You can feel some kind of way about patriotism these days. Yesterday was tough.

Don't have to worry about a Team USA game on TV. It was tough and it wasn't Greg Berhalter that kind of soured me on the idea of being patriotic yesterday. But I'm going to rally, I'm going to Chicago, surrounding myself with NASCAR, that's as American, a Fourth of July weekend as one can possibly have. But usually when I stay down here,

I do the fireworks and all that, I have Miller line in my hand, I'm making a Miller time, and I put on my Fourth of July playlist to just supplement the entire thing. It's something that I've crafted over several years and I'm very proud of, I have a Fourth of July playlist. Send me that entire thing. It's something that I've crafted over several years and I'm very proud of. I have a 4th of July playlist. Send me that bad boy.

I just did it You know what the image is it's of John Cena announcing to an arena that we have

killed Osama bin Laden Compromised to a permanent end. I believe is what he said No, the songs in there are great. We've got a lot of things titled American, which are great We've got firework by Katy Perry. That's a people's life on that as a perfect fourth of July so we've got the Star Spangled Banner a couple times in different renditions who's renditions obviously Jimmy's number one okay what else you've got like a more conventional big band that plays a United States president on stage I always like the idea of fireworks going off and you have, you know,

ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. What about Whitney? Do you have the Whitney Houston national anthem? I don't think the Whitney version is available. Elaine's Morissette? Yeah. Elaine's Morissette? But there's a lot of like, there's.

I am him. There's. The Marvin Gaye? There's a lot of like sneaky tracks too that you wouldn't necessarily, that don't have America in the name, like Aretha has Think. And you're like, what does Aretha Think

show up in the Fourth of July playlist? Well, glad you asked. Glad you asked. She screams freedom for about half the song. Hell yeah. And it's a goosebump moment. Philadelphia Freedom, another great one by Elton John. We also have, I believe, Rick Derringer's Hulk Hogan theme,

a real American. That's a must in there. It's like American, and you just got paid. That's not, she's Canadian. And who woulda thought. You got the theme from The Greatest American Hero, you have a country song that features Pitbull that's called USA. Do you have My President is Black black I should add that actually yeah, I should add that

You know In their juvenile yeah freedom from George Michael you think back that ass up belongs in there It's Americanos that oh best. Do you have do you have a team America world police? So this one is more family friendly, because I'm usually playing around kids. What about Party in the USA? That's actually the first song. Thank goodness.

That's actually the first song, yeah. First song in there. Do you have to play it in this order, or just random? No, no, no, I shuffle it. No, it's made for shuffle. Made for shuffle. Hale to the Chief is on there. No, come on.

Is this like an outdoor, like this is like a beach thing, or like a barbecue thing? It's a one plug and play. It's a barbecue thing The fourth you get it. Okay, you need an after hours one so you could play Yeah, freedom is in free it costs a hefty And if you don't put in your buck oh five who will? Buck oh five what Michael freedom 99. What do you need like to qualify for this? So like chicken fried in the middle. We just give a shout out to the good American song. I think that

Qualified yes Anything with true if you're putting a boot in anyone's ass. Oh, yeah That's a big dog rest in peace by the way a boot in anybody's ass here, but pink houses by John Mellencamp There's a lot of things like for example Chicago in the park. I'm actually literally doing this. Saturday in the park I think it was the 4th of July by Chicago. That's a super American 4th of July song. So you tap into fireworks, you tap into America, you tap into summer because that's what's so great about 4th of July. It is like in the middle of the summer,

you're grilling outside, that feels like America. The fireworks. What's the other one with a? Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I proudly stand up next to you defenders today brought to the land

ain't no doubt of this land God bless the USA and essentially make the president a king with impunity and he can do anything he wants now basically and maybe Joe Biden won't take advantage of it but the other guy certainly will.
