It is the 1st of October, 2024. It's a big one for you. All right. Get out your Oktoberfest boots that you like to wear. You know, those knee high tan ones.

All the girls wear it's pumpkin spice latte season. Hocus Pocus is on the DVR. We're just living this with our cinnamon smells everywhere. On the morning rush hour today, we've got Maddie Prewett, bachelor star, Maddie Prewett announcing she and billionaire bad boy, husband Grant Trout have moved to Nashville.

Yes, that's right It's a wild morning here all these stories and more coming up next on the rush Well, folks, you're not going to believe this, but the news moves so fast, uh, here in bachelor nation. I was preparing to share for you guys the Instagram reel of Caitlin Bristow announcing her conspiracy, but it has disappeared.

Why did it disappear? Well, it looks like it just hit the 24 hour mark where it goes away forever. Uh, but I can summarize Caitlin Bristow hypothesizes that the garbage disposal is broken. at the mansion where they film Golden Bachelor, Golden Bachelorette, uh, because it was also broken when she was the lead on the show some 29 years ago, whenever it was seven years ago, four years ago, what's the difference, right?

Uh, but she says she thinks the garbage disposal is Broken on purpose, that way the dishes pile up and it creates a lot of stress and friction amongst the cast members who are forced to cook and rub elbows with each other. I don't know if that's true, but that would, I would literally need to get some sort of Emmy award for the producer who thought up, Hey, let's mess up the garbage disposal.

Wouldn't that be annoying if there was just like a small. like little things in the mansion are going wrong. The, the water pressure's weak. Uh, it gets really hot and then really cold, you know, just the little things that can really mess people up. Well, speaking of bachelor, let's get to the news. We didn't have time to cover before it is a birthday or excuse me, a baby on the way for Kendall long.

Of course, she, uh, she is a bachelor fan favorite for her weird nature Instagram. She's collaborated with Blake Moynes, although not with this baby. We assume it's not Blake's, it's probably our husband's. She said we have had quite the escapade these past few years, but our most exciting adventure is yet to come.

Baby Sage Lee due February, 2025. So very excited for her. Congratulations. And Colton Underwood announced he's got his bundle of joy, announces the son's name and birthday. And I guess they get added points for the amount of names. The baby's name is Bishop Colton Brown Dash Underwood. Uh, our world is a million times better with you in it, he says.

Uh, he was born on Thursday, September 26th, a smidge earlier than his expected. Do date. Well, I got to tell you, nothing changes you like having a baby to care for. It really takes a lot of, um, the selflessness or the selfishness. I should say out of the world, you now have something more important than yourself.

And Hey, no, that was probably gonna be a good thing for them. Uh, you know, I've been one who's, I've been very critical of Colton for, you know, what he put his ex Cassie Randolph through, uh, and, you know, to say, well, did he pay the price or not? You know, publicly he's, you know, taking accountability. I guess, uh, but you know, also him, you know, probably convinced Cassie to sign some sort of NDA.

So they'll never talk about those nightmarish times during the pandemic. Uh, hopefully he's living a more authentic and true version of himself that that'll make him the best dad he can be is if he's authentic and can teach his son some of those values. Uh, I would say this though. Please keep your kid away from reality TV.

It does a number on people. And speaking of reality TV, selling sunset is reportedly on the brink of cancellation due to a feud between cast and producers. Radar online posted this Chris shell, Emma and Chelsea are all threatening to quit and sue the producers for creating fake storylines that are damaging.

A lot of the cast are saying they are done being lied to and misled for ratings. They're resigned to the show closing down and are predicting it will end with a bitter showdown in the courts that could leave everyone flat broke. Well, first of all, they. probably don't have as high powering lawyers as the production company does.

So I'd be very careful what you wish for there. Um, I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure. I wonder like I've always take the side of contestants because often they're mischaracterized, misreported in this and that. So it would be very interesting to follow what might go down. If they do decide to take their production company to court, depending on what is, you know, shown in the contracts of how they're, you know, I'll say this in most contracts, they say like, we can do whatever the hell we want with your likeness.

