FULL SHOW: Cubby and Christine Both Spent $50 Over The Weekend For Different Reasons, Most Haunted Road In America Is In New Jersey, Ritz Crackersgate, + More! · The Cubby and Christine Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back from the weekend. Hope you had a great weekend.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM is on. Cubby, Christine, and Kristen, we
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: are back together kind of talking about our weekend. I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: have 70 pumpkins in the backseat of my car if
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you need them.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: 70.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: 70. Yes, but thankfully not the big ones. We bought
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Miss Corinne, you know, the daycare director at Miles' Daycare.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: She needed 70 pumpkins. They're the small, like, almost like
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a little bigger than a softball. Okay. You know, they're
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: really small.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And the kids will use them to paint on them. Oh, okay.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And she usually orders some from New Jersey, but we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: have that little getaway home in PA. So we were
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania this weekend, and they're a lot cheaper there.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, go for it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Only 55 bucks for 70 little small pumpkins.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It's a good deal, right? So they're in the back
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of the car right now, and I'll take them to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Miss Corinne later on today. But that was my weekend,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: hanging out in PA and making sure my tire pressure
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was okay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Very important right now.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Did you get your ping on your car?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't ping yet, but I also spent around 50
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: bucks this past weekend.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. So.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And it has to do with tires. Yes.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So you went to a brothel and when you were
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: driving to the brothel. OK, wait a minute. Hang on.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I sort of went to a brothel.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You went to a show involving a brothel, which we'll
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: get to in a second. But when you pulled in,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the guy noticed you had a flat tire.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yes. So my friend Ann Sayre and I, right, we
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: go to see shows together all the time. We love it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So we went to see Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen, which
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is now playing off-Broadway at the Culture Club, which is, yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a story about Colette in a brothel. And it's, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it's really cool, Covey. You walk in there and you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: feel like you're in a brothel.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You had me a brothel.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's a cool setting.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sold.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's a great cast, Sophia and Caruso, like really wonderful cast,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: really great show. The music is by Duncan Sheik. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: let me just say all that. So, you know, there's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a great show playing off Broadway. But when we pulled
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: into the parking garage and picked me up, we come
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: into New York City. They're like, miss, miss, as we're
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: walking away and we turn around, flat tire.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Well, at least it happened when you got there.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Thankfully, we made it to the parking garage, but flat
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like pancake. I'm surprised she wasn't driving on her rim.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We're lucky we were there. So, the guys are discussing
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: amongst themselves, will they change this tire for us? Will
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: they offer to change it? And they do, and they're like, $ 50. Well, okay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That doesn't sound too bad, actually.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: They want $ 50 cash.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking convenience at this point.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Like, they'll get it done while I'm at the show.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know. I have AAA. I wanted to call AAA,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and she's right. Who knows how long we would be there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It could take a while.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Right, and we wanted to get into the show, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: then you just want to get home.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And what if they need you while you're at the show?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, you've got to be there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You've got to be there with them. I happened to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: go to the ATM. I had $ 60 cash, which they took.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And then I'm like, can I get change, please?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Getting money for the brothel.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Can I please? Yes, exactly. Can I get that in singles?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Which is not the same thing as singles for a brothel.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But it took a lot for me to just say,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to get the $ 10 back. They really didn't want me
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to have that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: They wanted to pocket the extra $ 10. The $ 60.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, let us just keep it. And it's like, dude,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: this is already for me. Kind of an expensive eating.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So they changed it, thankfully, and got home safely on
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: her donut. Oh. I have to check with her. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: don't know what happened with the original tire. Because we
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: never just added air or anything to see how it was.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Right. It might be able to be used again.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And maybe they discarded it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: They could save it. So you don't think we got
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: ripped off? Because I felt like 50 bucks was steep.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I personally don't. Producer Kristen, do you think she got
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: ripped off?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She says no, too. Because, again, it's back to convenience. Like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they happen to notice it. They said they'll take care
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of it. I'd be like, all right, just, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want to worry about it. Just take care
