Kabbooms.
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Wow.
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break Free for something Special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
In the a Everywhere back in the podcast Dojo. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. As you were locked in on this eleventh day of November, a happy Saturday, a college football Saturday. As we're actually at the time of the year, Danny, we're starting to wind down the college football season a little bit. It's gonna be the bowl season before you know it, which is really just an opportunity for holiday programming for ESPN.
They have so many bowl games and most of them are just so they have something to show over the holidays.
The only thing they're good for.
Yeah, yeah, any point from the bowl games start right around Thanksgiving, right a little after Thanksgiving, like the week after Thanksgiving, first week of December, and they go all the way till till early January, and there's like pretty much every night or every other night, there's some kind of a bowl game on this podcast. Though it being Saturday, we're hanging out here. We thank you for being with
us and hanging out. Obviously, I do the overnight show during the week and come in here and do the podcast on the weekends, and Danny's on with Covino and Rich during the week, and I want.
To thank you.
Last week was crazy. We got at the car wash f phase, back scratcher phrase of the week. That's a new bit, Danny Frase of the week. Times two and Pop goes the culture. But we start with this a first for the Fifth Hour podcast. We had two pods last Friday, well not yesterday, but last Friday last week. We did the morning one, which was like ten eleven, twelve minutes something like that, and then we joined sixteen minutes.
We really outdid ourselves.
Oh yeah, we only needed to do ten. We did an extra six minutes of content. But then we met up, we formed Voltron and hung out at the iconic Santa Anita Racetrack. You were there all day. I got there late in the day and got there the last last couple hours of the racing before they shut down the racing for the day at the Breeders' Cup. But it was great. I thought the pod went very well. We're not horse racing guys, Danny. I go to the track every once in a while, but I'm not a hard
old horse racing guy. And I thought, all things considered, you know, our guy was pretty good. I thought it was entertaining. I don't know, but it's up to you, the listener. I thought, all things consider, it went pretty well.
No, it's fine. I think that both shows that I'm on took the right angle, which was, Hey, we do kind of like to gamble here and there. We don't know anything about horses, so explain to us rather than pretending like you're an expert all of a sudden just because you're there. Yeah.
Well that's what one of my mentors, Lee Hacksaw. Hamilton would have to be an expert at everything. I love Hacksaw, but he would have to be like an expert at everything. But yeah, just you know, have a good time. And I love the vibe we talked about on the podcast
last week. Walking around you see people all dulled up, all dressed up ready to go right, and then you see other people slubs exactly, total slubs, probably haven't showered in a couple of months, and they're there for the slim chance, the remote possibility that they the you know, the trifecta, and they nail it, they slay the dragon and they achieve the impossible, to fight the odds and win a ton of money. And it's it's just funny because you walk around there and as you know, they
got that vibe. You got the guys that are looking at the daily racing form and they're just like all over it. And then you've got other people. They seem like a lot of people they didn't even bet. They were just kind of hanging out. They were just like, you know, I have a good time, have some drinks or some food. Here I can knock it out. So always fun, always fun to go to the track and hang yeah.
And I look up and you're live on AM five seventy as a guest on Petros and Money.
Well, I have not seen Petros. Me and Petrols go way back there. I had not seen Petros. I don't see it. I sometimes fill in with Fred Rogan on the local station in La AM five seventy, which is the flagship of Fox Sports Radio in LA and so I'll fill in with Fred, but I'm usually remote, I'm not in the studio, and I have not seen I had not seen Petros probably since before the pandemic, so at least and probably a couple of years before that. So it's been it's been a fair amount of time,
and so it was great to catch up. I actually, fun fact, Danny, when I was doing local local radio in LA in the nineties, Petros was a full back. He was a pullback for the University of Southern California. We had him on as a guest. He was a guest on the Ben and Dave show that I did.
Could you guys tell that he was going to be in radio or in broadcasting?
Well, we thought he would do something because he had He definitely had the gift for gab. You know, he had the genesee quah, but we weren't sure. USC made sure that he did a lot of interviews. They always he was the go to guy. He was kind of the de facto sport spokesperson. And not that they had great teams when he was there.
They didn't.
