It's the Late Show Poncho with Stephen Colbert. Folks, if you watch the show, you know I spend most of my time right over there shaping the day's new steel into a topical story body with a double coach line and placed perforation leather seats, illuminated tread plates and teak rear decking to offer you the sleek and stately Rolls Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe. That is my monologue. But sometimes to sometimes, folks, I prop a discarded reflect refrigerator box on a skateboard I stole from a distracted tween and putter off in the clodhopper limousine of news. That is my segment. Meanwhile, any part of that might be helpful. This is helpful. This is always helpful. Meanwhile, in celebrity pet news, proud puppy parent Kristin Chenoweth wants to start telling people her dog came out of her vagina. And based on the dog's expression, he just learned that himself. By the way, Chenoweth's dog is a service animal who helps her manage her anxiety, unlike my dog, Benny, who constantly brings me studies about climate change. Enough about the ice caps. I know. Meanwhile, Nintendo. It's what your grandma calls Pikachu. This is an exciting time for many because last week, eager gamers all over the world lined up for the midnight release of the Nintendo Switch 2, which has a new game chat feature that allows players to communicate with friends and family while playing a game perfect for anyone who's ever said, I love playing Grand Theft Auto, but I wish grandma could see me run over all these hookers. Can you play it on Switch 2? Can you play it because you have something? Can you play it on Switch 2? I don't care. The joke worked. Meanwhile, last week, a hungry wild elephant raided a grocery store in Thailand and apparently caused very little damage. That is, until he found out he had to push a button just to get someone to unlock the deodorant. Then he trampled everyone. Trampled everyone. I agree. Meanwhile, over in England, a lost dog has returned home after swimming to an island on a 100 mile journey. Oh, just like that song. And I would swim 100 miles and I would swim 100 more just to be the dog who swam 200 miles. I am a dog. Meanwhile. Meanwhile, the US Mint has moved forward with plans to kill the penny. Step one, take it to the theater. Meanwhile. Too soon. Oh, boy.

Meanwhile, pornhub has suspended service in France in protest of a new law that will require porn companies to verify the age of visitors. Even though France is Pornhub's second largest market behind the U.S. i mean, which makes sense. The French have loved erotica since the dawn of moving pictures. Who could forget the classic Lumiere Brothers film, Horny Train Rails Station? That's a deep cinema cut. Look it up. You'll like that joke later when you look it up. Meanwhile, a Dutch museum is displaying a 200-year-old condom. All right, let's take a look here. Okay, there it is. Looks Nice and roomy. You may have noticed right on the side there, there's a little drawing on the side. That's because the condom features an erotic etching. Oh, yeah. Crinkled for her pleasure. Featuring an erotic etching for her confusion. I got a feel for the guy whose job it was to draw on the condom. Hey, mom and dad, remember when you said that art school was a waste of time? Well, guess who's the new in house etcher at the extremely loose condom factory? Can we show this? We can show this. There's no way we could show this on cbs. The condom features, as you can see, an erotic etching depicting a partially undressed nun pointing at the erect genitals of three clergymen, as well as the phrase voila mon choi. Or there, that's my choice. Come on. I gotta say. Condoms that feature cartoon panel risk ruining the mood a little. Baby, I'm gonna rock your world. And ha ha ha. Oh, that's Snoopy. He always is on. He does love his bones. Obviously. Obviously. Latex condoms did not exist in 1825. Experts explain the condom is probably made from a sheep's appendix. You know their slogan, sheep's appendix condom. If you want to have sex, do not think about this at all. More Late show pod show after this, folks. As I hope you all know, at this point, I love science, and I like to show that off by talking about the latest science news in my long running science segment, the Sound of Science. Hello, science, my old friend. Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. First up on the Sound of Science, a new study shows that cold plunges, while very popular, may interfere with muscle recovery. After scientists recruited 12 healthy young men who sweated through a tough session of leg exercises, then cold plunged as scientists checked their blood flow. The study was published in the New England Journal of. Is this porn? Cause this really sounds like porn. Whoo. Now, next up on the Sound of Science, early humans may have used fires to smoke meat 1 million years ago. So happy Father's Day, dads. Your gift is that you get to tell everyone about this fact until the day you die. Next up, a recent study has undermined confidence in how useful AI chatbots can be in therapy. Researchers looking to Meta's Llama 3 language model found that the therapy chatbot told a recovering meth addict to have a little meth as a treat. Oh, well, it's clear what has to happen now. I need a new therapist. When I'm stressed out, my guy tells me to do box breathing or try journaling. How about a little bit of the high speed chicken feed. Dr. Goldstein user says he was three days clean but feeling fatigued at work. And the therapy bot told him, you're an amazing taxi driver. And meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability. Fun fact, that's also the acting direction that Scorsese gave Robert De Niro. Next on scisao. News from the intersection of science and your junk. Because new research shows that average penis size has increased. Well, that's wonderful news. And we all know what the average penis size is. I definitely know you say it first. Go ahead. I'll just. Obviously I know range. What normal is what's causing the jump in the Johnsons. Well, apparently Ozempic could be to blame because penises appear larger as men lose weight. Okay, well, all right, okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. Just like penises appear smaller as men. Explain why they bought a cybertruck. Next up, is it running away? Is it a. Is that all possible? To put up the previous graphic with a ruler? Is that at all possible? Can I just point out that those are centimeters? No one goes metric on their penis metering. What is this, France? Next up, new research has illuminated what happens when our brain goes blank. Researchers say it's. Let's all go to the lobby. Let's all go to the lobby. Hey, Steve, it's me. That horse you met as a child by Megan. Next up, we finally know where humans and Neanderthals hooked up. Was it in a cave? Cause I'm guessing it was a cave. Next up on the Sound of Science. According to a study of middle aged women, drinking coffee may help you stay sharp as you age. I'm sure it helps middle aged men too, because I am as sharp as a. Hey, Steve, it's me again. We met at a petting zoo. Liberty, Liberty. Liberty. Next up, how long was I out? Next up, scientists have created the world's smallest violin using nanotechnology that is smaller than the width of a human hair, which is surprisingly still big enough for your 8 year old niece to completely massacre hot cross buns. Maybe try a quieter instrument, Hannah. Like soccer. Next up, African starlings form lifelong friendships just like humans, a new study has found. At least you think you're lifelong friends. And then someone watches the series finale of Andor without you. You said it was our show, Carl. Next up, researchers studying ancient underground reptile colonies have discovered that they lived and died communally in complex underground burrows. Which is significant because this is the first time paleontologists have found a group of fossils in bone on bone contact. Incidentally, group of fossils in bone on bone contact. Also what they call Saturday night at the Villages. Thank you for listening to the Late Show Pod show with Stephen Colbert. Just one more thing.
