Speaker 1: Friday Morning. Here to help you get off to a
0:01
Speaker 1: great start. At six eight when I was six point
0:03
Speaker 1: seven Light FM, New York's variety station, I'm Victor Sosa
0:06
Speaker 1: Infacuby this Morning with Christine and producer Kristin Christine. Apparently
0:10
Speaker 1: being radio famous is just not enough for you. You've
0:13
Speaker 1: got to conquer the internet too. What are you doing?
0:15
Speaker 2: Na take it on? I'm gonna jump on a trend, Victor.
0:18
Speaker 2: All right, So my friend An Sayer and I just
0:21
Speaker 2: always looking for wacky diets and stuff. She looks great,
0:24
Speaker 2: she doesn't need to, but there we've jumped on this
0:27
Speaker 2: trend called the Tiffany plate. Right, So I thought at first, like, oh,
0:31
Speaker 2: you get a plate from Tiffany, right, Yeah, yah, I'll
0:34
Speaker 2: do that. No, it's a Tiffany plate, who's named after
0:36
Speaker 2: the woman who created this diet plan and supposedly lost
0:39
Speaker 2: like sixty pounds over the course of a year. Oh
0:42
Speaker 2: and she did it by putting a rather odd collection
0:47
Speaker 2: on her plate. And this is all she eats. It's
0:49
Speaker 2: like a giant piece of chicken sausage. Okay, it's mustard,
0:54
Speaker 2: and it's cottage cheese and onion cups and let us
1:00
Speaker 2: and all kinds of veggies, and she just goes in
1:03
Speaker 2: and dips everything she like, dips the onions and the
1:08
Speaker 2: chicken sausage into like the mustard and cottage cheese. Oh,
1:11
Speaker 2: and says that it's a delicious combo. And so people
1:14
Speaker 2: are doing their own Tiffany plates and trying them and
1:19
Speaker 2: some are surviving, some are having a harder time and
1:22
Speaker 2: seeing how they like them and if it helps them
1:24
Speaker 2: lose weight. And the key is like she has a baby,
1:28
Speaker 2: the original woman doing this Tiffany, So she's always kind
1:31
Speaker 2: of whispering because she doesn't want to wait wait for
1:33
Speaker 2: the baby. So when you go in for your chicken sausage,
1:37
Speaker 2: she does the there's the sausage, and then she has
1:40
Speaker 2: to make and then you hear the you know, when
1:42
Speaker 2: she bites into it. So we want to do this like,
1:45
Speaker 2: you know, let's not disturb Anyboddy, but we're gonna and
1:49
Speaker 2: just see if we can get through this meal. All right,
1:51
Speaker 2: well sounds compelling.
1:52
Speaker 1: Huh, Listen, you lost me a cottage cheese. But I'll
1:55
Speaker 1: dial it down here in the spirit of this, be

Speaker 1: we talked about a couple of them a few minutes ago.
4:23
Speaker 1: But for those who just want to park themselves on
4:26
Speaker 1: the couch and watch their favorite shows, yeah, we got
4:29
Speaker 1: this list here of the most stream shows of the
4:31
Speaker 1: year so far, right, and be honest with you, I
4:34
Speaker 1: was surprised when I looked at it to see how
4:36
Speaker 1: many of them I actually do watch. You do? Okay, well,
4:39
Speaker 1: because my young nephew who lives with me, you know,
4:42
Speaker 1: I get a lot of SpongeBob, a lot of Paw Patrol,
4:45
Speaker 1: and a lot of Bluey. But the rest of the list.
4:47
Speaker 2: The rest of the adult stuff you don't see. Yeah, okay,
4:51
Speaker 2: So yeah, top stream shows of twenty twenty six so
4:54
Speaker 2: far we're getting through the year. Stranger Things on Netflix
4:58
Speaker 2: definitely number one, twenty three twenty six billion views. But
5:04
Speaker 2: it did bump Bluey, which, you know, your favorite Victor
5:07
Speaker 2: on Disney Plus is usually number one, So that was
5:09
Speaker 2: a big deal that Stranger Things Bumps Blooey to second place,
5:13
Speaker 2: followed by The Pit I know Kubby loves that show
5:15
Speaker 2: and Grey's Anatomy. I can't do the doctor stuff. Yeah,
5:20
Speaker 2: I just can't right now. But those shows are supposed
5:23
Speaker 2: to be.
