I have a story about you today, which I was very surprised to find out that you once had your credit card declined at Walmart. How is that possible? I have the biggest purchase in Walmart history. Really? $70,000. What did you buy? $70,000. In Walmart? Yeah, Walmart. So I get traded from Miami to Phoenix, and I'm the type of guy I have no patience. So when I get to Phoenix, you know, they have an apartment for me. Nothing's in it. So 2 or 3 in the morning, I got to go get four or five TVs. I got to go get printers. I got to go get laptops. I got to go get appliances, sheets, towels, underwear, T-shirts. So at the end, it was $70,000. So I put my credit card in and it got declined. So I pull it out. And I put it back in. So it declined again. So now I'm saying, I know I'm not broke. So then I just said, all right, I'll be back. So then the American Express Security called me. Hey, man, somebody stole your credit card. And they spent $70,000 at Walmart. I said, no, that was me. What the hell? Are you buying for $70,000? So they turned it back on. That's a true story. You should have tried one of David Beckham's cards if you still had one. Yeah, that's it. That's a great format.
