Toby and Chili Mornings on Demand on ninety seven point

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Ninety seven point one WASHEFM. It's Toby and Chili in
the Morning. Good morning, and welcome to Monday. It's Chili
Omar here, and thank you so much for starting your
day with us. I hope you had a great weekend.
We celebrated my husband's birthday on Saturday, and one of
his wishes was to get a crock pot meal. Something
about this time of year, as the weather cools that
(00:27):
he starts to crave crock pot dinners. And by the way,
that's pretty common. I was reading an article that said
that cold weather triggers our hormonal changes that increase cravings
for these high calorie comfort foods, and in order to
I guess, curb your appetite, the article said that we
should just add spices, start our meals with fiber, eat
(00:50):
more protein rich breakfasts so that we don't go crazy
the rest of the day eating too much comfort food.
If you've got the crock pot out, think of me
as you said it, and forget it. We've got a
great show planned for you today. A big announcement coming
up right around eight twenty this morning. Okay, that's the
big news of the day. Make sure you come back
(01:11):
and listen eight twenty because it is a holiday related
announcement that is going to answer the number one question
we've been getting since holloween you. So make sure you're
here and we're going to tell you what's going on
in all the news headlines with Toby and Chili's Top
stories as we continue on ninety seven point one wash fl.

Top Stories Top of the Hour.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The President is now urging House Republicans to vote to
release the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying that there is nothing
to hide. The House will vote as soon as tomorrow,
and while it is expected to pass, the future in
the Senate is unclear. The FAA will lift flight restrictions
starting today after a week of reduced operations at forty
(02:02):
major airports, including all three in the DC area. The
agency says that normal service can resume after a review
of safety trends and a drop in staffing related issues
among air traffic controllers. A US Navy carrier strike Group
is now in the Caribbean as tensions rise in that region.
It has joined other US forces there as part of
(02:23):
the Administration's pushed to disrupt drug trafficking and also target
transnational criminal groups. DC Police added two special curfew zones
in Navy Yard and along U Street over the weekend
to curb large youth gatherings. In these areas, anyone under
eighteen must follow an earlier curfew from eight pm to
(02:46):
eleven pm instead of the usual eleven pm citywide start.
In case you missed it, the Commanders fell to the
Miami Dolphins in Madrid sixteen to thirteen. In overtime, they've
got to buy a week before they host Denver on
November thirtieth. And according to a recent survey, forty two
percent of Americans plan to skip Cyber Monday, and more
(03:06):
than half will avoid in store Black Friday shopping. Despite
rising concerns over scams, bots, and stolen payment information, most
shoppers will still go to great lengths to find the
perfect holiday gifts. Forecast for today, we'll have partly cloudy skies,
highs around fifty right now forty and only coming up next,
(03:27):
We're going to try to get you into a good
morning mindset with a quote as Toby and Chilly in
the Morning continues on ninety seven point one wash FM.
Good morning, It's Toby and Chile in the Morning on
ninety seven point one wash FM. I'm Chilli Amar and
as we do around this time, every morning, we share
a quote to get you into a better headspace, and
(03:49):
today I chose a quote by Alice and Alice in
Wonderland when she said, it's no use going back to
yesterday because I was a different person than. This is
a great reminder that we are constantly changing and who
we were in the past is not the same as
who we are now. It's like saying, there's really no
(04:09):
point in dwelling on old mistakes, regrets or experiences because
you've grown since then. Every single day we learn, we
make new choices, and we see the world a little differently.
So trying to fix yesterday it's not going to work. Instead,
it's better for all of us to focus on who
you are today and what you can do with that
(04:31):
knowledge and perspective that you've gained. So again and Alice
in Wonderland said, it's no use going back to yesterday
because I was a different person then. And you can
always find that quote on the Toby and Chili page
at washfm dot com. And we also share it on
our Instagram. Just search for WASHFM. Coming up next, what's
(04:53):
something you see every day that brings a smile to
your face. A recent survey revealed that random acts of
kindness top that list, followed by a baby smile eight
six six nine two seven four three six one. That's
eight six six wash FM one. You can also tap
the talkback microphone on your iHeartRadio app to share what
(05:13):
brings a smile to your face and we'll get to
your calls in just a few minutes. As Toby and
Chilly in the Morning continues on ninety seven point one
wash FM, What's something you see every day that brings
a smile to your face? Eight six six nine two
seven four three six one. You can also join the
conversation by hitting the talkback microphone on your iHeartRadio app.
(05:37):
It's Toby and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven
point one wash FM. I'm Chilli Omar And according to
a recent survey, thirty nine percent of people said they
smile most when they see random acts of kindness. Now,
some other things that made the list baby smiling, starry
night skies also there, and older couples holding hands. Oh
(06:02):
my god, that totally brings a smile to my face.
And then I try to imagine how they met, how
long they've been together, and I'll turn to my husband
and say, I hope that's us one day. So what
is it for you? What did you see that brought
a smile to your face? Tanya? Thanks for being a
part of the show in Oxen Hill. You said it
(06:23):
was a random act of kindness.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I went on a guy at a guest they can
quietly pay for a woman's full tank after her card
kept getting declined, and he didn't say much. He just
smiled and told her to have a better day. She
looked like she was about to cry, and honestly so
was I.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh, I don't blame you. I would have cried too.
Thanks so much for calling and sharing that, Tanya. You know,
anytime you see somebody being kind to somebody else, it
really does restore our faith in humanity. Jamie in Reston,
what would you like to share as something that brings
a smile to your face? My dad made me smile.
He's just a ball of and of love, and you
(07:01):
know what, he's starting to get along more with my
cat and that just makes me so happy. Jamie, I
would have to say, that's my number one answer to
the way my dog reacts every time I come home
from work. The tail wagging and then she does the
spinny thing, and then she just looks up like, love me, Mama,
love me. I think anybody who has a pet like that.
(07:22):
Come on, now, you must not have a heart if
that doesn't bring a smile to your face. Thanks so
much for your calls, and we'll continue this conversation in
just a little bit. But coming up next, we're gonna
get you updated on all the news headlines with Toby

