With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Not having enough sex may have deadly consequences. Huh.

So women who have sex less than one. once a week, maybe more likely to die early than those who engage in more regular intercourse, according to the results of a new study. While this same impact was not observed in men, the researchers did note that more frequent sex reduces the chances of an early grave in both men and women with depression. That's good. Sexual activity is important for overall cardiovascular health, possibly due to reductuary. of heart rate variability and the blood flow increase.

Using findings from our study, we can infer that sexual activity broadly defined may and merely rate loss of function that can occur with the age and the progression of heart disease. So to reach these conclusions, researchers analyzed data from 14,542 individuals in the United States recorded as part of a national health survey conducted between 2005 and 2010 in total 2,267 provided details of their sex lives with 94.4% of these people claiming to to get, have a little bit of at least once a month, while 38.4% said they did not, they did so more than once a week. Okay, so 94.4% of those, the 2,267 said business once a month, 38.4% said they had bidness more than once a week. All right. That's good. Previous studies have

indicated that the average U.S. adult has sex 54 times a year or about once a week. So the researchers decided to classify people into those with high and low sexual frequency, depending on whether they had intercourse more than, more or less than once a week, 52 times a year. So overall, women with low sexual frequency were 1.7 times more likely to have died from any cause by the end of 2015 than those with busier sex lives. So get on it. That's all I'm saying. Now the study, they don't say in here that you should have a business once a week to save your life. But I would say that my conclusion from this study is that you should.

Plus, the more sex women have, we're saving your lives. The men are saving your life by having more sex with you. So you're welcome and get on that. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. We told you earlier this week

that the demon of screaming heard his voice, Stephen Tyler, heard his vocal cords, and that Aerosmith is touring no more. They cannot tour any longer. Then we find out that Taylor Swift, her concerts have been canceled over a terror threat. Organizers call off three eras to her concerts that were scheduled to take place in Vienna this week, saying the Austrian government had confirmed a planned terrorist attack on the stadium. authorities said they had arrested two extremists, including a 19-year-old Islamic State sympathizer,

believed to be planning a potential attack on the concerts. The concerts were sold out, and the 170,000 fans were expected to attend. Ah, yeah, you get your money back. Have a nice day. Take care. I'm sure this isn't the first time that there's been terror threats for concert, but it is fascinating that they just canceled them. We're not going to take any chances.

We cancel them. Have a nice day. It's over. that it does fascinate me. So we've got the big-time sports season coming up here in the United States of America between college and professional football. And there's a lot of people that show up at those games. So I'm hoping that security is on that.

Oh, they are, Jeff. Don't worry about it. Okay. I won't. Then we have Journey and Def Leopard who have canceled their UK-Ireland leg. of their tour. They claim that this is circumstances beyond their control. Really?

Huh, that's interesting. So it's just another legal issue between Jonathan Kane and Neil Sean. So I guess Def Leppard says they're going to continue their U.S. stadium tour in September. But, okay, I guess. So in an apparent rerun of competing 2022 suits related to a banned credit card, Kane's latest court filings accuses Sean of maxing out an American Express account

with a million dollar limit. His suit claims Sean has spent up to $1,000 per night. So Journey's finances have reportedly been in such disarray that the crew and production company couldn't be paid. Holy cow.

So situations like that have begun impacting the band's reputation throughout the music industry. According to the suit, the band's actual online. stage performance is, I guess, the only thing that hasn't suffered. They're still doing great on stage. Oh, okay. So, Kane's proposed solution to these issues is restructuring Freedom 2020, Inc., which he co-founded with Sean to oversee Journey's touring operations. The business apparently

operates with only a two-seat board held by Kane and Sean. The new petition is asking for a court-ordered custodian to act as the third board member in order to break the tie votes. So, He has spent up to 10,000 a night. Wow. With he and the wife, the maximum credit card limit was a million dollars on the AMX credit card, which has been maxed out. He and his wife had private jet expenditures,

which according to Cain was unauthorized. Furthermore, Sean has reportedly also exceeded the usage of the $1,500 limit on hotel charges alongside the AMX credit card and hotel charge disputes, the two journey members, Crane and Sean, in their roles as two directors of the Freedom 2020, are now upset about that, and they're suing. So instead of continuing with the tours, no, we're calling it off, it's over. Now, again, Def Leopard said they were going to continue their American leg, which starts at Arlington, at Globe Life Field, right here in Arlington, Texas.

