Airplanes are taking off and heading to their destination and then turning around and returning back to where they started because of some perceived issue that's happening on the plane. Now, I get it.

You know, if someone is crazy on the plane, if there's a fire that happened on the plane, if an engine, they're having engine issues, a pilot, Ben slumps over and dies, a passenger, maybe. Maybe I see if a passenger slumps over and dies, really not so much, though. If a passenger slumps over, we just kind of move him up front. Anyway, but this latest one, there's a couple of them that just would be maddening. this Air France flight was to travel from Paris to Guadalupe and man you can't drag me away from Guadalupe

this time of year which should have taken nine hours but the aircraft pilot turned around and there were 375 passengers and 12 crew members all agonized they were a quarter of a way through their trip and according to this Air Plus news love them it was ordered back to Paris

as a safety precaution after a passenger said they lost their phone. Oh no. What shall we do? Well, we're going to turn the plane around and we're going to land it back in Paris. Now, apparently,

after they returned to Paris, that same flight then took off 20 minutes later. So they're two hours into their flight. They have to turn around and go back to the airport. So there's four hours. And then they have to wait.

It only took 20 minutes to four. find the phone, I guess. It doesn't say that they actually found the phone, but apparently they did because then the plane took off. Man, I would be so angry. And I know, I know that plane batteries, you know, start fires and they have to evacuate sometimes.

We've had reports where, you know, a battery caught fire and then got a seat on fire. And that's an issue. And we need to take care of that. ASAP. And you can quote me on that. ASAP, take care of it. But just to turn around a plane because someone misplaced their phone,

oh my gosh, I would be so angry. Then we have this flight out of L.A. United flight flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai had to turn around after it took off. Yeah, there were only 257 passengers. and 13 crew members on board this flight. They took off and they're on their way to Shanghai. And the pilot realizes, what did I do with my passport?

Did I remember my passport? No, gosh darn it, I didn't. So they had to turn the flight around and head back to the United States. Now, did they go back to L.A.? No. They went to San Francisco because United had another crew ready to take the plane.

to Shanghai. Apparently, all those crew members in San Francisco had their passports. So apparently, one passenger said they received two meal vouchers, which was a $15 meal voucher each. So they got $30. And they also filed for compensation claim on United's website. I don't know what that is. I don't know if you get a free ticket. I don't know if they give you some air miles. I don't know what that would be. But I would be so. angry. You're, you've already taken off, you're on your way to Shanghai. It's not a, you know, it's not a short trip.

They're already, no, so once they took off from San Francisco, I think you're like six hours behind your schedule. Just, oh man, so angry. Could the pilot not just land and stay in the plane? Does you have to have a passport to actually? land in China? Could he just stay on the plane? And then a crew that's going to fly that plane next comes on and flies it back to the U.S.? That couldn't have happened? No, that could not have happened, Jeff. And stop trying to think it through. They have to turn it around and take it to

another airport so another crew can take over and fly the people to Shanghai because they will have passports. Wow. I just, I would be so angry. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. A jury in Georgia has just ordered Monsanto, the parent company Bear, actually, to pay nearly $2.1 billion in damages to a man who says the company's round-up weed killer caused his cancer. Oh, okay. So the verdict marks, I mean, it's one of the latest in a long-running series of court battles. Monsanto has faced over its roundup herbicide. The agrochemical giant says it will appeal the verdict.

Of course they will, and they want to be overturned. So the penalties awarded by this jury include $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages. This is one of the largest verdicts in a Roundup related case to date. Now, the plaintiff, John Barnes, filed his lawsuit against Monceau. Santo in 2021, seeking damages related to his non-Hodgkins lymphoma. His attorney, Kyle Finley, from Arnold and Itkin, said the verdict will help put his client in a better position to get the treatment he needs going forward.

Well, not really. He's been suing them since 2021. And yes, the jury said you get $2.1 billion, but he's not getting any of it. They're already going to appeal the verdict, so there's no money exchanging hands. so that's really not true. It's been a long road for him, and he's happy that the truth related to the product has been exposed. The verdict is an important milestone.

