• 1:38
  Speaker 2: They love that stuff, yeah.
• 1:39

  Speaker 1: Well, it's entirely free, once again, South Plainfield, New Jersey,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on the Lincoln Tech campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And away we go. Anything else on your mind, Christine?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm kind of looking forward and not backwards.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I am wondering if your fiancé heard our conversation about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: his texting, about how he texted the word poop.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I may have outed myself as soon as I left
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the station yesterday.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, what happened?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Remember I told you guys, well, as long as he
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't hear this because we had the text message that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: ended in, I'm not too drunk, poop. Right. And it
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: just ended poop.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And we're not sure if he meant pooped.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: What the heck was that? So I'm doing talk to
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: text in the car. And I was like, we may
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: have talked about this. We may be wondering what you meant.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And he was like, you know, like the hand smacking.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, the face plant emoji?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He was like, oh, no.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Did he mention what he meant?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he meant to say pooped. Like I'm pooped.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And that's what listeners thought.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And that's what we thought.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Matt, Matt DeFede, who's our realtor friend, said, I'm sure
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he meant pooped and the listeners. And I said, it's OK.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Everybody backed you up and they thought that's what you meant.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: But I think he's like he can't believe that we
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: discuss these things.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Because Eric doesn't wake up until like 1 p.m. He's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a drummer. He's out late. So he hardly hears our show.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And then he wakes up probably to all these messages.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He had a gig last night. I left this morning
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and I could doors closed. full-on hear the snoring through
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the door as I was leaving.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: So, yes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And by the way, last question. We have to go
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to break. Coco wanted to know if he's coming to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: touch a truck.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, I wish he was coming to touch a truck. No,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he's got the gigs in the evening.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he'll be sleeping.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And we're there at 10 in the morning.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Which is like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: For a drummer?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: 4 a.m. for him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I wish I could bring him.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll see you tomorrow, everybody. It's Light FM

• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Two pretty cool things.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Christine here. Here's a very New York way to pick
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a pumpkin. You take a ferry. Pumpkin Point returns to

• 4:33
  Speaker 1: bag for your pumpkin and then leave extra time for
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the ferry, of course. But pretty cool. It's going to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: be a beautiful weekend. Get on the ferry and head
• 4:39

  Speaker 2: A lot of fun stuff going on.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What do you have, Christine?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love this. What do dogs dream about? A
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: sleep expert says, I think I have the answer. Her
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: name is Dr. Deirdre Barrett from Harvard. She said, they're
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: dreaming about you. Because just like humans, when we go
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to sleep, we kind of are playing back the events
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of the day in our head. And she said, dogs
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: are doing the same thing. Like, that's their daily experience. So,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: She said, at the end of the day, your dog
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: is dreaming about you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I thought they were dreaming of fire hydrants.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you know how they're funny? Like sometimes they like
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: run in their sleep. You know, like you see the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: little paws go and their nose or their, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they make the little sounds. So you wonder like, yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: like are they chasing something?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So cute.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: What is going on? Cats do the same thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Now we wonder what our cats are thinking of.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know that, Archie's just dreaming about you all
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the time. Christine, yes.
• 5:37

• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Well, you're not going to be too bad. If you're
• 5:56

• 6:06
  Speaker 1: best performance among U.S. airlines and how on time they are.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And Delta Airlines is number one. Seventy seven percent of

