 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. Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Happy hump day to you. It is the 20th of November, Wednesday, 2024. And I've got all of your entertainment and pop culture news in one place.

A lot of ongoing stories. More Mike Tyson commentary. A podcast thinks that he threw the fight. I'm also going to share why he thinks so, and he's got a good point. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but pretty dodgy when you look at the tape. Plus, how much Jake Paul actually made. And speaking of money, Cher admits that Sonny Bono stole all of hers.

And also we've got a memorable speech at the world premiere of the movie Rust. Uh, and I've also got a pretty interesting story, uh, soundbite from Jen Tran, Bachelor at Jen Tran. She admits to sleeping, uh, not with, but on Dancing with the Stars, Sasha's couch. That's her partner, her dancing partner. There's been rumors.

Are they together? Are they not together? We'll share what she had to say. And also we've got Jelly Roll's amazing weight loss transformation. He lost over a hundred pounds. We're here. for it. I'll share those stories and so much more coming up next on the rush. I know it feels like we talk about this every other day, but Jen Tran answering the question about where she's living now that she's been voted off the, uh, the dancing with the stars and we'll return for the finale.

Do they put her up in a hotel? Is she living with her dance partner? Are they canoodling? So many questions, so many answers. Here's what she had to say. Can you clear up anything with you and Sasha? Cause everyone's like, are they, aren't they? What can you clarify for us? Uh, what? Why are you living at his house?

Uh, Oh God. I, I mean, we spend a lot of time together. So like we're such, like we know each other so well, you know? And like, it's, it's It's difficult to go from spending every second of every day with somebody to, like, not. So, like, we decided to just keep spending time together, but, you know, life is unpredictable and that's all I can say.

Are you living with him? Sleeping on his couch? I, I, um, may or may not be sleeping on his couch. So there it is. May or may not be sleeping on it. It might be sleeping on something else. Who knows? She's not telling us. And Hey, look, I love it. I think it's great. I mean, it can't hurt her to not reveal that truth.

That keeps people engaged and interested at some point, either she's going to be with him or not. Now, I mean, look, he's in his forties. She's mid twenties. So a little bit of an age difference there, but Hey, maybe she's an old soul. Who knows folks, uh, jelly roll gets candid about his battle with food as he reveals he's lost 110 pounds and.

The country star opened up to people in this week's issue about the strides he's made in his fitness journey. Yeah, this is what I love about him. He said he was committed to just going on a bunch of walks. And I think this is what's important for people to know. Just the power of walking. The power of getting out there, not just for your physical body, but for your mental.

Just getting out there and moving your limbs can help with depression, it can help with so many different issues. And uh, good on him for sharing his story. He says the battle with depression Food addiction, changing the way I've looked at food for the last 39 years. I've never had a healthy relationship with food.

So that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it's like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way. You know what, this is going to sound trivial, but. I, I talk about my food addiction issues a lot. And my biggest issue is trying to negotiate with sweets during the holidays.

You know, there's, I mean, I just went to Trader Joe's yesterday and there's so many good foods. We have cookies that we just left out. And I I've been known to like, Grab cookies right before going to bed. You know, I'll brush my teeth after, but I'll just throw things into my body that I don't even want because that's my reward system.

You know, the pandemic, I, I lived off of a loaded baked potatoes and pizzas, not even good pizzas. The amount of dopamine I would get from going to Walmart and buying a frozen pizza. And I'm not talking two slices. I can easily without question, finish a DiGiorno croissant, crust loaded, thick Chicago style, everything included extra pepperoni pizza without it.

I can do it without even blinking an eye. Now, what happens after that is I start to hate myself. Because, you know, I, then my glycemic index is all off and I'm bloated and dehydrate, I mean, all swelling, inflammation, everything happened. You know, you know, when you can't take your wedding ring off because you had too, too good of a, you know, uh, in a vacation, so it's not just the physical body, but it's how you feel emotionally and mentally.

And for me, uh, having low end inflammatory foods helps me out. And it just doesn't lead into any product sponsorship. I'm just letting people know the more I talk about my issues. And my relationship with food, the more DMS I get from people who also have similar issues. And I'm not here to offer any crash course diet or anything like that.

