Good morning, U.S.A. ♪
00:08
I got a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day
00:11
The sun in the sky has a smile on his face ♪

And he's shining a salute to the American race
00:20

[[ Chorus ] - Good morning, USA.
00:36
Ah God, that's awful
00:38
Francine, Courteney Cox played a chef on Friends.
00:41
Your cooking is worse than her acting!
00:43
so I saw something today that's really stayed with me.
00:45
After encountering some guys from the football team...
00:48
Toshi and I were looking for my pants in the drainage ditch.
00:50
And then we saw a squirrel get run over.
00:52
[ Gasps ] Oh
00:54
Isn't that the saddest thing you ever heard, Stan? - Eh.
00:58
Stan, a squirrel died today.
01:01
Doesn't that make you feel sad?
01:03
Doesn't that make you feel anything?
01:05
Yeah. Annoyed. Annoyed at the squirrel for jaywalking...
01:08
annoyed at Steve for losing his pants...
01:10
and annoyed at the football player for not being my son!
01:13
Spoiler alert! The sweet potatoes suck.
01:16
How can sweet potatoes not be sweet? Hmm?
01:18
Frannie, how'd you take the sweet out of the potatoes?
01:21
Let's say grace.
01:24
Where's Hayley? - Oh, she went to some rock concert.
01:26
Rock concert?
01:28
Honey, it's just a concert.
01:30
She went to listen to rock music, Francine!
01:33
That's the devil's music! It's the number one cause...
01:35
of teen pregnancy, school violence and leather pants!
01:38
Stan, all you ever feel is anger.
01:41
Why is that the only emotion you can express?
01:43
Because people make me mad all the time for being stupid about everything!
01:47
Now, pass me the—[ Bleeps ] sweet potatoes!
01:55
Stan? It's 1:00 in the morning.
01:58
What are you doing? - I think it's pretty obvious.
02:00
Hayley's still at that concert.
02:02
When she gets home, I'm gonna scare her straight.
02:04
[ Vehicle Pulls Up ] - That's her!

02:26
running around with that lady from the tire shop...
02:28
flipping giant pancakes with a shovel.
02:30
Dad, that's the movie Uncle Buck
02:32
The point is, you're wasting your life.
02:33
Music isn't a waste, Dad. And My Morning Jacket is awesome.
02:37
Your Morning what? - Honey, My Morning Jacket is the name of the band.
02:41
Oh, yeah! I'm a cool mom... who can also hang loose.
02:46
I'm way into peace, which is A-okay.

Okay. Bye. - [ Beeps ]
03:13
How ya doin', honey? - What is Dad's problem with music?
03:16
Well, music makes you feel things...
03:18
and your dad's a bit of an emotional tight-ass, and a literal one.
03:22
Which is why it took half a bottle of ether and salad tongs to get this!
03:27
[ Gasps ] Mom! Ew!
03:29
Awesome! - I also found this.
03:32
It looks like a turd. - Look closer.

03:41
It's... chocolate.
03:43

03:45
So he's been hiding it in the one place he thought I couldn't reach—
03:49
behind the fridge.
03:51
Anyway, have fun at the show rockin' it.
03:54
Oh, Mom, you're the best.
03:55