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of it. That's what I would think. But if I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: was at home in my driveway.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And I had time, I'd be like, yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: AAA and all that. But did Christine get ripped off? 44363.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And check your tire pressure. Again, with this cold weather, again,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: if you had, like, say, a 42 PSI, it's probably
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a 36 PSI now. It goes down in this cold weather.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It heats up a little bit when you're driving, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there's a higher risk of flat tires with that first
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: cold burst of the season.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Don't be like Anne and me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Don't be like Anne and Christine. And hit us up
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on text. We're available. What are you up to these days?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I need to tell you two things.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Cubby and Christine's.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Two pretty cool things.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You want to give the kids Halloween costumes a practice run? Well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Boo at the Zoo is happening at the Bronx Zoo
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on weekends through November 1st, including this Saturday and Sunday,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: October 24th and 25th. There's a candy trail, costume parades,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: pumpkin carving demonstrations, a new animal-inspired hay maze challenge course.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The Halloween activities are included with zoo admission at the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Bronx Zoo.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That is so cute. I love that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And we've got some good weather for that, too.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Nice stretch of sunshine and cool temperatures. Hey, what is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: your cool thing?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It's never going to hit 80 again.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's never going to hit 80 degrees this year.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Okay. Running gag. Sorry. This is great news. Chocolate may
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: be the key to better exercise.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I better hit the gym.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Take it. Let's go. This new study from the Frontiers
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in Physiology says that simply smelling chocolate while exercising adds
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: more reps. How about eating it? Yes. But even a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: whiff of chocolate made people who were working out do
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: more repetitions and not even feel it. Like they weren't
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: complaining that they were exercising harder. Dark chocolate created the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: best results by double and bonus made them feel less hungry.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't make fun of Planet Fitness anymore because
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: when I did go to Planet Fitness back in the day,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I noticed they had M & Ms right when you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: walked out of the place.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's funny. They have chocolates. at a place
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you're about to work out.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But maybe on the way in is the key. Have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: them on the way in rather than out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yes. Get your boost.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Light FM.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: We need some coffee. 106.7 Light FM. We're waking up though.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen. I just warmed up coffee
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: number two for the morning. Had one on the way in.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And I get all my coffee for free at home
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and then here. Oh. You have your coffee cart guy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, Carlos.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yes. But there's a debate online if just, you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: coffee places like stores, like a Starbucks or whatever. Yep.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Do they open up early enough?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: This is like it's going viral on social media. The
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: country is divided, Cubby.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So is there like a.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Do coffee shops open early enough? Some people say yes.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Some people say uh-uh.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Do they give out like a time that most open
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: or are we just guessing here? Because I just go
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: by the... There's a Starbucks two blocks away from here,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and they don't open until 5 a.m. And to me,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of late for New York City Midtown.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Because we're already here. You know, when we're walking into
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: our building, there's people going to the gym next door.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Like, we're not the only ones who are up this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: early and we need our coffee.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And there's other coffee places that are not open yet.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They're not open.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's why the coffee cart guys are winning.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, they are.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: They're like, yes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: They're set up. They're out there. So very happy to
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: see them. I mean, yeah, you know, I guess it
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: depends on where you are in the country because some
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: people are complaining their coffee shops don't open until 9 a.m.,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: which sounds crazy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Where are you living?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Do you want business?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Montana?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I know. But yeah, I mean, how do you find it?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Do you think? Coffee shops, I think in general, I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: trying to think of like my New Jersey ones, were
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: never home during the week. So I'm not sure. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: think 6 a.m.? I think.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: For like your home?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: For like bagel places and coffee shops near me. Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Which wouldn't be early enough, obviously.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Right. I know one of the bagel places that has
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: coffee is 6 o'clock in Milltown, New Jersey. I pass
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that a lot. That seems late to me, too.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: That seems late.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: But again, Milltown, East Brunswick, where I live, that area
