Petty and Unbothered · Jul 26, 2026 · 1h 3m · transcript

Happy Independence day America!!! Hope you remember the pledge of allegiance because we sure didn’t. What’s more petty than gloating that you won? That’s basically what this holiday is about right? This week we cover various aspects of the Fourth of July celebration, including food, fireworks, and commercialization holidays. In likely the least structured but most fun conversation we’ve had we explore traditions and the evolving meaning of patriotism in modern times. If you’re wondering what happened to the petty battle, just listen to the next episode.
