Speaker C: Neil, you think I have money for a whole room dedicated to toes, Toby,

Speaker B: I mean, in your shoes. What would a toe room even look like?

Speaker C: We don't need to get into that. What's important here is that most running shoes are narrow at the toe, but Altra has has more room for your toes. So they can spread out and your feet can stay in a natural position. The, uh, Ultra Fit is designed to give you room for your toes for comfort, balance and strength.

Speaker F: Yeah.

Speaker C: Thank you. I think that's the first time anyone ever cheered for Bernie Madoff. Let's go. All right. Well done, Henrik. Uh, question, question eight to Ethan Tyson bites off part of Blank's ear. June 29th, 1977.

Speaker E: Evander Holyfield.

Speaker C: Well done, Ethan.

Speaker B: As a typo, it's 1997.

Speaker C: Oh, whoops.

Speaker B: Yeah. So if you don't know about this. Mike Tyson bit off a part of the ear of Evander Holyfield in a heavyweight bout. It was crazy. Uh, it was one of the first things that I actually remember. I was born in 1991. One of the first things I do remember in the sports world is that a guy bit. A guy's insane, crazy.

Speaker C: Four months old. Yeah.

Speaker B: You remember to remember it. This is the, uh. This is the final question of round one, the news headline round to Olivia Roswell army airfield captures blank. July 8th, 1947.

Speaker A: Stop hitting me with the 40s. I don't know. Things from that time.

Speaker B: Roswell, uh, New Mexico.

Speaker A: An alien.

Speaker B: What do you think, Toby?

Speaker C: We'll give it to him because there's some great symmetry that's about to be developed. Can you specify more? Uh, whatever.

Speaker A: Ufo. Ufo.

Speaker C: Yes, we asked.

Speaker B: Well, flying saucer. This is a famous headline. Uh, from that, the army put out a, uh, statement saying that they captured a flying saucer. It was quickly retracted. But obviously sparked a huge UFO scene. An alien scene in New Mexico. Especially Roswell.

Speaker D: Guys, I didn't know the army was like, yeah, we got one.

Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't think they'd say that.

Speaker B: Gentlemen, we got one.

Speaker D: That's so funny. They're like, publish it. Publish it everywhere.

Speaker C: I didn't know the army would lie to us. Uh, here's the thing. The scores are Henrik with three, Ethan with three. M and Olivia with three. How did that happen? That's some good, good old fashioned, uh, parody right there. Adam Silver would be.

Speaker A: That's a good game. That's what they call a good game.

Speaker C: Onto the next category. This category is called before and After. The idea is the last word of one answer becomes the first word of the next answer, creating a mashup that can be spoken in a single phrase. Sounds confusing, but I'll give you an example. So the clue would be a story about a science teacher turned meth dealer turned reggaeton star. And the answer would be. Breaking Bad Bunny. Breaking Bad Bunny. So you bad is the shared word there, but since this is America themed, the answers will all have some ele element of US history in them as well. Let's start with Henrik. Question one.

Speaker D: Thank you.

Speaker C: A revolutionary war protest against people being a drag at social events.

Speaker E: Uh. Oh, my God, I've got this.

Speaker E: We started late.

Speaker C: Well done, well done. All right, question three. To live.

Speaker A: What?

Speaker C: Give me your tired, your weak, and your emu Spokes Animal.

Speaker A: My emu? What?

Speaker E: Can you repeat the

Speaker C: Rapidly deploy colonial militia members to fight aliens.

Speaker E: Minute Men in black.

Speaker C: Correct.

Speaker A: This is an impossible.

Speaker B: You got this batting 100%. Ethan's doing well, that is for sure. It's still early. Question number six. Olivia. Paul Revere warns of flying into the primary hub of Alaska Airlines.

Speaker A: I'm actually going to quit the whole. My whole job.

Speaker B: What is a famous phrase? Paul Revere warns of flying into the primary hub for Alaska Airlines. Let's leave us at the office.

Speaker C: Henrik.

Speaker B: Henrik, do you.

Speaker D: Do you have the steel? The British are, uh. Say it again.

Speaker B: Paul Revere warns enough times of flying into the primary hub of Alaska Airlines.

Speaker B: Tac.

Speaker C: Yes, Ethan, Say it again.

Speaker E: So Tacoma.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: One if I land, two if by SeaTac, with CAC being the primary, uh, airport of Seattle.

Speaker D: And also, can I get half a point for. Do you know the British?

Speaker B: That should be the.

Speaker C: You got.

Speaker B: Should we give him a half a point?

Speaker C: No. Well, he got. He got. Alaska Airlines was. Hub was in Alaska. Juno. Alaska.

Speaker D: Which was stupid.

