| 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 morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday to you on this September 23rd, 2025. I have all of your stories for your rush hour ride to work. Big news story |
| 0:23.0 | of the day, Jimmy Kimmel, unfired, unc canceled. He'll be back tonight on ABC, but not in every |
| 0:28.9 | market. I'll explain why. Also, congrats, happy rapture day to everyone out there. There's a viral |
| 0:35.8 | TikTok phenomenon happening where they're calling it |
| 0:38.9 | rapture talk. And I'm going to explain why people think the world may be ending today. |
| 0:44.5 | I don't believe it is. Still go to work or don't, do whatever you need to do. But I'll let you know |
| 0:49.1 | if we lose any of our, I don't know, followers here on the YouTube will understand, oh, it's not because |
| 0:54.8 | they canceled me, it's because they canceled life on earth. We'll share that story. And then, |
| 1:00.0 | of course, after Jimmy Kimball, we are going to talk to a psychologist. That's right. I had a |
| 1:04.7 | fantastic conversation with not just a psychologist, but a professor of psychology, who actually gave a statement to the January 6th |

| 1:19.3 | violence, division, Thanksgiving, looks like it's going to be a tough one for a lot of families |
| 1:25.7 | out there. We just talk into what actually is dividing us. |
| 1:29.7 | I think the conversation is such a good starting point to trying to dissect why we all disagree |
| 1:37.0 | and all the anger that's coming with it. So all these stories and more, we're going to dive into it, |
| 1:41.5 | starts right now on the rush. And like I said, our first |
| 1:45.1 | story, no one knows the day or hour of the rapture except for TikTok. I don't know if you guys |
| 1:51.1 | are on the same algorithm I am, but lots of people, I guess, have been making prep videos as |
| 1:57.2 | they prepare to ascend into heaven. And I'm not here to mock heaven, but we do hear from a |
| 2:03.0 | theologian who says, the rapture was made up. So this is actually the clip that went viral right here |
| 2:10.7 | that I'm going to share with you guys, which is what led to the viral, I guess, moment of people |
| 2:16.8 | believing that the rapture is today. A pastor's prediction |
