  Speaker 1: got to get up, got to get things moving, got
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to start the routine, at least until they make today

  Speaker 2: You know we're doing the Fall Festival Tour. And over
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the weekend on Saturday, we went up to Thurmont, Maryland
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: to Magnolia Meadow Farms for their festival. We went last year, too.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: According to our spreadsheet, we wanted to return, and we did,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and a good time was had by all.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It's about an hour away from where we live, but
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: it was worth it, and it was lovely.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Thurmont's a great place. They have some great farm stands
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: up there on the way up and back on 15.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about Thurmont just outside
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of Camp Davidson. And the Catoctin National Park.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Now, why are you feeling good on this Monday?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling good because it's Monday. I'm feeling good because
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: there's a routine to return to, to a degree, after
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: not having the routine over the weekend. But I spent
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: some time with my significant other, who is on the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: road again. Oh, my. Because that's what she does.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: She travels a lot for work, in case you don't know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's her busy season.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So she's off to Philadelphia, then to Orlando, then to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: some other place. I lose track. I'm like, just hit
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: me on WhatsApp if you're out of the country and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: text me if you're in the country or you're within
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: cell range and we'll be good to go. So it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: little things like that, from picking up some wonderful stuff
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that grew fresh on the farm like you guys did,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: or spending time with your loved ones. I hope you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: had a great weekend. We hope you had a great weekend.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Tell me in Chile in the morning, tell us about it,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: why you guys enjoyed this morning. Because it's contagious, so
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: spread it. Spread it. And we got to spread some news.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Top Stories at the top of the hour coming up
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on this Monday morning. Your first intelligence briefing. Chili, what's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: The MTV Video Music Awards were last night and Madonna
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: was the big winner. I've got all the highlights coming
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: up in just a few.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Top Stories, top of the hour.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: The nor'easter that battered the East Coast is now losing
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: steam after bringing heavy rain, strong winds and flooding. One
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: person was killed in New York and thousands lost power
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: as the storm downed trees and utility lines across several states.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: The Washington Commanders stunned the Seahawks 33-31 yesterday, snapping Seattle's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: 12-game winning streak. QB Marcus Mariota threw three touchdowns and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Kane Medrano had a 50-yard pick-six to seal the win.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Five people were shot at a house party in Arlington
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: early Saturday morning. Police say a man involved in a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: dispute left the home and then came back with a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: gun and opened fire. One woman was seriously hurt. The
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: suspect remains on the loose. Now there are new questions
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: about why the Kennedy Center closed. Former employees say officials
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: knew about serious roof problems and had money for repair
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: months earlier. However, Kennedy Center officials say they discovered more
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: extensive damage this summer. If loud cars drive you crazy,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Fairfax County is doing something about it. New microphones are
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: going to be installed in Tysons in High Bluff Valley,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: where they will detect vehicles louder than 95 decibels. Drivers
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: could get a $ 100 fine, but there will be a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: 30-day warning period first. And Madonna was a big winner
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: at this year's MTV Video Music Awards last night, taking
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: home seven trophies, including Artist of the Year and Best
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. Taylor Swift won Video of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Year and dedicated the award to Dolly Parton. Forecast today,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: cloudy skies with highs near 70. Right now, 60 in Laurel.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And that's your first look at the news. With Toby
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and Chile in the morning, you get top stories at
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour here on 97.1 Wash FM.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: How you doing today? You need a little mental espresso
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to help you get into this Monday. Well, perhaps maybe
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we can help with your morning mindset. Maybe it'll inspire
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you to take on the day. Maybe it'll turn your
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: morning around. It's minutes away. Let's see what it says.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to you variety from the 80s 90s and today for
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: your monday morning here at 97.1 wash fm toby and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: chili in the morning and now we pause to talk
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: about you and how you're doing with your morning mindset.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: We find a quote that speaks to us maybe inspires
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: or motivates and hopefully it does the same for you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: From former first lady michelle obama who says success isn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: about how much money you make It's about the difference
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you make in people's lives. Success isn't about how much
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: money you make. It's about the difference you make in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people's lives. And it's important to remember this because I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: think that we do spend a lot of time trying
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to measure our lives by promotions at work, paychecks. Are
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we keeping up with colleagues, co-workers, the neighbors, the Joneses? Look,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: somebody's day could be better today just because you're a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: part of it. And that's a pretty good definition of success.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So be that person for someone else today and find
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: some success. You'll be surprised what it does for you
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in the process. That's your morning mindset for today. Keep
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it in mind as you go through whatever life brings
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: your way. And share it with somebody if you need it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You'll find it. Toby and Chili page, washfm.com. Hang out
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: for a few because... A.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Recent poll revealed Americans' biggest regrets. So we'll share the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: most popular ones plus share ours.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Do you have any regrets in this life? Looks like 22%
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of us don't have any. Let's break it down here
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at 97.1 Wash FM with Toby and Chili in the morning.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Well, the 22% who say they don't have any regrets,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I applaud you because that's amazing to live without that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: But the most popular regret in life is related to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: romantic relationships followed by career or work and family relationships
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: coming in third.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Things like money made the list, but not quite that high.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Also the kids and This shocks me that this is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: only 4% health, health and wellness. Why is that not higher?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Is that what your biggest regret is related to?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I wish I would have listened to my body earlier.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I wish I would have taken care of my body
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: earlier in life, but no, no, I had to go
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and subject myself to the hard way. And if I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: could rethink it, I don't want to say it's a regret,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but in reality it is. I would whisper to my
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: younger self, your health is important. Don't live your life
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: in one night. Stop. Take care of yourself. What about
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you with these regrets?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So it's a combination, right? I regret sacrificing so much
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: for my job. Work should never, ever have been more
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: important than personal life stuff. That has shifted, but I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: regret not being more present emotionally when my son was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: younger because I was so focused on the job.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But I'm making up for it as best I can now.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Job won't love you back, people.

