  Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. It is a Thursday. Does it feel
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: like Friday at all to you?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's felt like Friday for a couple of days.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: For some reason, it feels like Friday.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: This week has been Friday since Monday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm not alone. Cubby, Christine, and Kristen, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: welcome to a brand new day. It is 6.09. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have a question for you because this happened last night
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: at our house. And my wife said something to me,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to ask the question here. No matter
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: how good you brush your teeth at night, won't your
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: breath still smell the next morning, no matter how good
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you brush it? Because my wife, so Miles and Naomi,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: they brush their teeth on their own, but I used
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to supervise. Lately, I haven't because they've been doing it
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah. Well, Coco said to me last night, honey,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you really got to just sit, stand next to Miles
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and stand next to Naomi when they do their teeth
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: because in the morning lately, their breath has been really bad. Oh. Now,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't say this to her, but in my mind,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm like, You could brush your teeth for five minutes
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: at night. Won't you still be stanky in the morning?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I think you always have morning breath.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: No matter what, right?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It sounds, but she noticed a difference. Like when you
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: used to monitor and now that you don't, there's a difference.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Correct. And I didn't want to start a fight by going,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think that makes a big difference. I just,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you know, what a husband should do. Shut up. Don't
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: say anything.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Just do it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Just do it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So now... Well, this is like a little test.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: A little test run. Do it and see if it
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: makes a difference.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And see if she actually says, you know, their breath
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: has been smelling better in the morning.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Producer Kristen, you do that with your kids?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you supervise? I know you... So Kristen can't talk.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And they're a little younger, so.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: You supervise the whole thing? Okay.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And do you think it makes a difference for their
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: morning breath?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Because I don't smell their morning breath because I'm here. Yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you don't think it makes a difference. See, again, when you're...
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: sleeping all night. I don't care what you did the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: night before. It gets ranky. I know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And in the movies, people always wake up and they
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: kiss and you're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, so there's a slice of life of our house.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And how about your house, Christine? Now you have butterflies
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in your stomach today. And tell us why.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Because I have a very special guest coming over today
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm so excited to see him. His name is
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Melanio Gomez. He's an interior designer. He used to work
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: with Martha Stewart. And remember, I worked with Martha for
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a while, so we became friends. We haven't seen each
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: other for a while. We've reconnected. He's got a podcast.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: He invited me onto his podcast, which I am greatly honored.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But he's going to stop by my house today just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to help me with some decor and still choosing the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: last paint colors.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. So I know you. And like most of us,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we get really nervous before our friends come over.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Because you want to be perfect.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Even the housekeeper. Yes. But this guy, this guy, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: want to go beyond perfect. This guy.

• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you're going to open the door. Yes. And

  Speaker 1: he's going to be looking around. And what is your
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: goal with him?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: He's such a kind person. My goal is to go,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, immediately and explain what's wrong with my house.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And then he'll tell you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And then bring him in. Okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He'll help with like what? Paint colors? Yes. A vision
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of things?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. Because I want to be really sure. I've been
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: holding off. I think I'm there with the paint colors
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: like for the main areas of the house. Really, really
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: want to be sure before I commit to this. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: he's coming in to help me with that. And there's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: things that... That I wanted to change in the house.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And they're a little challenging. Some design ideas.

  Speaker 2: Thank you.

