Speaker 1: Smo Joe in the Morning show went to a bunch
Speaker 1: of fireworks. So all the lakes have fireworks for those
Speaker 1: that aren't in the Metro Detroit area, And I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure this has got to be a lot of places,
Speaker 1: because I know some friends of mine that are from
Speaker 1: Buffalo said that they were on their lakes watching fireworks,
Speaker 1: or on the lakes watching fireworks. In Michigan, a lot
Speaker 1: of the lakes have fireworks. So it's been every single
Speaker 1: night of the week there has been one of the
Speaker 1: bodies of water that are in Oakland County has been
Speaker 1: having fireworks. So I was invited to like five or
Speaker 1: six of them. Actually one of them was our good
Speaker 1: friend Neil. So these fireworks are all over the place.
Speaker 1: Chelsea and I decided we were going to go to
Speaker 1: a couple of the fireworks, so went too Orchard l
Speaker 1: Likes Fireworks, went to Union Likes Fireworks. And here's I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you something. Fireworks are fabulous. The only
Speaker 1: problem with fireworks are they are all the same. No
Speaker 1: matter what you're looking at, it's the same. I don't
Speaker 1: care what fireworks display you go to.
Speaker 2: It's like boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom, boom.
Speaker 1: Boom, and then in the end, it's like, like, what
Speaker 1: was the end? What was the end?
Speaker 3: See any fireworks?
Speaker 1: You may be the only person. Yeah, well, we got
Speaker 1: to get you some remnants.
Speaker 2: Of if you know, please no more.
Speaker 4: I got something in the trunk right now. You just
Speaker 4: let me know, Vin, let me know.
Speaker 1: One of the places that we went to, one of
Speaker 1: the parties we went to. There a lot of friends
Speaker 1: that have parties and they invite you over, and it's
Speaker 1: nice because you go. They usually invite you over, like
Speaker 1: you know, six o'clock or so seven o'clock, You have
Speaker 1: some cocktails, they have some food out and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and then fireworks go off at ten oh two and
Speaker 1: by ten thirty five, I am in my tahoe and
Speaker 1: I am going home. Yeah, I'm like ready. Or maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit later. At one of the places where
Speaker 1: Chelsea was like we got to clean up and help
Speaker 1: help people out here, we witnessed at one of the
Speaker 1: fireworks something the most It was kind of the most
Speaker 1: interesting ever. There were a bunch of people there, probably
Speaker 1: like twenty five thirty people in this guy's backyard and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, like five or six people
Speaker 1: pull up at like fifteen minutes before ten o'clock. That
Speaker 1: is nine forty five for anybody that is doing time.
Speaker 1: At nine forty five, they show up, They come, walk
Speaker 1: into the backyard. Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 2: What's going on? It's great?
Speaker 1: Fireworks go off, They get a good spot watching the fireworks, like,
Speaker 1: they find a good spot on the lawn to see them,
Speaker 1: and then ten twenty five or ten thirty they leave.
Speaker 4: You can't do that, that's all they came for.
Speaker 1: Can you come to somebody's fireworks just to watch the
Speaker 1: fireworks or if they're having a party, don't you have
Speaker 1: to like be there like that?
Speaker 2: That's like coming just to eat the food exactly.
Speaker 4: And that's all run, that's all eat and run. That
Speaker 4: sounds like what the invite said, though, come watch the fireworks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the invite was.
Speaker 3: I feel like you gotta at least spend a little
Speaker 3: bit of your time.
Speaker 4: I agree. But if the if the text message saying
Speaker 4: come watch the fireworks, that are that's exactly.
Speaker 2: What I did.
Speaker 1: You know why you say that because you would be
Speaker 1: that guy.
Speaker 4: No I'm not. I'm the guy that brings the fireworks.
Speaker 4: Oh really, absolutely shut out our guy. I was gonna say,
Speaker 4: my guy a pet at exotic. I went to Pat
Speaker 4: My cousin got married this weekend. They had like a
Speaker 4: barbecue the next day. So I went and got some
Speaker 4: fireworks pulled up. I saw that. Yeah, of course I
Speaker 4: saw in your story. Tell I didn't spend a lot.