Now, I know it's a misprint because they're all this year in 2024 from August to September. And a few days from now, August 12th is when Def Leopard is supposed to show up in Arlington, Texas. But according to this, they don't show up until 2054. So, you got a time. The article has the August 12th date, 2054. Like I said, I know it's a misprint. but it did make me laugh. Then in another rock and roll story,

Wes Scantlin, and you know Wes, the front man for Puddle of Mud, who doesn't know Wes? The front man of puddle of mud was arrested this week after a standoff with police following a traffic stop.

So he's 52 now and he was stopped in Burbank, California. Police realized he had an outstanding warrant for having a weapon at an airport that's when they reportedly asked him to step out of his hummer he refused the police eventually called in a crisis negotiator after that person had no luck scantlin was reportedly pepper sprayed that was not enough to get him out of his hummer and that's when swat and you know you don't want to mess with the burbank swat team was reportedly brought in and a swat team broke scantlin's window shot him with more pepper spray and pepper

and brought him to give himself up. They should he just got out, bro. So the website said Scala was taken to the local hospital to flush out his eyes, was arrested for resisting arrest and his outstanding warrant, and he has a court date stated for August 20th. The site said the singer has had number of run-ins with the law over the years, and the band has six studio albums. So he's got an outstanding warrant.

Okay, so they got him. with a gun at an airport. Okay. And so that's still an outstanding warrant on that. He probably didn't show up for the court date or something. And so then he refuses to get out. That's an issue. I'm surprised, you know, he didn't have any other drugs in the car or he got rid of

him before they arrested him. Maybe that's why he didn't want to get out. He was getting rid of the drugs that was in his car. I don't know why you wouldn't get out. Instead, you just added all this mess. on top of yourself. It's really, really, really strange. And Burbank had a busy day. Come on, get out of your car. We're going to arrest you. Nope. Well, we're going to send in a negotiator. Nope. Okay. Well, we're going to send in our SWAT team now to get you out of the car on a regular

So we have new news now about Calypso, the Boeing NASA Starliner at the ISS. We talked, I don't know, this week, and it last is never ending story for me. me because I made the joke that SpaceX was going to have to go up and rescue them right after

they said they couldn't come back the first time. And now that actually may be happening. They've been in space now 60 plus days. The astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams have got to be out of their minds. I know that they keep calling it a data gathering exercise. And they're not stuck, but they are stuck at the ISS because they're afraid with all the problems that the Calypso Starliner is having that it's not going to make it back to Earth. Now, they're talking about sending it back alone without humans on it, and hopefully it makes it, but that way they'll feel better if it doesn't, right? And so this weekend, we had actual reporting that, hey, you know, maybe we need to,

I mean, we need to send up a SpaceX dragon and bring them home. So the joke is actually becoming. me the truth because they're afraid to put people they claimed originally they weren't afraid they were just going through the motions and even with the problems that in an emergency they could bring them back well then why don't you bring them back well it's not an emergency oh okay so now uh they and we talked about uh at one point i feel like um SpaceX goes up there this month There's a scheduled crew dragon mission to the ISS on the 18th of this month. And I thought, well, that, okay, so we bring them back then.

Well, not so fast. Apparently, I don't know why you wouldn't send them back then. If there's not, if there isn't any room, I just, I don't know. Because now they're saying, well, we're going to send a, it's possible that a, SpaceX launch could go up in two months, but they wouldn't come back until February. Wait, what? Yeah, there's a contingency plan that they're saying

that they would launch a two-person crew on SpaceX 9 mission in September, but still wouldn't bring the crew back until February of next year? Are you kidding me? I mean, let's put them on this one that's going up this time. I, holy cow. Boeing and NASA, that is a nightmare. And the government needs to say, you know, we've wasted an awful lot of money on you,

but we're just going to give the rest. I'm sure that Bezos wants a little extra in his space program. Go ahead. But he's still nowhere close to what Elon is doing and just let Elon take over. And NASA just ask, Elon whenever you need some help. And Boeing, how about you focus

on your airplane issues and let's not worry about the space issues, okay? All right, good. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh my. I just watched a video from the ISS with the

astronauts and I want to apologize because I've been calling on the astronauts Sunni Williams and she called herself Sunny on the video so I'm sorry I know

