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. It's Tuesday, November 26th, 2024, and we've got your pop culture news all in one place. And on today's episode of The Rush, we have Vanderpump Rules returning for a Season, but with a brand new cast, I'll give my thoughts both good and bad.

Plus we've got some travel tips ahead of the big holiday weekend. You're going to want to hear those. And Jason Kelsey sets some rules for friends asking for Taylor swift tickets. In short, he says. Don't plus Kristin Cavallari calls out Scott Disick for sliding into her DMS. And will Joe Rogan be invited to the white house to podcast?

What a time to be alive, folks. This is the world we live in, whether we chose it or not. I'm going to have all these stories and so much more, and it's all coming up next on the rush. All right. You might be traveling via airplane this holiday season. Maybe not, but if you are, it is kind of like the biggest travel time of the year.

We've got CBS mornings. Uh, good morning, America offering their thoughts on what you can and can't travel with through TSA. You can and cannot bring on an airplane. Our friends at Gothamist have looked it up. Some surprising answers. Okay. What do you got? Handcuffs. You can't? You can. You can do it. Oh, you can.

Okay. All right. I like that. Bowling. By the way, that's specifically for people who want bondage and the mile high club at once. That's a whole different segment. Pins. Tony, do you want to bring handcuffs? Bowling pins. No questions asked. TSA will not ask you any questions. Handcuffs are a yes. Bowling pins are a no.

They could be used to bludgeon. Yeah, you don't want to bludgeon people. You know, my wife got a tripod taken away, um, while traveling through TSA. I think you can bring tripods, but I had a monopod, which is like one stick of a tripod. And I guess they kind of look like a baton, and even though they wouldn't do much damage, I guess they count as a tool.

Basically, anything you can use in a bar fight, you can't bring onto an airplane. Antlers! Dear antlers. Dear antlers. Not allowed. Aloud. Aloud. Believe it or not. Because hunters, they Live lobsters also, yeah, you can bring them on as a kind of a trophy. But the antlers are so pointy. Wait, live lobsters what?

Live lobsters are a yes, okay from TSA. The airline sometimes has a different policy. They don't want you there, you know, without them. I'm surprised at the antlers because they're so pointy. I'm surprised also. It could be very dangerous. You can also bring cowboy spurs on, even though they're pointy, and could be a weapon.

Okay. Uh, magic eight ball. Is a no. Why? Apparently the magic inside is dangerous. This is stupid. Don't listen to anything they say. Uh, yeah, we've all made those mistakes. My wife accidentally one time traveled through an air, two different airports with a switchblade on her and they didn't catch it. You know what I mean?

Like she, it wasn't even a switchblade, it was like a legit pocket knife. Uh, you know, try not to do that, but hey. It happens, you know, it happens. All right. It's yes. So we have Vanderpump news. Vanderpump rules will be having a season 12, but it's going to have a complete new cast. Cover this on today's YouTube channel.

Uh, I think it's interesting, uh, on one end, it's a big move. Um, safety is something you always see work out when it comes to TV shows until it doesn't, you know, TV shows want to recreate the same thing over and over and over milk that golden cow. Uh, but our cash cow, I should say, but you know, sometimes it just stops working, you know, it's almost like that jump that by the way, jump the shark.

You guys know that term, jump the shark. It refers to a scene where the fawns. Fonzie, uh, Winkler, Henry Winkler. Yeah. Uh, was skiing on what? Happy days. Do I have this right? I could be butchering, butchering the story and he actually rode his skis over a ski jump, you know, water skis and jumped over a shark.

And that was the moment where people said, you know what, I think this show had its jump, the shark moment. And Vanderpump kind of had that with Scandal, it was like the biggest scandal of all time. And it just took away from the theme of the show, which is people that work in a restaurant banging each other.

And, uh, it became sort of like way more, I don't know, a celebrity driven as they kind of gained success. So I think it'll be good to get a young cast. Find me a couple hot. 24 year olds willing to say dumb things on camera and have their, you know, testosterone and, uh, endorphins raging. And, um, you know, see what mistakes they make with a couple of shots of Celsius and tequila.

You know what I mean? I'm just saying maybe, maybe it's a good thing. And I said this on the YouTube video, but if Vanderpump does. put together a good cast. I mean, that's, that's all that matters. Take Jersey Shore, right? They, they, they struck gold when they cast that show. This situation, Pauly D. Are you kid Snooki?

Are you Bump It? Are you kidding me? That cast was so good. Jersey Shore was supposed to have a new cast every year and they said, no, no, no, no. We're going to stick with this gold that we have. By the way, did I tell you this? Speaking of Jersey Shore, I, when I was in New York last week, I don't think I told you guys this.

