America 250 week kicked off with Joey and Nancy talking about the country's 250th birthday and reflecting on some surprising moments from early American history. Nancy also confessed to accidentally running over a squirrel while driving the WIVK truck to a Community Crew event at Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding.
The crew recapped volunteering at Shangri-La, where they helped with chores around the property. Joey and Marvin ended up cleaning horse pens with pitchforks while others opted for less messy jobs like pulling weeds.
Joey shared an update on his son's garden after they harvested their first homegrown cucumbers. The conversation turned into a preview of the upcoming Southern Life Expo, including Kid Boss booths, local vendors, food, and Christmas in July activities.

Nancy shared a dream-inspired invention: smart glasses that would recognize people and remind you how you know them before they walk up and start talking to you.
A discussion about the upcoming America 250 celebration led Joey into sharing some fascinating Revolutionary War history he learned from a documentary, including why he unexpectedly found himself feeling a little sympathy for the British perspective.
