Speaker 3 (04:38):
This is our morning mindset. So what's the quote you're
going to share?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, it's from Anonymous. Normally I don't like to quote
anonymous because well, anonymous is anonymous, and you don't really
have any anybody to attribute it to. But this one
spoke to me today and I thought I would share
it with you. You don't have to be perfect, Anonymous sas,
to be amazing. You don't have to be perfect to
be amazing. There's such a move in this life for perfection.
(05:05):
You have to do everything right. You have to be
everything everybody wants you to be. You've got to be perfect.
Now you don't. No, you don't have to be perfect
upon reason and believe the only person who was perfect
who walked on water. Well, I won't get into that,
but I mean, come on now, the rest of us
are just striving to be the best that we can
(05:26):
be and that's good enough, and that's good enough to
be amazing, So Anonymous says, and let's keep this in
mind today, all of us. You don't have to be
perfect to be amazing. That is your morning mindset on
this Wednesday. If it helped you and you need it again,
maybe you need to send it to somebody who needs it.
You'll find it the Toby and Chilipage WASHFM dot com.
(05:47):
Now stay with us because coming up in just a
few minutes, have you heard the story of Jonah. He
was in the belly of a whale. Well, there's a
guy wasn't in the belly of a whale, but he
was certainly.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Swallowed and spit out by a whale.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, And it was all over the news over the
last week.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Although we wonder, like what animal would you love to
see it its natural habitat without being attacked by it?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Ponder that we'll talk in minutes and if you want
to jump in now eight sixty six ninet two, seven
forty three sixty one. Thanks for waking up with Toby
and Chilly in the morning. Number's eight six six ninet two,
seven forty three sixty one. You've already made his pre
set number one on your iHeart app. If you're listening
to ninety seven point one wash FM Toby and Tilly
in the Morning on the app, you can tap the
talk back microphone to jump into this conversation. You know,
(06:30):
we have a good in DC. We've got the National Zoo,
we've got up in Baltimore, the National Aquarium. But what
we don't have would be like whales. Right, I don't
know if you've seen any whales in the wild. I
have not what's an animal you would like to see
at least once in the wild. There's a guy that
got up close and personal with the whale.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The whale ate him, well, he swallowed him up and
then spit him out. That's a little bit. That's a
little too much of a Jonah experience for me to
ever want that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I don't know. I mean, how many people could say
they've seen the inside of a whale before? I mean,
that's very interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No, no, But if I had to choose an animal
that I would love to see in its natural habitat,
uh huh, I think I'd go with the sloth. I
find them to be absolutely adorable and to see them
in action, either hanging around or trying to crawl in
front of you, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
What about you, it's for me that's the wombat. Come on,
a wombat, a wombat.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Of all the animals on this planet, you want to
see a wombat.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Why not have you ever seen a wombat before?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well? Maybe it does.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
How do you know you like the wombat or you
dislike the wombat until you've seen the wombat?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, I thought you'd go something sexier like a leopard.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Or.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Obvious choice, like to say something like a white lion.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
You know those.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Of course you're gonna say that, but nobody says the wombat,
the noble wombat. I would want to see a wombat
in the wild.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, go to Australia and your wish can come true.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's right, because it's a wombat. Sandra and Germantown. What
animal would you want to see in the just once,
at least one time.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I would love to see a snow leopard in the wild.
There is so elusive and rare, and the idea of
spotting one in its natural mountain habitat feels almost mythical.
It would be an incredible, once in a lifetime experience.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Sandra, thanks for the call this morning. What Chilli thoughts?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That would mean being in the cold and that is
really not the climate for me.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Michael and Vienna, you're up.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think it would be really cool to see a
blue whale.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I know there are like whale tours, but I don't
know if there are.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Blue whale tours. That would be an unforgettable experience.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
As long as you weren't on a kayak like that
dude deck got swallowed. I guess you're safe.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Eight six, six, nine, two, seven, forty three sixty one.
What animal would you like to see in the wild?
At least once give us a call. We're listening, and

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now, everybody stay with us because coming up in a

doubt saw the news, right, it's been everywhere. Well, did
you know what the crew had to tell passengers to do?

