It has been too long since we have seen each other. Gosh darn it. It is so good to see you. Thank you. Thank you for listening to chewing the fat. I appreciate it. And, well, you listening to the show should appreciate it as well. So yesterday we talked a little bit about bird flu jumping to humans.

Huh. That's strange, especially when they said the risk of infection for humans is low. Well, then we find out that the largest fresh egg producer in the United States, Cal Main Foods, Inc. And if you were to ask, who do you think is the largest egg producer in the U.S.? Cal Maine Foods Incorporated rolls right off the tongue? They have temporarily halted production at a plant in the Texas panhandle due to an outbreak

of a bird flu. And they they killed about 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets. And for those of you that, you know, are unfamiliar with pullets, those are young adolescent hens. So now we could just add to that 82 million that we talked about yesterday that have been killed since 2022. And don't forget about the dairy cows that have tested positive for

bird flu in several states around the country. And also remember that we have two people in the United States now that have tested positive for bird flu. But despite all that, you, you look tremendous today. And don't let anyone tell you different. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I think I'm a fan of the Botswana president Magwitsti. M-O-K-G-W-E-E-T-S-I.

Magwitzi, M-A-S-I-S-I-I. He's the president of Botswana, and I apologize, if I have pronounced your name wrong, Mr. President. He has now offered to send 20,000. elephant's to Germany because the European country's Environment Ministry called for limiting imports

on hunted trophies so he's pissed and he's saying no that's going to hurt our economy here and my nation of Botswana

we have been over run by exploding elephant population as a result of conservation efforts. Herds of the massive animals have been destroying crops, causing property damage, and trampling people. I mean, last year, an elephant herd trampled a Botswana soldier to death. Okay, now, I want to stop there for a moment. You're a Botswana soldier.

Now, I know you're an overwhelming force. you're done, right? But you kind of figure, look, are those elephants coming at me? I'm a soldier. Do they not arm the Botswana soldiers? I mean, doesn't he at least say,

hold up, Mr. Elephant? At least gets a shot off, try to move the herd in another direction? I mean, he's got to have more than, I realize that you're not bringing down an elephant with just, yeah, the elephant might laugh at you and keep coming. But, on the other hand,

the elephant the herd at least might hear and go the other direction. So he got trampled. And I'm very sorry that the Botswana soldier was trampled to death. So anyway, hunting, according to the Mr. President of Botswana, helps keep their numbers in check and provides critical sources of income for some residents. Germans should live together with animals in the way you're trying to tell us to. Amen. So he's ready. He's saying that more than 130,000 elephants, Rome, Botswana. That's a third of the world's elephant population. So I wonder if, you know, there's a taxi dermy

joint outside of Houston called Conroe Taxi Nermie. And they do a lot of work and they do, you know, work from all over the country. I had an uncle. Well, I mean, if we want to get technical technical about it. He was actually my second cousin. He was my mom's age, so it was my mom's cousin, so I always called him uncle. Anyway, he was a big world hunter and a big game hunter. And he had just a massive room of all these stuffed

animals. Stuffed animals. They were just stuffed animals. They weren't real animals. They were just stuffed. And that's what Conroe Taxidermy does outside of Houston down there. That's they just stuff animals. for people. That's all they do. I wonder, I mean, business got to be booming in Botswana. I mean, he's had to have been to Botswana. I got to talk to my man down there at Conroe Taxi,

Jeremy. But anyway, in 2014, Botswada thought they would play along, and they banned a trophy hunting. And then in 2019, they decided, you know what? There's too damn many elephants roaming around here. We need to get the hunting quotas up and bring in some people to kill these things and we need to up the old elephant trophy business and that's what they did so now France, Belgium,

Australia and many other countries are banning hunting trophy trade so I guess you could go out and hunt right? If I'm living in those countries I guess I could go to Botswana and go through the brush and then

a few times and drop one and then send it back here to the U.S. to Conroe Taxidermy, and they'll stuff it, and I'll have a stuffed elephant, but I won't be able to get it into my country. So are they going to have to sneak it into my country? Okay.

And that's going to be tough since, you know, the ports are shut down. I've got to be able to sneak in a stuffed elephant when the Baltimore port is down. So Botswana is like, hey, I tell you what, We'll send you 20,000 elephants, and you can see what it's like to have elephants roaming around and stomping out your military men.

