Speaker 2 (10:57):
You gotta make it a priority.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
You got to go something always somewhere where we can't
shoot fireworks because the place is going to burn up
this time. I really like. We're in Miami, so there's
gotta be something in Miami. It's wet, it's everywhere here,
so I'm sure they will shoot fireworks from on Palm Springs.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's right near our sister's house. I'm going to hang
a place in Palm Springs since where well, actually no,
we're going to be in Los Angeles, and I know
right where we can watch fireworks.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
See, I grew up and I blame it all my grandfather,
my granddaddy and my dad love. We were a fireworks family,
you know, growing up in the country in Mississippi. That's
what you did for New Year's and Fourth of July
and probably Memorial Day and Labor Day. They would have
those fireworks stands, you know, and you could get the
best fireworks because there's no rules, no regulations. You can

(11:43):
blow anything up and you are fine. And it was
so especially the mortars. The mortars are the best, the
ones that just I mean professionals use amazing.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Now. I love it. I love fireworks, and I love
the way they smell, the sparklers when they light the
all of that stuff. It's so fun. But nowadays, especially
in California, we have to go and we have to
go drive someplace to watch fireworks. You can't really like fireworks.
Oh here in Los Angeles, you know, everywhere we look
at it.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
If you look outside our house in Laos like a
war zone.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I know, it's wild. They're completely illegal in Los Angeles
County everywhere everywhere, Like if you are up above the
city at all, crazy cool look Hollywood Hills or whatever. Yeah,
it's really really beautiful.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
So, but I know we have some fan questions that
we were going to do on the show. Give me

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, the truth, because it really does it. You get
the less you care.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
And I wish I would have just believed that when
I was younger and doesn't done what I want.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, I want to agree nothing. It's so crazy because
you I look back at pictures of all of us,
any of us that are older, and you're like, oh
my god, we're so young, we look so good, and
it's like and I was so hard on myself and you're.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Like, oh I look horrible, I'm fat. I'm missing that
in your head and you're like what was I thinking? Like, no, yeah,
you're always will be your biggest critic.

funniest fight in Sync ever had? Okay, I know that's
by the way, that's from Justice for j C. Chase.
I love it. Well.

we have to do the press and we have what
So we had to wake up early, meet up this
hotel room. They're going to have lunch for us or breakfast,
and then we're going to immediately go do the press.
And you know, we're in there, they have our food,
we're eating and Joey's late, you know, so he's not there,
and so Justin is like, well if he's late, going

(14:57):
to you know, so he takes his burger, It takes
a big old bye of him, puts the lid back
on it. Now, that's not that bad of a three.
It's funny, right, Oh No, Joey was not having it
that day. Usually Joey would take a joke, but Joey
must have been real tired because he was like, he
came in and he was so pissed.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Who took a bite of my burger? And no one
would say anything. He's like, who did it?

Speaker 1 (15:18):
He's like, no, I'm gonna wait, We're not going anywhere.
I'm waiting for would anyone leave until another burger? And
then it just gets funny already late. I mean, it's great,
but he put his foot down. He's like, nope, nope,
I don't care. I am waiting for my burger to
get here.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean, it was a manic.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
It was a manic, but it It's one of my
favorite things of seeing joe because Joey doesn't lose his
cool like ever. It was the one time I saw
him him just like really get pissed.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I love that. I love that. And you know he's
trying so hard to like draw a line in the sand,
but everybody's just like, whatever it is, it is so great.

little scared. He was like, oh crap, do I say
