All right, remember the couple that found the giant potato that they named Doug? And it weighed 17 pounds. And it was the Guinness World Record. It was a standout potato. They keep it in the freezer. And they called it Doug, D-U-G. And we joked around about how. They say hello to it when they open the freezer and the grandkids come over and say,

can we see Doug? And they open the freezer and say hello to the world's giant potato. The world's biggest giant potato. Yeah. Well, guess what? It is not a potato. Get us emailed or sent a letter back to the family. Yeah.

I know you submitted all the photos and the paperwork. but it's not a potato. Sorry. It's a gourd. So you don't have the, you don't have the world's largest potato. In fact, we're going to go ahead and disqualify the entire application. Have a nice day.

Take care. So we were had. We were had. And it was a viral story that now, is not a story or the story itself is that we were lied to and it's a gourd kind of looks like a potato

I'll give you that when you look at it on the little cart that they have that they haul it around with they claimed that they cut a little piece off and sent it to Guinness but it's not it's a gourd so we were had I know I know

I want a Guinness World Record too but I don't want to lie about it well at least in I don't want to lie and get caught about it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

And, you know, after the big fire, a couple of years. years ago. It's been two years, two years, two years, three years. It's 2022. What am I thinking? It's 2019 when the fire happened in France. It's just amazing burning the cathedral. And so they've been fixing it up. And they are getting ready for prep work to build the fire at the central

spot, right? And so they're, you know, digging around and getting things ready. They found tombs completely and along with the tombs, likely dating from the 14th century. they found a human-shaped sarcophagus made of lead. The coffin, they're guessing, may have been made for a senior dignitary and likely dated from the 1300s following the century following the cathedral's construction, as well as the tombs. Elements of painted sculptures were found just beneath the current floor level of the cathedral, identified as parts of the original 13th century rodscrues. an architectural element separating the altar area.

Okay, so how about? Remember, we found other parts of the structure were destroyed in the 18th century. Those were on earth during the mid-1800s restoration and are already on display at the loom. How about we leave the human-shaped sargophagus made of lead, for whatever reason, alone? Let's just leave it. We know it's there. You know what? And we're just going to cover it up again and we're going to leave it alone.

If you find, this is just a helpful hint from me, Jeff Fisher, and chewing the fat program. If you find a coffin, a human-shaped sarcophagus made of lead, leave it alone. Walk away. You know what? We'll talk to you later. I look at the time. Man, I'd love to check out what's inside there more than anything. But, man, look at the time.

Well, Starbucks has been in the news quite a bit lately. We've talked about their getting ready for their, you know, getting rid of the plastic cups and they really want to save the planet. Well, they also announced that after five years, the CEO, Kevin Johnson, is giving up the job. Oh, okay. I'll have a nice day. Take care.

I mean, you went through the digital ordering push during COVID. You had restaurants trying to be unionized under your leadership, your tutelage. And then, you know, you, what else have you done? Oh, I know. You got things started for the get rid of the plastic coffee cup that you're known for, by the way. and Howard Schultz, the guy that left, is coming back. You know, just until a permanent boss can be found. So I don't think Kevin was doing that great of a job.

Howard Schultz is coming back into the position after he retired. Okay. I mean, what do you think he is? Tom Brady? I retire. Nah, you know what? No, it took him five years, though. Brady only had, what, a couple of months?

Maybe not even a couple of months. And, you know, at least Howard Schultz had a few years under his belt. I also see where Starbucks and Volvo are teaming up to install electric vehicle charging stations outside of Starbucks cafes. That's actually, you know, I get it. Whatever, that's fine. They want to, you know, it's a good deal. You have the charging stations outside of Starbucks. And then, you know, people pull in and they can charge and get their cup of coffee.

Now, Volvo is doing it because they claim, well, they're doing it at 15 Starbucks stores to begin with Denver and Starbucks, of course, Seattle headquarters. Volvo is branded with fast chargers. Oh, okay. What is a fast charger? Not really sure. I think Volvo claims that their car will charge in like, You get a partial charge in 40 minutes. I guess if you plug your car and you're spending 40 minutes at the Starbucks, right?