(11:17):
in ninety seven point one wash FM Toby and Chilly
in the morning at eight sixty six nineteen seven forty
three sixty one. Talkbacks wide open too. If you're signed
into your Iron app. By the way, things Frinky's pre
set number one. But if you want to speak out
on anything, you don't need permission. You can speak at
at any time. Just tap speak and send with the
talkback microphone. Up in Canada, you saw the plane that
(11:39):
Delta flight that had flipped over because of whatever. They're
still investigating it. Well, what's interesting now are some of
the stories that are coming out of that whole crash.
And it goes with that saying that people are like,
you know, they're they're like mesmerized by some of the
video that's going around the internet, right, people have to Well,
(12:01):
it turns out that the Delta flight crew had to
tell passengers to put their phones away.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, stop recording.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You don't understand which part that they were told to
put them away?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
That you would even pull out a phone to record
all of the above?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
H Like, I mean I don't. First of all, free
country and all. I mean, if you want to pull
out your phone, go ahead. Not that That's what I'd
be thinking about if my plane flip, though.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You don't know what, because here's the thing, I say,
the same thing here. The last thing I would think
about it taking my phone out and recording the aftermath
of a crash. But we've never been in that situation.
We've never been in that shocked state of mind. And
what would we do or what you know, what would
we say? And yeah, like you I can't. I keep
watching the video because I the mor bid curiosity of
(12:50):
what does it look like in a crash? What does
inside of a plane look like? How are people reacting?
We're all watching that video? I mean the flight attendants
are doing their job and telling people to put them away,
but part of it is human nature to document. Holy smokes,
I just survive this.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I really doubt seriously the people who pulled out their
phones to shoot video, we're thinking, let me go viral.
So you know, I think to your point, I do
believe that there's something to be said about you know this, Wow,
this really just happened, and I need to you know,
this just probably needs to be documented.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now. I wouldn't want somebody to stop in the middle
of evacuating to take a selfie with somebody, like you're
flowing the process down.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
That's the point I was going to make. It's like,
what's the right thing to do. I don't even know
that there's a rule book for what's right wrong. And
I get that the flight attendants were like, hey, don't
take a video. Put the phone away, right, because you
know what, I don't need you holding up people trying
to get off the plane because you need some video
for Twitter, which is where this video ultimately turned up.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, because a plane is on fire, and especially I
don't mean to make light of it, but that's how
I cope. Well, like, can you imagine like if somebody
was trying to get luggage out of the you know
that there was somebody trying to get luggage out.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I need my laptop. No you don't, Jenny, No you don't.
We don't know what's gonna happen to this plane. I'm
hanging up side down. What I need to do is
get off this plane. Put your camera away. That can
be the most annoying thing, you know, is when people
whoop out their camera for whatever reason. Not that I
begrudge you for doing it. You're gonna do what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But we're going to watch it when you do it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
We're going to be watching a leg with everybody else.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Very true. If you got thoughts, you know where to
find it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Toby and Chilly's nearly impossible question, and if.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You're thinking about Lumineers, then you might want to answer
this question this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It takes the average person less than five seconds to
determine whether they like this.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
What is it? Eight six, six, nine two, seven forty
three sixty one. That is the number. If you think
you know the answer could mean Lumineer's tickets. Here's the
question again.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It takes the average person less than five seconds to
determine whether they like this. What is it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What is it? Do you know? Well? If you do,
call now get it right when those tickets to see
ilumineers and we'll all learn something together. It's a nearly
impossible question for this Wednesday, February nineteenth, and it is
on the Answers on.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The way, Toby and Chili's nearly impossible question.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I'll give you three guesses. Who is on the phone
to play today, Chili? The first two don't count. Who
do you think we're about to talk to? When I
hit this button over here?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I believe it's gonna be our super regular player, Brendan Englen.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Regular Brendan from Glenwood, the person who wins from all
of the radio stations in the nation's capital. Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
It is I the prize pig. Good morning to it
being Chili corn.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Good morning, good morning, good morning. It's been a minute
since you've won anything. I was starting to think maybe
you'd forgotten about us. Yeah, it's literally been a minute now,
don't worry, maybe about five minutes. So Brendan, here comes
the question in one more time.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, it takes the average person less than five seconds
to determine whether they like this?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I believe the answer is a song?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And how about you? Does it take you five seconds
or do you need longer?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I were talking about the song? Yeah, probably two seconds.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, if it's the first time you're hearing a song, though,
I would hope that you give it, you know, a
little bit longer than that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Right, because you just never know. You've got to get
to the hook. That's right, Toby, that's true, that's right
right on.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But wait that beat the drop?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, Brendan, congratulations that you already knew you won because
you googled the answer or something. Listen to his sinister laugh.
