a different meaning. The main character it's about a loss

I start watching that movie and I get emotional.

try for a Hallmark movie before he decides they all suck.

first hand knowledge on this. Spotify is rapped. It's their
year in thing that recaps music and what their listeners
(06:52):
have been listening to, and this year there's something new,
a new twist on things.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
They spit out your listening age based on the type
of songs that you've been listening to the past year. Now,
I don't listen to anything on Spotify, so there was
no listening age for me.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And I didn't listen enough in the year. That was
because you just didn't. Okay, hard app and sure these things.
So go ahead. Now, are you comfortable telling us your
actual age? Fifty three? Great?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
What did Spotify say your listening age was eighty two?

the day in your playlist, they're assuming that you're in
your eighties. Oh, you don't understand. Why what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It's more than that. It's Duke Ellington, it's Glenn Miller,
a lot of big bands from the fortiesh.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I didn't know this about you. That's fair. When are
you listening to this?
Speaker 7 (08:07):

out that age, what was the first thing you said? Oh,
there was the shock.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Awesome, Well, thank you. Congratulations from ninety seven point one
wash FM or Toby and Chilly in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Coming up next, we're going to talk about how you
are probably hanging or have hung the lights on your
Christmas tree incorrectly.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And you might want to fix that after you hear
what we have to tell you. Stay there for that
conversation coming up. Chances are good you're doing it wrong.
Toby and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven point
one wash FM. That's right, not to pour cold water
on your joy this holiday season, but you're probably putting
those lights on your Christmas tree incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, instead of going around in circles like a lot
of people do when they're hanging their lights on the
Christmas tree, you're supposed to hang them vertically, so you
go up and down, up and down. And there are
advantages to doing it that way, like what number one,
your wires don't get as tangled, okay, and number two,
your tree is better lit because you can get like
(23:11):
in between the branches as you're going up and down. Now,
before we bought our pre lit tree, which is perfectly lit,
I had started doing this hack. So it was like
four years ago when I first started doing it, and
it seems a little odd at first, but the result
is really nice.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, it just seems like too much work for me
to have to try to put lights on a tree.
That's why I too, have one of those pre lit
Christmas trees, because the lights are perfect in the fiber
optics at the ends of the branches and whatnot. Just
they cast a wonderful glow when I actually put the
tree up.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
But when you used to do it the old fashioned way,
were you going in circles around or were you Oh yeah,
because you probably.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Never did the it was around and round and round
and round of God. As much as I'm sure it's beautiful,
I just know i'd screw that whole vertical thing up.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, it would probably weigh the tree down if you
do it the wrong way. And also if you were
to put lights, I'm team white light over any colored lights,
although our pre lit tree has many different options and modes.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I hear you on that. I two am team white light,
and I'm even team white Christmas tree as it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh come, oh, yes.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
I just like that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's different. All right. You and my significant other have
been talking again because she's all things Christmas green. And
if she's a real tree, yes, I think she has
something like thirty trees. That's a lot of lights to
be hanging vertically. Hey, if you want to read more
about this Christmas pro tip, we got you covered Toby

a new twist on things.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
They spit out your listening age based on the type
of songs that you've been listening to the past year. Now,
I don't listen to anything on Spotify, so there was
no listening age for me.

because you just didn't. Okay, hard app and sure these things.

a lot of big bands from the fortiesh.

you listening to this?

Barbara is playing for these tickets. Good morning, Barbara, how
are you?
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Good morning? I'm doing well.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Thank you for asking, Thank you for listening to Toby
and Chilly in the morning here on ninety seven point
one watch FM. You get the question, what is your.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Guests their plants?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Plants make you more productive at work?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Are you somebody that has plants anywhere near your workspace? Barbara?
Is that just a guess because it adds to the
whole zen or whatever.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
I am retired, but I do have plants in my
house and I do talk to them. In fact, my
Christmas cactus is blooming right now and I tell it
how pretty it looks.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Oh, Barbara, did you know that Chili and I, because
we killed succulents, we had to ban any kind of
plants in the office, and we'd like to apologize to
our colleagues for that.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Well, there's so many artificial plants that look real, so
put a few artificial plants.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
In there, Barbara. We could probably kill those somehow too.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
You know what, having plants in the office is the
right answer makes you fifteen percent more productive. Congratulations to
you and your plant.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You're going to take that fern to see the Trans
Siberian Orchestra a Capital one Arena on the thirtieth. Thank you,
Live Nation, enjoy the show all.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Right, thanks so much, and having nice Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You too, And now you have something to talk to
your plants about this morning over coffee.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yes, I'll put my tso CD on for them to
listen to.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Awesome, Well, thank you. Congratulations from ninety seven point one
wash FM or Toby and Chilly in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Coming up next, we're going to talk about how you
are probably hanging or have hung the lights on your
Christmas tree incorrectly.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And you might want to fix that after you hear
what we have to tell you. Stay there for that
conversation coming up. Chances are good you're doing it wrong.
Toby and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven point
one wash FM. That's right, not to pour cold water
on your joy this holiday season, but you're probably putting
those lights on your Christmas tree incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, instead of going around in circles like a lot
of people do when they're hanging their lights on the
Christmas tree, you're supposed to hang them vertically, so you
go up and down, up and down. And there are
advantages to doing it that way, like what number one,
your wires don't get as tangled, okay, and number two,
your tree is better lit because you can get like
(23:11):
in between the branches as you're going up and down. Now,
before we bought our pre lit tree, which is perfectly lit,
I had started doing this hack. So it was like
four years ago when I first started doing it, and
it seems a little odd at first, but the result
is really nice.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, it just seems like too much work for me
to have to try to put lights on a tree.
That's why I too, have one of those pre lit
Christmas trees, because the lights are perfect in the fiber
optics at the ends of the branches and whatnot. Just
they cast a wonderful glow when I actually put the
tree up.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
But when you used to do it the old fashioned way,
were you going in circles around or were you Oh yeah,
because you probably.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Never did the it was around and round and round
and round of God. As much as I'm sure it's beautiful,
I just know i'd screw that whole vertical thing up.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, it would probably weigh the tree down if you
do it the wrong way. And also if you were
to put lights, I'm team white light over any colored lights,
although our pre lit tree has many different options and modes.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I hear you on that. I two am team white light,
and I'm even team white Christmas tree as it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh come, oh, yes.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
I just like that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's different. All right. You and my significant other have
been talking again because she's all things Christmas green. And
if she's a real tree, yes, I think she has
something like thirty trees. That's a lot of lights to
be hanging vertically. Hey, if you want to read more
about this Christmas pro tip, we got you covered Toby