But they claim that the Volvo electric cars will go from 20% to 90% in 40 minutes. Yeah, okay, so 40 minutes. Don't stop. I know. I get the 30 minute joke. But I'm just wondering if you're below the 20% does it then take. longer to get it back up to the 90% anyway and what happened I mean 30 minutes maybe at a Starbucks so you just let you know you sip on a little bit more to get your car

charged what I don't understand is I mean that's fine Starbucks could do that and good for them and they're partnering with Volvo you know it'll be a wonderful thing and maybe Volvo you'll get a Volvo and you'll get a free reusable coffee cup that you could use at Starbucks we'll get you hey you know what Starbucks needs to do is sell the lifetime refill cup right You get the lifetime refill cup for what, 100 bucks, and you can get a refill for a dollar every time you pull through the drive-thru or something like that. Just an idea for you, Starbucks, you know, free off the top of my head.

But I don't understand. Here's another idea. And this is what I, honestly, I was thinking about this last night, and I'm thinking, why hasn't this happened? So it takes, what, a two or three hour point to charge your cars, right? the Teslas and some of the vehicles to get 100% charge, you've got to be there for a while. And by a while, I mean two to three hours, right?

That's the downside of needing charges. They don't have the replaceable batteries. You have to stop and charge, and then you can go after you, you know, after you've been traveling. Why don't movie theaters have the charging stations? It doesn't make sense to me that they don't. I mean, these movie theaters want to come back

and they want people to go see movies, and they've made their deals, which, by the way, I question and we've been over several times on this show, and I still have a real problem with the movie theaters getting what they got. I think the deal should have been better

for the streamers, but that's okay. They didn't consult me. They didn't consult chewing the fat. They should have chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Let me know. Anyway, I just wonder why they don't have them at the movie theaters. What's the perfect place?

You go in? You plug in, you go in, you watch the movie, you get there early, you get a little food. It's a win-win. It's a win-win. I mean, we just saw the story not long ago where AMC is invested in some gold and silver mining company that they thought was a good deal. And I saw the headline like, so? I mean, good. They're a big company.

Of course, they're going to diversify some of their investments. But why haven't they invested in these chargers? And especially now, I mean, my gosh, I think the government is. giving them away. You know what? I might fill out a paperwork and see if I can get a charging station at my house. You know, for anyone to use, it's free. Put it in. Yeah, it's fine. Let us sit there in the yard. Somebody pulls up and wants a charge, let them go ahead. I'll sell them something while they're here. That's what I'm talking about. Why haven't the movie theaters made a deal with electric vehicle companies and or the government to put the charging stations in their parking lots?

It doesn't make any sense to me, but what do I know? AMC and Cinemarks, you're welcome. You're welcome. I'm headed to a Cinemark today, as a matter of fact. I got talked into going to see the Batman. I've read good and bad reviews about it, and I'm a little nervous. It's like eight hours long, and I know it's all,

man, three, yeah, it's not eight hours. You're just exaggerating. I know. But it better be worth my time. I will let you know tomorrow on chewing the fad, whether it was worth my time or not. But today, today, apparently it is worth my time

because I got talked into going and seeing the Batman. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh. All right, just a reminder that at the end of each show, I'm going to give you the bingo squares that were Xed off on the Pat Gray Bingo board today. I know you should be listening to Packerray Unleashed. Absolutely. You should listen to it live and or listen to the podcast and they have the bingo card giveaway, which is at the top

of at Pat Unleashed bingo or Twitter page. And, you know, when those phrases are uttered during the show, you X them off and the first person that, you know, when bingo is reached the first person to call the show wins a prize from our from our apparel and home goods website shop.blazemedia dot com and we all have

a different collections under shopblazmedia dot com and of course they want you to get the Pat Gray collection with that prize but you don't have to just so you know that's another part of the

Bingo Whisperer's job you don't have to You could perhaps get something from chewing the fat. Just saying. So anyway, you absolutely should listen to the show and check off your own squares. But I'm here for you. At the end of the show, I'll give you what, each day, how that bingo square block is looking. Okay? All right, good.

