Welcome back.
C
That one before.
A
Yeah, I know. And making it all happen is Drew Berham Lincoln. Your top hat kind of blends into the background. Doesn't give it the, the full effect. But I love it. I love it. Absolutely. Hey, super chats today. Let's keep the super chats America focused. I'd love to hear some fun facts of America that you guys want to. What to bring up. Whether it be fun facts, just things you, things you love about America. July 4th related will work. I don't care if it's your favorite trip or what you're about to do something cool, but we will keep it America focused. And I warn you, if it's not America focused, there's no guarantee we'll read it. I really want it to be America focused. Although I also know there's some super chats in there that have not heard that announcement, so that would be unfair. We'll read the early ones, but you've been warned.
B
Are you going to usher them in with, I don't know, something that you have next to your hand? Because it's been a year since I've heard this, so I thought we were going to ring this in.
D
Right.
A
So here ye hear ye.
B
There it is.
A
The Tier 1 podcast is in session. In fact, I, I actually just want to start this thing out with a fun fact. It's not necessarily a fun fact. Sometimes it's Just things, you know, you just forgot you, you know it. And it's going to make a lot of sense when, when I play this. And I don't think anyone is going to watch this and go, I did not know that. But I bet most people that watch you're going to go, I actually kind of forgot I knew that. And I haven't thought about that in a really long time. Drew, let's go to Instagram, just really quick and start this thing off right. It'll be the third one down of our trio. That's it. The flags.
E
In 1814, the British had Fort McHenry nearly surrounded. If the fort surrendered, it would be the end of the United States as we know it. A young lawyer watched a battle from nearby ship in the harbor. As the British attacked, he wrote a poem in his journal to remember what he saw that night. The British relentlessly bombed the fort all night and into the morning. Historians estimated 1800 shells fell into Fort McHenry that night, and no one had ever seen anything like it. The explosions were heard all the way in Philadelphia, over 100 miles away. The young lawyer furiously scribbled notes into his journal. He didn't want history to forget what he was witnessing. Everyone expected the Americans to surrender if any of them were still alive. No one anticipated what happened next. The vivid burst of light caused by the explosions allowed the young lawyer to see something so surprising, he assumed it had to be a mistake. The Americans had indeed taken down their flag, but they hadn't raised the white flag to formally surrender. Instead, that morning, they raised an even larger American flag called a garrison flag. It was 30ft tall and 42ft long. Raising this absolutely massive flag was the equivalent of giving a middle finger to the British Navy, as if to say,
A
is that all you've got?
E
They refused to surrender. The poem he wrote that night was eventually turned into a song. His name was Francis Scott Key and the song became known as the Star Spangled Banner.
A
Yeah, I love it, love it. It gets, it gets my red blooded American self going.
E
It does.
A
Here, here's the problem. To some degree, they, they're just, they're just stories and we, we forget that. It's, they're not some mythical story that happened. Those were real men with real wives and real children and real lives that put it all on the line. And they weren't part of the America we know they weren't. There were no F22s coming to save the day. There were a bunch of farmers that picked up arms against the greatest naval and military superpower in the world. And they're like, yeah, I know you'll probably beat her ass. But you, you're going to know you're in a fight. And I don't know, maybe we win, but we probably don't. And still stuck it to him. Getting bombarded all night long. And what do you do? You take down a smaller flag and you put up a bigger flag. You got to be kidding me.
C
You got to be better looking flag
A
and a better looking flag. I love that story. That is who we are. That's where we came from. That's why we are who we are today. That's why thank you to those gentlemen for being who they were. Or else it never happened. Think about it. If they gave up, you know who. Without America, you know who would have landed on the moon?
C
Nobody.
A
Nobody.
C
Nobody.
A
If it wasn't for them making that happen, you know who would have won World War II?
C
The Germans.
A
The Germans. I mean, it flips all of history upside down on its head, and it's just crazy. And I.
I
Well, you don't even get to World War II because World War I.
A
That's right. Because World War I. Yeah. Doesn't get one. Because even though I just watched a video on War one, and although we were a ragtag bunch in War one, we really weren't the superpower that we were. And which is pretty crazy. It was just a couple decades later. But in World War II, when we showed up, they're like, oh, the Americans are here. You're done. We didn't have that kind of wasta in our back pocket. Then when we showed up In World War I, they were like, just get in where you're fit in and try not to shoot us. And that's actually where we made a name for ourselves. They didn't think much of us. They just needed the manpower. They didn't think much of us. And by the end, they're like, those boys. Those boys can fight, and it's never been the same since. That's thanks to the World War I guys. Absolutely. I can't pretend like I didn't see the comment, Drew, that someone called your hat more of a cat in the hat look than Abraham Lincoln.
C
No way. Come on. What are you talking about? No way?
I
I mean, it is missing a few colors.
A
Drew's not happy about that.
C
Come on.
A
That's okay. All right, let's get right to some super chats and kick this thing off.
C
Super chats. Let's see. I think this is the top.
A
All right.
C
Captain Glory says. Hey, Brent, any chance we could get your fellow SMU operator Kevin Holland on the show? He served in both devgu and CAG and survived a PK round to the chest. The man is a legend. Happy 250th to Marika.
A
Yeah, he's. He's a legend in more ways than that. The things he's done after his military career is absolutely to be commended for the good things he's done for, for non profits and continuing to save people. But I have talked to him and he's just not interested and, and being public and, or ever being on, on the, on the wrong side of any issue with the unit. He always wants to be in good standing. So from here on out, he's, he's gonna, he's gonna err on the side of, of, of being quiet. And that's just another reason why he's an amazing man. So the chance of getting Kevin Holland on. Kevin Holland on are slim. But he's a great man.
I
Isn't he also a pastor?
A
I do not know if he's a pastor or not. That I don't know.
I
I saw one video of him doing his confession of faith. It was really awesome.
A
Yeah, that. I don't know. Some of the chats will tell you though.
C
Yeah, they will. Six's mom says congratulations to Sunny.
A
That's right.
C
Marbury Ohana. They had a beautiful baby girl. Maggie May Marbury, another tier one family member. Lucky us. Happy 4th of July to you all. Enjoy our blessings being amazing Americans. Aloha from Six's mom.
A
And just because he had a kid, I expect him in on the show, in, in the, in the chats tonight. There's just no excuses, right? Or am I the jerk Richard Head, what say you?
I
I guarantee he'll be in the chats.
G
Yeah.
A
Yeah, it's settled. He'll be in the chats.
I
Yeah. Baby's got congratulations.
C
You know that baby's sleeping. He ain't got nothing to do. You know that Baby sleeping ain't got nothing to do. Yeah, he's the father. He's got nothing to do. Animal mother. In the chats, he said, Drew looks like Slasher Ham Lincoln. And when I put this outfit on, that is. That is exactly who I thought about Slasher Ham Lincoln.
G
All right.
C
Right wing nut says y' all know George Washington died due to complications from strep throat. Doctor told me that when I had it years ago.
A
So it wasn't strep throat, but it was a throat infection that would have been easily cured. With penicillin that would have come out just a few years later. Do you want to know how long? Don't. And don't flame me. I'm not looking for exact dates. I'll be dang close, though. That guy spent his whole adult life fighting for a country or representing a country. The only thing he ever wanted to do was get back to Mount Vernon. He just wanted to get back to his family land, be a farmer, and have a normal life and not have the. The Continental army or the. The troubles of this country resting on his soul, on his shoulders by the time he finally left after his second term. You want to know how long he lived in Mount Vernon for before he died?
B
Not for long.
A
About a year.
C
Yeah.
B
Very short.
A
My man got like a year retirement for the Lord took him home. It's just. There's no justice in this world.
G
It's that.
A
That's one of the saddest things about it. That's crazy.
H
I love penicillin.
A
And, you know, and I said. I said fun fact. I said fun facts. That's a. That's a fact. That's not very fun. Yeah. I don't know when it is. I realized that, but I saw the dates of him leaving and the dates him dying. I'm like, hold on, hold on. That's not cool.
I
Or is that more to his. His testament of being a believer in Christ and God thought his purpose on earth was done.
A
Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, absolutely.
H
And he.
A
And he got that throat infection by. But he. He was riding around his property just on a. On a cold, rainy day, and that's what. That's what kind of started it. But anyway, what else we got?
C
The Prussian George Washington did not have wooden teeth due to his termite allergy. True story.
A
A termite allergy. How do you know if you're allergic to termites? Well. Well, I guess back then it's easier to know because I think there's some. I think termites were maybe more common.
C
Yeah.
I
There was no Terminix.
C
Yeah.
A
All right, all right. A termite allergy.
I
Yeah. He's learning that from wooden teeth.
A
Yeah.
C
It's rough.
A
His first set was. His second set was not.
G
So what nobody knows is he got chopped on that cherry tree because it had termites in it. And he was like, you can't have termites here. We're going to chop it down. It's a bad tree, that. It's a very bad trade. No termites.
A
That makes sense.
G
Yeah.
A
Thank legend. Thank you, Ronald Trump. Wait. Way to be value Added already early on. I like that.
B
I love it.
C
That family high IQ does it every time. Sonny Marbury is in the house.
A
He's in.
C
Congratulations, Papa Bear. Sup, fam? Might not be able to watch it all on account of this tiny baby we just had. Anyways, love y' all, guys. Happy 4th and happy birthday, America.
A
America. You remember how it's pronounced, right, Drew?
C
I did say it earlier for all those who know. All right. Just another Lem Bravo cigars for Sonny Marbury. Away from the new baby, of course. Congrats, Bretta.
A
No, that's. I mean, I'm not saying you just blow it in the baby's face. That's. That's ridiculous. But you need to get the baby kind of acquainted with. With cigars and manliness and associating that with his dad. With her dad. So that way you kind of build that. That good, traditional American value early on.
B
My mother's on her way. I think that she could give you the exact steps on how to do that. Babies don't inhale from the age of just born till five. And that's how you make a man.
I
Musk of freedom.
B
Freedom.
A
Yeah. What did we say earlier? Hey, everyone. Something about raising American men. Do you remember the. But no one. No one asked about how to.
B
Oh, I said, everybody talks about the founding fathers, but nobody talks about the founding mothers.
A
Oh, yeah, the fat but the founding mothers.
B
The mothers. That basically builds people.
C
Raised all those good men.
A
That's right. Raise all those good men. Yeah.
C
Couldn't do it without them.
A
You know what? It's actually probably a good time to put a pin in this and go to Instagram, because let me tell you, the type of man George Washington was. And this kills me when people who want. Who don't know all of history want to take snippets and say, you know, actually, our founding fathers weren't really that big into Christianity. Charlie Kirk replied to someone one time was like, you know, our. Our founding documents only mentioned God four times that you say they were all about God. And Charlie Kirk's like, only four times. How about they mention God four different times? I think that's. That's pretty important. But let's take that. Let's go to Instagram, see that second clip and see what George Washington's mom.
F
Those are his general orders to the military. And he's like, guys, what's more important than you being a patriot is you being a Christian.
C
Jeez, man.
F
And again, like, this is what's crazy. Nobody even disputes this. So this is the very first order Washington gives as commander of the military. This is his very first general order. The first ever. The very first one. Okay.
H
And.
F
And notice how it starts. If he's a deist, he's real bad at it.
C
Real bad at it.
F
Make sure you go to church, guys. But. But we can't afford to curse. We can't afford to get drunk. Anything that might offend God we can't afford to do because we have to have God's help or we're not going to succeed. Just read some of that general order for us. The commander in chief directs that divine service. So church services be performed every Sunday at 11 o' clock in those brigades to which there are chaplains, those which have none to attend the places of worship nearest to them. Hang on. So those who have none. If you don't have a chaplain, then you attend the closest place that has a chaplain. It is expected that officers of all ranks will by their attendance, set an example to their men.
C
Dude, this is amazing.
F
He said, if you're going to be officer in.
H
In the.
F
Well, I guess it wasn't the United States army at that time. It was Continental Army. Continental Army. He's going, you got to go to church. Yes, you got to go to church. Oh, it gets better. Okay. While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion.
C
This is amazing.
F
Okay. To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian. Fascinating. Okay. What is more important to George Washington than being a patriot? A Christian. Being a Christian.
A
Dude, that's incredible.
F
Those are his general orders given to them.
C
Can't be a good patriot without being a good Christian.
A
That is correct.
E
It's just.
C
Just the facts
A
that was never taught in school. Don't you think that was a pretty big part of George Washington's life? Clearly it was to him. It was the man's very first order. So it seems like that was a pretty big part of his life. We don't talk about it. We hide it. I think there's a. I think there's a. Not a conspiracy theorist guy. I've always said that. But some things I'm like, well, I. There's no other reason why to tamp that down and not talk about it and hide it. It's pretty crazy.
C
Well, he said that in the beginning and in the end in his farewell address. One of the things out of several that he encouraged the nation to make sure they do. And don't forget is that they have to be. It's indisputable. You must have more morality and virtue in order for our Constitution to work. Can't have it. And when a man like that says moral and virtue, there's only one kind. It's Christianity.
A
All right, well, there you go. It's settled. Let's go back to super chats, Drew.
C
All right. Flowback says God bless America.
A
That is a fact.
C
God bless.
A
And he has.
C
And every time we say that, that's a prayer. God bless America. That's a prayer.
A
I believe it's both a statement and a prayer wrapped in one Johnson.
C
Just another 11.
G
Bravo.
C
George Washington could beat Chuck Norris in an arm. Wrestle with Chuck's own arm.
A
Know as much as I do love the Chuck Norris jokes, they do need to be rebranded as George Washington jokes.
G
Yes.
C
At least what I'm calling.
A
What I'm call. Yeah. At least every fourth of July. That's what I'm calling for.
B
Chuck ain't gonna stop you now.
C
All right, Chad.
A
Rex.
C
I'm a real American for closeout song Thursday night. And freedom is for the boys. So 20 bucks for I am a real American.
A
Yes.
C
Teddy Roosevelt says is tall Revere back. Heck yeah. Also, can we get a Magnet episode and find out some of his lore?
A
You know, I. I feel like that's part of his lore by. By kind of keeping him in the shadows and secret, like. But I don't know. Magnet, what say you?
G
I was born in the darkness.
A
Oh, gosh. And that's why.
B
Take the mic away.
A
That's right. Take the microwave.
C
He does a great bane
A
stand one character at a time. You're confusing the audience and yourself. All right, what else you got?
C
The Prussian back ends as Abraham Lincoln died of lead poisoning also. Hi, Devin.
B
Hey.
A
Oh, my gosh.
C
Gtsy.
A
Yeah, yeah. See what you did there?
C
David Hookstead in the house. Every fourth of July, I think of my grandfather. Born into the kind of extreme poverty that doesn't exist anymore, never attended high school and died taking care of entire generations. That only happens in America. God bless.
A
That is true. He said a point that's actually really true. Something else. We forget the type of mass poverty that America has. We don't really have that type of that. That widespread poverty. And what they're always going to say is, oh, there's still poverty.
B
Not like that.
A
Not like that. You're right. Not even close. So we're doing something better. And I just think they hold us to a ourselves an unfair Standard of. If you're not perfect. Let me just. I don't care what's going good with this, with this country. I only care what's wrong with it. And that's the only thing I'm going to focus on. Now, don't get me wrong. There's. You should never be satisfied. You should always be looking to be better. But to not acknowledge any of the greatness and the American excellence that is happening and has been happening for generations and to only talk about how bad we are.
B
We are so blessed.
A
You're so blessed.
B
So blessed.
A
I don't know. I, We. We have to punish them somehow. I know that sounds bad, but I'm thinking about some, some, an appropriate amount of punishment for people who, who don't like this country. So if you don't like this country, then you don't get to enjoy everything within this country. So hear me out. You don't love America. And I can find that in your social media. In fact, you hate America. No TSA PreCheck for you. If you have TSA PreCheck, pull that out. Just little something. I mean, I'm not throwing you in jail over it. I mean, that's, That's a little. That's a little.
D
That's.
A
That's much. You have freedom of speech.
B
I got one.
A
What do you got?
B
No Fourth of July.
A
No Fourth.
B
Because if you're going to complain all year about the freedom that we don't have, you don't get to celebrate it.
A
That's.
B
I'm sorry, no Fourth of July for you.
A
Go to work. Hold on. Absolutely. Put it on the document. That better be in the minutes that are. Better be in the minutes after this.
H
No Memorial Day.
A
That's right. No more Fourth of July for you. You don't get to enjoy fireworks of a country you hate, of a country you're not proud of and then take the day off and enjoy the fourth.
B
The freedom that.
H
You don't get it.
C
You don't get mandatory Memorial Day.
H
You don't get United States holidays. You don't get. If you don't like it, go.
A
I would like, I would like to hear from the chats. What other. We'll call them soft punishments can we take away from people who don't love this country. I like where we're going so far. No TSA Precheck their passport.
I
No.
B
Their passport revoked.
H
No.
A
You know, keep their passport. Let them go somewhere else and then revoke it once. Once they're out.
B
Okay, I like that.
A
Then pull the rug from Underneath.
B
There it is.
A
And be like, oh, well, you. I thought you loved it so much.
B
Look at this synergy.
A
Oh, yeah, yeah.
G
Just give me your old ideas. I know a guy. I'll take them to him. Well, I happen to know him really well. We'll. I'll take it to him. He'll sign a little document, we'll get them all codified, and we'll send them over to another. Another country.
A
Okay, you know what's crazy? I think if that ever got in front of him, he might cite it. He just might sign it. All right, what else? What else we got?
I
I'd like to know who they're comparing us to to say we have poverty because we've been to some countries.
A
Yeah.
I
I can bona fide tell you, right. The poorest place in the US Is better than the best place.
A
That's the problem. They haven't been anywhere else. And they love all the places they've never been. They hate the places that they live that they love. But not enough to leave it. Let's. I mean, mind you, not enough to leave it. Just.
B
We call that go on and.
A
Go on and get.
C
Don't get.
G
Speaking of this, have you seen other people. The World cup have come here. They're like, we love America. We want to stay.
A
Yeah.
G
It's the greatest place ever. The media sucks, lying to us. America's great. Look at the portions. They're wonderful. I mean, just. America's great.
A
You know what? That's. That is true. Do you know how much that's hurting the left's heart right now? To have all the countries that they've been telling you is better than ours, to have all their citizens come here and be like, this is the best place in the world. That's going to take the wind out of your complaining sails, isn't it?
B
Yeah. And they've been saying, well, the media is lying to us because these people are awesome. We're partying with Scots. We're partying with everybody. It's like the great international. Everybody's following it. And I know that there's some videos going up now where people are posting just the dreary, yucky England weather. And they're like, man, I miss the usa. And all the comments are like, y' all come back for Thanksgiving now.
A
Yeah, come on back. We'll have you back. Come on back for Thanksgiving.
I
You mean you don't like bourbon and guns and, like, I don't know, freedom and not getting stabbed on the way to the gas station?
A
Yeah.
I
Wild concepts.
C
Rick. I think a lot of people like that because that's why so many people are trying to come to this country and not other countries. And the only people that want to leave this country are Hollywood actors and actresses that live in an imaginary world for a living.
A
Yeah, that's true.
C
So puts it in perspective.
A
What else we got?
C
All right. Daniel Hayawasi says New York City used to be New Amsterdam.
F
Love.
A
Pretty crazy New Amsterdam. Glad would not. Doesn't have the same ring to it. Doesn't have this. That was a good change. That was a good change.
C
Ezekiel Darte says almost messed that up. God bless America. God bless our troops. And God bless the Tier one podcast.
B
No, you gotta say it. You gotta say it. Like the money for nothing intro.
A
Right, gentlemen.
B
Oh, like, that's the.
A
Yeah.
J
He.
A
Who's that from? King of Queens, Kevin James.
B
Yeah, there you go.
A

