| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the rush hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride. |
| 0:07.0 | Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal. |
| 0:13.0 | Good morning everybody, happy Friday to you on this September 12th, 2025. |
| 0:18.0 | I've all your stories for your rush hour ride to work. An incredibly exhausting week it was. |
| 0:24.9 | Stories we've, of course, reported on that I wish we never would have to. Precedents have been set, |
| 0:30.8 | violence. But what we've also seen is people come together, grace, compassion, and love. |
| 0:36.6 | If you guys will stick around, I'm going to |
