Transcript
Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack time for my favorite time of the week when we chat with my dear old friend Alabama Bama.
Speaker A:She joins us on the phone now.
Speaker A:And Bama, have you seen all the videos of these visitors from other countries here in America for the World Cup?
Speaker A:And they're.
Speaker A:They're showing off their experience of America for the first time.
Speaker B:Oh, I've seen them, Haystack.
Speaker B:And I told y' all this was a gonna happen.
Speaker B:These Europeans are losing their minds over how great America is.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's right, Bama.
Speaker A:And what all is it that they're impressed by?
Speaker B:Oh, everything, Haystack.
Speaker B:I saw this one foreign feller in a Sam's Club on a TikTok staring at a giant package of meatballs and asking, who needs eight pounds of meatballs?
Speaker A:Be fair.
Speaker A:That's a fair question.
Speaker B:And I said, well, nobody, but that's freedom.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, of course you did.
Speaker B:That's what they don't understand over there, Haystack.
Speaker B:In America, we don't buy things because we need them.
Speaker B:We buy things because we can.
Speaker A:Well, yeah, I guess that's one interpretation of our consumer culture.
Speaker B:I mean, who needs an Eiffel Tower when you can get tires, a birthday cake, and eye exam and rat poison all in the same building?
Speaker A:Now, I don't think the French tourism board's gonna love that comparison.
Speaker B:Oh, they'll get over it.
Speaker B:Have you ever tried to buy a 55 gallon drum of mayonnaise in Paris?
Speaker B:I rest my case.
Speaker A:No, Bama, I've never tried that.
Speaker A:No, I haven't.
Speaker B:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:America's full of beautiful sights.
Speaker B:The Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, the seasonal aisle at Sam's Club.
Speaker A:Well, one of those things is obviously not like the other.
Speaker B:Well, that's what you say.
Speaker B:I cried when I see them 12 foot skeleton decorations going up in July.
Speaker A:Oh, really?
Speaker B:Anyway, America's turning 250 years old and that is a big dad gum deal.
Speaker A:Do you have any big plans for the celebration?
Speaker B:Well, yeah, absolutely I do.
Speaker B:In fact, I needs to go.
Speaker B:It's time for my annual pre tattoo shave a thon.
Speaker A:Wait, your what?
Speaker B:Well, you can't properly celebrate freedom if the eagle's gonna look fuzzy, sugar.
Speaker A:Oh, I don't even really know what that means, and I'm not sure I wanna know.
Speaker B:Usa.
Speaker B:Usa.
Speaker B:Usa.
Speaker B:I gotta get out here and come to tattoo shop.
Speaker B:Y' all have a great day.
Speaker B:Bye.
Speaker B:Bye.
