A 4th of July special from the astral plane: a gonzo ghost host rewinds the founding, exposing the bloody contradictions behind the Declaration, the Civil War that followed, and how the holiday mutated into today’s fireworks-and-barbecue circus.

Sharp, darkly comic, and historically unvarnished, this episode moves from Philadelphia’s sweaty rooms to Fort Sumter, Reconstruction’s betrayals, and modern backyard mayhem — asking what the holiday really means after 250 years.
