  Speaker 1: I need to tell you two things.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Cubby and Christine's.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Two pretty cool things.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I have a reason for you to skip the elevator, Christine.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: An analysis involving more than 480,000 people found that people
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: who regularly climb stairs had a 39% lower risk of
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: dying from heart disease and a 24% lower risk of
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: dying from any cause compared with people who didn't climb stairs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Stair climbers, yes.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Are you saying every morning we're going up the stairs?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. I think it's good for us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Stair climbers were also less likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: or heart failure. One of the studies suggested about six
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: flights of stairs a day that works out to roughly
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: 60 to 90 stair steps a day may provide the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: biggest benefit, but even smaller amounts appear to help. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the findings don't prove that stairs alone are responsible for
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a longer life, but climbing them is an easy, free
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: way to sneak some cardio and strength exercise into your day,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: no gym required.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And we just got a new routine walking into work
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that requires stairs or an elevator.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking stairs. Okay. We'll be on Light FM till
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: we're 120.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's okay. Yes.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I know the study says you're not necessarily going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: live that long, but it can't hurt, right?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I climb a lot of stairs at home too, so yeah, 150. Yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: All right. What do you have as a cool thing?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: There are so many beautiful tributes coming in for Dolly
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Parton Cubby because so many of her friends are very
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: upset by the news of losing her. The buildings in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the state were lit up in pink last night.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Across the state.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I heard about that. Yeah. But AMC Theaters is hosting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a special memorial film retrospective featuring Steel Magnolias and The
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And they're doing that this weekend. Today,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: August 28th through September 2nd. They're going to run some
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: matinees of both showings. And I'm looking. It's in our area.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's in the tri-state area. So if you want to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: see Dolly as an actress and she also sings, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I Will Always Love You is featured in the film.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I love the movies you mentioned. What was that second
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: one again?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Best Little Whorehouse?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: In Texas.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: That was a good one.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That's where she sings I Will Always Love You.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then, of course, Whitney redid it in the 90s.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: But Dolly was the OG on that song.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, that was her song.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Light FM. Right.