Speaker C: I'll take. I'll actually take away a point for that. Yeah.

Speaker A: Ah. Idiot.

Speaker C: Uh, Neil, I think.

Speaker B: Okay. Uh, and it's also to. Henrik, question number seven. The first lines of the Constitution should read, Dang, I can't believe Paul Rudd won this.

Speaker C: The first.

Speaker D: We the people's sexiest man.

Speaker C: Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Speaker B: Actually, we the People magazine's sexiest man alive.

Speaker C: Well done.

Speaker B: When did Paul run? Paul Rudd win that?

Speaker C: I think it was like two years ago or something. It was, uh.

Speaker B: There is hope for all of us.

Speaker A: I'm going to say four years.

Speaker C: Four years ago.

Speaker E: Didn't he? Three. Pete.

Speaker D: Paul Rudd.

Speaker B: Three.

Speaker E: No way.

Speaker A: Hat trick 20.

Speaker C: 21. That was five years ago.

Speaker B: Covid. Was a weird time.

Speaker C: Wow. That was all right, uh, final question. In this category, it goes to Ethan, Uh, this Knicks legend. Oh, actually, I should mention this is a triple.

Speaker E: My God.

Speaker C: Before and after. So there are three parts of this, so pay attention.

Speaker D: Okay.

Speaker C: This Knicks legend took the stage at Hamilton, but was not informed of his rights to remain silent.

Speaker E: Jeremy Lynn Manuel Miranda rights.

Speaker C: Yes. Well done.

Speaker E: Knicks legend is a bit aggressive.

Speaker B: What I was thinking, like, Walt Frazier.

Speaker E: I feel like it should be like,

Speaker B: I didn't edit this question. I also probably would have made a. Made a comment on that.

Speaker C: I would. I would give him. He was.

Speaker B: It's true.

Speaker C: He would.

Speaker B: 11 days.

Speaker C: I mean, that just shows how bad the Knicks were for a while.

Speaker B: Okay, tell me, what is the score update?

Speaker C: Uh, Henrik eked out to six points, actually, on that. Ethan with eight now, and Olivia stuck in neutral at three. Was not her. Was not her favorite category.

Speaker B: A lot more to go.

Speaker C: That's all right.

Speaker B: Okay, our next round is state facts. State facts. Pretty simple. Name the US State from the clue. Olivia, let's start with you. What is the flattest state?

Speaker A: Ohio.

Speaker B: Ohio.

Speaker A: Well, yeah. No, really, because I've been there.

Speaker B: It's flat. I'm not gonna lie. It's very flat.

Speaker A: Can I guess again? No, actually, no.

Speaker B: We want to make this competitive.

Speaker C: Sure. Guessing.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker A: Illinois.

Speaker B: Illinois. Also flat, but not the flattest state.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker B: Henrik.

Speaker D: Uh, I'm gonna say Kansas.

Speaker B: Kansas is not correct.

Speaker E: I think it's Florida.

Speaker C: Florida is correct.

Speaker B: Really Playing a different game.

Speaker D: Ethan's.

Speaker C: I've been to the highest point. It's a, um, a dune. It's a, uh, landfill. I don't know if that's actually true, but that's what we'd always joke.

Speaker B: The, uh, the highest point is Britain Hill, which is just 345ft above sea level. And the Washington memorial is 555ft. So this is. This is an extremely flat state.

Speaker A: I thought for sure. Midwest, flat state.

Speaker C: We noticed. As you. Yeah, it's your way along Lake Michigan. All right, question two to Henrik.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: What is the most dense state? State with the most density, uh, of

Speaker D: population or of air?

Speaker A: What does that mean?

Speaker D: Um, I'm going to go ahead and say Rhode Island.

Speaker C: Not that many people.

Speaker B: I thought that you didn't say it with much confidence.

Speaker C: Small.

Speaker A: It's tiny.

Speaker C: You're on the right track.

Speaker E: Um, I think it's New Jersey.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker A: We step out.

Speaker C: Running away from this.

Speaker B: Let Olivia. And I'm going to combine the points

Speaker C: of, um, in which case it's a very good match. So that is the new game.

Speaker B: That's the new game to be one.

Speaker C: All right, uh, question. This is you.

Speaker B: Yeah. Question three to, uh, Ethan and only Ethan. Which state has the highest life expectancy?

Speaker E: Oh, Massachusetts.

Speaker B: Not Massachusetts.

Speaker C: My first buzzer.

Speaker B: I wish I'm from there. Olivia and Henry.

Speaker A: Maybe I'm a liar. Is it Vermont?

Speaker B: It's not Vermont, Henrik.

Speaker D: Um, okay. Highest life expectancy. Let's see.

