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.

Happy Monday to you on this February 23rd, 2026.

I have all of your news for your rush hour ride to work. We have so much to get

into. Where do we even begin? We'll talk a little bit about the men's U.S. hockey team winning

gold against Canada. Big way to end the Olympics. And then we've also got Donald Trump

possibly calling in under a pseudonym to C-SPAN. I'm going to play the audio clip for you. It's taking the internet by storm. You guys let me know.

family paid a thousand

bucks. Well, we get some sort of refund. Don't hold your breath, but we'll get into that.

Plus this war breaking out in parts of Mexico, it is so insane to report on what's happening

there, a drug kingpin killed by the Mexican army. And it seems as though now all hell is breaking

loose. These stories and more starts

right now on the rush. Okay, I'm going to get to this in a second, but I need to work my way into it.

I'm going to get to the Donald Trump calling in as a pseudonym to C-SPAN story in a second. And also,

we've got Trump wanting to sue Netflix. I know, hold on. There's a lot here. But first, let's go to some
