not numbering these because nobody cares. No, no, we're just hitting the highlights this one seemed, I'm going to say, like common sense.

Speaker 1 5:50

Yeah.

Speaker 2 5:51

Fireworks are a huge business. You think I'm going to say yeah, in case you didn't know.

Speaker 1 5:55

Yeah, just come to my house and I live in Nashville proper, but don't nobody care. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 6:02

Proper, but don't nobody care. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. It says 600 million in fireworks imports.

Speaker 1 6:07

That seems low. I was going to say that too.

Speaker 2 6:10

Which I will say Nashville, the one they do downtown. I looked it up, it seems low here.

Speaker 1 6:16

Yeah.

Speaker 2 6:17

Half a million.

Speaker 1 6:18

Oh, that doesn't seem right. That doesn't seem right.

Speaker 2 6:20

Because that thing lasts for 30. I don't know where they're getting their fireworks.

Speaker 1 6:25

Yeah, but it ain't Big Bob's on like I-24 going to Chattanooga or something like that?

Speaker 2 6:29

Yeah, it ain't. What was it?

Speaker 1 6:31

Crazy Bills, or whatever it ain't in that trailer, no, or the side of the road stand, yeah.

Fireworks and Food Spending

Speaker 2 6:37

If you shot fireworks for 40 minutes and you bought them at Crazy Bills or Eddie's or whatever it was, yeah. That would cost you like $3 billion.

Speaker 1 6:45

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 2 6:48

But yeah, they shoot a lot. Yeah, I don't know they shoot so many fireworks you can't see them, it's just smoke.

Speaker 1 6:55

Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 6:56

Yeah, like at the end Speaking of hot dogs.

Speaker 1 6:59

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:00

And burgers and sweating while cooking them. Another one is it says Americans spend close to $10 billion on Fourth of July food. I believe that that's inflation.

Speaker 1 7:14

It's when everybody goes and buys meat. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 7:17

That's true. Yeah, Fourth of July is meat, yeah it's just meat.

Speaker 1 7:20

It's like barbecue ribs steaks. Y'all want some grilled chicken. Who wants some shrimp kebabs?

Speaker 2 7:27

I mean it's everything, forrest Gump. It's all of it. It's just meat and fruit and a bag of chips. Yeah, you got some Lay's potato chips.

Speaker 1 7:34

That's about. All the heat you can take is with meat, and then you got to eat something cold. And a watermelon yeah, ooh, ice cold watermelon.

Speaker 2 7:40

Like an ice cold watermelon.

Speaker 1 7:41

Ooh, that's good.

Speaker 2 7:42

Why are we?

Speaker 1 7:43

Yeah, man, I want some watermelon right now.

Speaker 2 7:46

Watermelon always sounds delicious.

Speaker 1 7:49

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:50

And then you're like it's refreshing. And you gotta pick it out and it's ginormous, I don't do it.

Speaker 1 7:55

And then did you put it in the fridge.

Speaker 2 7:57

I forgot. Yeah, just eat an ice cube with each bite. It'll be the same thing.

Speaker 1 8:01

But it'll be the same thing. I'm at the age now. I'm like, if I want it, I'm getting a pre-cut.

Speaker 2 8:06

I know, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 8:07

It's bougie. Yeah, yeah, I don't buy it often. I'm not buying it like all the time, but I'm not hauling a huge watermelon and then, because you want to wash it off before you cut it, you know what I'm saying yeah, and, and. Then you got on the counter and who's got a cutting board that big? What kind of knife are we using here?

Speaker 2 8:26

You're always trying to put it on a paper plate.

Speaker 1 8:30

Can you go get the home light chainsaw? You know, let's cut it outside. Yeah, there'll be no ants after that. You know what I'm saying? It's a whole thing.

Speaker 2 8:39

I don't know. And to people I know different people put stuff on a watermelon. Well, we do know. And to people I know different people put stuff on a watermelon.

