• 0:50
  Speaker 2: here for. I'm so sorry.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know you've met him a long time ago, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he's still, like, down to earth, super cool guy. We're
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: going to air the interview probably later this week, but
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: he came in a little after 9 yesterday, and we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: recorded an interview, and it was cool. Talked about some
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: new music, has a new album coming out in a.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Couple of weeks.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. The pictures look fantastic.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: But so, like, down to earth, like, you know, 22 years,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: over 22 years he's been doing it, and he hasn't
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: changed since, I don't know if you remember this, but
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: when we used to work at that station down the hall.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you remember we did a retreat? You do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I remember really well.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They put all the DJs. We hung out at Chelsea
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Piers one afternoon. It was a combination of work and play.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We were going over all the things for the new
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: fall season or something.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And then we had like two hours to play around.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But they brought John Legend in, this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: New artist we'd never heard of. And he had his
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: piano and he did Ordinary People, his first ever hit.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: That was in 2004. We're like, you know, maybe this
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: guy will do something.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He's going to be famous.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: He actually, a little bit of trivia from my world,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: so you know. Eric is a drummer, had his own band.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So John Legend, before he was John Legend, I think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: his name was Stevens?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Opened for Eric's band.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Get out.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So he's got like a poster. And he's like, he's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: got his CD, like an EP.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And then years later, Eric played with John Legend at
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Kennedy Center.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm trying to think of like all the tie-ins.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you forget how many famous people your fiance, Eric,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: has drummed with.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: You were saying like you could watch TV.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And he's yes.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: And he there's a band playing on TV.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, you know. Oh, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: That's my friend.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, honey. You met him. No, you don't remember.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Come on. You know, I'm supposed to keep track.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: That's pretty cool of everybody.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And it's hard.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah. But John Legend definitely stands out for Eric and,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know, said the same. He said he was a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: really great guy. You could tell he was a super talent,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Well, we're going to bring Eric in here and drum
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit live on the air.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He can drum a little bit. Maybe he can do
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the interview for me when I'm not well, because he
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: seemed to know a lot about him.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you'll be here for this interview today. Judy Torres
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: will be live in studio.

• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Covey and Christine's. Two pretty cool things.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Christine, we're going back to the 80s. The
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Miami Vice people. They're doing a Miami Vice reboot starring
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, and they're going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be filming in New York City. And if you're a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: police officer in the tri-state area, And you think you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: can pass for a cop from the 80s, basically.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: This might be a cool thing for you. The casting
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: directors are.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Looking for male law enforcement in their 20s through the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: 50s to cast as extras.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Mustaches are preferred, but not full beards.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And they plan on filming beginning next week into next month. Now,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: if you're interested, head to castingnetworks.com. Castingnetworks.com. But looking for
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: real police officers... New York, New Jersey, heck, even Connecticut,

  Speaker 3: Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Why, what did I say?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You just made our day.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Did I say?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That's a really nice cast.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're hot.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, I got you. I thought maybe I said Michael
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Jordan like the basketball player. Because lately I've been like. No, no, you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I think I had a stroke. You did. Because a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago, I just been, I can't find words.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. So I was afraid
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: maybe I messed something up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: No, I was just enjoying hearing about the cast.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: So Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler. Yes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Will be in town filming.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It'll be hot like Miami.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: What's your cool thing?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Just as hot. It's Looney Tunes. Krispy Kreme and Warner

  Speaker 2: Brothers have teamed up for a new donut collection. The
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Looney Tunes Halloween Collection. I love this. So it includes
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: four new donuts decorated with the classic characters Bugs Bunny,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Lola Bunny, Tweety, Sylvester, And has. We've got details on them,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like Bugs is an unglazed donut filled with chocolate dulce cream,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and Lola is an original glazed ring decorated with gold
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: sprinkles and a swirl of buttercream flavor icing. They all
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: sound really, really good. It's a special collection. It's available
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: at Krispy Kreme starting today for a limited time.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Welcome back, Christine. It's Light FM.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Next on Light FM.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, if you're about to have breakfast and you're right
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: in front of your table, can you hang in there
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: for 21 more minutes?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you have to.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Don't eat until 7. It's 106.7 Light FM, Cubby and Christine.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: We have a story about the best time for breakfast,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and apparently it's between 7 and 8, right?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yes. So what's the deal?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I guess if you're working normal hours, you can do that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking if you're not up supremely early. Yeah, researchers
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: are saying that you should be eating between 7 and 8.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Because you'll have the lowest mortality risk.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And what happens if you wait until 8? If you
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: wait later.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Then it's linked to a 10% higher risk of death.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: If you eat breakfast between 8 and 10?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: 10% higher risk of death?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Between 10 a.m. and noon, 19% higher. And for people
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: who don't eat their first meal until afternoon, that risk
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: goes up to 29%.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: So....