Speaker 4: I didn't spend crazy. People spend like they spent crazy.
Speaker 4: That's that's why I banged with pack a lot for
Speaker 4: a little. But I went and literally a neighbor next door.
Speaker 2: You can hear that.
Speaker 4: Soon as it pops off, you can see him come
Speaker 4: out of his door. He put the porch light on,
Speaker 4: he stands out, he watches, and as soon as he
Speaker 4: got done, he went.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 5: He was.
Speaker 1: You had a fireworks display. She invited all of us
Speaker 1: to her house. Was your brother that was putting off fireworks?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think my brother started a new tradition. He built
Speaker 5: like this whole fireworks show. He's been working on it
Speaker 5: for like three weeks. Went he went to Ohio to
Speaker 5: get like warehouse fireworks.
Speaker 2: So there were the huge boys.
Speaker 1: The fireworks are different. No, No, that's like old school.
Speaker 1: Before Michigan said that it was okay that fires you
Speaker 1: would go to Ohioah.
Speaker 5: He said, Ohio had like less strict rules. So we
Speaker 5: had this huge display of like they were illegal, like
Speaker 5: we were saying witch closely.
Speaker 3: But they were so huge.
Speaker 5: He was charging my neighbors to like pitch in and next.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 5: He was texting my neighbor as hanm doing this fireworks show.
Speaker 5: If you want to pay me like two hundred dollars
Speaker 5: to chip in because he spent like three thousand dollars
Speaker 5: on these things.
Speaker 4: He went off, so all he's collected.
Speaker 2: Didn't ask him to do that?
Speaker 5: No he didn't, but he's still asking for money. One
Speaker 5: neighbor gave him some money, but the other ones didn't.
Speaker 5: But next year, so I'll still watch.
Speaker 1: Did you let him watch or did you can't him?
Speaker 1: Did you stand in front of them.
Speaker 3: Closer?
Speaker 5: We had some neighbors sin like like we never had
Speaker 5: people outside for fireworks. There was lawn chairs all down
Speaker 5: our street were like, what is going on? But next
Speaker 5: year my brother said, if the neighbors want fireworks, he's
Speaker 5: charging everyone.
Speaker 3: Everybody's can everybody in the same page to say yes,
Speaker 3: we'll tip it.
Speaker 5: I know. He even said people that come to my
Speaker 5: house have to be like a ten dollar cover feeder.
Speaker 1: Here's a question I have to ask, is it is
Speaker 1: it okay if you if somebody's having fireworks you know
Speaker 1: to uh charge them?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: And if they don't pay, are they firework freeloaders? They
Speaker 1: are they getting their firework entertainment for for free?
Speaker 5: Well listen, if you have like the fireworks that you
Speaker 5: get out of those tents that have like a little
Speaker 5: prepackaged box, I feel like that's fine. But my brother
Speaker 5: Loki went out out like he had the blue to
Speaker 5: plywood boards.
Speaker 2: He was serious the garage.
Speaker 5: We all ought to move our cars to the school
Speaker 5: because there was no room for them and.
Speaker 1: Move our carswood boards.

Speaker 5: one day, French came home from working.
Speaker 3: This is all in the garage.
Speaker 4: She's like sixty boxes.
Speaker 3: Maybe no, maybe it wasn't Ohio.
Speaker 5: I think it was like Jackson, Michigan.
Speaker 1: Maybe, Okay, so Jackson Michigan is a little different than Ohio,
Speaker 1: but other direction.
Speaker 5: But his friends went to Ohio. But he was like
Speaker 5: calling up all of his friends. He said, you guys
Speaker 5: need to come to my house now pick up all
Speaker 5: the fightworks. I'm not picking it up. I put on
Speaker 5: the show.

Speaker 5: For the year.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that when
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there at these fireworks and I'm watching these things,
Speaker 1: I looked at Chelsea at one point, like Chelsea and
Speaker 1: I took it. I said, let me take a picture
Speaker 1: one time. And one time we shook a picture and
Speaker 1: one of them looked like a heart behind us, and
Speaker 1: I said to her, that's a heart. She goes, that
Speaker 1: is not a heart. I'm like, how is that not
Speaker 1: a heart. It looks like the shape of a heart.
