Plus the crew adds up the price tag on Taylor and Travis Swift's thirty million dollar wedding.

Hump day on Hot Mornings brings a democracy that's rigged from the start. A homemade remix cooked up in the lab overnight goes up for a listener vote, original versus the new version.

Saunas, tailored clothes, nine dollar wine that tastes like a million bucks, and cheesecake slices the size of your head.

Taylor and Travis tied the knot, and this recap can't stop chewing on it. Adam Sandler officiated, Paul McCartney sang, and the vows got read off hundred-thousand-dollar gold books. There's also a rapid-fire round of real firework names, where Control Alt Kaboom and Psycho Peacock somehow made the list. Then things take a turn when the news drops that a daily hot dog could mean an eighteen percent bump in colorectal cancer, so Joey Chestnut, stay safe out there.

The gang's still nursing that America's 250th birthday hangover, and they're not sure what to do with their hands now that the fireworks have faded.
