1. Good, I guess, but we all lose by not having his voice 4 days/week as before.

But I'm glad he's coming out okay.

2. I googled and this seems like a rumor or fake news

No official news at least.

I think he may go to Netflix in some manner but the most likely take is he will do a podcast. That’s where the listeners are these days anyway.

4. there have been a bunch about him.

9. I know I keep seeing fake news

About Rachel and Stephen starting a news organization, I wish it was true.

13. Yeah, they're not even confirmed to be in discussion yet.

This article confirms the lack of confirmation...

Save your money until it's concerned

8. Thanks

I Saw to the precaution post after mine. I do hope we get him back in the fight.

11. Yeah, apparently a rumor... Well, it does confirm that there is a lot of fan interest, at least...

We shall see what happens in the future...

5. 15 Recs as of right now.

Nobody confirms shit anymore it seems.

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. This is a rumor that has not been

Verified by any credible sources. You should delete the post.

10. I'm a big fan and if this true,

do think he might loan me 5 bucks.

17. we'll see how it pans out ...

I like Newsom's stuff though,

[surfered]

12. Great. We get Netflix free for being T Mobile customers

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. c'mon y'all get some discernment

[blogslug]

15. It's a bogus post

I blocked that James Hughes account on Bluesky so fast.

I’m not sure why this has taken off (or their motivations for posting it), but there’s nothing to suggest this is true.

Colbert previously joked on his show about developing a show for Netflix but I don’t see anything real.

16. My simple rule: Don't believe any "news" you first see on social media that allows bullshit

... which unfortunately is all the most popular ones. If it's really news, then it will be reported by multiple reliable sources.
