Chris Laker · chris laker - voice of a generation

im very tired. still i deliver you the news because i care about the community today: rip tim currry, lotsa murder all over the place, teens on drugs in china and more. read it and then listen here. thanks for being here see ya -chris

i slept like three hours last night, maybe less and this was not consecutive sleep. maybe 20 minutes, 40 minutes, added up three hours tops. i dont know why i couldn t sleep. i didnt drink caffeine late. i didnt do anything. i was tired. i ran like too much yesterday. i overdid it. i thought i was going to sleep like crazy and i just laid there awake as fuck. i gave up after a while. i did look at my phone after hours though. yeah, im going to look at my phone. the thoughts before going to sleep going on for hours, its gotta to stop. let me break it up. im going to look at the phone and that probably kept me up to it. so my fault, but it was 4:30 in the morning by the time i looked at my phone. that did make it worse. dont look at your phone when youre trying to sleep. i knew that but it was the siren song, like in the odyssey, the movie and the book. it was a book before it was a movie. not a lot of people know that. ok, im gonna go right to the news. im tired, i cant fucking think. i already saw this, tim curry, rest in peace.

tim curry, star of rocky horror picture show, dies aged 80

thats the two. theres a third coming. yesterday, dolly parton, 80. tim curry, 80. that is just crossing the finish line, in my opinion, into good run territory, 80. he had a good life, did a lot of cool shit, a lot of great work, and he was real sick at the end. i just remember seeing a picture of him the other day, and he did not look great. so yeah, once again, rest in peace, tim curry and dolly parton again, because youre part of the three. two stars this big might just be a two. we might be done. there might not be a third. well, more famous people will die and people in general. there will be deaths today. not to bum anybody out. i know it sucks but it is part of what s going to happen today.

college student fatally shot by pennsylvania police was at the wrong house

went to the wrong house. sometimes you get shot by a crazy person that says, oh, you came up my driveway looking for a different address to deliver a pizza. now im going to kill you because i feel threatened. this dude went to the wrong house. they called the police as i guess youre supposed to if you feel threatened by somebody approaching your house. dont go out there and shoot them. they called the police, hey, can you come here and shoot this guy? we dont know who he is. and the police said, sure. they went and shot him. he was just looking for a different address, unarmed, not threatening. they just said, hey, look, a guy, shoot him. so i think that police officer is probably filling out his application to become an ice officer.

fake u.s. think tanks set up and funded by israel sought to game ai for propaganda

is it illegal to make a fake think tank? because i would like to do that. that sounds like something i could do. then i could just say i work for this think tank, but its fake. it doesnt exist. i just made it up. but i won t be trying to make israeli propaganda. i would just be telling people i work at a think tank. am i even clear on what a think tank is? the cato institute, one of those types of things where they write laws and make congress people take them to the floor and theyre funded by the koch brothers or somebody like that. are the koch brothers still alive or are they in hell now? they must be in hell now, but theres a whole family there funding some bullshit. i dont know if they funded cato institute. this fake think tank, though, with the ai israeli propaganda, that sounds, who is that even for? thats for people who are already pro-israel that want have something to hold on to when there s a lot of news that says, hey, maybe rethink that. that has to be what it is. its like facebook memes that weird family members text to everybody, say, look, look at this, i told you. and when somebody tells them that its fake, it makes them believe it even more.

south korea police find four bodies on jeju island as missing person scandal deepens

is there a serial killer in south korea? i dont know if thats a thing that they have over there. it feels so american, serial killer. theres got to be serial killers all around the world but i think we invented it. i think america invented it. not to take too much credit. well, jack the ripper, serial killer. so i guess america didnt start it. thats good though. i dont want it to be an american thing. serial killers are bad. ive said it many times. im not afraid to say that serial killers are bad. and they got one in south korea, maybe.

chinese teens are turning to mind-numbing drugs to run away from reality

is there another purpose for mind numbing drugs? its to run away from reality. thats why everybody does them. teens and adults agree. mind numbing drugs take you away from reality. im surprised you can get them in china. i would think theyd have it pretty locked down in china. you wouldnt be able to find any drugs. but drugs, like life, they find a way. people want them so badly. you can have the tightest regime people will figure out a way to get fucked up. some people will cut off their oxygen supply to get a little buzz on. so chinese teens, dont do drugs. anybody, dont do drugs. but if youre doing them, you know, be cool about it. be responsible and dont do anything crazy. when i say drugs, i mean normal drugs, nothing crazy. i guess i did some shit that wasnt normal, but that was me. i was dumb. i learned from that and i dont do it anymore. kids who are listening right now, dont do it. and if youre in china listening to this podcast and youre a teen, hey, dont turn to mind numbing drugs. go out and get involved in the community. get high off of helping people.

a montana man killed eight relatives, including four kids at sunday dinner, a family spokesperson says

there is a lot more people with the ability to murder their entire families than i would have thought. this is a very familiar headline. man at family gathering kills everybody, kills himself. i cant help but think it all seems very unnecessary. you could have just not done that and moved to another town. dont talk your family anymore. be estranged. everybody loves the estranged. somebody who doesnt talk to their family i find them fascinating. but somebody whos killed their whole family, no, i dont want to talk to that dude at all. well, they usually kill themselves too, i wonder if that is the plan from the beginning or when they get done killing everybody, they realize, oh shit, this is a real pickle. i got to kill myself to get out of this. it wasnt the plan. we will never know because theyre dead. and they dont leave notes. i dont think these people ever do. i mean, leave a note at least. explain some things.

meta reaches $16.68 billion settlement over social media harms to children

thats great. theyll just keep doing that though. and how about the harms to adults? how many peoples parents got sucked into the facebook meme bullshit? you know, not my parents. theyre all right. well, my father is no longer alive, but my parents were never like caught up in facebook memes, fox news, like bullshit. theyre like normal people, not as left leaning as me, but i wouldnt expect that from my parents. just straight up old democrat is the most you can ask for from parents. a lot of parents got sucked up into that facebook shit and meta should have to pay for all the parents they ruined. and fox news, there should be a class action lawsuit against fox news for ruining parents. they know theyre ruining parents. theyve ruined like two generations of parents already.

california couple confronts their surrogate in texas court as dispute over newborn escalates

this is a crazy story. the rogue surrogate, they wanted her to have an abortion because the baby had a defect. she didnt have the abortion. now the baby is born. the surrogate wants to keep the baby. and the baby has this this heart defect needs operations. the couple is trying to get the baby even though they didnt want the baby and theyre in texas now because the surrogate flew there knowing that texas has crazy restrictive laws, like no abortions allowed in texas. so now this california couple has got to go to texas and go to court with lawyers who wear cowboy hats. im not even 100% on the parents side. i kinda like a rogue surrogate. i shouldnt. ive known people who have had children via surrogate and if they had a rogue surrogate, id feel very bad for them. but its gotta happen every once in a while. you gotta know when youre getting into the surrogate system, you might end up with somebody whos a runner. if i was putting money down on this, id put it on the surrogate, though. i think the surrogate is walking away with this baby.
