Intro and Outro Music: DJ Quads "Cruise Around"

The meat business is one an average Joe can’t likely jump into; it isn’t a read-the-manual type of job. Never mind that the sheer volume might scare away an average Joe: In 2009, W. A. Bean produced four million hot dogs — that’s 400,000 pounds of them. And that’s just hot dogs; it doesn’t begin to count the 20 sausage varieties, or the many turkey, chicken, beef, and other products the company produces.