  Speaker 1: And tomorrow morning this time, we'll catch up on how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it went.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, Light FM, we're coming right back.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you for waking up with us.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I need to tell you two things.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Cubby and Christine's.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Two pretty cool things.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I find it extremely cool that for the first time
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in its history... Japan has more than 100,000 people over
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the age of 100.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And nearly 90% of them are women. It's something about
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the water there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And the diet.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And the diet. They're eating good over there. Yeah. All right.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So way to go, all our Japanese friends. My wife
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is Japanese. So if this holds true, she'll be hanging
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: around for a while.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That's great. We like Coco.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: We do. Don't leave me, Coco. All right. What is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: your cool thing, Christine?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Merriam-Webster Dictionary every year comes out with their list
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of new words. We have the new words. We can
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: talk about that in a bit. But they've got this
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: really cool feature on their website called Time Travel. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what you can do is look up the year you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: were born and see all the words that were added
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to the dictionary that year. All the words that were
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: new in that year. It's really, really fun from pop
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: culture terms to technology buzzwords. Like I'm going all the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: way back to 1942 right now. And they just came
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: up with the word carb, which haunts me to this day.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That was a brand new word in 42.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: They were like carbs.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And carpool. It's just bebop. I told you, I think
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: it was 1957 or something. One hit wonder. Like, it's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Just looking at your words. Producer Kristen was born in 87.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Is it easy for you to toggle to 87 or
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is it too hard right now?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Let me see how fast.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm in the 40s. Okay. If you can't do it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that's okay. So it's on Merriam-Webster's website, right? Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And the tool is called Time Travel.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Time Travel.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And wait, we have Kristen, what year did she say?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: 87.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: 1987.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Please stand by.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Do, do, do, do. Text us your birth year right now.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Have a little music. Kristen gets Blank Check Company. Blank Check.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Blank Check, baby. And I'll write your name.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You get the word. Oh, Generation X. Hello.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Started in 87? Okay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: That's when we put the word into the dictionary. Let's see.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Kristen gets Lipo. That's up there with my card.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I heard Kristen gets Lipo.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: All right, this is cool. Off-label, potty-mouthed, snark.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Snark.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Techno. Wake and bake, whack-a-mole, single prayer, bomb cyclone. You've
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: got some fun stuff.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Acid washed. Oh, that's okay. You don't need to know
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That was the time, Sarah, 1987.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can skip those.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: All right, this has been two pretty cool things. The
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: more you know, the further you go.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Light FM, Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen, you were talking during
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: two pretty cool things about how you can go back
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to a time capsule and find out what words were
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: added to the Merriam Dictionary. Yeah. So, like, you go
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: back to 1990 or 1988, it tells you what words
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: were new. Like, word to your mother.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Was big in 1988.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And then Vanilla Ice did Ice Ice Baby and said
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: word to your mother in 1990. So that was fun.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So what's going in this year, Christine?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's great, Cubby, because like you said, it is like
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a time capsule. So this year, Merriam-Webster is adding some
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: new terms. And they say a lot of it has
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to do with pop culture, social media, new tech. We're
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: getting entries like vibe coding, parasocial, Rick Roll, yacht rock,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and Sunday scaries.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised Rick Roll... Is just going in now.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Is just going in now.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Because we've been saying it for like 15, 20 years. Yep.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And the other surprising one, what was after Rickroll? You
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: mentioned something after Rickroll?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yacht Rock.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yacht Rock.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: That's been around a while, too.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That term has been around to me for a long
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: time as well, like 20 years or so.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Sunday Scaries. Oh, that's been real for all our life.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: For food additions, we have Bao, Chili Crisp, and Superfood.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Other new additions, Cuffing Season.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Love Cuffing Season.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I know it. California Sober. I think that's where you
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: allow yourself a bit.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Glow up.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Promposal. AGI, artificial general intelligence. Looks maxing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: What's that mean? Anybody know that? Looks maxing? Is that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: maximizing your looks?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds, yeah. It's like going to, yes.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Like when it shows a little picture, it shows a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: guy on Instagram and his hair is all done and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: his skin looks perfect. And yeah, like making the most
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of it. Limerence. I don't know. Mandela effect.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I do know because I looked it up. It's a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: strange concept. Shapewear. I thought we had that one because
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Spanx and stuff have been around.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: A long time. Shapewear is just going in in 2026.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Just going in.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Really? Yeah. Fascinating.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But we've been utilizing it since, you know.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Since, yeah, beginning of time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Forever. And neckbeard.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Neckbeard. Do you know what that is?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: No.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Let me look it up.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Okay. So we've got a couple. We need to look up.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Look up limerence.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Neck beard. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Kristen's showing us it's that fashion where the guy doesn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: have anything on the chin or above the mouth.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It doesn't connect to a mustache or anything.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: It literally is just around the jawline. Oh.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Neck beard.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Oh.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine the crumbs in that thing and all
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the dirty food in there.