Just get to know the problem first so that you can try to find a solution. So right now I've been on the up and up just for the last three days. I I'll substitute rather than eating sweets. I'll eat. Pistachios. I mean, trust me, I know it's boring or I'll have, uh, you know, uh, an apple and you might say, well, there's fruit sugar in the apple shore, but it ain't as bad as a sleeve of Oreos, you know what I mean?

So little changes, moving the body and just committing to yourself and your growth, I think that's the way to go. The movie Rust, it just had its premiere. It was, of course, the movie, sadly, where cinematographer Helena Hutchins died due to a gunshot from filming. It was tragic. Of course, that gun fired by Alec Baldwin.

Uh, Rust director Joel Souza and Bianca Klein, the cinematographer who finished the film after Helena Hutchins death, addressed the audience at the premiere. Here's what they had to say. Thank you to all of you for coming. I think it's so amazing to see people supporting Halina and what we've finished, um, together, and I want to, um, I wanted to say so many things, but Rachel said most of them.

Um, I just, I think that the thing that's amazing to me about filmmaking, and particularly cinematography, is that when people make a film and they put it on the screen, they're being vulnerable and putting a piece of themselves on the screen. And so, when you watch this film today, that you'll be Experiencing the world through Halina's eyes.

How brave experiencing the world through Halina's eyes. So again, I'm very curious to see this film myself from the artistic standpoint of, you know, knowing that so many creative people worked on the project and, you know, From the standpoint of it being sadly such, I mean, you know, our generation, when you hear that movie rust, we're going to know what it entails.

It's not just a Western. It's got so much more depth to the story. Well, we shared about jelly rolls, weight loss, and I actually have a second weight loss story about Wayne night. Do you remember Wayne night from the movie Jurassic park? Maybe you know him from. Newman, Newman on Seinfeld. Well, here he mentions how weight loss actually negatively impacted his career.

And by the way, I hate that that's even a trope or if that, that that's actually true out there that, um, you know, if you're seen as a quote unquote character actor, God forbid you lose some weight and get healthy, it could hurt you, but here's what he had to say. So good. Why, thank you. I almost didn't recognize you.

Well, uh, that's not good. That's funny. How did you, how did you lose so much? Uh, it's over a period of many years. Everything that anyone could ever try. Uh, from, um, therapy, to drugs, to surgery, to radiation, to being taken by aliens. Right. Uh, every single one of them. And one of them worked. What's that? I don't know.

right? , you, are you doing it like the old fashioned way? Is that effective? What? What do you mean? Like, like not eating? Yes, that does work. that and going to the gym regularly. Oh no. I, I was, but then, uh, somebody like you caught me coming out of a place and Yeah. So I Oh, that embarrassed you. It shouldn't, I mean, if I'm working out, it's not embarrassing, but, but I had resting bitch face when I came , you know?

I wasn't like . That's funny. How much weight would you say you've lost from like max to now? 7, 000 pounds. Wow, not bad. I lose 10, I gain 50, I lose 100, I gain 12. Right, but you've lost quite a lot. Yeah, yeah. From like Jurassic Park to now, it's about 110 pounds. Wow, 110 pounds, same as Jelly Roll. Well, good for him.

Incredible. Uh, are you, is it, is it affecting the sort of like gigs you get? Yes, but you know, in a good way or bad way? Well, in a bad way, but it takes time. It takes time for people to accept you as you are. And they find out whether or not you can still do things without being fat. All right. You know, interesting.

So you're a little sad that that's the way that Hollywood works, but look, I appreciate honest conversations of, you know, you'll get, whenever you talk about weight loss, you'll have people that get, Very triggered because it's such a personal conversation and they'll say, Oh, you're not doing a rider. You can't be joking about that.

Everybody's different. Some people eat because they're happy. Some people eat because they're sad. Some people have no idea the harmful food they're putting into their body because they can't afford foods that aren't harmful. You know, so many different things going on. It's important. We continue to discuss them in a way that.

Doesn't provide shame, but provides education. So good on, good on a Wayne Knight right there in Jelly Roll for sharing their stories. All right. I got Jake Paul. We'll have what he has to say about how much money he made coming up next. Well, it's rumored that Mike Tyson made 20 million for the fight for his purse.

