Hi, welcome to this episode of Kennedy saves the world.

Tomorrow is our country's 247th birthday.

And that means I have put out the bat signal to our nation's greatest patriot.

Pete Hankseth was not available.

So Jimmy Fela right here in the podcast studio.

Jimmy, welcome back.

Hello, hello.

Happy birthday. It's Monday, which means we're doing our thing, Jim. How about that? So how should one best celebrate 247? Well, listen, I mean, it starts with fashion. Okay, as you can see, for those of you watching on the videos, you're not a true patriot unless you dress like a stripper who let himself go. I mean, I'm going to be honest, if I show up to a party, okay, as I want to do, dress like this, I mean, you'd be happy to see me and you know me and you'd be like, oh, Jimmy's being silly. But if I walked into a party and you didn't know me, would you not concern yourself that they might have hired a stripper and not a good one? Guys, I'm wearing like a denim vest for my cry for help collection. Where did you get the vest? The vest is pretty great. It's actually pretty rad. I mean, I love anything with the stars and stripes. Yes, yes. And this has got like almost like a fuchsia vibe on some of the stripes. Yeah, no, it's a, I can't tell if it's like Betsy Ross yellow or I hate America and I can't use red, white, and blue.

No, it's more like Rick Ross, the rapper. You know, Rick Ross is another like chubby overweight guy who wears a lot of chains and ill-fitting garb.

When are you going to get chains? When are you going to Mr. T and introduce some gold? Dude, I'm going to tell you, and shame on you for even suggesting this, because I am on such a slippery slope when it comes to fashion. I'm like a day away from Mr. Tying this or getting a haircut that'll never get me booked again. I mean, have you seen like, I love Pete Hegseth. And he really is our nation's finest.

But he's rocking a full mullet.

No, no, he committed now. Yeah. He's gone full. I mean, that's like me shaving one side of my head. That'd be a look, though. Do you think it would? No, it would. I don't know that it would be a good look. I don't know that it would be met with applause and approval from those who have things to say about.

Well, there's that. Okay, if you could just turn the ringer down in the office a little bit because there's going to get calls. I once got a call really quick. Happy Birthday America. We'll get right back to it. 247. I once got a call about something I wore on the air in my radio studio. And I didn't even know we had a phone in the studio. Wow. But it was that offensive. Was it during a TV broadcast or what you were on the radio? No, it was what I wore on TV. Okay. But I did a TV hit in between commercial breaks, ran back up to the radio. And the phone was ringing while I was on the air. It was that outlandish. And I didn't even know there was a phone in the studio. We couldn't even find it. I was wearing like one of my PM jackets for an AM hit. So there might have been some velvet involved. Like again. Again, do you call it bedazzling? Listen. And what is, do you do you pre-order them? Do you custom order them? Because we get a lot of questions about this on the Lafts and Liberty Tour. And there are a lot of people who come dressed as you. Well, the thing is that... And we should be calling social services on those people before they step foot in any venue. You have to pre-order mine because when it comes to my stylist, you don't want to startle his seeing eye dog.

The dog is very, he's a little jumpy. It's the thing about the guide dogs. Ah, listen, I get him all over the place. But as far as America, because you did ask me a question that I intended to answer 31 minutes ago, this thing about the 4th of July. And this goes back to our childhood.

As people who are in on the joke that if you live in America, you're really lucky, is it's I consider it the greatest holiday in the history of the world. I consider it even bigger than Christmas per se because it's summer and it's barbecue. But I think it's a day to be cool more than anything because what is perspective but cool? You're not an A- you're in on the joke that you have it pretty well so you don't need to manufacture any grievances and pee in the punch bowl of fun but there are people who who love to do that of course there are but they don't belong Thanksgiving 4th of July yeah they just want to show up and dump their drama on everybody else don't pee pee on my punch bowl. No, don't even go anywhere near your punch bowl.

Because, you know, if people are going to be so drunk, they'll have no idea there's hearing

enough.

I was just going to say.

Then there's going to be a hepatitis outbreak.

I got to pee, you wouldn't even know in your punch bowl.

He would not be one of the top three most bothersome ingredients in your punch bowl as someone who has drank your drinks. Seriously, Bill Cosby thinks you're an aggressive bartender.

That's all I'm going to say.