• 11:37
  Speaker 1: know what Monster High Dolls is. Monster High Dolls?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, super popular. Sorry, for the girls. I guess Naomi,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: she's a little young for it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, Tickle Me Elmo. Gosh, Christine. We were, I think,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: working in radio when the buzz on that was going on.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: That was like one of our prizes I think we
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: would give away at Christmas.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: That was a big deal to get one. You couldn't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: find it. Yeah. Like Cabbage Patch Kids in 84. We
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: weren't radio then. But I remember the video of people
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: running to the stores and news footage of parents walking
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: shoving other parents to the ground to get a Cabbage
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Patch Kid.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It's almost like trying to get the Snoopy cup at Starbucks. Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, are you still searching for that?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: No, no, I don't. You know, if I don't get
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: it on the day of the release, I'm not going
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: on eBay. It's going for like two and three times.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But if there's a Starbucks nearby you, would you like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: check back every couple of days to see.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: If they're not?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: It's just it's gone.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: It's over. You know, I just have to accept it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You're really sad.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: They don't restock them.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Well, You know what you're getting for Christmas. Oh, really?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: No, I don't, but I guess I do now.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Remember I came through about two years ago, you were
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: looking for something, and we were so excited we found it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It was some kind of, oh my gosh, what was it?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It was a Tiffany cup.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Tiffany cup, thank you. And you couldn't find it? Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And I remember- That's really fancy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We found it like in November. And we're like, oh,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: my goodness.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are smart.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: We got lucky.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So who knows what you're going to be getting for Christmas.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And don't forget, everybody, Christine Nagy's birthday, December 26th. Thanks, guys.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And producer Kristen is December 29th.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So I want a bunch of love coming to my
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: ladies here.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you. We are the forgotten Christmas babies.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I know. I think about you all the time.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody stole her thunder.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I know. Darn, Santa. What do you have coming up
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in the news?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Well, if it's hard for a woman to say no,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and a lot of times it is, psychologists say this
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is a way that's going to help you do it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Christine.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And good morning, Covey. Well, the president says the Kennedy
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Center will be, quote, ripped down if he's not recognized
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: for renovations. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened in
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: 1971 in Washington, D.C., as a living memorial to the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: late President Kennedy. Last year, Congress appropriated over $ 250 million
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: for its renovation. A federal judge blocked the center from
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: adding Trump's name to the building. The House has passed
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a bill that would require AM radio to be included
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: as standard equipment in new vehicles. Supporters say AM radio
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: remains an important source of local news, emergency information, especially
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: when cell phones or Internet disruptions are at play. Dozens
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of local governments and councils have already scrambled this year
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to pass full or partial bans on AI centers in
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. And now the state is getting involved and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: introducing a bill that would place a six-month moratorium on
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the AI data center so more research can be done.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: The 100th annual San Gennaro Festival gets underway today in
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Little Italy. Just a heads up.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Let's eat.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: UN General Assembly also gets underway. That starts next week.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: That's when we start to warn you about gridlock and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: frozen zones.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Let's be stuck in traffic.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, there's that. Sports, baseball, Yankees lost to the Twins 5-4.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Mets lost to the Orioles 7-1. Tonight, the Lions played
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the Bills in Buffalo. And you see that on Amazon.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And a lot of women have a hard time saying
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: no to their kids, bosses, friends, whoever needs us. So
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: if you need to say no more often, this is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a tip from psychologists. Not yes. While you're saying no,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: they say it sounds crazy, but it works. When you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: nod your head as you talk, it empowers you to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: stay firm in what you're saying.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: We should try that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Nod your head yes.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We have a big meeting later today.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: No, we can't make it. We can't.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We're both doing it in here. It doesn't look right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: No.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe like if you're on the phone and having a conversation.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Next on Light FM. 106.7 Light FM. Good morning. It's Covey.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's Christine. Producer Kristen. Just in here. Discussing relationships. Yes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Because there's this little research study about the sweet spot
