- 0:00Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. Good morning.
- 0:01Speaker 2: It is Jack and Nina. There's Kelly Clarkson. She was
- 0:04Speaker 2: on Long Island and I don't know, something happened. Fill
- 0:09Speaker 2: me in on this because.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I couldn't quite.
- 0:11Speaker 3: It's kind of a headline story, which it probably.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Which I should know.
- 0:15Speaker 3: I don't know. No, I just. Anyway, Kelly Clarkson is
- 0:17Speaker 3: calling out a store in Brooklyn. It's actually a really
- 0:19Speaker 3: cute little store. It's about they sell games and puzzles
- 0:22Speaker 3: and things. And she says she went in and had
- 0:25Speaker 3: like a pretty woman scene happen there where I guess.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Richard Gere showed up.
- 0:30Speaker 3: No. Not exactly. That would be a different story. Where
- 0:32Speaker 3: she walked in and wanted to buy something, and they
- 0:36Speaker 3: acted like she didn't have enough money and said no.
- 0:38Speaker 3: And she said, you've missed out on a huge sale.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Big mistake. The store is saying that actually she asked
- 0:46Speaker 3: to buy something that wasn't for sale. It was a
- 0:48Speaker 3: one-of-a-kind dancing bird they use in magic shows, and it
- 0:51Speaker 3: wasn't for sale. So that's the story. But since then,
- 0:54Speaker 3: they've heard from tens of thousands of people complaining.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Because it's Kelly.
- 0:58Speaker 3: People who have never been to the store. And the store,
- 1:00Speaker 3: if you go online, I hate to mention, here's the thing.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Small businesses, it's so hard to have a small business.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:06Speaker 3: This is probably like a family-owned one-off. This is like
- 1:08Speaker 3: a one-off store. It's kind of like, you know.
- 1:11Speaker 1: You don't need this kind of publicity.
- 1:13Speaker 3: They don't need this kind of publicity.
- 1:14Speaker 1: But here's my question.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson just walked in by herself. Doesn't she have
- 1:17Speaker 2: people with her? I mean, don't you know? This is
- 1:19Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson coming in.
- 1:21Speaker 3: I think, well, now they're trying to patch it up
- 1:23Speaker 3: with her. Did they actually know it was her at
- 1:24Speaker 3: the store? That I don't know. That's not part of the.
- 1:26Speaker 1: How would you know? I mean, I would know if
- 1:28Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Well, some people you don't recognize, maybe. Yeah. You know
- 1:31Speaker 3: what I mean?
- 1:32Speaker 1: But doesn't she come in with other people?
- 1:34Speaker 3: I don't know. It's Kelly Clarkson. She seems like she
- 1:37Speaker 3: might just go by herself. She lives here. She's just
- 1:39Speaker 3: a resident.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Yeah. And I've met her. She's a real... Well, this
- 1:43Speaker 1: was a number of years ago.
- 1:44Speaker 3: She's very gregarious and all those kind of things. But,
- 1:46Speaker 3: you know, maybe she was by herself. I don't know.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Maybe she's just itching to have this.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Sometimes when you want something really bad and somebody says
- 1:54Speaker 2: you can't have it, the belligerence starts coming up.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Maybe she was surrounded with
- 2:01Speaker 3: a Mariah entourage or something. That we don't know.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Well, that you would know.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Mariah has an entourage. Does Kelly have an entourage?
- 2:07Speaker 1: There are people inside and outside the store.
- 2:10Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Next on Light FM. I need to tell you two things.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Cubby and Christine's. Two pretty cool things.
- 2:23Speaker 2: All right, I've got something very exciting, not only for myself,
- 2:25Speaker 2: but for your husband as well.
- 2:27Speaker 3: My husband?
- 2:28Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 2:30Speaker 1: UK-based company called Tropic Biosciences has developed the world's first
- 2:34Speaker 1: banana that does not turn brown.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 2:38Speaker 2: It stays yellow and fresh much longer after it's peeled
- 2:42Speaker 2: or sliced. And as you know me, if it loses
- 2:44Speaker 2: that little touch of green.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I can't eat it.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Mark can't eat anything with like any brown on it.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That's why you always have a banana.
- 2:52Speaker 3: And I hate bananas. I don't like a banana, but
- 2:55Speaker 3: I'll eat a banana.