And also, mom's the word, okay? Shh, don't tell anybody. So I'm talking to my father-in-law last night, which is, you know, a rarity. No, I love him. He's a good guy. He lives here with you. of this and um he he comes sitting there working at the table and he comes out of the out of his bedroom and he says hey um i didn't hear you talking about it but uh i just woke up from a dream

i think it's a dream i mean it was i don't know if it's true or not but did jalo die in a car crash and i'm like no uh you know if that were to happen happen, I would know. No question. Those alerts would be everywhere and I would know. Uh, there's no way that J-Lo gets injured and I don't know about it. Okay? That's just, that's just not possible. And so, uh, he says, I must have been a dream then. I hope it's not a, who was a premonition or anything? No kidding. So listen, if something happens to J-Lo in the next, you know, near future, uh, my father-in-law is now a visionary. And, I will be using that to our advantage.

We'll be doing shows with my father-in-law on his visions. If this comes true, if it doesn't come true, I just shut up, old man, and go back in your room, okay? That goes over well, too. I see where Netflix is at it again as well. Every so often, about once every six months, for sure, once a year. They like to throw it out there that they want to crack down on password sharing, because they want to get everybody not sharing their passwords,

so they try to whip you into shape and not share your passwords. I know. And it's at least once a year. Usually every six months or so, they throw a story out there just to try to keep everybody in line. So they're going to send notices to the primary account holders who have been sharing their passwords beyond their households and prompt them to pay their fees

for up to two freeloaders. What? No way. So apparently you're going to have the option to spin off individual profiles into separate accounts so that anyone who's kicked off the main account can keep their viewing history

and content, you know, all what they want. Huh. So I guess that it's probably part of their, you know, deal when you click on except to, you know, view, Netflix that you can't have someone outside of your IP address or your Wi-Fi use your Netflix.

That's probably true. I think we've talked about that before. But good luck. That will piss way too many people off. Oh, did I mention that they're going to try a test run, which is what they always claim. They're going to do it in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. Uh-huh. And they may or may not expand to other countries later on.

Oh. Okay. Now, remember we talked about how their stock has gone, you know, way down since the pandemic gains. And this is just a way for them to, you know, try to make a little extra money. They've raised their prices. And they just want to, you know, slap everybody into gear. So if you're sharing your, you know, Netflix password with someone in another town or another country, I mean, I would tell you don't do that because probably, you know,

the Netflix police will come to your door, but they're not coming to your door. Okay, this is just them trying to slap people into submission because they want, you know, they're starting to lose a little money. So every six months, every year, they come around and tell you they're going to, oh, you're sharing your password with your aunt in. Poughkeepsie, and you can't do that, and we're going to make her pay. Are you? Are you Netflix?

Okay. Thank you. How about when you do that? We just all cancel. How'd that work out for you? That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Oh, and I saw where meta, our boy Mark Zuckerberg, said that, I'm sorry,

our main metamate, Mark Zuckerberg, says Instagram, the Instagram, if you have Instagram, you're going to be able to create your own non-fungeable tokens, your own NFTs. That's kind of a cool idea. I'm surprised that that hasn't happened already. I don't know, you know, if you're, you know, an influencer, you'll be able to sell your NFTs, and I don't know how much, you know, if Instagram is going to get a cut of that, I would imagine so. But, you know, that's just me.

Look for that, though. That is coming. Another thing that is coming. another thing to look forward to, as you know, I am fashion. No one supports fashion more than this show. Ralph Lauren is unveiling a new collection for historically black colleges and universities. The brand aims to honor the contributions of black students to American collegiate style by drawing inspiration from fashion worn at historically black colleges from 1920 to 1950.

It's releasing its first-of-a-kind collection, conceived and designed and inspired by black creatives and students at the HBCUs. A full range includes outerwear, dresses, suits, footwear, and accessories, priced between $20 and $2,500. A film and commemorative yearbook accompanies, a company the release meant to help expand the meaning and influence behind American luxury. So you've got that to look forward to. Some of the stuff actually looks kind of cool. You know, I would wear it, except Ralph doesn't make a lot of fat guy stuff, which is very disappointing. I love a lot of his stuff, a lot of their stuff, a lot of the brand stuff.

But, you know, usually the, I think we may have talked about this before, usually Ralph's, you know, 3X, and you don't find a lot of those, really isn't 3X. The 2X from Ralph is like. maybe, you know, just an oversized regular. Now, maybe that's Ralph's thing. He doesn't really want a lot of, you know, fat guys wearing Ralph Lauren.