How about that, Germany? How about you just shut your mouth about what we're doing over here in Botswana, okay? That is awesome. You know, speaking of the Baltimore Bridge, the Francis Scott Key Bridge, or just the Key Bridge, I wouldn't want to give credit to Francis Scott Key. that guy. My gosh. Anyway, cleanup has started already,

which, I mean, they've moved tons of debris out of the river already, which is fantastic. I would hope, I mean, these engineers are starting to cut and lift the steel wreckage from the bridge and there's live streams of the cleanup happening. I would hope that it's a two-pronged effect. Now, I've not been in these meetings. I mean, obviously it should be more than two-pronged effect,

but, you know, we should be also moving in to start building. Like, I mean, we're, as we're getting rid of all the debris and finally getting to the bodies that are still underwater and have not been rescued, we need to, you know, do that as soon as we can, obviously. But we need to start, say, on the other side of where this main wreckage, you know, I hope we're cleaning up one side first.

not just higley-pigley picking up the middle of the river. Because let's go ahead and pick up some rubble over here and then start building the new bridge. So that as we are picking up all the debris, we're also building a new bridge. I know it's a, look, I am not a bridge builder. I am not a government official. I'm not a harbor master.

Any of that. I just pretend to be one. But I would like to maybe have that happening. I don't call me crazy I would just be something that I would be doing and I also see now where the owner and manager of the cargo ship that rammed into the bridge filed a court petition seeking to limit their legal liability

huh so apparently this is what they do it's every day so company's limit of liability petition is a routine but important procedure for cases litigated under the U.S. Maritime Law. So a federal court in Maryland ultimately decides who's responsible and how much they owe for what could become one of the costliest catastrophes of its kind.

Yeah, they're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. And whenever you start reaching numbers like, well, you know, originally we told you 400 million, and now we're up to 800 million, it's going to be over a billion. for sure. So the joint filing between Singapore-based

Grace Ocean Private Limited, which owns the Dolly, which is, you know, the ship that hit the brunch, and a Synergy Marine Point Limited, also based in Singapore, is the ship's manager. Have we even heard from the captain yet?

I don't really, anyway, just a side note. So the joint filing seeks to cap the company's liability at roughly 43.6 million. Ha! That's got it. There's no way. Let's see. The vessel itself is valued at 90 million and was owed over 1.1 million of income from the freight.

The estimate also deducts two major expenses at least $28 million in repair costs and at least $19.9 million in salvage costs. Because this is just for the ship, this has nothing to do with the bridge. So this is, if you're not familiar, and I know many of you aren't, the companies file under a pre-Civil War provision of the 1851 Maritime Law that allows them to seek to limit their liability of the value of the vessels remains after the casualty. Yeah, so this is all about the ship. They're going to be nailed for some of this bridge cost too. But it's all an ongoing nightmare.

And I just hope that we are actually working with the actually. working with the experts to salvage and build at the same time so that it doesn't take, I don't know, 10 years like they said. Let's get this thing, let's have it so that when we're done getting all the wreckage out and we can open up the river again so that the port can actually be open at least somewhat again. at least get rid of the ships that are in there and limit the ships that come in because of, you know,

we've got to mess with the delivery system out of the port for vehicles, not ships. But at the same time, we need to be building the new bridge. Let's go. Let's get going. People, people, people. We have a bridge to build. And this, I hope, is exactly the reason why President Joe Biden and I

The guy Never, I don't want to get into him But I just will say that I think he was actually right When he said, hey, we're going to pay for it And the, you know, the press was like, What about the insurance companies? Whack! And about the companies that own the ship, whack!

And Joe's like, I'm sorry, the president, Joe Biden is like, you know, I want to get started before all that And then we'll cover it. We'll get to all that. But right now, Let's get to work. Sadly, I agree with him this one time.

And I don't know if it's him speaking, but he's right. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

We mentioned earlier, another show, one of the shows I've done in the past. 800,000 years, is that the Tropicana in Las Vegas was going to close. Well, yesterday it closed. If you're listening live today is the third of April, 2024. And the Tropicana closed yesterday, which was the second of April, 2024. Just a couple of days short of its 67th anniversary. And there was a couple things as I was reading about just aside from the headlines of the Tropicana closing. I mean, at one point, it was the jewel of the strip, and, you know, it was one of the great resorts in Vegas,

and then we have the, you know, mega resorts now. The demolition for it is going to be sometime in October. That's what they're shooting for. That'll be fun to watch. I love watching them implode buildings. But they're making way for the new Major League Baseball Stadium. There's about nine acres there that are set to go to the, well, it's not the Oakland A's anymore. I guess it's still, is it still the, it's just the athletics.