Speaker B: Let's not all think through this a little bit.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker D: Okay, so let's take you inside of my process. Um, I'm thinking, uh. I'm thinking high education probably is correlated.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker D: Olivia can have mine. Since we're on.

Speaker C: I don't even know if that's.

Speaker A: I'm going based on vibes.

Speaker C: Yes. That's a good go.

Speaker B: Based on vibes.

Speaker D: Vibes. What has a long life vibe? Um, I feel like there's a lot of cool old people in the Southwest, you know, like in New Mexico. I feel like there's a lot of cool people there that are living old, living long.

Speaker A: California.

Speaker D: Um, seems like a pretty healthy state.

Speaker E: Too many.

Speaker C: Too many people there.

Speaker B: Too many people.

Speaker C: Population, Nicer weather.

Speaker A: Is it Colorado?

Speaker B: No, I think we have to wait. Can I guess?

Speaker E: Is it Washington?

Speaker B: It's Hawaii. Wow.

Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.

Speaker C: Hawaii.

Speaker B: But you. You were on the right track with southwest, Henrik.

Speaker E: Just.

Speaker B: Just not southwest.

Speaker D: Thank you. Just further southwest.

Speaker C: Yes.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: All right, Question four to Henrik.

Speaker D: Olivia.

Speaker C: Olivia. Olivia Dean. Uh, m. Oh, my gosh. What is the only Tripoli landlocked state?

Speaker A: Nebraska. No way.

Speaker B: No way.

Speaker C: It's Nebraska. Absolutely.

Speaker B: Hell, yeah.

Speaker C: Very smart. Yeah. To reach a coastline from a triple landlocked area, Traveler must cross at least three separate state or national borders in any direction.

Speaker E: Let's go.

Speaker A: I'm moving abreast.

Speaker E: That's crazy.

Speaker A: I'm going to move to Nebraska.

Speaker C: I cannot believe you just pulled.

Speaker D: You hate the ocean.

Speaker A: No, I just. That made me happy. And so now I'll have happy feelings in regards to Nebraska. But I love the ocean.

Speaker B: Okay. Enrich. Uh, what state has the youngest median age?

Speaker D: Thank you for your question. Okay, so let's. Let's again go through. So it's not southwest, because I think there's a lot of cool old people there. As I previously mentioned, um, I feel like Florida is like 90% teens, so that is pretty high.

Speaker E: 10%.

Speaker B: I've never heard anyone.

Speaker C: That might be the first. Hey, hey. This is the process.

Speaker D: Let me get through my process. Trust the process.

Speaker A: Leave them alone.

Speaker D: I think it's 90% teens, but I think the 10% that's old are the oldest People alive. So that eliminates Florida.

Speaker B: The villages.

Speaker D: The villages brings the median age of Florida to.

Speaker C: Okay, get off Florida.

Speaker D: So. So that's one down, 49 to go. Uh, I feel like a lot of young people are moving to Colorado, but that happened a while ago, and they're getting old every year.

Speaker C: Um, Henrik, you gotta. We're gonna.

Speaker B: I know.

Speaker D: Yeah. Ethan has a doctor's appointment coming up. Yeah, um, uh, I'm gonna give. I'm gonna give it to North Carolina.

Speaker C: Good process.

Speaker E: Okay. I feel like it has to be, uh, associated with religion, so I'm gonna say Utah.

Speaker A: Are you kidding? Wait, why is that religion?

Speaker C: Oh, because babies. Mormons. The Mormons.

Speaker A: I was gonna say Massachusetts. For, like, college.

Speaker C: Like a college wouldn't be bad. That was good process, Ethan. Uh, question six to Ethan. What is the closest state to Africa?

Speaker E: I feel like this is going to be counterintuitive.

Speaker C: Hey, take us.

Speaker B: Trying to decode our question.

Speaker D: Watching him work is incredible.

Speaker E: Um, North Carolina.

Speaker C: We were thinking Africa. South Carolina. So you're correct. No, I'm joking. It is the continent of Africa. And that is incorrect.

Speaker A: Live Florida.

Speaker C: Good guess. Incorrect. I don't want to buzz again, Henrik. No process. You got. Give me one name. One name, one name.

Speaker D: I'm just going main.

Speaker C: Oh, sniped.

Speaker D: Farthest east. Sometimes you got to get out of your own way.

Speaker C: I love when see, maybe get out

Speaker D: of your process is the problem.

Speaker C: Yeah, the process is the problem.

Speaker D: All instinct.

Speaker B: Okay, um, Olivia.

Speaker A: Yes.

Speaker B: What is the third most populous state? So the first is California, followed by Texas. What's. What's the third?

Speaker A: Massachusetts.