J
Go ahead.
C
Well, I don't want to hurt anybody.

You might go grab a rip a dart.
B

C
Teddy Roosevelt, a German general said he knew the war was lost when they found a birthday cake for a private. When they overran a position. Germans couldn't even get enough bullets. And us privates got birthday cakes.
A
Yeah, that says something. All right, we're stopped there for a second and get some entertainment in this entertainment may be more for me but this segment is going to called do you know america?
B
God, I hope so.
A
Here are the rules. There will be several rounds. You're in. It's a double loss elimination. So each person is going to get a question. If you get a question wrong, you're still in. You get two questions wrong, you're out. And we'll keep going until we know who knows America the most. Here we will go clockwise. Ronald Trump, are you ready?
G
Ready as I'll ever be.
A
One second.
G
Oh, well played. Is this going to be multiple choice or are we going to have like a write in paragraph that we have to do?
A
Just answer the question.
G
Got to make everything complicated, you know.
A
One second. Had this set up. I think someone came in and messed with my computer while it was closed and at my feet. Possibly, probably not, but it might have been me.
B
I'm blaming magnet.
A
All right, here we go. Ronald Trump, this one is for you. How old must someone be to become president of the United States?
G
I believe it is 40.
A
That is a strike. Strike. 35 is the answer. 35 is the answer. All right. Benjamin. Buttons Franklin, I can't take you.
E
Sid.
A
Benjamin buttons Franklin, are you ready?
H
No.
A
All right. What is the smallest u. S. State?
H
Delaware.
A
That is incorrect. That is incorrect. It's okay. I thought we knew America better this, but that's all right. Okay. It's all right. Which. Which state was the last admitted to the union? Richard Head, you were on the clock
I
to the union?
A
To the country.
I
Oh, oh, okay.
A
It'd be the way they framed it. But to the country.
I
Are we talking revolutionary war or in general the 50 states.
A
What's the last. What's the last state we. We took under our wings?
I
Hawaii.
A
Hawaii is correct. He just didn't like the way it was phrased. A little ambiguous, but he knew the answer. Vermont was the fourth, which is where I'm from.
I
I was going that way.
G
Fun fact.
H
All right.
C
Fun fact.
A
Drew.
G
Yes.
A
Which great lake is the largest by surface area?
C
Good lord. What do I. I don't know. Nothing about anything north of the Mason Dixon. All right, let's say Blake, Michigan.
A
Just gonna take the. L. Just do that. You. Oh, well, good. Good job with at least guessing you knew a great lake.
C
There you go.
A
I'd like to give you a half a point, but I cannot. It's just ones and zeros here. It's Lake Superior.
C
Oh, there you go. Superior.
A
Superior.
C
It's in the name.
A
Everyone. All right. I'm just going down the line. Next question. How many stars are on the United States flag? Doll Revere. She knows America. She's got one. Here we go. You two are up on. This is an elimination round for. For two of you. Are you ready?
C
Three of us.
A
Are you ready? I need his full name. Who assassinated Abraham Lincoln?
G
John Wilkes Booth.
A
Boom.
G
I'm sorry. I did it wrong.
C
He said it with an accent.
A
Where's Ronald Trump? Go.
H
All right.
A
Oh, I'm sorry. Like I said, I. I just read them as I get them. I just read them as I get them. What was America's first national park? I know. I. Okay, I'll open it up to anyone.
C
That's a tough one.
A
Does anyone want to know what it is?
I
I've got a guess.
A
Yeah.
I
The first national park. Wasn't that Arlington?
A
No. I don't believe it's somewhere in Virginia, though. It is not. It is not. Beth, do you have a guess?
B
No. Oh, I was wondering why you broke character.
A
It is Yellowstone. It is Yellowstone.
B
I should have put two into it.
A
That's okay. It was a subtle.
C
It's pretty far west.
H
All right.
E
First.
C
You know.
A
I know. Well, hey, I don't. I don't. I don't make the rules. This one is for Richard Head. Which state was the first to secede from the Union? Tough one. These aren't easy ones. When I'm not. Otherwise, we'd be here all night.
I
Like Virginia.
A
Close. South Carolina. South Carolina. And you know what? I don't think they get enough crap given to them to be the first one to leave this great nation. Give them hell. I know you have a gavel. South Carolina is on my crap list for.
C
For a penalty, they will have to have the mascot. A Gamecock.
A
Drew?
C
Yes, sir.
A
You should know this because I did an episode on this, and I'm sure you watch all of our episodes whether you're part of it or not, so I'm confident. Who surrendered at the siege of Yorktown?
C
Who surrendered at the siege of Yorktown?
A
Yes.
C
I don't know. We'll just say it was generally
A
Charles Cornwallis. Yorktown was a. Was essentially the last revolutionary war battle. Really broke their spirit. And after that, you're like. You're like, no, this. We cannot win. We cannot win. All right, Drew is out. Is that correct?
C
I hope so.
A
All right, Drew is out. We have magnets.
C
Last time I needed half these.
I
We have three remaining.
C
Was high school.
A
We have three remaining. Okay, doll, Revere, another flag question. How many colors are in the u. S. Flag?
B
Oh, I think it's three.
A
Three is correct. She is still in.
C
This is starting to feel like a ghostbuster.
G
So the next question is going to be who? Two plus two. And she's like, is it four? And you're like, yeah, that's a correct. Yeah, that's the correct answer.
C
I'm glad there's no electric shock here.
A
All right, Ronald Trump, which president never lived in the White House?
G
I'd like to say Joe Biden because he lived in the basement, but that's not going to be my answer. So we're moving along.
A
I want to give that to you so bad. Of all, George Washington was the only president didn't exist ever live in the White House.
G
Excuse me, but I think I need to. I think I need to say that my guess was really good because we think he was in the basement for four years and his advisors came up and lived in the White House because he wasn't there. You know, he wasn't. So it might be too president.
A
Okay, it might be. It might be Richard Head who purchased the Louisiana territory from France.
I
The United States. But it was. I'm assuming you're asking, what president?
A
What President Monroe. It was Thomas Jefferson. That is unfortunate.
I
It was 1908.
A
It was not 1908 because. Because Thomas Jefferson did it. And minus another point for arguing with Tuckerton. How dare you? All right, we're out. All right.
C
Arguing is very American.
A
All right, this is important because this is still part of the round. If you get it wrong, we have to continue to the next round. Do find a winner. All right, George Washington was the only one not to live in this house. But still, since then, every president has lived in this structure located in Washington D.C. currently. What is the name of this structure?
B
Oh, that would be the White House.
A
The White House.
B
Wow.
A
She knows America.
C
You do a great
A
America. The rest of you should be ashamed of yourself. Although, Ronald Trump, I feel like you still should have been in it, but these are the rules. Back to super chats. We may have another round two after the break, but let's see.
I
We'll.
A
We'll see.
C
Oh, Lord, I hope not. All right. Drunk Christian says Happy Birthday USA on the 4th. Christ is King Jay Wood. God bless you and God bless America. Wiley Coyote with the big love tonight, man. Thank you so much on this fourth of July America.
H
If.
C
Yeah, call Kevin Holland. He's been on Jack Carr and Daniel Winkler Winkler knives and was pretty open.
A
He was, he was then. But he is, he has, he has since said he's not going to do any more. But you are right, he has been on some before.
C
Hashtag.
A
Which is, which is why I actually want to reach out and ask him because I thought it was a. It was a possibility since he had been on some before but. But it is not. And I'd like to address Josh George in the comments that said that game was super rigged and now you're questioning my integrity and I don't appreciate that. Don't kick him out. He can stay.
B
You don't know my IQ level that was on a curve.
A
But I, you know, I'm. I see you.
C
There's a funny question in the text. Says T bone says next question for Dolly is what color is the White House?
B
Oh, man, they throw me a curveball here.
C
Oh man, you guys are hilarious. All right, to finish Wiley's chat, hashtag Bad ours, Patriot, Happy FOJ and ccr
A
Fortunate son for the outro Fortunate son all day long.
C
Love ccr. Love it.
A
Maybe I can get. Maybe you can find that one. Credence upset about that on the remix of it.
G
All right.
C
Diamond Poseidon says, what's the best American made weight vest that you can conceal, carry with or can have a pouch attached to it?
A
American made weight vest that you can conceal. I, I don't think it's plate carrier. I do think he might mean to put plate here.
I
Yeah, it's got to be plate care.
A
Yeah, I mean cry.
I
I mean, yeah, jpc. Cry.
A
Cry is but a carrier that you can. But if you have a carrier, why would you need a concealed carry? Because the carrier is. Is on the outside. So I'm a little bit confused. He actually might mean weight vest, but I don't, I don't know. And I wish I could help you out on that one.
C
Safari land in Jacksonville, Florida.
G
They're good dudes.
A
They are good.
C
Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt was not only the president of the U.S. but he was also the NYPD police commissioner.
A
Did you guys know that? Did anyone know that it was also
I
the head of the Rough Riders?
A
That is correct. That's. But. And I, I did not know that that's awesome.
C
And is he the one that did Yellowstone national park as the first national park?
A
He probably did. I think he might have been, yeah.
C
Rhett Wing nut says General Blackjack Pershing taught us that smoking Muslims was a trend we needed to continue forever. He also founded Pershing Rifles.
A
All right. Heck yeah. He was a wise man. He was a wise man before his time.
C
He went wrong.
A
He wasn't wrong.
C
Drunk. It got me.
A
You're good drunk.
C
Christian solution. All the people who are here for the World cup and loving the usa, we just swap all of them with those who hate it here. I love it.
A
Not a bad idea.
I
Freebies and their players from their corresponding nations that we pick.
A
That is not a bad idea. A one for one swap. A draft if you will and like. Okay, who all wants to stay? Let me see your credentials. Oh, you're, you're. You're a doctor in the uk. You're. You're. You're a first rounder.
B

B
That put them there.
A
Yeah.
B
And watch the electoral college run, baby. That's gonna be awesome. Yes.
A
That, that, that is. That, that's a. That's a great. That's a great point.
B
Those are the cities we need.
A
That's the cities we need them in New York City desperately.
B
Come on.
A
Desperately.
G
So I'm going to take this to Donald this week. I'm going to institute our request. Excuse me. Request? The institutes. A one for one trade. So we're going to trade for every person that hates America from la. We're going to start swap them for those doctors in the uk. You can go live there. You send those non fine American haters over to the uk, let them live there in that cesspool and you send all your best over here to our country. One for one swap. Like an NHL draft that just happened.
B
Okay.
A
Tier one approved. Send it up. Send it up.
C
So let it be done. Joe Saunders. Yippee K. Says the thing I don't understand and I'm looking at Minneapolis is but why come here and reboot the very replace.
A
I'll never get it.
C
You escaped from just saying I'll never.
A
I'll never understand it. It's a solid question.
H
Look at Dearborn, Michigan.
A
That's right. It escapes logic. It escapes logic.
C
Chris. Listening to the greatest podcast in the world in my patrol vehicle in the greatest country in the world.
A
That's awesome. He ain't wrong on both accounts.

G
Hear, hear. Priceline negotiator.
A
It's me, the Priceline negotiator.
C
We don't need the jingle twice.

F
Stop it.
A
This is about vacation inflation and how
F
Priceline negotiates amazing deals on hotels, flights, and rental cars.
A
Seems like we decided.
F
Yeah, but I didn't mention that you can save up to 60% off hotels in the Priceline app.
A
Time to read the timeline.
C
Fine.
F
No one deals more deals than.

The math demands it.
D
Get the Venmo debit card.

