 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. We made it to the Friday afternoon episode of the Rush Hour podcast, October 18th, 2024. And on Today's Afternoon Rush, we've got a sportscaster in Boston issuing an apology for using a racial slur, as he puts it, accidentally.

Plus, Lieutenant Dan was arrested in Tampa. I'll have that story. And Jimmy Kimmel reveals that Golden Bachelorette Joan was an extra in the movie St. Elmo Fire. And while the story of Patrick Mahomes father getting a DUI the night before the Super Bowl is old news, the cop's body cam footage has come out.

We'll share it. Very interesting stuff. Plus, I'll share a couple of clips from the Al Smith charity dinner, which, of course, is a dinner where politicians roast each other. So I'll have all of those stories, and we can end this week on a laugh, hopefully. All those stories and more coming up next on The Rush.

Well, we've been covering Lieutenant Dan here, who's taken over TikTok since Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, uh, he rode out the storm. Well, now he's arrested in Florida over a boat issue. They said, move it or lose it, buddy. The viral sailor who braved Hurricane Milton on his tiny boat in Tampa is behind bars.

It appears it's all because of an issue with where he was keeping his vessel. Joseph Malinowski, better known as Lieutenant Dan on TikTok, was arrested first thing Friday morning in Tampa and hauled off to jail. Cops tell us Dan is charged with two outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court and one misdemeanor charge of trespassing in a city park after warning.

Okay, first of all, those seem like kind of lame things to get him on. Tampa police say officers met with Lieutenant Dan at Bayshore Linear Park in Dock Thursday and police say Dan told them he did not have an accessible marine sanitation device aboard his boat and didn't have a record of proper disposal of waste.

Oh, they're getting them for not having a working toilet. I gotta tell you, look, I, I know this guy is seemingly a bad guy now. Everyone loved him at first and then they said he's a bad guy. Listen, he went from being unhoused, he was probably pooping in the streets, now he's got a boat. I mean, the guy's trying his best.

Other than, of course, some of the drama going on in the livestream world, is he harming anybody? No, no. Your answer might be, yeah, he tried to light a woman on fire. Listen, I'm not saying he's a good guy. I'm not defending him. I'm just saying, boy, when the attention's on you, they'll get you for anything.

Cops say the alleged conditions on Dan's boat created a public health hazard, and he was instructed to move his boat out of Bayshore Linear Park. Officers say he was still there Friday morning, despite numerous warnings. So he was arrested and hauled off to jail. Uh, Lieutenant Dan's rep. Oh, he's got his own lawyer now.

Brandon Gilchrist tells TMZ his team is working to bail him out. Lieutenant Dan's viral fame is actually noted on his booking info. His occupation is listed as. Tick tock star. All right. Listen, I don't think there's a real winner in this story. Just ugly stuff. And from one cop story to another Jay Cutler busted for DUI and gun possession after a 5 PM car accident.

Well, it's five o'clock somewhere. Just don't be behind the wheels when it hits. Uh, they've obtained the arrest report in which cops claim they responded to a call at 5 p. m. Thursday about a white Ram that had allegedly rear ended a car and had attempted to pay off the other driver with two grand so they wouldn't call the police.

When they arrived, they say they found Jay Cutler staggering around, slurring his speech and smelling of alcohol. Oh boy, I mean, well, it looks like he just didn't pay off enough. I mean, at some point, listen, if someone rear ends me And, uh, they want to pay me 10, 20 grand. Now, I guess depending on the value of your car, you know, you might just want to get insurance involved when they arrived.

They say they found Jay Cutler staggering, slurring a speech and smelling of alcohol. Officers say Cutler claimed he hadn't had anything to drink. Before amending his statement and saying he had a little. Cops say he turned down the field sobriety test. At that point, the officers arrested him. Well, first of all, you're supposed to turn down the field sobriety test, you know?

Uh, you're just, you're not supposed to, because apparently, inherently, it's like quack science and it can be used against you even if you are sober. But with that said, it sounds like he was loaded. He had a loaded Glock handgun in his center console, and he's got a court date set for January of 2025. All right, yeah, you can't get in car accidents.

