SPEAKER_01Um anyways, he had an American flag in his mouth and it was a t-shirt, and I'm walking around Amsterdam on 4th of July, and I'm like, there's nobody wearing anything remotely American. Like I'm just walking around like a crazy person. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06Like a free person. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But I was saying, hey, happy Fourth of July to everybody. They were not having it.
SPEAKER_06In Amsterdam, you were saying that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And they were not having it.
SPEAKER_06No.
SPEAKER_01They don't want to have any. They were all drugged up, I'm sure.
SPEAKER_03Does does like but does like London make that Amsterdam? London, I mean, or not London, but UK did do they have like a Independence Day? Are we the only country that sells the well they celebrate Magna Carta?
SPEAKER_01They have, yeah, they they don't have uh their declaration is Magna Carta, which was a Jay-Z album. It's a magic.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_01It's their freedom, like as far as um from King Jor John, I guess, because King John was like a a tyrant.
SPEAKER_06He was a real tyrant, he was a real meaning. He was the worst.
SPEAKER_01Well, he's the one that like you know, the what's that uh Robin Hood, like the cartoon? Oh yeah. Robin Hood, and then they have King John with the Fox. It's like King Richard was like the they have King Richard, it's the lioness, and this is the way we need your brother with all the history stuff.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he would definitely know. He's more into Roman stuff though.
SPEAKER_01Oh but yeah, it's pretty, yeah, that's pretty interesting. Okay. Yeah. So I got some uh I got some US news to celebrate our country.
SPEAKER_03Fitty.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So a couple things. Um first thing is that we've got, of course, the World Cup going on right now.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_01And as we are recording this, well, USA is going to play on July 1st, their next big game. They have a game as we're recording this. It's already played in the back since we just dropped this episode, but they're playing Turkey this week that we're recording it. But um the you know, Europe is taking over and everybody's seeing all the cool reels. I don't know if you've been watching all the reels and all the the Instagram stuff and YouTube stuff on all the Europeans taking over. Have you seen that, Jared?
SPEAKER_06Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_06No, I'm not into the news or yeah.
SPEAKER_01So well, the World Cup is here. It's actually North America. The World Cups in North America. It's played in Mexico, Canada, and here. But it's I think six city.
SPEAKER_06When you say here, are you saying like Tennessee?
SPEAKER_01Sixteen cities across Mexico, Canada, and United States. So in the United States, it's um Jersey, New Jersey, Philadelphia.
SPEAKER_03Tampa or Florida. Is it Florida?
SPEAKER_01Um, Florida. No, um Dallas is another one, LA, um, somewhere in Washington, I think Seattle, um, Chicago.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, so they're all over and they're playing.
SPEAKER_06And it's like they take Atlanta, it's another one. Yeah, any any high, high crime area. Right.
SPEAKER_01Well, the Engl the English team, they had to bring in saunas to acclimate their bodies to the heat because they couldn't they couldn't handle it at the end.
SPEAKER_06Couldn't handle American heat.
SPEAKER_01We're bringing the heat. Yeah, so they couldn't handle it. I found out that the U.S. soccer team, their practice field or where their training is, is in Georgia, in Atlanta.
SPEAKER_06Georgia.
SPEAKER_01So that's kind of cool. But all these Europeans are coming over and they're finding some really cool stuff that they love. And here's one of the things that they are finding that they love.
SPEAKER_00International World Cup fans have discovered one of America's greatest treasures, and now the TSA has been forced to step in. The agency is reminding travelers that ranch dressing counts as a liquid after a wave of international visitors apparently fell in love with the condiment during the World Cup. In a social media post, TSA wrote, if you're visiting for a very large sporting event and you happen to discover ranch while you're here, please pack it in your checked bag on the phone. Thank you. Then they later added, please avoid chugging your ranch outside security. Well, you're not gonna get sick. After she wrote, Why didn't no one tell me ranch sauce is like crack? You're up, we need ranch ASAP. Others have been raving about everything from Waffle House to Texas Roadhouse to raising canes. TSA says if you want to take ranch home, put full-size bottles in your checked luggage, or as many Americans suggested online, bring home ranch seasoning packets and make your own. And that's a good thing.
