• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Wash FM. Toby and Chili in the morning, you feeling
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: good today? I sincerely hope so. There's always a reason
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to feel good first thing in the morning, and that's
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: why we talk about it. So why are you feeling
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: good this morning there, Chili Amar?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling good because I thought I had forgotten to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: send myself the show stuff that I do the day before.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: And I was having a panic, like, oh, great, I
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: got to go through all that research again. No, I remembered.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I guess when you're on autopilot sometimes, you don't have
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a clear memory of doing it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, that happens all the time now. I thought it
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: was just getting older, Chili.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Well, that might have something to do with it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You think?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: What were we talking about? Exactly.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You may want to get that checked.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, right? Must be a thing. No, but
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you know what? It's very true about autopilot. You just
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: let it go. And then sometimes you're like, wait a minute, what?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Did I do that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: What day is it again? I totally spaced.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling good because, Julie, I have paid attention in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this career to people that can teach you things. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: there are people who don't do what we do, but
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: they do some behind the scenes stuff. It's very important
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to our overall job. I mean, you think we just
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: turn a microphone on and talk? No, there's a lot
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: that goes into it. And, you know, when you listen
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to those people, we call them engineers. You pick up things,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you learn how to diagnose things on your own, you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: learn how to fix problems to a degree on your own.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And I had like a issue with the Wi-Fi and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the internet at my house yesterday. And it's because of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: things I learned from paying attention to them that I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: was able to fix it, restart it, basically reconfigure it,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: reset it up from scratch again. And I wouldn't have
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: known how to do that had I not just shut
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: up and listened, you know, when I, when they were
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in the studio doing different things to keep the overall
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: station on the air. So, You learn something from anyone

  Speaker 3: we find a quote and share it with you for

  Speaker 3: the morning mindset.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And this is a very, very, very powerful morning mindset
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: for you this morning. When you think about difficult moments
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in life, Sandra Oh says that difficult moments in life
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: are opportunities to practice how you want to show up,

  Speaker 2: how you want to lead and who you want to be.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Sandra Oh says that talking about difficult moments. There are

• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you want to lead, and who you want to be.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You see, it is in those difficult moments that you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: find the person that you want to be in them.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it helps you to make that choice. You
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: just have to not be afraid to embrace these difficult
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: moments and the teaching that comes along with them because
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: they're opportunities more than they are something that can be frustrating.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: although at times I'm sure that they can be. And
• 6:11

• 6:14

• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And if you've got something you want to share with
• 6:19

• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Toby and Chili page at washfm.com. In the meantime, don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: go anywhere because people have an issue with this sort
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of a job.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, do you consider influencers or content creators
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: a real job? We're going to share the results of
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a recent survey and what... Most Americans say.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Think of some social media influencer that you've encountered or
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: maybe somebody in your life has encountered. They follow them religiously.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Toby and Chili in the morning, 97.1 Wash FM. That
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: being said, do you think that social media influencing is
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: an actual job?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: 52% do not see content creation as a legitimate career. 32% do. Obviously,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: younger folks disagree the most. They're the generation that's sort
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: of flying high with this.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And 43% of Americans would support their child if they said, mom, dad,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I want to major in content creation or being an influencer.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Interestingly, though, 33% say they would not support their kid
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: if that was what they came to them and said, hey,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I want to major in this in college.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And don't laugh because Arizona State does offer a degree.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: That's one of the universities that offers a degree in
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: content creation and being an influencer.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: What is your opinion? First, let me ask you, do
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you think it's a real job? Yeah, it's a lot
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of work. Yeah, it's a lot of work. I would
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: agree with you. I think it is a job. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: know why people say it's not a real job because, well,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it's not like you went to school for it. Well, OK,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: but there are a lot of things in life that
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: we teach ourselves or that we become really good at.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I think if you can turn anything into a profit,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: that equals job.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Even if it is you shaking your booty in a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: bikini on the Internet on somebody else's yacht.
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Now, if my son, who's about to be 13 in
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: a few years, said, you know, I really want to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: pursue content creation or being an influencer. On the one hand,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: of course, I want to support him, but I'd have
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to be realistic. By then, you know, there's going to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: be even more out there. The competition is going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: be even more than it is now. I'd have to
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: be like, dude, it's going to be really tough to
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: truly make it. I would give maybe a year or
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: two to try it. And if it doesn't work, fail
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: fast and move on.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And have a backup plan.
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. I do know about all of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: this technology-driven social media influencing stuff. What it pays maybe
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: now won't be what it pays in five years. If
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it was that easy, everybody would do it. You can
• 8:39

