  Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah it was maybe one.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Sorry, not trying to rub it in, but yeah it
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: was that.

• 2:01
  Speaker 3: been really really busy. Usually the winter's slow for him,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: but he's busy, so he's not around. So I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I got to tackle bills and yuck that kind of stuff,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: just because we're getting closer to the tax season.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So I did that yesterday. I started downloading a few forms. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm putting them on my desktop just to get
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: ready time to put I put them all on the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: folder right on my desktop, and then yeah, yeah, you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: not like that, are you.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I still have a lot coming on paper, yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: which isn't the greatest thing, because I also have a
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: lot of junk mail mail, like physical mail, and I
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: want to go through now and just make sure I
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: haven't missed anything. Yeah, because we just like to kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of put those out to the curb and it's like,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: oh wait.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But the good news is though, if you do forget,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I might have shredded that, or I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: might have found that away.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You know, you could probably go aline.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I used to get a paper copy of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: my like mortgage, and one time I couldn't find it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago.
• 2:57

  Speaker 1: Thing is a rather short, just quick one line here. Okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but a study found that people who practice bird watching
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: lead a more peaceful life.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Oh so think about that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: If you do watch birds, do you really do lead
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a peaceful life?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure it adds to it. It's just a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: beautiful way to pass some time.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you can take it up. If you're not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: doing it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go outside and stare at pigeons. Yeah that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: therapy right there, My new therapy. And it was gonna
• 3:47

• 4:34
  Speaker 3: day to do this, and the jewelry that's donated goes

• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Next on light.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: FM, hotel bathrooms are changing, Christine Nagy not happy about it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: One oh six point seven LIGHTFM, Covey, Christine producer Kristin. Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this is really becoming a thing much so there's a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: story about it. Yeah, bathroom doors, well or not the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: door knobs. But just like the open concept.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: When you stay in a hotel room, right, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and you're with whoever you're with, don't you want a
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: little privacy? When you go to the bathroom and when
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you shower.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: A big fan of just an old fashioned door, yes, open, shut, done.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: They've been disappearing and I know the tiniest violin here,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and I've complained to you about this before, but Eric
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and I have been in hotel rooms where I feel
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: like I'm a you know, Macy's display, or like I
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: should be doing a dance in a club, because yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: just the silhouettes scene, everything, just a little bit doesn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: do much. They'll put this has been several times now
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: different places us overseas. They'll put the shower like literally
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: in the room with you, right, and it's just a
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: square and you step up to it and hello, there
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you are taking your shower. And then there's.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Definitely like some music now like girls, I feel like.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah for Eric, not for me. I wasn't happy.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And then when he had to take the shower by
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the way, he wasn't happy either. And then also there's
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: reading how like they're even taking the doors away from
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the toilet and just kind of sticking it in a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: little nook. And the reason hotels are doing it, apparently
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: is because they're quote unquote modernizing by removing the doors,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: but also because it's just really expensive and they're trying
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to save some money, so they're sticking toilets and showers
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and random little nooks in the rooms. And sometimes, like
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you said, you get that frosted glass, but that doesn't
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: work at all.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You know what I think?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: You get a half wall.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get a half wall. Well, I mean, have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you ever been in the showers, I forget the whole
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: door thing. You've ever been in a shower where it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: just glass and you can't even there's no door or anything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's just maybe half glass.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you try your best to keep the water
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: from coming out, because you know, you want to make
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sure when house ceping comes in. But you do all
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you can, and no matter what you do, all the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: water's on the floor. I'm like, well they designed it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: That way, I know. And you use up your precious towels, yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: trying to soak all of that up, I know. I mean.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And even it's just privacy really important.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Is this what you hear in your head as you're
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: showering in one of these fancy hotels and Eric, your
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: drummer fiances on the bed and he's watching.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Shadow. Yeah, Christy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's big.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Soap it up.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: That's what I don't you doing. I can't shower because
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: he does that to me.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Right, if you have a vacation for a week, you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: not showering for a week.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I have to shower. But it's not like it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: not a show. But it turns all right.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Give us a text if you're on board with this,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: no door thing four three six three more.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Cubby and Christine and the great music variety you expect

  Speaker 1: But there's something going on with this particular horse that's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: gone viral.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: The Sad Horse, and he is absolutely adorable. And I
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: just want to say I want him, and I don't
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: need him. But he's a little stuffed horse, right, a
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: little toy that appears to be crying. So he's being
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: manufactured in China, and right now is China's hottest toy.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And it's supposed to be a happy horse celebrating Year
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of the Horse, but there was a manufacturing problem and
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: his smile was sewn on upside down.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It is cute. I'll looking at it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Right, and then his nostrils make it look like he
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: has tears. And it's the cutest little toy. And apparently
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: people in China can't get enough of it. It's selling
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: out and they're saying the vibe perfectly captures how overworked
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: young professionals feel, with some people posting this is just
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the way I feel at work, this little sad horse.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: This must have been done on purpose. Now because it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: so cute and so many people are talking about it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I bet you they say it's quote mistake, but maybe
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: they meant to do it because it's got people talking.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Or they made a mistake and then they'll like make
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: more mistakes too. Yeah, but like the sad horse, he
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: really is like a very cute little sad horse.

• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Most incredible thing for me is the effect, the affection
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: of the people. I feel it, especially in America. America,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: the American audience is my favorite audience because they have
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: an approach with the music that I love very much.
