- Chris Laker: Boo is sitting here on the bed. As he he is a lot of the time when I'm doing the show, Boo is here. So he is an executive producer. Boo has been here about ten months. He's been living inside the house and been around our like apartment building for longer, but we brought him in. He was domesticated. I don't know where he came from, but he definitely had a home at some point. And then didn't or he ran away from it or I don't there was no people looking for him for a long time. anytime I see a poster for a missing cat, I take a picture, I've never found a missing cat. There are coyotes, which is like that's the cat serial killer. And can't get mad at the coyotes. These this is that's out in the wild. That's why boo's inside. No no coyotes in here yet. Until they start busting through windows, that day might come. Boo's a little bit older, Boo's probably ten or eleven. when first brought Boo inside, I thought, Okay, Boo is like a friend. I understand he's older. this is the thing with pets. They will die before you. Hopefully. Hopefully they do. I mean you don't wanna have the lifespan of a cat or a dog. Now that reality's starting to set in a little bit. I'm starting to kinda get worried because I know he's older. I've lived with an older cat. When I met Jacqueline, she had a cat who was like nineteen. And I lived three years with that cat. I didn't process how and poof. When when she died, that was blossom. That was ooh, that was rough. And then we had Mabel and FOMO and they die and they died young. Boo's very healthy. Boo's healthy now. I'm thinking like this 'cause a thing happened a few nights ago Boo hadn't peed and I was about to take him to the vet in the middle of the night to at the animal hospital and I got his carrier out and then he ran up to the litter box and peed. Like he knew, hey, I don't feel like going over there. now I just leave the carrier out. and everything's been fine since then. He's doing all right. he's a good boy. if something happens to him, no show probably for a couple of days. That is I I do a show every day, every, every day, no matter what, except for that and that's to be reassessed at the end of twenty twenty nine, the everyday. So we we'll see what happens then. Hopefully, then I will be the host of the tonight show. And this will have to take a back seat. that's the plan. Is that this gets me host of the tonight show. Which you I mean, what do they care who hosts the n tonight show anymore? nobody likes late night TV. They keep saying it's dead. It's dead. Whenever I show up to the party, it's over. I'm late to everything. Let me be the last host of the tonight show. or I become a news anchor. I I'd be like KTLA news anchor. I would love to be a local Los Angel or New York. I'll take LA New York news anchor. Chicago, too cold. Sorry. I'll entertain the offer. I would think about it. I haven't spent a lot of time in Chicago, but it's it's pretty good. I'd think about that. Maybe I would get a cameo on the bear as a Chicago newscaster. I have to be in one of the top three markets. And if this show doesn't prove that I'm a news anchor, come on. Speaking of the news, here's the news. I mean, come on, that's Great news anchoring. I could still show up, kind of talk about how I'm feeling emotionally, you know, what's going on with me, and then say, Okay, now it's time for the news. why get right into it? You know, like if you have like a meeting about like the business stuff, you don't get right to the business stuff. Is you have to be how's the family? you don't have any children. Hmm. Are you thinking about it? I it's so much easier if they have kids. 'Cause you ask somebody who has kids about their kids, they're very happy to tell you about their kids. I'm sort of interested. I like to hear what it's like to have kids, 'cause I don't want them. So then you t they say all this stuff and I'm like, yeah, that doesn't I'm that doesn't sound like I'm missing out on anything. But they love it. And they should. They're parents. I would hope they love it. I've talked to a couple of parents, didn't seem like they were that into it, well that kid's gonna be an artist of some type. So that's good. Not that my parents weren't happy to be parents. I'm not saying anything bad about my parents. my parents were very good parents, I think, probably. All right. I am gonna get to the news. River that is home to five hundred crocodiles chosen to host twenty thirty two Olympic rowing and canoe events. Well, that's very far out. don't change it. You're finding this out now. It seems like a big heads up, like, Yeah, that's not the place to have the events. We can change the river that we do this in. It's gonna be an Australia, twenty thirty two Olympics. I hope they keep the event in the river with all the crocodiles, 'cause that will be exciting. Or are they gonna just kill a bunch of crocodiles? or are they gonna round up all the crocodiles? And