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: for long-term success in a relationship as far as the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: age gap is concerned. And all of us, I don't
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: know if we fit into this exactly, but our relationships
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: are working. So I'm sharing this with you and saying
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: take it with a grain of salt. The study is
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: finding that between zero and three years is the perfect
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: age gap for a relationship to last long-term success. Lesser
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: chance of divorce rates.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's a lower number than I thought because I'm happily
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: married and we're 10 years apart in age. I'm not
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: saying like our difference is what everyone should be, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: But it's working.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But it's working.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: It's working for you.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I thought 10 would be kind of, I thought it'd
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: be a higher number basically, like seven or eight.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: No, they don't give you that. And that's Kristen with
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: her husband. They're seven years apart. Seven years. And, you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: they're doing well. I don't want to whammy anybody in
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: this room.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But you guys are doing really well.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Having beautiful relationships and kids, and it's all going well.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: The reason that's cited in this that it might not
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: go well if there's a bigger age gap is because
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: basically you're not on the same page. You want to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: have the same views on money, health, careers, kids, retirements.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: So the bigger the age gap, the more chance that
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: you're wanting things at different times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It didn't work out for Martha Ray and Mark Harris.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Remember that?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to help me here. What reference is that?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I know that was a very deep cut. Martha Ray.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Remember the old actress did denture commercials before she passed? Okay.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And she married this publicist named Mark Harris.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: And they were 33 years apart.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Martha Ray. And people said- that he married her for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the money. And he pretty much did, kind of. But
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: he was saying how much he loved her. And if
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I showed you YouTube videos, it would bring back some memories,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Because people thought this guy was kind of a whack job.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, it was clear that he was with
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Martha Ray for the money.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: But I don't even know what he's doing.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: What ultimately happened.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Well, she died.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That's a problem.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. When you marry someone a little bit too old,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: there's that chance. But she passed away in 19. Oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: here it is. Martha Ray, born in 1916. Mark Harris,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: born in 1949. When they married in September 1991, Ray
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: was 75 years old. Harris was 42 years old, making
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: him roughly 33 years her junior.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Martha Ray. Didn't work out. Well, maybe it did work out.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't know because you said she passed.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Right, she passed.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Was she happy when she passed?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was going well when she
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: passed or if it was falling apart.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Like you said, this is a deep dive. We just
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: don't have these details. I mean, we see it in
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Hollywood all the time, don't we? But usually it's the actor,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the man, who's older and the woman who's a lot younger.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And again, it's like I promise you no judgment whatsoever.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: It's like Love is love. Whatever works for you. It's just,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I think, if you're aligned. If you're both wanting the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: same thing at the same time. It doesn't matter if
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're 15 years apart. But you're both, I don't know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: wanting to get a house together or wanting to have kids.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: You're just, that part is so important.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You'd be a good therapist.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And now a Martha Ray Polyden commercial from 1981. Are
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you ready? Here's the audio. Martha Ray. Here we go.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Is it playing? That's not working. You know, when I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: clown in front of that camera, this big smile needs
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: something extra. Extra Strength Polydine Green. It gets my dentures
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: sparkling clean.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Tough lab stains. Now you remember her? Now, Extra Strength
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Polydine is fantastic.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Gets tough stains clean, even in between. So take it
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: from a big mouth.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Extra Strength Polydine Green gets tough stains clean.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I think, like, she was a character actress, maybe 40s, 50s,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yes. she ended up doing commercials and stuff like that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: If you remember Martha Ray or if you just have a...
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: What is your gap? What is the age gap in
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: your relationship? We want to hear from you.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And does it matter?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And does it matter? Yes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Let us know if it matters.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Can you text us? Because so far we've been on
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the air for about an hour and a half and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: no one's texted us. 4-4-3-6-3. I don't know if anybody's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: tuned in, really. 4-4-3-6-3. Are you listening? Are you awake?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have a heartbeat?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.

