We'll get to it in minute.

Minneapolis school shooter was a former student whose mother also

The August tenth incident went viral. Montgomery County Police say

New York, and Boston with five Gi Fi power outlets,
upgraded lighting, and a modern cafe. And finally, a new
study finds that people living within thirty miles of the
ocean live about a year longer than average, likely due

no similar benefit was found for those near rivers or lakes.
Forecasts for today pretty much through the holiday weekend partly
cloudy with highs in the low eighties right now sixty

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Check your head We'll take a second to see how
you are doing. Is you get up and start this
brand new Friday, the last day of the week before

We're curious and every weekday morning, right around this time,
we take a moment to focus on what you might
be going through and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We try to help you get into a good headspace
by sharing a quote for the morning mindset.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And since we've got another best of the eighties weekends
straight ahead of us, as we all prepare to enjoy
Labor Day, thought we would go back to the eighties
for this song from Chicago with some some words, some
lyrics that might inspire sometimes the best things in life
are the ones we leave behind. Sometimes the best things
(05:05):
in life are the ones we leave behind. You know,
sometimes making a move is tough. Sometimes you don't want to,
but you have to, and sometimes that might just be
the best thing that could possibly have happened. So keep
that in mind today. If you're going through something, you're
facing a choice, you might find that you have to
(05:26):
make some sort of a move. Chicago from nineteen eighty
four and Hard Habit to Break says, sometimes the best
things in life are the ones we leave behind. That's
your morning mindset four this Friday morning. If you need
to hear it again or read it again, you can
the Toby and Chilipage WATCHFM dot com. Just check it
(05:47):
out on demand in the podcast and stay right there
because coming up next.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, sometimes the best things left in life or left
behind are voice messages, yes, talkbacks from you whenever we
talk about something on the show. And earlier this week
we asked you guys to share the most bizarre request
of friend made and it looks like Megan in Rockville
shared a message and.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well listen to it together. Coming up, stay right there
Labor Day weekend. Toby and Chilly in the Morning ninety
seven point one Watch FM. I know, we just have

and send us a message. And earlier this week, we
asked you guys to tell us the most bizarre request
a friend made from you.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now, if you missed it, Tilly, you had a friend
who asked you to do something pretty bizarre.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
In high school.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
She wanted me to call her crush and pretend to
be one of those people who does surveys on the
phone to learn more about him.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, I mean, did it work out for your friend?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah? They got married see years later.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, now my question is this is that request is crazy?
Is this request? Megan left us on talkback.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
So my friend Melanie asked me at one point to
pay for her six hundred dollar meal that she had
from a safe house. It was a crapered event, so
she didn't have enough money and she asked me to
pay for it. I obviously said no. But that's from
(07:31):
the visitary beings that my friend had asked me to do.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, no way, I don't care how close to a
friend we are. I am not going to put your
six hundred dollars meal.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, chili, but wait, what if it was like a
corporate event? You know, you know you're gonna get the
money back anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
How do you know she said nothing about reimbursing. You're
making an assumption.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well, I do know what they say about assumptions exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I would say to her, you know what, you need
to get in the kitchen and start washing those dishes.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Come on, Chili. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. The
class is half full.

It's an emblem of dreams becoming real and community spirit
coming live. What does batist mean?
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Chilly?

How appropriate? This whole thing started with twenty eight year
old Ashley couranteg I hope I'm saying your name right, Ashley.
She's a local woman who turned her childhood love of
basketball into something extraordinary. She brought together a group of
dedicated female athletes juggling jobs, responsibilities, and aspirations to not
(20:30):
do it for a paycheck, but for pride, empowerment and
the pure joy of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:34):

Tybey and Chilly in the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Now coming up next. We all know it can be
very expensive to decorate.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
A dorm room.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh really, wait till.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
You find out how much some parents are spending.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Toby, you have no idea, but we'll all find out next.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'm just thankful my kids graduated. Back to school. It's
ninety seven point one wash FM, Toby and Chilly in
the morning. Back to school can also mean back to campus,
and for some people it's year one in college. Grab
your wallet for this. Some people are spending a ton
of money on dorm rooms.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, some parents are dishing out twenty thousand dollars for
their kids' dorm room. I cannot imagine that in a
million years.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Sounds like tuition. Wow, you need to take out a
loan just like do up the dorm.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Thinking back to your own daughter, I know she graduated college,
but what a more realistic budget do you think.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
All things considered for us, it was about maybe one
thousand dollars could have been a little bit over. But
you know when you throw in bedding and you know,
school supplies and things that they need for the walls
in the dorm and stuff to hang up, see, it
can add up. But not to twenty thousand dollars worth
this stuff. That's insane.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I think that's happening because a lot of these kids
or parents want their dorm rooms to look in staff fabulous.
It's like they're trying to create a pinterest fantasy room
and it's getting out of hand. Yeah, and that's just
the college students. The moms and the dads must be
trying to live vicariously through the kids. Because I don't
(23:21):
know anybody, anybody who had a dorm room where they
spent twenty grand on stuff just to pimp it out,
as it were. I don't even know if every piece
of furniture in my whole house is worth that much.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
If I'm being honest, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
But we do want to know more realistically, how much
did you spend on your child's dorm room.