• 7:45
  Speaker 4: It will not.

  Speaker 1: and Chili in the morning here at 97.1 Wash FM. 866-927-4361,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the number on this Monday morning. Jump in. We're going
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about the dumbest excuse an employee ever gave
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you for not coming into work. There's a reason why
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we're bringing it up. You'll find out what it is.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: 97.1 Wash FM. Toby and Chili in the morning. The
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: dumbest excuse an employee ever gave for not coming into work. Now,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it may not have been your employee. Maybe you just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: heard about it. Either way, we're talking about it this
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: morning at 866-927-4361. Join the conversation that we're bringing up
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: because of a proposed sort of a thing in the UK.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It's not really a law that's been proposed, but it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: something that a government advisor is bringing up.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He's saying we should go back to the days where
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: we would pick up the phone to call out sick
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: instead of texting or emailing. And his proposed solution is
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: more about an open dialogue between the employer and the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: employee where both people can feel more comfortable speaking about sickness,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: both physical and mental, and also make a return to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: work plan together, which could involve any kind of treatment. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: he's not a fan of the just sending a quick
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: text or an email. I'm going to be out tomorrow
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: or I'm out today.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'll have a problem with that. See, I think that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we've lost the art of being able to have a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: conversation and some people are just afraid. If you're sick,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you're sick. Pick up the phone, call your boss, tell him.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's okay to keep texting and emailing. For me,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: this is just sort of a formality, giving a heads
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: up to management saying, Listen, I'm going to be out.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I'm taking a sick day. I'm not really sure why
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I would want to have a conversation with you about
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it because it's personal, perhaps. Maybe it was an emergency situation.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have time to be making no calls and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: answering any questions. Yes, there are times where open communication
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and a phone call is important. I'm just not thinking
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it has to be for calling out sick. Well, what
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think we can all agree on is this. Dumb
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: excuses for not being at work. You can deliver those
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: in the form of a conversation, email or text. Is
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: there a dumb excuse you've heard that somebody gave for
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: not coming into work, Chili? I worked with a guy who,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this was back when we had to call, called us
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and said he couldn't come in because he got hurt
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: from a raindrop. He had been riding a roller coaster
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and a raindrop hit him in the eye going pretty fast.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So he was out for at least a day. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: then we joked that it was a concussive raindrop.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I got nothing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You can't beat that excuse.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: No, no. I'm not even going to try. No. Not
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: even going to try. That's our favorite. 866-927-4361. You got
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a dumb excuse you've heard. Maybe you've given it for
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: not coming to work. Call us. Tell us. We won't judge.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: But you may just get crickets. If your excuse is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: really ridiculous. 97.1 Watch FM. Washington's variety from the 80s,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: 90s and today with Toby and Chili in the morning.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: A government advisor in the UK says, you know what?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: If you're going to call in sick and miss work,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you should make the actual phone call. No emails, no texts.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And now we're talking about dumb excuses for missing work.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: What? Why?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Because those dumb excuses can be delivered any which way
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you can imagine.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: And you know what? We're not going to judge. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: whether it's you who called in this silly excuse or
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you work with somebody who did, we are ready to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: hear it now at 866-927-4361.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Good morning in Palisades, Omar. What you got?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Sorry I can't come in today.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: My dog is emotionally unavailable.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Wow, we've come a long way from my dog ate
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: my homework.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Did you ever work with Chili in
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a previous life? Honestly, I respected the creativity more than
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the excuse. Oh, no, I think creativity is kind of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a stretch there, Omar. But you know what? It is
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: what it is. And that was a dumb excuse. We're
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Toby and Chili in the morning. Let's shoot over to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: College Park. Good morning, Becca.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I had someone tell me that he was in a
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: food coma from the night before.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Wow. Well, I've experienced a food coma before, but never
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: thought to use that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I was not ready to accept that as an excuse.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Food comas aren't going to fly with me.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Hopefully all those people who have you as a direct
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: report got the message. No dumb excuses. Dobie and Chili
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in the morning, if you have an excuse you want
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to add to the list that we've heard so far,
• 15:28

