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 Monday to you, September 8th, 2025. I got all your news for your rush hour ride home. Congratulations. You made it to

Monday. And not any, we don't have any, you know, try to tell you guys, oh, we got the wildest

story today. We got a lot of singles. We, no home runs, just a couple, but some interesting stuff.

Updates in the Laura Owens versus Clayton Eckert trial, actually updates from Laura's old

attorney as he's making threats towards the community. Is he going to try to sue us? It's an honest

question to ask. I think you should always be prepared for it. Luckily, we've been growing our channel

and absolutely thriving. So if that time comes, we'll of course activate our audience to make

sure that we fight it. But yeah, I'll explain. I mean, you tell me, we'll read his blog. It's short.

We'll read it and you tell me what you think. And then we'll get into a couple other stories.

Not much in the Blake lively world, some things on the docket, all scheduling stuff. But I'm telling you what,

whenever you look out over the horizon and it looks nice and peaceful, there may be storms brewing ahead.

So we'll have those updates as they come. But, you know, I like to start with a good animal story once in a while.

Here's from the Milwaukee County Zoo.

I guess this was an elderly elephant. They needed a forklift to try to get him up.

A geriatric elephant at the Milwaukee County Zoo needed assistance getting back on her feet after tripping on a log Tuesday morning.

So there it is.

Everyone's cheering for the elephant.

Listen, I mean, if that's not any indication to get up out here, we're all complaining

about our Mondays.

We're not a geriatric elephant stuck in a zoo.

Now, I don't know.
