  Speaker 1: We all love a good life hack, but how about
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: a life hack that.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Might be considered a little bit shady?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Just slightly unethical, but makes your life easier.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, hi there.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: It's Cubby and Christine, 106.7 Light FM, and if you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: could please give us an example.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: These are rather hilarious, and I'm pulling from Reddit on this.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: You go to a party.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: You clog the toilet. Uh-oh. What you need to do
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: now is find the host and say, where's the bathroom?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: And then walk over and immediately run out and say,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: oh my God, the toilet's clogged.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That is brilliant.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Because we've all seen that scene from Dumb and Dumber.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Do not go in there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: You go to the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Bathroom and the one time that you have to do that,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the toilet gets clogged up and it's embarrassing.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But you brought up a good point. We were talking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: about this briefly off the air. If you know the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: house very well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're not going to get away with that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You're not going to get away with that if you
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: go to a friend's house a lot.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. No, you're at a party and you don't.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: They're saying don't boycott stuff. Like, if you're mad at
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: a store or a business or something and you're like,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: that's it, I'm not shopping from them, if you really
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: want to hit them hard, you buy stuff and return it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: It costs them more. Oh. I'm not saying I condone this, kids.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying what some people are doing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: These are all just things that might work, though.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: They could. If you forget to reply to a text...
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Or it was important, send the message you have five
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: times and say, are you getting my text messages?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Why didn't I think of that?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: That's a way out. How about you've got a service
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: free trial, you know, like I'm doing it right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I think it's Paramount Plus or something like that. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it's about to run out. So before it runs out,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: cancel it. Sometimes the company will offer you a discount
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: to have you stick around.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: That happens more than you think. That happened to me
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: recently with our alarm company. We hardly use the alarm.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We turn it on every now and then, but not enough.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And it was like $ 42 a month. I called them
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and said I was going to cancel it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Got us down to $ 33. Oh, really? Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going to try this with some things.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You can do that with a number of things.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're saying like with a gym membership, it's hard
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to get out of a gym membership generally, right? And
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: they say you have to come in person. Tell them
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you've moved out of state and then they'll send you
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the form online.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: These are just some little hacks.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the gym, I have a hack for you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I learned from somebody. You don't have to go to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the gym. You don't have to be in shape, everybody.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: If you meet somebody new or somebody that hadn't seen
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you in a while, you just tell them that you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: used to weigh 400 pounds.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And then they're like, wow.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Whoa, look what you did.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Look how far I've come.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yes. And then if you're eating like a cheeseburger, you go,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, today's my cheat day.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Every day's my cheat day.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Every day's my cheat day. Those are good life hacks though.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I like that. My favorite one, wasn't there one.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you have it in front of you,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: about if you want to tour something.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, this is a good one too.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, you want to go to a museum or like
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a fancy venue and you don't have the money for
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the entrance fee, just go with your significant other and
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: say that you're engaged.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And you want to tour the facility.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: And you want to tour, and they will walk you through, yes.
• 3:12