Minneapolis school shooter was a former student whose mother also

(02:45):
The August tenth incident went viral. Montgomery County Police say
an officer was injured when a driver in a possibly

The traffic stop attempt on Georgia Avenue happened around eight
fifteen last night and escalated as the driver fled south
into the district. A teen has been arrested for allegedly
(03:07):
threatening at d C school. Police and the ATF started
investigating after a social media post and a Wednesday search
of a DC home uncovered multiple firearms. Amtrak's new next

(03:27):
New York, and Boston with five Gi Fi power outlets,
upgraded lighting, and a modern cafe. And finally, a new
study finds that people living within thirty miles of the
ocean live about a year longer than average, likely due
to cleaner air, milder weather and more recreational opportunities. Now

be going through and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We try to help you get into a good headspace
by sharing a quote for the morning mindset.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And since we've got another best of the eighties weekends
straight ahead of us, as we all prepare to enjoy
Labor Day, thought we would go back to the eighties
for this song from Chicago with some some words, some
lyrics that might inspire sometimes the best things in life
are the ones we leave behind. Sometimes the best things
(05:05):
in life are the ones we leave behind. You know,
sometimes making a move is tough. Sometimes you don't want to,
but you have to, and sometimes that might just be
the best thing that could possibly have happened. So keep
that in mind today. If you're going through something, you're
facing a choice, you might find that you have to
(05:26):
make some sort of a move. Chicago from nineteen eighty
four and Hard Habit to Break says, sometimes the best
things in life are the ones we leave behind. That's
your morning mindset four this Friday morning. If you need
to hear it again or read it again, you can
the Toby and Chilipage WATCHFM dot com. Just check it
(05:47):
out on demand in the podcast and stay right there
because coming up next.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, sometimes the best things left in life or left
behind are voice messages, yes, talkbacks from you whenever we
talk about something on the show. And earlier this week
we asked you guys to share the most bizarre request
of friend made and it looks like Megan in Rockville
shared a message and.
Speaker 2 (06:12):

and send us a message. And earlier this week, we
asked you guys to tell us the most bizarre request
a friend made from you.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now, if you missed it, Tilly, you had a friend
who asked you to do something pretty bizarre.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
In high school.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
She wanted me to call her crush and pretend to
be one of those people who does surveys on the
phone to learn more about him.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, I mean, did it work out for your friend?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah? They got married see years later.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, now my question is this is that request is crazy?
Is this request? Megan left us on talkback.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
So my friend Melanie asked me at one point to
pay for her six hundred dollar meal that she had
from a safe house. It was a crapered event, so
she didn't have enough money and she asked me to
pay for it. I obviously said no. But that's from
(07:31):
the visitary beings that my friend had asked me to do.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, no way, I don't care how close to a
friend we are. I am not going to put your
six hundred dollars meal.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, chili, but wait, what if it was like a
corporate event? You know, you know you're gonna get the
money back anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
How do you know she said nothing about reimbursing. You're
making an assumption.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well, I do know what they say about assumptions exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I would say to her, you know what, you need
to get in the kitchen and start washing those dishes.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Come on, Chili. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. The
class is half full.
Speaker 3 (08:10):

Speaker 3 (21:41):

very expensive to decorate.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
A dorm room.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh really, wait till.

You find out how much some parents are spending.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Toby, you have no idea, but we'll all find out next.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'm just thankful my kids graduated. Back to school. It's
ninety seven point one wash FM, Toby and Chilly in
the morning. Back to school can also mean back to campus,
and for some people it's year one in college. Grab
your wallet for this. Some people are spending a ton
of money on dorm rooms.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, some parents are dishing out twenty thousand dollars for
their kids' dorm room. I cannot imagine that in a
million years.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Sounds like tuition. Wow, you need to take out a
loan just like do up the dorm.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Thinking back to your own daughter, I know she graduated college,
but what a more realistic budget do you think.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
All things considered for us, it was about maybe one
thousand dollars could have been a little bit over. But
you know when you throw in bedding and you know,
school supplies and things that they need for the walls
in the dorm and stuff to hang up, see, it
can add up. But not to twenty thousand dollars worth
this stuff. That's insane.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I think that's happening because a lot of these kids
or parents want their dorm rooms to look in staff fabulous.
It's like they're trying to create a pinterest fantasy room
and it's getting out of hand. Yeah, and that's just
the college students. The moms and the dads must be
trying to live vicariously through the kids. Because I don't
(23:21):
know anybody, anybody who had a dorm room where they
spent twenty grand on stuff just to pimp it out,
as it were. I don't even know if every piece
of furniture in my whole house is worth that much.