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Meal timing can affect the body's internal clock, which plays
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a role in your circadian rhythm and your metabolism. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: so also they say that eating dinner between 7 and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: 8 p.m.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Is the best.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And you should avoid eating after midnight. Again, I think
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: this is all like, how does your day pitch? Do
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: We're all different, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Like, do you start your day earlier? Because dinner between
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: 7 and 8 sounds late to me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Like everything for us is shifted about three hours ahead.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So maybe if you're up right now.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Like if you get up at 3.30 like we do,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m., you're probably having breakfast maybe at 5.30, 6 a.m.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And having dinner at 4 p.m. Right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Makes more sense.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty crazy. So again, between 7 and 8
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is the sweet spot.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It just looks like the message I'm taking away from
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: this is the earlier you start in the day you're eating,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the better, the healthier for you. I mean, that's why
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I was told by a nutritionist years ago. She's like,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: get your metabolism going like as soon as you get up.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I want to try intermittent fasting. I know this is
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: off topic.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But Kristen gave me a weird look. Is it hard?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Have you done it before? No? You've never done it?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of thinking about, you know, how we like
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: get up in the morning, just have coffee and don't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: eat anything until maybe lunch.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And I don't know about you, but we eat lunch
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: like at 11 a.m.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Because we get up so early. Yes. But is that,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think you have to go longer than that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Well, you get like a, do you get a six
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: hour window to eat or something?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I have to do more research on it, but I've
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: heard great things about it. Especially if you want to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: shed a few pounds like I do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, you've got like all you're thinking
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to do really, really early, like right now. So like
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you need some fuel right now. So maybe your window,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like where you would eat, would start super, super early
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and just close. Boom. At like two or three in
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the afternoon.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to let me know, 44363. We're on text,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: always available to hear from you.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Next on Light FM.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you're driving right now, are you driving in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the best city to drive in?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: You're shaking your head no, Christine.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: No, you're not.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: We have a list. It's 106.7 Light FM, Cubby, Christine,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and Kristen.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: All right, where is the best city to drive in?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's nowhere near here, Covey. It's Scottsdale, Arizona.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Well, that makes sense. Plenty of desert to swerve. Oh, okay,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I've got plenty of room to go off the road.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is all, we could have predicted this.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So WalletHub did a survey, right, about the best and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the worst cities to drive in. And it's rated on
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: driver friendliness, the cost of ownership and maintenance, traffic, infrastructure,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: gas prices. Put it all together and what do you get?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The best city to drive in is Scottsdale, Arizona, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the worst is Philadelphia.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: New York, no way to make number one. We're at
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: number four on the worst.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: On the worst.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: So beating us out, we have Philadelphia at number one
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: for the worst, followed by Washington, D.C., L.A., New York City,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: then Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, California, Seattle, Baltimore, and San Francisco.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it makes sense with Philly.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to come down hard here on Pennsylvania,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but I've noticed a lot of Pennsylvania license plates drive wacky.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And if you have a Pennsylvania license plate, I apologize
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to you. Maybe you're not the one. But I seem
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to notice a lot of PA license plates do crazy
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: maneuvers on the road.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It's just an observation. But then again, in Pennsylvania, they
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: may be saying... New Jersey.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: People are nuts.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But we always think so, right? Like you're in New
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Jersey and you see New York plates and it's like, oh,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: New York driver. And then you're in New York and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you see Jersey plates and it's all Jersey driver.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It's all subjective where you are, I guess.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It really, really is. But yeah, Philadelphia is very challenging
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to drive through, though.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And we're New York City drivers and I find it
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a little intimidating.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And we've been doing it for years. Yeah. Yet it
