- 0:23Speaker 5: Getting into the routine, like you said, it is the
- 0:26Speaker 5: third day of school for those of us in Fairfax County. And, um,
- 0:30Speaker 5: I'm going to get my hair done. So hair appointment today,
- 0:33Speaker 5: pick up some prescriptions, some errands to run without worrying
- 0:36Speaker 5: about a kid at home. He's at school. So that's great.
- 0:42Speaker 5: It's nice to get back into the routine in that sense.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Yes.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I am excited because it'll be quiet during the middle
- 0:48Speaker 2: of the day. After I get done with physical therapy today,
- 0:50Speaker 2: I will take a nap and the kids will not
- 0:53Speaker 2: be present in the pool. And I will not hear
- 0:55Speaker 2: splashing until probably after three or so, in which case...
- 1:00Speaker 2: But that's fine by me because you know what? At
- 1:02Speaker 2: least I will have gotten a good nap in. And
- 1:05Speaker 2: that is what counts when you get up early in
- 1:08Speaker 2: the morning. It's 97.1 Wash FM. You feeling good this morning?
- 1:12Speaker 2: Tell us why we're listening. And if you need the news,
- 1:14Speaker 2: hang out. Top stories at the top of the hour
- 1:17Speaker 2: on the way. What's going on?
- 1:18Speaker 5: You probably heard the news yesterday that country music icon
- 1:21Speaker 5: Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. Well,
- 1:24Speaker 5: now we've got more details on her death and we'll
- 1:27Speaker 5: share it with you in just a few.
- 1:32Speaker 6: Top stories, top of the hour.
- 1:34Speaker 5: Country music icon Dolly Parton has died at the age
- 1:38Speaker 5: of 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Her family
- 1:41Speaker 5: says that she passed peacefully at Nashville's Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center,
- 1:45Speaker 5: surrounded by loved ones. Not only did she win 11
- 1:49Speaker 5: Grammys and sell over 100 million records worldwide, but Dolly
- 1:54Speaker 5: was also known for her philanthropy. A California man facing
- 1:58Speaker 5: charges after allegedly parking a truck that was carrying a
- 2:00Speaker 5: guillotine near the U.S. Capitol yesterday. Police arrested the 35-year-old
- 2:05Speaker 5: suspect for carrying a dangerous weapon. The administration is warned
- 2:10Speaker 5: in a court filing that it could demolish the Kennedy
- 2:13Speaker 5: Center if renovation plans are blocked, saying that the building
- 2:17Speaker 5: risks becoming unsafe without them. An outdoor amphitheater along the
- 2:21Speaker 5: Potomac has been floated as a replacement for the building.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Prince George's County Schools is fixing transportation problems. Apparently about
- 2:30Speaker 5: 10,000 students were affected yesterday after the district's bus tracking
- 2:35Speaker 5: app crashed and some stops had no bus assigned. The
- 2:39Speaker 5: district is adding staff to fix the issue. Virginia lawmakers
- 2:44Speaker 5: and advocates are now pushing to require a licensed nurse
- 2:47Speaker 5: in every single public schools after data shows that about 10%
- 2:52Speaker 5: currently operate without one. State law currently just permits nurses
- 2:57Speaker 5: rather than mandating them. And a new ranking of America's
- 3:01Speaker 5: favorite dog breeds for 2026 finds non-designer mixed breeds as
- 3:07Speaker 5: number one, followed by Labrador Retrievers and then Golden Retrievers.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Forecast today will have partly cloudy skies, highs around 86,
- 3:15Speaker 5: right now 64 in Arlington.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Need a little bit of get me up out of
- 3:21Speaker 2: bed and get me started today? Know the feeling. It's
- 3:24Speaker 2: 97.1 Wash FM. Stay right there now that you've got
- 3:27Speaker 2: the news. Top stories at the top of the hour.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Hang for a minute and we'll give you hopefully what
- 3:32Speaker 2: it is you need to take on a brand new
- 3:34Speaker 2: day with your morning mindset. If you're one of the
- 3:38Speaker 2: many bus drivers getting ready to go for today, thank
- 3:41Speaker 2: you for choosing 97.1 Wash FM.
- 3:43Speaker 3: We're Toby and Chili in the morning.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And it's time now for something that we hope can
- 3:47Speaker 2: give a little extra lift to your day. We call
- 3:49Speaker 2: it your morning mindset.
- 3:51Speaker 5: We find a quote and then we share it with
- 3:52Speaker 5: you to think about as you take on the rest
- 3:54Speaker 5: of your day.
- 3:55Speaker 2: George Elliott says this morning, it's never too late to
- 3:58Speaker 2: be what you might have been. It is never too
- 4:02Speaker 2: late to be what you might have been. You might
- 4:05Speaker 2: be Laying in bed this morning, hitting snooze again, thinking,
