What is the No Trousers Tube Ride and why is it significant?
Hello and welcome. It's the show where you'll learn something, but be stupider for it. Emphasis on the stupider because in about 10 minutes time, I am going to incite an international incident, or at least try. There is an American travel writer who visited both the Canadian and US side of Niagara Falls. In her writing, she says the US side is better. Now, she was pretty polite and complimented the Canadian side too, but that doesn't matter. On the show, in 10 minutes time, I'm going to have her and the mayor of the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. And I'm going to demand an apology. This should be fun.
What controversy arises between the Canadian and US sides of Niagara Falls?
You're not going to want to miss it. Then after that, it's the learn something portion of the show. Had a long, stressful day at work? Go ahead, kick back, watch some TV. It might actually help you, I promise. Why? 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.
Good day, David. Good day, friends in North America, Canada, and everywhere north of the Atlantic. How are you, dear boy?
I am doing well. I'm just looking at photos from this No Trousers Too Bright.
What insights does Caitlin Green provide about the Golden Globes?
It looks like a good time. David, you know you're not allowed to look at those websites when you're working, my friend. But yes. i think you guys over there would call it a pantless subway ride here in the uk it's called a trouserless tube ride my friend in fact weirdly this tradition which is one year where everybody meets up and it's organized i guess online and they take their trousers off now there are rules you can't wear thongs or little tiny underwear or anything so sexually provocative it has to be sort of you know underwear full-on underwear like imagine bridget jones big ugly granny pants or like wire fronts and stuff, and you board the underground like everything is normal. Just literally, you just go on your day with no trousers on.
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.
Absolutely. There is something innately British about a middle class, bald white man with a trouser suit without the trousers. So a full on shirt, tie, blazer, leather briefcase, financial times, but just with no trousers. It's something so beautiful, so British. It happens every year. Weirdly, this whole thing started in New York.
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.
What are the reasons behind high anxiety levels in Gen Z?
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. I should get in on the action, but I'm bringing a towel because I'm not sitting on those subway seats having skin to seat contact. No way I would do that.
lovingly it was organized by the stiff upper lip society originally but they uh they sort of stopped getting sort of participating to it about 2023 about three years ago um and they said oh it's run its course it's something that they've stopped doing so one of their own members one of the peoples who was a trouserless decided to continue it so yeah and i think it was like a a
