And when we didn't have a lot of candy, orange, very sweet, very unique. It was super cool to get. People used to get them in their stockings. It's not a joke. This was a big Christmas staple. Candy corn. Dabo back in the day was unstoppable. Dabo today looks a little outdated. There's better, newer models. I go candy corn for Dabo. What about you, William? That's good, too.

“There's something particularly terrifying about the idea that you're going to be attacked while you are sleeping, which makes it virtually impossible to actually go to sleep.” — Clay Travis, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show “I turned on every light. I locked every door, not just the outside doors, like every door in the house. I moved something to protect my door from even being able to be opened. And I did that probably at the age of 32, 33.” — Clay Travis, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