Speaker B: Oh, Massachusetts.

Speaker D: Henrik, I'm going to say Florida.

Speaker E: Florida.

Speaker A: Oh, my God.

Speaker C: No process. No process.

Speaker D: No process.

Speaker C: Um, To Henrik, question 8. What state produces the most apples?

Speaker D: California.

Speaker C: That is a logical guess, but unfortunately incorrect. Good guess, though.

Speaker E: Florida.

Speaker C: Not Florida either. Apples go west.

Speaker A: I don't want to, though.

Speaker B: Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, you got it. You got it, you got it.

Speaker E: What just happened?

Speaker A: Washington.

Speaker C: Yes.

Speaker B: Wow.

Speaker A: I just actually read your mind.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker A: Like, I look into your. Yeah, we're on a team.

Speaker C: On a team.

Speaker A: Sorry. On a team even does not need it.

Speaker D: It was crazy. Olivia was in there.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: All right, well, it's pretty. Washington does produce 60% of the entire apple crop of the.

Speaker A: You know, because it's always fall there.

Speaker B: It's always fall. And the University of Washington actually just produces so many. So many varieties of apples. So they just kind of like a.

Speaker D: Uh.

Speaker B: If you want to major in apples, like, there's only. Basically only one place you want to Go.

Speaker A: Neal, what's your favorite apple?

Speaker B: Oh, McCune.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker B: So easy. Or McCown. I don't know exactly how to pronounce it, but it's like M, a C, O, U, n. I've never heard of these.

Speaker D: You got to bring some in.

Speaker A: Um, what makes.

Speaker B: It's just, like, the most essence of apple. Like, when I eat it, it's. It has, like, this white flesh on the inside, and when it's really crispy, it's. It is delicious. It doesn't. You don't really see it a ton, but it's not in season. Like, it's not super, uh, fresh for all that long, but it is my favorite apple. It's crazy.

Speaker A: I knew he was going to have some crazy. That's why I asked him.

Speaker B: Okay, I forgot where. Who's.

Speaker C: Our last question? And this one goes to. Who just answered that correctly? Olivia, what state has the most lighthouses?

Speaker A: Is this for me?

Speaker C: Yes, that's for you.

Speaker A: Maine.

Speaker C: That's what? I guess that was wrong.

Speaker E: Oh, I was gonna guess.

Speaker D: Send it to me.

Speaker C: Send it to Henrik.

Speaker D: Michigan.

Speaker C: Whoa.

Speaker B: Oh, he's from Michigan. Michigan, guy, you can't swing a cat

Speaker D: without hitting the lighthouse in that state.

Speaker E: Really?

Speaker B: That's the state motto.

Speaker D: It's because that's where I was born. In a lighthouse.

Speaker C: 3,288 miles of Great Lakes shoreline. So well done, Michigan. We should have known that. Actually, I don't know if we can do a team up anymore, because it got no. Mighty close.

Speaker B: We. We made a decision whether once we linked mine. We linked it. Yeah, linked minds.

Speaker C: Henrik has, uh, nine now. Ethan's only at 11. Okay, and then Olivia is in. She got a slash in our column. It's five now, so do some math.

If you can't name one, you are out. Last person standing wins five points. Second place gets two. Third place gets a pat on the back. Um, Ethan, since you are in first, why don't you lead us off Yosemite. Yosemite. Olivia.

Speaker A: Um, there's. It has trees and grass.

Speaker B: I know which one you're talking about.

Speaker A: Um, just give me one second. I totally did not grow up in New York City, so this is really easy for me.

Speaker C: I. I won't lie.

Speaker A: Um, you know Prospect Grand Canyon. Oh wait, wait.

Speaker C: Yes.

Speaker A: Okay, good.

Speaker C: Correct.

Speaker B: Grand Canyon National Park.

Speaker E: Um, Pinnacles.

Speaker B: What's that?

Speaker E: I wanted to save that. It's in like.

Speaker C: Oh, it's in California. Pinnacles National Park.

Speaker D: Yeah, it's like I wanted to save

Speaker E: that because I can't think of another one.

Speaker C: Correct.

Speaker B: Right.

Speaker A: What about Niagara Falls?

Speaker B: I do not think Niagara Falls is a national park.

Speaker A: And see, that's what's wrong with our country.

Speaker C: Well, it's not in our country.

Speaker B: It's not.

Speaker E: Right.

Speaker A: We split it.

Speaker C: I know.

Speaker B: It is kind of crazy that it's not, but also international. What's interesting is New York does not have a single national park.

Speaker A: Yeah, well, that.

Speaker C: Should we just donate it to her? Guess again. Because that one was tricky.

Speaker A: Yeah, that was a trick question on my end to you. Um, uh, and do you ski at this place?