They were not particularly dominant when Petro's played there, but he the peat. It was great to see him, and we had a similar mantra. We were talking about the business a little bit and schmoozing, and then I went on with him and Bill Plashy had seen Bill, good old Bill who always throws it down. Disagree with about ninety five percent of what Bill says, but I like him. We get along, and so it was good to see him. He was there. Money was away with the Chargers. Who
does the show? Petros some money, but money was away in New York. So yeah, that was the thing. I was at the car wash, so I did not expect that either day. So we did the interview. The way it was set up, it was like being at the super Bowl, but only with iHeartMedia. It was like I didn't see anybody that it was all our There's a whole of radio and podcasting set up on.
It was iHeartRadio Row.
Yeah, it was. It was iHeartRadio. So we had a podcast booth which we were in. The next booth over was our local station, A five seventy that was Petros, and then the next booth over was you guys, Covino and Rich and then Rob Parker did his show from there, and then the one that I did not know was the Conway Show, our guy Tim Conway from KFI. I know Tim a little bit. I didn't seen Tim in a long time. I didn't even know he was there,
and I ended up going on KFI. I did a hit on KFI for which is the number one news station. That's news talk, Danny, that's serious, KFI, more stimulating.
What did he ask you about when you were on that station?
No, it was funny. So Conway is a really hard, oh gambler when it comes to horsing, like horse racing, like you know, I'm not that into it, but he really is into it, Like he went Tim Conway is the son of the more famous His dad, Tim Conway was a huge star in the seventies in the eighties, and so Tim would go out That was like how they bonded. He and his dad would go to the track and they'd go to Santa Nita and they used to be Hollywood Park and they just knocked themselves out
and amble and the whole thing. I think sant Anita was the go to. So Tim goes out there, so I'm doing you know, he was asking me about the TV show, so he wanted me to promote the TV show. So I went on there and we you know, just shot the you know what. I did a segment. It was cool. It was like top of the hour. But the funny thing was that Tim Tim Conway was so
into the races. There was a race that was happening as I was talking and Tim I'm talking, he stands up and starts walking so he can get a better view of the TV because he wanted he had the number three horse, you know, he had to he had. Yeah, that that played out, so so yeah, I ended up doing our podcast. They did the petrol some money thing. I also went on with Tim Conway and they call that the car wash. I was not planning on doing
the cars. I was planning and getting out of there and going and looking at some of the races and then we had We ended up having dinner kind of in that area right around there. So it was a fun, fun little trip, had a good time. And nobody nobody said hey, your f face. Nobody said that to me. Nobody got in my face and said that. They were nice.
Yeah, when you walked in, you were popular. You were mister popular. Everybody wanted you to do a hit off the Raio station. It was great because you're a TV guy now.
I guess so maybe I don't know, But then then I ran in Danny too. There were some listeners that came up to me and said they were fans of the podcast and the show and all that. That was cool.
Oh, that's very cool. Yeah, because there were there was a group of AM five seventy listeners that were there gathered around Petros's booth, so I thought there'd probably be some some mixing.
Yeah, yeah, there was a There were a couple of people that came up to me, which was cool. They were like, they're a big fan, you know, and they were they were very nice and so that was it was great to meet him. So I appreciate that, Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, you mentioned, uh, you mentioned f face a couple of days ago. I'm sitting at my desk at the campus and super windy outside. But they always blast the heater in these classrooms and they have those things over the temperature gauge the lock box.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hate those things because I want to be in control of what the temperature is in the room, not the custodian or the vice principal or whoever the hell sets that. Yeah, they're blasting the heater in the classrooms in the morning. So I opened up the window next to my desk, and what was outside of my classroom.
Take a guess, A donkey. They're a live donkey outside. I want a camel.
I might as well have been. The way these kids were talking. Oh oh oh, it was a little group of seventh grade boys. And now I say seventh grade because they see seemed like they were trying to be cool like not nerds or little like sixth graders. But I could tell that they weren't mature like the eighth graders. So I'm guessing, Ben with malord math, that they were seventh graders.
Makes perfect sense, because that's a very annoying age when you're in seventh grade. Seventh and eighth grade very annoying.
Yeah, especially seventh graders. I mean, usually the sixth graders are too shy to get into a lot of trouble. The eighth graders have already been there and done that. The seventh graders are usually the ones that pop off and talk back.
