Well, halfway through the hour, the new scientific paper you'll learn about that says relaxing on the couch and zoning out in front of a screen might be exactly what you need to avoid burning out at work.

Now that's some of what we'll cover on tonight's program.

There will be more, but for now, let's dive in.

And in pantsless, or as the UK people say, trouserless tube news, we have foreign correspondent Tony Five to talk about an annual no trousers tube ride that is going on in London.

He reports live from the scene of the comfort of his bedroom where he probably isn't wearing trousers.

Tony, welcome to the show.

I am doing well.

I'm just looking at photos from this No Trousers Too Bright.

So this isn't as salacious as the worldwide naked bike ride where people are in fact fully nude.

No.

However, you're on your own bike seat when you're doing that.

I think it would be very rude, unless you brought a towel to engage in a fully nude subway ride.

Notwithstanding the fact that the London coppers would come with their billy clubs and their like yellow stripy outfits and they would probably beat you down.

Did it?

I guess they would have called it a pantsless train ride.

I don't know why they call the subway the train because there's also a train station in New York.

And guess what they call the things that depart from there?

Trains.

That's exactly right.

But regardless, I didn't know it started in New York.
