Hosts: Johnny Starr and Ron the Banker

The rack’s been secured, and it’s wired for ignition and ready to launch! Considering most people in the fireworks industry are hyper-stressed in June and July, they tend to relax and smell the potassium nitrate during the holidays.

Enjoy day 2 of this 9-day, 9-shot rack of holiday cheer from Johnny Starr & Ron the Banker.