After another example of Monsanto's refusal to accept responsibility for poisoning people with this toxic product, I know I've got some Monsanto weed killer in my garage. I need to think twice about having it in my garage. I'll tell you that. It's interesting to me also in this story. They talk about other cases, and I, I'm sad that this guy has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

I do not wish that on anyone. I don't, you know, they believe, the jury believe that it was Monsanto-slash-Bair that caused him to get cancer. But in the story, it talks about how this was the fourth round-up-related verdict that this law firm and this Finley's team has won to date. The largest was awarded in Philadelphia in January of 2020. remember talking about that, totaling $2.25 billion.

And he claims that his law firm has many more clients. I bet. I bet. Now, Monsanto, when Bear bought them, when Bear took over Monsanto, they set aside, I think it was $16 billion to cover possible lawsuit settlements. So, I mean, they've got a little cash.

Oh, yeah. because they have more than 177,000 lawsuits. And I'm sure they have more now. Since Georgia jury said, hey, I pay that guy $2.1 billion. No kidding. They now have a lot more than $177,000 cases. However, one of the things that it talks about in this story

is the settlements that take place. So Monsanto obviously maintains that it remains committed to trying cases and argues its wider record of a roundup related litigation and continues to reinforce the safety of its products. The company said it has prevailed in 17 of the last 25 related trials and jury verdicts were reduced 90% overall in the past cases that have been finalized. So they end up making a deal for less than what the jury has decided. That's kind of disappointing. I mean, the jury decided, right? If you're the plaintiff and the jury says, yeah, you get $2 billion,

and then now you come back to the table with the deal and 90% goes away, that's kind of disconcerting. Especially if you believe in what this latest plaintiff's attorney said that the verdict will help his client into better position to get treatment he needs going forward. So does that not happen now? Apparently not. And I'm sure. Prior to appealing the verdict,

Monsanto will come to the table and say, hey, we'll give you a million. I don't know what the attorney's fees are, so maybe Monsanto says, we'll give you $5 million. And let's wrap this thing up, sign here. Do you sign it? That's a tough call.

That's a tough call because they owe you $2 billion, but you're going to be in court for the next four or five years again. And they can wait it out while you are struggling with this illness that's probably going to end up killing you before it ever ends. So you're probably going to take the deal, right? You're going to take the deal for $5 to $10 million and walk away.

And I can't blame them for that. On the other hand, if you know you're going to die and you are sick from this non-Hodgkins lymphoma and sadly you've been struggling with it all this time, you're going to wait it out because you want the money and you want to prove your point that Monsanto Bear, the parent company, caused your cancer, right?

So that's a tough call. And Monsanto's in a tough place because they are saying that it's fine and a lot of people don't believe them. Huh. They can just run a couple more commercials that'll be fine. No problem.

Just run a couple more ad campaigns on, you know, some apps, then make some companies some money. I see where, you know, they're making a big deal out of Secretary Kennedy, RFK Jr. for pushing Big Pharma ad ban.

I will say that when you watch a lot of streaming apps, they are making their money from Big Pharma. There is no doubt about it because those are the commercials you see. Does it affect anything?

I don't know. I mean, am I going to go out? I may ask my doctor about a particular drug. If I'm suffering from something that that drug says that that advertisement says that drug will help.

I may ask my doctor about that particular drug. It's probably the only reason that they're running the ads, but he wants them banned. He wants to ban them all just like cigarette ads. I mean, it's going to cost

a lot of money to a lot of broadcasting entities because they're spending big money on those pharmaceutical ads. So good luck, RFK, for banning those. And now, you know, we're going to have, we're going to have, I don't know,

where could they argue, where can they advertise anywhere is big billboard behind this yes you should ban all pharmaceutical ads on streaming applications and television but we'll put them up on our billboards no problem across america uh that big billboard ban you do not want to mess with big billboard with amex platinum 400 dollars in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug but your taste buds too That's the powerful backing of Amex.

