"Last February 14 in the afternoon, binisita ko ang aking kaibigang si Kris Aquino who celebrated her birthday. We had a nice chat; kumain kami. She’s getting better. At sana, tuluy-tuloy," Boy shared with his audience, highlighting his relief at seeing her recovery from multiple autoimmune conditions.

The bond between the two hosts has spanned over three decades, outlasting many of their individual projects.

Boy noted that their shared history in the industry creates a unique dynamic that he is eager to bring back to the public, whether through traditional television or modern digital platforms.

While no official contracts have been signed, Boy is already looking forward to what their next joint venture might look like.

He mentioned that the format—be it a television talk show, a podcast, or an online series—is less important than the opportunity to work alongside Kris again.

"Kung bibilangin talaga, mas matanda pa ang aming television careers ni Kris kaysa kay Josh Aquino. We’ve been doing this for 30 years. And really I don’t know, there is this thing in me that’s looking forward to doing a talk show with her. I don’t know if it’s going to be in the form of a podcast, an online thing or a television thing but hindi ko [pa] alam," he remarked.
