And the late bot says, you know the smoke is bad? What even Snoop Dogg starts coughing and ask for a glass of water.
The forest fire smoke has reached such epic proportions that Donald Trump has declared it the biggest, most tremendous smoke cloud in history. He even offered to negotiate a deal to build a wall to keep the smoke out and make Canada pay for it. The late bot said, I heard Pete Davidson try to use the forest fire smoke as a smoke screen a hide from his ex is speaking of Pete Davidson. That whole thing with Peter that I told you about. Well, Pete’s plan for Wednesday was to put a billboard up in Times Square.
Yeah, this isn’t from the Onion, this is from the av Club. The plan was for a Time Square billboard to say that Peta can’t handle Pete’s b d E. In this case, what’s bde by dog Energy Pete and Pete, please keep this up. It’s been a tremendously slow two weeks of non comedy news as we’re about to see, so please keep it going.
Speaking of Pete, let’s stop off on Gossip Corner TMZ, says Pete.

After racing cars at Speed Vegas, Pete and the gang headed over to David Blaine’s in Spade’s Magic Show over at Resorts World. An onlooker said they were celebrating his good friends bachelor party.

Chris Rock was home on mining his own business Sunday night around eight o’clock and he looked at on the fire escape. First of all, I’m amazed that Chris Rock lives somewhere with a fire escape, But Chris looked out the window and saw a man on the fire escape of his Soho apartment. Speculation as the man may have been trying to film Chris Rock. That’s creepy. Chris called the cops.
By the time the cops got there, the creepy guy had jumped in to a white Mercedes and took off. Authorities have not found the creepy person. Cops believe the man is in his twenties. Hannibal Burris is out there promoting a new music album. So that’s a step too far for us to talk about on this podcast.
But hype Beast was asking him about his issue tune musical career. But then they asked this question, how big of a bowler are you? Okay, Hannibal said, I’ve been bowling pretty heavily for the past few years, and I bowled as a kid. I didn’t bowl as much during high school. I got back into it in LA in twenty nineteen, and when I started bowling more, I had an idea for War and I love this and Anthony Bourdain style bowling travel show.
Hannibal says he pitched it to the PBA and then they needed a fill in for a celebrity bowling tournament, so Hannibal flew from Houston Phoenix and appeared in that. Hannibal says, getting a strike’s a great feeling when you first notice in those couple of seconds right after you roll it and then it happens, the noise of it and when you get into a rhythm. It’s a fun activity and a way to hang out without being at the club or a bar or something. My song one three Pocket, I See what you did there, Hannibal, is a song about bowler It’s the hardest track about bowling. Oh there’s more.
Hannibal says, I didn’t have a bowling ball for a while. Someone stole my bowling ball out of the car during the pandemic. That was devastating. I drove around looking for them, and if I saw somebody, there was going to be a confrontation. I might not win, but something’s going to happen.
I left it in the car because I thought it’s fine. It’s not a computer. No one’s going to take a custom fifteen pound bowling ball. An update on Jamie Fox, my former co worker. It’s been nearly two months since the family revealed that Jamie had been hospitalized due to a quote medical complication.
An insider has told radar Online that Jamie is receiving treatment at one of the top physical rehabilitation centers specializing in stroke, rain, and spinal cord injuries. The insider tells Radar Online Jamie’s receiving treatment. The clinic specializes in physical therapy programs to treat injuries or a physical condition that limits or prohibits the ability to walk or walk correctly. They teach people how to walk again at this particular clinic. The source says, Jamie wouldn’t be at this clinic if he was not impaired in some way as a result of whatever happened to him.
But fan should rest assure Jamie’s in the best care at this type of clinic. So, as an observer and somebody who has worked events with Jamie Fox and been around Jamie Fox and the Jamie Fox camp, I have found it surprising that there has been no photo of him where they take five hundred shots of him sitting pool side looking cool, looking happy, take the best picture and put that out. There was a text message from Jamie Fox on his social media, but we haven’t seen a photo, and that to me makes me worry that you know, something’s not right here again, worked with Jamie, good guy, speedy recovery. Hope you’re doing well. It is a slow news day, so one of the things I do on slow news days.
