  Speaker 2: Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen. Monday, September 28th. Thank you for
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: waking up with us. The Nor'easter kind of winding down,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: but we still have rain and mist until about 2
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: or 3 o'clock this afternoon. Then it should be just
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: dry by late afternoon. Maybe some sun tomorrow. Actually, definitely
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: some sun tomorrow.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But, man. What a weekend.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Would you say it was as advertised?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I think for the coastal sections, yeah, there was some flooding.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you that I was looking out
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the window over the weekend and there were times I
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: was like, well, it's just a rainy day. Kind of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: like I said last week. But then a big gust
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: would come like, all right, that's that's a nor'easter right there.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: OK. But for the most part, I felt like just
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a rainy blah weekend. I don't know about you. Did
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you watch a lot of TV? Did you catch up
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on anything?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: No, not a lot of TV. I just didn't. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: did cancel plans, though. You know, and then I was
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: like you. I'm kind of looking out the window. I'm like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: should I cut? I could have gone or, you know.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of things were canceled. Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Every it felt like everything was every concert was canceled.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We had friends going to ACDC on Friday. That was canceled.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, Global Citizen Festival on Saturday was canceled.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: My friends were going to see Ringo Starr and friends.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: That was canceled.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: That was canceled.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So I was supposed to do an event actually today
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: at a golf outing and that was postponed, not canceled, postponed.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to have another date for that. But yeah,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: it was just one of those weekends where you wanted
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to just be in bed all day.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I tell you, speaking of the weather, I got to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: stop being cocky because not only was I cocky last
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: week with the football picks and I was wrong, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I was cocky a couple of weeks ago about how
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We may not have another 80 degree day for the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: rest of the season.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Oops.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Or the rest of the year. There is a forecast
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for Thursday that has 80 in New York City.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm hoping it hits 79.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping for 79.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: What about our clothing? Most of us, I can't tell
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: you how many of my friends I heard from are like,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I'm going to switch the clothes over this weekend. I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: going to clear out closets because it was that kind
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: of weekend. So now we've swapped everything out. So here
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: comes 80 degrees.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Have you done the flip?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of the flip.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you can go either way then.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: If it does hit 80, you have the clothes readily available.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I do have options available.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: But most people have done the complete flip. Right. So
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: now we're stuck.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Just get out the Christmas stuff and get out the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: winter stuff. Let's just get it over with. Let's just go.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Let's just go. Winter time, baby. Coming up, we got
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: two pretty cool things. It's Monday. It's Light FM. Thank
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you for waking up with us.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I need to tell you two things.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Covey and Christine's.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Two pretty cool things.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Christine, you probably know this, but on Thursday, it's International
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Coffee Day.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, I did not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So I found a fun coffee fact. The first webcam
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: actually was watching a coffee pot. Researchers at Cambridge set
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: up a camera in 1991 so they could check the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Trojan Room coffee pot without leaving their desks. The images
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: became available on the web in 1993, creating the very
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: first webcam. Now, in 2001, the longest-serving pot was auctioned
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: off on eBay... For $ 5, 000, that pot that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Was being seen on the webcam.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Five grand back in 2001.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What a great idea. You know, we could put a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: little camera.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Keep an eye on our coffee.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: At your desk. Yeah. Because we have an old school.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the old school potted coffee on the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: fifth floor? They have an old school one. Uh-huh.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Where you don't have to like put a K-cup in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: or anything.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, like a real pot of coffee.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So you really have to watch it and see when
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it's ready. Oh, I love those.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: It just tastes really good. Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: What's your cool thing?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Well, these are for our Costco friends. Cubby, producer Kristen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to you. Their famous food court churro is back.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: After more than two years off the menu, it's a
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: foot-long twisted churro rolling out nationwide for a limited time, kids,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: for $ 1. 49, which makes it cheaper than their double chocolate
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: chunk cookie that replaced it in 2024. The churro is
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: warm cinnamon sugar. and it should be at your location
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: within the next couple of weeks. Some fans are already
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: pairing it with the food court's soft serve for an
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: extra cheap churro sundae.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The Costco food people are really breaking this down.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: They know what to do with it, yes.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: All right, two pretty cool things right here on Light FM.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Mort Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Light FM, hope you had a great, safe weekend.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you're inside most of the weekend, but some people
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: were out and about. They had to do things. We
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: were avoiding murder at our house all weekend long.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: That sounds intense.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The Bryant family avoiding murder.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You know, my wife is really good at finding things
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on Facebook Marketplace.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: She'll find something that is a great price. Either Miles
