With Mego and Turp in, some Celtics talk has to be included with the roll they're on thanks to Jaylen Brown. When the time comes for Jayson Tatum to make his return, will he be able to fit in to what Brown and the rest of the C's are doing? Then, in the New England Nightly News, a new bill is proposed to limit how much drivers can drive and travelers are stuck due to the Venezuelan conflict. And, all of the uncertainty from Stefon Diggs off the field plus the salary increase doesn't make him a slam dunk to return to the Patriots in 2026.

The new year barely started and the sports universe already said, “Buckle up.” We're kicking off 2026 with conspiracy boards lit, tempers flaring, and a couple of very familiar names landing themselves back in Biggest Pickle territory.Rewind (…Sort Of):We're dusting off the tinfoil hats because something about the Denny Hamlin situation has us raising eyebrows. After the tragic house fire on December 28th that left his father, Dennis Hamlin, with life‑threatening injuries, the timeline and the circumstances have fans whispering. And the big question we can't ignore: Who does Hamlin race for? Connect the dots however you want—we're just asking the questions.News Rundown:- DK Metcalf is out for the final two games after an altercation with a Lions fan who called him by his actual legal name. Apparently “Dekaylin” is now a slur in DK's world. Blue wig snatched, punch thrown, excuses made, and videos everywhere. If you hate your name that much… there are forms for that.  - Jose Alvarado (Pelicans) and Mark Williams (Suns) both earned suspensions after a December 27th on‑court dust‑up. Two games for Alvarado, one for Williams—holiday spirit clearly did not make it to the hardwood.  - Ole Miss freshman DB Dante Core was arrested on December 26th after being clocked at 110 mph in Alabama. The speeding wasn't the real problem—what police smelled and found in the car was. Marijuana, paraphernalia, and a $1000 bond later, we're left wondering if this is a detour or the end of his college career before it even starts.Biggest Pickle of the Week:We've got repeat offenders. Again.  This week's crown goes to Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore, two New England Patriots players who just can't seem to stay out of the pickle jar. You've heard their names here before, and somehow they've managed to outdo themselves.

The show dives into the new lawsuit against Will Smith filed by tour violinist Brian King Joseph alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination—claims Smith’s attorney firmly denies as “false, baseless, and reckless.” It also unpacks Cardi B’s now‑deleted posts defending Stefon Diggs after his former chef accused the NFL receiver of assault and felony strangulation; Diggs’ attorneys call the allegations unsubstantiated as he awaits arraignment later this month. The team shifts gears to pop‑culture love stories, noting Cher’s admission on Armchair Expert that she “manifested” both a “man and a toddler” before meeting Alexander “AE” Edwards and bonding with his young son. Closing with a wider lens, the show marks five years since the Capitol attack—highlighting how the anniversary is fueling fresh debate and new reports on the aftermath, including mass pardons and their public‑safety implications—while urging listeners to seek peace and perspective amid the noise.

Over the holiday break, Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore were charged in separate incidents and Mike Vrabel seemed quick to dismiss them saying they're not disappointing. With his motivation all season long, it felt out of character to try and sweep this under the rug.

Charges against Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore still linger and Mike Vrabel seemingly pushing it to the side raised some eyebrows. Why did Vrabel's answer and his messaging not line up to cause some worry? Then, friend of the show Tom King joins to give early thoughts on the Patriots facing the Chargers in the Wild Card round and who has the coaching advantage between Vrabel and Jim Harbaugh. And, Rhamondre Stevenson has totally turned his season around and should be praised more on how good he has been to end the regular season.

Morning Rush Hour Podcast – New Year's Eve Edition We're closing out the year with chaos. Candace Owens is exposed and publicly called out by one of her own colleagues at The Daily Wire, raising serious questions about credibility and internal fractures within conservative media. Donald Trump escalates his battle with Colorado over a controversial water initiative as states push back against federal pressure. We also cover a tragic death within the Kennedy family and break down why the Trump administration is preparing to sue a jazz musician in a case that has free speech advocates on edge. Plus, the wild and unfolding accusations surrounding Stefon Diggs, what's real, what's rumor, and how this situation could impact the New England Patriots' playoff hopes. All that and more as we wrap up the year on the Rush Hour Podcast. Let me know if you want it a little spicier or more neutral for platform safety.