SPEAKER_06I've heard so many things compared to this crack and I've never tried it, but it makes me want to go like maybe we should just go straight to the crack.
SPEAKER_05Everything is like it's always a Christmas crack.
SPEAKER_06It's some kind of dessert that they'll give. I'm like, I'm very interested in what they keep comparing it to. If this is so great that everything is compared to it, why not just try the crack?
SPEAKER_03Okay, maybe it's not good owned, but I'm just saying Or it's so good you gotta slap your mama.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I'm sure a lot of crack kids are slapping their mama.
SPEAKER_03Really? Probably on crack. It had to have been.
SPEAKER_01But I thought this was pretty crazy that people are like going bananas over the city. Over some ranch.
SPEAKER_06I mean, ranch is good.
SPEAKER_01It is good.
SPEAKER_06And I can tell you this, if you had never had it and you were to go to UK and go, what is this? And you'd be like, why don't we have the like why don't they have ranch over in the I don't know. I don't think they have a lot of peanut butter either.
SPEAKER_01They don't have a lot of peanut butter. There's a lot of stuff we don't have ice. Peanut butter and ranch.
SPEAKER_06They don't have ice. I know that for a fact. Yeah. When I was in Europe, you know, I got my Coke from McDonald's, it comes with no ice. I'm like, hey man, can I get a cup of ice? Like, we don't have ice.
SPEAKER_03I'm like, You got water in the refrigerator, don't you? Yeah, we've seen all these videos where it almost seems like America's PR team is not that good. Like we have all these hidden gems and they're like being found out now.
SPEAKER_01Right. Barbecue is a big gym that people are going bananas over barbecue.
SPEAKER_03Really?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. In Texas, because they played in Texas, like in Dallas. So a lot of people are having barbecue. They're not having it in North Carolina, but in in Texas, they're having barbecue.
SPEAKER_03This is where I get sauce. Well, see, come on. You're gonna get him riled up here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_07He gets riled up in his barbecue.
SPEAKER_03But no, well, barbecue is pork, people.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so Texas brisket.
SPEAKER_03Brisket, that's what you call beef.
SPEAKER_06What would you just call if you had a grilled chicken with barbecue sauce on that? Well, what would how would you what would you call that?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I call it barbecue chicken. Barbecue chicken sandwich.
SPEAKER_03Right, okay. And that's that's not pork. And it's so good. But it's just barbecued chicken. It just says barbecue.
unknownYeah, okay.
SPEAKER_03I'll be okay with barbecue beef.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I'm okay with that.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Okay. But if you say but if I invite you over and go, man, I'm having barbecue, then you're expecting pork. Um well nowadays I'm gonna ask. If I'm in Tennessee, I'm gonna ask. If I'm in North Carolina, I'm like, oh yeah, let's go. You know, you know it's pig, it's coming.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and you know it's vinegar based.
SPEAKER_03And it's gonna be amazing. Yes. That's what I know. I don't have to ask. That's what I know. Yeah. That's crazy. Somewhere in Tennessee invites you to barbecue, you gotta ask. You're like, what do you mean? No, well it means they're gonna have baked beans and yeah, that's good. Like, now listen, uh, right there in Memphis, they're gonna throw down some barbecue. Yes. And a lot of ribs and rendezvous.
SPEAKER_01That's the big restaurant there.
SPEAKER_03Anyways.
SPEAKER_01But other places, other things that are going like viral is not I mean the ranch, the barbecue, and also free refills. That was the big thing.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, do you see that?
SPEAKER_01It's like because in other other countries they don't have free refills.
SPEAKER_06Well, in other countries, do they pay four dollars for that coke that they just bought?
SPEAKER_01That's why people are going bananas.
SPEAKER_06They're like friend refill.
SPEAKER_03You bought two of them at the beginning with, you just didn't drink all of them. Right. There was like, well, yeah, well, the one famous reels going on right now, this uh guy from uh Italy or something like that. I think he's from Italy, yeah. And he gets us Coke, and uh anyway, he finds out that it's free refill. So he's like, I'm gonna drink a thousand of these. Like, you can't drink watch me. And he's like, just down on them.
