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 morning, everybody. We've got so much

to get into on this hump day, December 4th, 2024. All of your pop culture news in one place.

An asteroid has just been spotted heading for Earth. No worries, it's a million miles off,

but I'll share that story anyway. And UFOs are dancing in the sky above Trump's golf course

with mainstream media reporting on it and an update

on the South Korean martial law fiasco, whatever you want to call that. And if you didn't think the

Clayton Eckerd Laura Owen scandal could get any crazier, we've got new updates surrounding

the bizarre attempt to smear a small female-owned podcast studio.

They've actually commented, shared my content, and are now promoting free services to any of Laura's victims.

Wild turn of events.

I'm going to get into that story and all of this, plus so much more. It's coming up next

on The Rush. Well, there's some stories we can save for the end of the podcast, but I feel like

asteroids barreling to Earth needs to be covered at the top of the podcast. Have a listen.

Astronomers tracking two asteroids tonight, one on a collision course with

Earth, the first asteroid about the size of the Empire State building. It'll come within 1.3 million

miles of Earth overnight. And a much smaller asteroid burning up in the atmosphere over Siberia today,

just about 27 inches wide. Discovered just hours before it lit up the sky right there.

All right. So yeah, no worries. 1.3 million miles away.

I don't start worrying about asteroids until they're within the 1 million mile range, you know.

But still, I mean, what are we going to have to get Armageddon, the cast of Armageddon

together to blow up a big rock?
