Ep 116 “He does WHAT with his CORN DOG?!” Reacting to AITA & AIO 4th of July Stories

Send us Fan MailLive from the Barbeque Hotdog Store… It's Tuesday afternoon! Also known as our annual celebration of everything “American” and our Fourth of July 🇺🇸 | Am I the A Hole spoiler free episode! We take it even further this year to expand into a special “AIO,” or “Am I Overreacting?!” segment to remind us all why we love getting together with friends and family for the “holidays.” What a joy it is! If you want to see our most red, white, and blue-coded outfits make sure to tune into the YouTube video… there’s a camo vest, a wig, a bandana… and sunglasses that look like they came straight out of the early 90’s. Essentials that we found just lying around the house… and shockingly most of which Liz’s husband wears unironically in his normal life. L.O.L.In the spirit of adding to our existing lore, we bring you a special corn dog story about a man who buys them simply for the sticks. 😬There’s the usual family barbeque drama (Who stole the meats!?), Fourth of July parties gone awry, two dogs named Jameson and Guinness who apparently don’t mind the noise, and of course… idiot boys making rash decisions (IYKYK). We hope this episode can help you laugh, no matter what you’re up to this Independence Day. And that it helps you to remember that at the end of the day, we aren’t just a people defined by our cooked meats, loud explosions, and large dogs named after beer brands. We’re also a land that allows (probably single) men to buy corndogs in bulk just to gnaw on those crumbly little burnt stick nuggets. Crows bless us, every one! 🌭🦅🍺🥩We bring you all of this plus our top summer reads hopeful on our TBR and smash or pass featuring Joe Dirt, Cousin Eddie, and a Parent Trap baddie.Don't be shy, subscribe!