Speaker 1 8:45

Well, we did salt, we used to salt a watermelon I still do sometimes my husband that and he was like I'm sorry what I thought everybody did remember the salt shaker. You always put salt on it. I didn't eat a bite without salt till I was probably in high school yeah, we were like cows, just like, was that salt block? No, remember you kind of cut them like long ways and just have a long boat worth you know like animals.

Speaker 2 9:12

Yeah, just sitting around table and people would hunch over.

Speaker 1 9:15

Yeah, just eat it just yeah, seeds, and flies everywhere right it ain't coming out of your clothes either.

Speaker 2 9:22

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:22

That stain's there to stay.

Speaker 2 9:24

That American flag t-shirt is ruined.

Speaker 1 9:28

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

Speaker 2 9:34

Yeah, anyway, yeah Well, I wonder how much of that $10 billion is watermelons.

Speaker 1 9:40

I don't know, but now I want a burger.

Speaker 2 9:41

I know it also says I'm guessing these are facts. That's what it said.

Speaker 1 9:46

It's on the internet. Yeah, it's on the internet.

Speaker 2 9:48

It's got to be true, it is true 50 million Americans travel more than 50 miles, which we did when this comes out, because we drove eight hours. Oh good gracious. Seven or eight.

Speaker 1 10:00

See, we're not going Down to the Gulf. Yeah, not on the 4th.

Speaker 2 10:03

Which gas always goes up?

Watermelon Debates

Speaker 1 10:05

I know it's always right before the 4th. They're just waiting. Memorial Day, the 4th Labor Day.

Speaker 2 10:10

We dropped some barrels. We didn't mean to.

Speaker 1 10:13

We'll have to bump it up a little bit.

Speaker 2 10:16

Oh it's cold and nobody's driving anywhere. Guess what Gas is cheaper.

Speaker 1 10:19

Right.

Speaker 2 10:21

The oldest continuously running 4th of July parade is in Bristol Road Island Are 4th of July parades.

Speaker 1 10:31

I guess they are. Are they a? Thing?

Speaker 2 10:33

I get it, I ain't going to lie. Little neighborhoods do them.

Speaker 1 10:35

But you know, like I get a New Year's Eve if you want to bundle up and do that business, whatever. Or Thanksgiving Day parade, Macy's Day, whatever it's called, but Fourth of July parade. I feel like the only reason people 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 blue streamers, everybody's got a little bitty flag and it's just. We're going to leave here and we're going to meet at the pool.

Speaker 1 11:00

Yes.

Speaker 2 11:01

And there'll be a the shave ice truck is going to be there.

Speaker 1 11:04

Yeah right.

Speaker 2 11:05

And then everybody's going to go swimming. I guess, big cities have parades.

Speaker 1 11:09

Yeah, big cities, maybe small towns.

Speaker 2 11:12

I'll tell you what if I'm in a marching band, I ain't marching in that, uh-uh, they should be in flag tank tops.

Speaker 1 11:19

Yeah, there ain't no way like. Phoenix Arizona is having a parade. Oh no, Indoor.

Speaker 2 11:23

We're going to start here and we're going to melt 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, I know 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 why that's on this. Probably 100 million of them are 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?

Speaker 2 11:51

I've transitioned to turkey dogs and now I haven't had a hot dog in like two or three 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 be like oops. I dropped it. I ain't eating it, no okay I can't do it, it's just a mental block now see, I, I'm, I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 1 12:10

I love a good hot dog I used to love.

Speaker 2 12:12

I used to love sauerkraut.

Speaker 1 12:13

Some onions I like, some onions, some yellow mustard, I want some relish, I want some wickles relish on that oh yeah, and then maybe a little bit of barbecue sauce yeah not ketchup, I do a tiny bit.

Speaker 2 12:27

I do a little ketchup and a little more.

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 the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, which I don't know. Who's on that? Joey Chestnut and two other people I don't know? The hot dog eating dude yeah, I think. 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 every year? I expect him to be dead.

