Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

It's time for my favorite time of the week when we chat with my dear old friend Bama down in rural Alabama.

Speaker A:

She's joining us on the phone now.

Speaker A:

And Bama, I know you were pretty excited about that big America 250 birthday concert.

Speaker A:

How did you.

Speaker A:

How did you take the news when it got cancelled?

Speaker B:

Oh, crap, Haystack.

Speaker B:

I was devastated for almost 17 minutes.

Speaker B:

But then I remembered I'm an American and Americans solve problems.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker A:

I'm kind of nervous already.

Speaker B:

So I am a throwing my own birthday party for America down at the abandoned Kmart.

Speaker A:

Wait, the abandoned Kmart?

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker B:

I gotta set off a couple dozen roach foggers first, but she'll be ready in time.

Speaker A:

I don't think that's how event venues work, Bama.

Speaker B:

Well, that just shows what you know.

Speaker B:

Haystack.

Speaker B:

We've done got the entertainment booked.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker B:

First up, Tater's gonna do a live DIY tattoo removal demonstration.

Speaker A:

Wait, is Tater qualified to do that?

Speaker B:

Absolutely not.

Speaker B:

That's what makes it exciting.

Speaker A:

Of course.

Speaker B:

And then Verna's gonna perform Proud to be an American while doing an interpretive dance on a Rascal scooter.

Speaker A:

An interpretive dance?

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

The last time she did it, she accidentally backed into a petting zoo and won third place in italic contest.

Speaker A:

Ma', am, I'm not sure any of this makes any sense.

Speaker B:

And then comes the headliner.

Speaker A:

Oh, of course there's a headliner.

Speaker A:

Who's the headliner?

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah, it's me.

Speaker A:

Oh, naturally.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna perform Ice Ice Baby while standing in a kiddie pool full of smeared off ice.

Speaker B:

I'm calling it immersive theater.

Speaker A:

I think there are several reasons that that's a bad idea.

Speaker B:

Oh, you're just jealous you didn't think of it first.

Speaker A:

I'm not sure about that, but how many people are you expecting?

Speaker B:

Well, it's hard to say.

Speaker B:

It depends on how many folks get their ankle monitors approved for travel.

Speaker A:

That's not usually how attendance projections for major events work.

Speaker B:

Oh, whatever.

Speaker B:

Anyway, I gots to go.

Speaker B:

Haystack, the county is saying that we're gonna need a permit.

Speaker A:

Well, you probably do need a permit,.

Speaker B:

But that ain't nothing that a Dairy Queen gift card and a little charm can't fix.

Speaker A:

Bama, that's not how permits work.

Speaker B:

It is when you're doing a birthday party for America.

Speaker B:

Happy birthday, America.

Speaker B:

Y' all have a good day.