Sec8. 11B says beer fun for the boys from a 14S that reclassed to 11B.
A
I love it.
C
Thank you for the love, man. Really appreciate that.
A
As a fellow 14 Sierra who also reclassed. I love it. We got that in common. Good luck, Drew.
C
Goshib way. Ojibwe.
H
What is?
I
Oh, Aboriginal.
A
No, not.
C
How do you say it? No, I said Ojibwe. The Ojibwe name for Lake Superior is. Come on. Prussian. The Gitchigami, meaning great sea.
B
Okay, Drew, get educated.
A
Get educated.
I
Supposed to be Og way, like the. Like the old school way.
A
No, it's spelled O, J, I B, W E, and I believe auto correct. Ojibwe, maybe. Ojibwe, I know.
E
There you go.
G
So it said in the native African Ojibwe. That's how you say it.
C
So Ojibwe. I guess I need to get. I get. The education I need is to become a savage. Uneducated savage, and speak a language that right.
A
Isn't even right.
G
Yeah, yeah.
H
Okay.
B
You can barely speak ours.
C
Thank you, Indians. Feather, not dot. I learned that from Devin. All right. The real Justin G87 says Jizro, the Super Seals favorite. Fourth activity is hot dog eating contest. Because Jizz Row watching Wieners go down hole.
A
Allegedly. Allegedly. I just saved you from a lawsuit. Allegedly.
H
I win.
C
Let's see.
G
This isn't the Navy. Just saying
C
Joe's got you says, hey Brent, not sure if you're a big movie guy, but do you think you'll go see the new young Washington movie? Looks pretty awesome.
B
I think thousand percent.
A
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm just hesitant that, that they. Excuse me.
H
Same thing I say.
A
I'm just hesitant that they do anything right. So I'm gonna wait for a couple people that I trust to go and say, how was it before? Before I put no.
B
Strong disagree.
A
Strong disagree.
B
You're gonna watch that thing and pick it to shred.
H
I'm. The only thing I'm about worried about is like they showed us all the like the best parts of the whole movie.
A
Yeah. And then he there and it's like drawing possibility. That's always a possibility. I want, I go ahead.
I
But the Angel Network has been crushing
A
it and they're behind it. That's true. Absolutely right. I mean, I forgot about that.
I
Everything about them is amazing. I mean I. That's the only reason why I think it's going to be great.
A
I.
G
Except for that commie animal movie they just put out. Pure communism. It was ridiculous. I'm not kidding.
A
Which animal movie?
G
They just put out some stupid movie. It was all these animals. They. It was anti capitalist, which is ridiculous. We all know that. It was pro communism. I kid you not, all the people that were behind it are communists.
A
Do you remember the name of the movie?
G
I don't remember. It was stupid. I don't put it out of my head right away.
C
Bright jackass.
A
Drew?
C
Yes, sir.
A
I don't think you would have gone and seen this movie, but I heard a dirty, dirty rumor that you went to go see Supergirl.
C
I did go see Supergirl. I took my 19 year old daughter to go see Supergirl. Sure did. It was a good movie.
A
It was a good movie.
C
You said it was. It was a good movie. Well done. Well done. I was surprised, but then again I wasn't expecting much going in. So my, my expectations was low. So I might be ruining it for everybody by telling you, hey, it was good movie.
H
I saw it.
A
You saw it? Oh, hold on. For legal reasons, I won't tell people how you saw it, but I'm not as upset about that because I know you didn't lose any money over it. What else we got? Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.
H
Allegedly.
C
Ah, let's see. Flucky 7 says howdy. Howdy. Let's get rowdy for the 250. Also glad to see Madre Devon back on the show. Show thankful for all you guys do. Much love and God bless PS Devin, Sig or Glock.
B
Oh, Glock all day. Get out of here. Ain't no way I'd be sitting this close to him if I were a sick person.
A
Maybe next they'll ask you a sit or stand to pee. I don't know. Those are the standard question lines for any guest. Equal opportunity at the T. That's right. Don't treat anyone different.
B
Guys, my answer to that.
A
Wait for the question.
C
T Chambers 6 11. June 11, 1775. Jeremiah O' Brien on his fishing boat out of Machias, Maine, launched the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War.
A
Wow.
C
20 Mainers boarded with pitchforks and engaged in hand to hand combat. No way Brits lost. Sucks to be them.
A
Oh, man, that is a cool story I want to know more about.
C
That's America.
A
We're not going to make a movie about that?
B
No. Next year, fourth of July reenactment. Hear me out. Okay, we could do that.
A
We could do that.
I
I've got a guy in Maine. We could do that.
A
That is awesome. Again. What? What awesome men? What awesome men?
I
Guarantee they didn't lose a single dude. Just straight savage or.
A
Or a wink of sleep.
G
Sounds like the precursors to the United States Marine Corps just saying.
A
Yeah, absolutely.
G
I might be so a little bit biased towards that one.
A
Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. What else we got?
C
Josh Hendricks says, what was the first battle won in the Revolutionary War? 1. Lexington and Concord. 2. Battle of Bunker Hill 3. Capture of Fort Tikondoroga. All must guess before you look up. Answer if you don't know. Happy 4th. Glad to be American.
I
Ticonderoga.
B
That's where pencils are made.
C
So who was.
A
Okay, well, all right, give me a second.
C
He knows how to say it, so he's probably freaking right.
H
Man,
A
I hate this. I do not believe it was Ticonderoga. First battle won the revolutionary Lexington and Concord.
F
I'm gonna.
A
Screw that. I'm gonna tell you how much I know and then screw it up by showing how I'm gonna fumble this at the one yard line. So Lexington and Concord were both essentially was what kicked off this war. But I have to make a guess. So some, some. I believe it was Lexington, which was the first. And then we lost like seven people in the militia scattered and then they. But because they stood their ground. And this has to do with Paul Revere, by the way. Paul Revere is what. Is what kicked off that initial. So they were the first ones to stand in front of the British. Kind of got their butt kicks and lost heart. And so the British, they go right over to Concord. And by that time, the militia had gathered and they stood their ground. Now, only two British soldiers got killed in that one, and the British actually retreated. But unfortunate for the British, that was only the beginning of their pain because as they were walking back to New York, America decided to shoot at them from every barn and every wall and behind every tree. And they took massive casualties going out.
E
Nice.
A
So I believe Concord was the first battle 1.
I
Concord was in New Hampshire.
A
That's what I'm going with. That's what I'm going with.
I
Because I thought. Because I thought Ticonderoga was. When they came, it was upstate New York. And it was like a whole weird. The only reason I know this, I'm from. I grew up.
A
And you might be right. That was my thought.
I
It went Ticonderoga, Lexington or Ticonderoga. Conquer Lexington, then conquer Concord. Because I know they retreated to Concord.
A
I just don't know enough about Ticonderoga. But I know more about the other. That's. That's why I went with it. That's why I went with it. Let's see.
C
Well, this is saying. Google is saying Ticonderoga, all right.
A
And it may be prior to this,
C
the armed skirmishes at the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 1977, five
A
successfully forced British troops, which would be crazy, but so. But if that was the prior to this, the ones that kicked off the whole Revolutionary War, how could any victory be before that? Because those are the ones that kicked off the Revolutionary War. Drew, go to Instagram real quick.
C
I guess it depends on how you define when the war started. So there were skirmishes and then the war was actually on.
I
I thought Ticonderoga was like this. Like, officially the Revolutionary War started.
A
And it may be.
C
All depends on how you define things. What's up, bud? What you want to do?
A
Go to Instagram.
C
Called the Instagram pink. Okay.
A
And shot heard.
J
Around the world, British soldiers could feel the heat from the colonists. They left Boston to seize colonial weapons in the town of Lexington. Paul Revere wasn't going to let that happen. He went for from town to town, warning the colonists that the British were coming for their weapons. Church bells rang through the darkness. Militiamen grabbed their muskets and left their homes. By dawn on April 19, 1775, about 70 of them stood in Lexington to confront the British soldiers. These were not professional soldiers. They were farmers, blacksmiths and shopkeepers who had trained together in case they ever needed to fight back. Hundreds of British troops met them in Lexington. In the heat of the confrontation, a gun went off. Nobody knows who fired first, but this was the shot heard round the world,
A
and it changed everything.
J
British soldiers fired into the militia. Eight colonists were killed. The survivors scattered. Lexington was not a battle. It was the first blood. The soldiers marched on to Concord. But Paul Revere's warning had worked. The militiamen from nearby towns were moving in. At Concord, the colonists advanced. This time they didn't scatter. They fought back, killing two British soldiers. The British retreated to Boston, but now
F
the whole side was awake.
J
Militiamen fired from behind trees, stone walls, barns and houses. Every road became dangerous. Every bend could hide another shooter. By the time the British reached Boston, they had taken heavy losses and the Revolution had begun. Years later, when Americans wrote the rules for their new country, they remembered this fear that a government could send soldiers to disarm its own people. That memory helped shape the Second Amendment. But first, the colonies would need to fight for their freedom. To survive, they needed an army. For that, they needed George Washington.
A
All right, doesn't help with the Ticonderoga, but it does help solidify between those two.
G
They were like, those bloody Americans are shooting at us again. And then they shot him from behind trees. Like, we don't know how to handle this. So the Americans did the smart thing and the British would just show that they were just straight up trash soldiers. Isn't that right?
C
Quite right.
A
Quite right. Well done doing that. I don't know what to do with that. Did we get an answer on Taekondaroga?
I
So, I mean, from the Google, I mean, the two that you're saying happened before, but they weren't considered battles. So if you're looking at a battle, one, it would be Ticonderoga.
A
All right, all right. So I would say the first battle won, as was. What's the definition of a battle?
I
I mean, I wouldn't consider two people a battle.
C
I think war has to be clear.
A
It wasn't two people. Just two people died initially. This fallout from that, I don't know, but. But if. If a hundred people on both sides are shooting at each other, is that a battle? So basically what he's saying is only the end result makes it a battle. But the beginning of a thousand versus a thousand trying to kill each other is not a battle. I don't buy that.
C
I think the first two Events. I think the first two events are violent occasions. All right, that occasion, or events, whatever you want to call them, skirmishes. The skirmishes, what Google called them, that led to the declaration of war, which gives you battles.
I
And then Ticonderoga old. The Colonials messed them up bad.
A
All right, then give me a second. So now it's a trick question, but. Because he said which battle and then named two things that aren't battles.
G
Yeah.
A
So that's kind of messed up. You know what I mean? Trick question.
C
That's how they got me in high school, too.
H
Those were sparring. Those are sparring events. All right.
A
All right. Now that we got that behind us, I got emotional. I got emotional.
H
I also check your phone about John Monroe, too, because something was delivered to you.
A
Okay.
B
Oh, boy.
A
All right.
C
All right. I love arguing about history. We don't know. All right. Darren the bow. All right, B. He says, happy Independence Day. Fill the fridge. Back up, boys. Best looking co host ever. Hi, Devin. You pick the Outro song.
B
You don't want that, Mr. Bell. I'll do it, though.
A
Oh, Bose toes, Please be Charlie Daniels.
G
Please,
I
the devil
A
do not sway this. This is for her.
B
The Devin went down to Georgia.
A
No, you don't have to answer right now. You don't have to answer right now.
B
I'm gonna keep that in my back pocket.
C
Please be America's gonna do it again. All right, that's for 500 for whatever. Thank you, Bo, for the song, the Charlie Daniel song. That Devin.
A
And, you know, it's crazy, and he did that with a nice guy when he clearly could have reminded everyone about the 50 for the fallen event that we're all going to. September 11th, New York City this year. Go Google it. Look up 50 for the fallen. Find out more. And go support them and what they do, because we are. And if you trust us, then just trust them. It's that easy. Yeah.
H
We're celebrating two things. 50 for the fallen and my birthday.
A
Your birthday's on September 11th?
H
10th.
A
Well, see how that's confusing?
H
No, I said two of us.
C
Pretty close. I believe, if I my memory serves me right, the website, I think, is 50ftf.org.
A
There you go.
C
50ftf.org okay. Go visit it. He's on 5 0ftf.
A
Oh, can't wait.
C
All right, let's see the real Justin says July 4, 1776, Tommy J. Sent a letter to the King saying F round. Find out.
G
Nice.
C
Tommy James. I do like that.
A
Yeah, I'd like him to be referred to as Tommy J. For now on. If he was. Yeah, yeah, that's. That's his. That's his street name. Tommy J.
B
Sure.
C
Six's mom. Only John Hancock and Charles Thompson signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The others signed it on August 2, 1776. Who drafted it? Makes sense. Tommy J. Tommy James, the second draft.
H
Franklin was a drafter of the Declaration also.
F
He.
A
Although he gets credit for it. I don't know. I don't know. And I don't think it was a sole endeavor under. But I do believe he had the most influence on. And that's why he gets. He gets the. The moniker.
H
Yeah. He was a drafter and a signer.
I
Plus he printed it. Plus he printed the copies.
A
Well, if you print. Wouldn't get printed without him. It wasn't gonna print without him. He's like, you know what? Can you print it? No, I can print it. This is mine.
I
No take backsies, take back seats.
C
Bacon Forged says the Star Spangled Banner wasn't the official national anthem until 1931, even though it was written in 18.
A
That's crazy. That's crazy. I did not know it took that long for it. For it to do that.
C
And I do believe. I think it's America the Beautiful. I think it is. Was also in the running for the anthem we chose.
A
Right. And although that's a great song, that's a great song we chose correctly. Now I get it. It will. At the end of the day. And that.
F
Wow.
A
At the end of the day, it will be impossible. As much as I like to say, hey, I tried to look at this when I'm about to say it as unbiased and it's just. It's just not true. But I've seen a bunch of flags, I've heard a bunch of anthems.
H
I have.
A
We have the most beautiful, majestic flag in the world. I look at that flag at the Olympics hanging up there anywhere, waving on the wind at a. At a used car lot. I look at Old Glory waving in the wind and I'm like, that's a beautiful flag. It is. It just. It's the. It's. It's perfect. It's perfect. And that being said, I get to hear other national anthems when unfortunately a lesser deserving country wins gold and I have to hear their crappy national anthem. And I listen to it, hoping to hear something good. And every time I go, that's trash compared to ours.
B
Yep.
A
I don't know if I've heard another national anthem. I was like, you know, that ain't bad. That ain't bad.
B
I've also never heard anybody else singing their national anthem and, like, get excited about it.
A
Like, the emphasis that we put on
B
our stuff and, like, really hyped up about it.
A
Yeah.
B
End with the USA chant. Look at any other country. Nobody's doing that.
A
I mean, there's a. There's a couple other, like, Russians in the stands that'll. That'll sing it at a, like, stoicism. But they're not excited about it.
B
They're forced. You know, I do it because I
C
want to, because Mother Russia's watching us.
A
Yeah.
H
I only like listening to the national anthem, not the second anthem that they play in the United States.
A
Just saying we're talking about the black anthem. That's.
C
Oh, yeah. Now at football games.
A
Happy July 4th. And you're gonna bring stuff like that up?
C
Well, I was told the first hour is supposed to be stuff we don't like. Second hour supposed to be stuff we do.
A
Like, that was okay. That was an initial thought during planning. That was an original draft. I said, you know what? I don't want to talk about anything that I don't like about America generally. You know, I mean, things will come up. We'll go back and forth.
G
We're having such a good time. And now you're being a Debbie Downer. Don't do that again. No Debbie Downer. So I'm going to call Don, send you to Mexico.
A
He'll throw you right over the wall.
C
We're going to keep America.
A
It's a beautiful wall, but I can still throw you over it.
H
They'll send me right back.
A
They will. They will. All right, what else do we have?
I
But can you imagine, like, oh, I just won a gold medal, and then out comes a big, red freaking maple leaf and bom. It sounds like.
E
Yeah.
I
Like, you're Boston.
G
Okay,
A
I know that was really offensive to Canadians, and I did not mean that. That was. That was a joke.
H
But
A
don't encourage me. Don't encourage me. We're a professional podcast.
C
It's just a joke.
G
It's like, oh, Canada. Stop it.
A
It's okay. Canada will always have a soft spot in my heart because they gave us Nickelback. So I can't.
H
I can't.
A
I can't stay mad at them. Don't. This isn't up for debate. I gotta find another super chat. One of our listeners sent me a. Sent me some data on the Nickelback creed debacle. I remember that last. And I gotta find who sent it to.
I
Did you see the stand national anthem blooper where they played the song from Borat at this lady's gold medal event?
A
Yeah, that'll. That'll happen.
B
That'll happen.
C
Well, if the Canadians get offended, they can just get in their Zeb 28s and drive away.
A
Zed 28.
B
I feel like if our park rangers had an anthem, it would be the Canadian.
A
It would be. It would be the Kazak.
G
National anthem is the greatest anthem ever. It's very good. I'm. It's great.
A
That was totally Russian. Oh, gosh.
C
Yeah, that was like. That was like if Donald Trump does impression sounded just like that.
D
Now.
H
Now I want my nickel back.
A

