Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

Nothing says love like a diamond. Am I right? Yes, of course I am. Well, the largest diamond to be found since, I don't know, 1905 or something like that, has been found in Botswana. Man, do I love the Botswana diamond mine? it's worth well it's going to be worth

probably way more than $100 million it is 2,492 carrots officials say it's way too early to value the stone and how we're going to excel it what's going to happen to it

but the Canadian mining company and I guess when you think Botswana mining you think oh yeah the Canadian mining company in its Coral mine estimated that it could be worth 40 million, please. A 2,492-carat diamond, no way. That's at least 100 million.

So some industry insiders said that it looked, 40 million was a conservative number. Yeah, I mean, in 2016, a smaller diamond from the same mine sold for $63 million. So this is going to go for a lot more than that. And you can quote me on that. Until this week's discovery, the Sewell-all diamond, also known at the Coral Mine, also found at the Coral Mine, was recognized as the second biggest diamond in the world. That was 1,758 carrots. That was purchased by Louis Vuitton.

And they did not say how much they purchased that diamond for. The biggest diamond ever discovered is the Cullinan diamond that was on earth in South Africa. Yeah, in 1905. Given a value equal to $400 million at the time, it was 3,106 carrots. That was cut into gems. That's part of the British crown jewels. So this week's yet unnamed diamond was presented to the world at the office of the Batois. president, Mogawititi,

who was one of the first to get a hold of it. And he said that it's overwhelming, and I'm lucky to have seen it in my time. Now, the Corot mine, the same mine that found this particular diamond with 2,492 carrots. It also has been responsible for four other

1,000 plus carot diamonds over the past decade and they find it see this the thing they have this x-ray technology that they use

they have like Superman working for the Canadian mine company and he just x-rays into the ground and they say right there that should be the diamond

so nothing says love like a diamond so anytime that somebody says Wow, that's the biggest diamond you could get? Look, it's no 2,492-carat diamond, but it does say love. See if that works out for you.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You know, I first saw the story about the Botswana diamond. I thought for sure, it said the world's largest diamond found or whatever I thought, it better not have come from Arkansas. Because that damn diamond mine in Arkansas, man, the crater of Diamond State Park. We've talked about that place before.

That's a ruse. I'm telling you that's a ruse. Every so often somebody finds a diamond, a pretty good-sized diamond there, and they put it in the news. So it brings more people in to rent all their stuff and go out into the fields

and they plow it and they dig it up. There's no way. There's people out there with their wagons and they're digging through the dirt looking for diamonds. And we were out there for, I was out there for a day in the sun with the family

looking for diamonds. diamonds. It was agonizing. Did we find a diamond? No. Was there diamonds then, you know, a week later. Bill from New Jersey happened along the crater of Diamond State Park and found this diamond out there. Uh-huh. Okay. I mean, that's not Botswana. Botswana is not letting you in. The Canadian mining company is not letting you or me into the mine with our X-ray technology to find diamonds. They're doing it on their own. Speaking of Canadians, though, I see where the Canadian Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City is on strike. They've shut it down, the Canadian Railway, and you think, oh, you know, so what?

It's just that Canadian Railway. I know. Well, they've got 9,000 rail union workers that are just, they're not working now. 20% of U.S. trade first arrives in the Canadian ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, while roughly two-thirds of, of the cargo arriving at the port of Vancouver is moved by rail to the final destinations, either in Canada or in the United States. So the cargo includes fertilizer, iron ore, grain, cement, salt, potash, love potash, coal, cars, timber, and containers loaded with consumer goods or intermediate parts,

and the economic impact will compound for both the U.S. and Canadian economies for the longer the labor unrest remains unresolved. Yeah, they need to hop sing on it. Let's make this happen. Man, what are we doing? I will say this, that I don't know how much the Canadian rail strike will affect the rail service in my neck of the woods

here in DFW where this show originates from in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. But there are, I mean, it's never-ending trains. the tracks by my house heading into Fort Worth. And I don't mind seeing them to go by full of coal because that means I'm still going to have my lights are still going to be able to be turned on. But there are times.