Speaker 2 12:57

He does that's. All he does is eating competitions. So he does that like once a year, 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.

Speaker 2 13:15

He's slowing, he ain't fasting.

Speaker 1 13:18

How is he alive? 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 three or 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

Golly.

Speaker 1 13:42

We're going to stop right here. If we add another island, who cares? We add another island? Who?

Speaker 2 13:49

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

Speaker 1 14:00

Okay, I don't think I knew that.

Speaker 2 14:01

I did not know that.

Speaker 1 14:02

I did not know that.

Speaker 2 14:05

I'm trying to oh this one so everybody knows the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. Give me your John Hancock yeah On this, herbie Hancock, yes, yeah. But what I thought was funny is John Hancock signed it.

Speaker 1 14:22

Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 14:22

Ginormous.

Speaker 1 14:24

Mm-hmm yeah.

Speaker 2 14:24

And then everybody. I just it's kind of like when you get your yearbook signed, or anything, yeah, and then everybody.

Speaker 1 14:29

I just. It's kind of like when you get your yearbook signed or anything.

Speaker 2 14:31

Oh, he's that guy, or anything like oh, the whole team's going to sign this basketball.

Speaker 1 14:34

And then the one guy, and then one guy does it huge and it's like dude, yeah, now we got to Turn it sideways.

Speaker 2 14:39

I'm surprised nobody did that on the Declaration of Independence, that's funny, like had to turn it sideways.

Speaker 1 14:50

Yeah, in the margins. Hope you have a great summer. Yeah right, oh gosh, sorry, oh.

Speaker 2 14:55

Also, it says Independence Day should have been celebrated on July 2nd, although the document was dated.

Speaker 1 15:07

July 4th, Congress actually voted for independence from Great Britain two days prior.

Speaker 2 15:09

It apparently wasn't signed by everyone until a month later, on August 2nd.

Speaker 1 15:15

They're like. We sent you this docusign two weeks ago. Can you please log in already?

Speaker 2 15:22

My iPad's not working.

Speaker 1 15:25

Speaker 2 15:26

Which, the 2nd of July, doesn't sound good, it does not roll off the tongue.

Speaker 1 15:29

No, I do not like that. I mean, I think that's why they to it, I promise, which the 2nd of July doesn't sound good. Does not roll off the tongue? No, I do not like that.

Speaker 2 15:32

I mean, I think that's why they did it yeah.

Speaker 1 15:35

July 4th, it sounds better.

Speaker 2 15:37

What are you?

Speaker 1 15:37

doing on the 4th? What are you doing on the 2nd?

Speaker 2 15:39

I don't know why are you saying this? I'm getting ready for the 4th.

Speaker 1 15:51

Speaker 2 15:51

you doing? Yeah, what else Okay? Well, three presidents who signed the Declaration of Independence died on July 4th.

Speaker 1 15:57

That's interesting, john Adams.

Speaker 2 16:01

Thomas Jefferson and then James Monroe.

Speaker 1 16:04

Wow. That's kind of creepy.

Speaker 2 16:07

That's a bummer and the Liberty Bell rings 13 times every Independence Day to honor the 13 original states. I've never heard that Let freedom ring. I don't know, I've never been there.

Speaker 1 16:20

I've never been to Philadelphia, yeah.

Speaker 2 16:32

Get a cheesesteak. Oh, I know, speaking of food, we're starving hoagies and water. Yeah, let's do it oh, it says okay, no, maybe these facts are wrong because now it says americans spend over a billion on fireworks. That's every year.

Speaker 1 16:48

Okay, that's not right. You think it's more, it's gotta be more. Think about the Super Bowl, yeah.

Speaker 2 16:56

New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1 16:57

Right, my neighborhood yeah.

Speaker 2 17:01

Yeah, the guy next door yeah right.

Speaker 1 17:04

Seriously, it's crazy, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 17:07

Fourth of July sales have been a thing for a while.

Speaker 1 17:09

You think yeah.

