Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

We are your morning show for any hour.

And I am here, as always, with Dick Mattis, my buddy and an editor at the Washington Free Beacon.

How are you doing, Vic?

Hello, Mary Catherine.

I'm fine, but a little concerned.

Let me tell you why.

My daughter, she went, they had like a half day yesterday.

So she had her friends, went to the mall as

young teens. I love it. Did they still do that? They know, right? And she brought home her

leftover smoothie. Okay. So it's in the fridge, but I think it really needs to be in the freezer

because you keep anything like that in the fridge. It tends to liquefy more,

but, you know, there was no way that was going to hold for the next day. So I said, I will have it

after dinner, right? Whatever. It's just a half. It's half a smoothie after dinner. So it was like a

strawberry. Strawberry smoothie. I said, good. It's like, it's like healthy, you know,

it's strawberry. It weighed me down so much.

And I weighed myself this morning and it was like, whoa, isn't it just like strawberries and bananas or did I just have a strawberry milkshake?

What is going on?

Well, see, that's where you're wrong, Vic, because it's the sugar that's after you, not the fat.

The fat is your friend.

Isn't it like natural sugar from the fruit?
