 It's pretty fun. 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 standup comedian, Dave Neal. Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday to you. November 8th, 2024 got all of your entertainment and pop culture news in one place. Can you believe we made it to the Friday after the election?

Does it not feel like it's been the longest week of the year? Well, it just got a little too long. Crazier, if you can believe that monkeys are loose in the Carolinas, a research lab admits dozens of monkeys have broken out of their cages. And to be quite honest, I'm rooting for the monkeys. I'll have that full story.

Plus three people charged in the death probe for one direction star at Liam Payne, including a hotel employee where he was staying. And also a story came out that liberal women are going on a sex strike over a Trump win and a scientist weighs in on whether cutting. Fluoride out of tap water is a good idea.

That being because RFK Jr has said, that's what he plans to do along with some other updates to the FDA. So he's going to wipe it clean. So we'll have that story. People want to know in a bombshell. Tell all by Brianna La Paglia, AKA Brianna chicken fry. As she turns down a 12 million NDA to discuss her messy breakup from country singer, Zach Brian.

It's juicy as heck. I'm going to share a few clips of what she had to say on her barstool podcast. Very fascinating stuff. We are not going into the weekend with any subtleties whatsoever. Bombshell stories all coming up next on the rush. All right, let's open on this monkey story. If you live in South Carolina, you might be on the lookout for several monkeys.

A search is underway for more than 40 of them. They escaped a research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina, Wednesday evening. I love how we're just finding out about this now. Where have they been? They've had a two day head start. Here's the story on NewsNation. So last night we were by representatives from Alpha Genesis that they had an escape of approximately 43 monkeys.

And at this point, none have been captured. And that was the town administrator. He says a new employee left a few gates open, allowing the monkeys to escape. And look, my thought is this, maybe It wasn't, you know, maybe it wasn't an accident. Maybe this was the work of PETA. And again, I don't blame them. You know, these monkeys don't belong in cages.

Uh, we want to, uh, ensure that the community is aware that there is no public health threats associated with these animals. Oh, sure. Let's just go ahead and believe the people that were caging up monkeys for science experiments. Like the work they do there. These animals are not infected with anything.

They're healthy. They're skittish in nature. We were informed that they're all female, so they'll typically congregate in a large group. Oh, no, they're all female. So they've been gossiping throughout the forest monkeys not try to trap the monkey as a pet. We've seen posts on facebook already. People want to try to Take a monkey's pet.

Do not do that. That's a federal crime. They say it's a federal crime. Look, they call it a federal crime. I say it's finders keepers, losers weepers. Now, to be quite honest, I did spend some time monkeying around in Bali. And I have to tell you, monkeys should not be messed with. They'll rip your face off.

They'll rip your Dick off. They really will. They don't care. They're, they're, they're cray. They'll gouge your eyes out. Uh, you know, they, I mean, Hey, you know, they can also be cute looking, but Hey, they'll do what they got to do. And by the way, I'm sure they're not fans of humans. They've been locked up their whole lives.

So I say let them roam free and let the Carolinas, uh, have their own population of female monkeys running around. Uh, here's another update on the story from ABC news. And the search is on for 40 monkeys that escaped from a South Carolina research center. Officials say the private company breeds monkeys for medical testing and research, so Yemesee residents fear the animals could be carrying diseases.

Nineteen monkeys escaped from the same center in 2016, but were all returned to the facility within six hours. Police at that time blamed broken or loose cages. Now officers are asking residents not to interact with the primates and call 911 if you see any. No word yet on how the monkeys got out this time.

All right. Well, you're, you heard it here first from my podcast. If you see some of these monkeys, don't call nine one one. I'm telling you, let them live. You know what I mean? The world's crazy enough out there. We're overturning laws that have been around historically for decades. Let the monkeys live, let a few primates exist.

And by the way, there's no male monkeys, just a bunch of female monkeys. So let them hang out. They'll do their thing and we'll just go on with our life, right? Who cares? All right. From a crazy stories about monkeys. Humans, the real crazy primates. We've got Zach Brian, of course, his breakup with Brianna LaPaglia.