  Speaker 1: Followed by number two, Allegiant Air, Alaska Airlines at number three.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: United Airlines number four.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That's our friend Edie, by the way. Good morning, Edie.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Edie was the one that she scared me. I thought
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I was being arrested in Newark. Oh, yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: She would have you locked up.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Because she's so nice. Because I was getting ready to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: board an airplane.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Because she's like one of our number one fans.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's so nice.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: A couple weeks ago, I'm getting ready to board a plane.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And she like, not didn't grab me, but touched my
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: shoulder as I'm giving them the gate agent my ticket.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And it went beep, beep, you know, I had beeps.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And it's just like, you know, you know, you're an aisle.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You know, you're a emergency exit. You have to confirm that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And and I'm walking on almost on the jetway. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Edie goes, come in, come in, come in.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And she was so nice. But for a minute, it
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: startled me.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I thought you were in trouble.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I was in trouble.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: She wanted to say hi because she had been in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a meeting and was trying to get to you before,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: She couldn't get to you as early as she wanted to.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Well, United Airlines, you're doing pretty good. You are number
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: four on time. American Airlines, number five. Southwest Airlines, number six.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Frontier Airlines, number seven. JetBlue is on time 59.7% of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the time. So 77% is number one, 59.7%. is number eight.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's a big difference right there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That's a big drop-off, yeah. We're doing international for United.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, tell everybody where you're going. Have you talked
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: about it on the air yet?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I haven't, because we just... Have we talked about it
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: on the air yet? We kind of did. Oh, right, right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Well, you're a travel agent.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, Kelly. We love you, Kelly. Kelly Brennan, our travel agent.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: We talked again last night, and we solidified the plan,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: so boom, it's happening. I fell in love with the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: German Christmas markets last year, so... We're going back to Cologne.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: In December. Yes. So you're flying Newark to Cologne.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Newark to, we have to go to Munich.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're changing Munich?
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And then go to Cologne. It's like Cologne. Like the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: way Americans say it, it's like Cologne.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Right, we say Cologne.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. But the airport in Munich has its
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: own Christmas market, by the way. So we have a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: big layover when we're there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember you telling me about this.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: You were wondering if maybe you could leave the airport
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: or is the Christmas market- Within the airport.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's within the airport.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to leave, go past security.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You don't have to leave, but it's like where my
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: relatives met me last year. So I'm wondering if that's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a part, like we're already checked in, you know, like
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we're We're already through security because we're transferring from one
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: flight to another.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And your luggage is moving, too.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And the luggage is moving. So are we going to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: be able to go out and play for a little bit?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm hoping maybe my relatives can meet us there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Or are we going to be like stuck at the gate?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And then we go to Cologne because it was just
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: so their Christmas markets were a dream. The Angel Market
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: is so beautiful. And then after that, we go to Vienna.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Man, that's a good trip right there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And what are you bringing us back?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: What would you guys like? What did I bring last year?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You always do good gifts.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Some chocolates. Did I bring you chocolates last year?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you did.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Kristen, I brought you, I know, the little nutcracker cup.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Because Eric and I are big fans of Glühwein. Glühwein? Yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it's mulled wine. It's hot wine.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I want.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I can't bring back that. But I can bring back
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the little mugs they come in because they're all like collectible.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Like each market has its own mug and they're just so,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: so cute.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Seriously, no pressure. But I do love alcohol if you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: can get it in here.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: You have to be there when they warm it up.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But maybe if I could bring back, I wonder if
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: they sell like the spices and you can make your own.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I'll look for it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: December, a trip to remember, it sounds like.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Harry Medved, all things movies. What's poppin' this weekend? That's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: what all the cool people say. What's poppin' this weekend
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at the box office? We're going to find out next
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: on Light FM.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Next on Light FM.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: To tell us what's new in the theaters. Good morning, Harry.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday, buddy. Good morning.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Hey, happy Friday. You know, it's always a great weekend
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: when there's something for everyone.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: What's going on? What are we going to go see
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: this weekend?
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not just one movie. That's the thing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: There's a holdover from last week, but it's expanding. It's
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: called You Can See Everything, which is true at theaters.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: You can really see everything. But this is a documentary
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: from Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys know his work. It's funny.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, Nathan's work's good. He's amazing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Sasha Baron Cohen also has a movie opening this weekend.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: No one's going to be able to see it because
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: everyone's going to see Nathan Fielder's film. And he's kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: of like, as he called him, his godson, because he's
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: an expert on this undercover comedy genre. And this is
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, a Silicon Valley inventor who
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: has 34 days left before she goes to prison. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: she invites a camera crew into her home so she
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: can tell her own side of the story. And it
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: is absolutely bonkers. It is a wild ride. The movie
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: is three hours long. You will not believe that you
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: will enjoy a documentary that's three hours long until you
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: see this film.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just stunning.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I am hearing from friends of mine who have seen
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it who think, like, this could actually win Best Picture
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: at the Oscars, that it's that good.
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: It will likely be the first documentary ever to get
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: nominated for Best Picture. Wicker is another film I would
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: highly recommend. This is a raunchy, romantic comedy fable. about
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: a fisher woman many, many years ago in a small
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: little village who is tired of everyone making fun of
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: her because she doesn't have a husband. A very small-minded town.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: And so she goes to Peter Dinklage, who plays a
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: basket weaver. And the fisher woman is played by Olivia Colman,
• 11:53