A
I'm sorry, just one second.
C
No,
A
I'm just.
C
I thought you said we're on schedule.
A
We are. I actually just wanted to write a. A birthday card to America.
C
Oh, that's thoughtful.
A
You want to know what I got so far?
C
I do. And America wants to know.
A
Good. You got it. America. We all remember when you were just a baby. Even then, we knew you were special. You got into a little scrum with your older brother. He wore red, you wore blue. But to everyone's surprise, you beat the brakes off of him. Glad to see you two are friends again. But even though you came out the gate strong, it wasn't easy for you. There was a lot of internal struggles. The Civil war was hard on the whole family. But again, you persevered. And after that, as united front, you were unstoppable. When the world was in trouble for the first time, it was you that turned the tide. When the world was in trouble again, you showed up and reminded the world that America will storm your beaches under withering and relentless gunfire and never stop moving forward. That America isn't just brawn. Our brains will show the world that we can solve any problem. We came with the A bomb before anyone else. And also that America has the guts to use it. Twice. I was afraid after saving the world twice, you would take a break. But that's not you. You went to the moon multiple times. We were so proud of you. No one else has ever done that since. Even once. You stopped the spread of communism, you made the world a better place with your inventions. From airplanes to the Internet to the light bulb, TVs, cell phone. The list never ends. And the whole world benefits from you, America. You're also gracious and giving no one Else comes close to the charity work you do around the world. So, yeah, you may not be perfect, and people like to point out your flaws, but your good has always outweighed the bad. So don't stop. Stop being you. The good of the world depends on it. Happy birthday, America. Ronald Trump to put you on the spot. Do you have a cheers for us?
G
Thanks for doing this, Jimmy. So, in the words of my infamous cousin, america is great, and it's going to be greater every single day. Salute or cheers.
A
Whatever you want to do.
B
Hell, yeah.
A
Hell, yeah.
G
All right.
B
Yeah.
A
What. What is America love? I already know what you say. What does America love? There's a lot of answers to that.
B
Are you asking me?
A
Yes.
B
Nuts of steel.
A
Nuts. Miracle loves nuts of steel. That was not what I thought you were gonna say. I thought you're gonna say boots on ground. By the way, bravery.
B
That's the same thing. You take a boot, put it on.
A
Take a boot, put it on the ground. America loves that. America also loves competition. It doesn't matter what it is. We're not so into the World cup because we love soccer. Don't get me wrong. There's some. There's some lost Americans out there that. That like soccer for. For some reason. But what most of America really loves is competition. So in the spirit of America, we have a competition. It is a food eating competition. Let us set the ground rules. We have hot dogs. We have two teams of three. There's a team of three on the couch. And there was. Drew's gonna join our team. Here's how it goes. We have hot dog. That's America. Apple pie. That's America. And we're gonna chug our. And then you have to chug your beer. America. Okay? And I'm trying to explain this. Make sure everyone knows the rules. Whoever goes first, the very first thing you do is the hot dog. The. The next person can't go until you have finished your hot dog. I'm gonna guess magnet. You're the hot dog eater. Yes, I am. Okay, I'm gonna take a ballpark.
C
I'm a shocker.
A
I'm just gonna. Doesn't mean this is what it's gonna be. But you can't stop finishing your apple pie until he opens his mouth and sticks his tongue out and shows that it is completely gone. Then you can start eating your apple pie. And then you can't start chugging your beer completely done. Until. Until that. Does everyone understand the rules? It's a three. It's a three. Verse three. You guys are essentially Canada. And we're the Americans. And we're the American states.
I
Whoa. Canada.
B
I need to be on the beer.
A
I said essentially Canada. We can't both be United States.
C
Well, we can. One's the north, one's the south.
A
Fine. You're the north. We'll be the south. All right, South's going. All right, pass it out. All right. Well, Drew, you're not chugging beer, that's for sure.
B
He's apple pie all day.
A
You're apple pie. Apple pie. Give me.
C
But I do like it.
A
You want to do hot dogs? You want to do beer?
B
I want beer.
A
You want beer. All right, give me the hot dog.
B
I need a beer, though.
H
Oh, hold on. Which one of us. I'm doing.
I
He's chugging the beer.
C
Do I get a fork, or do I have to eat like a savage?
A
You have to be like a savage.
C
Lincoln does not.
A
Grab a freshie. Grab a freshie. Here's the other thing we need.
I
Give me an apple pie. Is it at least warm?
C
Need a fork?
I
A pie?
A
No. Perfect. If your mouth is warm, it will eventually be warm. All right, Drew, here's the last thing we need. I hate all the downtime. It'll be worth it. I need you to show Amanda which two buttons to push to go back and forth, because you're gonna come over here and sit by me, and Amanda's gonna switch back and forth the cameras so. So everyone can see the competition. Real quick.
J
Time.
C
Stupid.
H
Amanda's on the camera. Let's go.
C
It's so easy. A democrat can do it.
G
Come here.
H
She is from Portland.
A
Yes. But she's wearing an American flag, so. Because.
H
So I converted her.
A
That's right. I converted her. Okay.
H
She came across the border.
C
See that right there? That one.
H
All right.
B
Okay. But I have two more hot dogs.
A
Yeah.
B
All right.
A
That's just. All right, hand out.
H
I can eat those.
A
Hand everyone's hand. Everyone's stuff out.
B
We should give Magnet, too, as a handicap.
A
Yeah, we should. All right, we got this. All right. Do you have. You have your.
I
Nope.
A
No, I have a hot dog.
H
All right.
A
All right. It's okay. I don't know why she made four hot dogs.
H
Who we starting with?
A
That's okay. Someone will enjoy them.
H
Me.
B
Perfect.
A
All right, real quick. So we just ensure there's no hiccups. We're gonna start with the hot dog. Do you have a hot dog? All right, we will then go to the apple pie. Do you have an apple pie? We will then go to the beer. Do you have a freshie?
H
Yep.
A
All right, let's crack it. All right. On the smash of the gavel. You'll wait three seconds to start, but I'll go right ahead and get after it. You just keep switching the cameras. You just keep switch. No, you just keep switching the camera angles back and forth so people can see. Again, Mama Dukes. I need to make sure that no one is starting before the other. They have. They can't start until the other. Till the person has finished their hot dog or apple pie. I'm not. You don't have to watch us. We're honest. You need to watch Canada. I'm sorry. The north or whoever you are. Watch them. I just don't trust we're the Yankees.
G
Say it right. Goodness gracious.
A
All right, are you ready? Hot dog on the plate. Hot dog on the plate.
B
It's ridiculous. Come on.
A
Camera back and forth.
C
Yeah, do the camera back.
B
It's ridiculous. I should have played music during this.
A
Son of a. He's not good.
G
Sitting next to you is kind of awesome.
C
Oh, tactical hot dog.
D
No.
B
Eye contact that you two are making right now is glorious.
I
Get it down.
B
Love it. Oh, oh, oh.
I
Come on.
B
Tongue out.
H
Come on.
G
Stick that glorious junk out.
B
Check your beer.
C
Keep it down. Keep it down.
G
There we go. It's neck and neck. It's dry apple pie. The pie.
A
Keep going back and forth, back and forth so people can see what's going on. And. And if you think someone hit the pie out of. Out of Rich Rick's hand. Oh, damn it. What's going on here?
B
Oh, we're host.
I
Oh.
A
What is going on here?
B
The north wins again.
A
We did pick the three largest men of the group to team together at an eating competition.
G
I resemble that remark.
J
Go.
A
That's good.
E
That's good.
A
He got it. Throw it away. Give me the evidence. The north wins again.
G
Yeah.
B
I was so close.
A
So close.
B
I almost picked it up. I'm crying behind these.
G
It's the first time I've had alcohol in exactly, like, months. Man. Thank you.
B
I was so close. If I had two more seconds.
H
Well, that's what she said.
G
I always value those two extra seconds, don't I, honey?
B
That was the worst game ever.
C
That was that of bread in that apple pie.
F
Yeah.
I
That was the driest apple pie on this planet.
C
Get the point?
B
It's a competition.
A
We threw it away.
D
We're good.
A
Y. Thank you, Amanda.
C
Thank you, Amanda.
A
Well, there's. I do believe we've also made veteran podcast history with an eating contest. No big deal. No big deal. I expect all the other podcasts to be talking about that one later because it was so edgy and exciting, but we did it. We did it.
B
Oh, Drew.
A
He's already eating a second.
B
He's here. For the love of the game.
G
Can I. Can I just say that, Brett and Drew, your. Your beards look fantastic. After all this. After all this hot dog eating you. Fantastic.
A
You boys, I thank you for saying that. Thank you for saying that.
C
The crumbs don't stick you guys on.
A
No, but the. Because these two try to tell me every time I eat I have something in my beard, but I didn't tonight. Interesting. Interesting.
G
Badge of honor. Gotta feed the beard.
A
You gotta feed the beard. I'm not sure if that's how it grows, but. But maybe that is how my beard grows because I have. Because I always have food in it.
B
Oh, here we go.
A
All right, back to the super chats.
C
Okay, let's see. Chris B. 1776 says Toby Keith looking down from up above, courtesy of the red, white, and blue for the outro.
A
Heck yeah. Absolutely.
C
$5 for the red, white, and blue. It's a good one.
A
Do y' all want to see what Devin's mom looks like?
B
Oh, yeah, mom, you should get in.
A
You want to see where she gets. Where she gets her good looks from?
B
Come here, mom.
A
Or just want to keep that a secret now.
I
She's.
B
She is.
A
I know. She shows up.
C
Shirt on.
A
All right.
C
She's the behind the scenes girl, just like all the mothers of America.
A
She's humble. I see you didn't get everything from your mom.
E
True.
B
Don't encourage that. We haven't met my father yet.
A
All right, back to the super chats. Now I'm in trouble.
C
Solely 1, 2, 3, 4. Says on average, were troops who fought for independence tougher than US Troops Now
A
I gotta believe they were.
C
I think all men were.
I
Dang.
A
Yeah. On average. I gotta believe they were.
H
Yeah.
C
Tougher time. Blake D. Thank you for the love. Solely. 1, 2, 3, 4. Back in. Who had a harder war? Troops in the American Revolutionary War or
A
troops in GWAT just covered Revolutionary War.
C
Yeah.
A
There was no mechanized soldiers there. They walked across America to go from battle to battle. Some didn't even have boots when it. When it was snowing, nor tents, nor they had a food or.
F
Here's.
A
Here's. Most of them didn't even get paid while they were fighting and dying and taking bullets. We didn't have enough money to pay them. There was. It was. George Washington spent half of his time, he wasn't fighting, just trying to keep the army together because he didn't have any supplies or money to pay them. You think soldiers now are going to do that without. Without boots and getting paid?
I
Some might.
A
I mean, some might. Correct.
I
I think that.
A
Not enough to win a war.
C
No.
G
No.
I
Like.
G
Yeah.
I
Can you imagine marching from upstate New York all the way to Virginia with nothing but the shoe leather express?
B
Yeah.
A
You know when. The crossing of the Delaware, when he did that Christmas Day raid. You want to know how many soldiers we lost? None to the battle.
I
Frostbite, hypothermia. Right.
A
We lost two to the weather. That's. That's how cold it was. Our only casualties was from the weather itself. That's so crazy. That's how hard they had it.
B
I almost died from that, too, before I left Pennsylvania.
A
Yeah, well, it's. I think it's 70 degrees in here, and I think. I think you. You got a little bit of frostbite going on right now. Yeah, I know. Now we're down to a leather. Or up to a leather jacket.
B

Yeah. On a good day.
G
All right.

FF Bloop. Happy 250th, everyone. I love this country. Remember, stay hydrated and drink water. Then bring a garbage bag and sheet. Am I missing something? I feel like I'm missing something.
B
I thought it was a blonde moment. I was like, is this.
C

A
Okay.
C
All right.
A
Holy folk.
C
Brent. Can woman pull their taint?
A
Solid question. And not to put you on the spot, there is a medical professional here. As you know, I. I have pulled my. My taint before, and it was. It was. It was. It was. It was tough on the whole family. Can women also pull their taint? I'll just take a head nod. Yes or no.
E
Sure.
B
It's possible.
A
She's sure. It's possible. Good. It's not just me. It's not just me. Could happen to anyone.
H
Just a woman in. You pulled your
A
magnet. Why unprovoked?
G
Yeah.
H
You gave me a couple of hot dogs. Now it's like crazy.
A
All right, well, he's hot dog drunk.
B
Question.
A
Sure.
B
While we're feeling froggy and we are Can I pull the couch? Sure. Can you guys give me, one by one, your best eagle screech?
A
Oh, your eagle screech.
B
Give it to Trump.
G
I'm so confused by this question. What is an eagle screech? I don't know what he's talking about.
C
That's it.
G
That's my best.
A
Someone who didn't know what one was.
G
I mean, I know the eagle screech is. I don't know if I can get that high.
A
Yeah, that's. And that's acceptable for you? That's the challenge.
G
My voice is too deep and masculine because it's in the Trump family, obviously. Obviously.
A
Benjamin Buttons Franklin, dig into your. Your baby side, your Benjamin Button side. That should get your voice.
G
Squeeze your cheeks really hard.
A
Not bad. Not bad. I'm surprised that that magnet even played
C
the game Little Crow in that one.
A
Now you have peer pressure. Now we have peer pressure.
I
Oh, great. I have no idea.
A
We don't know what's gonna come out either. He's not sure what sound he's about to come out.
G
If your nipples and twist them really hard, will you be able to go a couple octaves higher?
I
I guarantee that.
D
Need a laptop that's built to perform and designed to last all day. Select Windows 11 PCs starting at $499.99 are now at Best Buy. Learn more at Best Buy.com Best Buy. Imagine that.
A
Oh, God. There you go.