Speaker 1: And she's like, no, I look at shapes of these
Speaker 1: things and it's like a rorshack test. I was literally
Speaker 1: about to say, I think that they're like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: a snowman, you know what I mean? Like I look
Speaker 1: at oh that's a star and stuff, and she says,
Speaker 1: some of them aren't do do that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or different colors they say things?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, sometimes I just think what if they just
Speaker 5: came out to formed, like it was a mess up
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You're creative, and.
Speaker 1: Then if you're like your brother or keV lighting him off,
Speaker 1: you don't see shapes because you're running your axe.
Speaker 4: Get out the world.
Speaker 5: Look at my neighbor. He was just chilling here and
Speaker 5: like all these fireworks are going on around him. He's
Speaker 5: just chilling in the middle.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 2: My favorite video was I saw weymo.
Speaker 6: Someone was taking a Weimo down the street and it
Speaker 6: didn't know that the fireworks were going off, and they.
Speaker 2: Drove over the fireworks.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, they were like, we thought we were going down.
Speaker 5: We set up traffic cone so we blocked off our
Speaker 5: streets so cars couldn't drive on our Street like the
Speaker 5: night before.
Speaker 1: In New York City, the I think the Brooklyn Bridge
Speaker 1: caught fire. Did you see that?
Speaker 5: Saw?
Speaker 1: That that was like the big they had the big
Speaker 1: fireworks in it in the top of the bridge actually
Speaker 1: caught on fire from the fireworks hitting.
Speaker 4: After they won a championship? Can withstand anything?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I don't get this. They say the
Speaker 1: DC fireworks this year were over an hour long. Who
Speaker 1: wants an over an hour long fireworks? Yeah?

Speaker 7: So my brother in law we just bought five acres
Speaker 7: at the beginning of the year, so of course we
Speaker 7: had to have fireworks out at our property, and he
Speaker 7: spent about thirty five hundred dollars on fireworks. So me
Speaker 7: and my husband are cleaning up the next morning, which
Speaker 7: I did not realize how much of a mess it makes.
Speaker 7: And I took a break and I'm at the front
Speaker 7: of the property and my husband's bringing all the cardboard
Speaker 7: boxes on the back, and then I hear fireworks going off,
Speaker 7: and I was like, did you know that was going
Speaker 7: to happen?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wait a second. So a full day later,
Speaker 1: the fireworks are still blowing off.
Speaker 2: They're still like, yeah, one of the boxes.
Speaker 7: They didn't all go off, so he was throwing in
Speaker 7: the cardboard boxes and then some start going off.
Speaker 3: Scar he didn't get hurt.
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy. I know people that throw it
Speaker 1: in their garbage cans in their garage, Like they'll throw
Speaker 1: the crap in there. And imagine if at night that
Speaker 1: happens in your house, lights on fire. That's why I
Speaker 1: gotta pour water on it.
Speaker 3: That happened to, by the way, burn the whole side
Speaker 3: of their house really off of the fireworks.
Speaker 1: Marie, I have a very interesting question to ask you,
Speaker 1: And my question is, what the hell are you not
Speaker 1: making everybody else clean up the fireworks like keV does
Speaker 1: right after the fireworks, Like, why are you guys the
Speaker 1: homeowners the only ones doing that?
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't have.
Speaker 7: To pay for them, so I didn't mind cleaning it up.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, they were freebe fireworks that came away.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for the call. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that you guys didn't get hurt though. Cleaning the fireworks
Speaker 1: up the full day later. That's craziness. Mojo in the morning, Tony,

Speaker 9: sit there and we enjoy the Fourth of July light
Speaker 9: off fireworks. So we had mortars, the two inch mortars
Speaker 9: that go up in the sky and blow up, and
Speaker 9: so we're all having fun and you know, we're enjoying everything.
Speaker 9: So for clean up, everybody takes all the garbage at
Speaker 9: the end and we throw them in a bonfire, you know,
Speaker 9: to burn it off. Well, accidentally, my wife she grabs
Speaker 9: a twelve pack of mortars, even though that they were
Speaker 9: still new in the box. Afire.
Speaker 1: Oh, my god, how close were you guys to the
Speaker 1: bonfire when that thing went off.
