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 afternoon. You made it to the afternoon rush hour Monday, November 25th, 2024.

I mean, if this isn't a day to mail it in before the Thanksgiving

break, I don't know what is. It's a Monday and basically 2024 is over. So I say pack it in. That's

just my advice. On today's episode of The Rush Hour, we're going to be talking about Elton John.

He's blind in one eye following an infection. And musician Kate Nash explains why only fans earns her more money than her tour.

Also, a Menendez Brothers update, probably not the one you were expecting.

And also a sad update to the One Direction star, Liam Payne's untimely death.

And also breaking news from the world of Vanderpump rules. We'll get into what that is

at one of the restaurants is shutting down. I'll read Tom Zandival's statement. And Brett Farr,

speaking of shutting down, weighs in on if it's time for Aaron Rogers to retire. So I got all those

stories and so much more coming up next on The Rush.

I'd like to first start today's episode by congratulating a peer of mine and also a listener

of the Rush Hour podcast, Mrs. Kelly Johns. She posted on her Instagram, Our Miracle is here,

the greatest moment of our lives and our absolute dream come true.

All the tears, heartbreak, and despair. The past two years was worth it. She posted a video

introducing her new baby and her and her husband are so excited. The videos, the skin to skin

moment of contact. They're hanging. I mean, just a lovely, lovely story. And of course,

Kelly joined us on the podcast here to discuss her endometriosis diagnosis. And they adopted a beautiful

baby named Grayson. So we're very, very happy for Kelly Johns and her husband and her family.

What a Christmas for them. What a Christmas indeed.