That was a good one.
I
I like it.

You got a winner.
B
I. I gotta give it to Trump.
A
I'm giving it to Ronald Trump because it's higher.
I
Trump.
A
Yeah, yeah.
G
We're making eagle. War screech is great. Again,
A
let me hear your war screech.
J
Okay.
H
Fly, eagles, fly.
A
Take the mic away from him. Get out of here.
C
Not doing that.
A
The only.
B
The only Philadelphia talk here tonight will be the Liberty Bell.
A
The correct. Right. The only Philadelphia talk. I agree with that.
I
Put a crack in my arm like the Liberty Bell.
A
All right, what else do we have?
C
All right. Go Knee says, Happy fourth, fellas. And Devon, the British lost a 13 colony lead and can't wait to get my FRCC package tomorrow with my cigars. Just in time to celebrate.
A
America lost a 13 colony lead. I've actually never heard that. That put it that way before. Nice. Nicely done. Love to hear.
C
Right wing nut says I'm just a redneck from Louisiana with too many guns, but I sure love this community. America, baby.
B
First off, never too many guys.
A
No such thing.
B
Get a bigger safe.
A
Get a bigger safe.
B
Leave them out on the coffee table. See what happens.
H
Or a couple safes.
A
Safe in each room.
F
Right?
H
Yeah.
A
It's not limited to one.
H
Mine's in my bedroom.
G
All right.
C
AM Lumber says, would you consider George Washington an early version of a Green Beret? And are you going to do a history episode on him? Keep doing God's work. Diamond eyes for the outro.
A
I've done a history episode on George Washington. So please go. Go. Look at that. Hey. See it? Not. Not. My best work is a little bit monotone. Almost put myself to sleep when I. When I watch it again. But the content itself was good. And I'll do better on the next one. Do I believe him to be an early version of a Green Beret? I don't know if I want to say Green Berets.
D
Specifically.
A
Specifically. But definitely special operations. We talked about it already. The crossing of the Delaware. I've. I've always considered to be essentially one of the very first special operation missions ever conducted by America. So, yes, I absolutely would consider them of that caliber.
B
I have a question. Do you ever consider doing a drunk history episode?
A
I. All the time. All the time. I do.
B
I haven't gotten it yet.
A
I, I don't know. Because even though we drink, I never really get drunk. And you agree.
B
I know that. But if we're gonna do.
A
But that is the only way to. That is the only way to really do that.
I
But the moderators stay sober.
A
The moderators.
B
No. No. See what happens.
A
Yeah. Yeah, I missed that. Did they stop?
C
I'm.
A
I'm sure they did. They stopped doing that.
G
No, they still do it.
A
They still do it.
I
I, I, I feel like it's been a while. But they did one and it was like. And the guy just got belligerent on a huge jug of wine. Like boxo wine drunk. And he just started babbling.
A
Yeah, that, that is. I'm telling you, drunk history is my fa. Watching those episodes was my favorite way to learn history. They're the best yet.
B
You're saying, you know. I don't know.
A
I know.
B
But it's my favorite way.
A
I know.
B
Maybe he would have seen it by now if we didn't.
A
That's true. That's true. That's true. That episode would have been wildly better
H
doing a box socce.
A
Doing box sake. They have boxes about that. I don't know about that.
G
Yeah.
H
Let's do it.
A
All right, what else we got?
C
Sonny Marbury says for America. I vote to have the 24 hour podcast now. It's already started. Ronald Trump. Any input? Drew to Door dash. Y' all some monsters.
G
So my cousin Donald would totally approve. It would be the greatest podcast ever made. Greatest ever. And I think we could do it. We have to keep the content light and move quickly. Lots of super chats, keep them under $5. Lots of content. It would be the greatest singular podcast ever made in American history.
A
I'm no stranger to. To doing extreme things. If you will have jumped out of airplanes at 30,000ft of walking 40 miles, a 24 hour podcast should be a walk in the park. In fact, that's pretty much physically what I'm built for, is to sit in the chair now for 24 hours because of the events I just described to you.
B
Here's the bigger question. Who's your co host for 24 hours?
A
They're going to have to rotate. They're going to have to rotate in
H
straight 24 hours, Magnet.
B
You can't do five.
C
We'll have to rotate producers too, because
G
you have a body pillow caught up in the corner with a binky.
I
Side question for Ronald Trump, Is it true that on the 4th, we are renaming the English language, the language of the US To American?
A
Oh, we should.
G
So this is. We won from the British, the English. So we should definitely call it the American language. For sure.
A
This is why I get upset about when you ask questions like that. The first time someone called it the Gulf of America, I was upset. Not at the renaming of it, upset at myself that I just had always assumed that even though we shared it and they shared it, they're just. They just get the name. So I was upset that I've never looked at it as a Gulf of America. Myself. I'm now upset that I've never looked at the English language and thought to myself, no, we beat the brakes off those guys. It's the American language. And if you don't like the way. And if you don't like our terminology, come and fight us.
I
Have you ever ordered bangers?
B
Bang is a mash.
I
And called it that. No, it's called French fries. Freedom fries, to be exact.
A
Freedom fries. Thank you.
B
They can keep that accent. That would be British, however, right? If you want to be American, they call them chips.
G
Yeah.
E
What?
A
I'm signed.
B
I'm.
A
I'm signing that petition. Absolutely. Let's get it started.
I
That's a gavel right there.
A
That's a gavel.
B
Here.
E
Here.
I
We speak American.
C
All right, Dwazi. Dwazi says, have fun, Drew. But America's longest word is.
G
Okay,
C
new, New mono. Ultra microscopic silico volcano. Keosis. Nailed it. But I say America salutes palm down because we don't surrender. And that's how you say that word. Nice jokes on you. D. Wow. That is a real. Did you Google that? That is ridiculous. Anyway, all right, Blake. Y. YT won't.
A
YouTube.
C
YouTube won't allow a Lincoln quote. Check FRCC. DMS.
A
DMS.
C
DMS. DMSA. Is that DMS?
A
Yes.
C
Make it a little less than. Dang it.
G
That's not on me.
C
That's on you. All right, all right. Why would you. I don't believe that.
F
Blake.
H
Try again.
C
All right, all right. Sonny Marbury says Mustangs and Corvettes are both kings. Corvettes are just kings with a lowercase K. America.
A
All right, this is what he wanted to say in the super chat. Abraham Lincoln, 1838, when he was a senator. At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step to step the ocean and crush us as a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with all the treasure of the Earth in their military chest with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio river or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all time or die by suicide. Wow, he's a little bit before his time on that one. And he's absolutely right. We can say it in more modern terms, but there's no one that can cross any ocean and defeat us. The only people that can defeat us are ourselves. Divide and conquer. It's the only way the greatest nation in the world will ever falter. And they've done a decent job of that. I don't think it was YouTube that kept you from getting that quote. I think there's a character limit that you far exceeded is why that quote didn't get put in there just for future reference.
C
Laughing Mars off. Just got in here. And Magnet looks ridiculous. Happy 250th boys in Devon.
A
He doesn't look that much different than normal, actually.
H
It's great.
I
I would actually say he could be like a Vegas. A Vegas version of Benjamin Franklin.
A
He could be.
C
I think that's what Magnus gonna look like when he's like 82, right?
A
Yeah. Like 10 years from now.
G
Yeah.
C
Justin. 11B says Captain John Granger, 14th Massachusetts Bay Provincial Regiment, was commissioned by John Hancock. July 1775. Love of America runs deep in my ancestry.
A
Oh, wow. Really? That's all that?
C
Check that out. Captain John Granger, Brody Martin. Thank you for the love, man. July 4, 2002. I grade I graduated army boot camp. July 4, 2003. I drank non alcoholic Bud Light in Kuwait after the Iraq invasion. July 4, 2026.
A
Love it.
C
Headed overseas on a quick deployment. Someone is getting some American justice soon. God bless tier one family and God bless America.
A
Thank you, Brody. That's awesome. Wait, wait. A way to list your July 4th doll, Revere.
B
Yes, sir.
A
It's a hard question thing.
E
It is.
A
Do you have a favorite Fourth of July? Someone's asking you have a favorite Christmas. And I think someone usually might have one or they have a. They have a few that stand out in their mind. Do you have a favorite?
B
I do. Because it's sentimental.
A
Okay.
B
Not because it's anything like super deep patriotic that. It was like super badass. But we have a nice little lake house. When I was probably 10 or 12, somewhere in there, I wanted fireworks. And my dad was like, hell yeah, get what you want. It's the 4th of July. We're doing this thing. He was also, you know, wheelchair ridden. Couldn't do too much. So fireworks are on me. I got a little. I got one of those like little tanks that you could like drive around and like when you light them, they. They zoom, you know? So he used to have a Ford E350 big van.
A
Yeah.
B
And this little thing, as soon as it took off, we had space in the driveway. This thing went right under his van before it started popping off. There wasn't a damn thing that he could do. There was nothing I could do either. We just had to sit there and watch and pray. And we did. And it was hilarious. We were equally terrified and amused. And we're like, it blows up. It blows up.
A
That'll happen.
B
And it was hilarious. It was absolutely hilarious.
A
Drew, I could be completely wrong about this. We had great Christmases. Great Christmases.
C
We sure did. Our parents did.
A
Well, I don't remember. This is crazy for me to say right now. And if you might remind me something I might have to say. Oh, yeah, I don't really remember any Fourth of July's.
C
Yeah, you do.
A
Yeah, I do. Hold on. They're starting to come back.
C
Brent. Sparkler fights. Sparkler fights in the driveway. Do you remember sparkler fights? I don't oh, my gosh, son, we certainly have.
A
I mean, I guess I vaguely remember sparklers, but. Sparkler? I don't know. That's if that's enough to be like, that's my favorite fourth.
C
Go down to the lakefront.
A
Drew burned me on the sparkler. That's actually sounds like a bad fourth.
C
It was great to me.
A
We did go down to Lake Monroe and see some. Some fire fireworks.
C
Yeah.
A
But I don't know. They don't. For whatever reason, I don't remember us doing anything big for the fourth. All right, anyone. Anyone there? You guys got any big Fourth of July like, memories to drop?
G
Ronald, real quick. I grew up. My mom was the manager of Galaxy Fireworks.
A
So from the.
G
From the age to 16, I probably blew off a million dollars worth of fireworks. So one of my buddies I played hockey with went to his house up in Pasco county, and his parents both worked in the jail. And we had this cop that lived on their street that had everything set up for all their fireworks, but we brought all of them. He was. Anyway, he was reckless. He had everything set up the wrong way, and he wouldn't let me do everything the right way. At 13. So he gets ready to blow off his fourth. His fourth mortar, and it falls over and it shoots off into the crowd of people that are sitting nearby. So my. My buddy's mom, Pat, she was from Boston. She was a spark plug. She's like, hey, why don't you let him do it? Because she knows what I'm doing. In New York accent. Why don't you let him do it? Because he knows what is what he's doing. That cop went home because he was embarrassed because he did everything wrong. Yeah, it was freaking awesome. There was like 50 people there, and the 13 year old did everything perfectly. It was great.
A
That's the irony of it. That's the irony of it. Magnet. Any Fourth of July memories?
H
Yeah, a couple years ago, my brother, he sets up a big firework display and someone put a mortar in the other way.
A
And don't do that, don't do that.
H
When they lit the mortar, the mortar blew up the tube, hit his leg, blew his leg open. He goes back to where the porch is, wraps his leg up, and goes back to shooting the fireworks. And then after that, I had to take him to the hospital.
A
Okay. All right, good luck with that one, Rich, what do you got?
I
I don't know. I don't think that would be a good Fourth of July.
A
Yeah, it's definitely a Fourth of July memory.
I
I'M gonna get super ish sentimental.
A
Okay.
I
The first one being a dad.
A
Yeah.
I
Because I remember it was like right after Dylan was born and we're like, super worried. We, like, bought like, like, I bought like the teeny tiny ear pro. And it was just, it was just really. Yeah. It was not a lot of firsts. And then the next really big one I remember, like, vividly was now that we've got four daughters and like, all of them really, probably like last year, the year before, really understanding, like the meaning behind the Fourth of July and are into like, just that whole, you know.
A
Yeah.
I
Big softy.
A
We get it. I love it. Thank you guys for sharing. Back to the super chats.
C