Speaker B: Uh, I'm m going to say, like Breckenridge National Park. Aspen.

Speaker C: Just name a really large feature in mountain.

Speaker A: Red Rock.

Speaker C: No.

Speaker B: No. All right.

Speaker A: Sorry.

Speaker B: But. But you are still in essentially with Henrik, so my meld and Henrik. What?

Speaker D: Send me any more that you can think of. Ah, give me. Computer, give me Glacier National Park.

Speaker B: Glacier national park in Montana.

Speaker C: Correct. Correct.

Speaker E: Acadia National Park.

Speaker C: Correct. In where?

Speaker E: Maine.

Speaker C: Maine. Great place.

Speaker D: Uh, computer, show me Joshua Tree.

Speaker B: Joshua Tree.

Speaker C: These boys are flying. These boys are flying.

Speaker E: Um, how long do I have?

Speaker B: Yeah, 20 minutes, 10 seconds.

Speaker C: Take your time. Go through your process.

Speaker B: Oh, Big Bend, Big band. Yes. In Texas.

Speaker D: Um, I don't know if this is national or state, regional level.

Speaker C: This is going to be.

Speaker A: Ah.

Speaker D: Okay. I'm going to save the state one and do a different guess. Um, is there a Rainier national park like in Washington?

Speaker E: Oh, thank you. Just reminded me of one.

Speaker B: I. There is Mount Rainier National Park.

Speaker C: Well done.

Speaker B: Nice.

Speaker E: Olympic National Park. Correct.

Speaker D: Is. Okay. Uh, this is. This is so scary. This is like guarding Jordan in his prime.

Speaker B: I'm going to direct you to some regions. Like, I want us to keep going with this. I'm. Some regions that we haven't been to yet. Utah has some very famous national parks and also some in the. Maybe more Appalachian area and central United States. Over there.

Speaker D: Um, okay.

Speaker C: Um, you just covered 90% of the country right there.

Speaker D: Oh. Oh. What's the, uh.

Speaker A: Crap?

Speaker E: Henry, think of the pelicans.

Speaker D: The pellet.

Speaker C: Oh, that's a great hint. Wow.

Speaker B: National park

Speaker C: in Utah.

Speaker D: Um, the Utah pelicans.

Speaker B: Okay, Henry, we need an answer.

Speaker D: Okay, uh, I'm going to just go with the, uh. Is Sleeping Bear Dunes a national park?

Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. I've Been to Sleeping Bear, dudes. It's not. That's Michigan. Yes. That is an incredible place, though. There's only one national park in Michigan, which is Isle.

Speaker B: It's the least. It's the least visited national park.

Speaker C: Isle Royale National Park.

Speaker D: Oh, is, uh, that, like, off the coast of Detroit? Oh, no, no, it's in Lake Superior.

Speaker B: Right. It's way up in Lake Superior. It's very hard to get to. Okay, Ethan, just to win this, you need to name one more.

Speaker E: Zion.

Speaker B: Zion.

Speaker E: Wait, can you tell me.

Speaker B: Oh, yeah.

Speaker D: Um, I mean, I had Irish Zionism in my head.

Speaker E: Is Great Smoky Mountains one?

Speaker C: Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker B: That's the kind of one I was.

Speaker A: I would just like to say this is the most boy episode. This is the most white man. You're not allowed in American history.

Speaker C: You're not allowed to, uh, enjoy nature.

Speaker A: No, I love nature. But, like, this is if a dad were a trivia episode. And I'm not going to be a dad ever.

Speaker C: Here's the thing. Everyone ignored Florida. What about Everglades? M. No one. No one. Remember the ever.

Speaker A: We ignored Florida.

Speaker B: Mad about ignoring Florida.

Speaker C: Come on.

Speaker B: All right, so Ethan gets five, and Henrik and Olivia get two, which means a Tide.

Speaker A: Carry me.

Speaker B: Ethan was down three when we started this round. I think we have a tie.

Speaker C: Uh, 15 to 12. Correct. It is a tie. It's a tie ball game right now.

Speaker B: And that's it, though, because the next part is a fan vote thing. So y' all tied.

Speaker E: Wow.

Speaker C: I guess.

Speaker E: Give us a tiebreaker.

Speaker D: Yeah, tiebreaker. Tiebreaker. That's, uh, the least dad barbecue tools.

Speaker C: We'll use the draft. It's a tiebreaker. Uh, Neil, explain the last.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: Thing we're doing here.

