Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

It's time for my.

Speaker A:

Pretty much my favorite time of the week when we chat with my dear old friend Bama from rural Alabama.

Speaker A:

And, Bama, it's nearly the fourth of July.

Speaker A:

Do you have any big plans for the 4th?

Speaker B:

Oh, you better believe I got some big plans.

Speaker B:

I. I just got my tetanus shot.

Speaker B:

Refresh.

Speaker B:

Which can only mean one thing.

Speaker B:

It is fireworks season, babies.

Speaker A:

Well, I don't think that's the official signal, but okay.

Speaker B:

I've hosted a big old fireworks blowout every Fourth of July since Crystal Pepsi was invented.

Speaker B:

But this year, I'm getting paid.

Speaker B:

I'm emcee in a fireworks show in the parking lot of a vape store slash bakeshop.

Speaker A:

That sounds like a great big old lawsuit waiting to happen, Bama.

Speaker B:

Well, that's why they hired me.

Speaker B:

They said that they needed someone with a nice rack and zero regard for personal safety.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

And, well, that's me in a nutshell.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker A:

Well, what.

Speaker A:

What are you gonna do after the show?

Speaker B:

Well, ideally, I end up on some sleazy guy's boat, but more realistically, I'll end up in either a fist fight or handcuffs.

Speaker B:

Or maybe both.

Speaker A:

I am sensing for some reason a recurring theme with your holidays.

Speaker B:

Hey, that is freedom, Haystack.

Speaker B:

Blow stuff up, kiss somebody questionable, and run from the law in flip flops.

Speaker B:

Happy 4 of July.

Speaker A:

Happy 4th to you too, Bama.

Speaker A:

May your burns be minor and your bail be affordable.

Speaker B:

Amen to that.

Speaker B:

Y' all have a good four.