And, uh, try to pay people off and be drunk. You can't do that. And speaking of things you can't do, Brooke Muller, Miller, says she's being extorted by her former drug dealer. She's turning to the L. A. County Sheriff's Department for help. Yeah, that's gotta be tough, right? That's gotta be tough when you have some issues with your drug dealer because like, what are you supposed to do?

I honestly don't know. What do you do in that scenario? Okay, any lawyers? Can you help me? Uh, law enforcement sources tell TMZ Charlie Sheen's ex wife says she's being blackmailed by a former drug dealer who claims to have videos of her buying drugs and other compromising actions. We're told the dealer told Brooke he'd go to the media or make the videos public to ruin her if she did not pay him off.

Law enforcement sources say Brooke had already tried to keep him quiet with gifts and money, totaling tens of thousands of dollars. A source close to Brooke says she has never given him a dime. We're told this went on for months until Brooke finally decided it was time to call the authorities. Yeah, you know, I don't know.

See, this is why you need to legalize drugs. I'm sorry. I, I really believe that drugs need to be legal because I don't, I just think there's more harm than, and then good that can come from the seedy underworld of drugs. You know what I mean? I'm just saying now there should be rules and regulations around them.

I just think, I think other countries have shown that if you legalize them, people can actually get the help and not resort to cheaper drugs, you know, whatever, whatever, you know, I'm not, I'm not a big pro drug guy. I'm just, uh, I'm just an anti, you know, the prison system, uh, being, you know, effective. Well, Corey Feldman has responded to the Diddy issues that are existing out there, because there is a lot happening in the world of Diddy getting arrested.

Corey Feldman, of course, Has spoken out for years about predators in Hollywood and literally no one believed him and now we're seeing that he's actually just a gigantic victim. He's been a victim for a very long time and he needs his justice. Do you have any comments on the pediatric situation? Have you been to his parties before?

To his parties? No, I never went to his parties. No? No, man. You never got invited to go to his parties? I think I was a little old. No, you're not old, man. You look young. No, I think I was a little old to be invited is my point. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I've never been to any of his parties. I've never met the guy.

I don't know any of those people. But, it's disgusting and I'm so grateful that justice is being served. And I really hope that there's a continuation of this. And all of these scumbags get taken down because children need to be protected. So there, he said children need to be protected. In truer words, I've never been spoken.

So, again, whatever comes of the Diddy case, we'll be here to report it. Well, a radio host, uh, I guess said a slur on air. And now he has apologized for that slur. I actually listen to Boston Sports Talk Radio, but I don't listen to this specific channel. I listen to a different one. And I know another channel that I listen to, Boston Sports Talk Radio, A few years ago, said a slur or made fun of an Asian guy's accent.

Uh, and now we've got radio host, Tony Maserati apologizing for muttering an Asian slur, here's what he had to say in response. I did want to address this because during yesterday's show, while we were discussing baseball's gold glove awards, the voting and the data that went into it, uh, I made reference to Tyler Milliken and people his age and their reliance on some of the metrics and how I didn't believe in them.

Um, and in so doing, I used a derogatory term that. Was unbeknownst to me. I didn't know that this term had a derogatory connotation, but I used it in reference to Milliken and his Gen Z brethren, for lack of a better term. I have since come to the realization that historically, there is some, you know, some derogatory context for that term, which I assure you, I did not know.

Nonetheless, in so doing. If you are among those who I offended, I apologize for that. It was not my intent, I can assure you of that. I had no idea that the word had that meaning. Uh, as such, I won't use it again. You'll never hear me use it again, on the air or off. And, I don't know what else to say. I mean, you know, uh, On one level, we've all got like a dad who says something he doesn't know is bad and, you know, it's, it's like you can empathize to that degree, but it's also so reckless to be someone who just randomly will call someone something.

So he said the Z word. Um, head, you guys understand this word, right? And if you don't know, I mean, I had to look it up cause I, I kind of knew what it meant, but I also had to look it up. It's um, it's terrible. It's a term that was used from the Korean and then popularized in the Vietnamese war, uh, that describes enemies who were shot in the head with high powered rifles and they experienced injuries resulting in their heads splitting as if having been unzipped.