Okay, so they're they're they're they're the schmucks.
Not all of them, but that's kind of how the charge.
It's not a picnic with these guys, right, you know, they're you know, they're throwing food.
This is the conversation I hear and I had to like do a double take. And this is when when I glanced out the window. They have no idea that somebody, an adult is on the other side of the window that they're standing outside of.
Not a cannon microphone, but might as.
Well bit exactly. The one says to the other, quit it, quit it, you fuck face. So it gets my attention because it's you know, whenever you hear a kid drop the F bomb, you're like, okay, here we go, blank my blank and blank you. Now the next kid says, fuck you, you're a fuck face. I'm like, boy, let me get my F bomb counter out because now it was on I'm minding. Third kid chimes in, he's like, hell,
you guys better be quiet. I see a campus supervisor over there, and they both said shut up, fuck face, because he was telling them they were going to get in trouble. So yeah, this was like our old thing with pencil neck ray. You know, we used to count how many times he'd say pencil neck.
Like pencilnck, pencil necks.
Campus supervisor did come walking up towards them and he's like, see, I told you you're the fuck face. And she walks up to them, She's like, what are you guys doing over here? And they're like nothing and then they walked away. Hey, it was awesome though, because I haven't heard that many bombs since a certain podcast that I listened to sometimes, but on a middle school campus that was a treat.
The seventh graders in their own habitat, there, their own domain, and they think that there's no one, no one that can hear them, right, And it's like, yeah, they're going for that, you know, all the bad words, and they are They're ready, they are ready.
Are blank by blank and blank you blankny.
Blank blank blank bank by man. All right, Yah, we have backscratcher or do we have backscratcher? Last week we set a current record for this year for the most reviews on the Apple podcast page. So, Danny, this week, were we getting three? Did we get three reviews? One review or no reviews?
Man?
I was wrong on this last time. I'm gonna say three.
Three awesome you're you're mister positive over there.
I'm the opposite of who are you saying? Does negative radio?
Well? Everyone does negative radio.
That's what the opposite of that, damn it.
Okay, all right, so you're not stammering, you're not cautious, you're not hesitant, You're you're you're like, hey, we finally broke through. We crossed the rubicon, and we have been able to figure out how to get people every week to not give us a charcuterie board, but to just give us a nice review. Survey says zilch, we got zilch. We got bumpus this week, which is disappointing. But there's new opportunities. You can do it right now, you can do it later. You can do it. You'll probably forget
if you do it later. But the Apple podcast page podcast dot Apple dot com, or just on your phone Apple podcast page and the fifth Hour No.
Yeah, you can just click on the link that's in the description of this show right here.
Yeah, So just do that. That's the easiest way to do it.
And unless you have an Android phone, then you're just you know, then you're you're screwed.
And they do that intentionally, right, the Apple people, they think their phone's better, so they don't want you to have the same joy that the Apple users have, and so.
They don't think it's better. They know it's better. It's way better. Alien technology.
Have big eyes.
Yeah.
No, I'm an iPhone guy. And the one thing about the phones is it's such a pain in the ass to go from like an iPhone iPhone to an Android. Once you go Android, you don't go iPhone. Once you go iPhone, you don't go Android because you'll lose all your music, you lose all everything.
The Android users who finally switch to Apple, they kick themselves. They're like, why didn't I do that sooner? My WIFEI she was like that right before we met. She said she had an Android. She got her first iPhone right before we started dating, and she said it was like, holy crap, why didn't I do this sooner?
Yeah, it's it's pretty cool. But also, like to me, with computers, I don't work. We have PCs at work, but suck terrible. The Apple laptop a laptop is the way to go.
Oh if there were Apple computers at our job, my job would be so much smoother because I'm constantly dealing with that wheel that pops up and spins and yeah, and shit crashing, stalling out and freezing. And my laptop, my Apple laptop. It never does that ever, never, ever. If we had Apple products at work, oh, I bet you that would save me an hour of to day.
Oh, I'll be wonderful. And they generally are better products, they last longer, there's not as much circling wheels on them. It's just ridiculous. It's such a as al Michaels say, farcical situation because these computers they have to update like every day or every other day. And when do you think they program these computers to update, Danny, When do you think the automatic update is? Uh?