He knows, she knows.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, it does take the average person less than five
seconds to determine whether they like a song. So you
got these tickets to see the Lumineers at National's Park
in September.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Congratulations, I will listen to five minutes, so I'm sure
you will, Sure you will. Well here, I congratulations. We'll
talk to you in a week. Thanks for playing our
nearly impossible question this morning.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I appreciate it. All right. We got the news on
the way in minutes. Top stories stop the hour coming up, hang.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Out, top stories, Top of the Hour.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
The first peace talks between the US and Russia about
the war in Ukraine are done. However, Ukrainian President Zelensky
said his government will not accept a peace steal that
is made without his country's involvement. A federal judge is
declining a request from fourteen attorneys general to temporarily ban
Elon Musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies. The
(17:43):
judge said the ags hadn't really shown specific examples of
how Doze would cause irreparable harm to the States. The
sixteen mile Purple Line that's still under construction in Montgomery
and Prince George's counties, well, it's not going to be
completed for a couple more years. But the company that's
building the rail line and also the Maryland Department of Transportation,
they're trying to soften the blow for businesses and community
(18:06):
groups along the route. They're accepting applications for a variety
of grants up to fifty thousand dollars designed to ease
some of the financial pressure that is caused by the
ongoing construction. WNBA star Brittany Griner canceled an appearance at
a Maryland Cannabis Convention this week. Organizers say that she
(18:27):
left after she found a piece of duct tape that
was stuck to the hotel room wall that read gay
Baby jail Now. The Gaylord National Resorting Convention Center says
it was just a mean joke that was left by
a previous guest and it had nothing to do with
Griner and The Mayflower Hotel in DC, celebrating its one
(18:49):
hundredth birthday was yesterday, making it the longest continually operating
hotel in the district. The hotel has a colorful history
that is outlined on its website if you're interested. Forecast
for today, it's going to be cloudy, of course, some
snowshowers to the south of US near Spotsylvania. The high
(19:10):
today will only be twenty six right now sixteen in Stafford.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Did you hear the news they're talking about and they're
testing a dislike button for Instagram posts. How do you
feel about this? It'll vote you down if you dislike
it in somebody else's feed to where they may not
see you. We'll talk more about this coming up. Also,
want to get your take on it. So feel free.
How do you feel free to chime in, how do
(19:34):
you feel about knowing that somebody could dislike what you
post on insta? Eight sixty six ninety two seven forty
three sixty one is the number. We're going to get
into this coming up in just a few tell me
until you in the morning. Let's get your thoughts on this.
Eight sixty six nine two seven forty three sixty one
is the number. How do you feel knowing that Instagram
(19:54):
is testing a dislike button for comments. They're experimenting with
this specific to reels or feed posts. If you don't
like something you see in reels or feeds, you can
dislike it and it'll like go to work in the algorithm,
much like read it with a downvote and you'll see
less of It won't be publicly visible to other people,
(20:15):
but it will help the social media platform to rank comments.
Gotta tell you, I don't think that's a bad thing.
What about you?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You know what? Just saying you dislike something doesn't necessarily
give constructive feedback to the poster, so sometimes they might
be curious as to why you disliked it. If I
post about a plane crash, yes, you can dislike the
fact that a plane crash and that makes sense. But
if you're disliking something I may have posted about a
personal story, I'd be curious as to why it bothered
(20:48):
you so much.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well, I think it would bother somebody for whatever reason,
I you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Know exactly, whatever reason, you know what.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And people have the right to like what they want
to like and to dislike what they want to dislike.
And I think that it's just it's the democratization of
social media, and I think that it's a good thing.
I would not be opposed to it, regardless of whether
or not somebody had their reasons for liking or disliking
something I posted. I wouldn't be that sensitive. I just
(21:18):
wouldn't be. That's maybe me and I'm not everybody, But
I just don't think of it as a bad thing.
I just think of it as another thing.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
As anyone is commenting or disliking, not to be a
troll or hateful.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Sure, That's why I would almost rather like the world
be able to see who's posting this stuff, because then
you know, Sally from silver Spring, who constantly votes me
down on Instagram, is also doing the same thing on Facebook.