SPEAKER_01He's going crazy. Like, I can't believe this is a thing.
SPEAKER_06It's like getting off the ship and then like somebody telling you it's duty free. Yeah. And they're like, What's duty? And you're like, oh, there's a lot of duty that you don't know about. This is duty free, and you're like, Oh, I'll buy all of it then. Yeah, stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's crazy. People are going bananas over the pre-refills, and people are going bananas over air conditioning.
SPEAKER_06I don't know if you can say they're going bananas over ranch.
SPEAKER_01Well, they're going crazy over air conditioning, too, because they're not used to air conditioning.
SPEAKER_06That checks out. I have to have AC.
SPEAKER_01So, and because they're going in, they're saying like you go into like Walmart or a grocery store and it's like winter, and then you come out and it's summer, and then they're like ver videos of people going in and out of the state.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, they think the homeless are stupid, of course. They're not just running in these places to come on, man. Come on.
SPEAKER_01Okay, and so there we go. And we got um, okay, so this is pretty cool. So US soccer team prays before they at the end of the match and before, so this is kind of cool that they sweet. They are two zip on Australia. I mean, look at all of them. It's a whole team praise together. It's a cool team. So it's a team that's gonna win. Well, they won. They beat Australia um since we aired this. Um, and after the game, they all got together and they prayed. But it's not just the American teams doing this, it's several other teams, and it's like prayer and like faith is like exploding on the world stage on the World Cup. It's pretty cool to see.
SPEAKER_06It's awesome. Yeah, yeah. So that's to happen in the NFL and the NBA and the MLB. Yeah, especially in the MLB. Oh, maybe you started on that man. Thank you for the Rangers. Rangers didn't cave. No, they didn't. No, and we I was uh I was in Washington uh recently and saw where they had the whole thing, you know, they just had that fight recently for the 250th uh maybe it was was it first? It was was it Trump's birthday?
SPEAKER_03No, it was the it was the White House celebration of the 250th ECHA.
SPEAKER_06It just happened. I was there like the week before that, so I saw they had that whole thing set up on the lawn. Oh, you see, like the week before. Correct, yeah.
SPEAKER_07Oh, that's crazy.
SPEAKER_06Uh I mean I watched the fight like you know live like everybody else on TV. But no, we were down there with my my daughter had a uh history club meeting or history club thing that we went to Washington. Yeah. And uh saw a quiet I mean, we were there for like four days and walked like 10, 12 miles a day. That's crazy. Did so much stuff, man. Uh really cool. But they it was all set up for this 250. What is that?
SPEAKER_01I was looking it up. How many did they have? So 4300 people attended the live event that was ticketed, but there was eighty-five thousand fans in the ellipse.
SPEAKER_06Right outside of the I mean, I wasn't there during that, I was there beforehand. That's they had it set up, but bonkers. So a lot of people that showed up for it.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_06Some good fights too. If you have Paramount, go check them out.
SPEAKER_01Now, is that what you said that you couldn't tour the White House? Was that why? I wonder.
SPEAKER_06Is because no, we actually technically the the the group we were with, it was too large of a group, and we're like, you know, you have to do that stuff months in advance. And the people who were doing it, it just did it didn't work out with the timing of us being there. You can you could still like they uh they allowed tours, we just didn't get to tour the White House this week. We did we did several other things though.
SPEAKER_01Did you say this is my house that I paid for? Can I please do it? Can I have a tour of my house?
SPEAKER_06No, no, we got pretty close to it though. I mean, as close as you could get. There's a lot of construction and just like stuff up.
SPEAKER_01What was your favorite thing that you did on your trip?
SPEAKER_06Uh the Lincoln Memorial. Oh yeah. It's so big, but it's so cool to see. You can get so close to it. And then they have that reflection pool, but it was drained. Oh, it was drained? Yeah, well, it's the biggest thing right now is going on the news with that thing.
