Summary
In today's morning episode of the Rush Hour Podcast, we kick things off with the big story of the day: Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni continues to heat up — and Andy over at Popcorn Planet just took a major loss in the discourse. We break down what happened, why the internet is buzzing, and where the drama goes from here.
We also cover Aftyn Behn's tough defeat in the Tennessee congressional special election and what this surprising outcome could mean moving forward.
Then, an important update for the Justice for Clayton community: Laura Owens was back in the courthouse, entering a not guilty plea as the case pushes ahead. We'll walk you through everything we know.
Finally, we wrap with a fun and chaotic chat with Vanderpump Robs about all things Vanderpump Rules — drama, theories, and what fans should keep an eye on next.
Another packed morning. Let's dive in.