Oh right when you're on the air.
Yes, to absolutely destroy what I'm doing. It's like a nightly rebellion against what I'm trying to accomplish. You can really cock it up. At first, I thought it was kind of cute. I thought it was fine, you know whatever, But every single night.
Why do these PCs need to update so often?
I agree, it's so stupid. Everything in moderation, even updating your stupid software. Okay, and if your software sucks that much, why not get somebody hire somebody that can make software, program software where you don't have to update it three times or four times a week. It makes me nauseous. I'm nauseating thinking about it. It's so stupid, always in the overnight. No. I actually tried to change that. I thought it would be funny when Cowhord's on, I could
somehow do it. He's not even there anyway, he wouldn't care. So I tried to do it, and I got to the final page on the setup. So I'm like, Okay, this is great. I'm gonna get back at these guys. I'm gonna have it go at a different time when one of the big shows is on and they'd all be mesmerized and hypnotized and all that. They'd be like, oh man, I can't believe. So I got to the final page and then I needed a password I didn't have, and it ruled the whole thing. I was like, so close.
I needed a final password and then I would in and I couldn't get the final password because it was one of the engineering guys and I don't know him. It wasn't it wasn't our guy, curious, it was somebody else and was it? Is it? Fred is that the yeah Fred.
That PC said in your face? Malor said in.
Your face, Ha, I'm Fred. No, no, no, no, no, no no. Uh so, but yeah, that's really a pain in the in the behind. But you know what is not a pain in the behind. That would be the priraise of the day times to the praise.
Of the day. Oh oh you said day again?
Oh I said. Phrase of the week of the week, Daddy.
Take three the phrase of the week.
All right, take three, take four? Whatever. Now this is by request, by request, today's Saturday's phrase of the week. It is dollars to donuts. Dollars to donuts. And I've used this a few times.
Over the years. Yeah, I was gonna say, I've heard you use this one.
Yeah, this is in my lexicon, and it means that an outcome that is almost assured is that you say dollars to donas. It's it's guaranteed, right, it's a certainty. Like if you go to an NBA game, a star player is going to complain that they got fouled and you didn't call some kind of hissy fit. You to an NFL game, someone's gonna get hurt. Go to a baseball game, someone's going to hit the ball to the second basement of the shortstop or hit a fly ball.
There's certain things that are certain in life. And in additioning the history of the word dollars to donors, the phrase it's similar to dollars to buttons, which is a phrase I'm not I'm not familiar with, and dollars to cobwebs, and those phrases date back to eighteen eighty four and nineteen oh four, so we're going way back in the uptime machine. It's an American phrase dollars to donuts, and it is used as donuts rather than the actual notation donuts. So there's a as opposed to do and uts as
opposed to do U g H. N uts. Now, in the earlier days, the legend goes that the dollar was worth more back back before the United States government ruined the value of the dollar, when it actually meant something and it had you know, cachet, and you had the gold at Fort Knox and all that. The phrase in those days, a dollar was worth more than it is now, and a donut costs considerably less compared to the dollar.
The value of the dollar you can get a donut was like five cents or three cents or something like that. So someone who was reasonably sure that an event would happen would bet and say, hey, I'll bet dollars to donuts, and that's just to prove, Hey, I am so confident that that horse is gonna win the race that I'm willing to bet a dollar for your donut, which is worth nothing.
So these okay, now that makes sense now.
So the phrase all the way dollars to donute. Now these days, dollars to donuts does not really apply because you you can get like one donut for a dollar if you're lucky. You know what I'm saying, right, Dan, And these things are still depending on what donut shop you know. To these designer donut shops, it'll cost you a fair amount of money.
Dude. The last time I brought a dozen donuts in Covino and Rich were filling in for the Dan Patrick Show. I get inside the donut place, I picked the donuts and she rings me up and she's like, there'll be nineteen dollars and ninety six cents. I know, I just got one dozen, not too, let's do it.
I used to love going to Donut King. They have the tigertail donut, which is the size of your forearm. Strawberry Donuts, if that's your jam. Southern California place called the Donut Donut King. They actually have two locations, one in downtown LA if it's still open, and they have one out in the San Gabriel Valley. And used to go there all the time and loved it, and they were open twenty four hours. Nothing better than a fresh donut.
