On today’s Rush Hour Podcast, things get a little...tentacled. We start with the bizarre headline of the day: an octopus attacks a child, and no, this isn’t a Pixar movie. Then, Dancing with the Stars alum Cheryl Burke speaks out and shuts down plastic surgery rumors—she says it’s all natural, folks.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing legal saga, Justin Baldoni fires back at Blake Lively’s legal team after they try to strike her deposition from the court record. It’s getting messy. And finally, Apple CEO Tim Cook makes a surprise appearance at the White House, where he reportedly groveled before the president in a closed-door tech meeting—what exactly is Cook cooking up?

Tap in for the chaos, commentary, and caffeine-fueled takes you’ve come to expect from your favorite morning escape.