- 2:56Speaker 2: We'll make pudding or bread or something like that.
- 2:58Speaker 1: You wind up eating those bananas.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Well, we have too many. He'll buy a bunch of them.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And then most of them go brown.
- 3:03Speaker 1: They do peel apart. They peel apart.
- 3:05Speaker 3: That's such a thing.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Anyway, what do you got?
- 3:06Speaker 3: Guy with your bananas.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Please.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I like this story. So there are new bird celebrities
- 3:11Speaker 3: in town. Really? For the first time in modern history,
- 3:14Speaker 3: or as far as we know, a family of barn
- 3:17Speaker 3: owls has made a nest in Manhattan on the Upper
- 3:19Speaker 3: West Side in a water tower. It's a male, female,
- 3:22Speaker 3: and at least two chicks, maybe three. It's still unclear
- 3:24Speaker 3: because they're small. On recent evenings, growing crowds of birders
- 3:28Speaker 3: have been gathering at a couple locations along Central Park West,
- 3:31Speaker 3: looking up binoculars. They're around 75th Street. Okay. Okay. The
- 3:35Speaker 3: guy across the street says he's going to aim cameras
- 3:38Speaker 3: at them for a live stream, which should go live
- 3:39Speaker 3: on YouTube soon. Barn owls typically live nearest to us,
- 3:43Speaker 3: would be in Jamaica Bay. In Staten Island, but never
- 3:46Speaker 3: in Manhattan.
- 3:46Speaker 1: The water towers that we have here kind of look
- 3:49Speaker 1: like barns, don't they, with the shingles?
- 3:50Speaker 3: Oh, that's true, that's true.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So maybe they're a little confused.
- 3:52Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But there's no eaves. Where do you hide?
- 3:55Speaker 3: They're right at the base of it, the picture. So
- 3:57Speaker 3: this story I'm pulling from the New York Times.
- 3:59Speaker 1: That's a beautiful owl, by the way.
- 4:00Speaker 3: They're beautiful. So barn owls are the ones that have
- 4:03Speaker 3: the giant white faces that look like a dish. Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Different than flocco and all that kind of stuff. But
- 4:08Speaker 3: whenever we have a bird around here, people get really
- 4:11Speaker 3: excited about it. So new barn owls, if you want to.
- 4:13Speaker 3: You know, take a look out there, 75th Street near
- 4:15Speaker 3: Central Park.
- 4:16Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
- 4:21Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. Good morning.
- 4:23Speaker 2: It is Jack and Nina, Columbus Day. Getting your day started.
- 4:27Speaker 2: If you have to get up and do something.
- 4:30Speaker 1: We did.
- 4:32Speaker 3: What is considered rude these days?
- 4:34Speaker 2: You know, I've been thinking a lot about that because
- 4:38Speaker 2: I seem to think, as you get older, that everyone
- 4:40Speaker 2: is getting ruder.
- 4:41Speaker 3: No one has manners anymore?
- 4:42Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
- 4:45Speaker 1: You know what? People are shocked if I hold the
- 4:47Speaker 1: door open for them.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Oh.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Men and women. I mean, if I'm there and they're
- 4:50Speaker 1: right behind me, I'll hold the door.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I get so annoyed when people don't hold the door.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Especially if you're going in a store. Or if they
- 4:55Speaker 3: don't say anything. and someone lets the door flap right
- 4:58Speaker 3: in your face, goodness gracious, you couldn't have held the door.
- 5:01Speaker 3: So according to Generational Etiquette, a survey of different generations,
- 5:07Speaker 3: Gen X, Millennials, Boomers, Gen Z all have different ideas
- 5:10Speaker 3: about manners, what offends them. Gen Z, the ultimate offense
- 5:16Speaker 3: is being fake or calling without texting first.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Is that a thing for your kids?
- 5:23Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely.
- 5:24Speaker 3: For friends that I have in their 30s, I always text.
- 5:26Speaker 1: First before I call them. I notice my friends are
- 5:28Speaker 1: doing that now. Are you available?