- 4:10Speaker 2: what am I doing? Why have I put this expiration
- 4:14Speaker 2: date on myself?
- 4:15Speaker 3: Well, you know what?
- 4:16Speaker 2: That's imaginary. That expiration date is imaginary. Career change, starting over,
- 4:23Speaker 2: falling in love, getting healthier. Today, it doesn't care how
- 4:27Speaker 2: old you are. It really just wants to know what
- 4:30Speaker 2: you're going to do with today that's going to make
- 4:33Speaker 2: a difference. So think about that. Get out of bed
- 4:36Speaker 2: and get your day started, unless, of course, your day's
- 4:38Speaker 2: already started, in which case, keep that in mind as
- 4:41Speaker 2: you go. It is never too late to be what
- 4:44Speaker 2: you might have been, according to George Eliot. I think
- 4:47Speaker 2: that's good advice for all of us to keep in
- 4:49Speaker 2: mind as we get into a brand new day. And
- 4:51Speaker 2: that is your morning mindset. If you need it again,
- 4:53Speaker 2: you'll find it in stories. You can find it on Insta.
- 4:56Speaker 2: You can find it on Facebook. You can find the
- 4:59Speaker 2: Toby and Chili page at washfm.com and share with us
- 5:02Speaker 2: something that gives you a little bit of extra lift
- 5:05Speaker 2: as we get into a new day. In the meantime,
- 5:08Speaker 2: stay right there because in just a few.
- 5:10Speaker 5: I totally forgot to ask you how your girlfriend reacted
- 5:14Speaker 5: to the birthday gift you gave her and whether she's
- 5:18Speaker 5: actually using.
- 5:19Speaker 4: It or not.
- 5:19Speaker 5: So can you please give us an update?
- 5:21Speaker 3: Toby and Tilly in the morning.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It is 97.1 Wash FM on a Wednesday morning as
- 5:27Speaker 2: you make your way into this, the middle of the week.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Thank God the weekend is now a conversation. So you
- 5:35Speaker 2: wanted to know something this morning there, Tilly?
- 5:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:38Speaker 5: So a couple of weeks ago, you said you purchased
- 5:41Speaker 5: your girlfriend a travel bag, a really nice high end
- 5:45Speaker 5: travel bag. And I asked you, do you think she's
- 5:48Speaker 5: going to like it and or use it? And now
- 5:51Speaker 5: I'm wondering how... How was her reaction? I mean, did
- 5:54Speaker 5: she appreciate what you did for her?
- 5:56Speaker 2: Absolutely, because it was a vintage travel bag. One that, well,
- 6:01Speaker 2: you know, doesn't really lose value over time unless, of course,
- 6:04Speaker 2: you just mistreat it.
- 6:05Speaker 5: Because you got it refurbished, right?
- 6:07Speaker 2: Well, I bought it with the intention of refurbishing it.
- 6:10Speaker 2: And I did so. And I put, you know, a
- 6:13Speaker 2: new this on it, got a new that for it,
- 6:16Speaker 2: and then gifted it to her.
- 6:17Speaker 3: And she was like, wow.
- 6:19Speaker 2: She said, quote, This is not something that I would
- 6:24Speaker 2: have gotten for myself. And I appreciate what you did
- 6:27Speaker 2: for me with this. So I think I did OK.
- 6:30Speaker 5: I was really, really impressed with the effort you put
- 6:32Speaker 5: into getting her that gift. But the really the question remains, Toby,
- 6:36Speaker 5: she has since traveled.
- 6:37Speaker 3: She's on the road right now.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Did she or is she using said bag?
- 6:42Speaker 2: She says she is. I have not seen photographic proof,
- 6:45Speaker 2: but I believe it.
- 6:46Speaker 5: Oh, good.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I don't think she would.
- 6:48Speaker 2: I don't think she would say to me, I'm using
- 6:50Speaker 2: your bag if she wasn't. But, you know, I'm the podster.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I would have stirred the pod.
- 6:55Speaker 5: That's awesome.
- 6:56Speaker 2: But I believe that that bag is in Norfolk right
- 6:59Speaker 2: now while she is on a work trip. And then
- 7:01Speaker 2: wherever her next work trip will be in the month
- 7:03Speaker 2: of September.
- 7:05Speaker 3: God, we're already there.
- 7:06Speaker 5: I think that's awesome. I love that she's using the gift,
- 7:09Speaker 5: and I know that you must feel good about that, too,
- 7:11Speaker 5: because you did put in so much effort.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Well, yeah, trying to find the things that it needed
- 7:16Speaker 2: and then having to go through the rigmarole of lining
- 7:19Speaker 2: them up and then making sure that the bag was
- 7:22Speaker 2: perfect and it checked all the certain boxes.
- 7:24Speaker 5: Well, now you've set the bar, so good luck with Christmas.
- 7:28Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 7:29Speaker 3: It'll all be very vintage, I'm sure.
- 7:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:32Speaker 2: 97.1 Wash FM. We're Toby and Chili in the morning.