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is still considered kind of small. Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: What about, like, do you pass any 24-hour break glass
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: emergency Dunkin' Donuts or Wawa or something?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: There's a Dunkin' in Milltown. I mention Milltown a lot
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because I drive through there on the way to work.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: There's a Dunkin' in Milltown that used to be 24-7.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And about four years ago, during the pandemic, they started
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: opening at 6. Oh, yeah. And I think they're still
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: 6 because I drive by it and it's dark. Yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of 4.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I feel like that happened a lot after the pandemic.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: A lot of 24-7 places are no longer 24-7.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But I feel like we're in an earlier state now
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. I feel like everything, like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for example, the Lincoln Tunnel, you said, has an hour
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: delay right now. Yeah. I feel like everyone's getting up earlier.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It does. No, I think so.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Are they trying to get a jump start?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I think people are trying to get a jump start.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I think they're on to, like, if you can get
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: out there early, because on the weekends, like, even grocery
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: shopping and everything, if you went early, nobody was there,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: but it's now, like, Oh, they're on to us. Like
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: if you get up early, you can beat the crowds
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: because we are just overcrowded.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You know, and people are doing dinner earlier. We've done
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: stories about that. Yes. Which we're fans.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Although that was like that was our time. 4 p.m. dinner.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You know, everyone's doing everybody's.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Got to now get a table at 4 p.m.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But how do you feel like where do you land
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: on the coffee debate? Do you think our coffee shops
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: need to open earlier?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 44363. Hit us up on text.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Don't drive down this road. Light FM. Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I know you do the traffic report sometimes, Christine. Anything
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: going on on Clinton Road at the moment in Passaic County?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Should I do the haunted traffic report?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So what's up with Clinton Road, a 10-mile stretch that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: runs north to south in New Jersey's Passaic County?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's specifically in West Milford. It is the country's
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: most haunted road. Don't you love these studies? Again, always
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: around Halloween we get this kind of stuff.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I get many goosebumps. I really do.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently if you drive on this road, legend has it,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you will see a ghost boy. It's called Dead Man's Curve.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: If you toss a coin off the bridge, the ghost
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: will toss it back. Drivers have also reported ghost lights,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: phantom cars, strange creatures, and other unexplained sightings. Also, it
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: goes through isolated woods where a serial killer is said
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to have dumped a body back in the 80s.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This is all on Clinton Road.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Just one little road.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: What if someone's on there right now in this very second?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: A 10-mile stretch that goes through the woods? That's, like,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: creepy enough.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: No streetlights. None of that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You must report back, please. 44363.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Or me.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: If you know this.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe your radio's getting staticky right now.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I know. That supposedly happened to someone when we were
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: talking about, you know, the doll Annabelle last week.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, you told me that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Radio, yes.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Somebody texted in about that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. That as we were talking about her. The radio
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: got all fuzzy, the volume dropped, and she said, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: didn't touch it. And then when you guys stopped talking
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: about her, sound came back.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You know, it's spooky season for sure. I would love
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to hear from you guys at 44363 if you know
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: anything about Clinton Road, if you've heard this. I know
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: producer Kristen, she's a big fan of the book Weird
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: New Jersey.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And that's been in there along with The Devil's Tree.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: People bring that up. Where is The Devil's Tree? Martinsville. Martinsville,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: New Jersey.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really know that area.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Something about a tree where just weird things have happened.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And you don't want to get near the tree or
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you'll be cursed or something like that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot. I remember, wasn't there a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: road in New Jersey, like, if you went up, you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: would roll back down for some reason? I remember talking
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: That sounds familiar. You're right, you're right. You know what's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: really scary? The Lincoln Tunnel inbound and outbound. Yeah. You
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: know what's really scary? The Holland Tunnel. You know what's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: scary as hell is George Washington Bridge. Anything where there's congestion.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It just, yes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's just downright scary.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: The level of stress is ridiculous. But yeah. So, yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: would you rather be stuck in traffic or driving on
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a haunted road?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: On Clinton Road. Hit us up.