I've got several different clips I'm going to play from, uh, the podcast. It was a big tell all, you know, came about a week or two after the breakup. She probably wanted to wait till she had her wits about her before she could talk about it. Well, now she's spilling it all. Um, she's claiming emotional abuse says he, uh, she said she's still scared of him.

And it's, it's called the BFF. podcast. Brianna LaPaglia dove into some of the emotional abuse she endured while dating singer Zach Bryan. Uh, she offered a huge admission that she was offered 12 million by his team to sign an NDA, which she clearly rejected. I got to say 12 million is a lot of money to reject.

So, um, you know, maybe boy, and by the way, how bad was it? You ever have a breakup so bad, you have to pay the other person 12 million bucks, just not to talk at brunch. Brianna. talked about the infamous Raya profile screenshot that went viral on social media. I guess she received a bunch of DMs from people saying that he was on Raya.

He merely responded that he reactivated the app when confronted, which is why she claims he posted about the breakup, because he got caught. Alright, well, here's a couple clips of what she had to say about the breakup, the relationship, and how messy it was. episode of Me Not Taking the money, like it's not just for me, it's for anyone else that's been emotionally abused.

It's for people right now that are being emotionally abused. It's for people that don't have a support system that I was luckily enough to have going through this. And like the last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life, like dealing with the abuse from this dude. Like I'm still scared right now.

Cause I'm like scared of him. Still. My brain's rewired. Like I'm scared to make him mad. And last week, I didn't want to talk about it because I was scared. So I was like, yeah, we can just talk about this stuff. That's public. And I still said your money, but you made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you sign their, their experiences away, sign what they went through away.

You get to go skip off and sing your little songs on stage. Like you're a good, good dude. I don't want in two years to buy a house and think. This is the money from the dude that literally destroyed me and broke me for a year that you, I don't want your money. And I I'm, this isn't me getting on the, this isn't like a drama thing for me.

This isn't me not signing the NDA or not taking the money because I want to get on here and expose who he is and his secrets and all that shit. I didn't take the money because I'm not signing away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me. And. I'm a lot stronger than a weak man, and I'm not you for your money.

Well, I just deleted about 17 F bombs from that rant, but good for her. She's like, I don't need the money. I don't want to buy a house with it, and I'm not going to be silenced. So that's, you know what? I actually have a lot of respect for her right now. And it helps that she, of course, is employed by Dave Portnoy, who's worth well into the hundred million dollar range.

So she's, uh, Got a guy that's supporting her and making sure she's, I guess, taking care of here. And, you know, boy, just pretty wild, wild stuff. I had one more clip I wanted to play from this. I mean, you know, it's kind of a bombshell deal here. This being, he's a pretty big deal in the country music scene.

And, um, she actually explained a story about how he got mad when she sang Morgan Wallen, have a listen. One morning. Like we were out the night before and one morning I like woke up or I was like scrolling TikTok and last night we let the liquor talk was stuck in my head and I walk up the stairs in the New York apartment and I'm singing like I'm about to like make breakfast or something like last night we let the liquor talk he freaked the fuck out like freaked the fuck out I he could not believe you're singing another man's song under my roof in this house that I own like all like it was a fight for I think a week.

I came up the stairs saying last night, we let the light. What, what is, is that anybody or was there, is there like specific beef or something with like Morgan Wallen song? No, I know that, but like, what's he care about? Like, there's a lot of songs. Like, is it specific to Morgan? I think he, I think he really doesn't like Morgan Wallen.

I think he really hates Morgan Wallen. I think he feels inferior to Morgan Wallen. I also, I was like, not really allowed to listen to Noah Cahan. I listened to him too much. I thought they were friends. I thought I was friends with Zach too. So Noah Cahan just ate shit. I mean, he, he, he just lied. Yeah. He just lied.

Why? Like he must be happy. He must be like, fuck. Finally. Somebody said, said the truth because that would drive me insane. Well, good for her for having her boss stick up for her. Pretty wild story. Anyway, shoutout to Last Night by Morgan Wallen. It was the last night, it was the last night that we break up.