We don't know, we're not calling them the Oakland A's anymore. And we can't call them the Las Vegas A's yet because they're not in Vegas. And they're going to play at some high school stadium in Northern California until they get a stadium deal. I don't know what's happening. So it's just the athletics. Anyway, that stadium is going to be built. Now, as I said, it was the place to be in Vegas when it opened. And of course, it was, I mean, it was one of the ones that we knew had ties to the mob.

right i mean all the others we just assumed and the mob had pretty you know ties and they kept quiet but the big mobster frank costello who was shot in new york city had a paper a piece of paper in his pocket when he was shot and killed that showed the gross wind figures from the tropicana's casino which meant that he was part he was part of the little skimming operation going on uh from uh from the old Tropicana. Now it was built back in 1957 and it cost a whopping $15 million. Jewel of the Strip in

Las Vegas. Fifteen million dollars. Incredible. I'm sorry, did I say the jewel of the strip? It was promoted as the Tiffany of the strip, okay? In reference to the jeweler Tiffany's. Okay. And it was

a 300-room property, considered a luxurious retreat. So it just sold to ballets back in 2022 for $148 million. I mean, that seems like nothing, really. But, you know, whatever.

Rest in peace to the Tropicana. Now I see, and I've got the thinking, well, what do they do with all the stuff? Like, do I get to get like one of the pictures painted, you know, that were hanging in room 202 or something like that? Well, they had the big liquidation sale. And I think it's still ongoing.

So it had 1,800 guest rooms and suites. You know, I was thinking that's a good deal. If you could paint a piece of artwork and then just print it up and have them buy your piece of art. And your artwork would be the one hanging in each toilet at the truck at every holiday in across America. Anyway, they had 1,500 flat screen TVs. Incredible. I mean, I would like to get some of this. That'd be cool.

They had a banquet, a conference center, a bakery. A buffet restaurant and kitchen, a banquet kitchen, commercial theater seating, thousands of stack chairs, thousands of banquet tables, crystal chandeliers, thousands of sheets, pillows, and comforters. I don't know if I want any of those. I don't know if I want any of the sheets, pillows, and comforters from the hotel, but, you know, appreciate it. Keep them over there.

They had architects with the fixtures, the gaming stools, the pool and patio furnishings, China and glassware bathroom linens I don't know if I want to those either but you know I guess you wash them in wash them in hot water a little bit of bleach

maybe some baking soda you'll be fine get a little bit of that off of them and you should be fine but I want some of that hello chopicana call me email me

chewing the fat at the blaze.com let's work out a deal like I'll take I don't know give me like a couple hundred of the flat screen TVs I'd like to have maybe

I need some pool furniture. I need some outdoor furniture. I don't have a pool at this house that I'm living in now, but I still need the furniture. And, you know, because it's patio furnishings. Hello.

And I'd like to have some gaming stools. There's nothing like, why do you have 25 stools lined up along your wall? I got it from the tropical. That was along the Tropicana. You don't know who sat on those. that's good stuff right there if you're not going to reach out to me

Well, we have Lee Sigfried, known as Crazy Cabby to the Howard Stern Show fans. He has passed away, according to multiple reports. So it might be just a bit. We don't know. He was 55, and no cause of death has been revealed.

Now, this is a way to get Howard Stern in the news. I will say this, because every headline I see is Howard Stern. Radio personality, regular dies at 55. Oh, okay. So it leads you to think maybe perhaps Howard Stern died, or it's a big story about Howard Stern. But no, it's about the death of... one of his show

contributors, the Crazy Cabby, who was 55. And he hasn't even appeared on the show since 2021. So, anyway, Lee Sigfried

or Crazy Cabby dead at the age of 55. Also, you see where Lauren Bobbert, B-O-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-O-E-E-E-E-E-E-O-E-E-E-E-E-E-O. O-E-E-E-R-T, Congresswoman from Colorado, hospitalized, underwent surgery for blood clot. Huh.