There are times when you just want to get someplace and down come the crossbars of the railroad tracks and you have to wait for the train. And some times there are a whole, bunch of train cars and they don't seem to be moving as fast as they should so you're just sitting in 185,000 degree temperatures with I don't know two dozen cars surrounding you running with the sun moving closer to the face of Texas and you're sitting there as the train goes by that does not make me happy. It does not

make me happy. But if the strike means that I have less time waiting at the railroad crossings, maybe I might be for it for a little while. And it may be a little while. I was as you read deeper into

the railway strike story, both sides indicate they are not close to an agreement. So, I mean, the same thing happened here in the U.S. not long ago. because they want, you know, better wages. Everybody wants more money.

And they want safer scheduling to manage fatigue. Yeah, because, you know, if you're in the caboose and the train has to go, you know, a thousand miles, I can get tiresome. And you're just sitting there. That's not all they do, Jeff. No, I know, I know. But it just appears to me you're just in the, even if you're driving, you know, you're the conductor.

He has a little conductor hat on. Look, I love life in the train age. I love trains. I truly do. No one supports trains more than this show right here. Chewing the Fad and myself. I love them. And I've had family members who have worked for the train company.

I mean, that's a good gig, man. If you can work for the train, you just travel the country, riding trains, man. And my brother, in fact, rode all over the country, you know, hitching trains. So I was like, we're, I'm sympathetico with trains. trains, man. I have not, I've not put any of my own chewing the fat graffiti on the sides of the trains. But if you sit there during the daytime, you see plenty of graffiti. And those are just warnings, man. Those are warnings to let you know that, no, you should be riding on that train.

And if you hop off here, we're probably going to kill you. And that's just the way it is. So let's go. Let's go Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City. Let's get let's get back to work. They just lost the one train company. I'm just babbling now, but the one train company, their CEO just died. I had him in Who Die Today and I never got to him. I mean, he's still dead.

But I never got to him. But he was the CEO and Mr. Train Guy. Gosh darn it. Rest in peace to Mr. Train guy. And this wouldn't happen if he was still alive. I can tell you that. This is a perfect example, though. These people that are on strike now and they're not working, it's an emergency, right?

And hopefully they have some money saved and they have a Jace case with medication because maybe they can't get to the doctor because they can't afford it now. They're not working. If a family member gets sick with something that they need medication for, they can't get to the doctor. They can't get to the pharmacy. They'll have the Jace case. What's the Jace case, Jeff? Well, it's a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use. All I have to do is fill out a simple form online, and you'll have it delivered to you. You'll have it in case you need it. There I add-on options as well. Tamiflu, I mean, we're all concerned about it's full. flu season and we're hearing rumors that Tamiflu will be hard to get, which probably is true, because there's plenty of medications that are very difficult to get if you can get them at all.

And you don't want to have that be the case. When you need something, you're going to want to be able to have it. And that's what Jace case provides. It's really, it's a remarkable feeling when you have the Jace case. when I just had the stupid dog flu a couple weeks ago. And about two or three days in, I remembered, man, if this lasts another day, I still have some Jace case. I don't need to worry about going to the dock.

I can just get my antibiotics and I can kick this thing out of here. Then I got better. But I felt maybe that's what made me feel better and get better because I felt better. I had access to the medication that I needed. Jace case. You can go to jace.com. That's Jeffie. And order your Jace case today and be prepared in case of an emergency.

Now, I said the other day that they had sold the house that they bought together, the $68 million dump in Beverly Hills. But apparently not because I was looking at a listing, and it is now listed on Zillow. And so I guess it's up for sale now.

I guess J-Lo filed the divorce papers and then went, and hammered in the for sale sign out front, put a little balloon on it, and it's up for sale now. And so you can pick up the 38,000 square foot estate for $68 million. I mean, it is beautiful. It's very nice.

It's on five acres. J-Lo, honey, listen, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com, and I'm willing to come out stay at the place. You don't need to sell it. I'll be there for you. There's room for everyone. Okay?

And I love the listing is recently renovated with the highest level of quality within the last four months. Yeah.

Okay, I'm in. I'm in. I'll give you $65 million cash. I'm not paying the full price at $68 million. That is awesome. Now, I will say this. In the story, it talks about how much it costs, you know, daily to keep things going at the house.

