  Let's talk about, I don't know man, my 4th of July was kind of uneventful.
• 0:12
  There was a big build up to this here, you know, for those of you who are in the United States,
• 0:17
  you know, you saw that it was like the 250th anniversary of the country, and I just kept
• 0:24
  thinking about it like it was a going out of business sale, you know what I mean?
• 0:28
  Like where you have the clearance banners hanging shittily from the building and it
• 0:39
  just kind of, everything looks like it's in disarray and it just kind of screams
• 0:43
  like oh yeah, they're clearly going out of business over there. Let's go over there
• 0:47
  and see if we can pick through their, you know, let's see if they've got anything
• 0:52
  good. And for whatever, for whatever reason, I don't know anything about the
• 0:57
  furniture industry, but 4th of July sales tend to be the whole, like a big deal in
• 1:03
  the furniture world. So it felt to me like it was like the 250-year USA furniture
• 1:10
  sale blowout. Everything must go. We're making deals on couches. We're throwing
• 1:16
  in love seats. It's like everything, you know, very cartoonish, very, it started
• 1:25
  kind of with Trump announcing that he was going to have all these, you know, like a
• 1:31
  big concert and then everybody dropped out of the concert because it was crazy that
• 1:37
  they were going to be in it anyway. And then he'd insulted them for dropping out
• 1:43
  of the concert and called them all has-beens and shit all over them, which
• 1:47
  is funny but expected. Then said he would actually replace them because he's
• 1:52
  the great talker and that's what everybody wants to come and see anyway.
• 1:57
  And he's unfortunately not wrong in that arrogant remark, but it just kind of
• 2:05
  set this, you know, it probably even started before that or maybe about the
• 2:09
  same time when the UFC was having the event on the White House lawn. It is
• 2:14
  idiocracy come to life. It is so on the nose that it parodies itself, you
• 2:24
  know? You can't even make fun of it. It's so obvious and it's a
• 2:34
  Camacho-ism, you know what I mean? He just expected President Mountain Dew
• 2:39
  Camacho out there with a machine gun. And frankly, I think a lot of
• 2:44
  people are kind of ready for that. It's been a good run. And I mean, 250
• 2:49
  years is short, but spectacular. Did a lot of damage, but I think it's
• 2:55
  time to consider putting the for sale sign or the going out of
• 3:00
  business sign and the, you know, everything must go sign in the
• 3:03
  window and just liquidating.
• 3:09
  Or you can check it out as an audio podcast, wherever podcasts are
• 3:13
  served. Thanks a lot.