Uh, but what Jake Paul made, that's another question because he essentially produced the fight that was at a nearly sold out Cowboy stadium that was seen by more people than watched the Superbowl. Well, Logan Paul asked him how much money did he make? Is it true you made 90 million from this fight? Is it true that you made 120 million?

70 million from this fight. I made a lot of money, the most money I've made ever, but what are you going to buy with the money? Probably a ranch, a big piece of property. There it is. I mean, can you imagine? So he denies making 90, but it was hinted that it was more than that. So he was asked if it was 170, either way, incredible.

But at the same time, you know, he put butts into seats. It's he put butts into seats and he cashed out, uh, you know, that's pretty crazy. Now here is a podcast called the Bubba army discussing the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and why he thinks it's staged. Now this is audio only, so you're not going to see what he's describing, but he's providing frame by frame moments where Mike Tyson had a wide open shot at hitting and hurting Jake Paul.

Paul has set himself up to be another one of the 42 people that have been knocked out with that overhand right. He has his head out, his jab arm down, and he's wide open and Tyson goes to throw it and short arms it.

So what he's showing is a moment where Tyson takes back a what should have been a stretched out arm, and he had a wide open head to hit. Now, maybe he didn't go for the punch because he didn't want to expose himself to another jab by Jake Paul, or maybe he just lost his mojo. Who really knows? Um, Jake Paul even anticipates the hit.

I mean, that is Now, does he miss that bub at 58? No. No. No, if you miss it, you hit the guy, you just don't, you just don't have the power to knock him. But when you know that it's wide open, and that if you bring it full steam, it's over, that's not part of what you've agreed upon to get you paid. So you short arm it, it's so over the top and egregious that Jake Paul is prepared for it.

Would that have knocked him out? It may not have knocked him out, but it may have knocked him down. And at that point, you know, Tyson would have to have attacked him. So they show over and over this, this absolute wild moment. Now, early on in the fight, after rounds one and two, Mike Tyson won those rounds.

There was a moment where Mike Tyson and Jake Paul sort of clenched arms and something was said and it looked like what could have been said was, Hey, do you wanna get paid or not? Maybe just maybe, and I hate to be a conspiracy theorist. Maybe the sort of contingency on the paycheck is that you is that it was gonna be a throne fight and nobody knows that.

Other than Jake and Mike. So we won't know. Uh, but again, it could have also been that he's 58 years old. You're not seeing anyone on the professional level, uh, like, you know, sports center claim that the fight was thrown, but it is very, very interesting. All right. We have an update. Speaking of brawls, we have an update on the Brown and chicken fry.

If the Zach Bryant breakup, they broke up and then Brianna has kind of thrown him under the bus claiming he was emotionally abusing her this, that, and the other. Uh, he claims and, and, uh, Dave Portnoy, the creator of Barstool sports and podcast co host of Brianna's, uh, has been going to bat for Brianna.

Brianna attended the UFC, uh, event. And here's what, uh, here's, and the other thing important to know is that Zach offered Brianna 12 million NDA so that she wouldn't describe how bad their relationship was. She turned it down. Here's what Dave Portnoy had to say. Alright, I know I said I'm done talking about that, that small, little, pathetic man, Zach Bryan, I, you know, time move on, it sucks everything happened, but I, I gotta, just walk and talk, listen to this story, walk and talk with me here.

So, this past Saturday night, UFC New York, Brianna Chicken Fry goes to the event, her first UFC event, she's advertising, she's going, she's all over the place, everyone knows she's going. During the fights, this guy David Anamo wins a fight, gets in the middle of the ring and gives Zach Bryan a shout, he's like, you know, I'm so happy Zach Bryan, like this one's for him, can't wait to see his show in a couple weeks.

I want to come back here next month to watch, uh. What's it called? Zach, Zach Bryant, a concert. So I'll be there, I'll be here for that. It's about Peter Berg, a staple at our venue. Obviously, people are like, Oh, that's going to suck for Bri, like she's there. And they're getting a Zach Bryant shoutout. This guy, David Anamo, goes on a podcast.

It was so odd. The podcasters are like, What's up with Zach Bryant? You're a big Zach Bryant fan? The UFC guy, he's like, I don't even know who Zach Bryant is. His manager, his team reached out to my team, like begging for a shout out. You grabbed the mic bag from him and you and you said something about, I'm gonna be back here next month to come see Zach Bryan.