I get it. But I'm tired of being fat shame from Ralph Lauren. Okay. Tired of it. Another thing I'm tired of is when is Ellen DeGeneres going to go away? My gosh. I'm so sick. I mean, she's finally set an end date.

Thank you. We're finally going to be rid of her. I didn't think the show. I thought it was supposed to be over. I thought she was done. May 26. My gosh, we got a, we got to wait until May. May 26 today is what this.

If you're listening live, today is the 17th of March 2020. For those of you not listening live, this is when it was recorded, the 17th of March 22. So we got to wait until May, 26th of May. So we're going to be getting a big finale fun for the whole thing. So they're going to walk down memory lane. Oh, it's going to be. be great. And then they're going to have Michelle Obama, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, oh, Serena Williams. It's going to be great. Maybe even David Letterman will stop by.

Kim Kardashian would be great. We're going to have to have the wife come on and be a part of saying goodbye to the show and how much she's going to love having Ellen home every day. That'll be wonderful. She's going to be so happy to have to be home every day. And the only person that she can be mean to is the wife. It'll be great. It won't be a toxic workplace anymore for Ellen. It'll just be a toxic home place.

We'll see how long that couple stays together after Ellen leaves the show. Ooh, look out. So apparently the show is giving out some money too. She's boy, she is buying off the people that she hollered out over the years, man. So if you've been there one to four years, you get a two-week pay bonus. If you've been there four to eight years, you get a three-week pay bonus. And they cap it at six weeks of pay for the longest serving employees. And there's also reports of a condensed production schedule for the back half of the finale season.

they're not working as much. Plus, she's giving, she's making sure that the staffers are going to receive letters that the studio is all for them. 100%. They're helping them with extended health care coverage for six months beyond the end of the program, along with providing access to resume building and networking workshops for free one-year memberships to LinkedIn learning. You'll be able to get emails from LinkedIn for the rest of your life.

That's great. So at the end of May, so what is that? So you get it, everything is good until the end of the year then. She is paying them off big time, man. I mean, the show has been a monster show. My gosh. She's made a fortune, right? I mean, she's had, I don't know, 3,200 episodes, 64 daytime.

Emmy Awards, that's pretty impressive. She's had 300 million social followers generating 8 billion views across all platforms, 14 original series produced. That was Ellen Digital Ventures, which I'm sure Ellen Digital Ventures is still going to be up and running. And a lot of those people that are working on the Ellen DeGeneres show are probably, you know, pushing each other out of the way to get to work specific. for Ellen Digital EdV, Ellen Digital Ventures, because she's going to be there a lot.

The wife, Porta Dorothy, is going to be kicking her out. Why don't you go into the office and get out of here? I'm sick of you, bitching at me. That's coming. That is coming. It's the matcha, or the three ensemble Cado, Cephora, of the fates that I've been to denishé, who energize all the time.

It's the form of standard and mini-regrouped. Hello, Ben. And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre-a-doned. And I know that I'd I'd love them but I guard the Summer Fridays

and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm sure. The most ensemble the gift of these show show and the first

summer Fridays Rare Beauty Way, Cephora Collection and other part of the video. Procurre you

for a major quality price. On link on Cephora. com, or in this show,

no one supports fashion more than this show. No one supports truckers more than this show.

And also no one supports animals more than the show. This show loves animals. I mean, they need to remember their place. We are the top of the food chain. We as being humans. But I love them. I'm still, you know, I don't want anything bad to happen to them. But when they,

you know, start thinking they get a little too big for their bridges, they need to be, you know, set straight. I mean, like, who talks about the yellow cardinals, the one million yellow cardinals near Gainesville, Florida that everybody is all excited about seeing this time of year. Who talks about the never before seen in the U.S. Bat Falcon spotted in Texas? It's usually down south farther than Texas. Yes, no one this show. And I'll tell you what. I may have to, I might have to just do a whole segment on monkeys tomorrow. I have got so many stories on monkeys. It is amazing. And some of them should have been put down. There's no doubt. I I mean, monkeys are, the monkey mafia is getting out of control in several places around the globe.