All right, so not only are you going to have to pay this. See, that's the thing. All right, and that's the thing with, you know, living like this. And that's why I can't live like this. I just, I can't bring myself to do it. I quit because it's just too expensive of an upkeep thing. So according to this, you're spending, you're probably spending $20,000 a day for everything, not counting the taxes, right? So the taxes on this place is, I think, $400,000 a year?

That seems right. That seems like $400. Yeah, because they were saying that the property tax rate is, is, is, you know, Not the most expensive. Connecticut in Greenwich is more expensive. If you had this house in Connecticut, it would be $800,000 a month. $800,000 a year taxes instead of $400,000.

But when you talk about keeping the lights on and keeping the power on, I mean, electricity, you're looking at $3,000 to $10,000 a month. The water, you're looking at $500 to $2,000 a month. Okay, so let's do the... I mean, now you're looking at $12. What did I say? 10 grand a month?

Let I say five, whatever. It's going to cost it. I mean, you're going to be spending $20,000 a month probably, right? Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, okay. So gas, you're looking at $500 to $300 a month.

And security and maintenance $1,000 a month and that's if you don't have actual guards. If you've got 24 security, that's another million a year at least to have security. Five acre estate, I mean, it looks

beautiful. And that's the thing, right? I mean, J-Lo can come here along with Ben. Well, not anymore. It's over. But they could. The thinking was that you could go there and then that's where you stay. You don't have to go out and see, you don't have to deal with people.

You don't have to deal with the paparazzi. You don't have to deal with the mish-mash. You just, that's where you're at. You're there. You can send, you know, you can send Jose or Millie out to get your cigarettes and your drinks or whatever you need for the house. So, you didn't have to go out for that.

Now, Ben liked to stop off at Dunkin' Donuts. That was his big sponsor. He likes stopping at Duncan. He likes Duncan. And so he would, you know, that was the big thing. He would stop at Duncan, grab a couple of coffees, smoke a couple of cigarettes. J-Lo was unhappy about that. That's one of the things that she bugged him about, which is why he was like, get off me.

So, but you could have, that's the, just go behind the wall, man. It's just awesome. But you got to have, you got to have money coming in because. So let's say you, you know, you win the lottery. You win $100 million in the lottery. Okay, that's great. You win $100 million in the lottery. Well, you need more than $100 million to actually buy this place.

So let's say you win $200 million in the lottery and you take home $120, $130 million. So you buy this place for $65 million. Okay, well, you still have to have, what, $20? We'll say that on the cheap. Keep the lights off in the guest house, okay? We're not paying the power in the guest house. and nobody's running water out there. We don't have to worry.

Just make sure Jose trims the bushes on the outside. So we're fine. So you have that. And so low ball, 20,000 a month upkeep. Making sure the grounds are right. Everything is set. Just to keep the lights on. And so, I mean, you have to have income coming in.

Otherwise, I mean, there you sit. With no power. No. I mean, you're done. It's just, oh, that's just amazing, credible. I could live there in a heartbeat. J-Lo, call me. You know, speaking of the hoity-toits, you know,

I was reading a story about Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. I don't think they're married yet, right? They're just, he just has proposed to her, and they're going to get married. So he's 60 now. She's 54. The story was about their hot yacht summer, you know, because he's got the new yacht, and they got the new sidekick yacht that the Lauren Kesar helicopter and all the boats and the toys that follows the main yacht. And it's a pretty good life.

It's a pretty good life if you live in. But inside the story, and it talks about, you know, their gas, Kardashian and Leo and how they, you know, are just rubbing shoulders with everybody. And inside one of the stories for the summer is that they were in Rome and they gave, You know, they kissed each other in front of the fountain, and they, you know, tossed a coin into the fountain. And the reporter is like, oh, to know what they wished for. Yeah, they wished for you to be out of their life and stop following them around, okay? They don't need anything.

But I wish for another $100 billion. And he'll probably get it. And so that was before that, that was before they met the Pope. I don't know what he paid to see the Pope. I mean, you don't just, it costs money to see the Pope. You get a sitting with the Pope and meet the Pope, even if you're Jeff Bezos. You're writing a check. You're writing a check to the church.