I know it's S-U-N-I and I just configured it with Sunni but no I watched a video with her actually speaking her and Butch Willmore the other two astronauts for the Starliner and she gave a quick tour which was amazing how cramped it is

and fascinating as well. But she called herself Sunny, so I apologize. And Sonny, I've been calling you the wrong name, the wrong first name, and I apologize. I hope you get home sooner than what they're telling you. Okay, so I see a story that talks about how magician David Copperfield, you know him, you love them, has a $7 million Manhattan penthouse at the Galleria on East.

57th Street and he purchased it it's a multi-level penthouse it's beautiful he purchased it back in 1997 for about 7.4 million dollars okay and there's the story about how he has just left it in utter disrepair they claim now there's a lawsuit pending that he there's at least three million dollars in damages to the 15,000 square foot unit and other tenants homes uh this could wreck the entire building, according to some of the investigators, inspectors, whatever

you want to call them. So the photos from inside the apartment sits on 54th floor, 53rd and 54th floor, might even be three stories. Shows a dilapidation and decay. Soiled bathtub, stained carpeting, peeling paint, gaping

holes in the ceiling. There's unrepared water damage that it presents a risk to the concrete structure of the building and there's mold and mildew. Holy cow. I don't know why you would let something go like that. This is also the same building, I guess. So Eric Clapton's four-year-old son tragically fell from the 53rd story window.

That may be the actual same apartment because the same apartment. because this is 53rd or 54th floor, I thought. Anyway, so Copperfield, 67 now. They claim that these pictures are old, and the apartment pet house does not look like this any longer. Oh, okay. But they've been trying to get it taken care of so that he could, you know, they could sell it.

The building has had architects come in, inspectors, investigators, all of them have come in. And why would you do that? I mean, it's just, it's not like David, is David hurting for money these days? I mean, he couldn't sell the dump? My gosh, prices are through the roof now in Manhattan and New York. You bought it back in the 90s for $7 million. And you could have, I mean, with just minimal upkeep, you sell that thing for $20 million in

today's world. Now you're not getting anything for it. Wow. I mean, it looks bad. It looks really bad. I remember driving by a house and I was living in St. Petersburg, Florida. And there was a corner house that I used to love.

I just loved the way it looked. I loved the way it was laid out. I loved the lot. And I thought, you know, at some point, I wouldn't mind maybe buying that house or at least, you know, renting it or whatever because I really liked it. And it was in a neighborhood

that we were already living in. And it would have been nice to have a home in that neighborhood. Anyway, so I see one day it's wide open. There's a truck in the driveway and nobody's there. There's no, I used to see a guy come out of the house every now and then, you know, and stand in the driveway. And so then I, I mean, all the doors and windows are open and there's a work truck in the driveway. So I'm like, I'm stopping. I want to see, see this house.

I want to see what's going on. I go in and it was just destroyed. I mean, gunk hanging from the AC filters, the two. toilets were broken, if not just smashed with goop in them, tubs mashed up, the floors destroyed, walls destroyed. It was terrible. It was just terrible. I still love the house from the outside. And the guy who was in there was the neighbor who said, yeah, I bought it. They sent the guy who lived there to prison. And so I bought it when he went to prison. I thought, damn, I should have stopped in earlier. So then he fixed it up. And obviously.

he moved in and then he gave his old house to his daughter or something and just shoot I just lost out on it that's all so anyway David Copperfield back to his penthouse it's in complete disarray or at least that's what the lawsuit

said and you think that maybe he could you know maybe abracadabra and make it all go away maybe that's what this was maybe he's lost his powers and he was trying to get it back and the whole time nothing was happening He was trying to fix it with his magical powers, and nope, nothing ever happened.