I see you tear the lights in the dust. You call your mama, I call your bluff. In the middle of the night, pull her out. You know what's funny actually is, You know, that'd be like if my wife got, uh, you know, told me a funny joke, she heard from another male comedian. And then I got jealous. Now I kind of understand that.

I understand the idea behind that, but bro have like, you're, you're, you're kind of like a well known multi million dollar earning. Musician, just like you don't get mad when your girl sings another man's lyrics, you know, have some, uh, you know, pride in yourself there. Wow. So good on her for 12 million. It wasn't enough money for her to be silenced.

And I think, you know what? I think we need more people like her out there. Spread the truth, share your story and don't take nothing from anybody. All right. Well, let's take a quick break. I got a lot. We're just heating up folks. I got a lot of content coming your way right after this. Well, for this weekend, I don't have a driving with Dave episode.

I'm going to do a Q and a. So if anyone has any questions they want to ask me, go to my Instagram. I'll have an Instagram story up, which I will be, you know, soliciting questions that can be asked me about the election. Ask me about any dating questions. I don't care what questions you have or comments you want to make, uh, send them my way and I'll do a personalized episode with you guys.

Uh, or if you would prefer, leave me a voicemail, I have my voicemail line open 4 0 1 5 5 8 7 8 4 1. If you want to leave a voicemail, this goes directly to my Google voicemail line. You can ask me anything. You can comment, be fun, be serious. I don't care. 4 0 1 5 5 8 7 8. So give me a call and we'll be playing that on this weekend episode.

All right. So, you know, uh, before we get into some political stuff, uh, this is semi political liberal women going on sex strike over Trump, when disgruntled female voters draw inspiration from Korean for B movement to take revenge against men who voted Republican. Well, there it is now to be quite honest, I didn't read the rest of the article because it was behind a paywall, but I think I got enough.

Yeah. Look, if there's a lot of guys out there not getting laid, oh, it must be a, it must be because. The ladies are doing a sex drive. No, they're just not that into you. Hey, but Hey, you know, that's a good motivator. I don't think that's the biggest problem out there. Kamala lost in a relative landslide. She lost the popular vote.

There's plenty of people that didn't show up to vote. It's not just Republican men. Although of course, yeah, it would be a segment of it. Uh, but what's interesting. And I, and I've been covering this a lot. You know, a lot of people are looking at the democratic party and saying, boy, how could things have gone wrong?

Who didn't turn out to vote? Are there sexists? Are there racists? But the truth is the democratic party, the, you know, the DNC, the leaders, they're really the ones to blame here. They silenced. The primaries, which had Marianne Williamson and RFK Jr. And Dean Phillips, and even, uh, Cenk Uygur, uh, am I pronouncing his name?

Right. They had tons of people that wanted to get their voices out and share good thoughts and they silenced it. The media didn't cover once RFK Jr. He literally had to kind of go out on his own. So I'm not surprised that that's what happened. And now you've got RFK Jr. Who's been like a lifelong Democrat working closely with Trump again.

I'm not a huge fan of some of the things that are going on there, but I do find it interesting that this is the world we live in now and will, will they come after, you know, the powers that be when it comes to the, uh, FDA, will they come after the corporations that are putting terrible ingredients in our food?

I mean, it's yet to be seen, but, uh, the news they're, they're reporting on it. ABC news covered RFK and, um, you know, this specific topic about whether they're going to remove flora. R. K. Jr. also says he wants to stop recommending fluoride be added to drinking water. So small amounts of fluoride are found naturally in water.

In the U. S., more has been added to the public water supply since the 50s to help with dental health. But some recent studies have suggested fluoride in high amounts can negatively impact brain development. in children. I know major medical associations have said in recommended levels, the benefits outweigh the risks.