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: still gets intimidating. It does.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So the best cities, you know, if we want to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: move and we want an easy ride. Scottsdale, Arizona, Boise, Idaho,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Fort Wayne, Indiana, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Corpus Christi in Texas.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: The best cities to drive in right there. All right. Well,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: you'll be doing a traffic update in just a bit.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about our city. Judy Torres. You know her.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: You love her.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: She's on the radio. She has freestyle music. She has
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a memoir.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: And we'll talk to her live in studio at 8 o'clock.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: And what do you have coming up in the news?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: How to tell if you're upper class. You may not
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: even know it and you are.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Next on Light FM.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: They make sleep easy.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: WLTW New York.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Light FM 658 on this Wednesday. Christine is back and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: she has everything you need to know.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Christine.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Covey. Today marks the third anniversary of the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Hamas attack on Israel launched from Gaza. that resulted in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: more than 1,200 deaths and several hundred kidnappings. And people
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: are being remembered today. President Trump says he's going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: speak with Vladimir Putin over reports of the plague in Russia.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Trump said he hopes to provide a new update about
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the situation in Russia by Wednesday. Officials said at first
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a woman at an anti-plague research institute died from an
• 11:45

  Speaker 2: to maintain it as an amusement park, but it's just
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: gotten too expensive for them. So they hope to see
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: someone with another vision for it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: If you had $ 85 million, Christine Nagy, you would totally
• 12:15

• 13:07
  Speaker 2: A full service groundskeeper. A private chef. A personal trainer. Okay. No,

  Speaker 2: me company too.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.

  Speaker 1: just talked about, but I want to elaborate more on it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: It's Light FM, Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen. What were you
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: saying now?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: There are certain things you could check off, and if
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you check off a lot of these, you're considered kind
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of rich.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You're upper class and you may not know it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Upper class, yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: But I think you know it. But anyway, yeah. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: this is like according to Money Digest. If you have
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a home cleaning service, a personal shopper, A full service groundskeeper,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a private chef, a personal trainer, private security, a chauffeur.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Now I have two of those things. Does that mean
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I'm rich?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Which two?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a housekeeper and I have a landscaping
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: company because I'm not going to cut the grass.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: But you don't have like a housekeeper like Alice on
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Brady Bunch like live-in.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, like a live-in? No, no, no, no.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: No, like I have. somebody coming.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Every two weeks? Yeah, yeah. Oh, that doesn't count.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't make me upper class.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: You need someone that's there and making meals.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And kind of cleaning all day long. Oh, please.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Making the bed. Please.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Please do this. Like, is the universe here, you cubby?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I need help. Yeah, I was just thinking, if you
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: could have one of those, you could only choose one.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Which would it be? Would you want a private chef?
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: See.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Would you want... It'd be between a chef.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: It'd be between that and a housekeeper.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But the housekeeper, like you mentioned, like an Alice from
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Brady Bunch.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: That could be a chef too.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: She's like, well, Alice did everything.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: She really did.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: She was amazing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And I always thought that the Brady Bunch had a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: cool house because they had a grill inside the kitchen.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry about that one.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: But no, that's okay. So if you had to choose one,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I know, so you have housekeeping coming in like every
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. I think a lot of us do now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Are you going housekeeping?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: No, I... I said before, I need a personal assistant.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, you said that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I want one so bad.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: How about you, Kristen? What are you doing?
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I want a nanny.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: They want a nanny.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kristen wants a nanny.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: That makes sense.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Well, text us at 44363 because we're going to pick
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: somebody at random and give you what you asked for.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, that would be really nice. Well, maybe if they
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: want a chauffeur because, you know, you're good with getting
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the kids to their appointments and everything.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: And I did drive for Lyft for a whole two weeks.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, you did?
