0:00.0	Welcome to the rush hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride.
0:07.4	Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal.
0:14.2	Good afternoon, everybody.
0:16.2	On this Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025, I've got all of your stories for your rush hour ride home
0:22.4	recording on location here in the Caribbean Sea. We got a lot to get into. We got several
0:27.8	Justin Baldoni's stories as a man was arrested at Travis Kelsey's property, allegedly
0:33.3	trying to serve Taylor Swift, the story's stranger, the more you dive into it. We'll love that
0:37.9	and how Justin Baldoni continues to receive bad press. And then we're going to talk about
0:42.4	James Vanderbik. Again, the alum of Dawson Scrake, he had to miss the reunion script reading
0:49.0	as he's battling cancer. I'm going to share what he had to say. And then we've also got updates on
0:54.8	Jimmy Kimmel. If you'll be able to see him tonight, he is back on air, but not every station is
0:59.9	covering it. And then more on this corruption scandal embroiled around the border czar. So many
1:06.5	stories to get into. Oh yeah, and we'll discuss the rapture. All this and more, it starts right now on the rush. And now you might be wondering, Dave, you're still here on earth. Are you one of the heathens? You were not one of the chosen ones to get swept up into the heavens, not yet at least, not until you give me a five-star review. So let's dive into the, actually, you know, we'll save the rapture for a
1:28.2	second. Let's start off on this Justin Baldoni's story. This is, you know, some of the, again,
1:33.2	the stories from last week, but you're seeing the PR machines at play as the war continues for PR.
1:39.8	Justin Baldoni hires Diddy's lawyer as explosive legal battle with Blake lively heats up.
1:44.9	How ridiculous is that? How irresponsible of a title is that associating Justin Baldoni with
1:50.9	Diddy? Are you kidding me? Baldoni wasn't at any freakoffs. Baldoni's happily married.
1:56.6	A freak off to Baldoni is when they eat carbs and watch dancing with the stars. Are you serious? So to conflate Baldoni or put them into the same sentence as Diddy just because they share a lawyer, that's reckless. It's irresponsible. We'll get into the Taylor Swift story in a little bit. But first, let's dive into the rapture. It was supposed to be today. Hold on. Flag on the play. It's delayed. Have a listen.
2:17.7	A little bit of confusion about dates, but I can confirm now that people are saying that the
2:22.0	rapture is going to happen on Wednesday, September 25th, 2025. What about all the people that
2:29.6	sold their car yesterday? Now they have nowhere to go as they wait for the rapture. They've got to
