Are you ready? I'm winning anxiously for what happens next. Here's what's going on. While many of us Americans were able to celebrate our freedom with eating hot dogs and lighting fireworks.

Well, the United Kingdom celebrates the day a bit different. Yeah, you know why? Because we left and I can't. I've always wondered like, what do they do on 4th of July? Like, we're like, peace out. This is our Independence Day.

Well, they say they celebrate thank you day. It's odd. Okay, not as cool. Yeah, I mean, how do you do fireworks on thank you day? You just don't. Yeah, I don't think they do. In a new study done by British researchers on average, an adult will say thank you 207 times a month. Okay.

And that averages out to about six times a day. Okay, that's good. That's good that we were thankful. Right. Like we're thankful we left England.

But that study also also shows that many of those thank yous are insincere. Oh, really? So we don't really mean it. We're just saying it because society says we should.

Well, thank you for that report, Lady Rock. And that seemed insincere. I would appreciate you. You did a great job. I would appreciate an insincere. Thank you over just not having one at all. So we're done here then.

No, I'm lifting way of him. This is the wall in show. We can do a little boo. Yeah, you're weak. And this is customary on Monday. And this is where we go through your stores a weekend. We go around the room.

I'm going to give you a boo or yay. Get more yays and boo. You win a prize. This can be Boo. Yeah, your holiday because it was 4th of July on Sunday. A lot of people have Monday off. And so here's what we have right now. I'm going to share my story with you from the holiday.

I heard fireworks, but saw none of them. Yeah, didn't see a single sparkle, like, but I just heard them for hours. Okay, I have a follow up question. Yes, this will help me say yay or nay. What time were you hearing the fireworks?

They ran in my cul-de-sac all the way up until like 9.50. I think 10 o'clock is the cutoff of sound ordinance. Okay, so I'm going to say yay. That's a fun time. It's a free show. You don't have to spend a penny and you could enjoy it.

Yeah, but I didn't enjoy it. I didn't see any of it. Like I was in my garage. I was working on a whole project. Well, it is mine. I left a garage door down and I just was working. And it was so loud. Like I want to ask my neighbor how many thousands of dollars he spent because it was.

I mean, it was just nonstop. It's like a war zone. Boom, boom, and big things like things that would make things rattle. Like it was ridiculous. But here's the yay part of the story for me. So like finally it stops like booming. And I kind of went inside and looked at the window and they were cleaning up at 10 o'clock.

Good job. I mean, they shot so many things and they had brooms out there and they were using a hose. Like it was crazy. And so then the next morning I woke up.

And my neighbor is out there with a shop vac vacuuming every piece of paper. He was a military guy. So it makes sense. Every piece of flat paper that was there. He was vacuuming anything that went into anybody's yard. Wow.

Nicely done. Good sir. And what did you do to help the neighborhood? I told him. Thank you. I had nothing to do with it. I stayed in my garage. I didn't. I didn't want to be part of it because if I watched it, then I'd have to clean up. But if I didn't watch it, I didn't. I didn't partake. I didn't enjoy it.

No. I just became the old guy in the neighborhood. Like, ah, you can't. So all right. There you go. Betty gives me a boo Gavin. It's a yay because where I was, I was trying to go to bed at 10 o'clock.

Yes. And they were shooting fireworks till like 1 a.m. So yeah, where you live, that was gunfire. All right, 855 33 way FM is the number that's 855 33 way FM. Give us your bouquet, your holiday. What happened on your 4th of July?

Oh, that's pretty good. So far, starting off like a yay. Yup. Um, my brother and I worked together my sister and my husband and my dad ended up giving my mom a lot of lear, which is like a special necklace that has to do with the frat that he was from.