Speaker B: So we're gonna move on to the listener's choice portion of the show, and it's going to be a tiebreaker for the entire thing. It's going to be a draft, not for the NBA. But today, we're going to be drafting the most important components of a July 4th backyard barbecue, because hopefully, that's what we're all doing tomorrow. You're drafting a team of four. And this is where we want all the listeners to play along as well. We want you to weigh in on whose backyard party you'd most want to go to this Independence Day. YouTube comments, Spotify comments. Send an email to Morning Brew daily at Morning Broadcom. You will be the arbitrator of the barbecue draft, and we'll announce who accrued the most votes on our Instagram final wrinkle to this draft. Uh, Toby and I are playing as well, and we're going to take up the last two spots. So there's going to be a Snake draft, which means our leader, which is a tie. It's all of you. I guess we'll just start with Henrik. We'll go first, and then we'll go to Ethan, and then Olivia.

Speaker A: You guys hate me.

Speaker B: No.

Speaker C: Oh, do you want to go first, Olivia?

Speaker A: No.

Speaker B: Okay. I mean, you don't necessarily want to be first, because I explained the Snake draft is the last person in the draft gets to choose twice, and then you go back. Uh, and so we will do it like that. Henrik, what do you take in number one overall at your July 4th barbecue?

Speaker D: So this is just like any item.

Speaker B: Yeah. Like what.

Speaker E: What.

Speaker C: What element?

Speaker B: What's something that you absolutely need at a barbecue?

Speaker D: Ah, just so I'm just. So my process is this, like, Family Feud style, where, like, I get the most points if this is the one that the audience said the most.

Speaker C: No, you're creating the vibe.

Speaker B: You're building a team.

Speaker D: Building.

Speaker B: I'm building a team of four.

Speaker D: Give, uh, me charcoal.

Speaker C: Whoa.

Speaker E: Crazy.

Speaker A: That's a crazy.

Speaker B: Honestly, I had. I had charcoal grill as potential number one pick.

Speaker D: So it's the.

Speaker E: But he just said charcoal. He just chose one component.

Speaker D: Oh, so I have two picks now. Yeah.

Speaker B: Grill, Hot dogs, hamburgers. No. So charcoal.

Speaker D: I traded Mikhail Bridges away. Now I have four picks.

Speaker B: You meant charcoal grill, right? Or just literally charcoal.

Speaker C: Charcoal.

Speaker D: It's just give me a big bag of Kingsford.

Speaker B: That's charcoal.

Speaker C: All right, Ethan.

Speaker E: Um, okay, not so much. Just, uh, for the Fourth of July in general, a prerequisite is water. Any body of water.

Speaker B: Body of water. Okay.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker E: Also staying hydrated.

Speaker B: Okay, Olivia, purpose player.

Speaker A: Give, um, me good sunny weather.

Speaker B: Ooh. That is very important.

Speaker A: I mean, that's the most important.

Speaker B: That is the most important.

Speaker A: A cloudy fourth of July. I don't care what else you bring. It doesn't matter.

Speaker B: Okay, Toby.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker B: Uh, yeah, it's true.

Speaker C: I'm going with the grill master. Someone m. Who commandeers the grill is just the guy who's our girl who's laying out Toby. Exactly. And just is the person that, you know they're going to serve up juicy, delicious, everything. Grill master.

Speaker B: Okay, uh, so I got two picks.

Speaker C: Two picks. Neil.

Speaker B: Beer.

Speaker C: Wow. Beer fell. Beer fell in the draft.

Speaker B: I mean, is that a steal?

Speaker C: He had some off.

Speaker B: I do think beer is off the shoes for sure. Because even if you don't have a sunny day, if you have beer, it's all gonna be fine.

Speaker C: Wow.

Speaker B: Um, I'm going beer, and then I'm also going good playlist. Fourth of July playlist. It's so important.

Speaker C: It's so, uh, vague.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker C: Good playlist. Tell me what's on it. Is it patriotic? Is it country?

Speaker B: It's classic.

Speaker C: Here's why I'm mad you put 16 because I had big booty mix volume 11 picked as, like, the playlist that you have to play.

Speaker B: Okay, well, I'm good playlist.

Speaker C: All right, fine. Be your good playlist.

Speaker B: I don't see how my. My team loses now.

Speaker C: That's like.

Speaker B: You're in a good place.

Speaker C: That's like saying food.

Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's a little.

Speaker D: After this, can we get, um. We don't have to do this on air. Can I sort, uh, of learn more about what Big Booty playlist?

Speaker C: You guys not know Big Booty?

Speaker E: Definitely.

Speaker B: We'll talk about it after. Toby, back to those.

Speaker C: Also had.

Speaker E: That's like high school class.

Speaker D: Even's got an orb that he attaches to in his home after work.

Speaker C: All right, I am saying a dog. Preferably multiple dogs, preferably a golden retriever. And they have to have a bandana on as well. So a golden retriever with a bandana on.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker B: Olivia, Repatibility.

