  Speaker 1: on a nice tea. I didn't even know what's in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a hurricane, but I know there's a lot in there.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I will tell you, like, I look

• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that hurricane went down very easily because it's really sweet,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and then later on may not have felt as good
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: as that moment.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking it up right now. It says a New
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Orleans Hurricane is a potent fruity cocktail consisting of two
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: ounces of light rum, two ounces of dark rum, one
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: ounce of passion fruit, one ounce of orange juice, a
• 1:43

• 1:47
  Speaker 1: syrup and grenadine.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah like the cherry.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you shape all the ingredients with ice straight into
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a tall glass and then a little garnished cherry orange
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and then the floor.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, they send you on your way because you can
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: if that feels strange too, right, you can walk around
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: with alcoholic drinks just forgot about that. I think if
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you don't, you almost don't feel like you fit in.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You have to have a cup in your hand of something, and.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Everybody, you know, is really chill. And we went in
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: there and I was like, this drink is so good.

• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sleep in it all or were you like hitting the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: ground running every day?

• 2:31
  Speaker 2: things are geared towards staying up later. Again, you know,
• 2:35

  Speaker 2: out all day, Like I can't. I don't know the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: amount of walking we did. I'm glad we did, because

  Speaker 1: a congratulations here for good friends of the family, Coco
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and I. Coco has known a lady named Maya for
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: many years, even before she met me, and now Maya's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just a longtime friend of all of us. Yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and she got engaged last night to Sean, and I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: want to congratulate them. Maya and Sean. Congratulations. He proposed
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: last night at the house. She always said, if you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: ever do it, I don't want a big deal, no fanfare,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: no restaurants and nothing like that. Yeah, and he did
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it last night. And they went to high school together,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: but they didn't really know each other in high school
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and they kind of linked up three years ago and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he proposed last night. So congratulations to Sean and Maya
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in Old Bridge, New Jersey. And we wish you a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: life long of happiness.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We do. Congratulations guys. That's wonderful.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So here we are on this Wednesday, April twenty second,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Earth Day.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It is Earth Day.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If you're about to get dressed love this day, maybe
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you can dress for the planet.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something to keep in mind. You know how
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: we've been. I think people are a little more aware
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of what we call fast fashion. Yeah, clothing that we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: buy that's cute, but we might not wear forever or
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it doesn't last forever. So we want to sustain because
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: we're protecting the planet, right, So dressing sustainably. It's a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: little different for everyone, but maybe there's something you can
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: keep in mind. When you're about to buy an outfit,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: try and ask yourself, would I wear this thirty times?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It's a lot, that's a lot. The idea is simple,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you buy something new, ask yourself if you can realistically
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: see yourself wearing it at least thirty times. If the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: answer is no, it may be worth passing. Fast fashion
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: is one of the biggest polluters out there, largely because
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it relies on people buying clothes quickly and then discarding
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: them just as fast. So instead of impulse buying, taking
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a moment to think things through. Your wallet will thank you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: The planet will thank you. A lot of people are
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: into thrifting and secondhand and you can get some beautiful
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: pieces that way. Just stuff to keep in mind is
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I think Earth days a beautiful day to raise awareness. Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of our lovely plan.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing this sweatshirt for the third time. This is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: something that producer Kristen gave me over the holidays. I'm
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: wearing a Mannheim Steamroller sweatshirt in April.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I bet she didn't think it would
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: last you until April. You know, I've got a sweater
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: on today. I thought i'd put away for the season.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you went on vacation. It was ninety degreesier. Oh yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it was welcome back.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Right fifty It's fifty so that had to break out
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: those clothes again. So great. Yeah, she made a wonderful
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: choice for you.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Covey, Yes, thank you, Kristin. On this Earth Day, we
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have some rain for the earth and a high of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: fifty five. Later on, I think we'll see some sunshine
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: though by afternoon.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: expect next on Light.