5:23
Speaker 1: Great, I tell you, really impressive. Because Gray's Anatomy. Gray's
5:27
Speaker 1: Anatomy has been on since we were all kids. It
5:29
Speaker 1: seems like, yes, it's just always been there.
5:31
Speaker 2: Incredible number, exactly, big bang theory. People still love that.
5:35
Speaker 2: Bridgerton on Netflix SpongeBob SquarePants. He said, that's another one
5:39
Speaker 2: of your faves. Right, Family Guy on Hulu. People love
5:43
Speaker 2: to watch Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and Paw Patrol.
5:47
Speaker 1: Who by the way, because you know, I'm an honorary
5:49
Speaker 1: Paw Patroller one of those movies coming out this month too,
5:52
Speaker 1: So kids, parents, be on the lookout for that. I
5:54
Speaker 1: don't want to be the only one in the movie theater.
5:56
Speaker 1: You can all just give me the dirty look.
5:57
Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine and the great music, Right, why
6:00
Speaker 3: do you expect next? On light FM?
6:02
Speaker 1: The best variety in the city. What else? Six point
6:04
Speaker 1: seven light FM, Good Friday Morning to you, six point
6:06
Speaker 1: fifty two. I'm Victor Sosa in for CuPy with Christine
6:09
Speaker 1: and producer Kristin. Christine. You know the old saying one
6:12
Speaker 1: man's trash, that's another man's treasure, But this might be
6:16
Speaker 1: taking it a little too far, at least for me.
6:19
Speaker 2: This artist is proving it to be true, though, Victor. So,
6:21
Speaker 2: do you remember after Taylor Swift's wedding there's a New
6:24
Speaker 2: York City artist collecting the trash around the garden, yes,
6:28
Speaker 2: putting it in plastic cubes and selling it and it's
6:30
Speaker 2: sold out thirty five bucks a cube. Well he strikes again.
6:35
Speaker 2: His name is Justin Ginjak. I believe it is how
6:38
Speaker 2: you say his name. And this time around he was like, ah,
6:42
Speaker 2: World Cup, I see opportunity here. So he went around
6:46
Speaker 2: and he collected the debris after people were celebrating the
6:49
Speaker 2: historic match between Spain and Argentina. And he's got a
6:53
Speaker 2: limited edition drop. Now you will get the garbage packed
6:57
Speaker 2: into plastic cubes. He is called call this one the
7:01
Speaker 2: garbage of Champions, Gracias poor littering, and it can be
7:07
Speaker 2: yours for thirty five dollars.
7:09
Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing that says New York more than a
7:11
Speaker 1: pilot trash.
7:13
Speaker 2: It is limited edition. It is selling out, and there's
7:17
Speaker 2: people who are out of town who are saying they
7:19
Speaker 2: actually like it because they feel like they've got a
7:21
Speaker 2: little piece of New York.
7:22
Speaker 1: Now exactly trash, it's so New York. What do you
7:25
Speaker 1: gotta come it up?
7:26
Speaker 2: Let's check out the headlines. Oh and science studied us
7:30
Speaker 2: and they found out we're happier on the weekends.
7:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, who paid well? The check chasers who got that study.

Speaker 2: Christine, Good morning Victor. Definitely the heat. The heat advisory
7:50
Speaker 2: is still with us today through tomorrow at eight pm.
7:53
Speaker 2: And a new report finding the prevalence of West Nile
7:56
Speaker 2: virus is up here in New York City. Health officials
7:59
Speaker 2: say its highest in Staten Island and Queens where they
8:02
Speaker 2: have been testing mosquitos and finding them positive for WESTFROMP.
8:06
Speaker 1: Niles.