The Pope is not, he's not being rolled down from his apartment to, you know, meet you without some cash. That's why I always wanted to be Pope. All right. Yes. Hey, Fisher. How are you today? Fine. Thank you.

I have a. Just getting ready to go to the break room. You're about to, oh, perfect, because I'm about to go. on break, about to head into my lunch, and I'm going to IHop because of what I heard on chewing the fat. All you can eat buttermilk pancakes, baby, for five bucks. For five bucks. I'm going there, so I'll give you a full report on Monday. How should I do this? I'm not a big pancakes guy, so. Well, get the breakfast. You can get the one breakfast with the side of buttermilk pancakes, and that means that it's free. So you get the breakfast and you get the side of the buttermilk's not

five bucks. It's all you can eat. No, it's all you can. No. that's not five bucks it'll probably be eight or nine or something like that but i'm going for the five bucks well then you just order the buttermilk pancakes so yeah i just come with it start they start you out with four and as soon as they set that plate on the table you order another round i need four more right now and they probably they probably come in twos they probably keep coming because i did the apple bees all you can eat right because i have a three menu all you can eat apple peas for 15 bucks yeah which is the riblets the boneless wings. Oh, yeah.

And the shrimp, like popcorn shrimp. What's the thing that we always used to get at Applebee's? The dip, the spinach dip. No, because, again, I went in there for all you can eat. Oh, yeah, okay, never mind. So I ordered that. I was very disappointed with all you can eat at Applebee's. Oh.

And. I mean, it wasn't all you can eat, right? It was, but then when I put in my, because I wanted to eat them all, I wanted to eat them all three meals. When I put the order for the third meal, which was the riblets, the power went out. Oh. So they kicked you to the curb?

They didn't kick us to the curve. We waited there for a part to come back house. We could pay our bill. Oh, no. You'll be disappointed. That's what you leave. When the power went out, I was like, oh, look at that.

I guess that's all I can eat. That's all I can eat. Goodbye. Take care. The wife said, no, we're not leaving. We have to pay for our food. Zip it. So.

You need to put some pants on. Then on Tuesday, I'm the last year. On Tuesday, I'm doing all you can eat bone-in wings at Buffalo Wild. Oh, I'm a buffalo wild wings, yeah. So all this week and next week, I'm going to do all you can eat. I just had some honey barbecue from there. But you did the bonus, right? No.

Oh, you do bone-in? No, I want the regular wings, baby. Okay. So today, I'll put some pictures. I don't know how much they cost because they just show up at my house. Yeah, because you have an inside man. I say, you know what sounds good to me is, you know some honey barbecue wings and then they show up have you talked about this i don't know

I don't like... I'm not Olive Garden fan. All right, let's go to the break room. It's time to get something cold to drink because I needed it after that. Holy cow. Oh, I should have reminded Chris that Walmart Plus,

subscribers, and I think he is a subscriber of Walmart Plus, is now going to get a 25% discount on Burger King orders and free whoppers every three months. That's part of your deal. They're trying to compete, I guess, with Amazon or something. So I got to talk to him about that because I am not a Walmart plus subscriber. And I've often thought about it because, just because, but I'm not. I have a Sam's and a Costco.

and how many things do I have to subscribe to? Anyway, follow me out my social media accounts at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio is Facebook and Instagram. My YouTube channel is Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can email the show anytime, whether you're Jailor or not, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

I said this morning, as I was on Pat's show, We got news that Megan the Stallion I was going to host the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards set for September 11th. Wow, they're going to have a music award show on September 11th.

How far we have come from the September 11th? Wow. Okay, okay. You do you, boo. But we're going to do an honor to remember when our MTV studios used to look out and you could see the Twin Towers. Man, those were good days, weren't they?

I mean, is that what we're going to do? That'll be fascinating. That'll be fascinating. And then I, it's just amazing. And I see where Victoria Beckham, you know where you love her, she just signed another deal with Netflix to do her own docu series. So I guess it's going to be, you know, it's an untitled docu series.

Yeah, we don't know what is we want to call it. You just be you, Victoria. Walk around. In fact, once in a while, get naked. That'd be fine. And in fact, what you should do is the very first episode. You should get out of the pool naked and you should walk around the house naked. Then you never have to be naked again.