- 7:39Speaker 5: If you suffer from health care anxiety, you're definitely not alone.
- 7:44Speaker 5: I'll be sharing the results of a recent survey in
- 7:46Speaker 5: just a few.

- 8:26Speaker 1: top of the hour.
- 8:26Speaker 5: The cause of death has been revealed for country music

- 8:44Speaker 5: Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at the age
- 8:47Speaker 5: of 80 after a brief battle with cancer. She earned
- 8:50Speaker 5: 11 Grammys and sold over 100 million records across a
- 8:54Speaker 5: six-decade career, alongside acting and a lot of philanthropy. The
- 8:59Speaker 5: president yesterday ordered flags lowered to half-staff. Meanwhile, Dolly was
- 9:05Speaker 5: reportedly working on plans for a digital performing avatar. Two
- 9:10Speaker 5: people have died from measles in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Both
- 9:13Speaker 5: individuals were unvaccinated, and officials say these are the first
- 9:17Speaker 5: measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania in 35 years. The University of
- 9:22Speaker 5: Maryland could see up to a 30 percent drop in
- 9:25Speaker 5: new graduate students this fall after the president proposed capping
- 9:29Speaker 5: international student visas at just four years. Both College Park
- 9:33Speaker 5: and UMB are now part of a lawsuit challenging the policy.
- 9:38Speaker 5: A critical rail junction just south of Union Station is
- 9:41Speaker 5: going to be shutting down October 16th through the 26th
- 9:44Speaker 5: for a full replacement, cutting off Virginia DC train service.
- 9:49Speaker 5: So VRE riders will not be able to reach Union
- 9:51Speaker 5: Station and some Amtrak trains will terminate in Alexandria, but
- 9:56Speaker 5: they will have bus service and metro transfers to fill
- 9:59Speaker 5: the gap.
- 10:00Speaker 4: D.C.
- 10:01Speaker 5: 's Transportation Department has launched a pilot testing solar reflective
- 10:05Speaker 5: cool pavement coatings at five urban heat island sites. Officials
- 10:11Speaker 5: say that similar coatings have actually cooled other city streets
- 10:14Speaker 5: by as much as 20 degrees. And finally, a new
- 10:17Speaker 5: survey finds that 43% of Americans report rising health care
- 10:21Speaker 5: anxiety driven mainly by cost. 54% cite affordability as their
- 10:27Speaker 5: biggest worry. And despite that, 84% say they still trust
- 10:31Speaker 5: their own doctors. Forecasts today will have partly cloudy skies
- 10:34Speaker 5: with highs around 86. Right now, 64 in Waldorf.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Remember, you get Toby and Chili's top stories at the
- 10:40Speaker 2: top of the hour here at 97.1 Wash FM. The
- 10:43Speaker 2: world said goodbye to Dolly Parton yesterday afternoon. And as such,

- 10:54Speaker 2: so many others.
- 10:57Speaker 3: 866-927-4361.
- 10:58Speaker 2: If you've been thinking about Dolly Parton this morning or
- 11:00Speaker 2: perhaps maybe yesterday and you want to share with the
- 11:03Speaker 2: class what's on your mind, we are listening. Give us
- 11:06Speaker 2: a call now and, well, as Dolly would say, we'll