B
Brent, have you tried this monster yet?
G
No.
B
It is wonderful.
I
It is delicious.
B
Oh, my goodness.
A
It's the red, white and blue monster. Ultra red, white and blue.
B
It is a rocket monster Pop. And it's so good. It might be a little bit Bomb Pop.
I
Don't be a commie.
B
You know what I mean? It's amazing. Yeah, I enjoyed that little.
A
It's like a little freedom party in your mouth.
B
It is. I know. That's the first one I've had all season.
A
Kind of. It tastes like freedom with a hint of liberty.
C
Yeah.
A
You Know thing. There's. There's a tinge of. Of Second Amendment in there. Can you kind of taste a little bit of an aftertaste? But you can definitely taste it.
J
It.
B
It's amazing.
A
It is taste of freedom.
B
It is amazing.
A
Now for that sales pitch. If monster energy drinks does not reach out to us and start sponsoring this show, nothing will.
H
We literally did a white monster gun together, and I'm still waiting for that.
A
I was a cool gun. Go to Lion Arms, to his Instagram and see his white monster. Pew. Pew. I don't even. We can't even say the word. It's a constitutional right. Thanks a lot, YouTube.
H
Yeah, thanks a lot.
I
It was a G19. And everyone knows what that is.
A
V. Yeah.
I
Oh, yeah. V. That's right.
A
Yeah. What else we got, Drew?
C
All right, here's a question for the hosts and chat. Do you have. No. Do you know America's first commercial vineyard was or is first vineyard was. Easy Google search. Think General Lafayette. Just saying. All right, so I guess he's asking, do you know America's first commercial vineyard or just the first vineyard? What it was?
G
Guys, English is as bad as Lafayette's English was.
A
I do not know America's first vineyard. I do not have that.
I
I want to say something funny.
C
Send it Martha's Vineyard.
G
Oh, did I.
C
Did I steal it?
A
You totally stole. Nailed it.
C
That's what I was thinking.
A
I mean, nailed it.
I
Lafayette was. I mean, that was Louisiana, so I mean, Louisiana.
H
All right.
A
I don't know. Hopeful. Tell us. And yeah, I give you American.
G
This land property. Yeah. For the award that you won. These great.
A
Oh, voices.
G
Does he have many? Why did that sound Mexican?
B
It does sound like Mexican.
A
I know you're over there working, Drew, but be quicker on the. On the camera changes.
C
My bad.
A
You're good. You're good, you're good.
C
All right, Jake. Farm says check out Deborah Sampson, a woman who fought in the Revolutionary War. She enlisted under the name Robert Shirtliff.
B
Oh, I've heard about.
C
Was a scout for 17 months until wounded by a sword. America's very own Mulan. No, that would be China's own Deborah Sampson. That's what Milan is.
B
Oh, my goodness.
C
Interesting.
A
I cannot believe. God bless you. That we do not know more about her or him or it or they. I can. If the trans community gets a hold of this story and they're going to put her on a pedestal and be like, this was the first. This was the first tranny. No, this is the first one.
C
They'll turn it into they'll rewrite.
A
What's the when you jump genders.
C
Pervert.
I
I almost said something that would get did you.
G
Did you say Herbert the pervert? Did you want him to come out too?
A
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
H
Hey.
G
One recommendation for a great series on the Revolutionary war was this was the show turn Washington spies. They did a phenomenal job at bringing in the for sure real stories about the revolutionary war. I learned a lot from that series.

