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 morning, everybody. It's Dave Neal here on this Monday, January 20th, 2025,

with all of your news for your rush hour ride to work.

On this episode of the rush hour podcast, we've got TikTok dying. That's right. And then it came

back to life. It's like the Jesus of social media. I'll explain this wild political game

being played with the favorite vertical video app and what it looks like moving forward.

Also, it looks like Allie was caught moving her stuff out from James Kennedy's pad in Vanderpump

Rules News. We'll get into that. And a wild weekend for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Now we've got a reporter who thinks Blake Lively may end up settling with Justin. That would be pretty

wild. Could that happen? I'm going to play for you guys that very interesting clip, so stick around for

that. And Rachel Kirkconnell is dealing with heartbreak, the chain of events that pissed off

Bachelor Nation. Also, Trump is our new president. Whether you voted for him or not, he's the new

president, and it's inauguration day. And now he's saying he's going to be declassifying the JFK files

now that he's back in office. It is a wild time to be alive, to say the least. So we'll also discuss who's going to the inauguration, who is not, and a few other clips.

So stick around.

We've got all of that and more coming up next on The Rush.

Well, TikTok went dark Saturday night and it was back on Sunday.

Seems like a political stunt to me. How do you talk about pop

culture without involving politics in the modern world we live in? Here's Rand Paul, Republican from

Kentucky. He is, I think one of the folks that wanted to save TikTok. He's trying to explain,

look, it's not an app owned by the CCP or the Chinese Communist Party.
