  Speaker 1: We need some coffee.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: 106.7 Light FM. We're waking up, though. It's Cubby, Christine,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: producer Kristen. I just warmed up coffee number two for
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the morning. Had one on the way in. Yes. And
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I get all my coffee for free at home and
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: then here. Oh. You have your coffee cart guy.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, Carlos.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yes. But there's a debate online if just, you know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: coffee places like stores, like a Starbucks or whatever. Yep.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Do they open up early enough?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: This is like it's going viral on social media. The
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: country is divided, Cubby.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: So is there like a.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Do coffee shops open early enough? Some people say yes.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Some people say uh-uh.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Do they give out like a time that most open
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: or are we just guessing here? Because I just go
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: by the... There's a Starbucks two blocks away from here
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and they don't open until 5 a.m. And to me,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of late for New York City Midtown.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Because we're already here. You know, when we're walking into
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: our building, there's people going to the gym next door.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Like, we're not the only ones who are up this
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: early and we need our coffee.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And there's other coffee places that are not open yet.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: They're not open.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: That's why the coffee cart guys are winning.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: They're like, yes.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They're set up. They're out there. So very happy to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: see them. I mean, yeah, you know, I guess it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: depends on where you are in the country because some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: people are complaining their coffee shops don't open until 9 a.m.,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: which sounds crazy.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Where are you living?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Do you want business?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Montana.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I know. But, yeah, I mean, how do you find it?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Do you think? Coffee shops, I think in general, I'm
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: trying to think of like my New Jersey ones, were
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: never home during the week. So I'm not sure. I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: think 6 a.m.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I think. For like your home?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: For like bagel places and coffee shops near me. Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Which wouldn't be early enough, obviously.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Right. I know one of the bagel places that has
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: coffee is 6 o'clock in Milltown, New Jersey.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I pass that a lot.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: That seems late to me, too.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That seems late.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But again, Milltown, East Brunswick, where I live, that area
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: is still considered kind of small.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What about, like, do you pass any 24-hour break
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: glass emergency Dunkin' Donuts or Wawa or something?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: There's a Dunkin' in Milltown. I mention Milltown a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: because I drive through there on the way to work.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: There's a Dunkin' in Milltown that used to be 24-7.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And about four years ago, during the pandemic, they started
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: opening at 6. Oh, yeah. And I think they're still
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: 6 because I drive by it and it's dark. Yeah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of 4.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like that happened a lot after the pandemic.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of 24-7 places are no longer 24-7.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: But I feel like we're in an earlier state now
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. I feel like everything, like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: for example, the Lincoln Tunnel, you said, has an hour
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: delay right now. Yeah. I feel like everyone's getting up earlier.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It does. No, I think so.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Are they trying to get a jumpstart?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I think people are trying to get a jumpstart. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: think they're on to, like, if you can get out
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: there early, because on the weekends, like, even grocery shopping
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and everything, if you went early, nobody was there, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it's now, like, Uh-oh, they're on to us. Like if
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you get up early, you can beat the crowds because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we are just overcrowded, you know?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And people are doing dinner earlier. We've done stories about that. Yes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Which we're fans of.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Although that was like, that was our time, 4 p.m. dinner,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Now everyone's doing 4, 4.30.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got to now get a table at 4 p.m.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but how do you feel like, where do you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: land on the coffee debate? Do you think our coffee
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: shops need to open earlier?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 44363 hit us up on text.