I don't necessarily think that's right. I think there needs to be some sort of ethical concern where, you know, You, you know, but, but at the same time, are they allowed to, you know, at, at, at what's the gray area, I guess is what it comes down to. And again, this lawsuit probably stems from the idea that, uh, Nicole lied, or I guess made up rumors about, um, about, uh, there being sort of, uh, a, a cheating scandal, a homewrecker scandal, Chris shell came out going, I've had enough.

I'll never work with her. The producers need to pay. Well, let's see. Let's see what all goes down. It could be very interesting. And, you know, these rumors are really damning because it's hard to prove a negative. Like if, if you say, Oh, so and so cheated on so and so or so and so is a homewrecker. You can't prove that somebody's not, if they never did it.

Right. Does that make sense? You know, anyhow, um, it makes, uh, you know, Selling Sunset odd. They jumped the shark a long time ago. You know, it's such a bizarre show. Everyone's got plastic surgery. Everyone's an insane, like if you never came to the United States and you thought everybody looked like how the people look on Selling Sunset, I mean, it's absolutely Ridiculous.

It's the opulence, you know, no one's as rich as they come off being. They're all dressed like crazy. It's a, it's a, it's a TV show and it's all made up. It's, it's all made up. So anyhow, but people don't believe that people believe it's real. So they, they're it, while it's made up, their character is kind of, uh, you know, no one ever watches a fiction.

No one ever watches X Files and goes, Oh, Dana Scully's, you know, whatever. It's like, no, it's, Made up, you know, it's made up, but reality TV, when you make up a storyline, it lingers and follows people into their real lives. All right. Speaking of real lives and reality stars, Maddie Prewett, uh, the evangelical influencer, uh, has announced she's moving from Waco, Texas, or has already moved.

Here's what she had to say on her state true podcast about where she lives. He asked to say that, where are we, where are we? I mean, we're looking out. Into a city right now. Into a city. That starts with the letter T and ends with the letter. No, starts with the city. Oh. I was like T. Wait, where are we? We now live in.

Nashville, Tennessee. Well, it looks like they followed me here. Um, we'll have to see if they want to come on driving with Dave. My guess is that won't happen, but Hey, I'd welcome them. Absolutely. Let's chat. Now they decided to podcast from, I guess their new place, but they haven't unboxed anything. So the acoustics, let me just warn people when.

It's hard to podcast when you haven't unboxed anything, you know, your walls are bare. You don't have artwork or, you know, you know, rugs, carpets, accoutrements, lamps, you know, things that break up the echo. So the echo is pretty bad, but Hey, this is a, this is a, I'm, trust me living in Nashville. This is a pretty biblical city.

There's a lot of, uh, there's a lot, there's a lot happening here. So I think they're going to enjoy it. You guys. I feel so Morgan Wallen, man. Like I feel so Luke Bryan on him. It's been so fun. We are in the music city. We are in like, we're not in downtown Nashville, but we do feel a little downtown ish.

This is our official, like, this is where, this is us saying Oh yeah, guys, we moved to Nashville, Tennessee. But this is like, no one's heard this, right? No, no one knows. Guys, we moved to Nashville, Tennessee. We're in Nashville, baby! On the low, and it's Honestly, the greatest place ever, by the way, he's a white guy.

I don't know what he sounds like, but he, he doesn't look like what he sounds like. I'll put it that way. He's kind of that character, the intern from 30 rock. What was that guys? And you know, you know, I'm talking about that. That's the kind of the vibe I get. I mean that with all due respect. So I'm sure they have a mega mansion.

I mean, some of the colossal homes in the suburbs here are just insane. I'm very much looking forward to getting a house tour and seeing what, uh, the good Lord has provided them here. Well, the Lord doesn't do a state income tax, uh, in Tennessee. So they're off. I mean, they didn't have that in Texas anyway, but property, uh, property, uh, taxes are low here.