  Speaker 7: And the third one is Wildwood. Now, do you guys
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: know anything about this movie, Laika's latest stop-motion animation film?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Nothing to do with New Jersey, is it?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Wildwood, New Jersey, yes.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: No, this is Wildwood, Oregon, pretty much.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: It takes place right outside of Portland where Laika, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: animation studios, the guys who brought you Coraline, that's where
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: they're located. It's, you know, Travis Knight, the son of

  Speaker 7: Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, he started this studio
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: many years ago.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: They've been working on this film for 16 years.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: It's the longest stop-motion animated film ever, and it's probably
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: the best one ever. It is about a teenage girl
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: who is supposed to watch her little baby brother, kind
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: of like in Labyrinth, if you remember that movie with
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: Jennifer Connelly. And, of course, the little baby brother gets kidnapped.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: By a a murder of crows now i love a
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: movie where crows are the bad guys for me that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: like i'm not a big fan of crows but uh
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: they take them to this impassable wilderness where she has
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: to do battle with this uh queen played by carrie
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: mulligan and the movie is absolutely spectacular but it is
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: not for small kids um common sense media is saying
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: if you're over um 11.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: That's OK.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: But don't take little kids to see it because it's
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: pretty violent, I must say. And it's pretty dark and scary,
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: but wonderful. And it's from Fathom Entertainment. It is in
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: all theaters across the country. And I hope it does
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: really well this weekend because a fantastic film is like

  Speaker 7: 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So if you're looking for
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: something adventurous in the animation field and something really thrilling,
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: kind of like a Lord of the Rings spectacle, go
• 13:40

  Speaker 2: It sounds like we've got great choices this weekend.