• 12:01
  Speaker 2: us about this morning. And when I say us, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: mean all of us, all five of us. Her hubs
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: is saying that they're wasting money on something. And that
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: it's something that the kid is not very good at.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Find out what her dilemma is and we'll see if
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: we can help in a few. Toby and Chili in
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the morning. It's 97.1 Wash FM. One of the great
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: things about the job here with Toby and Chili in
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the morning is that sometimes, just sometimes, you ask us
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: for advice about the things you're going through. These little
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: dilemmas that come up from time to time in life.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: We've all been there and we've all needed a little help.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening in Fairfax, Andrea. So what's
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: this dilemma you're having in your family?
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: My daughter, I love I obviously love her with every
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: fiber of my being, but she's not that talented vocally.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: And she is loving singing lessons, but they're so expensive.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: And my husband really wants to kind of pull the
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: plug on it. And I don't know what to do.
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: place and I don't want to break her heart.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you are between a rock and a really, really,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: really hard place.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: And you're trying to be honest about the situation and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you don't see a future in her singing. So why
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: invest all that money?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: This is like the parenting no-win situation.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, that's sort of exactly how I feel.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: As parents, we are there to support our kids' passions,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: but we also have to be very honest with some feedback. No,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I'm kidding. Don't break her heart. I say if you
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: can still keep paying, keep going. I think it'll eventually
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: resolve itself when your daughter probably realizes maybe she's not
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: up to par.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: It's tough love. Sometimes you have to have these rough conversations.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, you are not.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: No, I'm serious. But that's exactly what I did with
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: my daughter, Kyla. She was not the most rhythmically adept
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: dancer in dance class.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Now, I didn't slam her.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't constantly bring up that maybe she wasn't as
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: good as some others who had been dancing since, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: don't know, they came out of the womb. But I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: was pretty clear that, hey, if this is not something
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you're good at, find what it is that you're passionate about.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: but i tried not to interrupt her fun hopefully uh
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: we're better for it and hopefully some of those conversations
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: rubbed off and uh well i guess we'll see what
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: we'll see as life continues to unfold right one could
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: hope 866-927-4361 is the number if you've got some advice
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: for andrea from fairfax what should she do how should
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: she handle it the kid's not that great at singing
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Do they keep paying for the singing lessons, or do
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: they have a tough conversation? Andrea, we'll take the temperature
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: of the classroom this morning.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: Thanks.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Because it does take a village to get through these things,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and that's just what we'll do. If you were listening
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to Toby and Chili in the morning here on 97.1
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Wash FM a bit ago, you know we were talking
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to Andrea from Fairfax about something she's going through with
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: her family, specifically her daughter.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Well, her husband wants to stop paying for their daughter's
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: singing lessons because, well, she's not that great of a
• 15:11

  Speaker 3: We've got a really interesting talkback message left by Steve saying,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Who is asking us about our thoughts on AI and

  Speaker 3: it potentially destroying the civilization as we know it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: No matter when the question hits you, we're always listening
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: via talk back here at 97.1 Wash FM with Toby
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: and Chili in the morning. And you can leave us
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: a message at any time of the day or night.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: We don't have to be talking to you in order
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: for you to leave us that message, much like Steve
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: from Manassas did. It's 97.1 Wash FM. Toby and Chili
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: in the morning. Let's give this a listen, Chili. Hey, guys.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: This is Steve.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I listen to you guys every morning, and I'm a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: big fan.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: And I have a question for you guys.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: I have a debate about A.I.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: So everyone keeps saying that in about.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: 10 years or so, AI is going to.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Basically kill us and kill our society. And I basically
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: wanted to get your opinion and see what you guys think.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, can't we just pull the plug?
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: That's my question.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: Can't we just....
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: End it and then not even bother with it anymore
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: or or what.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Do you guys think i actually can't wait to see
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: what people.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Say about this have.
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: A great day i love the show well steve it's
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: not as easy as unplugging you see it's too late
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: to undo what's been done that's right however and i
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: think you'll agree with me toby that you and i
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: are both for having some sort of guardrails in place
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: so that it doesn't get out of hand and cause what.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: You said which is the end of what society is Yes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: The end of civilization as we know it. Yes, once
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: it becomes sentient, we've got problems. That's being dramatic. But
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the truth is that AI is very helpful. And I
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: am aware AI, if left unchecked, can be problematic. But
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: just because you have technology that has the potential for
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: bad doesn't mean that everybody will use it for bad things.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of good that can come
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: from it. For people like us, it's just better than
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Google in a lot of ways because it gives you
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: access to even more information.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I think people have the biggest problem with generative AI
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: because that does the most quote unquote damage. So that's
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: just how we feel.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: 866-927-4361 is the number. Steve from Anastas leaving us a
• 24:56

• 25:03
  Speaker 2: it time to pause it or should we embrace it
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: because it's the future? What say you about Steve's query?
