From the trusted team behind 48 Hours, welcome to Case by Case, your weekly update on the biggest true crime stories unfolding right now. Nick Ryder remains in custody without bail. Luigi Mangione accused of stalking and gunning down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. From high-profile trials and stunning evidence to major breaks in cold cases, we'll follow it all Case by Case. Follow and listen to 48 Hours, Case by Case, wherever you get your podcasts. It's the Late Show Hot Show with Stephen Colbert. Folks, if you watched this show, and I certainly hope you do, you know that I spend most of my time right over there at the news worksite building a topical story in closure using mahogany cladding, black and steel, and show sugi-ban charred wood accents with an interior of rift white oak flooring all on a stepped massing integrated with the topography to build for you the custom mojo-stomer luxury home that is my monologue. But sometimes, just sometimes folks, after getting caught selling fake amphetamines for racing dogs, I crawl into a busted wheelie bin that I cover with a discarded plastic panel ad for weight loss gummies and huddle inside the vagrant chalet of news that is my segment. Meanwhile, in order to control the exploding population, Washington, D.C. is putting rats on birth control. Perfect for anyone thinking, I wish all these rats also had mood swings. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence guru Sam Altman says it'll take another year before chat GPT can start a timer. Luckily, I have an advanced intelligent gadget that can set a timer without need for Wi-Fi or electricity. And as a bonus, it is shaped like a cute little chicken. There it is. Works great. Chicken. Set timer for five minutes. Chicken. Chicken. Write my thesis paper. Chicken. Create celebrity porn. Broke it. Is this going to be broken? Meanwhile, there's a hot new fitness trend among women. Sword yoga. The workout is a fusion of tai chi, kung fu, a touch of intuitive movement, and slow breathing paired with vinyasa yoga. It's basically the espresso martini of exercise, a confusing combination of things that make you both want to fight and sleep. Meanwhile, a new health campaign tells men they should masturbate more to lower their risk of cancer. And there's a 19 to 22 percent lower risk of prostate cancer for those who ejaculate 21 or more times per month. Does science have to turn everything fun into a chore? Sorry, my Apple Watch says it's time to masturbate. Go ahead and finish the meeting without me. I gotta close my rings. Meanwhile, there's news from Burger Island because Burger King is making its first significant update to the Whopper in nearly a decade. And now it features a premium bun and a serving a box and comes with better tasting mayonnaise. You'll notice they didn't say delicious or amazing new mayonnaise, just better. They should bring that kind of attitude to the advertising. Burger King, it could be worse. Meanwhile, love Burger King. Love it. Double Whopper with cheese, onion rings, my death row meal. Meanwhile, the Washington Post asks, do men or women have worse farts? Science has the answer. And you're studying that because you've already cured cancer with a whole yanking thing, right, science? You have cured cancer, right? Because I've never run a 5k to raise awareness of farts. Spoiler women. Meanwhile, right? That's right. Meanwhile, and this one's kind of fun and upsetting. A new biotech startup says, headless human bodies could replace lab animals for scientific testing. Neat. Hey, everybody. I know you've all found it a little upsetting to do our testing on rabbits. So good news. We've brought in these headless human bodies. Don't worry. We didn't chop off any heads. These bodies are grown without heads into what the biotech firm refers to as living organ sacks. So it's living, but only in the sense that we're keeping it alive against its will. And no, we don't know why it keeps pointing at you. I told you it was upsetting. Meanwhile, in sweet relief news, doctors are asking, can you really treat hemorrhoids with sugar? God, I hope so. Or somebody's going to have to fish out all those skittles. Booph the rainbow. Based on a so-called life hack, some hemorrhoid sufferers are actually wondering, is a DIY sugary paste really a secret booty bomb? By the way, secret booty bomb, still my favorite Pritz song. More Late Show Pot Show after this. Folks, there's a fun fact from the Artemis II mission. The United States is part of something called the world. And there it is right there. And stuff happens there too. And I'd like to tell you all about it in my international segment. What's going on over there? First up, the Bahamas. Okay. Okay. You take your time. You take your time. First up, the Bahamas. Come on, pretty mamas. According to reports, BB the parrot has gone viral for exploring the Bahamas in a custom-built submarine. Yeah, yeah, it's adorable. But I think we're using the words exploring and submarine very generously here. That headline could also read, confused bird trapped in Nalgene bottle would like this to be over. Next up, what's going on in India? According to experts, Lone India, a small city outside Delhi, has the world's worst air. Coming in at a close second is that one car on the F train that isn't crowded for some reason. Moving on. Moving on. To yet another country, Sweden, the one that isn't Norway. Big promotional news from Sweden's furniture mavens because there's a new Ikea Pokémon crossover coming. Yes. Very exciting. It's very exciting. For a limited time, their famous meatballs will be made out of ground Pikachu. Yeah. Oh yeah. No, 100%. No, it's happening. It's happening. Sorry. Next up, we're heading to England where a man just killed another man, but it was over soccer, so they said it was okay. In a completely different story, one English restaurant is asking, would you eat sticky toffee pudding on pizza? Yes. Boom. I am crushing this news quiz. The new glop comes from London's circus pizza. So named because of their value meal where you receive a slice of pizza, a soda and get to mistreat an elephant. But you all laughed at ground up Pokémon. Who's the monster now? Also in England at the University of East Anglia, researchers found the odds of ordering a vegetarian dish increased by 22% when they printed pictures of animals next to the meat options on a menu. For example, a pig next to pork heroes and a cow next to beef bolognese. Well, yeah. But that's just emotional manipulation. You can do that with vegetables too. This garbanzo bean is named Katie. She has three little boys and is working two jobs to buy them bikes for Christmas. Even though they said we'd be happy with just a big hug, please don't work so hard, mommy. Let us kiss away your tears. Anyway, shall we grind Katie up to make your hummus now, you monster? That joke made me cry.
