A taste act sliding into a morning six pack.
Speaker A:As we head into this three day weekend, a morning six pack about your barbecue.
Speaker A:It's coming up in just a moment.
Speaker A:You ever wonder why Memorial Day somehow became America's official excuse to stand around a smoker arguing about charcoal?
Speaker A:Obviously, this was not the point.
Speaker A:Originally, Memorial Day started after the Civil War.
Speaker A:It started as Decoration Day, and people would decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and with flags.
Speaker A:It was meant as a day of remembrance, a day of reflection.
Speaker A: day to a three day weekend in: Speaker A:And Americans have fully embraced the cookout part right?
Speaker A:Recent surveys show that 65% of Americans, essentially a full 2/3 of us, plan to barbecue over the Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker A:Memorial Day is one of the biggest grilling weekends of the year, behind or alongside the Labor Day weekend and the fourth of July.
Speaker A:And let's be honest, it, it makes sense.
Speaker A:I mean, rain aside, the weather is finally decent.
Speaker A:Cold weather's pretty much over, Schools are out, and half the country has suddenly remembered that they own patio furniture.
Speaker A:So this holiday has become a mix of remembrance.
Speaker A:And I think most of us do a good job of trying to remember the reason for the holiday, but it's also a celebration.
Speaker A:So we honor those who served and then eat six hot dogs and argue over whether the lighter fluid ruins the flavor.
Speaker A:And maybe that combination is the most American thing that is possible.
Speaker A:But no matter what happens, there are at least six things that you do not want to hear at a barbecue.
Speaker B:Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker B:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker B:Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:It is the top six things that you do not want to hear at your barbecue.
Speaker A:Number six, don't worry, nothing you're eating finished lower than 10th at the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker A:Number five, you are seated at the same table as the tea party member and my cousin who works for the irs.
Speaker A:You're gonna hear what you don't want to hear at the barbecue.
Speaker A:Coming in at number four.
Speaker A:Well, depending on where you're from, the meat you're eating is either called possum or opossum.
Speaker A:Now, who wants seconds?
Speaker A:Number three, could you be a doll and help me scoop the relish out of my nana's cleavage?
Speaker A:Number two, man, there's a lot of sexy thongs out there by the pool.
Speaker A:And some of them are even being worn by women.
Speaker A:And the number one thing you do not want to hear at the barbecue.
Speaker A:These steaks were aged for 26 days in the trunk of my car.