• 14:35
  Speaker 2: about to become a thing of the past in New
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: York City. City Council did vote yesterday to ban the carriages.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and have them phased out by June 1st of 2028.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Despite the vote, union officials that represent drivers say they
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: plan to take the city to court over the matter.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: President Trump saying Elon Musk restored Starlink satellite service to Ukraine.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Ukrainian forces use the military version of Starlink called StarShield.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to communicate and to use drones in their war against
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Russia and reported a slowdown in their service last week
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that affected their air defense. And you'll be able to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: do some early boating starting tomorrow in New York and
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. The polls will open up, so you can
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: do that. The World Series gets underway today. Milwaukee Brewers
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: will host the Tampa Bay Rays. Game one, the first
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: pitch is at 8 o'clock tonight. Cubby, I thought you
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: might enjoy this. McDonald's is bringing back the McRib.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Starting Tuesday for a limited time. That time of season, right?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Or that time of year?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Is it usually this time of year?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Usually late October, November, they usually push it out. Of course,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in Germany, in Munich, I went to Munich with my
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: wife one time.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: It's on the menu all year round.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a reason to move there.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. I love it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to Munich. In sports hockey, Devils beat
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the Ducks 4-1. Rangers lost to the Maple Leafs 5-4.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Islanders lost to the Kings 3-2. Football, Bears beat the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Patriots 30-24. And on Sunday, Jets will play the Dolphins.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Giants will play the Texans. Our pool here, we're all
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: in on the Jets.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: All in on the Jets, yeah. Wow.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And the most dangerous leftover that you probably have, and
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: we do, in your refrigerator right now is leftover rice.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Now, how is it dangerous?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Rice is a breeding ground for bacteria. What makes it
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: so full of bacteria, like such a hotbed for bacterial growth,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: is that it contains a lot of starch. It doesn't
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: contain much protein, which means it's an ideal for home
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: for health-threatening bacteria. So a tip, cook only what you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: want so you don't have any leftovers to spoil. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I guess if it's leftover, get it in the fridge, like, immediately,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: but can't hang out there too long, apparently.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Good to know. I had no idea about that. I know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Mort Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Next on Light FM.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Christine, does producer Kristen need an oxygen mask? She is
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: ready for AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, and I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: think she's actually kind of nervous about this.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I think she's good. I think she can handle it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: She meets celebrities all the time.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Just say, like, I'm okay. I want to hear you talk.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Can you get air in your lungs? Oh, she's okay.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: All right, okay. I'm okay.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: AJ from the Backstreet Boys will be here at 8
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: o'clock live in studio, and he has something going on solo-wise,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and he's got some local shows. So we'll talk to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: him in a minute.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It definitely is exciting, yes.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Well, not a minute, but, you know, like 8 o'clock.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: A couple minutes.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Christine, you know, I feel like we do a lot
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of stories around Halloween about hot costumes, sultry costumes.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Well, they usually are.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people on Facebook are posting the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: risque pictures.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I went on Amazon to look for a
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: costume for my friend Ann Sayre's Halloween party. Uh-huh. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: they're all, they're all like super sexy, you know, house cleaner, cat, witch.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, I want to be a little
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: more covered.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Well- Then follow this list.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: This is a complete 180. There's a list going online.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: What's completely unsexy in the Halloween costume category?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: The most unsexy costumes. Oh, that's cute.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: And some of the comments are hilarious. And feel free
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to text in if any of these trigger you at 44363.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: But somebody wrote, none of your business. They're dressed as
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a nun with a briefcase. And I kind of like
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that for the comedy aspect of it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: You're dressed up as a nun.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: You have a briefcase.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And then what are you? Nun of your business. I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: think that's kind of funny, actually. It is. But it's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: completely unsexy.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I will just say that backfired on me one year.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Just one year. I went to something dressed as a
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: nun and I thought that was the most non-sexy costume.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And it turned out I had more guys hitting on
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: me than ever any night in my life. So just
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: putting it out there.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That's Monday's topic.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: What did you not expect?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And then it ended up making them kind of like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you know, giddy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: This one, my group of girlfriends and I went as
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the OG American girl dolls. I went as Kristen, a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: girl from pioneer country. We loved it and had a blast.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It was 10, 10, not sexy. And I was looking
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: at Cubby.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: You know, Amy Madigan.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: You're looking at me?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm unsexy, yes.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: No, Cubby isn't trying to get your attention. Amy Madigan
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: in Weapons. Do you remember that movie last year? Had
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of buzz.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Vaguely.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: And she was up for an Oscar. Did she win?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: And yes, I was looking at that. And Anne even
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: said to me, she's like, you sure you want to
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: do that? Because that is then completely, right?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Not sexy.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: How about this one? I went as a one night stand,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the person said. It's a box with fake drawers and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a lampshade for a hat. And that's also funny. You know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm a one night stand.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like this. I once painted a refrigerator box
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to look like a house, wore it with striped stockings
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and ruby slippers and said I was the Wicked Witch
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: of the East. That's a good way for me to hide.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Ladies, you have plenty of ideas if you don't want to,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you know, be too revealing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: How about somebody said I was Scott. I was Scout
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: from To Kill a Mockingbird and I wore my granddad's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: old overalls. There you go.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: You can be Scout.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: What about a thunderstorm? You might like this. I wore
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: all black, carried a flashlight and a spray bottle. And
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: when people asked what I was supposed to be, I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: flickered the flashlight and squirted them.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: With the water.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: That is brilliant. I'm sorry.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: A guy could do that. I want to be a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: thunderstorm for Halloween.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I think you do.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Just with a spray bottle. And then maybe get like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a strobe light for the lightning.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. All right. So hit us up. 44363.

  Speaker 4: actress and musician on Broadway. So I started doing like
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: her singles and her single releases. And then when she
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: went on six on Broadway, Moulin Rouge. So just from there,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: just kind of trickled on and word of mouth. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: then I started doing Housewives a few years ago. But
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: then I started filming with them since last season. So
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: our new season is coming out in December.
• 24:20

