0:00.0	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.
0:13.8	Good morning, everybody. Happy Monday to you on this March 30th, 2026. I have all of your news for your rush hour ride to work. And we have a lot to
0:23.4	catch up on regarding what happened on Friday and has marinated over the weekend. Big wins for the
0:29.7	Baldoni content creators, those that have been covering the case against Blake lively. I'll share
0:35.7	what the judge had to say as he starts to clear up the
0:39.9	docket in preparation for the big filings, his response to the motion for summary judgment. If you
0:46.1	don't know what I'm talking about, I'm going to break it all down for you. We'll also discuss
0:50.0	boots arriving on the ground in the Middle East and what the hell that means for our countrymen
0:55.6	as we are about to enter the, I guess, widened stages of war, the version where I guess we're
1:02.4	sending people onto the grounds even though we didn't vote on it. I know it's a lot on a Monday

1:28.9	and was in the hospital for 21 days, but I think he's on the mend. So we'll get into that.
1:33.3	But the judge had also said some other things, which were very interesting, some pro-justin
1:38.3	baldoni, some anti-baldoni. And I'll share the victory lap that's being taken by either side.
1:45.4	Now, first, how about this? I got a comment that said, Dave, I've been subscribed to your
1:48.7	channel for over a year for some reason. Recently, I was unsubscribed and had to subscribe again.
1:54.3	Perhaps look into that if significant numbers of subscribers dropped off. Now, our channel's been
1:59.3	thriving and growing for a long time, but double
2:01.5	check. Look out there, folks. Are you subscribed or not? I don't think there's a grand conspiracy,
2:06.5	although I will say Instagram for sure has me on a list. If you search my name, I don't pop up.
