**AMERICA, Baby.**

www.aysm.show

Fire up the grill, overuse fireworks, and dump way too much ice in your soda —

It’s **Fourth of July season**, baby! And what better way to celebrate than by questioning all the ridiculous stuff that makes America… *America.*

In this star-spangled episode of *Are You Sh!#ing Me?*, Chuck kicks things off with one of his favorite **Saturday Night Live** sketches: **“Washington’s Dream”** featuring **Nate Bargatze**.

We use it as a jumping-off point to explore the baffling beauty of American life, including:

🍟 Drive-thru overload

💊 Prescription drug ads with *17 horrifying side effects*

💸 Tipping culture (are we tipping the pharmacist now?)

🧊 Our obsession with *ice*

🔪 And of course, the unnecessary “K” in *knife*

Cheers!