Speaker 2 17:11

According to Live Science I don't know what that is it was seen as unpatriotic if you kept your business open on Independence Day before the Civil War, but after restaurants and stores started having sales on red, white, blue merchandise Yep. And they've continued ever since, I guess mattresses are white Yep depot, lows, car places, furniture places.

Presidential History Tidbits

Speaker 1 17:36

Come on down to handy tv warehouse. We got a fourth. Where was that place? Which one handy tv warehouse. That same guy did the commercials in alabama forever, I don't know. And appliance.

Speaker 2 17:49

Speaker 1 17:52

Handy TV warehouse.

Speaker 2 17:54

I'm going to have to find that out.

Speaker 1 17:55

Yeah.

Speaker 2 17:57

Also Calvin Coolidge.

Speaker 1 17:59

Okay.

Speaker 2 18:00

Was the only president born on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 18:03

Birthday and fireworks.

Speaker 2 18:04

That's the only thing I know about that dude Yep, me too, calvin Yep.

Speaker 1 18:08

Sorry what.

Speaker 2 18:08

That's the only thing I know about that dude. Yep, me too, calvin. Yep, sorry, what else? Oh, the Declaration and the Constitution were signed in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 18:15

I guess I knew that A lot of history. Yeah, we should go there.

Speaker 2 18:19

Okay, this one I thought was smart.

Speaker 1 18:21

Okay.

Speaker 2 18:22

So Thomas Jefferson believed that a new Constitution should be written every 19 years.

Speaker 1 18:29

I don't know how he came up with 19. 19, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 18:31

But he said if and I'm quoting don't get mad at me one generation of men has, he asked? He said If one generation of men has the right to bind another. The lands would belong to the dead and not to the living, which would be the reverse of our principle, which is one of the smartest things I've ever read.

Speaker 1 18:54

That's deep Thomas Thomas.

Speaker 2 18:56

What's up, Tom Knowledge bombs.

Speaker 1 18:59

I'm saying yeah.

Speaker 2 19:01

It makes sense.

Speaker 1 19:02

Right, well, things change and progress. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense, right, well, things change and progress. And like yeah, yeah, I mean like nice, great, because we don't want to be like we were. I mean lots of ways.

Speaker 2 19:13

19 seems like a lot of rewriting, but it's probably should be more than ever.

Speaker 1 19:19

Like to hunt, you know, yeah well, it's the time from a person when they're born to their young adulthood that you know you've. There's been a whole nother crop of adults that are about to go out to the world, college work, whatever we didn't have electricity right I know, and they're just like using quills and yeah, let's keep this the same forever and ever. I don't know, there's some messed up stuff in there. You think we should? Oh no.

Speaker 2 19:46

No, it'll be fine. Yeah, hey, do you think seven-year-olds will ever have smartphones?

Speaker 1 19:50

No, no, no, that's fine. Let's just write this for eternity.

Speaker 2 19:55

Let's just keep it the way it is. Nothing will ever change. People are always going to ride horses. There won't be auto taxis. Yeah, yeah, but anyway.

Speaker 1 20:04

Life is like hold my beer. Let me give you some of this AI for a minute. Have you heard of AI?

Speaker 2 20:10

Yeah, yeah. But we should do that, yeah, or even just make it a good number, like 20 every 25. That sounds good.

Speaker 1 20:18

Yeah, four times a century yeah.

Speaker 2 20:21

Whatever, tweak it, tweaks, tweak it. Small towns spend $8,000 to $15,000 on 4th of July. I believe that totally, and the last one on this list. There was 50, so we saved y'all. It's a tradition to eat salmon on the 4th of July in New England. You know where I'm to eat salmon on the 4th of July in New England. You know where I'm not going to celebrate the 4th of July, new England Alongside peas. The tradition likely dates back to the fact that peas ripened at the same time as the fish.

Speaker 1 21:00

Fish don't ripen. Who wrote?

Speaker 2 21:01

this. This needs to get revised every 19 years. That's making the two a good pairing around the same time.