Um, I actually did it. My, my standup show was the show after. So Vinny from Jersey Shore is doing stand up now. I'll be honest, uh, I don't think he had a great set, but he's probably right where he should be in his career. He has some performance, I mean, by all means, he's got a lot going on. He was, um, sort of like, what are the, like the MC for Chippendales or whatever?

Uh, or Magic Mike, one of those shows. So I think, I think it's great that he's getting into live stand up comedy, because what's better than getting on stage and making people laugh? Honestly, I think it's the best job in the world. Uh, and last night, actually, speaking of, I had a show at Zanie's. He's in Nashville and, um, uh, Nate Bargatze was on the show.

He, uh, has his CBS, uh, Christmas special coming out. He's been on SNL multiple times. And then in the other room was Theo Vaughn who just interviewed Donald Trump. So it's just crazy. It's just crazy when you mix with people like that, that are kind of part of a global conversation. You know, you, whether, if you're not in the standup world, you might not know those names, but they are mega, mega huge in the comedy world.

All right. So. Anyway, I'm digressing here, but back to Vanderpump, I'll be very interested to see how the new show does. My guess is, people will go, Oh, this character suck. And then one of the characters is going to do something so ridiculous, it's going to be talked about, and we're going to love it. I mean, that's my guess.

If they cast the right people. Now, if they cast people that are just looking to grow their it's here's, here's the irony, right? If they cast somebody who doesn't care about their social media following and just says whatever they're thinking, that person will probably take off in today's world, um, You know, new people getting into social media, getting into reality TV.

They're kind of curated in a way, a little worried about their image. So they have to do a good job in really finding the diamond in the rough. We'll have to see how that goes. Well, Jason Kelsey has advice for his friends and family when it comes to Taylor Swift tickets. Here's what he had to say on the rich eyes and show.

Phones ringing off the hook. I'm sure it's ringing. Uh, have you said no as these many times your entire life or what? You must be no. Yeah, it's definitely it's a lot of no's. It's a lot of I mean i'm trying to just return people Uh reaching out whether it's calls or texts, right? Luckily. I have emily over there who helps me out majorly, right?

Um, but it's um, yeah, it's been a whirlwind. It's been it's been a very You know Over the past two years between the podcast, the Super Bowl with Travis, Travis Dayton Taylor. It has been a, a very whirlwind of events. I mean, you never think of this, right. And I love to think about it, but Taylor Swift deciding to respond to Jason, uh, to Travis Kelsey.

on the Kansas City Chiefs. He, you know, he shot his shot. I mean, it really, if, if their relationship does work out and stand the test of time, it is going to go down as one of the most romantic pop star NFL storylines of all time. I mean, it's Nicholas Sparks worthy, right? This is the notebook on steroids.

Uh, no pun intended here. Not that these guys are, uh, they're hunky. I don't think they're on the roids. Uh, but, uh, it's, it's just wild. He shoots his shot with the biggest pop star in the world. And all of a sudden they're dating and it's, and now everyone's surrounding them is like benefiting from the abundance of Taylor Swift.

So here we have Jason Kelsey, essentially a no name offensive lineman. And by that, I mean, If you weren't following the Eagles, you just didn't know this guy. Now he retires and he's more successful now because it was sort of the lore of him. He's kind of like, he's just that every man with the beard. And he, he'll, he'll walk by your, uh, you know, your pregame at the, you know, in the parking lot and we'll shoot a beer pong shot and chug a beer with you.

I mean, this guy, everyone wants to be with him. So, so what do you say more? No. To people asking you to do something for them professionally or asking for tickets to a Taylor Swift concert? What's what's the number of no more for you the um, You know, thankfully I don't get a lot of people reaching out.

Okay for Taylor Swift tickets. Okay It is an immediate no. I don't get a lot of that. Um, as much as Taylor has said she will take care of anybody that I ask for. Are you serious? She does say that. She's very, she's great, but I still say no to everybody. Yeah, can you imagine that? Taylor's like, yeah, anybody you want.

And then he's got like friends from high school being like, my daughter would love it. And it's like, all right, buddy. You know, it's like Jason Kelsey needs to make sure he doesn't burn the, like everyone wants to make sure they don't overdo and exploit the Taylor Swift connection. And that's. It's just so special.

That's what I love about this family and this community is that they know to protect this because it's bigger than Taylor. Like she doesn't control how big her audience is. She just has to live in this ecosystem. So they did a good job of keeping the relationship under wraps for as long as they could.