I mean, it's, if, if that's just, it's, it's disgusting. It's, it's horrifying and um, you know, at least, you know, good on him or I shouldn't even say good on him, but at least it's good that people are getting educated on terms they should know have very painful past. And this just isn't in anyone's drunk uncle saying it was, you know, live on a radio show that goes out to a huge market, weird stuff.

And um, look, I don't think someone should get fired necessarily over that if they don't have any malicious intent. And I like the idea of people educating themselves. Moving forward and being better. I think that's, I think that's the proper way for progress. If you ask me versus someone who might just be continuously reckless and, and that that's a different scenario.

But anyway, uh, we got a couple other stories to get to. I've got, um, what Trump said and what Jim Gaffigan said. I've got, uh, Jim Gaffigan hosted the dinner that was all about roasting each other. So I'll have those stories for you. Plus a couple others coming your way next. Quick update on the Liam Payne death, uh, the member, former member of One Direction.

He was dropped by his record label, Universal Music, just days before his death, says the report. Liam's advance was massive and he didn't recoup it, the insider claimed. Out of all of the One Direction boys, Liam was on the wrong path musically. Uh, which is so sad because I'm sure he had a, I'm sure he was still worth a ton of money.

It just goes to show it's never enough when you have a mental health issue or drug or substance abuse issue like the fame, the fortune. It's never enough, uh, you know, and, and what we, what we do. To try to, um, Outwardly solve problems that we need to fix inward just repeatedly goes to show it's not enough.

Uh, the strip that Downsinger signed with Capitol Records owned by Universal Music in 2016 after One Direction announced its infinite hiatus. The Daily Mail reported Payne's publicity team resigned earlier in October. So clearly, you know, this is what these record labels do. They give you a whole bunch of money.

And then they invest in you, becoming this machine, and when it doesn't pay off, you know, they get to write it off as a loss. His legacy will live on, they said, through his music and the countless fans he inspired and who adorned him. We send our deepest condolences to Liam's family and loved ones. All right.

And by the way, TMZ has been roundly criticized for the way they handled the article. They actually shared, uh, An image of his body and then quietly deleted it when they received a lot of backlash. And, uh, a lot of people are saying, you know, that was really, really messed up. Uh, well, I mean, what can you do?

Uh, you know, TMZ is doing TMZ things. If you don't like it, don't, don't watch them. They're there. I mean, look, sure. Yeah. They're there. It's smart. Uh, so here's, uh, the golden bachelorette. He re, uh, revealed. She would swap any of the bachelors for Rob Lowe. She worked as an extra in St. Elmo fire. Here she is on Jimmy Kimmel.

You were in the movie St. Elmo's fire. I was an extra. You were an extra on some. Well, but you were in the movie. We have the evidence right here. My God, that's so funny. That's you on the bicycle. Did you get to meet Rob Lowe on the set of St. Elmo's fire? I did get to meet him. And since then I've had like this.

Like huge celebrity crush. Would you trade in, would you trade in whoever you selected on the Golden Bachelor for Rob Lowe? Like in one second. Wow, there it is, there it is. I mean, Gary Turner, you can't compete with Rob Lowe. What are you doing out there? So she was an extra on St. Elmo for Rob Lowe. Fire.

How fun. I dare tell you guys, I have never seen St. Elmo fire, but the old, the Gen Xers are going to get mad at me. How dare you not know what that is? Well, I'll tell you what I do know. I know Min Mobile is a good deal. They're today's sponsor with big wireless providers.

See Mint Mobile for details. Oh boy. We are cruising today. Cruising for a bruising. Oh boy. Speaking of cruising for a bruising, we have Patrick Mahomes senior.

His, uh, he dropped his son's name during his DWI stop. He tried to use his son's name to get out of his DWI earlier this year. Police video was finally obtained by TMZ sports. Have a listen. Mr. Mooney. Yes, sir. Can I say one thing? You may. My son is getting ready to play in the f ing Superbowl. Okay. No, just listen to me.

I am not drunk. I promise you. Okay, so I mean so far he's not really sounding drunk You know and you have to empathize knowing this is gonna become a national story, but at the same time safety safety, right? I've had some drinks. Oh boy, but he can't have this right now. Okay, this can't, listen, this son?