But this is another one. This is really tricky as a parent to decide what's right here. So how do you give guidance on this? What I gave guidance is first for parents to understand what fluoride is actually doing. So fluoride, the recommended amount in public water, according to the CDC and WHO is about seven milligrams per day.

per liter. That's a few drops of water in a 55 gallon vat. So it's not that much. It is naturally occurring as well. And Florida can actually strengthen the enamel, the surface of teeth, prevent and protect our teeth against acid bacterial growth, and it reduces the risk of tooth decay. So my thought is this.

That all might be true. Why the hell do we have it in the drinking water then? You know, can't you just get it in your toothpaste? Like, you know, how come we have to ingest it? And again, some people say, well, fluoride's a neurotoxin. I'm sure at some level it's dangerous. What is that level? They're not doing these studies.

These are the things we need to know out there. They also, and again, like just because, you know, I don't know. So I understand why a lot of people out there don't have too much faith in the. System because we, we all collectively feel as if corporations have bought and paid the people that make the policies.

I mean, did you know there's any, I hate to say, share, share information that I don't know is entirely true, but there are countries where they've got products that we have here and there's banned ingredients from other countries that we keep in our products here. And it's like, are we above? Poisoning our own people to make a profit?

I don't think so. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to take up a major role in the new Trump administration involving health issues. RFK Jr. says he may gut the nutrition departments at the FDA. He also says many ingredients in America's food are illegal in Europe. Now he's taking aim at Froot Loops using cereal as an example.

Oh, they're coming for your Froot Loops. What about the goose? What about the geese? They're migrants. They stole your Froot Loops. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it's got two or three? ABC's medical contributor, Dr. Loke Patel joins me now for more on this.

Dr. Patel, walk me through this and what we just heard, because you say Froot Loops in the U. S. and Canada actually have roughly the same number of ingredients, but a big difference when you look at the dyes. So can you expand on that? Absolutely Diane. If you look at a box of Fruit Loops in both the Canada and the United States, they have roughly the same amount of ingredients from ingredients such as sugar and different types of flour.

The big difference is that in Canada, they're using natural dyes. Dyes that are made from products such as carrot, blueberry, and watermelon juice to give fruit loops that color. In the United States, they're using artificial dyes such as red 40, blue 1, yellow 5, and 6. And some of these dyes in preliminary studies have been linked to certain adverse reactions in children, such as children with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, more hyperactivity.

noting that there is some research happening in these dyes, but most importantly, parents should feel empowered to look at any products they're giving their children Look at the back and read the ingredients and make a decision about what they want to feed their family. All right. So I have thoughts here, right?

Sure. You should be making these decisions as a parent, but also we should have a You know a system that's set up to protect from corporations that will Be greedy and we'll give us the, whatever is the lowest costing they can give us. I mean, remember Coca Cola, they switched to corn syrup instead of sugar because there were corn subsidies.

It was just simpler to get simpler to get sugar out of Coke. But if you bought the Mexican Coke, that was real sugar. And then it was so different. But now if you buy the Mexican Coke in the U S it now comes with corn syrup too. You know, you just can't win when it comes to corporate greed that exists out there.

So no, I do not trust corporations. You know, I got a kid who's about to start eating food and I grew up on processed food and crap like that because my mom probably didn't know the difference. Single mom, I was fed a diet of frozen fish sticks. Half the time, I'd put them in the toaster, they'd still be frozen in the middle when I ate them.

Who the hell's know what, I would have been an astronaut, instead I'm just a lousy podcaster. I got, I grew up on fluoride and Fruit Loops, baby, come on, we need to do better than this. So, I think at the very least, if, uh, RFK Jr. will Take an earnest look at what's bought and paid for, you know, it'll be, it'll be good at least to be able to audit, um, those that are in control of the systems that are there to protect us at the very least, again, there might be a lot of other issues going on.

I'm not here, you know, we, the, the votes happened, the president's going to be coming in. And it's a change of guards at the very least, because look, I mean, you've seen these like Sackler documentaries, right? The opioid crisis and how there's literally like the link between executives for like Sackler, these big pharmaceutical companies, they were getting high profile jobs right out of being in the FDA.

Right. So it's like, how corrupt can this system get? And it's all about money. And it's robbing us of our health and it's robbing us of our sanity, really. And I'm not saying it's one political side versus the other. At this point, the trust is gone. And I don't know which side is, um, you know, is more at fault than the other.