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: wants it, like it could be, for example, a great
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Cars costume.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know the movie Cars?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Miles wants to be McQueen. How cute.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And she found a great costume on Marketplace for like
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: five bucks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And there's a really hot item that kids want these
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: days called Neetos.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: They're like squishies.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's so simple, but they're hot. And so we found
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: some neatoes. So basically, we spent Saturday and a little
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: bit of Sunday. Coco, my wife, would say, all right,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: put this address in your GPS.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We're going here. And we had amazing pickups.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Whoa. Everything was fine. The one pickup that didn't follow
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: through was kind of shady. The person already had a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: 2.6 ranking, Christine. That wasn't a good sign.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Out of five?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think five. My wife is on it more, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I think, is it five, Kristen, on the Facebook marketplace?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Is that your highest rating?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We'll go with five. 2.6, I think, was our rating.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: It doesn't sound great.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the comments underneath this woman was
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: flaky and didn't get what I asked for and blah, blah, blah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Yikes.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: So we were communicating with this woman. I forgot what
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the item was, but it was something for the kids.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And she said, okay, between 12 and 1, you can
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: pick it up. and so we're on the way. It's 12.05,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and the woman says, do you need my address?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We're like, of course. We're close.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So she gave us the address. Right there, that's a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: bold move. She's showing that she trusts us.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: You're not meeting in a parking lot.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Right, right. We're going to her apartment complex, apparently, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we're on the way.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: We're five minutes away, and then this woman sends my
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: wife a message saying, hey, can I get your phone number?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And my wife was like, I don't mind, but why
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: do you need my phone number? And she said, well,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I want to message you. And then my wife says,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: but we're messaging now here.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Right. On Facebook Messenger.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: She thought that was kind of weird. And like 10
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: minutes went by and we're getting closer to the house.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden we get a Facebook message.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And the woman says to my wife, can't find what
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you need.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And then my wife goes, okay, cool. She was going
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to go, but why? Yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll find another item. Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But it was.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Very weird how we were that close. She gave us
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the address. Everything was moving along nicely. And just because
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: my wife wouldn't.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Give her her phone number, they were messaging fine on
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Facebook Messenger.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And then boom. And then we were like, well, maybe
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that's why she had a 2.6 rating.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Flaky. Flaky. It always feels a little risky, doesn't it?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It feels a little like just a tad bit dangerous.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You get butterflies. Yeah. And I had a transaction happen
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: last week in a parking lot.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I did it. Remember I talked about that? Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I did a pickup for my wife in Perth Amboy
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: at a Taco Bell parking lot. And I was a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: little nervous because the person was coming.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: They pulled up. They were super cool. The guy had
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: his work ID on around his neck. He was just dropping,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, just making some money. We're getting our stuff.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: You guys have to trust each other. I told you
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: my friend and Sayre took Eric one time for one
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of these excursions. Right. She had something on Facebook marketplace
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: that was. close to where we live as opposed to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: where she lives.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So Eric was like the safety man? Yeah, yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: She didn't want to go alone, which I don't blame
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: her because she's going to somebody's house. But it turned
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: out when she got to the house, it was just
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: one elderly lady. It was fine.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Usually, 99% of the time, it's fine.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It was okay. But Eric was there as a backup,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: as a buffer, just in case.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I'm curious.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Look, if you could hit us up on text at 44363,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: any strange Facebook marketplace or It's not just Facebook Marketplace.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can do anything really online.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, I tried to do furniture on there, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: people flaked out every single time.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, you told me you're looking for a dresser.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Now we're looking for a dresser, yes. If you guys
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: see a nice dresser for Eric, that would be great.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Are you going to pick it up?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: We'll pick it up.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: But selling it, I found, was a little tough.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like I was trying to sell furniture and that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: involves somebody. Somebody's got to pick it up because it's
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a big piece.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And they want to come inside and see it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Before.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Usually if you can get it done outside.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's better. All right, we want to hear from you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on text. It's Light FM coming right back.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Would you pay for this? It's 106.7 Light FM. Cubby, Christine,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: producer Kristen.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: We are free, by the way. This radio is free.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: But we're talking Instagram here.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yes. And they have a thing you can now add on.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Instagram Plus.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: All right, so here we go. For $ 3. 99 a month,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: if you love Instagram, this new feature includes... extending 24-hour
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: stories to stay visible for longer and pushing them to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the top of users' feeds, alongside expressive reactions so friends
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: can show extra support and direct messages. The new story
