Bobby leads the Mountain Dew read with nostalgia, describing lake-side childhood memories with his father and a Mountain Dew in hand. Andrew notes the drink was created by two brothers in the foothills of Tennessee and has been going since 1948, framing it as the perfect America's 250th birthday companion.

Andrew mentions that his friend McCone wore his Quince shirt to the lake all weekend, a relatable endorsement. Both reads flow naturally from the health and lifestyle conversation the hosts are already having.