Holy f, Brent. Do you know the founding fathers believed in Bigfoot?
A
No. No.
B
See, you just gotta do it.
A
We almost played a game of fact or fiction where we said a a
B
it was 1776 or B.S.
A
yeah, right. Where we either said but it sounded true but you had to figure out what was I just. What I just said, was it true or not? I feel like we should have played that and that is false. I know that that one's false.
C
Right wing nut says magnet. Looks like Donald Sutherland's been lost in the wilderness about 10 years.
G
You look legit, bro.
C
All right. A n f 1995 says Brent. Did you know a last name? Bly. And Delta was my bde. Sgm. Amazing guy.
A
Yes, I know exactly you're talking about. And he has a very good reputation. I know it was. I know it was mentioned. They just said it. But I just want to expand on it just a. A little bit. Deborah Sampson Ganet, also known as Deborah Sampson or. Or Deborah. Deborah Sampson. Some have a piece, some don't. Was a Massachusetts woman who disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Continental army during the American Revolutionary War. Born in Plimpton, Massachusetts, she served under the name Robert Shirtliff. Sometimes spelled the matter. She was in uniform for 17 months, almost a year and a half before her sex was discovered in 1783 when she required medical treatment after contracting a fever in Philadelphia. And they have a picture of her. And I can see why it wasn't that hard to disguise yourself, but it's true. But that is an awesome story. That's an awesome story. After a real. After her real identity was made known to her commander, she was honorably discharged at West Point New York. After her discharge, Sampson met and married Benjamin Gannett in 1785. She. Which is. This is a little bit crazy for this. Early on in 1802, she became one of the first women to go on a lecture tour to speak about her wartime experience. So you would think that isn't. He was pretty misogynistic back then. That maybe that wasn't an opportunity for her. But that was an opportunity for her. She died of yellow fever and sharon, Massachusetts, in 1827.
C
Anyway, I bet she was hell of a softball player too.
A
So here's my thing.
I
If you're gonna go that route. Then was Jonah of Arc. Like. Like, come on now.
F
Yeah.
H
Like.
I
I don't know.
A
But it's crazy mess.
G
That's.
A
For me. That's the first time I've ever heard of her. Because that is a pretty crazy story. It's cool.
G
Cool story.
A
Apparently everyone else knew this story but me in this room. Did anyone else not know this story?
I
Definitely had no idea.
A
For your honesty, you didn't. Okay. Wasn't the only one. But there's a 5050 bag in here.
C
I knew every story tonight except Lake Superior.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. All right, let's get through it. We're close it in on 10 o'.
E
Clock.
A
I know we've done three and four hour lives before that won't be tonight because I got a vacation to go on. Staycation. But I'm taking. I'm taking four days off and I'm barely gonna check my emails and text messages, but I'm still gonna do it. But barely.
B
Okay.
A
But barely.
B
All right.
C
T. Chambers Farmer Thomas Ditson went to Boston in 1775 to buy a musket. British troops conned, arrested and tarred and feathered him to a Yankee Doodle tune. He got revenge at Concord, turning the song into a rebel anthem.
I
Nice.
A
He got the last laugh.
C
Chris Matting Outro song Freedom Isn't Free Team America Movie Happy fourth of July, boys. And Devin.
A
Yeah, we don't get enough Team America references on this podcast and I would like for everyone listening this to go watch Team America if you haven't.
G
It's legitimately one of the only movies that my Vietnam war father was crying watching. She was there. She saw. He was. He would get tears streaming down his face. I've never seen this man cry with laughter as much as you saw in that movie.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm due to watch it again. Have you seen Team America Forever?
B
Yeah. Okay. All right.
A
At least you've watched.
H
All right.
C
What else we Got Chris says team America theme song for the outro. 100 bucks.
A
Oh, gosh. Well, didn't they. Yeah. They're really getting behind that.
C
Sandy, go. Brian says magnet. Hot dog fund. Love from the greatest coast guard in America. Happy birthday, Marika. He spelled. He smelled it. He spelled it correctly too. T bone. Thank you very much for the love. Brent, how does it feel to be an officer tonight? Are you making all the people in the room salute you?
A
Salute me? It didn't work. No one saluted me. Dang.
C
Put your sword down. George Washington wasn't a Muslim.
G
I was.
A
Although it looks a little old school of a sword. I was gifted this sword by a. By a Taliban. I'm sorry. By an Al Qaeda member in Iraq. It was nice. I mean.
G
I mean gifted.
A
You didn't give it.
C
You use that word loosely.
A
I asked if I could have it, and he didn't say no.
C
He didn't.
A
He didn't say no.
C
He didn't say much.
I
Also didn't have oxygen.
G
He may have been missing his brain at the moment.
A
Those Muslims have been a problem with America for a long time. Just ask Tommy J To ask Tommy J.
C
He knew all about it.
G
It's one of the. The very first things the Marine Corps did.
C
That's right. That's right. Holy F. Magnet cleans up pretty well.
H
Yeah, I do.
C
Ant 1995 said, Brent, would you rather do CQB with the founding fathers and muskets or tear your taint again?
A
CQB with the founding fathers all day long. That's not even. It's not even closely tears his tank. Well, imagine I share too much with you guys. You know, if this is how you're gonna treat me and this is how you're always gonna remind me of my faults. Maybe I share too much.
I
But imagine taking your level of CQB back to the Revolutionary War.
A
That's. You know what I said. That's actually not what I want to take back. The Revolutionary War.
I
Belfred. Machine gun.
A
My. Oh, actually, I was gonna say my sniper abilities.
G
Oh.
A
You couldn't give me enough bullets. But a belt. A belt fed machine gun would turn the tide of every battle that showed up.
B
Walking right up to me. Next row. This is walking right up this guy.
I
He didn't even take cover.
A
Yeah, There'd be statues about me everywhere. This. But my nickname would be Brit Machine Gun Tucker. You know about me. You know about me.
I
The problem is they would know what to call you.
G
Be like.
I
Like Brent Lightning Bolt.
A
They wouldn't know what to call it.
G
What do you have to call the revolutionary skirmish? Not the war.
A
Yeah, yeah. They'd call me something very weird.
C
It's a mini musket gun. Wiley Coyote says, I tried to say durka, durka, Muhammad Jihad in super chat but got centered, censored. So there it is, Wiley. We did it. Durka, durka, Muhammad Jihad.
A
There it is.
C
All right. Always do that for our boy, Wiley.
F
For sure.
C
Last super chat, we did.
A
Yeah.
C
Nice. Nice timing tonight, boys.
A
We've done it.
C
Right wing nut says FOJ memory was about 12 hidden ditch alongside the highway and threw bottle rockets at cars as they drove by. Bad plan. Who says so?
I
Great execution.
B
I was gonna say as long as the execution was good.
A
That's right. That's a. What they call. There's a something memory. It's a core memory. Yeah, you made it a core memory right there. All right. That is the episode. We've done it. We've told America how much we loved her, and she deserves every bit of it. Some of you paid to hear some music, and you will hear just that. And we will hang out with you for just a few songs. Just let me know the song.
H
I'll put. I'll play it.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Remove yourself from my Bluetooth speaker For the love of all.
C
Bring in the turtle box.
A
Yeah, that's right.
H
It's our Bluetooth.
A
It's not.
C
It's never been our Bluetooth with yours is mine.
B
There it is.
E
Yeah.
A
If you don't hear this song and want to hop on a Huey and fly over the treetops of Vietnam. Are you an American?
G
How do you hear this and not think about that?
A
How do you think about this and not wonder? How do you shoot women and children? You just don't lead them as much. One of the greatest lines in movie history.
I
Anytime I hear that, it's instantly that crazy dude with the aviator leaving out the bird with the M60.
A
Like, absolutely. I think about this song.
H
I think about Kobe.
A
Helicopters, magnets.
B
Still too soon.
A
Oliver Tree.
B
Also, I thought that I had the outro there.
A
We. I said we have multiple outros.
B
I would have priority.
G
You.
A
No, you do.
I
You should.
H
You get.
A
You get the last America.
B
Okay. Gotcha.
I
It's a great alternative for you.
A
Oh, timeless. Absolutely. Oh, I forgot. Sorry. I'm. I'm back, guys. I got lost. I got lost in the music. I got lost in the fighting. Charlie.
F
In.
A
In. In my mind. It's a good one. Yeah.
H
Yes.
A
Alex Tuckerson. Thank you. That is one of the best movie quotes in history. I wonder if the real Benjamin Franklin looked as sad and depressed as the one on the couch.
C
There's a smile.
A
Wiley Coyote. Get some. Get some. Animal mother just says, oh, wow. And I get that. And right back at it. Cheers. Happy 4th of July. What am I doing for the 4th? I'm glad you asked. I intend on being on a boat and on the water somewhere smoking a cigar and watching and watching ridiculousness during the day and fireworks at night. That is my plan. Oh, it hurts my heart to stop Tom Petty. It won't back down. M is your turn. Have you thought about Am I the last request?
B
Well, I wanted to do two.
C
You.
A
You can do two. I know a guy.
B
Real American. I'm a real American. Courtesy of the red. Red and blue. Feels like okay. It's the only two obvious options.
A
Here we go.
E
Real.
A
So young.
C
She's so young.
A
Hey, hey.
D
Easy.
B
Tired.
C
Hey, Easy, tiger.
A
Yeah, real American.
B
She couldn't even finish her apple pie. I don't know who you're talking to.
C
That's because I'm listening.
G
Very nice, Drew.
C
So helpful.
B
Oh, no.
A
Hulk. I miss him.
B
I miss him so much.
A
What was that meme about the Hulkster?
B
He has the skin of a hot dog in the hair of an old Chinese lady.
C
Oh, that's.
A
That's. It is terrible. It's kind of true. It's kind of true.
C
It is kind of true.
B
All right, we're going back.
A
She's going back.
G
He was a great American, the Hulkster. I knew him well, actually.
A
That's right.
C
I did make it happen.
A
Did. Did you really? Oh, he did.
G
Dang it.
A
And we're back. Let's see here.
I
There's no kid of the 80s who can't see.
G
See that?
I
Just the Hulkamania shirt ripping open.
A
I don't. I'm surprised no one has requested Wheeler Walker Jr.
D
Yet.
G
Terry Belia used to come to the ice rink I skated at. I taught his kid how to skate. It was crazy. We saw him hundreds of times. Great man.
A
T bone says now someone has to do the atomic leg drop magnet. Get on the ground, Rich. Just give a quick leg drop. And I want to see. I want to see some vertical. I want to see some air.
C
Read that. Super chat, Brad.
A