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: You did.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Can you believe that?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: What happened? Did you burn out or you just?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I realized that you don't know where you're going
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: until you pick somebody up.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And I thought it'd be fun. This is before kids.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: And I thought it'd be fun to just, I like driving.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So my wife said, why don't you just do Uber
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: or Lyft? I don't know why I picked Lyft, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I picked Lyft and they were fine. And I picked
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: people up in my neighborhood. And you don't know where
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you're going until you get in the car and you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: hit a button. So you could be in New Jersey
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and boom, you got to go to Queens and you
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: already have the person in your car.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: You can't cancel the ride.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Get out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: That was like six years ago. So I don't know
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: if it's changed. But I'm pretty sure you don't know
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the route you're going until they get in the car.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: But I did a lot of Newark runs.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I had East Brunswick to Newark a lot, which I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: didn't mind that. But I'd be on the turnpike again
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: at 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's stressful. That was stressful. But anyway.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: No, this would be a chauffeur, so it wouldn't matter.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Where you want to go or what you want to do,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: this person is there.

  Speaker 4: Very excited. Very, very excited.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: This gorgeous cover, by the way.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Really beautiful and really emotional, deep. photo thank you love it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah we when we did the photo when we did
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the photo shoot I just I was getting tired of
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: like looking at the camera directly and smiling so I
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: just kind of went into my own zone and I
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: was like what is like no reason to cry look
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: like in a picture.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: And that's I just thought yeah that's good yeah so
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: no reason to cry has been your song your stage
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: show and now your book what is it about the
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: meaning of no reason to cry that resonates.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: With you I think it's that in life we all
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: suffer from traumas, right? Like nobody goes unscathed in this world.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Everyone goes through something. And I think that a lot
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: of times people get stuck when that happens and they
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: don't know how to work through it. And so I
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: feel like you have to make a decision to just
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: keep on keeping on. And then eventually you realize that
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: your story is not defining you. It's just helping you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: So if you can figure out and decide that you're
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: just going to go forward, then the trauma has meaning
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: instead of like, oh my God, this happened to me.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: So you're not feeling sorry for yourself. You're not victimized.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: So no reason to cry means pick yourself up and
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: know that in the end, there is no reason to cry.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Judy, right now, I know so many people
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: so many of us are going through difficult moments and
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: stages and feeling like you said, like, why is this
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: happening to me? And is this ever going to end?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: And is that why you felt it was important to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: come and share your story? Because you really serve as
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: an inspiration for us.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think especially now, you know, at my age,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: and my age, years of experience, 58 years of experience,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I felt like this is the time because it's now
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: or never, we're running out of time. And I feel
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: like You can't put a question mark where God has
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: put a period. So if you are feeling bad, you
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: have a choice. You can either decide to say, oh,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: my God, this happened to me. Or you can say,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: what am I going to do about it? So instead
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: of asking, why did this happen? Ask, how can I
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: fix it? So I thought, yeah, I thought this was
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: a good time to do it, especially that life is
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: so precious. And as you get older, you start to
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: realize how precious it really is.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Now, your book has a lot of tough moments in there.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Which one do you want to address on the radio?
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: You can address any one you want. I put it
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: on paper so we can talk about anything.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I had no idea, and I've known you for a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: What a dark period you were going through in 1994
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: with a suicide attempt.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really, really hard. I was at my
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: lowest in my life. I went from having three to
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: five shows a weekend to absolutely nothing. You know, I
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: couldn't pay my mortgage. I didn't have any shows all
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of a sudden. I wasn't on the radio anymore.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Is it because the music was changing?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the music was changing and they had decided that
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: they weren't playing freestyle anymore.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Right, because freestyle was really huge in the 80s and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: into the early 90s, actually. So, yeah, 94 makes sense
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: because it was kind of changing then.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: So all of a sudden, boom, like it literally happened
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: in one day with one sentence. We are no longer
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: playing freestyle on the radio. And it was just like, what?