Speaker 2 (08:22):
The President now says House Republicans should vote to release
the Epstein files. He took to truth Social last night,
saying there is nothing to hide. The House is expected
to vote as early as tomorrow on the measure. Today,
the FAA is lifting its flight reduction order at airports
across the country. A reduction in flight to forty major
(08:43):
airports began about a week ago to help address fatigue
and staffing issues among air traffic controllers during the record
long government shutdown. A US Navy carrier strike group has
moved into the Caribbean. It's part of the administration's push
to curb drug trafficking and also target transnational criminal networks.
(09:03):
The Navy says the advanced carrier arrived last week on
orders from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A man has died
after being arrested at the Anacostia Metro Station in Southeast DC.
He was taken into custody for an outstanding assault warrant,
became unresponsive shortly after and then died at a nearby hospital.
(09:24):
DC Police's Internal Affairs is investigating. The Smithsonian National Zoo
is open again after it was closed for more than
a month during the shutdown. Visitors returned on Saturday, many
of them eager to see the giant pandas the Smithsonian
museums have also reopened. According to new research, Americans are
(09:46):
expected to spend nearly one thousand dollars this Thanksgiving. The
average person will shell out one hundred and seventy five
dollars for food, one hundred dollars for drinks, eighty three
dollars for decorations, two hundred ninety one dollars for missile
maus items, and about two hundred and ninety three dollars
for travel. That comes up to about nine hundred and
fifty two for the holiday. Forecast for today partly cloudy skies,
(10:10):

in the show, I'd share the results of a survey

on ninety seven point one wash FM. I'm Chilli Omar
and we were taking your calls earlier and the number
one answer, by the way, was random of Kindness, Baby Smiling,
and also Starry Nights was on the list. Now. Interestingly enough,
being rushed every single day prevents twenty four percent of
(11:12):
people from noticing happy moments, which is a great reminder
for us to slow down and take it all in. Alisa,
thanks so much for joining the conversation in Oakton. What
is something that brings a smile to your face?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
We've got this squirrel that comes to visit us, probably
because we leave them all of these nuts, and I know,
you know we're not gonna pet him ever, but it's
really nice seeing his little furry face.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Alissa, thanks so much for the call. I wish I
could share your joy of squirrels. My experience is a
little bit different. I used to leave snacks out for
the delivery drivers as a thank you, and no matter
what kind of container I would put the snacks in,
those squirrels always figured out a way to get in
and steal the food, and that cuteness wore off real quick.