• 20:37
  Speaker 1: ask what you do for a living?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Actually, funny you should ask.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I just retired this year from the school.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I was a teaching assistant.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, and congratulations.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, does it feel weird not to be working in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: school season starting? It does feel a little bit weird,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: but the weather's still nice, so I'm just enjoying it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Good for you, Mary. All right, who is on Team Christine?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Danielle, right here in New York City. Good morning, Danielle.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: What are you up to today?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I'm on my way to work. I actually just parked
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: outside a little bit early, so I figured I'd give
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you guys a call.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And Mary's laughing, going, I'm retired. Lucky her. Good luck
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to you both. Mary, you'll get three questions. Danielle and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Team Christine will get three questions. Best out of three
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: will win our trivia battle. Mary.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Mary.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Here is question number one for you. American Idol is
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: leaving Hollywood and moving to which major city? We talked
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: about this yesterday. A, Philadelphia, B, New York City, or C, Atlanta?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's Atlanta. It is Atlanta. And you are up 1-0.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, Danielle, the Jonas brother who's married to Priyanka Chopra
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: just celebrated his birthday. Which one is that? A, Nick, B, Joe,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: or C, Kevin? C, Kevin. No, I'm sorry. It's Nick.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Over to Mary. Mary, in the year 2000, which former
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live cast member joined Al Michaels and Dan
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Fouts in the Monday Night Football booth? Was it A,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Dennis Miller, B, Chris Rock, or C, David Spade? I'm
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: going to say A. Dennis Miller. Some people loved him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Some people hated him. I thought he was pretty good.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But Mary, you're right. Two nothings. Okay, Danielle.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: What streaming network carries Thursday Night Football? Is it A,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Amazon Prime, B, ESPN Plus, or C, Apple TV Plus?
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: That's a tough one. I think it's Prime. Amazon Prime?
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You would be correct.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And that means Danielle holds off elimination there. Yes, yes. Okay,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: so Mary, you're leading 2-1, but you can win it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: if you get this right, Mary. Which of these actresses
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is Ryan Felipe's ex-wife. Is it A, Reese Witherspoon, B,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, or C, Emma Stone?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: It's Reese Witherspoon.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. Three for three for Mary.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Mary takes the game. Sorry, Danielle, we wouldn't be able
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to come back with the next question, but you know
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you can always call us and play again.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. And have a great day at work.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you. And then, Mary, this is perfect for you.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: You've got tickets to NYC's Ultimate Food and Wine Experience

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Cubby, Christine, Kristen hanging out with you. It is Light FM.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And are you ready? It is that time of the week, Christine.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: We try to do it on Thursdays because there's a game.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: The first NFL game of season of, I'm sorry, not
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: season two, week two is tonight. And we got Buffalo
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: playing in their brand new stadium. And who are they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: playing again?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Detroit.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Detroit. Nobody in this room is picking them in the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: NFL Survivor Pool this week, right? Right. Okay. But wanted
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to throw it out there. There is a game tonight.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know what a survivor pool is,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: it's a season-long contest where you pick one NFL team
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to win straight up each week. One single wrong choice.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: You're eliminated. Except for our team, we're playing with two strikes. Okay.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So if you miss one, you can hang in there
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: another week.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You mean another chance.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you. But here's the story before we get to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: our picks. Kristen, who won last year, if she misses
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: this week, She's done for the year because she missed
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: She can't. She can't be.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: She's already burned a strike. We need her in it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So here we go. Oh, wow. This week's picks. Yes. Christine,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: who are you going with?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Cubby, I am going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the Browns. All right.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Pretty good choice, actually.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But not an animal, which.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Is weird for you.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I deviated. I was leaning towards another team because I
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: wanted an animal, but I want a team that I know...
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Like I'll be okay later in the season.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yes. I think that's a good choice. All right.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And Kristen supports you too.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Kristen.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Kristen cannot speak, but we can tell you who she picked.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: 49ers over Dolphins. Is that correct? Give me an odd yes.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I got that right? Okay. So if the 49ers beat
• 25:32
