What's up everybody?

Welcome back. Happy excuse day to you.

Turn my air conditioner off. It's July 9th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you

doing, Mark?

Hey, man. Good. We're talking about the, I have a fun show. talking about the ravages of time, everyone's favorite topic. How was your fourth, bud? Do you have a good time? Pretty good. Yeah, you know, I went to this like Hollywood, you know, Hollywood potluck, bunch of improv comedy. People, so obviously by there's like, you know, super lefty or whatever. And it still heartened to me when they had the big fireworks display. Like their house is in a place where you could see the neighborhood fireworks display very well. And they like, were playing the Star Spangled Banner and Lee Greenwood. And people were saluting and singing along and all this stuff. So, you know, I still, I like, because, you know, we're always complaining about how they co-opted patriotism, you know what I mean?

And it's, I like to see a bunch of, a bunch of big old California liberals getting down with America still for one last time.

It does hit for me how fireworks are technically illegal in Los Angeles, but like every overhead helicopter shot from the news looks like, you know,

Beirut in 1983 or some shit.

They, you know, set them off in the street all over my neighborhood.

My wife had to work all day.

We wanted to go out to dinner, but I think it was close.

We ended up going to the Cheesecake Factory because it was the only thing opening.

So proud to be an American.

Yeah, that's very American.

One of the greatest Americans, Mr. Vince Young famously went broke at Cheesecake Factory.

So I don't know if you recall that.

That was like the number one excuse he got for like running through all his money was

they went to Cheesecake Factory.

So, man, that's my own swollen heart.

It was like every NBA player's favorite restaurant on the road was Cheese

Cake Factory for a long time. I'm not really sure why, I mean, it's fine. To me, that's the whole pitch for Cheesecake Factory. It's like, whatever you like, we got it. It's fine. Yeah. No, I know. I mean, I got love for Cheesecake Factory

for sure because like you said