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: rewatch count feature shows how many times your story was replayed,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: while the search viewer sheet lets you check if a
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: specific person saw your post.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, so I can see if.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Christine Nagy has seen my story multiple times.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Just search to see if I... Right. Story Preview lets
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: users look at someone's story without showing up on their
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: viewer list, so you can cloak yourself and go check
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: out stories. There's also features that help hide actions from
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: other users, including posting to your profile or highlights without
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: showing up in friends' feeds. Okay. So if you want
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to hide from somebody. Then there's this other feature. We're
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: still talking about Instagram and how, you know, we've got
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: an Instagram official and people are doing the hard launch
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: because you're a couple now. Well, now they're doing a
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: soft launch. So you can post a picture with your partner,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: but blur out their face.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: So it's a soft launch. They said you can blur
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: out the entire person if you want. It's becoming a
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: little trendy when people are starting relationships now to just
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: show like a hand or a shadow of somebody or,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you know, The profile, but we don't quite see the face.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So now you could take a full-on picture, but just
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: blur that person.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And then eventually a big reveal.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then they'll be revealed when you guys are settled in.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Christine.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Would you pay $ 3. 99 for the things that you mentioned,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: like longer stories, being pushed up on someone's algorithm?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: No. Yeah, I don't know.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: No, the blur feature I think is free, but the rest, $ 3. 99. $ 3. 99. No,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: because another monthly fee. I'm so tired of monthly fees.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're not kidding.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: For everything.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Streaming services and all kinds of things.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Everything. Even like my car now. My app to talk
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to my car. That used to be free, but that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: ran out. Oh, you pay for that? $ 10 a month.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Do you ever go through your subscriptions on your phone?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I should because I know I'm wasting money.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes you'll sign up for a free trial and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you'll forget about it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. And then they get you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And I think I double pay for some of my
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: streaming services because... Because, you know, like I pay for
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Hulu and I also pay for Disney, but now Disney
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and Hulu are a package.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And like you had it way before they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: became a thing together. And so you're paying both separately. Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You need to look into that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I need an accountant.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Just for your streaming service.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Just for this. Yeah.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Follow us, by the way.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: How about a shameless plug? You can follow me on Instagram,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Paul Cubby Bryant. One long word, Paul Cubby Bryant. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: how about you, Miss Nagy?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: The Christine Nagy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: N-A-G-Y for the last name. Christine with a C-H. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: producer Kristen.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Although she can't talk.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: She is here every day producing our show and doing
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: fine things. And again, she's producer Kristen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yes. With a K.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: She's with a K. I'm a C-H.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: For the Christine Nagy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. There we go. What do you have
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: coming up in the news?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Let's check out the headlines, Cubby. And when you're thinking
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: about seeing a movie, do you listen to a critic
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: or television? Do you really go to Instagram and see
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: what people are saying?
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Morning, Christine.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And good morning, Cubby. And yes, the rain hit hard,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: especially the coastlines. Monmouth County was hit very hard. Bradley
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Beach in particular in New Jersey. So the rain is
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: supposed to clear out of here late this afternoon into
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the evening. We should finally be seeing a break from that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Iran's foreign minister says his country is, quote, fully prepared
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: for more war. This was during an appearance on Meet
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the Press, but said also that they are open to diplomacy.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: The two giant pandas that were promised by Chinese President
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Xi have arrived in the U.S. This is Pingping and Fushuang.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: They were welcomed to the zoo in Atlanta on Sunday.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: They'll have to remain in quarantine for about a month
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: before we get to see them, but I'm sure they
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: are prepared. Absolutely adorable.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: But jet-lagged, man.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: But jet-lagged, yeah. Give them a little time to get
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: it together. Tonight's Power Bowl drawing is worth $ 389 million.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: If you took one lump sum, if you're the winner,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that's $ 162 million for you.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That'll pay some bills.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: That would be so nice. What a relief. Sports, baseball,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Mets lost to the Nationals 6-4 last game of the season.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Yankees played the Red Sox tomorrow, Game 1 of the
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Wild Card Series. WNBA Liberty beat the Lynx 91-75 in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: their first game of the playoffs. Football Jets lost to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: the Lions 31-24. Giants beat the Titans 12-7. Tonight the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Eagles will play the Bears. And in our survivor pool,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: we're all even. One strike against all of us because, Cubby,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: that was Thursday night football, right?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Thursday night I was wrong and you guys were right
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: We survived. Kristen and I survived. Bills beat the Chargers.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Chiefs beat the Dolphins. And finally, when you're about to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: check out a movie or you're looking for something to
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: watch on Netflix, do you go to the critics or
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: do you go to social?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Because when it comes to entertainment recommendations, a new poll
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: says Americans are twice as likely to trust some random