Zack Bryan . What's his, nobody was find that And, and, and how long have you been a Zack Bryant fan? Is that, was that real? My manager's house called me like, Hey, uh, Zach Bryant. Zach Bryan. Zach Bryant is here and he wants you to give up. Give him a shout out. To be honest, I don't. That was like a paid advertisement for him.

Yep, exactly. That's literally what it was. He doesn't even know who the fuck Zach Bryant is, but you know who he does know? Morgan fucking Wallen. Last night. All right, so anyway, interesting stuff there. Uh, the sort of contrived nature of these, like, Ego maniacal celebrities. So he wanted a shout out and free promotion.

And what a bizarre story, bizarre story, but there's your update. And speaking of updates, uh, the view had to update their audience, uh, as co host Sonny Hostin appeared unsettled in, was forced to read a legal memo on air after Blatz, after blasting Matt Gates. Have a listen. Sonny, you have a legal. No, I do have a legal note.

Thank you. Whoopee. Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, invented. And saying in a statement to ABC News that this false smear following a three year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism. That DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.

We'll be right back. So, of course, look, I mean, when you, when you talk trash, Whether it's true or not, you still have to cover your ass like legally. So I wish I had a legal department that would tell me when I need to make an extra memo, uh, before I'm getting sued, uh, that would be nice when it. All right.

Anyway, uh, here is a fun story on the today show of Bowen Yang, of course, SNL star Bowen Yang getting permission to be in the movie wicked. There are very strict rules at SNL. You can't be shooting movies while you're doing SNL. However. You had a fairy godmother who helped you. Yes. Tell me what happened there.

She's a full three years younger than me, but she's my mother. Um, it's Ariana. Ariana called up Lorne because Lorne was like, Lorne Michaels. Lorne Michaels. And he, and within reason was like, very reason was like, you can't miss shows. I'm so sorry. And I was like, I totally get it and I like mourned that loss but then Ari picked up the phone and she called him and then he said it might be okay and he kind of was like okay well you know because because they have such a beautiful relationship with each other and so I can't believe it happened there it is I mean isn't it great Saturday Night Live is such a springboard for bigger opportunities but this movie Wicked is going to be enormous and you know SNL cast members don't get paid that much money I'm not trying to say like Eight grand a week or whatever they get paid isn't a lot, like, sure, no, absolutely, but the amount of work they have to put in, and it's only for like 20 weeks out of the year, I'm just saying, to live in New York City, it's like, yeah, take whatever gig you can get, right?

Well, here's another way to make money, you could be on Jeopardy. Here is a Jeopardy contestant revealing a bre a heartbreaking diagnosis during Tuesday night's live game. Chris, first off, I have some good news for you. Our judges have determined that when a photo is overexposed, it's also undersaturated.

So you're getting 800 back, just like that. I understand you're facing a health challenge right now that you wanted to talk about. Yeah, I've been fighting stage four colon cancer since May. Under young adult diagnoses have increased a lot in recent years. Um, definitely encourage people not to, you know, ignore any kind of symptoms, definitely push to get tested, especially if you have any family history of it.

That's a great word to get out there. Thank you. You know, the first time I sort of reckoned with death was when a family friend died of colon cancer, a brutal disease stage four, of course, very serious. So I think it's really great that in a moment, uh, one of the only moments where he's going to have this large platform, he uses it.

To warn other people about getting, uh, getting looked at. If you feel like something's wrong, uh, that we'd love to see that. Uh, and we hope that he can fight that battle strongly and overcome it. Uh, more information on that when we have it, but we've got a couple other stories to get to. So let's do this, stick around and we'll be back with those right after this break.

There's been a story going viral about Cher. Cher and her late husband, late ex husband, Sonny Bono. Uh, a lot of tea coming out. Apparently he took all the money they made as a duo and didn't give her any. So of all the money that you guys made as a duo, he took it all. He took it all? He took it all? Took it all.

And I said, I was there with you. I said, just tell me one thing. And I just, I still to this day, if he came back, that's what I'd ask him. What was the moment you thought it would be right to take all my money? I can't believe he left me with a car and clothes. But did, did he ever have an answer, like, of why he did it?

