thirteenth before I went to bedline.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:41):

the back of my head, and now we've put it
in the back of your head.
Speaker 1 (00:47):

Here, like, why are you feeling good right now?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm feeling good because it is Friday, because we have
made it through the week, because it was a busy week,
and when you know, you have a chance to exhale. Yes,
at least to me mentally, that is a good thing.
So I'm in a good mental space as we get
into this Friday. But much like you, I am worried
about any shoes which might drop. Yeah, you know, and
(01:37):
there's always a shoe that could drop. But anyway, we'll
worry about that if it happens, right, because that's what
we do.

Up Tony and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven
point one Wash FM. Good morning, Let's talk about the
plans that you've got for your kids. This summer's summer
is here for so many people, and I know that
if you don't have plans, it can be rough. But
if you do have plans, you're probably really looking forward
to the peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, not only that, but you don't want your kids
on devices for hours and hours a day. So sending
them to camp at least guarantees a few hours of
the day they're doing something else.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So what are you gonna do with your son. He's
in a.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
County camp, so it'll be like nine to four pm,
nine am to four pm all day.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, when it comes to camp, I'm thankful, Chili. Do
you know why I don't have to worry about it anymore? No,
you've got a whole adult now. Yeah, she's twenty one
and still hanging out at home. That's right, and she's
on her screens. Maybe she does need a camp or
a job. Okay, William, thank you for listening to us
this morning in Rockville. Eight sixty six, nine two, seven
forty three sixty one, by the way, is the number
(06:35):
which got planned for the kids this summer.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Slummer camp is the best thing that ever happened. It's
a month of freedom. Don't get me wrong. I love
my kids, but it's nice to have a break from
all the constant fickering and yelling at this endless nonsense.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That sounds more like a sleep away camp when they're
out of sight.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Thank you for the call, William. Rebecca, Good morning in Alexandria.
What do you have planned for the kids this summer?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I got adventure Mondays lined up aka me desperately googling
free stuff nearby. There'll be cereal for dinner nights, the doom,
the tent at gardening that somehow becomes a mud war,
and one chaotic camping trip where I forget the tent
poles but swear it's part of the memory.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Making sounds chaotic, but they are core memories.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yep, Rebecca, good Luck, Toby and Chilly. In the morning
at ninety seven point one, watch FM to have the

showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, highs around ninety Right now

has unlocked something new, only it's not a good thing.

(10:03):
ninety seven point one wash FM. If it brings you
all the fields, it must be our feel good Friday
story for this morning and today we go over to
Herndon High School. At the start of his senior year
at Herndon High James Clouda couldn't even walk. During a
hiking trip in Utah, James accidentally fell into boiling mud
(10:26):
and he was burned badly over half of his body
and he spent two months in the hospital, went through
multiple surgeries, and then faced the reality of relearning.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
How to walk.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Even one single step left him exhausted and discouraged.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And what's great is James just refused to give up.
With months of intense physical therapy and determination, he slowly
regained his strength, and by the time the auditions came
around for the school's production of Footloose, James not only
was able to walk, but he said he was ready
to dance, and he ended up getting the lead role
Ofren McCormick, shocking the director and his peers. He had
(11:06):
an incredible performance, and the director called his audition amazing
and praised James for turning such a challenging journey into
such a beautiful triumph.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Opening night was so emotional for everybody involved, especially for
James and his dad, who called it a miracle to
see his son on stage. Now, James has gone on
to graduate with an advanced diploma and now is planning
to spend this summer helping others as a counselor at
a Utah burn camp. Wow, hoping to offer kids hope
(11:36):
to overcome struggles like he did.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Wow. That's an incredible story, which is why we shared
it on this Friday, and you can read more about
it on the Toby and Chili page at waschefm dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And if you've got a story that feels good that
needs to be shared on a Friday just like this one,
feel free.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
To let us know. We would love to hear it.

you still go back to even today because it was
so profound. Chilli, I understand your father gave you some advice.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I don't know how profound it is, but he basically
was like, don't ever spend beyond your means, and it's
coming handy all this time.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yes, absolutely, my father just recently told me He was like,
you were a catcher because he loves baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You were a catcher.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You can do anything because he knows I've been struggling with,
you know, some weight that I gained as a result
of being sick and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
So he was just kind of being motivating.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Nice.

got from dad. Will start with John, Good morning in Alexandria. John,
what advice did your dad have to give?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Never give up an your dreams. Always pressure there and
don't let anyone kill your dreams because they didn't fulfill it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's right, John, They're just projecting onto you. Just because
they failed doesn't mean you will.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Don't you listen to them, fools. You listen to your father.
Dad knows best. Just to ask Glory, who's listening this
morning in Silver Spring.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
The best advice my dad ever gave me is definitely
to take care of my car and dance before it breaks,
because then you'll have to pay more to fix it later.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Saves me a lot of money. Oh, Laurie, that's great
advice from your dad. Sounds like Toby needs to take
that advice too.