So I'm sure they're going to continue to spread their empire as it were. Well, I've got a pretty interesting minute long conversation to share with you about Maddie. And Grant here talking about the expectations of sex. In marriage versus what it's really been like, um, as of course, Maddie entered the marriage of virgin.

Uh, that's not, uh, information we're privy to. I mean, that's like well known. She literally put on her veil worth the weight and he of course didn't. But, um, did she, did it live up to expectations? That's the question we have. We'll take a quick break and we'll be back with that right after this. Alright, here's Maddie and Grant talking about sex, and I know, guys, I know, it's an early one, it's the start of the new month, we gotta start somewhere, I know you care a lot about this, here's what they have to say.

Sex and marriage, I was not a virgin, she was, having to work through thoughts, and The music in the background, by the way, and having to work through expectations of where she's like, I waited. So God's going to bless this. It's going to be the best thing in the whole entire world. She's like, God's going to bless this and Grant's like, listen, my, my, my game ain't that good.

All right. God, God ain't blessing my game. Trust me. I can't. You want to call one of my exes every day of my life and I'm like, I come in with these crazy expectations and all I was going off of were these like Hollywood movies, you know, where it's like just whatever, however they paint the picture that's extremely unrealistic and they usually are painting it in a sinful way.

And so that's all I had to really go off of. And so, yeah, it was a lot of, I think us both working through and having to learn how to communicate because a lot of times I would communicate things that were really hurtful for him to hear and you know, and vice versa. And it was just like a. Hey, we want to be honest, but what is the best way we can communicate and even putting mentors in our life to be like, Hey, help us like work through this in our marriage and also individually, because it's not helpful for my husband, for me to vocalize every feeling or fear or thought that I have towards this, every insecurity I have.

And so, yeah, I think it was definitely a lot of communication. There it is. Hey, you need communication. Now, look, people think I bash the idea of waiting till marriage. No, not at all. I don't care if you wait or never have sex or do it every day as long as it's consensual. I don't care what people do with their body.

Which is kind of my point, which is I don't care so much what people do with their body. That I want people to have autonomy over what to do with their body. So when I kind of rag on the people that are like hardcore wait till marriage, it's not that I'm ragging on you and your choice. It's that Maddie's kind of like in, like I said, an evangelical influencer.

So by promoting purity culture, you're not just saying that you're saying, this is the only way, this is This is the, this is the way God intended and look, I don't think, I don't think God cared if you knocked boats, bumped uglies, did the horizontal tango, the mambo, whatever the mambo number five, uh, I don't think God, I don't care what you did to get to where you are.

Some people experiment early on in their life. And some people, you know, it bits and pieces and have a healthier relationship with their body and sex than others. And some people like, you know, are scarred because when they were 12, the pastor made them put a t shirt on when they went to the pool and they felt objectified before they went, you know what I mean?

Like everybody's different. We talked to Dr. We talked to Dr. Laura Anderson all the time. Dr. Laura's fantastic. She talks about, and again, she's been on the podcast several times, but you can go see Dr. Laura. I'm pulling it up right now on Instagram. She always, she's so good at breaking down these things.

She, her Instagram byline is helping you heal from religious trauma, founder of trauma resolutions and recovery. And then it's Dr. Laura Anderson on Instagram. And she's really good at talking about religious trauma. In fact, Now that Maddie lives in Nashville, I would love it if Maddie and Dr. Laura got together.

Maybe, just maybe, Maddie, I mean, Maddie can still, you know, worship her God and live a happy life, but maybe she can work through some of those feelings she's now admitting to having after putting a lot of weight behind, Losing it for the first time. Listen, Maddie, let me be the first to tell you some sex is good.

