| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the rush hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride. |
| 0:07.7 | Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal. |
| 0:13.7 | Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday to you on this February 27th, 2026. I have all of your news for your rush hour ride to work. And we have a special |
| 0:22.4 | episode for you today as I have an interview with the host of the new Bachelor Clayton |
| 0:28.1 | Eckerd versus Laura Owens podcast. It's called Love Trapped. And actually just looked it up on the |
| 0:33.7 | charts. What number is it? It's number 27 in true crime in the United States right now, |
| 0:38.5 | and they've only had episodes up for what? Two days. They've released the first two episodes. |
| 0:43.6 | It's a 10-part series for season one, at least. We'll have to see if they get any more seasons. |
| 0:48.9 | And I really wanted to talk to Stephanie, the host of this podcast, to find out sort of how she got involved. |

| 1:25.4 | It's only available wherever you listen to audio. And by the way, I did want to |

| 1:35.9 | they're up across all, as far as I know, across all platforms. Usually when there's tech |
| 1:41.2 | issues, it's always up on YouTube. We never have issues with YouTube, |
| 1:45.0 | but sometimes there's issues with the RSS feed. It's a whole thing. So just letting you guys know, |
| 1:49.6 | if you don't see my content out there, try YouTube, but it should all be rip roaring right now. |
| 1:55.6 | Well, I don't want to drag this out because it's a nice long chat. So without further ado, |
| 2:00.8 | here's my chat with Stephanie Young. |