So then we know who's doing what, and well, they
just must not like him personally. Okay, well, that's cool,
that's that's You're right. I guess I don't know. I
(21:54):
don't know, but you might have some thoughts. Eight sixty
six nine two seven forty three sixty one is the
number Instagram testing a dislike button for comments for reels
and feeds. What do you think about this? Do you
have an opinion either way? If so, what is it?
Tell us all about it and we look forward to
your thoughts. Here at ninety seven point one Wash FM
(22:16):
Toby and Chilly in the Morning coming up in just
a few minutes. Have you lied about something in a
job interview? You were less than honest? What was it's?
Maybe you lied on a resume. You padded your resume
a little bit. The numbers eight six six, nineteen seven
forty three sixty one. If you want to call to
get involved, we'll talk about this coming up as Toby
and Chilly in the Morning continues, hang out. A lot
(22:38):
of people are looking for work these days in the
nation's capital. If you've seen the news, you know why.
It's ninety seven point one wash CHFM. So you're dusting
off your resume, prepping yourself possibly maybe for an interview
to get a new job. Well, this might shock you.
Research says between thirty and fifty percent of people admit
to lying on a resume or you're in a job
(23:00):
interview at some point. Oh and that actual number could
be higher because there are people who won't admit to it.
Forty percent of people looking for a job line a resume.
According to career Builder interviews, thirty percent of people stretch
the truth during a job interview, oftentimes about skills or
experience or what they did previously. Okay, and a common
(23:22):
lizer inflating job titles, exaggerating skills, faking degrees. Look, I'm
not gonna sit here and justify lying for any reason.
I don't know that that is the best way to
go forward about things. That being said, I understand that
desperate times call for desperate measures.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
And the thirty percent who are stretching the truth, I
wonder if it's if something that they could teach themselves
how to do by the time they would ever get
to an interview, like using a certain software or doing whatever,
Because if that's the case, potentially no harm, no foul.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
So you would say, yes, I know how to do that,
Yes I can do that absolutely, I can do it
knowing you didn't know at the time you answered that.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You answered that, I think that's that's the kind of
stretching the truth that potentially is acceptable for me.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Fake it till you make it is a good slogan,
but it is not a strategy. And to me, it
just makes more sense to be honest up front with
whomever for whatever you're going for, because if if it
comes out in the probationary period that you're lying you
don't know what's going on, yeah, then it's bye bye,
And that's not okay because then you've just wasted my
(24:30):
time and you've wasted your own time, and you could
have been out trying to find something that was more
in line with what you actually know how to do
you know? Eight sixty six nineteen seven forty three sixty
one is the number. Talkback's wide open too. If you
have some thoughts on this, would you lie, have you lied?
Have you stretched the truth? You don't have to tell
us who you are. We just want to hear what
(24:51):
it is that maybe you had to do if you
were in this situation, or what you would do if
you found yourself in this same situation. So give us
a call, we'll tell talk about it here. Ninety seven
point one WASHFM. We'll get to top stories at the
top of the hour. That's the news, and then we
look forward to hearing from you about this coming up.
Talking about lying on a job resume. Lots of people
(25:12):
dusting the resume off around the DMV given the news lately.
Ninety seven point one WASHFM, Toby and Chilly in the morning.
You ever lie on a job interview? Eight six, six,
nine two seven forty three sixty one is the number.
Some people might say, Chilly that it's a little white lie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Like earlier, I was giving the example of how if
you said you had a certain skill set, then it's
okay to lie if you can teach that to yourself
by the time you get the job.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
My old thing is this, if you're a hiring manager
and you don't do your homework, you don't make phone
calls to check out the facts that you've been told
by somebody going after a job. That's not on the applicant,
that's on you. However, I found that it's probably more
important to be honest on a job interview because that
sets the tone for everything they find out your line.
