| 0:13.0 | Welcome to the lift. Get ready to take a ride. Right. |
| 0:36.2 | Hello, and welcome to season four episode number six of the lift. |
| 0:39.2 | I'm Daniel Foyek, and on behalf of everyone that helps create the Lyft, we're glad you're along for our annual Christmas ride. |
| 0:44.4 | A big thank you on behalf of all of us who make the lift to those who have chosen to support |

| 1:41.5 | It's pretty easy to say nothing and let things lie, but art has always been |
| 1:46.9 | about looking at society, holding up a mirror to it, and being brave enough to say, look. This has |
| 1:55.9 | really always been the mission of the show, and we remain unafraid to tackle difficult and |
| 2:00.8 | uncomfortable topics. If you've been a long- the show, and we remain unafraid to tackle difficult and uncomfortable |
| 2:01.3 | topics. If you've been a long-term listener, you know shining a light into the dark is our |