The world wanted to let me know, hey, your job is open. Now, we take talked about Lewis said he was going to leave. He gave the Board of Governors, and really I'd like to be sit on the Board of Governors because the Postmaster General answers to the Board of Governors. But, I mean, that's a good gig to get on the Board of Governors. Anyway, we've talked about that before.

The USPS Board of Governors, that's a darn good gig. But so is Postmaster General, and I would love to do it, and I've often said that I would take the job. I'm awaiting their call. Lewis has resigned. He said that he was going to leave. He already told the board, hey, you ought to get to working on finding my replacement

because I'm going to get on out of here. And they didn't plan on it being so soon. Because he said he was going to, he was going to leave. But, you know, there was no date on that time frame. And so now there is, because it was yesterday. I'm out of here. He wrote, said, I'm resigning as effective immediately. and he put his second in command in charge.

Guy by the name of Doug Tolena, as the now, I guess, interim postmaster general. But I'm awaiting their call. I'm ready to take the job. I'm ready to turn this ship around. Now, Lewis has actually started to turn some things around. I know people are, you know, he's a strange dude. He made a bunch of money in the private sector

and became some big donor. and then they gave him, they said, hey, you've a transportation company and you know what you're doing, let's put you in charge of the postal service. And they did. And he had a 10-year plan that he started doing it. And, you know, it seems to be some of it is turning around right. This last, in the final quarter of 2024,

they made money as the first profitable period in years. So a little bit of what he was doing seemed to work for his 10-year plan. I'd like to take a full look at the 10-year plan because I have some other ideas that would help turn this ship around. But, you know, I'm waiting right here by my phone for a call. And they haven't called yet. So just let me know. Apparently, the insiders say that Lewis got into it with the Doge people. He did not appreciate.

Doge poking around He said Okay You know You guys can come in But I'm only giving you a little access And I don't like everything that you're doing

So you're going to have to poke her out That did not go over well apparently Apparently in today's world You start to be smirching Doge And stopping them They don't like it So they went back, cried to Daddy, and said, Louis de Joy is uncooperative.

Louis de Joy is uncooperative. And you don't want to do that. Daddy was unhappy. I don't know if Daddy was President Trump or Elon, probably Elon first, chain of command. And now he has resigned. And apparently they think that he resigned just to prevent a larger a larger fight and we just want it to

fine if you want to go poke around go ahead but I'm not going to be here for it and you go cry to daddy and then I'll resign okay all right so there you have it don't be messing with Doge not in today's world man not in today's world

again I'm just awaiting a phone call I'm willing to work with Doge and I'd like to come in I've got a few ideas and we could now you know turn this ship around so board of governors I await your call. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

So congratulations are in order again to Conan O'Brien. Not only was he going to be the MC for the Oscars again next year. We announced that he was going to receive the Mark Twain Award at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and for his lifetime achievement in comedy, and they had the big event Sunday night. And so he finally has received the award. He becomes the 26th recipient of the Mark Twain Prize.

Congratulations to Conan for receiving that. And it was a big event. We'll get to see it on Netflix on May 4th. If you weren't fortunate enough to be there, well, like the rest of us, we'll get to see it and watch it on Netflix beginning on May 4th. Okay. And, you know, other people, Letterman, Leno, Carlin, Whoopi, Newhart, Carol Burnett, Bill Murray, Dave Chappelle have all received this award.

And, you know, so the whole world was there, at least in the comedy world, they were all there. And I bet you they were just happy to be there because they all hate Trump. And they could make their jokes that Trump took it over. And, you know, Stephen Colbert was there. That's great. I'm glad Steve was there because nothing speaks fun. like Stephen Colbert, joking that the Kennedy Center had announced

two new board members. Bashar Assad, the ousted president of Syria, and Skeletor, a fictional supervillain. See, that's funny. That's funny because Trump, you know, took it over. Oh, I can't.