So maybe that was it. Maybe David Copperfield has lost his powers. I will say, David, since you've lost your powers and you need help selling this place or finding a new place, you know, you need to go to real estate agents. I trust.com. In fact, no matter who you are, if you're looking to buy or sell a home, go to real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agents in your area,

someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, and also someone you can trust. Huh, that's the name. Real estate agents I trust. Name pretty much says it all, doesn't it? So if you're thinking about buying, selling a home, as I said, or both, really, get in touch with real estate agents I trust. Look, Glenn started this a while.

ago because he had so many trials and tribulations trying to sell well more than one house but everybody talks about the the house in Connecticut which he ended up selling for under 40 bucks which he shouldn't have we all said man that's he shouldn't do that and uh he said i don't care i just want to get rid of it so that's when he decided that uh you know he's had such hassles with real estate agents i've got to do something and i'm probably not the only one and he was right. So he started real estate agents I trust because he didn't want you going through all the same hassles he had to every time he moved. A pretty smart idea. Real estate agents I trust.com.

it said that Tony had a CTF cup. and the handles broke off. Well, you know, how about you buy a new one? I didn't say this other cameo. I probably should have. But, you know, the handles broke off. I mean, what? You ran out of glue?

We couldn't glue it back on. Maybe you use it without the handles. Maybe you buy a new one. I don't know, something. Instead of whining to me about having a cup with the handles broken off.

Okay, I've had this story in the fat pile for quite some time now, and I just, it's been about a week, and I haven't been able to get to it. So I'm going to get to it today.

A live two-foot eel, this is the headline, a live two-foot eel, choose through man's intestines after he put it up his anus. Yes, how much fun can you have? with an eel. Well, let's find out. So the Vietnamese doctors removed a live two-foot-long eel from a man's abdomen that had chewed through his intestines after he put the eel up his anus. So the 31-year-old Indian National was admitted to Vietuk Hospital in Hanoi with excruciating abdominal pain. Yeah, no kidding. So apparently doctors learned that he had slipped the fish, the eel, up his backside earlier in the day, and then it tried to escape. So the eel had bitten through the patient's rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity,

which is, I mean, come on now. So then they took x-rays and it showed the eel skeleton laying inside his abdominal cavity, and they were going to try to just pull it out. But they realized that my man had put a line. up there as well. I guess the lime was to block the eel from getting out.

And so then I had to slice open his torso and they found the live eel stretching more than 25 inches long roughly 4 inches in diameter. The creature and the lime were both removed. And there's pictures of the eel and the lime for your

viewing pleasure as well. I'll hold it up right now for those of you watching and you can see the picture here on chewing the fat. So they checked for additional foreign objects hiding inside the man, which is probably a good idea, but none was there. They also performed a colostomy to prevent fecal matter from passing through the cut made by the eels bite. Now, they claim that people shouldn't do this. The doctors are like, yeah, you should never insert live animals through your anus. no matter what kind of intense sensations you think you're going to receive because of the

unforeseeable consequences. Uh, thank you. So, I mean, he said, no, the docks at the hospital, at the Vietnam hospital, said, yeah, we've removed bottle caps and bottles and adult toys from patients. This is the first case involving a live animal. It's not the first time in Vietnam, though, because in March, another man had an eel up his butt. It was in a different district

at the Huy Ha district medical center in Quangangang province. But it was the same thing going on. It started to turn into quite a thing in Vietnam. Maybe we should, I don't know, put out some PSAs.

Hello. You know, only in Vietnamese. Let them know that it's not a smart idea to put live eels up Uranus. Okay, well, as long as we're talking about animals, we can talk about one of the stories that I talked about this morning.

I touched on when I joined Brad over there on Mojo 5-0, which I do Thursday mornings. And actually, Brad and I do a Saturday morning live show as well, which you can catch on my ex-account at Jeffrey JFR. They found a perfectly preserved woolly mammoth DNA discovered in Serbia, and that could help resurrect the species. Yeah, that's what we need. Yes, send it over here to our scientists here in Dallas,

as they're trying to make it happen. They've assembled the genome of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth using first-of-its-kind fossil DNA fragments on Earth in Serbia, and the researchers are now a step closer to resurrecting the extinct giant beasts. Yay! Who doesn't want willy mammoths wandering around? I mean, it would be cool to see them,

but we've got to keep in zoos. and support zoos more than me, and we need to keep the woolly mammoth in the woolly mammoth section of the zoo. Now, archaeologists also have discovered a tiny arm bone on an Indonesian island of Flores, belonging to the smallest ancient human species on record. So they claim that this sheds light on the evolution of the homo-fluoresceicin as this. The scientific name is homo Florisiansis. Yeah, okay, thank you.