(26:02):
No bueno. Yeah, let's talk to Michaela. Michaela, good morning,
Thank you for listening to us in Tacoma Park. What'd
you lie about?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You basically experienced?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Like I lied?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Is that I graduated from a college I've never graduated from.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Look, I don't love that you would lie about going
to a certain college. But on the other hand, isn't
it more important life experience and work experience?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
And that's why I would double back on the whole
thing about the hiring manager. If they didn't check you
out and it's that important to them, then that's not
on the applicant, that's on the hiring manager. Thank you
MICHAELA for jumping in eight six, six, nine, two, seven
forty three sixty one. You ever lie in a job interview,
lie to get a job, lie on your resume? Stacy,
(26:44):
good morning, Thanks for listening to Alexandria. What lie did you.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Tell that I speak fluent Spanish?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Well? That is bold. Why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Because I was praying that they never actually needed me
to do it right up until they needed a translator
and they called you in and then you're pulling your
phone out with Google translates.

it with you. You don't have to be perfect, Anonymous sas,
to be amazing. You don't have to be perfect to
be amazing. There's such a move in this life for perfection.
(05:05):
You have to do everything right. You have to be
everything everybody wants you to be. You've got to be perfect.
Now you don't. No, you don't have to be perfect
upon reason and believe the only person who was perfect
who walked on water. Well, I won't get into that,
but I mean, come on now, the rest of us
are just striving to be the best that we can
(05:26):
be and that's good enough, and that's good enough to
be amazing, So Anonymous says, and let's keep this in
mind today, all of us. You don't have to be
perfect to be amazing. That is your morning mindset on
this Wednesday. If it helped you and you need it again,
maybe you need to send it to somebody who needs it.
You'll find it the Toby and Chilipage WASHFM dot com.
(05:47):
Now stay with us because coming up in just a
few minutes, have you heard the story of Jonah. He
was in the belly of a whale. Well, there's a
guy wasn't in the belly of a whale, but he
was certainly.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Swallowed and spit out by a whale.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, And it was all over the news over the
last week.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Although we wonder, like what animal would you love to
see it its natural habitat without being attacked by it?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Ponder that we'll talk in minutes and if you want
to jump in now eight sixty six ninet two, seven
forty three sixty one. Thanks for waking up with Toby

(06:30):
we have a good in DC. We've got the National Zoo,
we've got up in Baltimore, the National Aquarium. But what
we don't have would be like whales. Right, I don't
know if you've seen any whales in the wild. I
have not what's an animal you would like to see
at least once in the wild. There's a guy that
got up close and personal with the whale.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The whale ate him, well, he swallowed him up and
then spit him out. That's a little bit. That's a
little too much of a Jonah experience for me to
ever want that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I don't know. I mean, how many people could say
they've seen the inside of a whale before? I mean,
that's very interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No, no, But if I had to choose an animal
that I would love to see in its natural habitat,
uh huh, I think I'd go with the sloth. I
find them to be absolutely adorable and to see them
in action, either hanging around or trying to crawl in
front of you, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
What about you, it's for me that's the wombat. Come on,
a wombat, a wombat.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Of all the animals on this planet, you want to
see a wombat.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Why not have you ever seen a wombat before?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well? Maybe it does.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
How do you know you like the wombat or you
dislike the wombat until you've seen the wombat?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, I thought you'd go something sexier like a leopard.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Or.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Obvious choice, like to say something like a white lion.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
You know those.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Of course you're gonna say that, but nobody says the wombat,
the noble wombat. I would want to see a wombat
in the wild.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, go to Australia and your wish can come true.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's right, because it's a wombat. Sandra and Germantown. What
animal would you want to see in the just once,
at least one time.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I would love to see a snow leopard in the wild.
There is so elusive and rare, and the idea of
spotting one in its natural mountain habitat feels almost mythical.
It would be an incredible, once in a lifetime experience.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Sandra, thanks for the call this morning. What Chilli thoughts?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That would mean being in the cold and that is
really not the climate for me.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Michael and Vienna, you're up.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think it would be really cool to see a
blue whale.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I know there are like whale tours, but I don't
know if there are.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Blue whale tours. That would be an unforgettable experience.

dude deck got swallowed. I guess you're safe.

talkback microphone. Up in Canada, you saw the plane that
(11:39):
Delta flight that had flipped over because of whatever. They're
still investigating it. Well, what's interesting now are some of
the stories that are coming out of that whole crash.