Some sex is bad. It gets a little predictable. And the more something gets predictable, the harder it is to find that dopamine. You need to get freaky in there. This would be the greatest place if I had a sex toy sponsorship, but I don't. So it fill in the blanks, uh, your, your, your move, uh, Adam and Eve get a discount code for you.

All right. Anyhow, uh, so we're happy for Maddie and Grant and, uh, yeah, uh, get freaky, enjoy Nashville and, um, we'll see out there, let's move it along. Oh boy. We got one for all of my screen minded folks out there. Kristen Bell shares the trick that she and her husband, Dak Shepard are using to introduce their two daughters to smartphones.

As you guys know, I've taken quite a little bit of heat online for saying we're not going to let our kid have smartphones or devices, and here's what, uh, Kristen Bell has to say. daughters are 11 and nine. Do you let them use social media and what types of conversations are you having about it? They do not have phones.

They have iPods that they can like use for music and stuff. And I guess they can text with grandma at home because it's on the wifi. But um, I mean, to be honest, the initial conversations we had with our kids were about how phones are a trick. We felt like that was like a interesting way to introduce them.

Like, whenever my husband and I would pick up our phone, we would go, Oh, you know, this phone, it has all these tricks inside that make me want to come back to it. So that they kind of developed a little bit of a suspicion about it, which was really helpful. And yeah, and then to be honest, I'm just glad people are, are researching it and exploring it because it's sort of like with every piece of new technology.

Cars are so great. We can get everywhere. And then we're like, whoops, accidents. We got to do seatbelts. Yeah. I like the analogy with seatbelts and it's all about education. You know, it's all about education. And the, the idea of teaching your kids, what dopamine is like, they're not going to understand what dopamine is because a lot of adults don't understand what dopamine is.

And as we explained what that was with Maddie and Grant using the sex analogy, dopamines. When you need a brownie. Oh, it tastes good. Brownie is so good. I love sweets. So I'm going to eat another one. And then eventually second, third, or if you're like me, the fifth, that brownie is not going to fill that urge that you had.

And you're going to feel bad. It's going to be low energy. That's what scrolling is. Doom scrolling online. And these devices were built to infiltrate the brain and make you addicted. And that's exactly what they do. And if we can't admit that as parents, how the hell can we? Are we going to help institute change?

Now I got a five month old, uh, happy birthday, August. And he's not at the age where I need to worry about, you know, the sort of consciously like how he handles it, but there will be a time, I don't know where, whether it's 13 or 14 or 11, I don't know what the age is where you have to like teach them how to manage that time.

But like I said, as adults, we have yet to learn all of the tricks. Uh, as a society where we are overblown and addicted. So anyhow, I'll tell you this though, when I was in Best Buy the other day, my son was glued to the TVs as we were walking by. I mean, it's, it's almost, it's, it's chocolate for your eyes.

You can't, you can't stop it. So what we try to do is we, when, when we're watching TV, we have to make sure that the baby can't see the screen. And he's facing in the other direction and we keep him occupied with toys. And, you know, as we get older, we're going to have to, we're going to have to find new ways to manage that.

And we might have to get friend groups that also agree to, to limit the, the interaction with, with the screens. And it's, it's a tough one folks. And I know, I know I've triggered a lot of people by talking about it, but it is something we're all going to have to come to terms with as we sort of, um, you know, navigate, What in how, how, how deadly this addiction can be and not deadly in the sense that like a seatbelt is a, it's like a life or death where, you know, but it's, but longterm, I mean, it can, it can really atrophy the mind and also the eyeballs.

They're doing studies that people have worse peripheral vision now because they're stuck on their phones. All right. Well, it's October 1st and I've got an update for you. We no longer have one moon in our system here, orbiting earth. There are two. Let's welcome moon. And by the way, we need to name this moon.

Earth is about to get a second moon for two whole months. So there's a small asteroid that is going to orbit Earth from September 29th to November 25th. Now this asteroid will be drawn in by Earth's gravitational pull, and it's going to be a mini second moon for us for about two months. Now it's going to orbit around Earth in a horseshoe shape.