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: So then I had debt collectors calling me. I had
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: a boyfriend who was, I had broken up with him
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: and he was stalking me for like a year and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: a half. It was a true, true nightmare. And I
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: just hit rock bottom. But then I realized it's not
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: that I really wanted to die. I just wanted the
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: pain to stop. And I think for people who are
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: suffering from depression, that's what you've got to remember. It's
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: not that you really want to go. It's that you're
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: in pain and you don't know how to get the
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: pain to stop. So I think it's important that you
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: get help. I think it's important that you change your environment, right?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Because your internal conversation can get really bad. So get
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: out of the house, get up, call someone, do something.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Don't stay in the same place because that's where you
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: just go down the abyss further and further.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: And your mind takes control. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: And Judy, I think, you know, your music, just the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: way you live your life, I think you've brought people
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: so much joy. And I don't know that we ever
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: could have imagined you were going through all of this
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: at the same time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's the thing about depression sometimes. There
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: are people who are functioning with it very well. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I would still once in a while do a show,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: and then I would go home and just bawl my
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: eyes out for four hours. But nobody ever knew.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because most people are wired after a show, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they can't fall asleep for four hours.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: You're still on adrenaline. But you would actually kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: go into.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: A dark hole. Yeah, it was really bad. The good
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: thing is that Once I got help, I had a
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: lot of people around me who were helping. And so
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: people would recognize the signs. Oh, we haven't heard from
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: her in a couple of days. Let's check on her.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I think that's important. When you know someone really well
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: and you notice all of a sudden they're not giving
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: you a call, pick up the phone and call them
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, are you okay? And then after they say,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: I'm fine, say, no, are you really okay?
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: How are you really?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people still don't tell the truth though. Like, oh,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine. And you try to press them.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And they're just not giving it up. But you know
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: something's there.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. But you're right. You've got to pry
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: it out of people so you can help them.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Was music, show business, acting, all of it, like always,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: your dream and also your escape? You know, if day-to-day
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: life was a little bit rough, this was your happy place.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. My childhood, as much as I had a great,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I had a good childhood. I had good memories. I
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: had a great mom. My mom was a fantastic mom.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: But it was very violent in my home. as growing
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: up as a child. And so, yeah. And so I
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: was muted a lot. You know, I was taught to
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: be silent, be quiet, be a good girl. And so
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't know how to express myself. So when I
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: started to sing in, you know, singing in the bathroom,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: singing in the bedroom, I was like, Hey, this feels good.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: I want to do this. And then once I saw
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz, I was like, I
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: want to be a singer. That's what I want to do.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: And so, yeah, it relieves everything, even to this day.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: I just love it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: What do you think about now how freestyle, there's all
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: these shows with people flashing back, people love nostalgia.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And you went from that dark hole in 1994. to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: now freestyle and all the people that you used to
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: play with back in the 80s are now thriving.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And doing shows.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: And I have as many shows now that I had
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: back then.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: So it's a testament to like, you never know how
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: good your life can turn out. You have to hang
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: in there. You just got to stick it out and
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: you don't give up. Because things happen. And look, I
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: never would have imagined I would have been a radio
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: personality on the radio ever.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: You're still on KTU, right?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still on KTU, 27 years now. I never
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: would have imagined I would have my own one-woman show.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: And I definitely wouldn't have imagined I would have a
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: book or be in Blue Bloods or be in a
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: movie or anything like that. So it's just amazing. I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: so glad that I failed at the attempt because life
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: turned out really great. And that's why I want my
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: life to serve as testimony to that everything is going
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: to be okay. And every day is a new day,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: it's a new chance, it's a new opportunity for things
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: to be better. So just hang in there.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I know this book is especially for Judy Torres fans
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: but what if like you know you loosely know Judy
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Torres who should buy this book why should they buy this.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Book everybody should buy this book I think I think
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: it's good I think it speaks a lot to many
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: women A lot of women can identify with what those
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: things feel like, you know, being told to be quiet,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: be a good girl, that kind of thing. I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: also it speaks to a lot of Latinos. I'm originally
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: from the Bronx. So a lot of people who are
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: from the Bronx really love the book because I talk
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: about the Bronx in detail. And yeah, I think anyone
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: who needs inspiration, encouragement and empowerment should read this book.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: And are you doing that for people now?