And it goes with that saying that people are like,
you know, they're they're like mesmerized by some of the
video that's going around the internet, right, people have to Well,
(12:01):
it turns out that the Delta flight crew had to
tell passengers to put their phones away.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, stop recording.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You don't understand which part that they were told to
put them away?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
That you would even pull out a phone to record
all of the above?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
H Like, I mean I don't. First of all, free
country and all. I mean, if you want to pull
out your phone, go ahead. Not that That's what I'd
be thinking about if my plane flip, though.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You don't know what, because here's the thing, I say,
the same thing here. The last thing I would think
about it taking my phone out and recording the aftermath
of a crash. But we've never been in that situation.
We've never been in that shocked state of mind. And
what would we do or what you know, what would
we say? And yeah, like you I can't. I keep
watching the video because I the mor bid curiosity of
(12:50):
what does it look like in a crash? What does
inside of a plane look like? How are people reacting?
We're all watching that video? I mean the flight attendants
are doing their job and telling people to put them away,
but part of it is human nature to document. Holy smokes,
I just survive this.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I really doubt seriously the people who pulled out their
phones to shoot video, we're thinking, let me go viral.
So you know, I think to your point, I do
believe that there's something to be said about you know this, Wow,
this really just happened, and I need to you know,
this just probably needs to be documented.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now. I wouldn't want somebody to stop in the middle
of evacuating to take a selfie with somebody, like you're
flowing the process down.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
That's the point I was going to make. It's like,
what's the right thing to do. I don't even know
that there's a rule book for what's right wrong. And
I get that the flight attendants were like, hey, don't
take a video. Put the phone away, right, because you
know what, I don't need you holding up people trying
to get off the plane because you need some video
for Twitter, which is where this video ultimately turned up.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, because a plane is on fire, and especially I
don't mean to make light of it, but that's how
I cope. Well, like, can you imagine like if somebody
was trying to get luggage out of the you know
that there was somebody trying to get luggage out.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I need my laptop. No you don't, Jenny, No you don't.
We don't know what's gonna happen to this plane. I'm
hanging up side down. What I need to do is
get off this plane. Put your camera away. That can
be the most annoying thing, you know, is when people
whoop out their camera for whatever reason. Not that I
begrudge you for doing it. You're gonna do what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But we're going to watch it when you do it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
We're going to be watching a leg with everybody else.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Very true. If you got thoughts, you know where to
find it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Toby and Chilly's nearly impossible question, and if.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You're thinking about Lumineers, then you might want to answer
this question this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It takes the average person less than five seconds to
determine whether they like this.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
What is it? Eight six, six, nine two, seven forty
three sixty one. That is the number. If you think
you know the answer could mean Lumineer's tickets. Here's the
question again.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It takes the average person less than five seconds to
determine whether they like this. What is it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What is it? Do you know? Well? If you do,
call now get it right when those tickets to see
ilumineers and we'll all learn something together. It's a nearly
impossible question for this Wednesday, February nineteenth, and it is
on the Answers on.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The way, Toby and Chili's nearly impossible question.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I'll give you three guesses. Who is on the phone
to play today, Chili? The first two don't count. Who
do you think we're about to talk to? When I
hit this button over here?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I believe it's gonna be our super regular player, Brendan Englen.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Regular Brendan from Glenwood, the person who wins from all
of the radio stations in the nation's capital. Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
It is I the prize pig. Good morning to it
being Chili corn.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Good morning, good morning, good morning. It's been a minute
since you've won anything. I was starting to think maybe
you'd forgotten about us. Yeah, it's literally been a minute now,
don't worry, maybe about five minutes. So Brendan, here comes
the question in one more time.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, it takes the average person less than five seconds
to determine whether they like this?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I believe the answer is a song?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And how about you? Does it take you five seconds
or do you need longer?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I were talking about the song? Yeah, probably two seconds.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Well, if it's the first time you're hearing a song, though,
I would hope that you give it, you know, a
little bit longer than that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Right, because you just never know. You've got to get
to the hook. That's right, Toby, that's true, that's right
right on.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But wait that beat the drop?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, Brendan, congratulations that you already knew you won because
you googled the answer or something. Listen to his sinister laugh.
