  Speaker 1: Unreal, my wife is awake and ordering things on Amazon. Hey, well, hi.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We're on the air. It's Cubby Christine, producer Kristen. Morning,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Light FM. I'm just.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: How did you catch her, by the way?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Because she just texted me and said, thank you for
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: letting me know. I just bought it. Are you familiar
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: with Amazon doing invites? If there's a product that's in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: demand and you can't purchase it right away, you can
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: be asked to be invited. Then they'll send you an
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: email when you can order it. It's almost like you're waiting...
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: behind the rope at a club.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And you're waiting for the door guy to open up
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the rope and let you go in the club.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: But you better jump, right?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So she told me, my wife said, because I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: get all the Amazon emails, even though she's on the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: app ordering all the time, I get the emails.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh, you know what's going on then.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: What's coming, yeah, you know, you know.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I got an email about five days ago and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: she said, look out for this. It says, invitation requested
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and received. We processed your request. We send invites to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: qualified customers regularly. while supplies last. If you're invited to purchase,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you have an email with a link. It's valid for
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: 72 hours. Now, we're trying to buy these Neetos. If
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you have a kid, you probably are aware of these.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: They're the hot thing right now. It's basically just a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: squishy thing, but they're all different kinds, Christy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Almost like a stress ball.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Kind of that, yeah, smushes and stretches.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's no big deal in my opinion, but all the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kids love it. Naomi wants one. Miles wants one. They
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: have different colors, blah, blah, blah. So a week ago,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we got the invitation request received. That was the email.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And then at 4 a.m. this morning, I got the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: email saying, congratulations, you're invited. You now have 72 hours
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: from the time this email was sent to complete the purchase. Oh, wow.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So I forward that email to Coco, my wife, at
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like 5.20 this morning.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Thinking she'll see this when she gets up.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Correct. 5.35, I get a text. Good morning. Thank you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Ordered. Yay.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I thought she was sleeping until like right
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: about now, but apparently she was up.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I think maybe like when it comes to shopping, we
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: sense something's going on.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: We wake up and we can do it. We can
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yes. It's like an alarm.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: It's like a superpower that we have.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how long Amazon's been doing this,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm curious if you can text us at 44363.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I guess some things are just so in demand that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you can't get it at the moment. But hey, we'll
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: put you on the waiting list. And then you have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to be like, I was so fearful of missing this email.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Because she's like, keep an eye out for this email.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, if I miss this email, I'm in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the doghouse.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's clothing companies, right? Where there's something I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: want and it's like sold out. We'll let you know
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: when it comes in and you get an email. But
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: it doesn't feel, it's not quite like that. It doesn't
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: feel as urgent.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: This feels like she had to move.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: The only good thing is you do have 72 hours
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: from the time this email was sent, it says. But gosh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: if I miss this email and then all of a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: sudden on Monday- She's like, you should have gotten it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: by now.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: And I kind of, oh, man. Yeah, there it was.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Crisis.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You're good.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You're good. You're covered. Going into the weekend. Pretty good
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: so far.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for going well for me. How about you?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: What are your big plans, Christine?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm coming back tonight because you know me. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: can't get enough in New York City.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You're escaping New York and then coming back.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Coming back to New York. And it is for a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: good reason because there's a new musical. It just opened
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: last night, actually. I'm going to go see it with
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: my friend Ann Sayre. And it was Duncan Sheik's. Probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the last musical that he worked on.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen. It's got an amazing cast, Sofia
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and Caruso. I'm trying to look at reviews right now.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be wonderful.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we all.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Look, remember Duncan Sheik? His big hit, Barely Breathing? And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: then you think, okay, here's a one-hit wonder. What did
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he do after that? He did a lot after.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: A lot of, you know, Spring Awakening.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just did some incredibly beautiful work. And it
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: feels like everyone who knew him... Just really, really loved him.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Great things to say about him and his talent and
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the person that he was. So I'm really, really glad
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: we were able to get tickets to this.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: We'll get a full review on Monday from you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Let's play Duncan Chic.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Barely Breathing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We lost Duncan a few weeks ago. We'll play that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: next on Light FM.
