| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Friday's morning show podcast because you deserve a better morning. |
| 0:05.0 | This is your reminder that we are going to be taking a little break next week and not |
| 0:09.9 | creating new episodes of the morning show podcast until the day after Labor Day. So your next |
| 0:16.4 | new episode of the morning show podcast will be on September 3rd. With that said, in today's pop stop, |
| 0:25.5 | I've got to give you an update to make you set your calendars so that we all watch the same |
