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.

Happy Friday to you out there, August 29th, 2025 on the cusp of a three-day weekend. Summer is over after this

weekend, so you better enjoy it. We got a lot to get into, though, for all of those on your rush hour

ride home. We are going to be talking about, oh, I don't even have my lower third set up. We got it

all. All-American rejects, electric cars. More on Blake lively. Megan

Kelly continues to burn calories doing a victory lap around Blake. Blake says, I never sued you.

She says, you sued my company, you son of a gun. So we'll get into that. And then more discussion

about the amount of government spending that is going to the National Guard,

which I guess is just picking up trash in Washington, D.C. The $400 million investment into

Alligator Alcatraz is now being closed. So we'll get into these stories. Lots to talk about

all that and more. It starts right now on the rush. And you guys are going to want to stick around for the Blake Lively tea.

I know we've been dribbling it out all literally for the last six months.

But, you know, the longer this pretrial goes on, the more of the back and forth,

the more you get to see sort of the game plans behind who's smearing who and whatnot. So we'll get

into that. But here is the star, you know, really should get rock star group of the year,

All-American Rejects, with their underground marketing that they've done, giving away concerts

directly to their audience. I mean, this is PR. This is how it's done.

You know, for anyone who's out there and wants to know, like, how to grow your channel,

you have to give. Find a way to give something to your audience. Don't try to take.

You will receive the more creativity you give. That's just the laws of the universe.