But every man in America will watch the Netflix show after that. And that's the way TV shows work on Netflix. They hook you with those great sex and violence scenes on the first episodes. Right, episode one of Victoria Beckham. The docu-series, Spice Girls from Superstardom to the 90s modern fashion maven. To her daily body upkeep of swimming naked in the pool.

Victoria. That's what they're going to do. Then you'll never see it. Anyway, congratulations to Victoria. And I see where Lionsgate, has pulled the most recent trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopoulos following reports that it included fabricated quotes from famous movie critics, dissing the director's iconic films. Wow, okay.

So the first 38 seconds of the trailer show quotes allegedly from film critics, negative reviews of Coppola's iconic movies, seemingly to make the point that the director is a genius so ahead of his time that critics cannot see his brilliance at first. But it turns out the quotes are fake. Oh, huh, weird. The words attributed to legendary film critics like Andrew Saris and Pauline Kale, yeah, when you think of film critics,

those two just roll right off your tongue. The Godfather is a sloppy, self-indeligent movie and diminished by its artiness, its artsness, don't appear, they never said it. And one quote portrayed as Roger Ebert's critique of Coppola's Brom Stoker's Dracula was actually from Ebert's review of the 1989. Batman.

Good. I mean, we really need to do this in today's world. Come on. What are we thinking? Plus, now they're going after Coppola. I mean, he spent, I don't know, $120 million, I think, on this movie. And so it might even have been his own money. I mean, this was his little pet project.

But they all are trying to say that he, remember they were accusing him of doing something on the set of this movie. And he was, I forget what he was, there was one story out. I have to find it now. He said, I certainly. didn't disrespect them. Okay, well, of course, that's

what you're going to say. Sources told the Guardian, ahead of Megalopoulos that Coppola allegedly pulled women to sit on his lap, tried to kiss some of the topless female extras while filming. So, I'm sorry.

And once, source said the director, claiming he was trying to get them in the mood. I mean, Copeland five, something like that now. Come on. Come on.

Seriously, how old is Copeland? He's got to be 85. He's 85. There's only so much Viagra can do. You can quote me on that. There's only so much Viagra can do. But, you know, is it possible? Sure.

It's possible. And you're telling me that these women who are acting, acting in this movie who are running around naked for this scene they're pissed when Francis Ford Coppola says get over here

let me let me feel that ass they're not alleging that he said that that was all me so I thought the Paramount deal was done I thought the deal with Skydance and Paramount was all done I thought Ellison, the son of the tech icon and his sky dance media took over Paramount

pictures and the CBS Broadcast Network and the cable networks. I thought that was a done deal. Nope. Every day I see new headlines saying this guy, Edgar Bronfman, keeps adding money to the pile. And he just added saying, I'll give you $6 billion. Six billion. Because the original deal, I think, ended up being from Ellison. I think it was less than $6 billion.

But they must be having some kind of, I don't know what all the deal is. And I'm not, look, I wasn't involved in any of the negotiations. So, you know, pardon me for questioning what's going on. But I'm just saying, I thought it was a done deal. And then I keep seeing headlines all over the place that this Bronfen keeps adding money to the public. to buy the dump.

So just get it worked out. You know what? That's where I'm at right now. I'm tired of seeing the headlines. Get it worked out. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Dry your eyes. The famous Sven and Magic, the two male penguin, who were just, I mean, they were considered, I guess, 11 as a long life in captivity, because Magic, the partner, is only nine. Now, they're two Gen 2 penguins. And I guess every so often for the past few years, they would give them eggs, and then they would hatch the chicks. So, Sven and Magic, they build.

to pest a nest of pebbles together. And they caught the attention of zookeepers. And then the zookeepers, well, hey, let's give them some, let's give them some eggs. And they did. And they just loved them. The two gay penguins just loved them and hatched the little penguins. What do they call little babies? A little baby penguins.

We'll just call them that. I was going to come up with something. I don't want to call them that in real life. So just baby penguins. Now, Sven and Magic. were adopted as gay icons in Australia and abroad, inspiring a float in the Sydney Mardi Gras parade and appearing on the Netflix sitcom atypical.