SPEAKER_03There's no water in it when they're like fixing it or something wrong with it or something. That's the thing. They were trying to revamp it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And they spent uh we you know, our government spent like millions and millions of dollars, and it's a political issue right now because they caught people vandalizing that pool, and that's why it's tore up now. They fixed it and then they caught people vandalizing it. That's bananas.
SPEAKER_01They're vandalizing.
SPEAKER_03There's so much stuff too. I saw the changing of the guard, and super cool. Kennedy's grave. Were you talking about something where you saw it doesn't happen all the time, but someone gets out of order or something?
SPEAKER_06Or man, like when you go up to it, there there's just a it's just one guard and he's walking on this on this like carpet, whatever, yeah. Just like an area, and he goes back and forth uh protecting the grave, and then when the the changing of it, one guard brings out another guard, and then they they kind of have talk or not talk. I mean, you know, there's instructions or things that he's saying, he's checking his gun and you know, just doing stuff. And when you step up to it, there's signs that say, you know, no talking, be quiet, be respectful. And some people were speaking, I guess, too loudly. And where we were, I was on the other side, but I mean it was still within distance. Some people not in our group, they were talking too much. The guy stepped off of the thing, and they almost talked like not making fun of them, but you know how you know Batman speaks in a movie. Yeah, that's how like the main guy that he swapped. Like, I th I don't know if that's how they teach him to talk, but I mean like they said something. I can't even tell you what he said, not because I just can understand him. He mumbled something to them and said something, and they stopped whatever they was doing, and then he walked back to the that thing and then start walking back and forth. And somebody was like, Oh, so this is like, yeah, he's this this isn't like for show. He's out there protecting that grave and making sure you don't speak, and they're up there 24 hours a day. That's right, no break. Seven days a week. The lady's around, yeah, no matter what. And whether that the you can only walk, you know, there is a time that the park closes. Or the not I say park, it's not a park, I'm sorry, it's a cemetery. Then there is a time it closes, but even when it closes, they still change out that guard. I can't remember the exact what the lady said, but it was maybe it's like they change it out every hour or half hour during open time. Right. And when it's closed, they do it like every two hours, but still, and it's done the exact same way that they show it's it's a very serious ordeal. It's not too much. They will say something to you. And he's got a loaded gun on him, too.
SPEAKER_01And they're guarding the unknown, like it's the tomb of the unknown soldiers.
SPEAKER_06There's three, I think, left in there. Is what they said. There were more than there was, I think, two other ones, but since DNA and stuff had come about, they were able to locate where the two were from. So they so two of the remains were sent to their original state. There are still three that are unknown, and they will never, like I I think like like those people are so old that like that they won't, like even if stuff comes about, like they don't have any record of what they will be guarded forever. I remember who they are. That's right.
SPEAKER_01It's just the most solemn, beautiful place. It's just so peaceful, and it's of course you know that guy's very cool to walk around and see.
SPEAKER_06We did so much. Saw the Lincoln with the Lincoln theater. Yeah, very cool.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Did you did you uh do the track where you jumped off the balcony? No, no, you could see the balcony. That uh could you make the jump?
SPEAKER_06I mean, I guess if you had just murdered somebody, yeah, you could, but like it it look, I mean, I would guess it to be about 12 to 13 feet high, and then it's onto a stage.
SPEAKER_01I think he broke his foot or something when he jumped, right?
SPEAKER_06And he was on the run for like 12 days.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, that's wild. Yeah, that is wild. Very cool.
SPEAKER_06Give me a good chance to go.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, take it. That's awesome. Did you see like did Lincoln get up like in not at the museum?
SPEAKER_07No, no, because he didn't know the little thing.
SPEAKER_06But we did have uh whoever um the the Miss Roundtree who who set it up did a wonderful job. They had we had uh one of our dinners, we had a Lincoln impersonator, and the guy came in and you know the all the kids got to go up to Mr. President, and he talked to all of them, and it was very good, very, very cool. Oh, that was a cool experience. Yeah, yeah, it's shout out Miss Roundtree, Christina Roundtree.