I got to stop you right there. I haven't had sugar in two weeks.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah?
Why?
I was having like a dry mouth situation during the overnight and I read that that is a warning sign.
Oh you're worried about like diabetes or.
Something, Yeah, like pre diabetes, diabetes.
How did you self, did you, doctor Danny G determine this on your own, not have any of like blood test done or anything like that.
Oh no, I do have a doctor's appointment coming up at the end of the month. Yeah, but I used the genie I'm a doctor school of medicine where I went online and looked at the warning signs and that's one of them, and I'm like, holy shit, And it says to immediately drop ten pounds cut out sugar. So for two weeks now, Ben, I have been under my
calorie allotment per day, and I cut out most sugar. So, you know, if it's something healthy that I'm eating and there's a little bit of sugar in it, or natural sugar from a fruit, that's cool. But as far as a dessert or sweets or anything like that, haven't had it in two weeks. And You're sitting here talking about donuts and I'm like.
Well, how about I didn't know, no, But I like that you're doing that because if you remember, and I don't know if you were with me on the podcast or not, but a couple years ago, it's been several years now. At time, all just kind of morphs together. It's just like a big ball of stuff, you know, it's all together. I don't know, but it was a few years ago. It was around Halloween, so it was around this time of the year, little after Halloween, and I started having these dizzy spells.
Oh I remember that.
Yeah, Like I was like, I get out of bed and I was all dizzy and lightheaded, and my brain was like foggy, and it was really bad for a couple of days, and I was like, oh crap. And so I was like, I was convinced I was diabetic because, like you, I went online and I looked at all this stuff, and of course you look online. Whatever symptoms you have, you're going to die. I'm not going to live. There's no chance. You're done. That's it, it's over. And
so I'm like, oh crap. So I went and I had some blood work done, and it turns out that I actually was in really I didn't have diabetes, and and I what had happened was I after Halloween, we went and bought a couple of big bags of candy for the kids, and we had hardly any trick or treaters that year. So who do you think ate most of the candy?
Oh? You overdose? That's right. I remember you talking about how you completely overdosed with that huge bag.
And I hadn't eaten a lot of candy up until then because I'm doing I was doing the fasting stuff, and my body like like gott into shock mode.
You spiked your blood sugar?
Did I did? And so that was that was the problem. But fortunately, I was like so relieved because I was like, oh crap, man, everything I love had sugar in it.
Oh, you know, and I'm sure a lot of our listeners have gone to web md and had little situations like this where it's a little bit of a slap in the face, a little bit of a wake up call. And even if I don't have the other symptoms yet, but I don't want to get the other symptoms, especially having a newborn. Got to be around for the kids. So you'll be happy to hear in the past two weeks, I have lost five pounds.
Five pounds, guys, good job by you. There you go now if you want to join my cult, I do have a space open on the on the inter Minute Fasting Bandwagon if you want. But it does you know, it's worked for me. It's not for everybody. But this reminds me of that old adage and ounce of was it? Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Have you you've heard that, right?
I've heard that.
Yeah, it's an old old wives tale or whatever back in the day, but it's true. If you can prevent something from happening, it's it's much easier than having to deal with, you know, the the shots and all that it comes. If you can avoid it, you might as well. I need to go for it, right.
But yeah, the only needle going into my skin is for tattoos.
Yeah. Last time I put a few more pounds on it was because of my addiction to lemonade and drinks that were just I was drinking like two hundred three hundred calories of empty calories and juice, and so I cut the juice out, went back to just water. Now I did my compromise. And I don't know if this is good for you or not. It's probably not. But there's this thing called crystal Light. Have you ever had that? Oh?
Yeah, the packets, yeah, that you add to water. Yeah.
And I found a couple of flavors of that I really like. And so it's only like ten or fifteen calories. There's no sugar in it. And so I have completely cut out almost all like juice. I don't I just I'll have a kid on the weekends, you know, sometimes I'll have a Crystal Light pack because that's nothing ten
fifteen calories. You can burn that off, no problem, as opposed to drinking three glasses of lemonade and Hawaiian punch and grape juice and cranberry juice and any other kind of juice I could get my hands on, which pisses me off because it reminds me that knucklehead Tom Looney when I did the show with him, and I used to drink orange juice. I loved orange juice. On the Blitz.
