Summary
The Rush Hour Podcast — Friday Afternoon
Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni heats up as we learn a settlement discussion is scheduled for the coming weeks.

We break down a shoddy inflation report that economists aren't buying and why the numbers don't match everyday reality. Plus, a disturbing update on the Brown University shooting and how Reddit users helped expose the suspect before authorities released details.
