And our fifth and final fun fact for today, the world record for the heaviest avocado is over 5.5 pounds.

In 2019, Guinness World Records certified an avocado weighing 5.6 pounds or 2.55 kilograms.
Kyle WoodHOST
For comparison, a standard Haas avocado in the supermarket won't weigh 5 pounds.
Kyle WoodHOST
It's more like 5 to 7 ounces.

And from a teeny tiny world of wonder, to one big fat cowboy hat, the world's largest at that.
Jeremy RothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's according to Guinness World Records, which recently certified that this humongous hat in Austin, a combined effort of the Circuit of the Americas racetrack and Western wear maker, Tecovus, is the world's largest fiberglass sculpture of such a thing.

Speaking of the Guinness World Records, I read the other day that the man that had the longest fingernails passed away.

And welcome to day six on this very special Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027 super week.
Darren ReesHOST
In this episode, we're gonna be talking about one of those players, one of those players who is sure to go on and be one of the greatest to ever grace a football pitch.
Darren ReesHOST
We've done an episode on this player before, so this is a part two on this player, and this player goes by the name of Ousmane Dembele.
Darren ReesHOST
Now, before we go any further, the first thing I would like to say is, adults, have you grabbed yourself a copy for a football-loving kid or whoever loves football in your house of the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027 book? If not, the link to buy it is right at the top of the episode description.
Darren ReesHOST
I reckon it'll make a wonderful Christmas present, and whoever ends up receiving it will love it because it is packed with stats and facts and, of course, record-breaking moments galore.
Darren ReesHOST
Right then, as we are doing an episode on a French player, Ousmane Dembele, some of you may remember an episode I did a few weeks ago on another French player called Rayan Cherki.
KevinHOST
I'm one of you.