• 20:18
  Speaker 6: It is 97.1.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Watch FM. Stay right there because next.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: A local artist is turning Baltimore into an art treasure hunt.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's a story we think will make your Monday and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: it'll also make you want to run to Charm City
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and start looking for some of these treasures. Don't wonder now.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You understand? Now, a story that we think might just
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: make your Monday here at 97.1 Wash FM with Toby
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and Chili in the morning. Let's imagine walking through the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: streets of Charm City. That's right, Baltimore. And while you're walking,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you stumble across an original painting. And then you find
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: out that you can take that painting home forever.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the idea behind a really cool citywide scavenger
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: hunt from Baltimore artists Zoe and Daria Ostry. So for
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the past several months, Zoe's been hiding her original artwork
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: all around the city, giving people a chance to discover
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: it and then keep it, which is a piece of
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: her work.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: This is amazing. Now, she's hidden paintings in Hampton, Charles Village,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Fells Point, Mount Vernon, and the art. These pieces, they're
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: really easy to spot. I mean, it's art. Each one
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: comes with a little, you found me note, which is
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: like a certificate of authenticity. The catch, you got to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: follow Zoe on TikTok or Insta. She's dropping clues about
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: where the next painting will appear right there.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Now, sometimes people race to the location after they see
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a clue and another time someone just happens to walk
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: by at exactly the right moment. And Zoe, who, by
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the way, is originally from Alexandria, Virginia, says the whole
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: point of this is to make art more accessible. letting
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the artwork find you instead of expecting you to find
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: it in a gallery.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: That is just an exclamation point. And speaking of exclamation points.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Zoe's already thinking bigger, and she has this idea that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: maybe she could take the scavenger hunt to other cities.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I would like to invite you to come on down
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: 95 to D.C.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Now, this is awesome because I hope she inspires other
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: artists to do the same. If you want to read
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: more about what Zoe is doing, you can find the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: story on the Toby and Chili page at washfm.com.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: She's almost like Baltimore's Banksy, but not quite Banksy. Good stuff.
• 22:32

  Speaker 1: us a little bit of information. at 866-927-4361 there are
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: two types of people in the world the people who
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: are into halloween decorations in the yard and the people
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: who are into christmas decorations in the yard now where
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: do you stand on this are you team halloween or
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: team christmas we're talking about it call now and join
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: us Now, Chili, you have a home over there near Tyson's,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and I have an apartment, but I have a patio.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: You get to decorate bigly, but I will decorate said
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: patio just in time for the holidays. But the question
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that I have this morning here at 97.1 Wash FM is.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: If you're decorating your home or your yard, which do
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you prefer to decorate? Halloween or Christmas? 866-927-4360. The one
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is the number if you want to get into this chat.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: You can always tell the neighbors in the cul-de-sac who
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: prefer one over the other. So a couple of them
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: have already started the Halloween interpretation outside their home. We
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: definitely prefer the Christmas decorations. The only reason we ever
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: had any Halloween was my son liked this ghost that
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: we hung on the door. But that's about it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I am more Christmas. And if I were to answer
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: any other way, I would be sleeping on the couch
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: or probably put my relationship in jeopardy because my significant
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: other is already talking about putting up her 10 to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: 15 trees, including a few trees that she wants to
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: put up at my place. So Halloween loses in the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Toby Knapp household. So where do you stand on decorating
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: for Halloween versus Christmas? Frank, good morning in Rockville.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: You know, I would actually be more into Christmas than
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Halloween if people would just be more creative about how
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: they go about it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Because every year it's kind of the same thing. Yeah,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: but what do you mean by getting more creative?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Like have some creepy Christmas decorations. I think that would
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: be really cool. Yeah, because nothing says festive, joyous time
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of the year like Santa Claus dressed as a zombie.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call there, Frank in Rockville. Now, Jeannie
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: in Arlington, what you got?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: I have always been a big Christmas person, but in
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: recent years, I find myself buying new Halloween decorations every
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: year and making it bigger and brighter.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Because my kids have gotten into Halloween so much more.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Good answer, Amy. Good answer. And thank you for jumping
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in this morning. Let's go say hello to Dean in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Friendship Heights. I would say Halloween.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: You say it with such certainty.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Halloween has more interesting stuff. And with Halloween, you can
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: go positive and negative. The characters can be really scary
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: and mean or very funny and joyful. With Christmas, you
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: really only get joyful.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Have you never heard of the Scrooge?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: And a bah humbug to you. These days, it seems