So that has got to be, you know, stopped. But congratulations are in order to the most popular dog breeds in the U.S., the American Kennel Club, just released its list of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. States. So what do you think they are? Uh, coming in at number 10, dashhounds. Oh, number nine, German short-haired pointers. Number eight, Rodwilers. I like Rodwilers. They're, they're all right. Uh, number seven, Beagles. Number six, bulldogs. Number five, poodles. These are the top ten most popular dog breeds in the United States.

Number four, German shepherds. Number three, golden retrievers. Number two, French bulldogs. I should have had their specific dog barks for each one of these mentions as we were going down. I know, it's not the award show, so let's don't get crazy, Jeff. Number one, the number one most popular breed of dog in the United States. of America. Congratulations are in order. The Labador Retriever. Yes, Labador. Get on down here.

Nah, never mind. Stay where you're at. All right. So I've got some stories, the headline stories that have been piling up getting, you know, the fat piles getting too big on these headlines. So let's try to get through them for you today. Tim Cook, Apple, man, they do a lot of suing. No kidding, man. The company file. The company file He filed 215 Apple, and we're just, you know, Tim Cook is the head of Apple. He filed 215 trademark oppositions to defend its IP between 2019 and 221. Wow. 250 times.

He's suing people saying, oh, yeah, no, you're too much like Apple. Oh, okay. Really? Yeah. They've gone after companies with logos that feature fruits. like oranges and pears. How about no? We know that the logo with the orange isn't an Apple.

Okay, we got it, Tim. Now, comparatively speaking, okay, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google combined sued 136 times. Or I should say filed 136 times. So, you know, maybe you didn't sue your file and the company goes, oh, sorry. okay, no, we won't do that anymore or you end up fighting them in court. I mean, those are tough battles, though. Go up against Apple and go up against Microsoft,

Amazon, Facebook, and or Google? You better be ready. You better be ready because they are going to bring it, man. They got cash unlimited to go against you and the little guy trying to come up with your fruit logo for your little corner store. Unbelievable. Congratulations to Paris.

Oh, maybe this will help. with the lead esophagus or sarcophagus, not the lead esophagus. Yeah, it's not the esophagus, it's the sarcophagus, it's the sarcophagus, but they had the lead

sarcophagus that we talked about earlier, you know, it was made of lead underneath the, underneath Notre Dame. Well, Paris is now ready to spend about $145 million on a planned cable car system that was going to transport

passengers from the suburbs to the cities. Oh, well, I mean, I guess other cities have built similar cable car systems, so Paris wants one, too. So maybe they could just, you know, you just kind of fly over the old sarcophagus or esophagus and, you know, look down and say, there it is. Yeah, leave it closed. Do not open the old lead coffin. Do, do, do, do, do. We don't want any of that.

NASA selling original photographs from the Apollo missions. The photos were sold at an auction in Copenhagen and included the famous snap of Buzz Aldrin on the moon. That one sold for $7,700. Boy, that doesn't seem like that much for that photo. But I guess it's everywhere. But what if it's the NFT? And they sold 74 original photographs and got 171,8,800. $131. Well, that does not

sound like that much. Ah, but what do I know? I see where SpaceX launch director went a little off script. The company sent, you know, another 48 Starlinked satellites into orbit last week. And Russian space

agency chief Dimitri Rogozen had some remarks. He said when Russia announced that it would stop selling its rocket engines to the U.S. Rogues and the Russian guy quipped Let them fly on something else Their broomsticks

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh that's funny That's funny Well the uh SpaceX launch director At the takeoff of the You know sending the Starlink satellites up Said time to let the American broomstick fly

And hear the sounds of freedom Yeah So think about it Dimitri And oh we had Fukushima too I okay so it wasn't Fukushima 2

but earthquake 7.3 magnitude hit Japan yesterday shutting off power for millions of customers and it struck in the same region as the one that caused the old crisis in Fukushima in 2011

11 years right 11 years to the month I think so oh I mean in Fukushima 2 could have happened. It could have. You don't know that.

And congratulations to Joe Buck. He just signed a new deal, so he's going to join his old pal, Troy Aikman, over there at ESPN. They're leaving Fox Sports. They're going to do Monday night football, and they're going to make a little bit of money. Buck's deal is worth $75 million over five years,

and Aikman is going to be paid $9,000. million dollars. Huh. And so they believe this is what really ticked him off was the Tony Romo deal. So every article says, on par with CBS's Tony Romo for the richest annual NFL TV salary. So it might not be quite as much as Tony, but it is on par.

