DISCLAIMER: THIS BONUS EPISODE IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS FOR THE FILM, “SINNERS,” SO DO NOT LISTEN TO IT BEFORE SEEING THE FILM.

The 'US-Americans desperate to be seen as Italian' thing is really overdone on this episode. It's always cringe - you're not Italian, regardless of where one of your great grandparents were originally born. Just like plastic paddies are not Irish. You're not special for having ancestors from a European country. Real Europeans find Americans who do this so cringey as fuck. You don't have to shoehorn how 'Italian' Ed is (LOL) into every episode that mentions anything or any one remotely Italian.

I have two fireworks stories. They both took place in or near Hanau, West Germany in 1986 and 1987. Christmas 1986: My buddies and I had purchased holiday fireworks and were participating in the German tradition of shooting or throwing at each other. I had my store of munitions in a messenger bag that was mostly zipped closed when a roman candle ball hit the exhaust port of my death star... the bag didn't explode, but everything inside did. I was able to remove the bag and throw it away.