I just can't. So congratulations to Conan, and he deserves it. He's, funny and he's done he's done some very, very, very, very funny things. But I see where Nikki Glaser, Glazer, G-L-A-S-E-R,

I think it's Glazer, she was there and she did her bit at the, you know, Mark Twain Prize gala for Conan. And she said in an interview that she's thinking twice about performing

political jokes. Really? Yeah, those about President Donald Trump. Yeah, because fears about getting death threats and being detained. Are you? Now, maybe I'd like to, who are you getting the death threats from? First of all, Nikki.

And are you being detained for your jokes here in America? I think not. I don't think that is happening. You can have that fear. Go ahead. You can have that fear, but you're not being detained for your little jokes on Donald Trump.

This is still America. Is it, Jeff? Yes. Yes, it is. And I know that, you know, she's all wound up to because Donald Trump is, you know, he just appointed himself chairman. Yeah, we're taking it over. Okay. That's the way it is.

I'm taking it over and we're going to run this thing right. Okay. And Bill Burr was there. He, you know, obviously has turned into a nightmare lately. Colbert Letterman. Oh, my gosh. Just agonizing. So that'll be fun.

It'll be fun to watch. and see the looks on their face, May 4th at the Kennedy Center when they release it on Netflix. But I just, I'm concerned that Nikki is concerned because she definitely is starting to have a little bit of an issue when she's worried about being detained over jokes. That doesn't happen in this country, Nikki.

And I do believe that you're getting death threats. I don't believe that it's from MAGA people, but I do believe you're getting death. threats. I mean, I don't think, I think a lot of that is BS. It may be someone posing as a MAGA person. Like, what's her face? From Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania employee, Latarsha Brown, Latarsia Brown. So she works at City Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania. And she claimed that someone left a noose on her desk. Okay, the horror of finding a noose on your desk, first of all. So I guess that's meant to mean that she is a black lady

and she's upset because someone left a noose on her desk. And that's just racism. And I can't even work here at the community and economic development department. I just can't even work here anymore because of that. So they investigated it because, you know, no one wants to have people leaving nooses on people's desks. And the police said, well, you know, what we're going to do is we're going to check everybody's DNA here at the office

to see whose DNA, if we can rule out the people at the office and see, you know, who left the noose on your desk here in the economic development department. And all the employees said, sure, here's my DNA, except for Letters. She said no. Well, somehow they ended up with her DNA, which they probably already had on file. I don't know that, but they did end up with her DNA. And guess whose DNA was all over the news? It was hers.

Now, in her defense, she could say that she picked it up because it was on her desk and she was so angry and she picked it up and it was horrified. And that's why her DNA was on the rope. That, you know, if I'm her attorney, that's what I'm saying. But she now faces charges including making false reports and fabricating physical evidence. because why? Because it just doesn't happen in the real world anymore. It just doesn't.

Jesse Smellett would be proud. And I know Nikki is the Nikki Glazer, the comedian was worried about detainment over jokes and getting death threats. Those death threats are not coming from the people that you are making fun of. Okay? Just so we're clear.

It would be interesting to see who is making those death threats against Nicky. if they happen at all. And detainment, stop it. And getting back to Latarsia, why is she only charged with misdemeanor charges of false reporting and fabricating physical evidence? If someone actually left a noose on her desk,

for real, you know, for real, with the hatred involved in doing something like that, all hell would be breaking loose. The thunder from the gods would be coming down. And that's what she wanted. that's what she wanted to have happen. The thunder from the gods on racism. But she is the one that's the racist.

So why is it the thunder being brought down on her? I was just asking a question as all. Let's just asking a question. I hope I'm not going to be detained. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream,

or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age.

Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. So who died today? Who died today? Well, I want to mention Bill Mercer, Bill Mercer, legendary sports broadcaster here in DFW. has passed away at the age of 99. I did not give a cause of death, but Bill was 99.

I mean, he was a sports broadcaster. He taught broadcasting at UNT. Did UNT sports for years? Did wrestling? Did NFL? I mean, the guy was, you know, an amazing broadcaster and worked for years, specifically, you know, mostly here in the DFW, North Texas area. And it's very sad.