Appreciate it. What, have my girl on vacation or something? Apparently so. The scientific name is homo Florisianzusiensis. Yeah, I got it. Thank you. Thank you.

This is an early relative to ancient humans. So the 700,000-year-old incomplete fossil measures three and a half half inches, 3.5 inches long, and makes up the upper arm bone known as the humerus. So they're nicknamed the hobbits due to their diminutive size. And apparently they stood at roughly 3.5 feet tall and co-existed with unique island fauna, such as pygmy elephants, rabbit-sized rabbits, or rabbit-sized rats.

I guess a rabbit-sized rabbit-sized rabbit would be correct. and a rabbit-sized rats and a Komodo dragon. So there was bands of midgets, I'm sorry, hobbits, running around on this island. So the discovery of the bone and other fossils suggest that the homo pleuriscences. There's no need for you to get testy. Sorry.

is a phenomenon known as island dwarfism. The findings also support the hypothesis that I'm not going to bring him back into the game again. Homo Florescius. Homo Floresiensis. Yeah, I got it. Thank you. Thank you so much for helping me out on that. It is a descendant from Homo erectus,

an ancient hominin species that arose in Asia and became stranded on Flores. So we got that going for us. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-8665-3-1-2-600 or visit comex Ontario.ca. Oh no. I just clicked on the update for the medal count at the Olympics.

And that is very, very disheartening. So we are in first place, the United States of America is in first place for the total metal count. We have 95. As we, as of this recording on the 8th of August, 2024, we have 95 total medals. However, China is back in the lead for the most gold medals. This cannot stand. We have 27th.

They have 28. I will not allow this to happen. We must. Now, for sure, right, we've got the two basketball goals that we haven't, that we're, you know, probably going to win. So that gets us in the lead with 29 over 28, if everything were to stop now. But there's other events happening.

So we cannot, we that can't stand. We've got to pick up the pace. Now we have NFL preseason begins pretty much in earnest. I mean, I know we had the Hall of Fame game last week, but big deal. but we have the NFL preseason which starts tonight pretty much in earnest. So that'll be fun. We're getting back into the swing of football season, baby, NFL and college, just days away, days away.

And then I see where Jim Harbaugh, who the former head coach of the University of Michigan, who is now the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL, he has been, if he ever goes back to college football, he can't go back for a year. So if he goes back to college football, he won't be able to coach for his first year. He's being banned from college athletics until 2028 for unethical conduct. Wait, that's not what I heard. So this says he's effectively banned from college athletes until 2028 for unethical conduct. So he could go back to college football after 2028.

Is that what they're saying? Yes, that's exactly what they're saying. I misunderstood what I heard yesterday. So what I heard yesterday was that if he comes back to college, the way I understood it, and I understood it wrong, was that if he goes back to college, then that first year, he gets locked out, right? He can't coach.

So a team would have to say, yeah, we want you to be our coach, but you have to wait a year. We have to officially say you're back so that you can be bad for a year. No. He has to wait. if he returns to college into college football within the next four years. Okay, so there's recruitment violations, and there's a 48-page decision that several times suggested the coach was not truthful with investigators. Oh, no.

So he has effectively banned him from college athletics until August of 2020. Okay. I think, and I could be wrong on this, I think he'll be fine. And so I don't think he has to worry. I mean, there was some serious kind of, we had the signs stealing controversy. We had some recruiting violations with some. He bought some kid a hamburger when he wasn't supposed to. He reached out and talked to some players when he wasn't supposed to. I think that's what got him was the COVID during COVID.

he was recruiting when he wasn't supposed to be. Come on. Okay. All right. I thought with the NIL deal, you know, that doesn't matter anymore. You can recruit anytime you want. Is that wrong? NCAA?

