    What happens when two country bozos finds their way into the big city? We are finally back in person for this episode to give a review of our visit to The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia (https://www.amrevmuseum.org/). Jon broke the bank and paid an extra $20 ($10 for each of us) to get a "personalized" tour of the exhibit -- which leads up to a literal "through the looking glass"-view of a special piece of canvas that had an intimate relationship with a pretty great dude. Do you think it was up to the Nailing History standard? Listen and find out! Make sure you stay tuned for another "Editor's Note" that almost doubles the duration of our original recording.