I'll tell you what, he definitely helped future broadcasters over the years. I mean, there's many broadcasters out there that learned from him. So Bill Mercer, rest in peace, dead at the age of 99. And I can't stop thinking about this story, so I've got to talk about it because it's just, it actually made me very, very sad. So I listen to local radio here in DFW when I'm, you know,

in my automobile. Yes, I listen to some podcasts from time to time or music or whatever. But yesterday, I'm listening to local radio station and the news comes on. And they talk about this story that happened over the weekend where this lady vehicle went into the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. And she was rescued and they brought her back to life. They revitalized her. They brought her back to life. And then once they got to the hospital, they realized that there was a little kid in the car. It's just so sad. And so they go back and there's no little kid in the car. I mean, they pulled the car out of the river, and so now you've got to search

for the little kid, which they did, and it took them a while, but they did find the body of this one-year-old boy. And I will say this. I don't know what caused the crash. I don't know, I don't know anything behind it. I just know, you know, she is now in a medically induced coma, but they brought her back to life after she, you know, after the car was in the river. And then they dragged the car out of the river and then they went back and to search for this little boy and his name is apparently according to the story they believe his name is Jonas Allen but they weren't sure this one year old kid and it's just so sad so they find the kid you know in the river why so many questions a it just broke my heart this one year old kid and he's done nothing to the but come into this world and bring a light to it

and he is now, you know, floating in a river because he's not in a car seat. In today's world, you have a one-year-old, and he's not in a car seat? I mean, come on. What are we doing? And how did we get in the river? Was it on purpose?

And now she's, and if it wasn't on purpose, if and when she wakes up from her medically induced coma, now she realizes that she was saved and her child wasn't. I mean, it's just, I bet I can't. haven't stopped thinking about it since I heard the news report of it. So, I mean, I just, so I'm sharing it with you. It's just so sad. And I know that the family, you know, is all upset and they should be and they have a right to be. I just, I want to know the rest of the story. I want to know

why she went into the river, what caused her to go into this river with her one-year-old son, who ended up dying. And then they, we saved her, but not the base. And it's just so sad. And I just, I don't wish that on anyone. But the one-year-old boy, I mean, this kid, a little kid, old Jonas, man, a kid never did anything to anybody. Oh, just the whole thing is sad. Rest in peace to Jonas Allen.

I believe that's his name. At least that's what they assume is his name. Dead at the age of one. At the age of one. So sad. And in our not dead yet, but soon to be possibly. 23 and me has filed. for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

and its co-founder and CEO resigned. Oh, okay, well, that's good. No worries. The co-founder and CEO will remain on the board of 23 and me. Oh, that's special. She was trying to buy the dump anyway. Remember we talked about it?

Ann Wajitsky, W-O-J-C-I-C-K-I. I think that's how you pronounce it, right? It's Wajoski. It's Veseschi. Anyway. Now my girl's off today. I let her have the day off. It's, yeah, she wanted it off. What are you going to do?

You can't say no. No, no one left the news on her desk. She just wanted the day off, so she's not here. Anyway, so they filed for bankruptcy, and they're telling you now, yeah, you might want to delete all your information on 23 and me. I am so happy that I did do this. I wanted to so many times. And, you know, to break into 23 and me, well, you know, not really, but just go on to 23

and me. and find out, you know, with the bloodline and everything. It's so fascinating to me. And no. And then I don't have it because now what do you do? All your information is in there. They claim it's fine. Don't even worry about it.

It's fine. Oh. Okay. You sure about that? Yeah. Did you guys have a big data breach a couple years ago? Yeah, but we're fine now. Don't worry about.

We've got everything under control. Oh, okay. Now, Aboljitsky, the CEO, former CEO, who now is just a board member, was trying to buy the company and let it go private, which the board turned down and said, no, have a nice day. So now they're telling you,

and I don't think they can. Since they file for bankruptcy, I don't think they can go in and delete your information. So you can. So if you have stuff in, 23 and me, you may want to go in and delete as much as you can. I don't know that you can ever get rid of it all. We've all been all our information is out there, right?

