Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the sixth episode of the Fire Escape cast. I'm Mike

Bihardi. Yet another holiday Monday. We're catching you on. It was Juneteen for last episode.

Now it's what, July 5th, 2021. If you're in America, we are observing Independence Day today.

Hope you've been having a swell weekend. I'm here with two of my lovely friends, as always, Daniel Reichert. Hello, that's me. And Mary Kish. Hi. Let me quiz you guys. We're talking about holidays here. What month is Labor Day in? September. Mary, did you know that, too? No, I didn't know that. Okay, what month is Memorial Day in?

May.

May.

Okay, and you both knew that?

Memorial Day. That's the only reason I know. Well, now I'm going to remember it. I think those are the two, like, actual holidays where, like, the mail doesn't come and you don't go to school or whatever. I'm not trying to turn the whole military against you, but do you know when Veterans Day is?

No, do you?

November.

Is that like a no mail day?

Like a real holiday?

Uh, I'm not trying to turn the whole military against you, but do you know when Veterans Day is? No, do you?

November. Is that like a no mail day? Like a real holiday? It's federal, yeah. It's definitely real. So I don't know why, but those are not like Labor Day. I just said, no, mind. And Memorial Day are the two that, like, I don't know when they are until like four days beforehand. And it's always like, oh, shit, we don't have work or, oh, shit, why isn't the mail here?

You know, like, do most people know when those are? Labor Day for me has always been like a dreaded thing when I was younger. It's like, ah, fuck, school's starting again soon, like high school. Memorial Day this year was the first time in a while. I looked forward to it because things had been opening back up and it was like, oh, this is the first time to do a three day go out of the city somewhere. But I don't think I normally look forward or like expect Memorial Day. That one's always caught me off guard. You know, now that I think about it may make sense because I used to be obsessed with entertainment weekly when I was in high school in junior high and they always talked about like oh we're kicking off the summer movie season with Memorial Day so I guess that makes sense may yeah I'd say those are probably the two that

you're allowed to not remember like July 4th I know every single time I figured that much yeah

do you guys have plans for or did you do anything this past weekend?

Oh, this past weekend we just had.

Oh, yes, the memory.

I can still smell the snakes and sparklers.

We're recording on July 1st for what it's worth.

What do you guys do on this weekend?
