DAVID GREENE, HOST:
Good morning. I'm David Greene, with news that may make you want to spit. The 40th Annual International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship was just held in Michigan, the winner: Matt BB Gun Krause.

Their dad, Rick Pellet Gun Krause, has won the title 15 times, which is all proof that a family that spits together stays together.