Right? You know that. Okay. But if you've filled out and we're part of 23 and me and, you know, you have, you've given them quarts of blood for your genetic testing and you want to look at your bloodline and who else is in your bloodline and who the serial killers are, get it out of there quickly. I don't know who's going to buy it.

Who knows there was reporting that some drug company would buy it? There's a lot of information in 23 and Me. I'm sure it's all be safe. Your information will be safe if you don't delete it.

I think it's only supposed to last a couple of days. We'll see. But the trial on Gerard DiPardototot, you know him, you love him, the French actor,

that of sexually assaulting two women started this week. And we'll see. Gerard de Perdot is 76 now. And he's accused of having groped a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director during the filming in 2021 of Las Voiselle's the green shutters. And he denies any wrongdoing. And the actor, if it found guilty,

could face up to five years in prison and a fine of about 75,000 euros, which is $81,000 if convicted. Are they going to convict Gerard Departon? I don't think so. And even if they do, if they find him guilty. You throw him in prison in France? I mean, he's a god in France, right?

He's not as bad as Harvey Weinstein. But we'll see. You know, he's had this, you know, huge career. And now this, you know, Me Too movement in France is all about Gerard DiPardo being a dirtbag of his alleged boorish behavior off screen has made the headline. Now, he's been accused of formal complaints of misconduct by more than 20 women. But so far, only the sexual assault case has proceeded to court. Some others were dropped because of lack of evidence.

the statute of limitations. Oh, what? They didn't change the laws in France to make so you could go to court and charge him with those? Don't worry, that's coming. If they find him guilty in this, that will definitely happen.

Don't you worry about that? So we'll see. I know that there's other cases, like he's got another case I thought we talked about too. They've been after him for a while now for being a dirt back. Apparently, they claim that he trapped

the set dresser with his legs before groping her waist and breast in front of witnesses. She says the actor also used obscene language, you bastard. And as he got pulled away by bodyguard, so there's, if that actually happened, then there's witnesses. The assistant director, Alenza DiPardo, groped her both on the set and in the street. Okay. So there's got to be witnesses, right? So we'll see.

It was only supposed to last a couple days. that started this week. We'll see what happens to this case. I mean, he's really sick, right? He's got quadruple heart bypass. He's got diabetes. And the court-appointed medical experts said, yeah, he can fit to stand trial,

but yeah, I don't think the hearing should exceed six hours. And he needs a definite 15-minute pause and a snack every three hours. Me too. Me too. I need that as well. So we'll see what happens with Geron. de Pardo. He could go down this week with his sexually assaulting of two women.

We shall see. And another thing that we'll see is if a national security advisor, Mike Walsh for the Trump administration, still has a job after today, after Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, said that, hey, you know, I got a signal group chat where they were discussing military plans taking on the Yemen's Houthi rebels. Wait, what?

Yeah, I was on a, they were on a signal chat, and I was on the group. It was on the group chat. Oh, okay. So our defense secretary and our vice president and our national security advisor and the Atlantic editor-in-chief, all talking about details of military plans.

Oh, okay. So we'll see if Mike Walt's gonna weather that storm because, look, I get how it could happen. but it shouldn't. No kidding. And we're just using the signal app for communications on military plans. Kind of weird. Not sure I understand that whole thing.

But somebody's going to have to take the fall for that. And I'm sure it's going to be, it ain't going to be Trump. And it ain't going to be headset. And it ain't going to be Vance. So if it's going to be anybody, it's going to be the U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. So I would be surprised to have him say, yeah, I need to move on. Yeah, no kidding.

All right, let's get out of here. I'll just do the joke of the day. In honor of Gerard de Pardo. In honor of Gerard de Pardo, I do this joke. This was sent to me. I didn't write it. Okay, I didn't write it. Don't come and have me detained.

Don't send me any threats because I didn't write it. it. Okay, this canvas was emailed to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Why were shopping carts invented? I don't know, Jeff. Why were shopping carts invented? To teach women to walk upright. See, that's just not.

That's just not. I mean, is that an actual history lesson? I, you know, I don't know. I don't know if it is or not. I'm guessing it's not.
