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. It's Hump Day Wednesday, February 19th, 2025, and I've got all of your updates for your rush hour

ride home. What a wild midweek drama session we have, really. We'll get into all of that.

Monica Lewinsky stops by the Today Show, play that clip for you. And also tennis drama,

a very bizarre situation where a man shows up and crashes someone's tennis match. They leave crying, caught it on

camera. Also, Blake lively, of course, in the news after her amended complaint drops, so much to

get into. We'll be focusing on the missing emoji section. She offers a pretty decent excuse

as to why the emoji was missing the quarter billion

dollar emoji.

Now, that doesn't mean she's on the right side of the story, but it could lay the framework

for her throwing a PR person under the bus.

We'll share all of that.

And also kind of tragic and sad updates on the war in Ukraine as we've got new information coming out a sort of

I would call it flat out lies about who started this war and we're going to get updates from some of our international journalists as we continue to cover that story and so much more.

It's all coming up next on The Rush. Well, everybody's got a podcast these days,

and so often we say, do you really have anything worth talking about? Well, Monica Kulwinski

certainly does. She's got a new podcast coming out called Reclaiming, and she says she's not going to be

judging her guests. Here she was on the Today Show, sharing her story. I feel like you are a really good listener, and people end up talking to you and sharing

things with you that they, I don't know, do you think it's because they kind of recognize that

you have this, you have a certain amount of compassion just within you, having gone through

what you've gone through. Yeah. You know, I've actually been that way since I was a kid.
