It's the late show's hot show with Stephen Colberg. Well, back it right, give it up for Louis Cano and the great big, George Hane, how's the machine going? The machine is good, he's good. Well, he's good. All right, go, well, well, excellent. Folks, if you watch this show, you know I spend most of my time right over there in the tackle room, combining the most topical G. Luma's conquest baitcaster with fast-action tapers and Torsite Guides with a Shimano Stella SW real with a braided power pro Super 8 slick mainline match with a Sunline FC sniper flora carbon leader to make for you the elite competition bass fishing rod that is my nightly monologue. But sometimes, just sometimes, folks, while alluding Taiwanese bounty hunters along the Thameswee River, I ripped some twine off a squatter shanty and shrap into a discarded hockey stick and then catch my dinner with the fugitive jigging pole of news that is my segment. Meanwhile, that's like the doors of perception while you're
cleansed. Meanwhile, according to a new study, eating more plants is linked to a lower risk of dementia. And that sounds you here as a million Americans saying, well, I've already had 50 good years of remembering what year it is. Meanwhile, in food news, the question people want an answer to is, why is everyone pouring melted chocolate into Pringles cans right now? Counterpoint. Why is anyone not pouring melted chocolate into Pringles cans right now? It's got everything sweet, salty, can. Here's how she works. People are pouring melted chocolate into a tube of pringles. Then, once the chocolate is set, extruding their clinical depression log and cutting into it for a salty, sweet snack. Well, there's your problem. Why are you cutting it? It's already in the perfect shape for jamming in the old sad hole.
Meanwhile, a new study says consuming matcha may help produce sneezing by suppressing brainstem activity tied to the sneezing reflex. That's great. Hey, quick question. Should we be concerned that matcha suppresses any brain stem activity? You got to try this latte. It's amazing. You'll forget your children's names. Meanwhile, there's a new trend in which fitness fans are traveling around the world for so-called runcations. Hold on, just one second. Just need to update my list of people I have nothing in common with. Runcations, there you go. Because if it's not clear, runcations are getaways centered on running, which can include everything from destination races to hotels that employ their own running concierges. Hello, is this the concierge? Can you help me? This is my first time in your city, and I hate fun.
Thank you. Meanwhile, a Harvard doctor is promoting the three P's of healthy pooping, which we're told by him are pliability, pelvic floor, and propulsion. Really? Propulsion? I'm doing my business here, not launching triton nukes from a sub. Was I supposed to be going for distance this whole time? Meanwhile, scientists are asking, what's the most painful sting in the world? That's easy. It's the sting of your best friend from middle school making a new high school friends, and pretending she doesn't remember that choreography you learned over the summer. One of the main contenders is the sting of the Irokanji jellyfish, which after 20 minutes causes a sense of overexertion or malaise, followed quickly by a sensation like a jackhammer to the kidneys that lasts for up to 12 hours. Then, victims endure a parade of symptoms,
including profuse sweating that drenches the bedsheets several times an hour, and unrelenting vomiting every few minutes for up to 24 hours. It's a condition scientist for virtue is having two nugronis after age 32. LAUGHTER Meanwhile, the deadly Irokanji. Meanwhile, thanks to cleaner conditions, the New York City government says, you can eat fish caught in the Hudson River for the first time in 50 years. You can. LAUGHTER But I'll pass. Because that's not the sales pitch you think it is. Hey, babe, we're gonna have sex now. I'm herpes-free for the first time in 50 years.