It is? Oh, okay. Never mind. So I know Boeing. We talked about Boeing and their issues with their starliner. And maybe they should be concerned with, you know, their airlines. Well, I know that they have a new CEO. I applied for the job.

Apparently didn't get it. This new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, will become the aerospace company's new CEO, starting today, as a matter of fact. He is the new CEO setting behind the big desk today. Outgoing head, Dave Calhoun, get out, have a nice day, take care. So Kelly Arutberg is the former CEO of Aeronautic Technologies provider in, okay, Rockwell Collins. And so he inherits all of this, adding about the Boeing Starliners, the spaceships, and the airlines. I know that they had a big hearing about the Alaska Airlines flight that, remember, you know, the door panel blew off in January. The NTSB had a big hearing.

I think Tuesday. Now, I wonder if he showed up. He wasn't, he was not supposed to, he was supposed to start today. of August as the new CEO. I wonder, it didn't say in the story that he was there. But, uh, they didn't lose any passengers. They thought they did. The flight attendant said, we saw the big hole and I'm sure we've lost, uh, passengers. They had 171 passengers at six crew members. They did not. Uh, eight passengers, uh, reported minor injuries. So they did, there was no loss of life. Good. Uh, happy about that. Uh, but they, they said she saw,

the door panel was missing and noticed five empty seats. I said there's a hole in the plane and the back of the plane. I'm sure we've lost passengers. No kidding. I think I was able to blurt out. I think we have a hole and we might have lost passengers. And then it seemed like I just lost contact. And I tried calling back, tried speaking loudly into the phone.

I couldn't hear anything. So anyway, so there's a big problem at Boeing and the safety culture needs a lot of work at Boeing. so we'll see what happens now that they have the new CEO in hand at Boeing and see if that person can turn it around. Maybe we take a break on the space. It's a lot of money, though. It's a lot of money. I remember I offered my services for, I believe, less than half of what the outgoing CEO is making, if I remember properly. But, you know, they still went with this other person.

All right, good luck. You know, I was reading a post about, you. EPS Airlines and talks about how, and I don't know if this is real, but it's funny. This post talks about that after every flight, and I'm sure this happens with, you know, every, every airline. UPS pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. So the mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then the pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. and this particular post talks about how don't ever say that ground crews don't have a sense of humor. So this is actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots and solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.

Pilot, left inside main tire almost needs replacement. Solution, almost replaced left inside main tire. Pilot, test flight, okay, except Autoland, very rough. Solution, Autoland, not installed on this aircraft. That wouldn't make it rough. Pilot, something loose in cockpit. Solution, something tightened in cockpit. Pilot, dead bugs on windshield.

Solution, live bugs on back order. Pilot, autopilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. Solution cannot reproduce. problem by the ground. Pilot, evidence of leak on right main landing gear. Solution. Evidence removed. Pilot. A DME volume, unbelievably loud. Solution, DMV volume set to more believable levels. Very, very funny. Pilot, friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. Solution, that's what friction locks are for.

Pilot, IFF, inoperative in off mode. Solution, IFF, always inoperative in off mode. Pilot, suspect in crack in windshield. Solution, suspect you're right. Pilot, number three, engine missing. Solution, engine found on right wing after brief search. Pilot aircraft handles funny Solution aircraft warned

To straighten up Fly right and be serious That's funny Pilot target radar hums Reprogram target radar with lyrics Pilot Mouse in cockpit Solution

Cat installed Pilot noise coming from under instrument panel Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer took hammer away from midget. Really funny. And most airlines should, I mean,

someone should release those because, you know, I mean, this proves that they're actually, they actually care. I know that they're, these are joke ones, but these complaint sheets get filed

and, you know, things are looked at and taken care of. Now, as far as commercial airlines, I mean, they have quick turnarounds. So, Yeah, things are going to get missed. That was my point behind the Boeing thing.

It's not all Boeing's fault. I know there was big issues at Boeing, but there's also big issues on the ground and with the airlines and their maintenance crew. Some of the stuff has to be looked at and known about, right? So it just got overlooked through the whole thing and we're just going to blame it on Boeing. Yes, that's what we're going to do, Jeff.
