Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety three point nine light f M Melissa Foreman, producer, Jim,
and you welcome to Monday. They got Its Monday Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh yeah. Do you like Monday's Jim?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I like Mony. I just love Monday Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
All right. So yeah, and don't forget tomorrow's free ticket. Tuesday,
five minutes after every hour, we're gonna have those tickets
for you to see Toto with Christopher Cross and men
at work.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's gonna be a big, big show.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Jimmy already has tickets, but tomorrow six O five, seven, five,
eight five and nine O five you get to win those,
all right, and happy back to work in school for
so many of you. You missed some awesome shows last week,
But don't worry. We're gonna try to continue that, you know,
at least till the end of this week, right Jim.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Of course, we're gonna do our very best, I hope.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So all right now, if you're running late this morning
on They Got Its Monday Day, Jim, there's a little
story out about people always running late are happier and healthier.
I'm like, what are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Why they're happy?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Healthy? Why woy that can be true. I have a
lot of friends who are not on time, and I
am definitely not happy about that. So right, they're happy
because they're just taking their time and strolling along when
they're in a fashion show.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was just gonna say, I know exactly why they're happy,
because they're not worried about being late. Now, the rest
of us who are on time or early, we have
shorter lifespans because all we do is sit around waiting
for these people to be on time, right, huh. I know.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I saw this and I was like, I'm not showing
this to Scott because it's the number one thing we
argue about, is he always late. He just he's in
his own little world. He's not really late, but he's
on Scott time. It'll be five minutes to six pm.
Like we have to leave at six and he's like, oh,
I have to take the dog out. And I'm like,
didn't you think about that before? Like you got a
back time, right, you got a back time. So anyway,

(01:55):
I guess it's because it says they are good at multitasking,
but I don't think so there I'm not really good
at it. If the rest of us multitask and we're
on time. It does save for people who are continually late,
and maybe this is your thing, Your new year's resolution
is to notpu late. It does talk about the idea
of back timing, and it wants those people to think
about how long each task actually takes to accomplish and

(02:20):
in their mind imagine like, you know, let's say I
do have to walk the dog.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Okay, I going to.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Get the dog. Sleesh on, I have to walk? What
if the dog doesn't have to go? And you have
to imagine those tasks so that you could actually consider
how much time you truly need. People who are late
don't do that, Jim. They just like, oh, it'll be fine,
you know, and they don't visualize what each task takes
time wise, and the rest of us, you know, it's
driven crazy all right. Anyway, So I'm going to hide

(02:46):
this article from who has a loved one that continually
runs late. They're happier and healthier. Or maybe we should
show it to them and say, look what you're doing.
You're killing me. Look at you're killing me. Smalls. You're fine,
but I'm not yet. Maybe we'll do that
