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 hump day to you. It is March 5th, 2025. I've got all your news for your rush hour ride to work, and here's

what we got today. Bald Eagles were born in Big Bear, motion to rename it Big Eagle, a big

win for the California park. Also, in other animal news, we're going to start this episode with

some nice animal stories, fluffy ones,

to get our mood right for all the serious topics out there. I guess they've merged a mouse

with a woolly mammoth and created a woolly mouse. This is the start of a horror film,

if you ask me. Speaking of horror, Alec Baldwin recounts the sort of terrible year he had following the shooting death of Helena Hutchins.

And he's got a reality show where he, I guess, was exposed that he considered taking his life after having survivors' remorse.

So we'll share that story.

And also in the Blake lively Justin Baldoni world, big win for

the New York Times, not so much for Justin Baldoni as the court suspends proceedings and waits to hear

if they're going to dismiss New York Times from the case. I'll explain all of that. And in the

TerraF world, a prime minister candidate in Canada says if she's elected, there'll be 100% tariffs on Tesla.

I'll also discuss Trump's speech last night.

You know, give a general overview of my thoughts about it and also the Democratic response to that speech.

So lots to get into.

We're all over the map. Let's start it right now on get into. We're all over the map.

Let's start it right now on The Rush.

Well, it's the morning, so we have to start with a feel-good story.

Jackie and Shadow, the bald eagles known in Big Bear.