  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.

• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to know. Good morning, Christine.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Cubby. And I know we're off to a
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: frosty start this morning and New Jersey drivers are being
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: warned to look out for deer activity and increase in
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: activity because it's the time of year when they're looking
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: for a mate. And I did see them. out on
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the sides of the road this morning, so please, please
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: be careful. Russian President Vladimir Putin suggesting a summit with
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: President Trump and Chinese leader Xi to negotiate ending Moscow's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: war in Ukraine. The summit would seemingly exclude Ukrainian President Zelensky.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Trump reportedly hasn't agreed to it as of yet. Early
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: voting is up and running across several states right now.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: We're a couple of weeks away from midterm elections. Pope
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Leo back at Vatican City. He gave Sunday blessings at St.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Peter's Square. This is after he had surgery removing a
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: lung tumor earlier this week. That's pretty quick. He looked really,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: really good. An expedition searching for Amelia Earhart's missing airplane
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: has come up empty-handed. I know we were kind of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: following this in the news, Cubby. This was an island
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in the South Pacific.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: We thought we were close.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: It was a large collection of trees. It wasn't wreckage.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I really thought they were on to something when I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: saw that story.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I know. So it still remains a mystery. Medicare open
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: enrollment has begun. Millions of Americans have a chance to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: review or change their coverage for 2027. And experts are saying,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: please really look into it because things have changed a lot.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: So you might want to switch things up. In sports,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Jets lost to the Patriots 26-19. Giants lost to the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Saints 34-27. Colts lost to the Titans 26-20.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So you kind of lost too.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Mine. Yeah, that was my pick. Tonight, Cubby, you're up.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: 49ers play the Commanders. And Kristen is safe. Patriots beat
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the Jets 26-19, as we said. So that was Kristen's pick. Okay.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Quirky cities in the U.S. Which cities would you say
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: march to the beat of their own drum? Austin, Texas
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: came up number one. They have a lot of outdoor
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: inclusive graffiti gallery, clothing optional parks, and a resident bat colony.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So they said that it's clear that Austin is not
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: your typical Texan city. Second on the weird quote-unquote city
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: list is Portland, Oregon, home of the World Naked Bike Ride.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Everything's naked.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It's followed by Santa Fe, New Mexico, New Orleans.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for New Orleans because I know that's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: your favorite place.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I love New Orleans. And San Francisco.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And no Nashville, though.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: No Nashville, but these are considered the quirkiest cities. Maybe
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Nashville's further down the list. I don't know, but I'll
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: take New Orleans, definitely. And I've yet to go to Austin.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I want to see Austin.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And we're doing that at the end of the year.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: So nice.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Book a ticket. We're going to be there for your birthday.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I don't want to go to the naked parks, though.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: What? Live a little.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: We know each other well enough.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: More Cubby and Christine and the great music variety you
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: expect next on Light FM.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gearing up for a trivia battle. We'll
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: get to that in a second. It's Light FM with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Cubby and Christine in the morning. Producer Kristen producing in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the background. And we have a controversy involving Ritz crackers.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We think. I haven't had Ritz in a long time.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I have. But.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Putting on the Ritz. What do you got on putting
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on the Ritz?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's it?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: That's all I got. Oh, you're such a tease. I know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I know. I thought there was I could play the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: whole song later.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. So I thought it was just me, right? Because,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I was sick recently. I had a virus
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and had a lot of chicken soup with Ritz crackers,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: which is a comfort food.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And the Price is Right was on. Yeah. That was
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: back in the day right there.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: That was back in the day. And I was kind
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: of like, what is with the Ritz crackers? They don't
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: taste the same. They seem like they're smaller. They don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: hold up. Like you take it out of the package
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and it's broken. I mean, you know. Just trying to
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: get over a virus here. Can I at least have
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: some decent Ritz crackers? Thought it was just me. It's
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a whole social media thing. So now I feel like, uh-huh.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You're not alone.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I am not alone, Cubby. People are complaining about Ritz
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: crackers online, kind of asking each other, what happened?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Did they change makers or something?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: No. It looks like they may have changed. I'm Googling now.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That they may have changed the recipe this year. They're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: trying to make them healthier. Ugh. I get it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, it comes back to health. I know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Why do we have to be healthy? So I guess
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: maybe they changed the kind of oil that they make
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: it in, right? Because that's supposed to be better for us.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And maybe there's less salt. I'm not sure. It's like.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Can they make two versions? Can they make the regular
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Ritz and then the Ritz Light?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: And they're smaller. To me, they're smaller. That's usually a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: money saver. Yes. Like, can we have... like nostalgic Ritz crackers,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: which we call them vintage old school Ritz.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And then for those of you who want to be healthy,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: people are complaining of shrink flation.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: They should have fat Ritz and skinny Ritz.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, but also this is, they're saying as of 2020, Oh,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: as of 2024, they do acknowledge that they had to
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: cut them by 30% because of pricing. So they're 30% smaller.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So the crackers are smaller.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: They are. So that's not my imagination either. But the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: ingredients have shifted a little bit.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: All right, well, chime in on this at 44363 if
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you're part of the whole Ritz controversy here.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: What happened to Ritz? Have you noticed the difference?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: See, I haven't had them in so long, so now
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to buy them just to see
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: if they are different.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right. I'm telling you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, we have something free to give away. The only
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: catch is you have to win a trivia battle. 1-800-222-1067.