8:06
Speaker 2: So fortunately no person has gotten it so far, but
8:09
Speaker 2: they're worried. It's a matter of time, so you know,
8:12
Speaker 2: try and be careful, Try not to get bitten by
8:14
Speaker 2: a mosquito. Remove all standing water away from the area
8:17
Speaker 2: of your home, the president, saying the strait of horror
8:20
Speaker 2: moves is quote sword of open right now, but that
8:23

8:27
Speaker 2: that negotiations with Iran are continuing and that in the meantime,
8:32
Speaker 2: the US continues to blockade Iranian ports and have military
8:37
Speaker 2: control of the waterway. We have a federal judge who
8:40
Speaker 2: says Haitian immigrants in the US have officially lost their
8:44
Speaker 2: temporary protected status, and this follows the Supreme Court ruling
8:47
Speaker 2: allowing the Trump administration to end the program. Decision affects
8:51
Speaker 2: more than three hundred thousand Haitians who have been protected
8:53
Speaker 2: from deportation, which was granted after the twenty ten earthquake

Speaker 2: in Haiti. Halapanios from San Diego, California based distributor Coast

9:08
Speaker 2: at Chipotle and Cudoba. They have pulled the halapaannos and
9:13
Speaker 2: it is safe to eat at the restaurants. They're not
9:15
Speaker 2: there anymore. But we're dealing with some stuff here, aren't we.
9:19
Speaker 1: I mean when it rains it poor. Yeah, we're just
9:20
Speaker 1: felt halapanos the salad, trying to be healthy parties.
9:25

9:42
Speaker 2: better moods, greater vitality, fewer aches and pains. This will

Speaker 2: and women across all occupations felt mentally and physically better
9:54
Speaker 2: on the weekends, regardless of income, work hours, education, age,
9:58
Speaker 2: or marital status.
9:59
Speaker 1: The person who's happiest on Friday is the guy who
10:02
Speaker 1: actually got the money to do that study. Listening to
10:05
Speaker 1: everybody talk.
10:06
Speaker 3: About it more Covey and Christine and the great music
10:09
Speaker 3: variety you expect next on Light at Them.
10:11
Speaker 1: New York's number one for variety one O six point
10:14
Speaker 1: seven Light FM. Good Morning It is seven oh nine
10:16
Speaker 1: on Victor Sosa In Forcvey with Christine and producer Christen.
10:20
Speaker 1: Christine New York drives this number up. I'm sure, and
10:23
Speaker 1: there'll be some New Yorkers who hear these numbers and
10:25
Speaker 1: think I wish. I so totally wish. But we're talking
10:29
Speaker 1: about national averages here, and everything is just getting harder
10:32
Speaker 1: these days to be able to afford, including that American
10:35
Speaker 1: dream thing that you would consider typical, owning your own home.
10:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so, Redfinn, which is you know, a real
10:42
Speaker 2: estate site where you can check out homes. They said
10:46
Speaker 2: they did an average across the US of how much
10:48
Speaker 2: you need to earn in order to be able to
10:50
Speaker 2: buy the average US home. Right, we're not talking about
10:54
Speaker 2: mc manchin here, we're just you know, a house. You
10:57
Speaker 2: would need to earn one hundred and ten thousand dollars
10:59
Speaker 2: a year to comfortably afford a typical home in the US.
11:04
Speaker 2: And what they're looking at is you would need to
11:06
Speaker 2: put fifteen percent down. Thirty percent of your monthly income
11:11
Speaker 2: would go to mortgage payments, property taxes, and other housing costs.
11:15
Speaker 2: That's the balance. You're not supposed to go higher than
11:17
Speaker 2: thirty percent of your annual income, right, And a lot
11:20
Speaker 2: of people can't do that. They're dipping in further in
11:24
Speaker 2: order to get the house right, they're doing up to
11:26
Speaker 2: like forty percent of their income, and they said, you
11:30
Speaker 2: need one hundred and ten thousand to buy the typical home,
11:33
Speaker 2: but the average income in the US is twenty two
11:36
Speaker 2: thousand below that. So that's that's why we're seeing some
11:40
Speaker 2: really big challenges here. And I know the interest rates
11:43
Speaker 2: just went up a little bit again too. I don't know.
11:46
Speaker 2: I'm being told like it's starting to become a little
11:48
Speaker 2: bit more of a buyer's market because the houses are
11:50
Speaker 2: sitting longer because it's tougher to afford them.