Not really. I don't think he wanted to go there. You know, you, you probably saw this a lot more in the previous generation, financial control, and which is really terrible, but a good thing. She's overcome that. Now, as far as making money, we've got, uh, very interesting reel to share with you from the trading secrets podcast, Jason Tartick's podcast.

Uh, you, you ever watch those Tik TOKs where the guy, you know, Finds a celebrity on the street and then tours their apartment. Uh, this is that story. So I got that first one with Barbara Corcoran. She actually DM'd me and was like, Hey, come over to my apartment. This was like three months in. I realized like I was onto something.

That does a hundred million views. Hundred million views. Across all platforms. Yeah. Holy shit. So I was like, okay, I got an awesome case study here. Let's take all the information. Okay. She got about 200, 000 followers from doing this video. She had 200, 000. Yeah. Across her platform. She told me like I was walking down the street and everybody up in trader Joe's, everyone's like, I love your apartment.

I love your apartment. She's like, I've been on shark tank for 20 years and you only know me from my apartment now. Like this is insane. Yeah. As a good example of finding your niche. Here's a guy who decided. To, uh, tap into the voyeuristic aspect of social media and say, you know what? I bet people want to see what people's apartments look like.

You don't just get to see that stuff. It's kind of like MTV cribs, but more authentic and Barbara Corcoran, of course, right here explains how much she got out of that exposure by reaching out to this content creator. Again, just, just a thought for content creators that are out there. You just be shocked.

At what success you can find. If you just do something slightly different than other people, whether it's home apartment tours, or the guy who goes up to people in their nice cars and ask them what they do for a living, there is something intrusive about finding out about strangers lives. That seems to be the next step for content creation.

And we kind of do that on one end. Like some of my more popular videos are the ones where we kind of dive into Uh, the DMS of the celebrities we cover. Well, here's a sad story I want to share with you is it's, there's no way to put it, but it's a sad story. Representative Nancy Mace introduced a resolution that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol.

And this happened just weeks before democratic rep elect Sarah McBride of Delaware. is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress. Just a sad story. This is a biological man trying to force himself into women's spaces. And I'm not going to tolerate. A house Republican introduced a measure to ban transgender women from using the female bathroom in the Capitol.

This comes as democratic rep elect Sarah McBride of Delaware. Delaware is set to become the first out trans member of Congress. Sarah McBride doesn't get a say in this. If some guy in a skirt came by and said, no, that's my achievement. I'm going to be there and standing in the way and saying, hell no. A spokesperson for McBride told NBC news that Mace did not reach out before she introduced the measure, adding that she found out about it in the media.

Mace's office didn't respond to a request for comment. So my, my general thought is when we talk about culture or issues, we talk about issues that are not the biggest issues out there that are made kind of out of thin air. This idea of who gets to use what bathroom. I mean, look, when you're on a plane, you just go to the bathroom.

They're all unisex. I really think we need to move to a society that has mainly unisex bathrooms, not because I stand On one side or the other on this issue, but because it's so misguided and so trivial, you know, it used to be, they would say, Oh, we can't have trans people in the women's bathrooms because X, Y, and Z could happen, or there'll be minors there or whatever.

Now we're talking about. You know, taxpayers dollars being spent at, uh, at, at whatever it is, the rep, wherever the representatives, you know, are at saying, there's going to put, be a bill in the Capitol that they can't go into this one set of bathrooms. If, if, if it was up to me, I say, tear down all the bathrooms and set up porta potties.

Like if this is the world you want. Representative Nancy Mace, like this is the world you get and I hate to end on such a bummer of a story, but it really comes down to like, what world do we want to live in? Is representative Nancy Mace actually worried about a trans issue with bathrooms? Absolutely not.

It's about using a sensitive topic like transitioning. And using it for your own good. So you can campaign on that and raise money and say that you're on this side. And it's just, it's hogwash. We don't stand for it. I'm all about inclusivity. If someone, you know, feels like they've been living in the wrong body and they go through all the effort to get the surgeries or the hormones or whatever it is to change, uh, how they present themselves to the world, who the hell am I?

To stop them. You know what I mean? We're not, you know, this has nothing to do with the debate of sports or the debate of kids or puberty blockers. None of that. This is just a vile person who votes for these people. I have no idea. All right, well, that's going to do it for me. We'll be back as always in the morning.
