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. Dave Neal here on this first Monday of the new year, January 6th, 2025. I've got all of your news here in one place for your

Fire Department has beef with the new policy. Also, Michael J. Fox awarded the Presidential Medal of

Freedom. All these stories and more coming up next on The Rush. Well, let's start with some

bachelor tea before we get into the Golden Globes, and we love a good unvetted Bachelor story.