  Speaker 1: of those teams beat Notre Dame.

  Speaker 3: Uh, BYU.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: BYU is correct. A controversial ending, too. Some people think

  Speaker 2: 150?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yes. Okay, write it down, Kristen. Don't tell us what

• 22:13
  Speaker 1: what Kristen picked.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

  Speaker 1: You can go either direction. And that was right down

• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 22:17

  Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine. And the great music variety you expect.

  Speaker 3: Next on Light FM.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Christine, do you mind if I share some of our
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: morning show text thread with the audience?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I know what stays on our text thread usually. Okay.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Stays on our text thread. Or what happens in Vegas
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: stays in Vegas. Yes. What happens on our text thread stays.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: It should, yeah. But this is a public service announcement, really.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You're about to out me, aren't you?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it's going to help people.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yes, it is, actually.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I was a little... Unsure of it and shocked? Shocked
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and awed. Yeah. So there's a thing on Instagram called Instapick.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And you sent a text to me and Kristen. This
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was like 4 p.m. on Friday.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: In a panic, yes.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You said, oh my gosh, what is this? And it's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a picture of you. It looks like a selfie of you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's horrible, yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And the room is very dark. There's not good lighting.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And it would be our studio.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. It's in our studio. And kind of... It's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: kind of looking up at you, almost like below the chin.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: The worst angle imaginable, it apparently was me checking my messages.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Right. And you didn't know if this picture initially was
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: from your computer at work or from your phone. And
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: we did some research. And if you're on your messages
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: in Instagram.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: There is a thing off to the right in the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: corner where you can take an Insta pic, and it
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: will instantly put it up, not on your Instagram story.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It will just go to your DMs.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: So what happens is anybody who DMs you will then
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: see it. Thank you very much, Instagram. It's okay to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: share this because, yes, this is a public service announcement. Warning,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: protect yourself.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Because you can easily hit it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: So easily. So I must have been scrolling, right, to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: read my messages.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And there's a little plus sign right here.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: That little watch out for that guy. Yep. And the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: next thing I know, I'm like getting messages responding to
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: this Insta pic.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people can like it, love it, hit the fire emoji, whatever.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was no fire emojis. It was a horrible picture.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It was like, you know, when you look down into
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: your phone, nobody like ever needs to see that ever. Right.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And I was talking about this with My friend Ann
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: on Friday, we're driving into Manhattan. I'm telling her, look out,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: this is awful. She's like, you could be in the bathroom.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we're laying in bed and looking at our messages.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Actually, that explains it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Because now I've been watching. I've been paying attention to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the Instapics. And I have seen just pictures of shoes,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: somebody clearly on the john. And I'm wondering if they
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: accidentally are doing it. They don't know they're doing it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: That's bad. But you're right. So once again, if you're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on Instagram and you go to your DMs, And you're
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: checking your messages right off to the right. There's a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: little plus sign. And you can easily, by accident, hit
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it and then post a picture. It could be no
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: matter what. It could be anything.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: It's like you don't even know. I didn't know until
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: people started responding to it. And I was like, what
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: are they responding to? Oh, that's an awful picture.
• 25:31