- 5:30Speaker 3: I do it to some people and some I don't,
- 5:32Speaker 3: but the younger the person, the more I do the
- 5:35Speaker 3: text first.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I don't text my wife first, but that never goes
- 5:38Speaker 1: to that.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Well, it's your wife. Millennials seem to view rudeness as
- 5:42Speaker 3: disrespecting their time and expecting them to answer work messages
- 5:46Speaker 3: after hours.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I'm agreeing with all of these so far.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I have adopted a policy. I don't respond to
- 5:52Speaker 3: work emails occasionally. except for an emergency, on Sundays and Saturdays.
- 5:57Speaker 1: That's a good idea.
- 5:58Speaker 3: But you're here. You're at work. But sometimes, you know,
- 6:02Speaker 3: just someone will email you something that's so useless. Why
- 6:05Speaker 3: am I?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Oh, no, I don't respond to them.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? I am here, but
- 6:08Speaker 3: I don't count that.
- 6:09Speaker 1: That doesn't include our producer, Kristen, though.
- 6:11Speaker 3: No.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Just in case.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I know she's listening, so we absolutely top to bottom.
- 6:19Speaker 3: There's a few people.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I even read your signature every single time you send
- 6:22Speaker 1: us something.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Gen X values efficiency and directness, so Gen X doesn't
- 6:26Speaker 3: like over-explaining. They don't like unnecessary meetings or over-sharing with
- 6:31Speaker 3: emotional stories.
- 6:32Speaker 1: I'm going to wrap all of this up in one
- 6:34Speaker 1: neat package. What I find.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Rude are people more selfish, self-centered people. All of these
- 6:41Speaker 2: things are about thinking of yourself first.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Sure.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Are they not? All of them is thinking of you
- 6:47Speaker 1: first and not the other person.
- 6:49Speaker 3: That's just a bad habit in general. Or that's the
- 6:51Speaker 3: way people are though now, right?
- 6:53Speaker 1: But that's sad, isn't it?
- 6:54Speaker 3: Everybody's waiting to talk instead of listening. I find that
- 6:56Speaker 3: to be true. You're telling a story and then they
- 6:59Speaker 3: jump in and then they keep going with their story
- 7:01Speaker 3: and it's like, Can we just finish what we're doing here?
- 7:04Speaker 3: And finally, I just want to get to boomers, by
- 7:05Speaker 3: the way, because my dad falls in this category. Boomers
- 7:08Speaker 3: are most likely to see people as rude if they
- 7:11Speaker 3: don't do handshakes, phone calls, or formal introductions. My dad
- 7:15Speaker 3: has had it with his nieces and nephews who don't
- 7:18Speaker 3: call him on holidays anymore.
- 7:19Speaker 1: They should.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Because he's the last of, he's like the top tier
- 7:22Speaker 3: of the family now.
- 7:23Speaker 1: He's the guy.
- 7:24Speaker 3: They don't call, he's like, I'm not calling them anymore.
- 7:26Speaker 3: That's my dad. Perfect.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He's right.
- 7:29Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
- 7:33Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
- 7:34Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. It is Jack and Nina.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Thanks for having us on. And of course, we've got,
- 7:40Speaker 2: you know, I didn't realize, I forgot that it rained
- 7:43Speaker 2: last year as well. But the rain's going to stop,
- 7:47Speaker 2: and we're going to have a parade.
- 7:48Speaker 3: It rained out the Columbus Day Parade, yes, last year.
- 7:51Speaker 3: So this is the 82nd, but does that mean only because...
- 7:55Speaker 3: Did they count last year? Do they count if they
- 7:57Speaker 3: don't have them? It's still Columbus Day. You just don't
- 7:59Speaker 3: have the parade. So I don't know how that works.
- 8:01Speaker 3: But maybe they save money that way. They can keep
- 8:02Speaker 3: the banners, right? You have the 82nd last year and
- 8:04Speaker 3: this is the 82nd this year because it got canceled.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Well, that would be like, all right, if I forgot
- 8:08Speaker 2: to get my wife an anniversary card, does it mean
- 8:10Speaker 2: that next year.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It's the same anniversary?
- 8:12Speaker 3: That does not. That does not mean the same thing.
- 8:15Speaker 3: There is definitely a difference.
- 8:17Speaker 1: It's the 82nd parade. It would be. The 82nd annual parade.
- 8:23Speaker 3: I don't know if that makes a distinction either. Anyway,
- 8:25Speaker 3: it's today.
- 8:26Speaker 1: We're both stumped on this.
