Influencer Shanisty Ireland joins Jim and John to give some meal ideas for your 4th of July celebration. From things you can easily pick up at the store, to food and snacks you can make in advance, Shanisty shares ways to make the party pop, without killing yourself or ruining the budget. Then Marla Kopecky-Penny with Empower Freedom joins the show to tell us more about the program, knowing that disabilities pose a number of challenges for both the individual and their loved ones.