Before leaving Earth's gravitational pool and returning to the site. Oh, look at that. Earth, uh, attracting another moon with its gravitational pull. How about that? Will our original moon get jealous and use this opportunity to become a better moon? We'll have to see, but there's your astrological update of the day.

Lots of news to get into here. And we continue to share it all. As mentioned before, new dad, Adam Devine reveals he gained 25 pounds during wife Chloe Bridge's pregnancy. He says, I was just a fat pig. Uh, her mental bounce back was super fast for her and her physical bounce back was so annoying. The actor whose son Bo was born in February told us she was pregnant.

And meanwhile, I was just eating everything with her and gained 25 pounds. I was just a little garbage can of a person, just a garbage disposal. I was so gross. Well, hopefully he wasn't a broken garbage disposal. How often do we talk about garbage disposals on a podcast? All the con half the content today is garbage disposal.

Listen, I can. I empathize with Adam Devine here, of course, from Pitch Perfect and all those other great movies. Uh, yeah, my wife, and I know everyone's different, you know, she's, she's a power breast feeder is what I'm calling her, a power breast feeder, PBF. And uh, she's, yeah, are the weights melting off? I mean, it's like every day she runs a marathon, you know, I mean, she's, I mean, guys, you know, I know, I know we've got a big female audience here and you might be privy to this, but, you know, I've never so intricately studied, um, Yeah, how the milk comes out of the nipple.

I assumed it was like a garden hose, like a one spout thing, but it's actually more porous, there's multiple sort of halls. It's, it's more like a, like a shower system. And, uh, sometimes my, my son, he's at the age now where he'll. Kind of eat a little bit, then lose focus, but the, the, the letdown, the, uh, the breast milk doesn't know how to shut itself off.

So it'll just start, uh, you know, spraying on his eyeball and, you know, I've, I've talked already a lot about breast milk. It's just amazing. You know, you get a little rash, rub a little breast milk on it. Breast milk is the human version of Robitussin. Remember the Chris Rock? It break a leg, rub some robot testing on it.

Well, I guess you can do that with breast milk too. So if, you know, I mean, we had some breast milk sitting in the fridge, maybe it was in there for a day too long. What do we do? Throw it in the bathtub. Let's have a bath. I mean, it's just incredible. Uh, we, we, we don't, we, you know, I know we value the ladies out there, but I don't think we value them enough.

You're, you're a living, walking miracle of an organism. And I am here to say, I respect that. We'll be back with more content right after this. And not everybody listens to the morning rush and the afternoon, although most people do, but I'm here to tell you, we have so much content to get through that there's going to be a lot here.

I'm flying to New York City today. I'm still going to have all of the regularly scheduled programming. If you're in New York tonight and want to come see me perform, I'll be at the New York Comedy Club, uh, at 7pm in the Midtown location, because they have several locations. There's a link. To buy tickets in my Instagram, or you can just walk up and buy tickets, or you can just come say hi, you know, afterwards, I'll be there.

And I've got another show Thursday, um, in New York, uh, that's Uptown. And then on October 11th, I've got a show at Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, which is on Aquidneck Island, which is the other side of Newport. So if you want to come enjoy Columbus day weekend, October 11th, that might be, I think the best time to come to Rhode Island.

You can see some very funny comedians and, you know, do very, a very fun Newport stuff. All right. So let's get into this crazy story. Rob Schneider is receiving backlash for promoting an anti vax stance after it was announced that, um, uh, that, uh, Dikembe Mutombo passed away. Mind you, Dikembe Mutombo passed away from cancer.

Rob Schneider, Posted this rest in peace. I'm sure this is just in quotes, another coincidence, but I took a pass on the jab and I'm going to not let anyone I know and who will listen, get it either. So people in the comment section have gone nuts because to campaign, but tumble is a very lovable guy. And, you know, they showed a video from three years ago where he was promoting getting the vaccine, um, hashtag the son of Congo.

