It's a grand old flag, it's a high flying flag... and it deserves better than what we're serving up on this, America's 240th birthday. Which is mostly hot dogs. This week we're breaking out the grill, setting off a barrage of fireworks, and driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile all over this great land of ours! If you're not American, don't worry... We are very bad at staying on topic.

Happy birthday, America!

A big apology this week to all who contributed... We still love you, just maybe not as much as the Wienermobile. Just kidding. (Unless they give us a job.)

This weekend saw an end to the 20 year will-they-won't-they odyssey that has led us to Independence Day: Resurgence. To celebrate this, The Worst Adults are talking through the 1996 classic, the summer blockbuster to end all summer blockbusters!

In this epic commentary we once again drool over Jeff Goldblum, salute the film's supreme patriotism, ask Will Smith to have fun again, dissect alien motivations and 90s computer virus construction, say "DAVID!" a lot, elect President Whitmore as our ultimate movie commander-in-chief, and become very concerned about Vivica A. Fox's priorities.

If there's a movie you'd like us to commentate, let us know!

It's 2016 and everything is fine and there's no problems forever, but every now and then you have things you love that you don't feel comfortable sharing with the world. Well this week The Worst Adults are shaking out the rugs of everyone's guilty pleasures and letting it all hang out!

This week has everything from reality TV to skin peeling to eating delicious garbage food in a hammock - and when a challenge is inadvertently issued the Worst Adults take up the call to arms in a race against time!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode features the sounds of two dudes eating ice cream without editing (for the most realistic mouth sound/dead air experience possible) - if you think that's wicked gross we'll totally agree with you.

First off, yes, that title is a Creed reference. Second, no, we don't regret it. Third, Dr. Elizabeth and Dr. Feelworse are back on the show to celebrate Dr. Feelworse's SECOND Master's degree by digging deep into whether embarking on the quest for post-Bachelor's smarts is worth it! Great source material for goofs, am I right?

This week in particular we have a pretty hefty bonus segment! If you miss the more tangential format our show used to take, you're going to want to become a Patron like right now... Seriously, head over to Patreon and trade money for goofs.

This morning Adam is dropping Matthew off at the airport... which brings up the question of why people hate driving to the airport SO MUCH. Other topics include snapping turtles, The Ring in a world after VHS players, and Google implants. What a delightful way to wrap up the work week!

As always a big thanks to Laura Cooper, Bensound.com, and you the audience. We'll be back Sunday with a proper episode, promise.

Call us John Denver, because we are on the road AGAIN! This episode is a little less focused, but that doesn't mean it's any less funny! On this particular episode, we criticize other drivers, boggle at gas stations and billboards, and develop a ranking system for Jeffs, Jephs, and Geoffs.

Come back Friday for the final Morning Drive (for the time being)!

As always, a big thank you to Laura Cooper for our show's art, Bensound.com for the tunes, and you the listener for listening!

Sometimes the only time you have to record is whole driving to work... And that's exactly what the Worst Adults have been doing. Every so often we try recording our morning conversations in the hopes that something in them would be funny. We were never sure these episodes would see the light of day... Until this week when we needed then. So we hope this experiment works... Because we'll be releasing a few of them throughout this week.

Join us again Wednesday and Friday for new episodes of The Morning Drive!

As always, we'd like to thank Laura Cooper, Bensound.com, and you the listener. We hope you enjoy this slight detour of an episode.

It's the most referenced movie on our show. It's arguably M. Night Shyamalan's best film. It's the quietest superhero movie of all time. And it was about time we got around to talking through this 2000 classic. So get the DVD off the shelf, get comfy, and watch a movie with your best podcasting buddies!

For your convenience, pause the movie right as the lightning bolt illuminates in the Touchstone logo, pause this episode at 3:13, and then hit play simultaneously on both.

If there's a movie you'd like us to commentate, let us know!