Speaker A: Me. Um, I'm going to say a cousin or family friend who is drunk and has no survival instincts when it comes to the fireworks. Oh, light off. Anything as big like it's not even legal in the state.

Speaker B: The drunk pyro cousin.

Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: Ethan.

Speaker E: Fourth, uh, of July.

Speaker C: This is. This was. Doesn't even require knowledge.

Speaker A: He's stumped on.

Speaker B: He can.

Speaker A: He's gotten everything right in the whole thing.

Speaker B: And he can name a national park in Guam, but not, uh.

Speaker E: Yeah, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think.

Speaker B: There feels like a big piece missing.

Speaker D: What do you already have? Think about your team, how you want to build it.

Speaker C: The.

Speaker D: The interplay between the. The players. Correct.

Speaker A: What if you.

Speaker E: Hot dogs.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Um, how did hot dogs slip?

Speaker D: Classic hot dogs.

Speaker B: Henrik, what are you trying to pair with?

Speaker E: Charcoal.

Speaker D: With charcoal.

Speaker B: Well, give me a lighter.

Speaker D: We already got fire. Let's go. Ice cold. Watermelon. A cooler full of watermelons in there.

Speaker B: Watermelon. Very important.

Speaker C: It goes great with, um, a charcoal dust.

Speaker D: Exactly. Snake, uh, style. Do I have next one? Um, Give me hot dogs.

Speaker B: No, hot dogs are off the board. Oh, sorry. Hamburgers.

Speaker D: Confused the two.

Speaker B: Okay, hamburgers.

Speaker D: One's long. That's how I keep them straight Ethan.

Speaker E: God. Everything is like. The only things I can think of are like the cringiest college answers. But I'm going to say from the perspective of celebrating in high school and college, I'm going to say like a really overly sweet, disgusting, like 8% 32 ounce, uh, can of something, whether that's a 4 loco or like a truly Lemonade.

Speaker B: Like a lemonade.

Speaker E: Anything like that's disgusting that you have on the fourth. Yeah.

Speaker A: I mean, there's nothing better.

Speaker B: Okay, so Mike's hard. Just like a tall boy. Mike's heart.

Speaker E: Yeah, sure.

Speaker D: Wait, so what's your.

Speaker B: What's your water?

Speaker E: Hot dogs.

Speaker D: Water. That's great.

Speaker B: Olivia.

Speaker A: I'm gonna say lawn games. Like a slip and slide or a corn.

Speaker C: That's different. How is slip and slide part of a lawn game?

Speaker A: You put it on a lawn.

Speaker E: Yeah.

Speaker A: Uh, what do you literally mean?

Speaker C: I had slip and slide, but I, I.

Speaker A: Okay. So would you like me to choose?

Speaker C: Yeah. You take long games. I want slip and slide.

Speaker A: Whatever.

Speaker C: You can have both.

Speaker B: It's not draft.

Speaker C: I know, but like, I think a

Speaker A: team is like other people are not too vague.

Speaker C: That's like. No, super vague. Right.

Speaker B: Long games is fine.

Speaker C: Is slip and slide and cornhole part of the same category?

Speaker A: They are both on a long.

Speaker C: Okay. Okay. Fair enough. I'm just, um. You took my guy. That's all right.

Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Don't be mad.

Speaker C: No.

Speaker D: Should it trade it up?

Speaker B: If you wanted to build your slip

Speaker C: and slide, that is true. All right. I'm sorry for that outburst, everyone. I really wanted.

Speaker A: That was.

Speaker C: I really wanted to slide and slip. Oh, no. They're coming for me. All right. I'm saying a ball, a football, a soccer ball, any ball that you can toss around.

Speaker D: I like it.

Speaker C: Uh, you just need it for the fourth of July.

Speaker B: Okay. This is tough right now. I have just have beer and a good playlist, which is basically. I don't even need to. I mean, I just want to take the rest. Like, I'm pretty already one. I'm going to go with potato salad. I think it's the best side.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: I mean it.

Speaker B: Wow, that is.

Speaker D: I mean, that's. That's.

Speaker B: Do you think that's like a seventh round pick that I took in?

Speaker E: That's an undrafted free agent. Yeah.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: Are you kidding? I love potatoes.

Speaker D: I mean, obviously there's upside, but mayo in the hot sun. Real character issues.

Speaker C: Tough.

Speaker B: Okay. Um, and then for my final pick, hopefully this redeems me. Um, solid paper plates.

Speaker C: It's pretty solid.