Patrick Mahomes. Okay. And, and, and he can't have that right now. I mean, I don't care what, I mean, I could have somebody come get me and take me home, but this right now is not the right time for that. I promise you, I, listen, I don't, I don't say a lot of stuff about nothing. I've had a couple of drinks. Yes, I have, but I am not drunk.

Okay. Okay. I mean, I would probably blow over the legal limit, but. Dude, seriously. Well, I mean, the legal limit is set so that you don't go over it. You know what I mean? Now, there are different scales of how drunk you are. And, hey, I appreciate his honesty. It almost feels like the police officer might not have known who Patrick Mahomes was.

He should have clarified and said, you know, he's gonna be in, you know, he's the starting quarterback. I'll get you tickets! Nah, I know you can't bribe a police officer. Uh, but anyway, he doesn't sound smashed. He's smashed. But he admits he was over the limit. Why do we live in a world where cars don't all have a breathalyzer test?

So we can just figure it out. You're almost left to guess if you're drunk or not. Now I understand if you're not sure, don't drive. I understand that. But at the same time, wouldn't it, you know, we buy these vehicles, they're, they're 20, 30, 50, 000. Can't we put a 20 breathalyzer into the dashboard? I mean, we don't have stars.

From around here. He's from White House. I'm, I'm very, very knowledgeable and capable. Dude, I can get somebody to come get me. I mean, we just can't have this. Give me just a few minutes. I'll come back and talk to you. Please. All right. So anyway, it didn't exactly go that way. And you have to understand the cops also on camera.

They can't extorted and all that too, right? I don't know. I mean, I feel bad. I feel bad for the guy. Because he doesn't seem smashed, but what the hell do I know, you know? Uh, all right. So we've got a couple clips of the al smith dinner. That is where uh, Presidential candidates go to roast each other. I've got trump roasting Uh, uh, well, um, somebody.

And then I've got Jim Gaffigan roasting Trump. So let's play the Trump one first. Here he is. I don't even know who he's roasting. I haven't played it yet. Have a listen. There's a group called White Dudes for Harris. Have you seen this? White Dudes for Harris. Anybody know it? Are some of you here? White Dudes for Harris.

Doesn't sound like it. But I'm not worried about them at all because Their wives and their wives lovers are all voting for me. Hey look, say what you want. I can take a joke. I can take a joke. I think, I've said this before, time and time again, I think one of Trump's biggest strong suits as a candidate is his humor and I think it cuts through a lot of people and is very endearing to them, to be quite honest.

Maybe not you, but that's, that's a lot of people it cuts through. Okay, I've also got a clip from Jim Gaffigan and boy, I mean look, I've done stand up shows with Jim Gaffigan, he certainly wouldn't know who I am. But he's a fantastic joke writer. I actually think his wife also writes his jokes for him, but here's a joke he wrote, uh, coming up next.

Alright, as promised, here's Jim Gaffigan, he hosted the Al Smith charity dinner, which I guess is a charity for Catholic organizations, so they do this to win over the Catholic vote. Uh, but either way, here's his takedown of Donald Trump. And by the way, he also made plenty of jokes about Kamala, we'll try to find one of those too, just so everyone feels like it's even Stevens.

You know, during the first and only debate, President Trump talked about migrants taking cats and eating them. You know, if you're keeping track at home, this is the second time grabbing a kitty has been part of a campaign issue. Awww. Alright, I mean, look, say what you want about the merits of the joke, but as far as the, uh, uh, you know, as far as the actual structure of the joke, it was, it was sound.

Alright, let's go to Jim Gaffigan making fun of Kamala, dare I get another one star review from some of you snowflakes out there, we gotta keep it all equal, everyone gets a piece of the candy bar. Yeah, this has been an interesting presidential campaign. The Democrats have been telling us Trump, Trump's re election is a threat to democracy.

In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris. In other words, all her dreams have come true. All right. I don't know. I thought that was. Okay. It wasn't as funny, you know, maybe it's because it's a talking point.