And now they're kind of like comfortable, not exploiting it, but just talking about it and of course just trying to live their life. Yeah, because I'm not going to be the one to impose on that. I'm not, I don't want to put that position out there. She's been nothing but lovely to our family. She's a wonderful person and I don't want that to kind of be a dynamic.

So, so she's giving you the clear path to the tickets and you're just shutting it down. Yeah, makes sense. Yeah, because after a while, I mean, you know, Once, twice, three times. Where's the line? Exactly. So I'm not even broaching the line. I'm staying away from the line. You stay away from the line. There you go.

Uh, Jason goes, you know what? You get your own pop star, uh, connection and then you come talk to me about it. All right. Well, I got some more news stories, a lot of things to get into. Stick around. We'll be back with those right after this. All right, let's do a couple headlines before we get to our featured story, which is Kristin Cavallari Calamari, uh, calling out Scott Disick for sliding into her DMS.

Here we have a different story at 17 years young. Sophia just broke her brother's record for youngest to pass the California bar. Could you imagine passing the California bar at the age of 17 years old? Hey, want to go buy some cigarettes and be my lawyer? I can be your lawyer. I can't buy cigarettes. She can't serve the military, but she can serve subpoenas.

Uh, I don't know if those even line up, but yeah, I'm just going for the joke here. Uh, this is interesting. Sophia Park, the prodigious young law student who just became the youngest person to pass the California state bar. She's passing the state bar at 17 years old, and I can't even pronounce prodigious.

Right. A prod, prod, prod, prodigious, whatever. Uh, she, so anyhow, she's, uh, but here, this is the, does anyone want a 17 year old representing the in court. I like my lawyers like I like my bartenders grizzly old. That's what I want. I want somebody who knows the law front and back and who can make me an old fashioned.

That's what I want. Uh, but Hey, I mean, she's gotten, gotten off to a great start. I'm sure she'll, uh, mate, you know, maybe she should prosecute like Gen Z crimes. You know, any tick tock related legal matters are handled by Sophia Park. Uh, she, she knows tick tock law, like the front, like the back of her hand.

Okay. In other news, Kaley Cuoco jokes that being a mom to her daughter Matilda is like taking care of your drunk best friend every day. Boy, that's the best way to put it. You know what I mean? Taking care of a child is like taking care of a drunk friend. You gotta support the neck. There might be poop on them.

You just, like, you don't know what's gonna happen. Get your burp cloth ready. It's a, it's a, we've all been there. And finally, Will Ferrell says the secret to 24 years of marriage with wife Vivica Paulin is making each other laugh. Well, that might be true, but also the millions of dollars they have also helps.

You know, the biggest indicator of a divorce is kind of whether or not, you know, well, don't get me wrong. Rich people get divorced too, but I think fighting over things like what you spend your money on and, uh, you know, are we going to take a vacation or am I going to work overtime? You know, maxing yourself, redlining it, those aren't good for relationships.

So I think for anyone out there, the best, the best thing for a relationship, obviously communicating with each other and laughter is a great form of communication, but But also making sure, you know, you're not, uh, you know, uh, I don't know, having, having petty arguments. All right. We covered this story a few months ago.

Tyreek Hill was arrested and roughed up, uh, or I shouldn't say he wasn't arrested, but he was cuffed and roughed up by traffic cops on the way to his Miami dolphins football game. While the traffic citations that he was hit with, uh, following the run in with cops have been dismissed again. I mean, he should sue these cops.

They literally. Put him face down on the ground all because they said he was going a hundred miles an hour. As it turns out, he was going like 50 in a 35 or something like that. It caused a big, uh, sort of a internet. It was an internet sensation because we look at the body cam footage. People look at this.

Some people side with the cops. Some people side with, and it's like, what side are you on? Sometimes what side you're on can kind of be like, Do you blindly follow the police or do you follow like humanity? And I think we could tell there was no reason for him being roughed up the way that he was regardless of what he's done in his life or his personal, it's like, like looking in as a human situation.

I think I would make a great judge. I look at the body cam footage. I go, you went too far. All right. You're suspended without pay for a month. You know what I mean? I don't know. What do I know? Uh, do I have that jurisdiction to be a judge? Wendy Williams is permanently incapacitated from dementia, says her guardian, which is so sad in court documents.

They say, yeah, she's afflicted by early onset dementia. And as a result has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated. What a nightmare scenario to be going through. Um, you know, to have. I guess celebrity and money and, and fame and all those things. And then you, you kind of like your, your, your brain and your body don't, you know, shut down early.