Speaker B: Got to handle the Hot dogs. Got to handle the cheeseburger. It's got to handle the potato salad, Potentially macaroni salad. A lot of mayo dripping on it. Um, so you don't want to have a flimsy plate. You want to have very solid, high quality, uh, paper plates for your barbecue.

Speaker D: So that's a team player.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: All right, so my team's done beer. Good playlist. Potato salad. And solid plates.

Speaker C: I mean, potato salad.

Speaker A: Yeah, really tiny. You know what?

Speaker B: I know, I know. The potato salad fans are going to back me up here.

Speaker A: Yeah, it's divisive.

Speaker C: Divisive for sure.

Speaker B: All right, Toby, round out your team.

Speaker C: I'm going sunscreen. Nothing ruins the Fourth of July like too much of a tan.

Speaker A: Yeah, but that's a tomorrow problem.

Speaker C: Exactly. And I'm caring about you today to care about you tomorrow. Sunscreen, Olivia.

Speaker A: Okay, wait.

Speaker B: I have sunny weather, drunk pyro cousin. And long games.

Speaker A: And long games. God, it's good. Um, I'm going to say those. The red, white, and blue popsicles.

Speaker C: Oh, wow. Good, Paul. Good Paul.

Speaker A: God, my team. Guys, I'm sorry I didn't do well at trivia, but I killed this Ethan.

Speaker E: Okay, I'm going to say a general ambiance of a place where you would be camping. I feel like where I Mostly celebrate the 4th of July is a place where there's, like, pine trees and, uh, like a creek nearby.

Speaker B: You don't think that's going to be competing for playing time with body of water?

Speaker C: I know.

Speaker E: Um, no, because the body of water is next to it.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker A: It's not somebody's house you're just doing it in, like.

Speaker E: No, yeah, it's mostly like. Yeah, like Tahoe or something like that.

Speaker B: Okay. I love being at a national park

Speaker C: surrounded by buildings in New York City for Fourth of July. That's true, but I mean, I guess. Fine, take your nature. Take your nature.

Speaker B: All right, Henrik, fill out this team.

Speaker D: Uh, computer, show me friends. A lot of people forgot to have friends.

Speaker C: Friends.

Speaker B: All right, Neil, I know my team is just me by myself with a good playlist and bad weather.

Speaker D: Obviously not each their own.

Speaker B: You know what I mean? So we will publish this also on, uh, read the teams out. Uh, and, yeah, let us know in the comments. And Spotify and YouTube. Or you can email us who won because we actually have a tie game right now. So we need to know Henrik's team Charcoal, watermelon hamburgers and friends. What do you think Yahoo Fantasy would grade that?

Speaker C: Charcoal went number one. Friends with last.

Speaker E: Yeah, you got you made up for it.

Speaker B: I got a charcoal, watermelon, hamburgers and friends. Sounds like a good time to me. Yeah, honestly, um, Ethan, you got to be next to a body of water, hot dogs, a tall boy of Mike's heart or something pretty disgusting and sweet and the general ambiance of camping. Maybe some pine trees.

Speaker E: Yeah, come on.

Speaker C: Come on.

Speaker E: With my Mike's hard.

Speaker B: Olivia needs sunny weather. The drunk pyro cousin, lawn games, and red, white, and blue firecracker. Uh, popsicles.

Speaker D: Olivia's is lit.

Speaker C: That's really good, Mouth.

Speaker A: Thank you.

Speaker B: Different colors, too, with a bump up.

Speaker D: Toby.

Speaker B: Oh, no.

Speaker E: I don't know.

Speaker C: This sounds like a girl before you hear my team. It sounds like a team a dog would make in that context.

Speaker B: Listen to this grill master. Like a good grill master.

Speaker E: Just.

Speaker B: Just takes over everything. You have to think about it.

Speaker D: No charcoal.

Speaker B: No charcoal. A dog. Preferably a golden retriever. A ball and sunscreen. And then my. My team. I feel like I started out so strong. Don't know what happened at the end, but I'm still sticking with it. Beer. I think you need beer. Good playlist. Potato salad and solid paper plates.

Speaker C: I mean, soft paper plates. They bring the squad all together. Yeah, I think you might lose it with potato salad. Should have gone chicken.

Speaker B: We'll let the people decide. That's the whole point of this. Either way, I'd want to go to all of your parties. And we appreciate you playing with us. Uh, hope you all have a good, uh, fourth of July with at least some of these components. Um, and we will see everyone back here on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Speaker F: Hear that? That's the sound of busy. To a restaurant, all that shouting and banging might as well be a symphony. It means the long days and longer nights are paying off. Sure, it's noisy, but there's a worse sound. This. Not busy. Busy means business. Which is why toast gives restaurants the tools and tech they need to help them perform under pressure. Sounds pretty good, right? Toast built for busy.
