0:00.0	Welcome to Fitstock Radio. Exciting day here. We've got Anthony Jesselnick coming up later
0:18.0	in the program right now. We're going to do the introduction. It's the 4th of July.
0:22.8	Well, I guess today is the 5th of July. The day this comes out. I'm recording it on the 3rd of July.
0:30.4	But let's just say happy 4th of July. It's a data-seller. Our country's independence. I know a lot of people
0:36.2	have frustrated. 85% of the country, according to a recent poll, thinks that we are headed in the
0:42.1	wrong direction. So that's Republicans and Democrats together. So it's because the Democrats
0:49.3	think the Republicans are in control and the Republicans think the Democrats are in control.
0:53.4	So nobody's happy. There's nobody's happy. That's why I'm reading the power of now for the

2:04.9	busters. And uh, and then we used to have these wars when I was a kid. When I was a kid, we would like
2:12.2	there was this fence and we would each be on either side of the fence. We'd split up into two groups
2:17.7	and we would throw bottle rockets at each other. Throw like fucking bricks of firecrackers at each
2:23.2	other. Uh, we didn't do the M80s at each other because you could realize I knew a guy. I won't say his