That's kind of weird. She was taken to a Colorado hospital after experiencing severe swelling in one of her legs on Monday. Her campaign team said, hey, doctors found a blood clot, and the Congresswoman was diagnosed with May Thurner syndrome. Yeah, man, how many times have you heard? May Thurner syndrome. For those of you that are saying to yourself, May Thurner syndrome is a thing?

Yeah, it is, okay? It's also known as the Iliac vein compression syndrome. It's a condition in which compression of the common venous outflow track of the left lower extremity may cause discomfort and swelling. So why don't you shut up? Okay, it's the May Thurner syndrome. Okay, is it, is it that?

All right, I mean, she thanked everyone who took care of it and providing helpful insight on her recent diagnosis. Yeah, the May Thurner syndrome. You don't want none of that. Now, I will say, you don't want blood clots rolling around in your body. Those are suboptimal, blood clots rolling around in your body. So it's good to

We got that taken care of Now we don't know what caused it Well it's a syndrome Jeff It's the May Thurner syndrome I know but what caused Lauren getting the May Thurner syndrome We don't know We don't know that

And it couldn't be that Because they would have said that Am I right? Because they went on to say That It's unclear what caused the clot I know that's what I was just saying But the campaign noted that

Dehydration travel and extended periods of sitting have all been identified as potential factors in causing symptoms of May Thurner syndrome. So it definitely wasn't that. It was either, well, she didn't drink enough. She was traveling too much. And she was sitting for extended periods of time.

So, I mean, anyone could get May Thurner syndrome. because, I mean, maybe even, what if, what if you don't travel, but you're dehydrated and you sit for extended periods of time? I think that's what I have. I have May Thurner syndrome. Yeah, I do. So I got to stop. I mean, I'm not laughing about Lauren Boberg getting May Thurner syndrome because it's not funny. It's not funny.

And I have, I have all the symptoms. I sit a lot. well I'm not really dehydrated because I drink a lot I don't really travel a lot but I have all the symptoms and of course we just got the news that the Iowa LSU game women's basketball college women's basketball set records for viewership

12.3 million viewers for Monday night's game again I asked the question what doofus from NCD A women's basketball puts the two teams that were the national championship last year that set records viewing records. Who was the dup? And I was going to call them a different name, so I got to relax here for a second.

Who was the dummy? The duffus. There are those are acceptable words. I guess they're acceptable. That decided, we know what, we'll put those two teams in the same. bracket and they can play each other before the championship game you know if they happen to get through and win them all well of course they would but they ended up winning all their games until this game monday night which isn't even the fun which put them into the winner the winner goes

into the final four it's just silly now i know it's katelyn clark's year and maybe you're thinking like i said maybe you're thinking hey kately's the draw and we you know if she wins then uh you know the viewership is in And I don't disagree with that. Caitlin is the draw. The only thing left for her to win. She's setting all these records is the national championship, which she didn't win last year because they lost to LSU.

I just incredible that we had. So the game that the national championship matchup in an elite eight game to go to the final four sets the records. I just don't understand the thinking behind that. But that's what they did. So now it's going to, now not only does Caitlin have the weight of Iowa on her shoulders to win the national championship, she has the weight of television on her shoulders to bring in the numbers without the help of playing her dreaded nemesis, the LSU Tigers. And she put them down hard.

She put them down hard on Monday night, man. She looked awesome. So, anyway, just I don't understand the thinking. I may get over it, whatever I start thinking about it. I don't. It just drives me in crazy. And I guess they play Yukon on Friday night,

April 5th, at 8.30. I guess that's probably central time since I'm looking at it in my computer, so that's probably central time. So 9.30 Eastern in the final four. So that'll be a great game. But, you know, and I know Yukon's been great. They're the number three seed overall.

they've, their women's basketball has been great. So is their men. Their men are in the final four as well. I mean, it's a big year for Yukon. Sorry about it, Yukon. You're going down, though, because it's Caitlin's year. So nobody cares about the other teams. Okay, they just don't.

They just don't. It's the Caitlin Clark year. And if she goes down, she loses, goodbye to ratings, because everyone's just going to go, okay, have a nice day. It's over. and obviously the schools that are in it are going to watch

what do you got North Carolina State Yukon and what's the women's final four yeah in South Carolina and then Yukon and Iowa and everybody you know they're fine they're great teams they've got great players who cares it's not Caitlin Clark it's her Caitlin Clark is

I mean she is she's the sports icon now of the world right I mean she's the you know she hasn't she's still in college So I get that, you know, people making comparisons with people who have been professionals and superstars over the years that have done so much. That's a tough comparison. But with the sports world rallying around Caitlin Clark, I mean, that's her world. And we're just living in it.

So if she doesn't, it would almost make you believe that the NCAA will just make sure that Caitlin Clark wins the national championship. Doesn't it? It does make one think. that calls, whether for or against, may help Caitlin's cause in hoisting that national championship trophy because anything short of that is nothing, right? I mean, she's already accomplished everything except that. She has to have the national championship.

She has to. and the NCAA, while they may have been dumb in the bracket listings, you'd hope that they were smart enough to realize, hey, you know, maybe you're not blow the whistle here. Or maybe you do blow the whistle here. Anything that helps Caitlin win, okay? Don't make it look obvious, but Caitlin can't lose. And so you just watch the games.

I'm not saying it's going to happen. My gosh, it would be terrible if something like that goes on. terrible. But, you know, it does. Oh, yeah. And I mentioned that Yukon and the men's were in the final four two. You got Purdue, North Carolina State, Yukon and Alabama.

Nobody cares. We care about Caitlin. So I know you guys are great. And I appreciate you. You guys are all talented. You're wonderful. We love watching you play for the most part. But just know. And I think you already do. You're not Caitlin. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665-3-1-2-600 or visit comics ontario.c. All right. So I've had this story for a while and I haven't just never got to it because I'm like, ah, it's just another story about libraries and not charging for old returns. And, you know, it's another story about a pair of books, 100 years overdue. I return to a Kentucky library. And look, nobody's in trouble. That's fine. Louisville Free Public Library noted that the family could have incurred about $7,800. and fines with inflation and everything. But the library just became fine free.

And sure, it wasn't that way when they didn't return it. But it's fine. And it's just, they finally returned a pair borrowed books. And we just love it. It's just funny, isn't it? It's just funny. They forgot to bring it back a hundred years ago.

And now they're finally bringing it back. They found it. It was in a box somewhere. we just found it. Well, then I see a story out of Texas where a mom can't get her driver's license renewed because there's a warrant out for her arrest.

Wonder why she has a warrant out for her arrest. Over an unreturned library book. But nobody's in trouble. Oh, wait. She is. So she had to go before a judge because she had a warrant out for her arrest because of this late library book, okay?

She thought it was a, she didn't realize, all right? Now she goes before the judge. She was charged with theft of government property. She had to drive to another court hours away from her home to face her judge, and the judge completely unsympathetic. Over a library book? I would be so pissed.

I mean, I'm sure she didn't have an attorney because she probably thought it's a library book. They're making me go before the judge. I'll tell the judge, look, I'm sorry. I was pregnant at the time. I had complications. I also went through a move to a new residence, so I didn't get the notices of the laybook,

and I, you know, sorry. I know, I'm sorry about it. The judge is like, so? Wait, what? Yeah, she told me to stop making excuse. and I needed to take responsibility. It's my responsibility to update the library with my change of address because we moved.

Yeah, that's what I didn't have been able to go to the library. I didn't have change my library card ID on my list of things to do after my child was born. I mean, that is unbelievable. that is unbelievable. Now also, she told the judge that her husband had tried to return the book, but that it did not fit into the drop-off box, and he could not go inside because the library was closed.

So then after they return the book, okay, so that's kind of an excuse. That's kind of funky there. I might have been on the judge's side there. Hubby tried to squeeze it in the library. I just leave it on top, bro. let's leave it on top and call. Hey, I'll have to book on top. How about you?

I'll go check and make sure you got that. And if it gets stolen, I mean, you film yourself returning it, right? It won't fit in the box. You film yourself returning it. You're good to go. I mean, I just cannot believe that. So she offered to pay for the book,

and the judge said they were long past that point. what kind of judges do we have in the state of Texas? That is unbelievable. That, oh, we are way long past that point. Really? For a library book? Okay. So now I'm, I don't know, do we send her to prison?

Do we make her go to prison for a late returning library book? I hope so. I hope so, because that's what needs to happen to this woman, okay, for forgetting to return a library book. I mean, just keep it, but you can anymore, right? So in Kentucky, 100 years ago, they didn't have records in apparently, so it's okay to keep it for 100 years.

In Texas, if you have an overdue library book, you can't get your driver's license? Come on now. Come on. it is so nice of United Airlines to be offering pilots unpaid time off. That is so nice of them.

Now it's only through May. Well, maybe it might be through the whole summer. The airline pilots union said, yeah, well, you know what? There's Boeing deliveries that have been delayed. Yeah, no kidding. So, look, United CEO is among airline leaders who have expressed frustration.

at Boeing. So it's all Boeing's fault. I mean, it is Boeing's fault. It's not United's mechanic's fault. It's not any company's fault at all. It is all Boeing. It's not the subcontract companies

that have put things together and are supposed to investigate. It's not the FAA after it's built from Boeing to check things out. It is all Boeing's fault. Okay? Let's be clear about that. Boeing, no matter what happens in the world now, it is your fault, okay?

That's it. It's your fault. So I just find it's really nice that United is, because it's Boeing's fault, is offering their pilots unpaid time off. Well, with Drew May. Well, maybe on the whole summer. Well, you just don't know. You just don't know how long, but they're, you know, look, just take it off because we're not paying you. Okay.

We'll just pretend that it's unpaid leave because you either do that. or we say you're fired and move on with your life. I see where there was another story. Where was it? Oh, the Alaska Airlines flight. Another Alaska Airlines flight. I'm sure this is Boeing's fault. Absolutely positive.

That's a matter of fact that it's Boeing's fault. They had to turn around because a Boeing 737 jet, again. Like I said, it's Boeing's fault. they had they were on its way from Hawaii to Alaska thank you for flying Boeing 737 Max 9 out of Hawaii

we're on our way should be in Alaska six or seven hours we appreciate your time excuse me excuse me excuse me stewardess excuse me flight attendant

pilot yeah there's a bunch of water leaking out of the bathroom and it's going everywhere and I don't know if it was the actual nastiness of the toilet water I don't think it was

because that would have been we've seen videos and stuff of this plane and I think it was just water from the bathroom I don't think it was the nastiness of the toilet water because we've seen that before too that was Bowen's fault too

but we've seen that before too and how it would just be nasty I would have to get out of there so the flight from Honolulu to Anchorage it departed about 10 p.m. Thank you for flying. Friday night flight on our way to

Anchorage. And we're about 90 minutes in and the pilots like yeah we got a little malfunction here. It's flooding in the aisle, whole aircraft, a bunch of water. I know a lot of you guys are sitting with your feet and water along here. So, hey, we're going to turn this thing around.

We're not going to finish our flight to Anchorage. I know, gosh, I was excited to get to Anchorage, but we're going to go ahead turn this thing around. Flight attendants, if you could put some paper towels and blankets, you know, towels or anything else that you can't just soak up the water

coming from the bathroom. That'd be great, thank you. I want to get this thing turned around. I mean, there was like two or three inches of water on the floor in this plane. You've got to turn that thing around, man. Because, I mean, you've seen what happens in houses when it floods like that and the electricity

and all the electrical circuits. You don't want none of that. You don't want that happening. Good for the pilot, man. Good for the pilot. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and turn this thing around. How about you don't turn any of the lights on and soak up as much water as you can.

And we're going to go ahead and turn this thing around. No kidding. Man, and one of the good things is, okay, so pilot, turn it around. Got back? I mean, I'd be so angry. You're already an hour and a half into the flight. I mean, you're feeling like, all right, we're in the flight hour and a half in, you relax seatbelts off.

Is that water creeping up on my ankles from the floor? Where is that coming from? And it's just be like, what the hell is that? And it would not, I mean, just be. And then the good thing is, so again, that it wasn't the nastiness of the toilet water. Oh, my gosh. That's, but all of it, just remember, all right, as you go through your day to day, whenever you listen to this particular show,

it's Boeing's fault. All right. No one else's. No one else's. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and turn this thing around. And this is Boeing's fault. Thank you for flying United. Oh, this Alaska Air.

It's not United. United doesn't have any pilots. They don't have any. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and, well, we don't have a pilot. So we're just going to sit here on the tarmac and wait for the summertime to be over when our pilots get off there on. paid leave.
