For many Americans, the 4th of July is just another day to get plastered and blow shit up. Like St. Paddy’s Day or Cinco de Mayo... but with explosives. Such is the premise of one of Stephen King’s rare forays into pure comedy—the short story DRUNKEN FIREWORKS.

David discusses the short story while also taking a look at the centuries-long history of fireworks.

But you know what? F*ck fireworks. They hurt animals, they poison our environment, they terrify our pets, and they traumatize our veterans.

This Independence Day, join David in saying f*ck fireworks and God Bless America!
