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 January 2nd, 2025.

I've got all of your information for your rush hour ride to work.

Very sad to report. We're going to start today's episode off discussing the terrorist attack,

which happened yesterday morning in New Orleans. I'll have all the updates on that. Plus,

the other attack, which looks like went down in Las Vegas there now, considering that terrorist-related.

Plus, also in way less serious news, I've got updates on Mr. Beast proposing to his girlfriend,

so I'll share that story.

And the lawsuit that Justin Baldoni filed against the New York Times for a quarter billion

dollars.

We shared that yesterday.

We'll have more updates to that. He came with receipts and we'll share some of those with you. It's an absolutely

bombshell story, A-Lister PR battle going back and forth. In another Bachelor news, Laura Owens,

the woman who's accused Clayton Eckerd of being the father of her

never-born unborn twins, her father, Ron Owens, is starting a go-fund me for his medical bills,

all while Laura awaits the results of her appeal in the case against Bachelor Clayton Eckerd.

As of right now, she's on the hook to pay his legal fees of $150,000.

So all of that story and also what some of Ron Owen's fans are saying. Of course, he was a

relatively famous radio DJ out of San Francisco. They're questioning the GoFund me, though.

So I got all those stories and so much more, it's coming up next on the rush.