We've heard, you know, maybe it's kind of a slow hanging fruit. Uh, but either way, those are, those are your clips from the Al Smith dinner. So there it is now. Kamala didn't go, but she did do a video with Molly Shannon. I think she should have gone. I think, I think, you know, it's one of those things you kind of have to do if, uh, your political opponent's going to go, you have to go kind of like how they both need to agree to, uh, you know, do more debates, even though they're not that those are my thoughts.

Trump went on Fox, I don't know if this is Fox and Friends or one of the Fox shows, and spoke about defunding school programs. We're going to take the Department of Education, close it. I'm going to close it. We'll have one person, could be you if you decide to retire. Okay, Mr. President, here's what bothers me about that.

So let's say you have a liberal city, let's say it's Los Angeles, San Diego, and they just decide they, Oh, we're going to get rid of that history. We got new history. This is America built off the backs of slaves on stolen land and that curriculum comes in. Then we don't send them money. We would save half of our budget.

Okay. So I guess the idea is, and this is where it becomes, this is where being in control of certain budgets can become dangerous because then people can say, I won't send you money. Like if I don't believe in your state's policies, you won't get, I don't know, uh, relief if there's a wildfire or a hurricane, or if you teach up a history that I disagree with, we're not going to fund you.

I mean, it gets very dangerous dangling a carrot in front of states with federal money. Um, that's probably not the best way. Way to handle the budget if you ask me. Uh, but anyway, no one did ask me. I guess here's an interesting clip of us just, you know, pulling apart some of the hypocrisy of the hate that exists.

And again, I will say this, it does, it does exist in both ways. Like you'll find many people on the left saying, oh, Donald Trump's not funny. And I could just say, well, first of all, you might think of that as an opinion. But the fact is he's, he's got a, he's got his pulse on some oddities that exist and will say funny things, whether.

He, whether they come off well, because they're offensive is a different story. Uh, and likewise, there's a lot of hypocrisy with people that are fans of one side versus the other here is the good liars, tick tock channel, exposing that hypocrisy. What do you think about Taylor Swift? I can't stand her. I think she should just mind her own business and sing songs.

What do you think about Kid Rock? I like Kid Rock. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's a great, uh, American. Kid Rock has a song where he says fuck you to AOC and Nancy Pelosi. I wish more people would sing that song. But he's not minding his own business. Yeah, but they're assholes. There it is, folks. The other side's just a holes, you know what I mean?

Now, yesterday, Bret Baier actually had to Uh, issue an apology on Fox News. I'm not gonna play it, but essentially he tried to, in his interview, have a gotcha moment with Kamala Harris and he misrepresented the clip he was playing, that went viral, and then he was forced to apologize. So, it's a wild week.

Uh, we are It's so close, uh, two and a half weeks away from this election, and then we can have something else to talk about. But as promised, I'm giving you, I'm giving you 20 plus minutes each episode of nonpolitical content, but it's hard. It's hard because everything's in the political world right now.

It's all there. So we'll see. We're here to cover it. That's what we're doing. Um, yeah, I mean, it was a wild week. I want to thank everyone who came to my YouTube live stream today and shared a lot of positivity. I actually created a new merch shirt. Uh, you guys might remember I was called a heartless human being.

What was I called? Uh, I was called a horrible heartless human being. And because of that, we created, um, a, uh, a, uh, what's it called? No, uh, I already forgot the name of the merch that we created. We created merchandise called cold heart. Hot tea, uh, because we're, I guess, cold hearted. So that's what we are.

So if you want to go check that out, I'll have it on Instagram. You can, uh, you can, uh, you know, buy some merchandise if you need a new mug or something. Well, I got to go to an apple orchard to go. I found a fresh apple orchard in my neighborhood that is selling homemade, um, apple, or I should say apple cider donuts.

So I feel like it's my duty to go. Make sure that they're good. I don't want bad apple cider donuts being sold in my town. Not on my watch, folks. So keep pursuing that good life. And like every other Friday, we like to kick the doors down, walk out of there, double middle fingers and tell our boss to go F themself.

And today is no different. Have an excellent folks. And as my sixth grade teacher used to tell us on Fridays, I want to share it with you. Mr. Roach used to say, don't do anything I wouldn't do. And then some have a good one, folks. We'll see you on Monday.
