| 0:00.0 | 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, everybody. Happy hump day to you on this November 12th. 2025. I got all your stories for your rush hour ride home. |
| 0:22.9 | Big updates coming from Washington, D.C. as new information from the Epstein files, new, never |
| 0:30.7 | before seeing emails have come out. And I'm going to be sharing those with you at the very end of |
| 0:35.4 | this episode. But first, we're going to get into Harry Potter. |
| 0:38.8 | A big day for my Potterheads out there. |
| 0:41.4 | I'll show you the cast member that's going to be on Broadway. |
| 0:45.0 | Also, we'll be covering Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively and Colleen Hoover and Ryan Reynolds. |

| 1:40.7 | FBI to get his name removed, there's some shady, shady stuff going on. I want us all to get |
| 1:47.1 | to the bottom of it. And I think that's starting to happen. I honestly think we're living, |
| 1:51.3 | and I know it's hard for some people to believe this, I think we're living in the moment where we crack |
| 1:55.1 | one of the biggest conspiracy theories or one of the biggest conspiracies of our government's history. |
| 2:00.8 | And this isn't a good thing. It's a dark day, but at least just... or one of the biggest conspiracies of our government's history. |