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Do you?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Are you actually finding time to help coach people one-on-one?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Because I'm reading that you're a life coach as well.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been a certified life coach for just about
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: eight years now. And I love doing it. And ironically,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: the majority of my clients are fans. So that's an
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: interesting situation.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Are you signing autographs at the end of the sessions
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: and all that?
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I have to let them know from the very get-go, like,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: this is not Judy Torres, the singer. This is Judy Torres,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: your life coach. It's going to be a very different experience.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: But I don't do, I don't have as many clients
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: now because everything's been so busy promoting the book and
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: I do a lot of shows. But I do love
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: it and I find it's a wonderful way to give back.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Also, I just want to mention like you started, you
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: signed with a modeling agency. At 54.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Crazy, right?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely love it because I think some of us are
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: afraid to like even dream. And there's never a point
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: where we should stop dreaming.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: You should not. It's, you know, my mom told me,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: ever since you were a kid, you've been this way.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: She's like, it's like you see a star and you go, mom,
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: look at this star.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: It's so pretty.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: And she goes, and then you grab the star and
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: you're like, wait a minute, there's another star here. So
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: I just feel like I keep asking myself, what else
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: can I do? What else is there? Like modeling was
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: an accident. I was sitting next to a woman at
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: a fashion show. Jokingly, I said to her, wow, I
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: wonder if anybody's looking for plus size models. And she goes, well,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: I actually own an agency. Do you have a book?
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I said, no, I don't. And she says, well, I
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: can get you a book, but you'll have to come
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to Minnesota. And two weeks later, I was in Minnesota
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: doing pictures, and then I got signed. And then maybe
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: about a month later, I got signed with another agency,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Seasoned Models. They only represent women over 40, which I love.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: And so, yeah, you never know. You just have to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: keep your mind and your heart open that anything is possible.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Every single day, I light a candle, and I say,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: let me be the light. Today is another opportunity to
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: be the light. And I'm always expecting something wonderful to happen.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: And ever since I've been doing that, crazy, amazing things
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: have been happening.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: No wonder you're a life coach.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And let's do that every day.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Every day.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So the book is No Reason to Cry, a memoir.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: And you're actually signing copies of the book. I know
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: you had a signing last night, right?
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: I did in the Bronx.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: In the Bronx.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: And you have an October 15th. at Cafe Paris in Batucha,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, October 16th, Barnes & Noble, Staten Island, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: October 20th, Barnes & Noble, Staten Island.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I'm doing Barnes & Noble.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I'm doing Barnes & Noble.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: How cool is that?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: When we did the one in Paramus, I was crying.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I've been so emotional. I've been so happy. So thank
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: you to everybody who, you know, who bought it. Thank
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: you for having me. It's just been an amazing experience.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: And I want to thank you for the shout out.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: You're welcome. I saw my name in your book.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: I got a little cover mention. Yeah, it was pretty cool.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of people forgot you used to fill in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: for Carolina. When I was at KTU, Judy would fill
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: in for Carolina. And it's so funny because you're such
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a superstar, Judy Torres, but she would come in nervous.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Every time.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you've been on the radio for 27 years.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: She'd be like, I don't know. I got to do
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: the entertainment news. I got to do the regular news.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: And those shoes were, they were big shoes to fill.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: But you always crushed it, you know?
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Well, that's because I had a wonderful, you know, Christine,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: I know we have a wonderful co-host.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: We are the luckiest girls working with him.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Exactly. When I filled in for Carolina, it was like
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: almost three months, I think.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: And I remember the last day. I was like crying. Like,
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: I don't want to stop working with coffee. It was
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: a great experience. Yeah. No, you're a fantastic human being.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: And so are you.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. You too.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: You've got Judy Torres. I had to play that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: That's so old.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Do you still play that on KTU?
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: I don't, but I should.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: When AOL was really popular and you were on the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: air at KTU, she used to kick off her show
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: with this.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Welcome. You've got Judy Torres. Oh my God. That's so old. Yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: All right, Judy, we love you. Get the book, No
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Reason to Cry. It'll make you cry. It'll make you smile.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: It's a great book. Thank you, Judy.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Cubby and Christine. Appreciate it.