11:54
Speaker 1: I think, well, of course the year after you bought,
11:56
Speaker 1: it's a buyer's market. Oh yeah, because.
11:58
Speaker 2: It's always that way, Yes, yeah, absolutely, it always works
12:02
Speaker 2: like that. But the markets that are dropping include Seattle,
12:06
Speaker 2: which had the biggest improvement in San Jose, so I mean,
12:09
Speaker 2: we kind of have to move in order to get
12:12
Speaker 2: into those houses. Saint Louis, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh said those
12:18
Speaker 2: are three major metro areas that incomes were above the
12:22
Speaker 2: required amount to buy a typical local home. So you know,
12:26
Speaker 2: if you're going to relocate, but we can't pick up
12:29
Speaker 2: our lives and just move. We have to look at
12:31
Speaker 2: the Tri State area.
12:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's much higher here. Yeah, exactly if it's still
12:35
Speaker 1: on your vision board. A helpful reminder Saturday's Powerball jackpot
12:39
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty six million dollars.
12:41
Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine and the Great Music Variety You
12:43
Speaker 3: expect next on light FM.

Speaker 3: Step More Covey and Christine and the Great Music variety.
13:39
Speaker 3: You expect next on Light.
13:40
Speaker 1: That f that Friday morning. It's just about seven fifty
13:43
Speaker 1: one six point seven Light FM, New York's variety station.
13:45
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Victor Sosa in for Covey with Christine
13:48
Speaker 1: and producer Kristin. Now, Christine, you and I have known
13:51
Speaker 1: each other for a very long time. We know quite
13:53
Speaker 1: a bit about each other. But it wasn't until mere
13:56
Speaker 1: moments ago that I realized you were probably gonna have
13:58
Speaker 1: to update your Instagram bio this weekend too. Cottage cheese enthusiast.
14:03
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if I can go that far, Victor,
14:06
Speaker 2: Are you going pretty far this time? I'm not saying
14:08
Speaker 2: I like it, but yes. So my friend Ann Sayer
14:11
Speaker 2: and I are jumping on a trend here and it's
14:14
Speaker 2: called the Tiffany Plate. And at first, when she said
14:16
Speaker 2: do you want to do a Tiffany Plate, I said sure,
14:18
Speaker 2: because I thought we were going to go to Tiffany
14:20
Speaker 2: and have breakfast. No, it is. It is a woman
14:23
Speaker 2: named Tiffany who has been sharing her story online about
14:27
Speaker 2: losing weight. She lost sixty pounds by designing her own
14:32
Speaker 2: plate of food, which consists of a big chicken sausage,
14:38
Speaker 2: a like wedge of onion, cottage cheese, mustard, a whole
14:43
Speaker 2: bunch of veggies like we're talking radishes, some rough stuff
14:46
Speaker 2: to get down. And then what she does is she
14:49
Speaker 2: dips it into the mustard and the cottage cheese and
14:52
Speaker 2: then tells us how good it tastes.
14:53
Speaker 3: Now.
14:54
Speaker 2: And when she does that with an onion cup, I'm
14:57
Speaker 2: thinking it looks kind of gross. She says, it's actually
15:01
Speaker 2: really good. People are trying it. They say it's good.
15:04
Speaker 2: Anna and I are going to try it. Let's see
15:05
Speaker 2: if we can stomach.
15:06
Speaker 1: It and get through it.
15:08
Speaker 2: But we also we have to be really careful how
15:10
Speaker 2: we do this, because Tiffany herself usually whispers when she
15:13
Speaker 2: does it.
15:14
Speaker 1: Also, it's very.
15:16
Speaker 2: House so we had every time, like if we pick
15:19
Speaker 2: up the muster and and jow it, we have to
15:21
Speaker 2: do the little click, and then we have to do
15:23
Speaker 2: the little squirt and you'll just hear that sound. And
15:26
Speaker 2: then we have to pick up the chicken sausage and
15:29
Speaker 2: bite it, and then we have to have the reaction
15:31
Speaker 2: and see if we can.
15:32
Speaker 1: Get through this.
15:33
Speaker 2: Don't worry, I'll share with you.