He knows, she knows.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, it does take the average person less than five
seconds to determine whether they like a song. So you
got these tickets to see the Lumineers at National's Park
in September.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Congratulations, I will listen to five minutes, so I'm sure
you will, Sure you will. Well here, I congratulations. We'll
talk to you in a week. Thanks for playing our
nearly impossible question this morning.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I appreciate it. All right. We got the news on
the way in minutes. Top stories stop the hour coming up, hang.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Out, top stories, Top of the Hour.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
The first peace talks between the US and Russia about
the war in Ukraine are done. However, Ukrainian President Zelensky
said his government will not accept a peace steal that
is made without his country's involvement. A federal judge is
declining a request from fourteen attorneys general to temporarily ban
Elon Musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies. The
(17:43):
judge said the ags hadn't really shown specific examples of
how Doze would cause irreparable harm to the States. The
sixteen mile Purple Line that's still under construction in Montgomery
and Prince George's counties, well, it's not going to be
completed for a couple more years. But the company that's
building the rail line and also the Maryland Department of Transportation,
they're trying to soften the blow for businesses and community
(18:06):
groups along the route. They're accepting applications for a variety
of grants up to fifty thousand dollars designed to ease
some of the financial pressure that is caused by the
ongoing construction. WNBA star Brittany Griner canceled an appearance at
a Maryland Cannabis Convention this week. Organizers say that she
(18:27):
left after she found a piece of duct tape that
was stuck to the hotel room wall that read gay
Baby jail Now. The Gaylord National Resorting Convention Center says
it was just a mean joke that was left by
a previous guest and it had nothing to do with
Griner and The Mayflower Hotel in DC, celebrating its one
(18:49):
hundredth birthday was yesterday, making it the longest continually operating
hotel in the district. The hotel has a colorful history
that is outlined on its website if you're interested. Forecast
for today, it's going to be cloudy, of course, some
snowshowers to the south of US near Spotsylvania. The high
(19:10):
today will only be twenty six right now sixteen in Stafford.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Did you hear the news they're talking about and they're
testing a dislike button for Instagram posts. How do you
feel about this? It'll vote you down if you dislike
it in somebody else's feed to where they may not
see you. We'll talk more about this coming up. Also,
want to get your take on it. So feel free.
How do you feel free to chime in, how do
(19:34):
you feel about knowing that somebody could dislike what you
post on insta? Eight sixty six ninety two seven forty
three sixty one is the number. We're going to get
into this coming up in just a few tell me
until you in the morning. Let's get your thoughts on this.
Eight sixty six nine two seven forty three sixty one
is the number. How do you feel knowing that Instagram
(19:54):
is testing a dislike button for comments. They're experimenting with
this specific to reels or feed posts. If you don't
like something you see in reels or feeds, you can
dislike it and it'll like go to work in the algorithm,
much like read it with a downvote and you'll see
less of It won't be publicly visible to other people,
(20:15):
but it will help the social media platform to rank comments.
Gotta tell you, I don't think that's a bad thing.
What about you?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You know what? Just saying you dislike something doesn't necessarily
give constructive feedback to the poster, so sometimes they might
be curious as to why you disliked it. If I
post about a plane crash, yes, you can dislike the
fact that a plane crash and that makes sense. But
if you're disliking something I may have posted about a
personal story, I'd be curious as to why it bothered
(20:48):
you so much.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well, I think it would bother somebody for whatever reason,
I you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Know exactly, whatever reason, you know what.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And people have the right to like what they want
to like and to dislike what they want to dislike.
And I think that it's just it's the democratization of
social media, and I think that it's a good thing.
I would not be opposed to it, regardless of whether
or not somebody had their reasons for liking or disliking
something I posted. I wouldn't be that sensitive. I just
(21:18):
wouldn't be. That's maybe me and I'm not everybody, But
I just don't think of it as a bad thing.
I just think of it as another thing.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
As anyone is commenting or disliking, not to be a
troll or hateful.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Sure, That's why I would almost rather like the world
be able to see who's posting this stuff, because then
you know, Sally from silver Spring, who constantly votes me
down on Instagram, is also doing the same thing on Facebook.
So then we know who's doing what, and well, they
just must not like him personally. Okay, well, that's cool,
that's that's You're right. I guess I don't know. I
(21:54):
don't know, but you might have some thoughts. Eight sixty
six nine two seven forty three sixty one is the
number Instagram testing a dislike button for comments for reels
and feeds. What do you think about this? Do you
have an opinion either way? If so, what is it?
Tell us all about it and we look forward to
your thoughts. Here at ninety seven point one Wash FM
(22:16):
Toby and Chilly in the Morning coming up in just
a few minutes. Have you lied about something in a
job interview? You were less than honest? What was it's?