  Speaker 4: can't lie. Like, every time you're around a Backstreet Boy, like,

• 25:35
  Speaker 1: it Morgan.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I did. Yes.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And you said that this was the latest you've slept
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: in a long time.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: This was, yeah, this was the first time since probably
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: beginning of September that I actually got a full eight
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: hours of sleep, which I desperately needed. We caught you
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: on a good day. Yeah. I mean, so we finished
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: our residency in Vegas, or at least this leg, end
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: of August. I had three days off. I came here.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: My family just moved here. We're renting a place for
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: the next year for my daughters to go to a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: really cool dance school out here. And they would move
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: here yesterday if they had their way. And so I
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: came here for a couple days, went straight to London.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: We went into rehearsals for two weeks and then started
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the 10 stadiums that we just did over in Germany.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And then I flew home on October 8th back to L.A.,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: two days off. rehearsals from my tour and then started
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: my tour on the 19th. So yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: How do you remember all this?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: You know, it's my, my best friend says the same
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: thing to me. He's like, you don't write anything down.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I'm like, but if you think about it, I have
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: all our songs in our head, all of our choreography
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: in our head for the last three decades. It's starting
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: to fall out of my brain though. Like I'm, I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: like starting to like double book myself for things. And
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I just interviewed a a potential assistant. Like I never
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: thought I would ever need an assistant, but it's starting
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: to get to that point where I'm like, Ooh, I
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: might need some help.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: So, you know, I understand that we're not even as
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: crazy as you are, but I think we could all
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: use a personal assistant.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, Oh, I might need to break, break down.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I think you do.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Well, we're so happy for you. Your new sophomore solo
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: album called sex, love and music is coming out black Friday. Yes.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So a little over a month from now, but you're
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: out there promoting it. You've got some local shows happening
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in our area, right?
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Yes. Yes.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I kick things off in Brooklyn. I just did Rhode
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Island a couple days ago, and then we've got Montclair
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: and Huntington coming up this weekend. And then off to
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, and then I have a bit of a break,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: and then we really pick up in Boston on... the
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: 3rd of November and then it's like really tour tour
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like this has been do a show come back to
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: my house here in the city do you know that
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: kind of thing so it's not really on tour in
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: my mind yet but once Boston starts it's on the
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: bus right it's back on a proper tour which I
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: haven't been on a tour since DNA you know this
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: is this is nice it's a little breath of fresh
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: air to be back on a tour bus even though
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I like being in one place in Vegas it's nice
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: yeah but I kind of miss being on a bus.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny. A lot of musicians are like, no
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: more bus.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think we'll ever do another
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: proper tour tour, maybe ever again, knowing that we can
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: do these little mini residencies. Like we have 12 stadiums
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: coming up in Toronto in February. And then, you know, Vegas,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: everybody comes out to one location. So it's kind of
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: nice to post up. and actually put your clothes in
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: drawers and hang things up. It's kind of nice.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I want to play your new song, actually, and then
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I have a bone to pick with you after we
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: play that new song.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, pick that bone.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: But this first song I want to play is your
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: new single, Into Your Heart. Now, it's only 2 minutes
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and 25 seconds. It's an awfully short song. Is that
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: just the way things are these days?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's funny.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And was it a TikTok world?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, it's interesting. Probably about five or
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: six years ago, I heard from a couple of producer
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: friends of mine that the sweet spot is two minutes
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: and 45 seconds.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: And my generation, it was three minutes and 30 seconds.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: That's the radio edit, right? Right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I know.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: But songs actually, I think one of the first artists
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: to do two minutes and 45 seconds was actually Spice Girls, Wannabe.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Wannabe. You're correct.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: And they did that on purpose because it was so short,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: but just long enough that it made you want to
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: hear it immediately again. So that's the little sweet spot
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is that 225 to 245, it makes you want to
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: just put it on repeat constantly. And, you know, sometimes
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: the attention span these days, if you go too long...
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: they kind of skipped to the next track.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've heard that before here at meetings. Don't go
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want anybody skipping anything on this album. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: want you to listen to everything all the way through.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's play it. It's called Into Your Heart.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And you wrote it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me and my amazing writers, you know, Jeremy and
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: my buddy Ian, we put this on together and it
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: was kind of just a fluke. This was supposed to
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: be a bonus track that I was going to re-release
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: my first album. My name is Alexander James. I was
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: going to put this song on as a bonus track,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: and then one song turned into now 16 songs and
