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, on this Wednesday, hump day, November 26, 2025.

I got all of your stories for your rush hour ride home, or maybe you're commuting, I don't know, to your in-laws house. As I'm recording this episode, I'm in my in-laws basement. And that's why, I mean, isn't it lovely to be at the in-laws? All the rules of life go out the window when you're at the in-laws. Sugar, sweets, uh, you don't bathe for days. Isn't it fantastic?

Don't go near me. I smell folks. Okay, so I've got some hilarious stories to get to you.

Some of my favorite types of stories. When we correct famous podcasters, when they get something

wrong, we have Nick Vile. He completely gets a Blake lively story wrong.

I know, no, this isn't a repeat episode. He did it again. Yesterday, I was on Reality Steve's

podcast. I actually think it aired today. And we were talking about this, how like the guy woefully

gets things wrong. It's so fun to just educate people and how wrong

they get it. So we'll cover that. And then more on Mark Kelly as the Department of War chief,

Pete Hegseth, criticizes him for the placement of his medallions on his uniform. Good grief,

you drunk. You know what I mean? It's like, look, I don't care. You want to go out there and have some eggnog, spike it, do whatever you want, folks, live your life. But not when you're the chief of the Department of War. What a weird ego this guy has that he's coming after American hero, Mark Kelly, astronaut. So we'll get into that and so much more. Big special election

happening here in Tennessee. And you can tell it's a close race because the Republicans are coming

out with some smears on Afton Bain. She's trying to flip a red seat in the House of Representatives.

All these stories and more starts right now on the rush.

So if you're wondering, Dave, how do you record when you're on the road? Well, I forgot to bring my

tripod. So I'm using a trusty suitcase with a pillow on top. And then I've got that propped up on a

DVD of the Twilight series. So that's what I'm using here. But I bring it all for you.

I got my coffee here, whipped cream. Again, sugar doesn't count when it's the holidays. So let's dive

into it. We've got dusty old Nick Vile here. And he's going to criticize the Baldoni camp in the Blake

lively first Justin Baldoni case
