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.

Happy Thursday to you on this October 9th, 2025.

I got all of your stories for your rush hour ride to work.

Our featured story today will be Candice Owens as she continues to peel away the layers

regarding Charlie Kirk's murder.

Of course, there is a man in custody, but there's a lot more to the story.

Namely, several days ago, she released his text messages, which revealed Charlie was

being canceled by several of his large donors. Did this have anything to do with his untimely demise?

Not too sure, but those text messages have been authenticated and confirmed by Turning Point USA. So we'll get into all of that.

I've also got a couple other stories regarding Laura Owens as her trial is about to go forward

with regard to Michael Maruccini as she extends her restraining order. And then Trump continues his

war on Antifa and then more on the government shutdown. All these

stories and more starts right now on The Rush. So I do have the Candace Owen story. It's going to

start in a minute or two. But first, I wanted to share a couple more lighthearted clips. Here is

Robert Irwin, who's been crushing it on this season and Dancing with the Stars, takes his shirt

off during a dance, now gets an offer by Chippendales. Is it true that you were approached by Chippendales to host a show? And is something you're considering? That is true. That is true. The Aussie boys as well, Thunder Down Under also reached out. Mate, all power to him. Not for me. Not right now. I'm going to, you know, I'll take the shirt off every now and again. Oh, he won't be. I'm going to draw the line there. I think. Go now. Yeah, I mean, did you? Don't. I'm telling you, if you have abs, you might as well join Chippendales. If I took my shirt off, I would join Olive Garden. You know what I mean? I've got a very carb-heavy look happening right now. Hey, but it's, that's the season, right? It's fall, right? We're putting on fat for the winter. It's hibernating time, baby. Well, here's a bizarre story I wanted to share with you guys. An Indiana mom went missing. Her house was on fire, burnt down. Eight days later, she was found in the woods. The story's not

adding up. Have a listen. Okay, fast moving story here. We were planning to come on air tonight

with a bizarre story of a missing Indiana mother. But in the past just two hours, the case has taken

another completely mysterious turn. Brittany Guard, the missing mom, was found alive just

two miles from her home just this evening. But it has been eight days since she went missing.