Maybe you lied on a resume. You padded your resume
a little bit. The numbers eight six six, nineteen seven
forty three sixty one. If you want to call to
get involved, we'll talk about this coming up as Toby
and Chilly in the Morning continues, hang out. A lot
(22:38):
of people are looking for work these days in the
nation's capital. If you've seen the news, you know why.
It's ninety seven point one wash CHFM. So you're dusting
off your resume, prepping yourself possibly maybe for an interview
to get a new job. Well, this might shock you.
Research says between thirty and fifty percent of people admit
to lying on a resume or you're in a job
(23:00):
interview at some point. Oh and that actual number could
be higher because there are people who won't admit to it.
Forty percent of people looking for a job line a resume.
According to career Builder interviews, thirty percent of people stretch
the truth during a job interview, oftentimes about skills or
experience or what they did previously. Okay, and a common
(23:22):
lizer inflating job titles, exaggerating skills, faking degrees. Look, I'm
not gonna sit here and justify lying for any reason.
I don't know that that is the best way to
go forward about things. That being said, I understand that
desperate times call for desperate measures.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
And the thirty percent who are stretching the truth, I
wonder if it's if something that they could teach themselves
how to do by the time they would ever get
to an interview, like using a certain software or doing whatever,
Because if that's the case, potentially no harm, no foul.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
So you would say, yes, I know how to do that,
Yes I can do that absolutely, I can do it
knowing you didn't know at the time you answered that.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You answered that, I think that's that's the kind of
stretching the truth that potentially is acceptable for me.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Fake it till you make it is a good slogan,
but it is not a strategy. And to me, it
just makes more sense to be honest up front with
whomever for whatever you're going for, because if if it
comes out in the probationary period that you're lying you
don't know what's going on, yeah, then it's bye bye,
And that's not okay because then you've just wasted my
(24:30):
time and you've wasted your own time, and you could
have been out trying to find something that was more
in line with what you actually know how to do
you know? Eight sixty six nineteen seven forty three sixty
one is the number. Talkback's wide open too. If you
have some thoughts on this, would you lie, have you lied?
Have you stretched the truth? You don't have to tell
us who you are. We just want to hear what
(24:51):
it is that maybe you had to do if you
were in this situation, or what you would do if
you found yourself in this same situation. So give us
a call, we'll tell talk about it here. Ninety seven
point one WASHFM. We'll get to top stories at the
top of the hour. That's the news, and then we
look forward to hearing from you about this coming up.
Talking about lying on a job resume. Lots of people
(25:12):
dusting the resume off around the DMV given the news lately.
Ninety seven point one WASHFM, Toby and Chilly in the morning.
You ever lie on a job interview? Eight six, six,
nine two seven forty three sixty one is the number.
Some people might say, Chilly that it's a little white lie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Like earlier, I was giving the example of how if
you said you had a certain skill set, then it's
okay to lie if you can teach that to yourself
by the time you get the job.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
My old thing is this, if you're a hiring manager
and you don't do your homework, you don't make phone
calls to check out the facts that you've been told
by somebody going after a job. That's not on the applicant,
that's on you. However, I found that it's probably more
important to be honest on a job interview because that
sets the tone for everything they find out your line.
(26:02):
No bueno. Yeah, let's talk to Michaela. Michaela, good morning,
Thank you for listening to us in Tacoma Park. What'd
you lie about?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You basically experienced?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Like I lied?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Is that I graduated from a college I've never graduated from.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Look, I don't love that you would lie about going
to a certain college. But on the other hand, isn't
it more important life experience and work experience?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
And that's why I would double back on the whole
thing about the hiring manager. If they didn't check you
out and it's that important to them, then that's not
on the applicant, that's on the hiring manager. Thank you
MICHAELA for jumping in eight six, six, nine, two, seven
forty three sixty one. You ever lie in a job interview,
lie to get a job, lie on your resume? Stacy,
(26:44):
good morning, Thanks for listening to Alexandria. What lie did you.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Tell that I speak fluent Spanish?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Well? That is bold. Why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Because I was praying that they never actually needed me
to do it right up until they needed a translator
and they called you in and then you're pulling your
phone out with Google translates.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
See colmosdise You're
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Screwed one more Toby and Jilly head over to washfm