You got it. Just another 11B. We assaulted the Mount Town and binning in Revolutionary War fashion. And B, knock the sgls hated our class. I love your class. I wasn't even in that class and I already love your class, Joe Saunders. Yippee ki yay.
H
No.
A
From the movie Charlie don't surf. Robert Duvall. Charlie don't surf. Name the movie. Charlie don't surf.
C
It's.
I
No, no, it's.
A
You're gonna be very upset. Presidents. No Older.
G
It's.
A
It's not Apocalypse Now.
G
Dang it.
A
That's a weird but great movie at the same time. All right, see what else we got. I love the smell of napalm. And there's a lot of quotes from that one.
G
I still think Platoon is better.
A
Oh, it's.
C
I have Platoon in my head, out of my head. Such a good for Apocalypse Now.
A
Y. Oh, Six. Six's mom is in the chats screaming Apocalypse now while all you guys couldn't get it. I knew I liked her. I knew I liked her.
G
On my way to Parrish Island. That's the movie we watched on the bus was Platoon.
A
Really?
G
Yes, sir.
A
Not Full Metal Jacket?
G
No, Platoon.
A
Oh, look at the diversity in the Marine Corps. Love it, Love it. This tech text to talk. This talk to text does not like my accent. Right wing nut. He's what? He said he's from Louisiana. I can't take you serious with that hat on. You get. You get one more. You get one more. What do you got?
B
Yeah, we got. Courtesy of the red, white and blue.
A
Courtesy of the red, white and blue.
B
I would take it home, but that
A
is how we take it home. You ain't wrong, Mr. Keith.
I
Did you see the token green one? Alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Sounds like the party patrol or something. The party council.
A
Oh, here we go. American girls. American guys will always stand up and salute. We'll always recognize when we see old Glory flying. There's a lot of men there.
D
Hey, I like your new RAV4.
F
Thanks. Yours too.
D
What does RAV stand for anyway?
A
To me, it's the remarkable, remarkably advanced vehicle.
D
Really?
B
To me, it's the Runway approved vehicle for its amazing style.
F
What about remarkably adaptable vehicle because of
D
its versatile cargo space or really admired vehicle.
H
Oh.
A
Or really awesome vehicle.
D
It really is the recreational activity vehicle. The stylish 2026 Toyota RAV4 Limited. What's your RAV4?
A
My daddy served in the army. Oh, this song gets me such a great song. Although I see why. I know why you would say it. Born in the usa. It's not as a pro American song as you would believe it to be. And it hurts my heart to even say that. Pour one out for Toby. Pour one out my mouth. Oh, I met him. I met him the fourth of July. Ah, let's go back here. Yeah, yeah. Mark Marcus. Hard Got it. Springsteen hates America. He hates the country that, you know, he sings songs for a living and became rich and famous. That country that. Use a. Think about that. You sing a song for a living, not hard work. You didn't invent anything. You didn't create jobs per se. You just say you're rich and famous. That country is so powerful and great that you can do that, and you hate that country. That's mind blowing to me.
I
While singing a song while the bulk of his money was brought to him
A
by a song about America. And then you go to the other
I
side of it where you have Toby Keith, who donated how much of his money back to buy extra prosthetics.
A
Hold on. I got a. Piss off real quick. You'll be sorry that you messed with the Green Beret. In your ass. It's the American way. Flucky 7. Springsteen is an odd individual anyway, so we'll just write it off as a happy accident.
C
Bob Ross.
A
Oh, it's a happy accent. There goes the Bob Ross special, if you would. Nailed it. Yeah, they tried. They try to DJ it in. I don't. Don't do that. You just play the one I told you. Yeah.
F
All right.
A
That is the episode. We will go around the room. Everyone will get their last word. Jacob, what do you have? What's your last word for tonight?
G
Very happy to be an American. Serving my country was the greatest thing I've ever done in my life, besides being a father and a husband. Very happy that I get to be a Christian in this country. And I'm very happy I get to say what I want to say when I want to say it. So for that, I'm grateful to be here. Thank you so much and God bless America.
D
Magnet.
A
What say you, brother?
H
So I have to thank all the people in the Patreon in our community for supporting linear. Holy fook. Bought multiple firearms today. Sorry for cussing. And he also bought the podcast A hot dog Roller.
A
Can't make it up.
H
Thank you to him. And also thank you to Hal Arms for being my brother. And also gonna stand with me and Brent and Drew on the wedding day of the legend. And thank you to everybody else.
A
Absolutely.
I
Rick from Howl Arms, you always got to throw the L's in.
A
How. Well, from Howl.
I
Ow.
A
I know. I know how to. How. She does the same thing to me. It's not how. It's how Arms.
B
How.
H
How.
A
We're saying the same thing. You're adding. No, I'm not adding an L. How.
C
How old Are you saying it the wrong Way.
A
How am I saying it wrong? That's how I say how.
I
Fair enough.
A
But we just had that argument about something. I don't remember what it was. You do not like the way I said it. Because that's what I'm saying.
B
The ornery.
A
No, yeah. I did say honorary. I did say honorary like it's ornery. I'm like that. I. That. I just didn't know. Sorry. We've. We've. We've got off track.
I
I digress.
A
I'm just gonna spell it from now on.
I
I know. H O W. E. No. Ls.
A
That's what I said.
H
I know.
I
Just thankful to be around you guys. Thankful for all the blessings that God has given. Given me 250 years. That this country is just crushed. Everything at everything in every way. It doesn't matter what anyone says. I mean, look at the scoreboard. Nom doesn't count.
A
But it just.
C
It.
I
It. It's. You guys are all brothers and friends and. And to what you said. I mean, one of the greatest things I ever did, aside from being a believer in Christ and a father and a husband, served my country and I could never. That's a debt that I feel I didn't pay back, but that a lot of folks don't. What the. My favorite quote. The taste of freedom is only understood and cherished by those that have sacrificed for it in blood and sweat.
A
There's no truth to that. There's some truth to that for sure. Drew, what do you got?
C
Guys? I went on this 4th of July to just give glory and honor where it is due. And that. That is our Lord Jesus Christ. America, the seeds of America began in Geneva, Switzerland. The father of American history. That's his opinion, not mine. And the English said that this was the Presbyterian revolt. We called it the Revolutionary War. They called it the Presbyterian revolt because the Presbyterians came over here for the freedom of religion, for the sake of their children, their children's children. And God blessed this country and gave it incredible freedom and prosperity. And billions of Bibles have been printed out of this country and shipped to thousands of language all around the world.
A
It's crazy.
C
God has spread the good news of Jesus Christ to dying sinners all over the globe because he prospered this country. And that's why this country has the blessings and prosperity that it has. And as soon as we abandon that, we can close the doors.
B
Yep.
A
Devin, what say you?
B
I'm going to ride on that coattail for a second.
H
God.
B
God has blessed this country. And when you're celebrating this weekend. Remember what you're celebrating for. Try to shed light on some of the fun facts that we shared tonight. Send it to your family. Send it to your friends. Remind them of that. Remind them of why we're celebrating, how we're celebrating. And you know, this whole country is, is built on all of these things. So remember that. Embrace it, love it, celebrate it, go hard. But also remember your roots. And never, ever forget in America. It's been an awesome 250 years. And to 250 more, it's gonna be a hell of a ride. And I'm here for it for a tiny bit of time, but God's God's going to be with us through it. So hang strong, America.
G
And unless Jesus comes back first, thank you, Mr. Trump.
B
That's you too. Hey, here's to Mr. Trump.
A
Everybody said it best. There's no reason to say the same thing twice. So I'll finish with only regret that I have but one podcast to give for my country. Thank you for watching the Tier one podcast live. We will see you next week. Thursday night for the Patriots. Go have Fun on the 4th of July. See you next week.

This special Independence Day edition of the Tier1 Podcast marks America's 250th birthday, celebrating the nation's history, achievements, and enduring spirit. Host Brent Tucker, a former Delta Force operator, leads a lively and comical roundtable of recurring guests—many in patriotic “character”—as they toast America, share memorable stories, field super chats from a passionate audience, and compete in old-fashioned (and hilarious) American contests. The episode delivers equal parts tribute, history lesson, and community roast, all wrapped in a uniquely Tier1 blend of military camaraderie, irreverent jokes, nostalgic memories, and genuine patriotism.
Brent: “Too much of the news is about what’s wrong with America. Well, tonight our top story is what’s right with America.” ([02:03])
Panel emphasizes that America’s founding and progress are stories of “real men with real lives” risking everything for freedom.
Quote:
“They weren’t part of the America we know… There were no F22s coming to save the day… What do you do? You take down a smaller flag and you put up a bigger flag.”
— Brent ([09:26])
Myths debunked and fun trivia discussed, e.g., George Washington’s actual cause of death, the truth about his teeth, the founding mothers’ behind-the-scenes work.
George Washington’s deep Christian faith highlighted:
Quote:
“To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”
— Washington’s first General Order (read aloud at [20:05])
Historical fun facts often delivered with humorous asides and mock debates.
Each participant shares a last tribute or reflection, blending humor and heartfelt patriotism.
Quote:
“So, yeah, you may not be perfect, and people like to point out your flaws, but your good has always outweighed the bad. So don’t stop being you. The good of the world depends on it. Happy birthday, America.” — Brent’s birthday card to America ([75:28])
Tier1’s Independence Day live show is equal parts roast, history lesson, and heartfelt tribute. With a blend of irreverent humor, battlefield wisdom, and deep affection for American heritage, the episode celebrates not just the victories and myths, but the real people—then and now—who make America’s story so remarkable. The spirit of the show is perhaps best summed up by Brent’s closing line:
“I’ll finish with only regret that I have but one podcast to give for my country. Thank you for watching the Tier1 Podcast Live. Go have fun on the 4th of July… See you next week.” ([142:58])
This “America 250” special is the perfect snapshot of Tier1:
