WTF is going on with Boeing? They’re a trillion dollar company. Are they really so concerned with the bottom line they’re going to nickel and dime their way to do it? This unbridled greed has to stop.

[CrystalSkyDrops]

Anytime a whistleblower ends up dead due to ‘suicide’ that should be scrutinized a hell of a lot more by everyday people since clearly everyone’s pockets are filled for silence

[haiku]

It is pretty funny that Kraft is like "you should not focus on one single ingredient" but fail to mention that the ingredient in question is literally LEAD. They're essentially saying "yeah there's poison but only 1 poison and we added a bunch of other stuff too"

[LauraSomeNumber]

After 15+ years of watching Phil I finally feel seen in the past two days, with his acknowledgement of those of us who watch the show the next morning. I believe the show usually drops at around midnight in Denmark and when I watch it then I always regret it in the morning because it is a big part of my morning routine.

Anthony Bourdain said it best. “Everybody should eat healthy. Everybody should eat organic. But, when it comes to feeding your kids on a budget, mom is going to pick 99 cent cheeseburgers over $5 salads.” Until we start making it affordable to eat healthy, we can’t complain that our food is unhealthy. We want to say we care about children and their nutrition but we also make it so the average child’s family can’t afford proper nutrition.

[HunterHunt]

The way he flinched when she approached him, the way he doesn’t fight back, the ease at which she attacks him while driving, I highly doubt this is the first time she’s been physically abusive towards him

[B-Ran_the_Man]

Protect the Whistleblower at all costs before Boeing does something to him too....

[NeilPro]

"The organized, structured messy ball of chaos that I am." That .... that sounds a lot like tumbleweed, Phil. Have you been tumbleweed this entire time? The betrayal!

[Osteichthyes]

That first story was so wild I was fully expecting Phil just to drop "but it turns out it was all fake". Nope, everyone here is just the worst. Even the callers, actually especially the callers. They were witnessing domestic violence first hand and actively thought "yeah I want to join in on this, make the situation worse". The world is truly addicted to the drama.

Lunchables - “you should base your nutritional research on scientific data”
Researchers - our scientific research shows that there’s too much lead, cadmium and sodium in lunchables and aren’t safe
Lunchables - no, not like that

[CatherineDupuis]

I used to be so jealous of the kids who got Lunchables. Now I'm gonna call my Mom and apologize.

[theinfinityengine]

what baffles me about the first story is that it's just so normal. everyone wants to see a part of your life, and when they see the juicy tidbits, it's like sharks with blood in the water. Everyone wants to see the bad parts of everyone's life, it's why these videos have so many views. We're never going to get past it because it's normal, and it's what everyone secretly loves

[Chrysriph]

I appreciate Phil talking about invasive plants. I spent the last three years battling invasive plants in a national park, it’s such a huge problem that most people don’t know much about. Raising awareness about invasives and what people can do to fight invasive plants and promote natives is so so important to preserving ecosystems

[Jessi-Love]

I love how Boeing is like "everything this guy said is false. There's no immediate safety concern." But in the next breath say " we don't know about long term safety concerns yet, but that won't be an issue for years to come." Which, quite literally confirms the whistle blower concerns 🥴

[Alicious_Al]

Arizona native here. You can bet your ass we’re going to repeal the abortion ban in November. We shouldn’t be going back to laws from close to 200 years ago especially before we were even a state.

[SarahIsCoolBeanz]

That cheerful music over the tumbleweed story was SENDING ME

[pathoesr]

About Boeing: My dad was an engineer for the company for a number of years. A massive reason their having these issues now is the cost saving measures they took with their employees.

Between the union busting and laying off experienced employees in favor of younger, but cheaper, talent - you get problems like this.

When you build a plane you need to keep the people who know how to build them well employed and you pay for the experience.

[Lel]

What stood out to me about calling it the “Boeing Drama” is the amount of actual horrible things that is legitimately dangerous that get labeled as drama. I feel like it really downplays the magnitude of certain issues and makes things more sensational rather than an issue that needs to get fixed.

[TheSleepSteward]

Right... Classic corporate. "We've got lead, cadmium, high sodium and possibly carcinogenic meat in these Lunchables." "You are not representing our nutritional values properly" "We add extra nutrients to make it healthy" Right... So we're just gonna completely side step the LEAD and CADMIUM!?!?!? IN. A. CHILD'S. LUNCHBOX?? Okay Kraft.

[sirsapling]

Editors/graphics department on todays show: holy hell y’all had me rolling worse than a tumble weed, it was almost distracting from the news itself. ‘This is your brain on thistle’ made me wheeze. Keep up the great work