I truly don't know how far back you have to go to figure that out. Well, look, Adam McKay, famed director says it's time to abandon the democratic party as Trump declares victory. Now, I don't agree with him, but I still think this is very interesting. He said, I thought liberals whole thing is being smart.

So he posted this on Twitter, kind of like a diatribe here, explaining his rationale. He said, who would have guessed lying about Biden's cognitive health for two years, refusing to do an open convention for a new nominee, never mentioning public health care and embracing fracking the Cheney's in a year long slaughter of children in Gaza.

Wouldn't be a winning strategy. Um, anyone with half a brain. But I thought liberals whole thing is being smart. It's not. So anyway, I mean, Hey, this is the time for dialogue. This is a time for people to audit what went down in the last few years and say, you know what, what we need now more than anything is a robust discussion of what went wrong, why it went wrong and not just say, Oh, the other side is racist.

Oh, the, no one wanted to vote for a woman. It's like, Okay. We can't just keep saying that we have to come up with a plan to put the best people in place with the best ideas in place. And if we're just going to continue to blame other people for not getting a strong turnout in the election, then, you know, you're going to keep on getting the same problems.

We'll be back with more content right after this. Three people have been charged in a death probe, including the hotel employee in Liam Payne's death from One Direction. It's a big break in the death investigation. Buenos Aires, our authorities have charged three people they believe were involved. Law enforcement sources tell us that three people were charged Thursday, and at least one of the suspect worked at the Casa Ser Palermo hotel where he died.

One suspect is described as a friend who was in Liam's hotel room with him, but left him there at some point before he died. That suspect has been charged with abandonment of a property. a person before death. The second suspect, a hotel housekeeper who police believe likely delivered drugs to Liam in a soap box.

As reported, cops had been eyeing the dove soap box found in the room because only housekeeping staffers have access to that soap supply within the hotel. In the third suspect in the alleged drug supplier who prosecutors say delivered narcotics to Liam twice on October 14th, two days before his death, the alleged dealer and the hotel staffer are both facing.

Charges for dealing pretty scary. Sad story there. So, yep. I mean, Hey, you got it. You just got to, um, you know, figure out what the heck went wrong, but, uh, it's like straight out of a movie to think that there's some drug dealing housekeeper that works in these hotels. Who knows? Well, CBS morning shared a, uh, interesting story.

Good, good way to end the Friday morning here. Cause we've had a lot of heavy stuff. Uh, it is a cloned ferret who just gave birth. Listen to this. Cloned black footed ferret. You're like, why is he talking about that? Just stick with me for a second. It's given, it's given hope to all endangered species.

Here's why. Antonia is the first cloned ferret ever to give birth. She had two babies known as kits at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute earlier this summer. Now, this is the first time a cloned endangered species in the U. S. has hatched. Had offspring. So this is awesome because it got me thinking does this remind you of anything?

How about what jurassic park ate your minds away? That's right So this is where scientists clone dinosaurs. You might remember how it all went down didn't really work out for the movies But you know what i'm saying? So this is a breakthrough for antonio. So do you think that? This could be a breakthrough for other endangered species because there's a lot on the list that have been around for hundreds of millions of years.

Well, don't we like to end on a great story like that, but, but, but wait, there's more. I got one last minute story I wanted to fly into. It's Paris Hilton sending love to the ADHD community. Have a listen. Hey, it's Paris Hilton, and I just wanted to take a moment to send all my love and support. I know that ADHD can sometimes be hard.

It's exhausting and frustrating. But it also makes life colorful and exciting. Some of the most creative and iconic people in the world have ADHD, and they've used it to absolutely slay. So to anyone who's out there struggling with ADHD, know this. You are not alone, and you are not broken. You have a unique way of seeing the world, And that's something to be celebrated.

How about that from Paris Hilton? She says, slay out there, my ADHD Queens. I hope you guys have a fantastic morning. I will be back this afternoon. Don't forget to call the voicemail line.