It's just a really, real scary stuff out there. Uh, but we wish her well, um, hope she's, um, pain free and all that. Kristen Cavallari, uh, is ranting on our podcast. We shared yesterday, Jeff Dye was ranting about her exposing him. Well, now she's exposing Scott Disick. Uh, here's what she has to say about, uh, the.

Keeping up with the Kardashians star sliding into the DMs. Years later now, here we are. Okay. So if you guys listen to the podcast, the last month or so, I've been ripping on the fucking Kardashians. Okay. Haven't held back. Well, what interesting timing. Your audio sucks. I'm on Instagram from Scott fucking Disick, and I'm going to read it to you guys.

And I'm going to read it to you guys because I don't give a flying fuck. I wish she gave a flying fuck about how bad her audio is. I mean, I wish I had a house as nice as hers. She's, she records in this giant palatial house, but it's like, can you put down a Persian rug so we don't have much echo? Sound treat your house.

Get crystal clear. a rug. Uh, maybe ruggable could sponsor her. And by the way, I mean, even a placemat would, would kind of help with some of this echo. I, uh, I want to get Kristen on my podcast, but she's enormous. So if anyone has any connections to Kristen Cavallari, let her know. Dave Neal lives in Nashville now and he wants to have her on the rush hour.

They fucked with me for these many years and you don't get to just do this. And if this is not the most manipulative text I've ever gotten, well then I don't know what is. Is she, sounds like she's recording in a racquetball court. Guys, this is classic. Cavallari's podcast. We're at a Swedish bathhouse.

Textbook manipulation control bullshit. Okay. This is what it says. Hey! Three exclamation points. It's been such a long time, it's crazy. Kind of crazy that our lives also ended up being kind of similar. I feel like it would be so good to see you and catch up and just talk about the stress and all the different things you gotta go through with kids and changing your life around over and over.

Really miss you though, and wish I would have reached out earlier. Just been so busy trying to be the best. best dad I can be. I don't have time for much, but trying to think about myself a little bit again or trying anyway, he's raising kids. She's dating kids. Now I'm just making fun. She had a young boyfriend.

He was of overage. He was older than the lawyer. Hope to hear from you. Just text me so it's easier to chat. I said to Justin, how funny would it be if he left me Chris Jenner's phone number? I call, she's all, Hey, Evan, I want to talk to you. Um, this is, I don't know the behind the scenes with Kris Jenner. I don't know what, I don't know what's relevant.

I don't, does anyone, I don't understand the Kristen Cavallari beef with the Kardashians, but Hey, I mean, I think I love a good, I love a good reality TV beef, like classic. Manipulation. I miss you. Oh, Scott, you miss me after 17 years? No, that timing is not lost on me that as I'm ripping on the Kardashians, calling them out for shit.

Now they want to send in Scott. This kind of goes back to the Britney Spears thing that I was talking about. You guys, this is Hollywood. This is Hollywood. When you're out there talking and they don't like that, this is what they do. Could it be now, now, hold on, let me just float this Kristen. Could it be he wants to reconnect with you so that he could sit you down and tell you that your audio sucks?

Your audio sucks. I mean, I don't know either way. Look, I love it. I'm just ripping on her. Cause she has a 10 million home and doesn't have one sound treated panel. Uh, you know what I mean? It's like, what do you, like, what are you recording from the halls of the Capitol? Like, where are you right now in a long hallway at the airport?

It sounds atrocious. It's one. One more time. Your audio sucks. All right. We're going to move it on. I've got, uh, people asking Donald Trump jr. If he's going to have Joe Rogan at the white house. What world do we live in folks? I'll have that story for you next. Here it is. Don jr. Son of president elect Don Trump, uh, talking about opening up the press briefing room to podcasters.

But we had the conversation about opening up. the press room to a lot of these independent journalists. Like, you know, why should, if the New York times has lied, they've been adverse to everything. They're functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat party. Like why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships?

Uh, stronger followings. Like, it's not like the New York. I mean, how much money are they losing a year? The Washington Post, what? Lost 70 to 45 to $70 million. You know, by the way, the Washington Post failed to endorse, uh, who the editors wanted to, uh, partially because they were owned and operated by a billionaire.

Uh, but I don't hate the idea. I just think you have to make sure you have dissenting opinions. Whether you're a Democrat or Republican or independent, you need dissenting opinions and. dissenting journalists that are there to ask tough questions, get a David Pacman, get, um, get, uh, crystal ball from breaking points, get, uh, Chank Ugar, Ugar from, uh, uh, the young Turks get on, get on progressive voices so that you can have that conversation.

If they, if we truly want the country to be as best as it can be, we need to get, uh, journalists and people that represent voices from all over the country. Doesn't seem like they're a great success. So just because they've been there longer, it's like the way Congress functions. Like you get a committee, not because you know anything about banking, but because you've been there longer and it's like, right.