15:34
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure you will. I think I can handle
15:36
Speaker 1: most of that, I'm still having a mental block about
15:38
Speaker 1: the cottage cheese. Where's my therapist?
15:41
Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
15:44
Speaker 3: expect next.
15:45
Speaker 2: On light F them six point seven Light FM. Good morning,
15:48
Speaker 2: It's Christine. I'm here with producer Kristin and Victor is
15:52
Speaker 2: in for Cubby this morning. Victor, I would like to
15:54
Speaker 2: introduce you to our friend in Hollywood, Harry Medvad. Good morning, Harry,
15:57
Speaker 2: This is Victor.
15:58
Speaker 4: Hey.
15:59
Speaker 1: Good morning, Hey, Victor, Hey, how are you appreciate you
16:02
Speaker 1: hanging with us this morning. We've got a lot going on,
16:04
Speaker 1: especially with some of the biggest movies in the history
16:06
Speaker 1: of the box office, thinking about Spider Man the big
16:09
Speaker 1: debut last week and obviously expecting I should say, big
16:13
Speaker 1: numbers again this weekend.
16:14
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, it's been crazy. Every single weekday has been
16:17
Speaker 4: like a weekend at the box office. And I actually
16:20
Speaker 4: want to ask you guys, people are going back to
16:22
Speaker 4: the movies and trops. I have my philosophy of why
16:25
Speaker 4: people are we connecting as audiences at the movie theaters.
16:29
Speaker 4: What do you think is going on here? It's really
16:31
Speaker 4: a phenomenon. What's happening?
16:33
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a sense of community, right, It's
16:36
Speaker 2: just more fun. There's more energy when you're with other
16:39
Speaker 2: people and enjoying an experience together, and you're giving people
16:43
Speaker 2: movies that they really want to see. That's important to you.
16:45
Speaker 4: Think one hundred percent you nailed at Christina. I mean,
16:49
Speaker 4: in my opinion, Hollywood is finally delivering the goods. Right.
16:52
Speaker 4: For a while, people stayed away from the movies. They said,
16:54
Speaker 4: I can watch it at home. I got my count
16:56
Speaker 4: It's beautiful and as good as streaming. So but there's
16:58
Speaker 4: a couple of things going on. Hollywood is delivering really
17:00
Speaker 4: great movies. So even a film like Spiderman Brand New
17:03
Speaker 4: Day or The Odyssey, which is based on you know,
17:06
Speaker 4: a three thousand year old bum we all read in
17:08
Speaker 4: high school. Many of us read in high school and forgot.
17:11
Speaker 4: But these films feel like they feel like originals. You know,
17:14
Speaker 4: they're like you Toy Story five, it's a fresh story.
17:18
Speaker 4: But not only that, the theaters are just so much
17:20
Speaker 4: better than they used to be, because when I was
17:21
Speaker 4: a kid, I remember the sticky floors, the kind of
17:24
Speaker 4: like just really gross concessions. There was nothing healthy to eat,
17:28
Speaker 4: you know, the seats were just not moving. You know,
17:30
Speaker 4: they were really uncomfortable. That doesn't happen anymore. It's really
17:33
Speaker 4: rare that you find a theater like that. Most of
17:35
Speaker 4: the theaters, I mean, in the last three years, they've
17:37
Speaker 4: invested one point five billion dollars in upgrading the theaters
17:41
Speaker 4: and making them really beautiful, wonderful places where you want
17:43
Speaker 4: to linger longer. Because there's just really great lobbies where
17:46
Speaker 4: you're can have a drink or dine in or you know,
17:49
Speaker 4: have a dinner date during the movie. So dinner in
17:52
Speaker 4: a movie doesn't have to be dinner somewhere else is
17:53
Speaker 4: that's a active theater. So I'm just super excited. But
17:56
Speaker 4: I think the main thing is that it's a slate
17:58
Speaker 4: of movies. There's something for everyone. Yeah, the one that
18:01
Speaker 4: I want to talk about this week, and I mean
18:02
Speaker 4: Spider Man, Brand New Day and Odyssey. You're still killing it.
