Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by potatoes starch up your day with a big glob

00:09

of carbohydrates Yeah do it All right Check the following

00:12

passage in this plane Man Their bag man No problem

00:18

Rise your hand According to this theory of potatoes were

plentiful Then what And here the pencil answers Right Ah

00:31