- 8:27Speaker 3: It's today. It starts at 1130, goes to about 3
- 8:31Speaker 3: o'clock Fifth Avenue from 44th to 72nd Streets. It's always
- 8:34Speaker 3: a big deal. Celebrating Italian-Americans. You're half Italian, right? I am.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Your mother's side is Italian?
- 8:40Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Because Cradiville is not Italian.
- 8:42Speaker 1: No, it's not. Not at all. But they got together and,
- 8:46Speaker 1: you know, had me.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Look at you. And look at you now.
- 8:50Speaker 1: I think I got more of the Italian vibe.
- 8:53Speaker 3: You feel more Italian to me most of the time
- 8:55Speaker 3: whatever that means.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah really I don't even know what that.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Means touching while I'm not even looking Mort.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect
- 9:07Speaker 4: next on Light.
- 9:08Speaker 2: FM 106.7 Light FM it's Jack and Nina good morning
- 9:11Speaker 2: thank you for having us on and how often do
- 9:16Speaker 2: you call your mom.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Your dad this is a Dear Abby question we're going
- 9:19Speaker 3: to go right to this so this comes from Dear
- 9:21Speaker 3: Abby which is still going A woman says she talks
- 9:24Speaker 3: with her grown daughter every day. Okay. On her way
- 9:27Speaker 3: to work and again at night. So they call each
- 9:29Speaker 3: other twice a day, or she calls her daughter twice
- 9:31Speaker 3: a day. And the fiancé of this daughter says, it's
- 9:34Speaker 3: too much. Okay. You should be spending more time talking
- 9:36Speaker 3: with your family and your kids. And the mother writes,
- 9:40Speaker 3: at 25, my daughter has become my best friend. I
- 9:43Speaker 3: don't agree that it's weird. I believe mothers and daughters
- 9:45Speaker 3: who are close do this. They talk at least once
- 9:47Speaker 3: a day. I'm very lucky. I help her with decisions.
- 9:51Speaker 3: We talk about everything. Seems like a lot.
- 9:54Speaker 1: It does.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Not to be judgy. No, it doesn't. But I'm going
- 9:56Speaker 3: to judge. It seems like a lot.
- 9:59Speaker 1: No, I think. well, there's two things going on.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I think mothers and daughters have somewhat times a closer relationship.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I also think now that everybody has a phone, you
- 10:10Speaker 2: have access to call and speak every day.
- 10:12Speaker 1: It's more often.
- 10:13Speaker 3: How often do your daughter and.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Our daughter lives with us, so it's every damn day.
- 10:19Speaker 1: So let's just get that out of the way.
- 10:21Speaker 2: No, we love her very much and she's welcome to stay.
- 10:27Speaker 2: My wife reaches out to my son every day.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Really?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:30Speaker 2: They have themselves on like that Apple thing where you
- 10:34Speaker 2: know where somebody is.
- 10:34Speaker 1: So she'll look to see if he's at work.
- 10:37Speaker 3: My nephew actually wants me. He's like, you should look
- 10:39Speaker 3: and see where I am. I've set you up on
- 10:41Speaker 3: your phone so you can do that. I don't want
- 10:42Speaker 3: to know where he is.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Well, then he knows where you are.
- 10:44Speaker 3: He's not even my kid. Yeah, I don't want to
- 10:46Speaker 3: do that. I'm not into that at all.
- 10:48Speaker 1: You don't want that at all. No. You know what?
- 10:50Speaker 2: When you are establishing a relationship, like when I was
- 10:54Speaker 2: getting married to my wife and her closeness to her mom,
- 10:58Speaker 2: because she'd been living with her and used to talking
- 11:00Speaker 2: to her every day. A little separation just makes you
- 11:03Speaker 2: feel like, okay, I'm important.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Now, too. Well, that's the thing. I think the guys
- 11:07Speaker 3: feel like they're always going to be competing against the mother.
- 11:10Speaker 1: And you will be for the rest of your life.
- 11:11Speaker 3: And you probably will be.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Yeah. My husband talks to his mom a lot.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Well, that's nice that they're close.
- 11:19Speaker 3: It is lovely.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Oh, lovely.
- 11:22Speaker 3: It is lovely.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Why don't we have the cameras on you right now?
- 11:25Speaker 3: Anyway, good for them. Good for them. Let's just leave
- 11:28Speaker 3: it there.