18:05
Speaker 4: It was a boss office all time record last weekend,
18:08
Speaker 4: four hundred and thirty million for one weekend. Wow, crazy
18:12
Speaker 4: for all the movies combined. But the movie that's opening
18:14
Speaker 4: this week and that I love so much is a
18:16
Speaker 4: comedy and it feels so good to laugh together with
18:18
Speaker 4: people in a cinema because you watch a comedy at home.
18:22
Speaker 4: If you're watching by yourself, you'l chuckle a little bit,
18:24
Speaker 4: but you're kind of looking around, like, where's everybody?
18:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to last with you?
18:27
Speaker 4: Yes, I exactly. And comedy's work when you have a
18:30
Speaker 4: huge audience. This movie is called One Night Only. Hopefully's
18:34
Speaker 4: playing for more than one night only at your local theater.
18:37
Speaker 4: It's from Will Gluck, the guy who directed Easya with
18:40
Speaker 4: Emma Stone. He also did Friends with Benefits with Justin
18:43
Speaker 4: Timberlake Emila Cunis, and his last movie was a huge
18:46
Speaker 4: surprise box office it called Anyone But You with Sidney
18:49
Speaker 4: Sweeney and of course Glenn Pell. This movie stars two
18:55
Speaker 4: rising stars, Colin Turner, who you might know is mister
18:58
Speaker 4: Dua Lipa so an Eternity a really lovely romantic comedy,
19:03
Speaker 4: and Monica Barbaro, who is absolutely fantastic. Some people are
19:06
Speaker 4: comparing her to like a young Natalie Wood as a comedian.
19:09
Speaker 4: She's so good. And this movie is just a love
19:13
Speaker 4: letter to New York City. It's shot all over the city.
19:16
Speaker 4: It's shot in the East Village, West Village, Soho. And
19:19
Speaker 4: I know movie locations really well. I've never seen The
19:22
Speaker 4: Little Red lighthouse underneath the George Washington Bridge and a
19:25
Speaker 4: movie before. I don't know how they did it. How
19:27
Speaker 4: did we not use this as a movie location? But
19:30
Speaker 4: it's just if you love New York, this is your
19:33
Speaker 4: kind of movie. There's a little bit of political commentary
19:35
Speaker 4: in the movie that I think is a little bit
19:37
Speaker 4: over the top. It's not for everyone's taste, but I
19:39
Speaker 4: kind of just go with it. It's a dystopian comedy.
19:43
Speaker 4: I know it sounds crazy, but the plot of the
19:45
Speaker 4: movie is that there's just one night a year where
19:47
Speaker 4: single people can get together. And it reminded me a
19:52
Speaker 4: lot of like I don't know if you remember, there
19:53
Speaker 4: was a Martin Scorsese comedy called After Hours, reminding me
19:57
Speaker 4: of the classic screwball comedy. It happened one night with
20:00
Speaker 4: our cable and plot of Culver Christine and You're gonna
20:02
Speaker 4: love this movie.
20:03
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I'm gonna book Eric. You guys,
20:08
Speaker 2: he needs to take a night off. We need to
20:09
Speaker 2: go to the movies.
20:11
Speaker 1: This is great.
20:12
Speaker 2: Well, Harry brought us some great news, you know, things
20:15
Speaker 2: to look forward to.
20:16
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, and let's keep it going. The
20:19
Speaker 4: movies are great and just I mean just I'm so
20:21
Speaker 4: happy because I'm so happy to see people coming together
20:24
Speaker 4: at the movies for And the one thing I will
20:26
Speaker 4: say is all these films have in common, they're all
20:28
Speaker 4: about loneliness. They're all about how we have to kind
20:30
Speaker 4: of get out of the house and reconnect with each other,
20:33
Speaker 4: and how we need to be together and work together
20:35
Speaker 4: for common causes. So that's why my films like Spiderman,
20:38
Speaker 4: Brand New Day and and I think this film one
20:40
Speaker 4: night and You're gonna do great business.
20:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really resonating. Harry Medved of the Cinema Foundation,
20:45
Speaker 2: thank you for always getting up early out in Hollywood
20:48
Speaker 2: and recommending such great films. It's good to talk to you, Harry.
20:52
Speaker 2: Thank you.
20:53
Speaker 4: Same here, Christine, Thank you.
