As the sun set on Labor Day weekend, the chatty crew at a conservative news channel sat around to reflect on their summer jobs, holiday mishaps, and a social game or two. Greg Gutfeld, ever the king of quips, kicked off the evening with a hearty welcome, leaving no room for silence as he humorously pondered why Democrats seem to have a despising relationship with the core of American values. Amongst laughter and jests about Jesse Watters’ peculiar habits, the conversation veered towards nostalgia, with everyone eager to share their best (or most interesting) summer jobs from their teenage years.
Kennedy opened the floodgates by recounting her early foray into the music scene in Portland. Working for a local music manager, she quickly found herself enjoying free access to rock shows. It seems her venture into the world of music was not just a job, but a rite of passage filled with groovy tunes and youthful freedom. Meanwhile, Jesse Watters chimed in with tales of his own summer adventure at the New York Stock Exchange, where he darted about like a caffeinated squirrel, making sure the cameras were set to capture the financial action. The excitement of working among big names like Maria Bartiromo sure seemed to leave a lasting impact on him, and he still carried that energy with him to this day.
Then there was Dana Perino, who laced her story with heartwarming nostalgia. She recalled working at an insurance company, all the while being ferried to and from work by her father, who happened to work nearby. Their daily lunch dates became a cherished ritual, offering a glimpse into family life and the joys of working one’s way through summer—all while being lovingly nudged by a parent. Meanwhile, another panelist recounted an amusing experience as a “pool monitor,” where the only rule he was given was to avoid actually saving anyone—truly a unique take on lifeguarding!
Moving on from the workplace to the backyard, the conversation got even spicier when they shifted gears to holiday barbecues gone wrong. Jesse Waters nearly sparked a disaster of his own when he ran out of propane mid-cookout. Luckily, his quick thinking sent his wife on a propane-fetching mission. In another tale, a barbecue turned comedic disaster featured someone who unwittingly attempted to grill with an illegal amount of propane in hand, leading to humorous consequences. You might say these daring escapades during gatherings served as a light-hearted reminder of the boldness found in barbecuing!
As the humorous tales continued to flow like the delicious drinks from their barbecues, a discussion about childhood outdoor games popped up. Tetherball and lawn darts, once staples of every summer afternoon, seemed to evoke a collective nostalgia. One panelist humorously recalled a mishap involving lawn darts that led to a rather unfortunate incident for an uncle, proving once again that every game has its risks! There was something invigorating about these memories—it showed the way childhood play has shifted over the years, yet how those carefree moments remain a cherished part of growing up.
In the end, the laughter and camaraderie of the evening spoke volumes. Whether discussing the serious matters of the day or amusing little anecdotes from their younger days, the crew on this conservative news channel brought forth a delightful mix of humor and reflection, embodying the spirit of American life. They may have poked fun at each other, shared wild stories, and reminisced over simpler times, but above all, they shared a bond that conveyed a sense of pride in their heritage and values. As summer made way for fall, the sense of community, laughter, and a little bit of chaos remained central, making it a fitting way to wrap up the holiday weekend.