- 11:13Speaker 2: 97.1 Wash FM, Toby and Chili in the morning, saying
- 11:21Speaker 2: goodbye and remembering Dolly Parton this morning. If you did
- 11:24Speaker 2: not get the news, you must not have been paying
- 11:27Speaker 2: too much attention yesterday, right around 2.30 when the world
- 11:31Speaker 2: found out that Dolly Parton was no longer with us.
- 11:34Speaker 2: She had checked herself into a hospital in Nashville, and
- 11:37Speaker 2: that's where ultimately she said goodbye.
- 11:40Speaker 5: Yeah, she reportedly died from cancer. And about a year ago,
- 11:44Speaker 5: March of last year, her husband, Carl, passed away. And
- 11:47Speaker 5: she admitted in an interview recently that she kind of
- 11:49Speaker 5: neglected her own health after Carl's passing. So at the
- 11:53Speaker 5: very least, she is reunited with her beloved.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Boy, heaven got a great new voice for the choir yesterday. 866-927-4361.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Let's talk about Dolly Parton this morning. You've got thoughts,
- 12:06Speaker 2: you've got memories, things on your mind.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Go right ahead. We'll start with you, Stacey, in Landover.
- 12:11Speaker 7: The passing of Dolly Parton is so, so, so sad.
- 12:15Speaker 7: I loved it when she started the book campaign for
- 12:19Speaker 7: kids that needed books, libraries, for music. and some of
- 12:25Speaker 7: her nine to five i loved that you know.
- 12:28Speaker 5: You mentioned her philanthropy imagination library she actually donated or
- 12:33Speaker 5: worked with a dc public library system to help like
- 12:36Speaker 5: a hundred thousand kids locally.
- 12:38Speaker 7: She is an icon just like tina turner i mean
- 12:42Speaker 7: an icon just it's.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Unbelievable thank you ma'am and miranda thank you for listening
- 12:48Speaker 2: this morning in alexandria go.
- 12:49Speaker 8: Ahead I am saddened by it. When Kenny Rogers died, though,
- 12:53Speaker 8: I cried because Dolly Parton and Kenny were best friends. So,
- 12:57Speaker 8: I suppose she's in heaven with Kenny now.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's the first thing I thought of was my grandmother
- 13:02Speaker 2: and how she loved that song, Islands in the Stream.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Oh, it's a classic.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton together. Go and find it
- 13:10Speaker 3: on our iHeartRadio app. You can listen to it on demand.
- 13:12Speaker 8: My favorite was probably her movie.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Which one?
- 13:15Speaker 5: Yeah, Rhinestone with Sylvester Stallone.
- 13:17Speaker 3: You know that movie.
- 13:18Speaker 8: The Code of Many Colors, I think, was like so
- 13:21Speaker 8: inspirational and it was all about her life. I made
- 13:25Speaker 8: both of my kids watch it at the time and
- 13:27Speaker 8: we all cried together.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Thank you so much for that.
- 13:29Speaker 2: You know, there are probably less than a handful of
- 13:32Speaker 2: people who have caused the world to pause at the
- 13:36Speaker 2: news of their passing.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Dolly Parton being one of them.
- 13:39Speaker 2: If you have some things on your mind, some stuff
- 13:42Speaker 2: you'd like to share, some Dolly Parton moments that popped
- 13:45Speaker 2: into your head when you got the news, 866-927-4361. Give
- 13:49Speaker 2: us a call and we.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Will talk again in just a few.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Jump into this conversation as we remember Dolly Parton at
- 13:59Speaker 2: 866-927-4361 or when you tap the talkback microphone. If you're
- 14:02Speaker 2: listening to us on your iHeart app right now, it's
- 14:05Speaker 2: 97.1 Wash FM with Toby and Chili in the morning.
- 14:07Speaker 5: And just to catch you up, we're learning today that
- 14:10Speaker 5: she passed away at the age of 80 after a
- 14:13Speaker 5: brief battle with cancer.
- 14:15Speaker 2: It says a lot that the world has been kind
- 14:18Speaker 2: of in wall to wall coverage on Dolly Parton's passing
- 14:21Speaker 2: since yesterday afternoon at about 230. It's a testament to
- 14:25Speaker 2: the woman that she was, not just for her music
- 14:28Speaker 2: or for what she did on the big screen, but
- 14:30Speaker 2: for the way she lived her life. You know, there
- 14:32Speaker 2: are some people who talk about, you know, trying to
- 14:34Speaker 2: live a good life. They get the success and you
- 14:38Speaker 2: never really hear about the things that they've done.
- 14:41Speaker 3: And Dolly never pounded her chest.
- 14:43Speaker 4: No.
- 14:43Speaker 2: But other people around her certainly talked about all of
- 14:46Speaker 2: the good that she did for so many people around
- 14:48Speaker 2: the world.
- 14:49Speaker 5: I mean, she's known for her philanthropy, but she's also
- 14:51Speaker 5: known for not being a divisive person. I mean, she
- 14:54Speaker 5: loved all people and she stayed out of all things
- 14:58Speaker 5: that could cause any kind of controversy. And that's quite
- 15:02Speaker 5: a way to live your life.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 15:04Speaker 2: It is 97.1 Wash FM. Stacey, good morning and thank
- 15:07Speaker 2: you for listening in Bethesda.
- 15:09Speaker 4: Yeah, she was just such a sweet soul. It's so sad.
- 15:12Speaker 4: I feel like we're losing a national treasure.
- 15:15Speaker 5: What was the most impressive thing about Dolly to you?
- 15:18Speaker 4: I loved how she... She was always doing charity work,
- 15:21Speaker 4: and she just really gave back to the community and
- 15:25Speaker 4: her presence. She's just so sweet, and anyone that knows her,
- 15:31Speaker 4: she's a really good-hearted human being.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Thank you, Stacey.
- 15:35Speaker 2: You know, I was really moved by the way Dolly
- 15:38Speaker 2: quietly penned notes to people. She was just in every
- 15:42Speaker 2: sense of the word good. Mary in Fairfax, Dolly Parton.
- 15:47Speaker 4: I absolutely love Dolly Parton.
- 15:49Speaker 5: So many good movies.
- 15:50Speaker 8: My heart is breaking. She was a phenomenal person.
- 15:53Speaker 4: She will truly be missed.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Very true.
- 15:55Speaker 2: And thank you for the call and for letting us
- 15:57Speaker 2: know what's on your mind when it comes to Dolly

