- 0:09Speaker 1: Are they doing the PLAQU presentation with you today?
- 0:11Speaker 2: Christian? No?
- 0:12Speaker 1: Wait, did I ruin that?
- 0:15Speaker 2: Well, they're not doing the PLAQU presentations.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Should we explain to the people what's going on?
- 0:20Speaker 2: I think you have to do? Yeah, bring us up
- 0:21Speaker 2: to speed. It was a surprise. This was a big
- 0:24Speaker 2: surprise for me.
- 0:25Speaker 1: So it was about nine forty five yesterday morning and
- 0:29Speaker 1: we're all hanging out in the studio about to wrap
- 0:30Speaker 1: up things, and our fine boss, Jill Kempton comes in
- 0:35Speaker 1: and she says hi to everybody, and then she goes
- 0:38Speaker 1: to your side of the room of the studio and says, Hey,
- 0:42Speaker 1: just want you to know tomorrow you might have a
- 0:44Speaker 1: picture two take in with Steve Dellisant, you know, our president. Yeah,
- 0:48Speaker 1: to give you your thirtieth anniversary at work and plaque. Yes,
- 0:53Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary plaque, which I.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Took me by surprise because I didn't expect that at all.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, and then in the back of my mind,
- 1:01Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I've been here thirty years too. I
- 1:06Speaker 1: didn't get a plaque, and my thirtieth anniversary was April.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Now I thought about not saying anything, but then I thought, Christine,
- 1:12Speaker 1: she's like my sister. She's cool like that, So I said,
- 1:16Speaker 1: I said exactly what I just said. I don't mean
- 1:18Speaker 1: to steal Christine's thunder, but I don't have a plaque,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and Jill goes, you don't. When did you start? I said,
- 1:27Speaker 1: April nineteen ninety six.
- 1:28Speaker 2: He was like three months on me.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and you started in June. So again, I'm not
- 1:34Speaker 1: trying to stir the pot. But I thought to myself, well,
- 1:37Speaker 1: you know what about me? And then I feel like
- 1:40Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that because everyone felt awkward at
- 1:43Speaker 1: that point.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Well that's when Jill said, oh, okay, cancel your plaque tomorrow, Christine.
- 1:48Speaker 1: That's right, she said, we will just forget the pictures. No,
- 1:51Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you can still do your thing. I'm
- 1:53Speaker 1: not trying to steal anybody's thunder. You could still do yours,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and you know, just do mine a couple of months.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I don't care. Do mine next year, but don't take
- 2:01Speaker 1: it away from you. But now it's becoming a thing
- 2:04Speaker 1: where they want us to kind of just do it
- 2:06Speaker 1: all together.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Well, first of all, it was like an incredible surprise,
- 2:10Speaker 2: and it was really nice to be acknowledged because I
- 2:13Speaker 2: didn't expect that at all, and Jill was just she
- 2:17Speaker 2: was being considerate and in that she wanted me to
- 2:19Speaker 2: have a heads up so I would come in dressed
- 2:21Speaker 2: because she knows how I am about pictures. Yeah, because
- 2:25Speaker 2: so yeah, so you know.
- 2:27Speaker 1: We're not dressed for TV all the time.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Not even shows. Yeah, So that's why she was letting
- 2:33Speaker 2: me know. Otherwise I wouldn't have known like that a
- 2:35Speaker 2: plaque was even head in my direction.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Well, so it was bothering me so much that I
- 2:39Speaker 1: didn't want you to think I was trying to like
- 2:41Speaker 1: disrupt your moment. So I texted Jill our boss. I said,
- 2:45Speaker 1: please let Christine have her plaque moment tomorrow, just her.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You can do mine whenever. I just want her to
- 2:51Speaker 1: have her own celebration. And then Jill wrote, We're gonna
- 2:53Speaker 1: postpone it. You can each have your own moment. But
- 2:57Speaker 1: that was a mistake on our part. She said, we
- 3:00Speaker 1: will celebrate soon. We should have we uh, we would
- 3:04Speaker 1: have done the same if the roles were reversed, Sorry again, Cubby,
- 3:07Speaker 1: she'd have to say sorry. I wrote to her, It's
- 3:09Speaker 1: totally okay. Just don't want Christine to feel I was
- 3:12Speaker 1: stealing her spotlight. Thank you for dealing with us sensitive
- 3:15Speaker 1: radio people, and she went, ha ha ha, no way.
- 3:18Speaker 1: You both deserve to be recognized. And it's so cool
- 3:21Speaker 1: you've made it thirty years in New York City. Incredible.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So that's where we're am right now.
- 3:24Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
- 3:25Speaker 1: But should I have just kept my mouth shut?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Though? No, you of course you should have said something.
- 3:29Speaker 2: But yeah, but I did also get a response. Well,
- 3:33Speaker 2: I didn't text Jill. She just texted me, oh okay
- 3:35Speaker 2: on the way home, and she wrote, she wrote, Hi, Christine,
- 3:39Speaker 2: so sorry, but because of Cubby, you're not getting a plaque.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Come on, Oh thank goodness. You're kidding. Oh my gosh.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Should I be hanging over my head for years? No o,
- 3:49Speaker 1: she was kidding.
- 3:50Speaker 2: She just said postponing tomorrow, but we will celebrate you
- 3:52Speaker 2: both individually. I think so your point was because Jill said, okay,
- 3:57Speaker 2: let's wait and let's get both your plaques and present
- 3:59Speaker 2: them together, and you were saying, we don't need that,
- 4:02Speaker 2: let's keep it separate.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Keep it separate.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Yeah, because okay, either way is really really nice. I
- 4:08Speaker 2: appreciate it, honestly did not in a million years expected,
- 4:12Speaker 2: So thank you.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And tomorrow is another anniversary, seven years of you and
- 4:16Speaker 1: I as a morning show at LIGHTFM.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Oh well that should have a plaque.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Yeah, another plaque and trophies and parties. All right, Well,
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm glad we're all cool with the plaque situation. We
- 4:27Speaker 1: got some cool things lined up for you next on LIGHTFM.
