Show Note Special Presentation: Spirit of ‘76This week Host Dave Bledsoe is celebrating 250 years of America by dressing as Uncle Sam and getting piss drunk at a cookout. (It is tradition) On the show this week, we drop in this Special Presentation about the last Big Birthday Blast America put on back in 1976! From Tall Ships to Winnebagos, from fire hydrants to twenty five cents worth of history we explore all the way America celebrated 200 years! Our Sponsor is Numismatics who wants you to check your swear jar before you dump them in Coinstar.  We open with ABC coverage of America’s Big Day and close with John Williams and the Boston Pops.Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common SenseThe Show on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatthehellpodcast.bsky.socialThe Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQThe Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatthehellwereyouthinkingpod/Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kHmmrjptrqOur Website: https://www.whatthehellpodcast.comPatreon:  https://www.patreon.com/WhatthehellpodcastThe Show Line: 347 687 9601Closing Music: https://youtu.be/7t2LGv-iR1Y?si=nHXxCEBfCvxoUBeaBuy Our Stuff: https://www.seltzerkings.com/shopCitations Needed:Your Bicentennial Memories Are Here: The Year of an Unusual Public Art Projecthttps://bicentennialmemoryproject.substack.com/p/1976-bicentennial-fire-hydrantsBicentennial Wagon Trainhttps://www.kophistory.org/bicentennial-wagon-train/MARKETING: Bucks From The Bicentennialhttps://time.com/archive/6847235/marketing-bucks-from-the-bicentennial/Learn more about your ad choices.