We get way to get there early in the morning, so I'd walk in with orange juice and Looney would give me this lecture, eat the orange, don't drink the juice, and I said, fuck you, is what I said. Then I drank the juice, and now here these years later, I am not drinking the juice.
No juice.
Let's do a little bit of pop goes the Culture. What do you say you ready?
Yeah, let's bring in our boy. Ohio ow John john.
All right, thank you, Ohio. Wel pop goes the culture. These are stories from the pop culture world and Dwayne the Rock Johnson this week revealed that he has been approached by multiple political parties. Well, I wonder those could be. There's really only two in America, both parties, we assume. He didn't say for sure, but he was contacted about running for president and he's been His name's come up in the past and that's one way to have half the country hate you is to run for president. And
he did not say that he was into it. Sounds like he's not. But there's a guy that could get elected president pretty easy. I would think he would, depending I don't know what party he would run for.
An independent, Yeah, no, I don't think so.
Because he said he was being contacted by political parties. I know there's the Green Party and Doc Mike calls up every year and says he's running for president from the Health Party or something as much of small small political parties. But it's almost impossible, based on the way it's set up to have any kind of success under that. What do we have here, Let's see page down. A cattle attacked by a crocodile, bit back and survived. This
is in Australia, of course, it's in Australia. An Australian cattle farmer going to leave the hospital early, nearly a month early after getting bitten by a crocodile. He escaped by biting back. What a badass. Guy's name Colin. He's in his sixties. He is walking towards a river northern Australia to take care of some fencing when he saw fish clustering in like the pond, and he left this bill of bong? What is it in a bill of bong? What is a bill of bong? They were clustering in
a bill of bong? It says, what is that? I don't know what that is?
Coop would know.
Hell smoke every day. So this guy realized with all this going on, he realized that there was something else in the water besides the fish. He abandoned his idea
to catch catching some fish. He turned to leave. The water had receded and they were down to the dirty water in the middle of the guy said, not using brevity, a all of a sudden, he took two steps and he called it in his quote, the dirty bastard latched onto my right foot, and he grabbed on and shook him like a rag doll and took the guy back to the water, pulled him into the water.
Damn yeah.
And this guy in his sixties, he tried biting and kicking. Nothing worked until this is wonderful, until he chomped down on the only remotely vulnerable spot on the beast.
You know what it was, danny tail? Did he get some tail?
He did not get any tail. He bit into the alligator's eyeball.
Aw nasty, how massive image in the texture.
Yeah, but it's either that's a great hack if you if you live in Florida or somewhere of the alligators.
Oh, if you're desperate.
Yeah, I'd never heard this before. That's that's like a cheek coat. To beat an alligator, you just have to be willing to eat an eyeball, or at least an eyelid. That's the only spot on the alligator where it it's it's got, it's it's uh, it's weak right there.
In some countries, it's probably a delicacy.
That quote. I jerked back on his eyelid, and that that's when the gator let me go. He freed himself. He ran to the car. The croc was in pursuit following him. The guy's are running. He used the towel and some rope as a tournique, and then his brother drove him to the hospital and he's been there. Happened back in mid mid Octoberbody's supposed to get out earlier. So see, you're learning things, Danny, like I wouldn't know to bite the iselid of an alligator. I wouldn't want to,
but hey, apparently it works. Yeah, well cranberries. You ever eat cranberries at all?
Drink cranberry juice sometimes? Yeah, although now I got to get the kind with low sugar because that shit is packed with sugar.
Oh hell yeah. It says cranberries can bounce, float, and pollinate themselves. There is a report the Science of Cranberry's, which I'm sure is just fascinating, but it was its Thanksgivings coming up. So they did this whole thing about cranberries and that the plant goes back five thousand, five hundred years. How do they know that? I think I'm a little skeptical, but wild cranberries are native to North America.
There you go.
And of course, obviously you haven't been cranberry sauce. I guess there's cranberry pudding. Never had that. I've had cranberry bread. It's okay, yeah, all right, It's not not the greatest thing in the world.
So there you go.
Today. By the way, fun fact about sixty percent of the United States cranberry is you know what state they come from? This is fun fact.