SPEAKER_01Great, America, awesome. Well, um apparently America's got a new theme song. Um
SPEAKER_06What is that? This is what was our original theme song?
SPEAKER_01Going around. Well, America the Beautiful, I guess. Okay. But this has become very popular, and all the other countries in the world at the World Cup are singing this.
SPEAKER_03Oh, is it the Slinger song? Country Road? I hear that a lot. Is it?
SPEAKER_01It is.
SPEAKER_03They love the chants. I like them too.
SPEAKER_06That's cool. It's cool when everyone singed too and they know what they're doing.
SPEAKER_01It's pretty crazy that's cool. Everybody's singing, but it's like, I mean, that crowd was full of mostly Australians and Americans, but there was lots of people that were from other countries that English is not their language. And so they're still singing.
SPEAKER_03They're still singing.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. It's pretty awesome.
SPEAKER_03That's the only English they know, isn't it? The lyrics of that happy birthday song.
SPEAKER_01That's right.
unknownThey're just singing that.

SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's pretty packed. And the thing is is that do they still have the train that runs down there? Yeah, that used used to, I thought that 4th of July that they would take a train down there.
SPEAKER_03So Nashville Star Yeah, I I think they still do. And I think you have to have pre-registered tickets because they have to account for they had a really bad time one year where they sold too many tickets and had a str had people stranded down there.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I remember that year. So this says here that this year's festivities will be the largest fireworks and drone show in the history of Nashville.

SPEAKER_03I'm like you, man. The older I get, the less and less I want to be around large crowds like that. When I was younger, like with Zeke, Zeke would totally want to do something like that. Oh, yeah. And when I was his age, I'm like, yeah, let's go. But now um I've progressed in years. I don't know if it's wisdom or just have had my fool of it. I just probably I just I I think it's traffic.
SPEAKER_01I think that's all.
SPEAKER_06Oh, that's even that's even I'm not even I'm not even mentioning traffic. I'm talking about like if I could go down there and park and still have to deal with that, I wouldn't. If traffic wasn't even involved, I would get to the bottom. I don't like people like running into you and stepping on your shoes and stepping on your shoes. Yeah, you haven't been in a crowd that's like so crowded, like people are like you're bumping into people.
SPEAKER_01I don't think it's gonna be where shoe stepping.

SPEAKER_01Fire the hole!
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01No, that would be horrible.
SPEAKER_06I think it's gonna be something like that. They're over there having fun with him because they know he's served. Either that or he's maybe maybe he's armed right now and he pulls out his piece.

SPEAKER_01He's gonna turn around, there's gonna be a big black stain on the back of his shirt.
SPEAKER_03Won't be the first one.
SPEAKER_01Wow.
SPEAKER_03But yeah, so there you go. Have you ever uh well what's your stance on fireworks? Like, do you do you like uh like spend a bunch of money or do you go somewhere where they fire fireworks? I don't do either.
SPEAKER_06You don't like fireworks? I but again it has nothing to like I love fireworks. I just we just I've just never invested in going and buying them. Sometimes, I mean every once, every few years maybe we'll go get a bunch, but usually we don't. But I mean I'm I'm not against them. We fire them in our like when I was a kid, we fired them in the street.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um and where we live now, definitely we'd go backyard, probably get a might neighbors might complain, but I don't know. We're out in the middle of nowhere, you can't complain too much.
SPEAKER_01You fire like bottle like Oh, I would sure do bottle rockets.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, would you just hold them or in the bottle? Like you ever take them, light them, and throw them. Yeah, when I was a kid, we would do that. Yeah, but uh no, if I had my kids, I'd I would let I would use the bottle and like what it's for. We would do stuff like even in the bottle and then like hold holding the bottle and like firing it. At each other? Yeah, we have wars like that.
SPEAKER_01That's a total guy thing.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah, we would do that.
SPEAKER_01Because girls do not do that when we're young. Just shoot bottle rockets at each other. Right.
SPEAKER_06No, y'all have tickle fights and whatever.
SPEAKER_01Sure, yeah, that's exactly what it was.
