## Resource

The crew debates why the 4th of July is the ultimate holiday, sparking hilarious stories about childhood illegal firework sales and a co-worker who went "full Karen" and called the cops on his neighbors. Plus, they dive into the absolute crapshoot of soccer penalty kicks and why you'll never catch them in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