- 16:02Speaker 5: show in Manassas. What are your thoughts?

- 17:12Speaker 5: of 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Her family
- 17:14Speaker 5: says that she passed away peacefully at Nashville's Vanderbilt Ingram
- 17:18Speaker 5: Cancer Center, surrounded by loved ones. Not only did she
- 17:21Speaker 5: win 11 Grammys and sell over 100 million records worldwide,
- 17:26Speaker 5: but she was also known for her philanthropy. Meanwhile, the
- 17:29Speaker 5: president has ordered flags at half-staff. A California man is
- 17:34Speaker 5: facing charges after allegedly parking a truck that was carrying
- 17:37Speaker 5: a guillotine near the U.S. Capitol yesterday. Police arrested the
- 17:42Speaker 5: 35-year-old for carrying a dangerous weapon. The administration has warned
- 17:47Speaker 5: in a court filing that it could demolish the Kennedy
- 17:50Speaker 5: Center if renovation plans are blocked, saying that the building
- 17:53Speaker 5: risks becoming unsafe without them. And an outdoor amphitheater along
- 17:58Speaker 5: the Potomac River has now been floated as a replacement.
- 18:02Speaker 5: A Montgomery County school bus driver has died after a
- 18:05Speaker 5: crash in Gaithersburg yesterday. Police say the bus veered off
- 18:08Speaker 5: the road and hit a utility pole after the driver

- 18:29Speaker 5: AI-generated photo of an intruder on their couch, which then
- 18:34Speaker 5: prompted eight police cruisers to respond. And minivans are making
- 18:39Speaker 5: a comeback.
- 18:40Speaker 1: U.S.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Sales jumped 21% last year as families ditch expensive SUVs
- 18:44Speaker 5: for lower cost and roomier space. So a large SUV
- 18:49Speaker 5: costs around $ 67, 000, while minivans start around $ 40, 000. Forecast today,
- 18:55Speaker 5: partly cloudy skies. Highs around 86. Right now, 66 in Burtonsville.

- 20:10Speaker 4: I'm going to say take off of work.
- 20:11Speaker 5: Ooh, great, great answer, but not the right one we're
- 20:16Speaker 5: looking for.
- 20:17Speaker 3: But thank you for playing and you've given us a

- 20:35Speaker 8: Trim their nails.
- 20:36Speaker 7: Okay.
- 20:37Speaker 5: I try to trim my pet's nail at least once
- 20:39Speaker 5: a month, Mary, but no, that's not the answer either.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Sorry about that.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Oh, thanks anyway.

