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.

Hello everybody, happy Friday to you on this September 19th, 2025. I got all of your

stories for your rush hour ride to work. This episode actually

is going to be jam-packed. Normally I do a morning episode, an afternoon episode, but I got a big

day today. I'm actually filming something. You probably won't see it, but it requires me to be on

set. I got all these pages of dialogue. I got to memorize. And so a a lot going on so I won't be here for the

afternoon with that said we'll just give you more content to start your day how about that so

we're going to share Blake lively updates we got Blake lively versus Justin Baldoni but of course

the big cultural conversation the canceling of Jimmy Kimmel who Trump says next? We're going to cover all of that.

What other talk show hosts have said? People that have worked with Jimmy Kimmel. What does this

mean for our country moving forward? So we'll discuss all of that and more. It all starts right now

on The Rush. But boy, do I have some bad news for my Duncan fans out there? Do we have any fans of

Duncan? Do you use those stupid rewards? Why does every company have an app? You need a reward.

You go to McDonald's. Would you like to pay with your rewards? No, I don't. And people say,

come on, Dave. You get free French fries. Okay, maybe. But it looks like Duncan's is going to be deleting

the rewards. Duncan fans, bad news for you. The next time you go to cash in those reward points,

it's going to cost you. Cost you more. The chain revealed it'll be making some changes to its

loyalty program. Right now, you get 10 points for every dollar you spend, but starting in October, you'll need to spend more to get more.

That free donut that currently costs 250 points will now go for 300 points.

And get this, the complimentary cold brew will skyrocket from 500 points to 900.

They're not giving it away anymore. If you're a fan on the bites and bagels, though, some good news. What now goes for 600 points will come down to 500 points. All right, so listen, I mean, they're just finding new ways to boink you. That's all it is. Southwest getting rid of the free bags. Dunkins, uh, inflating how many points you need to get a free cold brew. I mean, tell me you don't care about us. Why don't you just, you know what I mean? And I mean, I got to tell you the Starbucks has a pretty robust point system. I spend an arm and a leg there. And every once in a while, I get free egg bites. So who's thriving? Okay, anyhow, let's move it on. Blake lively updates.
