Summary
Rush Hour Podcast – Afternoon Edition | 2025 Year in Review
In our final episode of 2025, we're looking back at the stories that defined the year and dominated the discourse. From Candace Owens and the nonstop controversy cycle, to Laura Owens vs. Clayton Echard and the rise of the Justice for Clayton movement, we revisit how these narratives unfolded and why they mattered. We also break down the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga and what it revealed about power, PR, and public perception in Hollywood. To close out the year, we shift gears and look ahead, sitting down with an ADHD coach to talk realistic goal setting, focus, and building momentum for 2026. Thanks for riding with us all year — let's finish strong and plan smarter for what's next.

| 0:13.6 | Good afternoon, everybody. Happy New Year's Eve. Hump Day here, December 31st, 2025. I'm Dave Dave Neal and I have your news for your rush hour drive home. |
| 0:22.9 | Now, chances are you're not working and if you are, I'm happy to be here with you. |
| 0:27.2 | But boy, do I have a compilation for you today. I interview a buddy who's a ADHD coach. |
| 0:33.6 | And we actually talked about my three biggest stories of the year. This came about so organically that I wasn't even going to do this intro, but I wanted to let you know |
| 0:41.1 | because we've been talking about Candace Owens, right? |
| 0:43.9 | She's, of course, been covering the conspiracy around who was complicit in the murder of Charlie Kirk. |
| 0:50.2 | We've been covering that. |

| 1:37.0 | We discuss the bankruptcy. |

| 1:41.3 | So it's a real, it's a real cornucopia of content, as we like to say here, |
| 1:48.0 | weaving in those three different stories. But that's what's driven the channel. And if you |