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: turned into a full album, which is why we have Sex, Love,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: and Music coming out on Black Friday.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Check it out.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: You ready? Let's do it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Into Your Heart, A.J. McClain on Light FM.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Next on Light FM.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, A.J. McClain in the background, boys.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: He's solo, though.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: That's the way to start the morning.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: It's Into Your Heart on 106.7 Light FM. Great song, man.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Thank you, man. Thank you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And again, short, but yeah, you want to hear it again.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see? There's a little recipe for my, you know, yeah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: All right, now time to pick my bone here with AJ.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: All right, pick that bone, bro.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: What is up, Cubby?
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: For 20 years, we've had a running joke about getting
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: tattoos together. I have no tattoos, but of course, AJ
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: has a ton. And our good friend JoJo at iHeartRadio
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles has a bunch of tattoos. So, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: we did the round the world trip back in 2000.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: We all bonded.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys go way back.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We had a joke like one day we're all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: going to do tattoos together. Yep. Lo and behold, I'm
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: on Instagram live watching people and I stumbled across Jojo
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and AJ getting tattoos together in Los Angeles.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Without me. And I'm not going to lie, I felt
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: like I was back in junior high and.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: All my friends.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Well, there is a geographical challenge. You don't live in,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: you know, L.A., but.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: If you had told me about it, I would have
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: flown out.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we still need to make this trifecta. Like, this
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: still needs to be... This needs to come into fruition,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: so if... If we need JoJo to come out here
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: and we film you getting this tattoo, I think we
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: still need to do this.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Because don't you think it'd be funnier if I got
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: it because you guys have tons of ink and I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: have nothing?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: And you have none.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: And this would be your first one. Right, right, right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: And I think if you do it, I think you
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: need to get both JoJo and my name on there.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Along with my kids, maybe.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, yes, yes. And then maybe I'll just find
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: a way to add your name underneath JoJo's on mine
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: and he can do the same thing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: This will never happen.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: You're up for this.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what? Bromance.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Bromance. All right. Is there going to be new Backstreet
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Boys music in 2027?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: You know, we've been farting around with just different ideas
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: and concepts. Obviously, we're like knee deep into the.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Into the Millennium tour that's currently happening right now. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: then obviously Sphere is still going. We've got seven more
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: shows this year. We're doing the official F1 after party.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Then we have six holiday shows going into the New
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Year's Eve show and New Year's. So finding the time
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: is obviously tricky, but we have some concepts and some ideas.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: So who knows? I mean, is it even an album
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: world anymore? Not even necessarily. It could be an EP.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: It could just be a single. I was blown away.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I'm always the last person to find things out amongst
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: the group. I don't know how that happens, but I'm
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: always like, oh, really? We're doing that? I got tagged
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: in a post to repost for your Grammy consideration our song,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Bottle Up. And I was like, what?
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's cool. And I thought to myself, how
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: ironic would it be? We've been nominated for nine Grammys
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: in our entire career and never won. If we win
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: our first Grammy... for Paw Patrol. Would be very ironic
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: and very serendipitous. But hey, a Grammy's a Grammy. Doesn't
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: matter what it's for.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I will say my daughter, Naomi, her favorite song is
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Bottle Up.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great record.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: A couple times a week, she'll ask me to play it. Daddy,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: bottle up. Daddy, bottle up.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was written by Siobhan and Ed Sheeran,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: and it's such a great, positive, fun song. And we
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: went to the premiere. And it was just kind of
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: cool to sit there and watch this movie, even though
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: we're all grownups. We have kids that are, Nick's kids
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: are right in the Paw Patrol age. The rest of
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: ours are a little older now. But just to watch this,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: you know, amazing franchise, amazing movie, and to see your song,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: it's just really, really fun. You know, it's kind of
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: like when we did This is the End. Totally different
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: movie than Paw Patrol, by the way. But yeah, yeah.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Really sweet.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Really sweet. Any Backstreet Boys surprises on your tour?
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You know what? Actually, so I am doing a show
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: in Orlando and I'm doing a show in Atlanta. I
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: talked to Howie. I talked to Brian. So if they
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: are in town, they would love to come up and
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: maybe surprise the fans. So we'll see. You know, I
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: know Brian's schedule is a little different because Bailey's on
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: tour right now with Jonas Brothers. So he's killing it
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: out there right now. So I think he finishes the
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: day before I get to Atlanta. So we're trying to
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: work that out. And then Howie, I don't know where
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: he's going to be in the world. Cause he's doing
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: great with his solo right now with his single and
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: with him flying, he got his pilot's license. So every
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: other day he's out flying. I told him, I'm not
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: going with you on a plane. Just so you know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: we're not going to have a, you know, a Leonard
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Skinner type or a Zeppelin thing, whatever it was, you know, skinny.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I didn't know.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: He could pilot our next round of the world trip.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe who knows?
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely not. No, no, no. All right.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Look, we're up against it, but you're again, your brand
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: new album coming out on November 27th and it's called sex,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: love and music. You're going to be in Montclair tomorrow,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: performing Sunday in Huntington. And then November 6th at the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: hard rock in AC.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. Busy man. AJ.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you guys. Good to see you guys.