• 10:15
  Speaker 2: we're a little jet lagged, you know, we're a little tired,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: but we can do this. Of course, we're coming from
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: New Jersey going out to Long Island.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It's the worst.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It took as long to drive as our flight to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: New Orleans. And I'm not exaggerating the flight, not going
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: through the airport, but just the.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Wheels up to wheels down is probably what two hours
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and forty five.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah even less, We went even quicker. Okay, it was
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: like two and a half hours, so.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Driving New Jersey to Long Island round trip, Yeah, longer
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: than your flight from New Orleans to Newark.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. Cross Bronx Expressway.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, Hey, I want to thank you, by
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the way for my shout out on Instagram. You didn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: have to do that, but you I got you into
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a restaurant that you were dying to get into.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's called Commander's Palace in New work So it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in New Orleans. It's legendary. It's in the guard In district,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: maybe one of the oldest restaurants with the best recipes.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And I've wanted to go. And during the pandemic comy,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you remember, we were all watching documentaries during that time.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of that, a lot of food stuff.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: There was one about Commander's Palace and Eric and I
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: at that point had just gotten back from New Orleans,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and I said, oh, we didn't go to that. We
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: have to go next time. But will we ever get
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: out of this house? Will we ever get to travel again?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And so it's been a goal of mine to get
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to Commander's Palace because it just felt so special. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: we tried. We were in New Orleans and twenty twenty
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: four we couldn't get in. It was booked. We tried
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: this time, it was booked. I think if you're traveling
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and interested I think these restaurants, maybe you need a
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: month in advance.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's I mean, that's a long time. You think
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: two weeks is fine, but maybe you do need a month.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I think so because they're so legendary and you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and I know it's a lot for tourists, but local
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: looks like it too. To celebrate, right.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Right, Well I have. So what I did was I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have a concierge service with one of my credit card cards.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Y and some credit cards have a free concierge service
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and either you could call them or you could get
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: their app. And what look, long story short, one of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: my cards had it and it's free to use, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I just hit them up and I said, but I did.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The only thing I didn't do is I didn't.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Say it was well for a friends.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to do for a friend. Yes, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: didn't know if that would open up a can of worms.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So I said, I will be traveling in New Orleans, yes,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and I want to go to Commander's Palace. And they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: put my name in. So all you did was give
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: them my name, right? Yes?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So Eric was Paul, Yes, Cubby Bryant, I'm wondering if
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: your credit card company's like, so, where's that charge? I
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: know what cooked you up?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So I thought of that. Yeah, but I have used
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the service before and not used the credit card to pay,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and they've never said.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Anything gamble they take.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but they got you in, they.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Got us in. I was so excited Cobby to get
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: this reservation. When you're in New Orleans, you do have
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: to dress for dinner when you go to these fancier
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: restaurants like Cot like a jack, and they check out
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: your shoes. So we didn't think we were going anywhere fancy,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and we didn't bring well, Eric didn't bring those kind
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of clothes. I always bring a justin case dress always always.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah he does too, but he doesn't fit into mine
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and he didn't bring his, So I had one in
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the bag. I had sandals. I'm good to go. Eric's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: got a button down shirt and like, you know, nice
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: slacks if you will. But the only thing he has
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is his Nike sneakers and they're not loud sneakers. They're black,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but they have the white woosh and supposedly, supposedly Commander's
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Palace did not want sneakers, specifically anything with a logo,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: like if they were low key sneakers, maybe you could
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: get by his weren't loud and colorful. So I'm telling him,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm like, look between my dress and sandals, your button down,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: your slacks, nobody's gonna notice your sneakers. He was so
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: freaked out and upset that we're gonna get there and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: he knows it's important to me, and we're not gonna
• 14:00

  Speaker 2: and Android owners. Science has found iPhone users are more
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: likely to be younger and women. Android users are typically
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: humbler and open. Are also less likely to consider their
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: phone some kind of status symbol.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm an iPhone person, and so are you, but
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I like Android phones. I just would never change because
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm used to what I'm used to. I've had this
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: thing since two thousand and seven.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I'm adept exactly, And when someone hands me an Android,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you're just it's just different enough. Yeah, plus it ruins
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of text thread guys. I'm so sorry, but there's always
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the one android person who was like, oh, they didn't
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: see the picture or they can't leave the conversation, and.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Then it's like a different color too on the texting. Yes,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes I can't remember if they changed it or not.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: But anyway, more Covey and Christine and the great music

  Speaker 2: No, two thousand and two. I was on like we

  Speaker 2: came into Z one hundred around the same time.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Correct. So my first day was April twenty second, nineteen
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: ninety six, and I left a beautiful job in Houston, Texas.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I was very happy there. I didn't want to leave,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: but when New York calls you leave, you say okay, right,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And I got a call from Tom Pullman, who was
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: hired as the program director at Z one hundred. Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: he had he was my program director in Houston, but
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: initially he didn't know that he was going to be
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: hiring me. He didn't know what was going to happen
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: at Z. And when he got here, a month went
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: by and he realized he needed some help. And he goes,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you want to come up here and help me turn
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: around Z one hundred because at the time the ratings
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: were in the tank, and yeah, it was like in
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: last place. So we knew we could either be heroes
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: or be fired in two months. Okay, So we had
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a chance to turn the legendary Z one hundred round
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: along with myself and Sharon Dast and a lot of
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: other people. And it all started on this date. And
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: if you told me, I said this on my Instagram
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and my Facebook post, if you told me on April
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: twenty second, nineteen ninety six, you'll be on the radio
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: in New York for thirty years, I would have laughed
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and then given you a zema.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I was drinking back then, and then I had to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: put on some polo sport. But yeah, it's just been
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: an incredible run and I've met so many great people
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: along the way, and you were one of my first friends. Yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I met you that that summer, I believe in ninety six.

• 27:55
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: They were New York's pure rock and they flipped formats
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and as often happens, in radio, if a format flips
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: bye bye.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: That's what happens.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You're cast of players. And I was very very fortunate
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that there was an opening at Z one hundred and
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that they brought me on board. I was very lucky. Yeah,