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: social media user over professional critics right now.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I look at the stars, too, or the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes. I check that a lot.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I check that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I notice like influencers influence me when it
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: comes to that stuff. Like I see what they like
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: and they don't. Research has discovered that only 9% of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: us check out critics for advice on what to watch, read,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: or play.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And this is kind of backtracking a bit. It's a
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: little off topic, but it happened over the weekend.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I thought of you, Christine.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I was going to check out a movie on Amazon Prime,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and it was going to cost $ 8.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And again, Amazon Prime. I have a Prime membership. Why
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: am I paying for a 30-year-old movie?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I know. It's annoying, isn't it? Why? I know out
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: of principle we don't do it a lot, too.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Amazon, hook us up, man. We're paying a bunch. Give
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: us a free movie. I want to see 16 Candles.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Is that what you wanted to see?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Aw. It was, you know, 40 years old, actually.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Go to YouTube or something. You can somehow find it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And get a grainy copy.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Mort Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: What do you got on Britney, Christine?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It's 106.7 Light FM. She knows everything about every artist
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: because you study.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: All this stuff. Just, you know... Wikipedia in my head
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: right here. You are a walking Wikipedia.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Now, there is an anonymous source that is saying Sydney
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Sweeney has emerged as the leading contender to star in
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the Britney Spears biopic. So if you haven't heard, Wicked
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: director John M. Chu has developed the film for years
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: since Britney published her memoir, The Woman in Me, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: her involvement has wavered and delayed the project. But right
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: now it's set to be moving forward again. And talk is,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: it would be Sydney Sweeney. Other contenders were, or still are,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Millie Bobby Brown and Addison Rae.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You know, whenever I hear Brittany's name mentioned, I think
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: about how good she used to smell. I don't know
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: if she still smells good, but, you know, we've interviewed
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: her a million times. I know this is a random thing,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: but she always had on the perfect perfume.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Did she?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And that leads me into, if Brittany smells good, what
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: do you think the best smelling city in America is?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Do you know they did a whole study?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: The best smelling city. It's not always like the first
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: thing we notice, right? When you go to a city.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: New York in the summer, walking past a subway stop
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: in the rain.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Bottom of the barrel.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: But a new study finds Boston is the best smelling U.S.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: City.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: And how do you determine which is the best smelling
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: city in America without traveling to every street for a
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: quick whiff? The study looked at a range of factors
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: from cleanliness, air quality, to garbage disposal satisfaction. And an
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: abundance of green spaces.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. So Boston is number one.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Smells the best in America.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Congratulations, Boston.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Number two, Washington, D.C. Number three, San Francisco. You know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you got that nice Pacific air always blowing. Oh, that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: fresh air. Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Keep blowing that fresh air. Seattle's number four. Philadelphia is
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: number five and the best smelling city in America. We
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: got Portland, Oregon at number six. So you have a
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: lot of the west coasts. Because they have that fresh.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Air coming in. Yeah, they've got better odds than we do.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Denver, Colorado is number seven. Baltimore is number eight. Detroit
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: is number nine. And number 10, Las Vegas, best smelling
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: city in America.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: No New York.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just said, you know, that fragrant subway smell
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: where people have, I've seen, relieved themselves.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, it happens. Yeah. I think summer has killed our ranking.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe New York is top 10 in the winter. But
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: in the summer, no.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: In the summer. Yeah, it's a whole different story.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: We've got a trivia battle coming up next on Light FM.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Mort Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Next on Light FM.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: All right, before we get to a trivia battle, some
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: feel-good news out of Staten Island.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: This is so wonderful to talk about a couple that's
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: giving back and giving back to the community. Richard and
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Lois Nikotra. Nicotra. Richard and Lois Nicotra. I want to
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: get their name right because what they're doing is incredible.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: They own and operate hotels, restaurants and office parks right
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: in Staten Island. And they are on a mission to
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: pour their profits directly back into the community. They recently
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: gave away more than eight hundred thousand dollars to local schools,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: veteran groups, charities, declaring that giving money away is way
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: more fun than making it. On top of handing out
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: cash grants and giving $ 1, 000 to every local elementary school,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: a couple is sending hundreds of middle school kids to
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: see Hamilton on Broadway. They're covering the cost of the tickets,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the buses, even t-shirts for them. Since 2011, Richard and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Lois have given away $ 4. 2 million to charity groups and
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: scholarship recipients, and this latest donation will give a big
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: boost to hundreds of students just as the new school
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: year gets rolling. It gives them something to look forward to.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Giving makes you feel good. But $ 4. 2 million giving makes
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you feel amazing.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Just incredible. That's wonderful of them. Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Now you can win something for free. If you're one
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of our two contestants, 1-800-222-1067. But only one can win,
• 20:13