- 21:03Speaker 5: Do they cook for their pet? Cook for their pet
- 21:05Speaker 5: once a month. Is that something you have done, Michael?
- 21:08Speaker 5: A little leftovers.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Whatever we can't eat. Right.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It's heated up. The dog will never know the difference.
- 21:15Speaker 5: Oh, the dog will appreciate it. 23% of people do
- 21:19Speaker 5: this for their pets once a month. And Michael, it
- 21:22Speaker 5: is indeed cook for their pet. So congrats to you.

- 21:47Speaker 5: We've got a list of things that people who are
- 21:50Speaker 5: way too frugal do this would be a chance for
- 21:54Speaker 5: you to out yourself if you want to join the
- 21:56Speaker 5: conversation at 866-927-4361.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Are you too frugal as a person? 97.1 Wash FM.
- 22:06Speaker 2: The number is 866-927-4361. If you are, what are you
- 22:12Speaker 2: guilty of when it comes to your frugality? Let us discuss.
- 22:16Speaker 2: There's an entire list floating around the internet. 27 different
- 22:21Speaker 2: things that say you might be super frugal.
- 22:23Speaker 5: I'm going to share a couple of these. They say
- 22:25Speaker 5: you ration your lightbulbs. You'd rather go dark rather than
- 22:28Speaker 5: replace a burnt out bulb. You use your teabag multiple times.
- 22:35Speaker 5: And here's another one. You hoard side dishes into full
- 22:39Speaker 5: meals so you can turn like free coleslaw or a
- 22:42Speaker 5: cookie into your next entire meal. Those are just some examples.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Well, those are indeed some very frugal things.
- 22:49Speaker 5: Can you see something on this list that you might
- 22:52Speaker 5: do differently? That might be considered frugal.
- 22:54Speaker 3: I see something my dad does.
- 22:56Speaker 5: What's that?
- 22:56Speaker 2: My dad stocks up on gas station creamers, sugar packets,
- 23:01Speaker 2: and condiments.
- 23:03Speaker 6: And does he use them, though? Because some people.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Will save those things. Oh, no, he will use them.
- 23:07Speaker 3: He does.
- 23:08Speaker 2: There's a whole drawer at my family's house full of condiments.
- 23:12Speaker 5: That he actually uses.
- 23:13Speaker 3: That he uses.
- 23:14Speaker 2: He goes to Whataburger, picks up some condiments. Then if
- 23:18Speaker 2: he goes to get himself some coffee at a place
- 23:20Speaker 2: they call Stripes, which is like 7-Eleven, he goes and
- 23:24Speaker 2: gets himself some creams and some Splendas.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Well, there's never any shortage of them.
- 23:29Speaker 5: We're going to throw parents under the bus. I'll tell
- 23:31Speaker 5: you what my mom used to do. God rest her soul, Mama.
- 23:34Speaker 5: She used to rinse and reuse Ziploc bags.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Well, there's that.
- 23:39Speaker 4: Okay.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and.
- 23:43Speaker 5: I would always buster chops for it. But the only
- 23:46Speaker 5: thing I come close to doing is reusing like the
- 23:49Speaker 5: plastic grocery bags. I save those and then I'll use
- 23:52Speaker 5: them as trash bags or something. But you know what
- 23:54Speaker 5: I mean? Like, I don't just throw them out. So
- 23:55Speaker 5: there's that.
- 23:56Speaker 3: What is a sign that you are?
- 23:59Speaker 2: Way too frugal 866-927-4361 is the number talkback's wide open

- 27:46Speaker 9: Oh, I am absolutely guilty of this one. I will
- 27:49Speaker 9: buy something, shove it in a closet, and then three
- 27:51Speaker 9: months later, act like I just discovered a new possession.
- 27:54Speaker 5: Does anyone give you a hard time for it?
- 27:56Speaker 9: My husband will be like, you already had that. And
- 27:59Speaker 9: I'm like, OK, but I forgot I had it.
- 28:01Speaker 3: So technically, it's new.
- 28:03Speaker 2: I don't know if that's frugality, Mary, or if that's
- 28:06Speaker 2: just making a really good excuse.
- 28:08Speaker 5: No, it's forgetfulness.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Thank you, Mary.
