In honor of the recent holiday July 4th, I recorded this episode in a fireworks tent with my friend Jaimie Vaughan. We had a great time just talking about all kinds of random topics.

Topics including:

-Wreck it Ralph 2

-Hanson

-Podcasting

-Rubber rat hood ornaments

There was a few issues with the sound being that we recorded outside in a fireworks tent. A few parts I had to cut for sound reasons. A few I left in that weren't as bad.

Thanks for listening!