- 11:28Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Elizabeth Taylor married eight times.
- 11:37Speaker 2: 106.7 Light FM. Maybe she should have lived with them beforehand.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Probably did.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Probably, right?
- 11:43Speaker 1: Well, married, divorced.
- 11:44Speaker 3: That I don't know. Would she have had time?
- 11:47Speaker 1: Well, she was probably canoodling before.
- 11:50Speaker 3: The last marriage was over.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 11:53Speaker 3: So what do you think about not moving in together
- 11:56Speaker 3: before marriage? It seems like now so many people just
- 11:59Speaker 3: do it. They just move in together, live together before
- 12:02Speaker 3: they get married. So a friend of mine, she's about 58,
- 12:05Speaker 3: 59 maybe. Okay. She just got married for the first time.
- 12:10Speaker 3: They live up in Connecticut and they're not moving in
- 12:12Speaker 3: together by design.
- 12:14Speaker 1: At all.
- 12:15Speaker 3: No, she has a house. She has her things. He
- 12:17Speaker 3: has his house. He has his things. And they see
- 12:20Speaker 3: each other when they want to. It's kind of like
- 12:22Speaker 3: kind of sounds like Woody Allen, actually, but we know
- 12:23Speaker 3: how that turned out.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Yeah. But what the question would be to them is
- 12:28Speaker 1: why did you get married? I maybe somebody of health
- 12:31Speaker 1: benefits here.
- 12:32Speaker 3: I don't know. Companionship.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Joan always separate houses.
- 12:36Speaker 3: She's always wanted to be married. She has a son. Okay.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Who's in college now, but she never was married.
- 12:42Speaker 1: How far apart are the houses?
- 12:44Speaker 3: About 30 minutes. Not super close.
- 12:47Speaker 1: No, you cannot walk there.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. So this actually goes beyond the question, like,
- 12:53Speaker 3: after marriage, would you not live together? That would be
- 12:55Speaker 3: okay for me, I think, at some point in my life. Oh,
- 12:58Speaker 3: Mark's still sleeping. I mean, I love living with my husband,
- 13:02Speaker 3: but also when they're gone, what if you had like
- 13:04Speaker 3: two nights off a week? How about that?
- 13:06Speaker 2: Well, you know, my wife and daughter are away. They
- 13:09Speaker 2: have been for the last week, and I actually.
- 13:11Speaker 3: You like it.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I used to like it more than I do now.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I kind of miss them.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Well, I find like... That's weird.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I feel really weird saying I miss them.
- 13:20Speaker 3: If someone is gone, say, three days, four days.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I find the first two days, I really enjoy it.
- 13:27Speaker 3: I do a lot of nothing. And then the projects
- 13:29Speaker 3: that I'm going to do, they sort of ramp it
- 13:30Speaker 3: up in speed in the last 24 hours.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Laundry starts piling up. But I do find there's... The
- 13:34Speaker 1: cats get hungry.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I get hungry. There's a couple of days
- 13:38Speaker 3: in there where I need to shower. There's a couple
- 13:41Speaker 3: of days in there where you sort of revert to
- 13:42Speaker 3: like teenage-ness. You know, and you just act like a
- 13:45Speaker 3: complete slob.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Yes.
- 13:46Speaker 2: And then I start feeling guilty that the place has
- 13:49Speaker 2: got to be at least fixed up before they come home.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Maybe this is why you should live with someone so
- 13:54Speaker 3: they can actually see your slob-ness. Do they want to
- 13:58Speaker 3: live with your dirty laundry and you're not showering and
- 14:00Speaker 3: your dirty hair in the morning? That's probably what that's about, right?
- 14:04Speaker 1: I think so.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:05Speaker 2: You know, I do think you probably, my opinion, I
- 14:10Speaker 2: know that some people don't think it's the right thing
- 14:12Speaker 2: to do, but You really should know each other if
- 14:15Speaker 2: you're going to commit.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Forever and ever.
- 14:17Speaker 3: You would know.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I would know.
- 14:19Speaker 3: You would know.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Committed three times.
- 14:21Speaker 3: The last one is a winner.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I should be committed.
- 14:25Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.

- 18:01Speaker 3: Well, you blow them. Are they the ones that actually
- 18:03Speaker 3: just blow, or are they just the sugar sticks?