Well, I mean, there you go. They also had their critics. Oh, no! With conservative circles saying that penguins were being unwittingly used to push a political agenda. Yeah, that's what you do. Don't be bad mouth in the zoo, man. The zoo said, hey, we got a pair of gay penguins.

We're going to use them. And there's nothing but love going on with the male Gentoo penguins, Sven and Magic, who then had chicks. So now what I love about this really is that they try to make it seem like he was older because they say he died just shy of turning 12. He's 11. okay so magic was nine so he was younger but not that much younger and what i i think my favorite part of the whole story and it's sad sad that we lost spent but um they're not they're not the first

same-sex penguin couples to have adopted eggs in captivity there's a handful of zoos around the world that say oh we got a couple of gay ones all right well give them a couple of eggs and they'll heal they'll hatch them out okay no problem because they if they if the chick has rejected the eggs and the gay parents they heal them up take care of them anyway

I say that but they were concerned that how magic would react to the death of Sven so they took magic to see Sven they just dragged

magic into see her dead partner, or I'm sorry, his dead partner. Okay, take a look, I could happen to you. Sorry, that's the way it goes. So apparently, as soon as they drug magic in to see the dead Sven, they said that he immediately started singing. He wasn't singing. He was crying.

Like, what do you got me? He showed me my dead mate. there you go I just want to let you know he's dead all right so I know you're a gay penguin so you're going to have to find another guy because your mate is dead

Sven is dead at the age of 11 I mean I don't want Sven to die but we just drag we don't just live we just drag magic in and hey Yeah, there's Fed. He's dead. Wanted to let you know. That's what he looks like and that's what he is. Just wanted you to know.

That's why you're not going to see him anymore. He's dead. There's a guy in Japan and he goes diving every week to find his missing wife. Now, I know that, I mean, I guess okay. So Yasuo Takamoto lost his wife during the tsunami that struck Japan. Japan, March 11th, 2000, 2011. And so we don't know what happened to her. He spent the following two years searching for her on land.

All right. And then he now has obtained his driver's license or his diving license and began to look in the waters on a weekly basis. So he dives to find his wife. Yoko's body remains undiscovered. Her phone was found in a local parking lot months after the disaster. But we don't know what happened to her. So he just dives to try to find his wife.

He said, I dive as if I'm going to meet her someplace. I mean, bless his heart. Bless his heart. And speaking of diving, or underwater. I never did get to tell you that they found Mike Lynch, you know, the billionaire who just got away from his, got off on his case, right?

In California, he was celebrating because he got away with it. Nope, sorry, tornado came by, and they finally found him. I asked the other day if they had found him, and they now have found him, which they believe is him. I don't know that they've actually officially said that it was him. but they've retrieved six bodies from the wreck over the past four days. And he was the final body being searched for by Italian authorities. Mike Lynch apparently was retrieved.

And they said identified. I didn't think that they had an official identification yet, but this says they did. So, okay, it was him. Mike Lynch, they found him with him and his 18-year-old daughter. Really sad. Very, very sad. I mean, he was in his yacht, 22 passengers and crew members on board.

And then, you know, early in the morning, a tornado hit it tipped over. We talked about the damage that it did. So he was still, you know, I assume that he was still in the boat along with the other people. So really, really sad. And so just know that I know you were concerned. They have found Mike Lynch, rest in peace. So he was 59. I saw where I was asking earlier,

you know, like seems to be taking them a while, but where it was situated off the coast, they claim that it sunk in 160 feet of water. So divers only had around 12 minutes to reach the site, explore the cabins, and then they had to resurface, which is why they took so long to find all seven bodies. I just saw a headline from the maker of his yacht.

They claimed that it took 16 minutes to sink, and the crew should have had time to rescue the passengers. So the maker of the yacht is like, that's not me. I got nothing to do with it. I mean, rest in peace, Mike, and your daughter and the chef and whoever else went down. But, man, that is not on me. the Italian

C Group covering their butt that's awesome he's making it seem oh yeah the cruise of had time to rescue him that's just designed to be absolutely

stable is it is it CEO of the Italian C group okay all right well

we'll talk to you later, okay? We'll let you know later. Don't be covering your ass right now. This is incredible. This is incredible. No, really, I had nothing to do with it. That yacht should have stayed afloat. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.