want to get out of bed because that's stressing you out. Well,
maybe we can help your morning mindset is on the

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And in honor of this Best of the Eighties weekend
it starts later on today with Sabrina Conti and in
honor of Chili Amr who's going on vacation, who personally

way out, there's no shortcut home. Oh yes, from the
Rocky movies. What is Robert Tepper trying to say to us?
(04:53):
The hard path builds the strongest to you. Don't look

no easy way out, there's no shortcut home, and don't
forget that. Sabrina kicks off your Best of the Eighties
weekend later on today at five. It's ninety seven point
one wash FM. Now coming up on this Friday morning.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, now that school's out for a lot of folks
in the DMV a lot of kids. What do you
have planned for your kids? I know it stresses parents
out when they don't have any plans.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Right eight six, six, nine two, seven forty three sixty
one is the number. You can also tap the talk
back microphone if you're signed into your iHeart app listening,
drop us a voice note and tell us what your
summertime plans are for them kids.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We're talking about it coming.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Up Tony and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven
point one Wash FM. Good morning, Let's talk about the
plans that you've got for your kids. This summer's summer
is here for so many people, and I know that
if you don't have plans, it can be rough. But
if you do have plans, you're probably really looking forward
to the peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, not only that, but you don't want your kids
on devices for hours and hours a day. So sending
them to camp at least guarantees a few hours of
the day they're doing something else.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So what are you gonna do with your son. He's
in a.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
County camp, so it'll be like nine to four pm,
nine am to four pm all day.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, when it comes to camp, I'm thankful, Chili. Do
you know why I don't have to worry about it anymore? No,
you've got a whole adult now. Yeah, she's twenty one
and still hanging out at home. That's right, and she's
on her screens. Maybe she does need a camp or
a job. Okay, William, thank you for listening to us
this morning in Rockville. Eight sixty six, nine two, seven
forty three sixty one, by the way, is the number
(06:35):
which got planned for the kids this summer.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Slummer camp is the best thing that ever happened. It's
a month of freedom. Don't get me wrong. I love
my kids, but it's nice to have a break from
all the constant fickering and yelling at this endless nonsense.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That sounds more like a sleep away camp when they're
out of sight.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Thank you for the call, William. Rebecca, Good morning in Alexandria.
What do you have planned for the kids this summer?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I got adventure Mondays lined up aka me desperately googling
free stuff nearby. There'll be cereal for dinner nights, the doom,
the tent at gardening that somehow becomes a mud war,
and one chaotic camping trip where I forget the tent
poles but swear it's part of the memory.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Making sounds chaotic, but they are core memories.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yep, Rebecca, good Luck, Toby and Chilly. In the morning
at ninety seven point one, watch FM to have the
talk bag microphone, leave us a message and tell us

(10:03):
ninety seven point one wash FM. If it brings you
all the fields, it must be our feel good Friday
story for this morning and today we go over to
Herndon High School. At the start of his senior year
at Herndon High James Clouda couldn't even walk. During a
hiking trip in Utah, James accidentally fell into boiling mud
(10:26):
and he was burned badly over half of his body
and he spent two months in the hospital, went through
multiple surgeries, and then faced the reality of relearning.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
How to walk.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Even one single step left him exhausted and discouraged.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And what's great is James just refused to give up.
With months of intense physical therapy and determination, he slowly
regained his strength, and by the time the auditions came
around for the school's production of Footloose, James not only
was able to walk, but he said he was ready
to dance, and he ended up getting the lead role
Ofren McCormick, shocking the director and his peers. He had
(11:06):
an incredible performance, and the director called his audition amazing
and praised James for turning such a challenging journey into
such a beautiful triumph.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Opening night was so emotional for everybody involved, especially for
James and his dad, who called it a miracle to
see his son on stage. Now, James has gone on
to graduate with an advanced diploma and now is planning
to spend this summer helping others as a counselor at
a Utah burn camp. Wow, hoping to offer kids hope
(11:36):
to overcome struggles like he did.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Wow. That's an incredible story, which is why we shared
it on this Friday, and you can read more about
it on the Toby and Chili page at waschefm dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And if you've got a story that feels good that
needs to be shared on a Friday just like this one,
feel free.

you were a catcher because he loves baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:49):

Never give up an your dreams. Always pressure there and
don't let anyone kill your dreams because they didn't fulfill it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):

they failed doesn't mean you will.

Don't you listen to them, fools. You listen to your father.
Dad knows best. Just to ask Glory, who's listening this
morning in Silver Spring.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