SPEAKER_06Scrapbooking.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Scrap on Fourth of July, our Fourth of July scrapbook party.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we didn't we didn't have fireworks growing up like in Texas and Kansas because it was like banned. You couldn't, because you'd like light the whole state on fire.
SPEAKER_06You gotta go outside city lines to get them.
SPEAKER_01And then we moved here, and I was like, what is going on?
SPEAKER_06Even here, you can like a certain place. You can go to a parking lot and just find a tent selling explosives, is what it is.
SPEAKER_01It's the most ridiculous. I I can't even believe it. Like I still think it's crazy. When our first house in Tennessee, we were our first first fourth of July. I'm like, okay, well, people are firing fireworks, whatever. No, we're sitting in the back porch, and now it's just normal, but we're sitting on the back porch and it's just it's literally like you are at an event. Fairgrounds or fireworks commercial grade. Commercial grade. We're standing in the backyard and you can feel that like the shrapnel hit you.
SPEAKER_06That's when you know it's shrapnel hit you. It's crazy. That's real close. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it's great. I'll get video, I'm sure, and post it on Instagram. If you watch Instagram, we'll post some um neighborhood fireworks.
SPEAKER_03Last year it rained, so it was not as big, but yeah, but there were there was fireworks last year. Yeah, but it in the past it's always been bigger, but I think last year because of the rain, whatever it was.
SPEAKER_01Oh, this year it's gonna be crazy because of the 250.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I don't recall exactly where, but my aunt used to live in Norcross in Atlanta. And we would drive from here to Atlanta, and somewhere in between there, there was always the store called Big Daddy's Fireworks. Yeah. Oh yeah, I know that picture like the it's this huge like cartoon drawing of this Big Daddy with a fireworks. Like that place was open year-round. We would drive, we would go into Atlanta, we would see it and coming back, we'd always like, hey, Big Daddy's Big Daddy's fireworks open.
SPEAKER_01And it was on the Tennessee side. Yeah, because it was Tennessee's.
SPEAKER_06No matter what time of year, be you go to Big Daddy's.
SPEAKER_01Well, that in Tennessee, I mean, it's firework time on 4th of July on Christmas, on New Year's.
SPEAKER_03I mean, they're like on Fernando's birthday. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Memorial Day.
SPEAKER_03Moving on to the next one. We got uh fourth in the burbs. All right. Okay. The burbs.

SPEAKER_01All right, let's see what happens here.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I don't know if I can. What do you think? I don't know. Um in the burb. What would happen in the? I don't I don't know. I've never watched the fireworks in the suburbs.
SPEAKER_01I think it's gonna clip to something else.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you think?
SPEAKER_05It's not gonna keep showing that same kid looking at a green screen. Yeah. Okay, Amber.
SPEAKER_01That's just a guess.
SPEAKER_03This is serious. That's just a guess. Okay, that's what happens. Watching the fireworks in the suburbs. He's watching a bunch of Marshall Gray fireworks. You want somebody hitting their okay. Fireworks in the hood. Oh, okay. There's no right back down. Man, I'm telling you. That's about right. Yeah, like I remember distinctly uh all kinds of stories like this. Uh one, we're in Myrtle Beach, me and my brother, we're on the beach July 4th, and we're just hanging out, and it's getting dusk, and people are lighting every you know, lighting fireworks here and there uh around the beach. But as soon as that sun set, it was like it just increased, it crescendoed where everybody was lighting it, but there was no direction of where people were fire. So it was scary. It was like Vietnam or like Baghdad or Antioch. Right. So I mean, you had rockets and everything going by your head. We are like like belly crawling on the beach, getting back to the dunes.
SPEAKER_05Like you're like you at the Normandy one.
SPEAKER_03We were storming the beach, and it, you know, it actually felt pretty patriotic. I was like, man, I got to feel what the troops are, you know, why they're falls in the world. You got to feel what the troops are feeling. Yeah, a revolutionary out of here, dude.
SPEAKER_02Fireworks, they're they're they're risking their life. You're going, I got to feel what the troops are feeling. I said similar.

SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And we had bought those smoke bombs, and they were throwing smoke bombs at each other.