Doesn't seem like a great way to do things. So we, we've had that conversation like, that's a great idea, Don. I was like, I think we should do this. And so that may be in the works. Let's see, that's gonna blow up some heads, so, you know, we'll, well look, I mean, I don't think, I don't think Joe Rogan. Knows even the right questions to ask.

He's just a very agreeable host. And this is the problem with podcasting is like you do need journalism. You do need people there to ask tough questions. We just need to make sure that the people asking the tough questions are doing it in good faith. All right. Here's a very interesting story about tariffs.

You might not want to hear about politics, but this could affect. Uh, the world we live in. Uh, Trump did a post on truth that he's going to be doing large tariffs, which is a tax to the Mec to Mexico goods imported and Canada, Canadian goods imported. I've also got, uh, what Justin Trudeau has to say about this.

Have a listen. If you voted for Trump because you thought he was going to bring grocery prices down, I have some very bad news for you. Donald Trump wants to hit Canada and China and Mexico in their wallets. which means tariffs. The president elect on truth social, of course, promising to penalize both neighbors to the north and to the south with a 25 percent tariff on all products entering the U.

S. A lot of our produce comes from Mexico. That's why I decided to stock up on avocados today. I bought a whole shipment of avocados. They'll all be stale by tomorrow. Uh, no, but seriously, and my son just started, uh, today's his first day trying an avocado, you know, six months old, that fresh avocado energy.

Oh, he's going to love it. We love a good Avi. Uh, but yeah, I mean, look, the tariff is a tax on the, on the, on the person consuming it. So this is gonna, this could raise prices by a lot. Um, you know, it, it, maybe it won't, you know what I mean? We'll have to see what happens. This is what they call fuck around and find out.

So, two thirds of the tomatoes that Americans purchase are from Mexico. 90 percent of the avocados that they purchase are from Mexico, just to mention two examples. So, that guac is definitely going to cost extra. Oh, funny. Geez, they're already upcharging us on the guac. So anyway, here's what Justin Trudeau had to say about the 25 percent tariff threat.

I had a good call with Donald Trump last night again. We obviously talked about, um, Laying out the facts, talking about how, uh, how the intense and, uh, effective connections between our two countries, uh, flow back and forth. We talked about some of the challenges that we can work on together. Um, it was a good call.

It's, it's, uh, this is, uh, something that, uh, we can do. Uh, laying out the facts. Moving forward in constructive ways. Um, this is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on, and that's what we'll do. Now. I like the idea of certain tariffs to encourage more, uh, production within the U S I do think we need to ramp up our production for a lot of things, but you know, there's, there's things that you just buy that you import that there's no way we can make them at that cost here.

So it'll be interesting, but, uh, I apparently the Mexican leadership said that in retaliation, they're going to be putting a tariff on American. So, it looks like this could get pretty ugly, but hey, we signed up for it, right? Alright, in our final story, Dancing with the Stars finale is tonight. I will be wearing my sequined thong as I like to do when I do the basso doble.

Uh, that's just for me. I shouldn't have shared it. Too much info. Uh, well, here we have Gleb coming back. Gleb Savchenko coming back with his partner Brooks Nader. Um, she said they were getting their tattoos removed since they broke up, but are they back together? Here's what he had to say. The world is still confused about you and Brooks.

Were they? Weren't they? What can you say? Listen, everything's on TikTok. Literally, you should just go from her page to my page. Everything is in there. There was some confusion because sometimes she would be saying like, Oh, I didn't even know we were together. And then you would respond. We were a little confused.

What can you say about that? All confused. I'm also confused. Oh, yeah. He's like, I'm confused. I'm dating a lady who was, you know, uh, you know, a sports illustrated model. You think I'm going to get a straight answer out of her? You know what I mean? She's like, I'm single till you put a ring on it. And he's like, well, I'm going to have to do some more Paso Doble's to afford that lifestyle.

Either way, they'll be there tonight. I'm rooting for Steven Neterozic. Although I think Chandler, I'd be happy if Joey wins from The Bachelor. That would be great if he wins. Um, I don't think Alona's gonna win. I don't think she has a shot. Uh, who else? Who am I missing? I'm definitely missing somebody right now.

I thought there was five in the finale. Uh, either way, uh, no, we have Joey. We have Alona, Steven, who the heck am I missing? I'm missing somebody. Of course, Danny Amendola. Okay, that rounds it up. Uh, good luck to all of them tonight. May the best dancer win. I'm Dave Neal. This is The Rush.
