Welcome to the Rush Hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride.

Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal.

Good afternoon, everybody. It's Dave Neal here with your afternoon rush on this Thursday, January 16th, 2025. Here are the stories we'll be getting