And Aikman was ticked that Tony Romo made all that money because he's Troy Aikman. Man, he's got one or two Super Bowls. And, you know, he was in Dallas as well. and why don't they like me as much as they like Tony? And Troy's okay. I don't mind him as a color analyst. I mean, he knows what he's talking about, absolutely. But he just isn't as a flamboy and as Tony has been.

So, you know, maybe take some pointers and make a little bit more cash. Because, you know, 90 million isn't enough. Is it Troy? With AmX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for Tray. travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So years ago, I used to joke around about buying an island and then creating my own country

and then declaring war against the United States and then having the United States give me a bunch of money not to attack them. And I thought that'd be a good way to earn a little bit of money. I know, what was I thinking? I don't know. But I see where these people have actually purchased an island. They bought an island for $180,000 plus tax. Wow.

Okay. So they decided they wanted to crowdsource an island. Okay? So they put together an idea that it would take about $3,250 each. I wish I had known this. Man, I would have crowdsourced enough for me to get enough to purchase. purchase a share of this island. I could just come up with $3,200, but, you know, I'd crowdsource that.

Anyway, investors, you could purchase multiple shares of the island, but you only get one vote in the Democratic Society of the island. Oh, okay. So they started looking for islands in the Philippines and the Malaysia, Ireland, Panama, and Belize. They decided on this coffee K, coffee, C-A-Y-E, which is just, just off of Belize. So they now own this island. Nice. So it's

called a micro nation. Okay, so they're territories that are independent nation states, but they also have, you know, you still like this, Coffee K is a

micro nation, but they still, I believe, they still have a deal with Belize. And they've already been struck with theft. So when they went to the island previous scouting trip, they left behind the Islamia flag, and they left behind the passport stamp.

And those have disappeared. Oh, okay, so there was no big flag-raising ceremony. But you can still get... I might have to do this. I might have to do this. I need a citizenship of the micro nation. And I could be a lord or a lady of Islamia for a small fee without investing. Yes, I want citizenship in Icelandia.

I'd love the passport stamp. I'd be awesome to have. So, probably should get that soon, though, because of a storm comes by. That island is gone. Have a nice day. It's over. So I guess it still is within the laws and borders of Belize. So it's just a tongue-in-cheek micro-nation.

Well, boo to that. So I have, there's no single-use plastics and whatever. Dude, okay, so I guess I still want to be a citizen there. I still want a citizenship of coffee K. I want to have my dual citizenship with the micro-nation and the United States. of America. But you're talking me out of it. If I buy an island, I want to be able to do

what the heck I want with it. Okay? So, apparently, they're still taking investors for the next stage of development. I don't know how many condos are going up. It doesn't say how big the island is, the old coffee K island, the principality of Icelandia, but they

talk about how it looks like a coffee bean and one side of the island has a clearing with a small beach that leads into a shallow bay, and the other half is, you know, mangroves. So I'm not sure how many condos are going up. And if they're banning plastic, you know, cups and stuff, non-reusable plastic, probably not going to put condos up.

You know, it's just me. I know, I know. There's plenty of little, there's little micronations out there, which is kind of a cool little thing. Unless, I don't know that I want to love. live on coffee k but i do want to be an actual citizen of coffee k or the principality of islandia apparently when you visit you automatically become a citizen according to the new ruling class of coffee k now they claim that there is going to be tours and you're going to have

barbecue cooking and lunch set up and they're looking to try to have some snorkeling around the coral reef. They're developing the site with a basic boutique accommodations, a little mingling

place, a restaurant or bar, so that's, you know, we're getting there. It's not quite condos, but it's getting there. The old principle of is making some headway. As a micro-nation, now all they need to do to get some extra money,

and then maybe they should, you know, call me. Maybe I'll talk to the guy that started, founded Coffee K, the principality of Islamia, and tell him, look, dude, all you got to do is declare war on the U.S., and they give you cash not to attack. So you get a little extra cash for development. I mean, maybe that's just me. It's possible.