So I'm guessing he's from Congo. He's made his career as a NBA, great defensive player, but look, people die. And they die of different causes, and it's confirmation bias to think every time someone dies, it's because they got the vaccine. If half the country got the vaccine, then half the time anybody dies, you would assume, you could assume it's because of the vaccine.

So, you know, you just gotta, you, we just gotta do a better job of, of How we discuss sensitive things like that. So very, I think it's good for Rob Schneider. I used to love Rob Schneider, but like, he's made his whole identity culture war issues. And it's just like, you've lost me on that. All right. Sadly, Pete Rose passed away.

I could have sworn he was like 60. He was 83. Can you believe that Pete Rose is the all time hit leader. And he's also. banned from Major League Baseball for gambling on the sport, although he says he never gambled in a game that he played or coached. He only gambled in other games, which is kind of crazy now that gambling and DraftKings, it's all kind of becoming legalized.

Pete's agent, Ryan Feiterman of Feiterman Sports confirmed the news, adding the family is asking for privacy at the time. The cause of Pete's death is unclear, although Rob Schneider says it's probably because of the jab. No, I added that part. The Clark County, Nevada has Rose's body, and they will conduct an autopsy this week.

I mean, look, he's 83. Uh, Rose, uh, he took, okay, so his nickname was Charlie Hustle for his tenacious play, was one of the greatest baseball players to ever grace a diamond, earned 17 All Star Game nods, winning three Three World Series titles in the 1973 NLMV play. No player in the a hundred plus year history of major league baseball had more hits than Pete who accumulated an astounding 4, 256 hits over his 24 season career.

Yeah. In this world, if you can hit, if you can get to 3000 hits, you're probably going to be in the hall of fame. He had. 50 percent more than that. Unbelievable. Almost that Rose led major league baseball and games played 3, 562 at bats 15, 000 and plate appearances, 14, 000 in the field. Rose was very versatile playing first, second, third, and the outfield.

So, uh, RIP to a legend. And who knows, maybe even in the, though he's already passed away, maybe we can get them in the hall of fame. Who knows? We'll have to see. All right. I got a couple of quick stories. Sarah Highland is being sued by her former manager. Uh, and they say, you owe me modern family money. The ex manager wants a 10 percent cut.

She's cutting out her former manager from his cut of her modern family paychecks, according to a new lawsuit. The modern family star is being sued by Richard Konigsberg, who claims he served as her personal and professional manager for 15 years and helped her land her breakthrough role on the sitcom.

Yeah, that's what's crazy is like. If you're the manager that gets some, you know, that gets so in a role, I think you are entitled to that management fee for all the residuals and for everything else. I don't know if that's true. We'll have to see how it all plays out. Uh, in the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Richard says Sarah unceremoniously fired him in April.

And what he believes is an attempt to get out of paying him his 10 percent commission on a couple lucrative projects. He helped Sarah land. So anyway, we'll see. We'll see if that's true. Uh, you gotta be careful out there. I'm sure she's got a good lawyer as well. Uh, but who knows now in our final story of the day, Diddy assembles a legal dream team for a new bail attempt.

It's his third time trying to get bail and we'll have to see new court documents show the rep mogul's lawyer filed to appeal the most recent order denying him bond. We'll have to see if he can get out on this one. In the meantime, he's stuck with the likes of Sam bankman free talking about Bitcoin.

He's like, look, I'll put up a hundred trillion dollars. I just don't want to talk about Bitcoin anymore with Sam Bagman Fried. All right. Well, look, can you believe we made it all the way to the end? I mean, and look, I still have so much more content to get to, you know, I'll never do this to you, but I, if I wanted to, I could do a morning rush, a lunchtime rush and an afternoon rush.

I won't do that to you, but just so you know, I could, um, I'll be back this afternoon. So hang tight. We'll be back with more.