  Speaker 4: Light FM's Trivia Battle.

  Speaker 2: for a trivia battle. And on Team Cubby, Jessica from
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Long Island. And Jessica, is it true you've played a

  Speaker 2: few times and never won?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't gotten in in a while.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: But probably about my third attempt.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe third time's a charm. Who is Jessica's competition, Christine?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: We have Megan, also from Long Island. Good morning, Megan.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: How are you? Doing well. How about you? How's the commute, okay?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Excellent.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I'm on my way to teach these students.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Can't wait.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, great. Thank you for that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, teachers. Well, Jessica, you're going to get

  Speaker 1: three questions. So will you, Megan.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And the best out of three wins our trivia battle.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Here we go, Jessica. Question number one for you. Sierra

  Speaker 2: or C, Love Island? Love Island.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Love Island.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: She said it with confidence, too. But sadly, I've got
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: to buzz you on that. Summer House is where Sierra
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Miller is.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: From, so no score.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, Megan, here we go. Taylor Swift surpassed what artist

• 21:59
  Speaker 3: award show last night? Was it A, Beyonce, B, Madonna,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: or C, Lady Gaga?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I would have to say Madonna.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Oops. No, I'm sorry. It was Beyonce.

• 22:28
  Speaker 2: or C, Wisconsin?
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Was that a guess? Yes.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Good guess.

  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Christine, can you speak for Producer Kristen?
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Producer Kristen has chosen the number 53. 53? which means
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Megan is the winner because, Megan, you're the school teacher.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: We had to do a little quick math, but you're
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: the winner.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. I know that I won, but I'd love to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: give my winnings to Jessica because she tried three times. Oh,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: my goodness. I just feel like in a given mood.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that worked out. You don't have
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to do that. Nah, that's for you, girl. Teachers love everybody,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and we support everybody, and I love what you guys
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: do on the radio, so I'd be more than happy
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to give it to her. So if you can give
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it to her, that'd be great.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Okay. Alright, Megan forfeiting her prize. Moving on to Jessica. Megan,

• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, Christine, the DVR and our remote
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: control in general was getting a workout last night.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a busy night.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I had football on. Yeah. Then I went to the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: DVR and caught SNL. Because I didn't see it Saturday.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Jay Brunson hosting.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Jay Brunson hosting of the New York Knicks.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Very funny.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend at least
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: watching the monologue. The monologue was very funny. And they
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: had a couple of great skits as well. Then we
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: switched over to the MTV Video Music Awards. And that's
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: where we kind of like, you and I at the
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: same time started watching TV.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, we matched up. So we could see Madonna kick
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: off the show.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Sabrina Carpenter and Charlie XCX. And then Madonna and Taylor,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: by the way, were up for like the same amount
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: of awards, nine awards apiece or 11 awards apiece. Madonna
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: did take home Artist of the Year.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And this is her. I spent the last year and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a half finding myself, believing in myself, and really making
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the music that I wanted to make. And to me,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that really is the definition of being an artist.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: And my hope for all of you here tonight is
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: that you spend the next year or the next 10 years,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: or the rest of your life, doing the same.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Finding yourself and believing in yourself.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Madonna.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Madonna.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I tell you, she's timeless. Age has been good to her.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And Taylor also won big. It made her the artist
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: with the most VMA wins in history. She won 33.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: She's won 33 awards to date. I mean, there's still
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: plenty of time. She got that special artist director award
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the first time that anyone has received that award. She
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: also won Video of the Year, but here she is
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: accepting that special award for Artist Director. The main reason
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: why I love writing and directing music videos so much
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: is because you, the fans, make it so much fun.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: You make it so rewarding because you actually care about
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: what we're making.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I know she's proud of all of her awards, but
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: there's got to be at least a couple of awards
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that are in the basement and they're covered up by shoeboxes.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I think she has such a collection at this point.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: She's going to lose track. But yeah, and then they
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: premiered Patient Zero, the video for that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Which will play coming up as we go commercial free
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: for three hours.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Very nice.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: We're looking for caller 10 right now. 1-800-222-1067. What do
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: we have, Christine Nagy?
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: We have got a pair of tickets to see the
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Michael Jackson History Show, Saturday, October 24th at Flagstar at

  Speaker 3: Westbury Music Fair. Tickets available now at Ticketmaster.com. Or you
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: can give us a call.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I like the way they wrote it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: It says Michael Jackson history, but H-I-S is in capital.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So like his story.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: So I guess we're right either way, right?
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: His story.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: His story.