then keep them in some tank I say keep the crocodiles in. It'll be everybody will watch crocodile rowing. Ireland's national broadcaster will boycott 2027 Eurovision song contest over Israel's participation. Ireland is they're fucking for real about this. I think they could let Israelis participate in the contest if it was like Russians in the Olympics where they don't fly the flag. I don't know whoever who's ever won the Eurovision song contest. I don't think the United States is involved because you could also say not welcome to United States I would get it. I would understand. Is this show even any good like is Ireland gonna feel like we're missing out on watching Eurovision song contest? I gotta appreciate their conviction. ICE agent charged with assault lying about shooting, jailed in Minnesota. So they'll give us one. They'll they'll hold one ICE agent accountable out of like I don't know how many. Maybe when this is all over there's some accountability. I I'm not holding out hope. One is better than none. so good for that. Women sue Epstein's estate saying their photos were found in vast child porn collection. Child you're supposed to say child abuse sex material now, because porn has genres and child porn is not a genre. Child porn is a crime and they're not participating. You know, it's not porn really. But it's the term that we all know or that has been around for a long time. Nobody thinks that the children are porn actors. But It's sh it's child abuse sex material. Whatever. that just stood out to me because I'm not used to seeing that in headlines anymore. But these women suing his estate. There's an estate left. Yeah, that should all be divvied up with the victims. all these victims more coming forward. How many arrests? The two? Right? They and they c well they killed Epstein and then Ghislaine, they're hooking up really good. put her in the nice prison and everything. but that estate should just be given to all the victims. Macklemore pledges his one million dollar Ed Sheeran tour salary to Palestine. This story, how everybody just quit the Ed Sheeran tour, his backing band, the other openers, just all everybody's like, Fuck you, Ed Sheeran. he had such an opportunity to be like, Nope, I just watched the video yesterday of what Macklemore said. it wasn't like some crazy rant. It was pretty short and concise and really nothing to argue about. He didn't say anything like fucked up. Ed Sheeran, I think he might have to take a time out. take a little time away. Just go fucking chill, play your guitar in the woods Give it a little time. Then you come back with the apology. You come you come out with the apology now, no one's gonna fucking buy it. Cause you just put out that shitty statement. It was very like both sides, wish washy bullshit. And then everybody's like, fuck you. And then you're like, I'm sorry. Actually, I think that you gotta take time. it's gotta be like you came to it on your own, not just g everybody like me again, please. and one million dollars to Palestine Macklemore must have some dough Alabama set to execute Jeffrey Lee by lethal injection after nitrogen execution is blocked. They're trying to come up with new execution. Nitrogen execu what so gassing. We're not gonna gas ya. We're gonna lethal injection ya. I would take the firing squad. I heard they brought that back. would I take the firing squad? Ooh. Lethal injection might be it. Electric chairs gone. I'd like the picture. the image of the electric chair. That's nice. But it's inhumane. So that's a great way to die. Yeah, lethal injections the way to go. Alabama they can't use the nitrogen. they really were hoping, hey, maybe we got a new way to kill somebody. Nope, you gotta stick to the lethal injection. Sorry that your state sponsored murder isn't as fun as you thought it might be. FBI shut down Russian plot to kill US individuals and Europeans supporting Ukraine. Yeah, that didn't happen. Didn't Russians pay for Don Jr.'s wedding that he just had that his father didn't go to allegedly paid. I don't know if that's true. I saw that and I didn't really research it. And I'm saying it like it's true, but I'm saying allegedly because I don't know. People are saying that that happened. And then yesterday there Russia is doing a disinformation campaign to interfere with the election. And pretty sure you know which side that they're trying to mess with the election for. they like one side. It's better for them. and this is me being a conspiracy theory person. Which I'm not even a conspiracy theory person, but I like to throw out conspiracy theories sometimes. This seems like Part of their disinformation campaign. Let's give the United States a win. Let's give the feds a win. Cash Patel looks like a fucking clown all the time. Let's make it look like he could he knows what he's doing for five minutes and say they shut down this plot. see who they arrest over this plot to. so I ain't buying it.
