Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special Friday, May 1st afternoon episode of the Rush Hour podcast, your boy, Dave Neal here.

And we are doing this live. It's been a while. For those listening on the audio version of the podcast, this might be a little bit more interactive than normal.

I'd be reading from chats from our audience.

And so much to get into, it's been so long.

As you guys know, if you've followed me for a while, we used to do lives all the time.

I do them privately with my Patreon every day.

But boy, do I feel a little befuddled coming to you guys right now.

We will discuss so much. I've got Taylor Frankie

Paul in a restraining order hearing with her ex, a very sort of emotional moment there,

regardless of what you think of her. Then we've also got Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni.

That trial is just weeks away. I'll show you some of the artwork I'm working with to get my

reporting off the ground. My wife calls me a gumshoe. I guess I'm a gumshoe now. I don't know.

Am I a gumshoe? Gumshoe, Dave. And then we'll also be talking a little bit about the Justice

for Clayton movement as the offer of a plea deal with Laura Owens.

The time has expired, although there really isn't too much to the shot clock as it were.

There may or may not be a deal worked out. I have no insider information, which usually means

no deal. We'll get into that. What else can we talk about? I think we're going to have some updates on Candace Owens. Yeah, that's right. I got a little birthday sign there for those listening to the audio. That's my birthday button. So everyone gets to wish me a happy birthday when I go into Starbucks, which by the way, if you guys didn't know this, you get a free Starbucks on your birthday. if you have the app. I load that puppy up.

I load it up until I have gastrointestinal issues. How is your Starbucks birthday coffee?

Well, I shit my pants for two hours. Then you did it right. So that's a little shout out

from my lactose intolerant friends. And everyone in the comments section saying, hello, good to see you.

Good to see everybody out there. So I guess we'll just start to dive into this in a second i did want to share some artwork that i was designing you guys know me graphic artist of the sort of artificial

variety here's here's what i'm looking at let me let me get a second to pull this one up i'm looking for
