Speaker 1 (00:00):
Somebody I used to know, Christine Aggy who's been gone forever.
She's back. One of six point seven Light of m
Cubby Christine producer Kristin. How does it feel?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Christine feels really good to be back. So, mister, you
guys so so much, you really so how much you
love your job. You know, you really really miss it.
You're in beautiful places in the world, and you're still like,
there's no place like home.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's so important to travel, though, is and you did it.
And so let me see off the top of my head, Vienna, Prague, Budapest,
all right, take it from there.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Beautiful monuments, Oh, just incredible. Yeah, we had this time.
We had wonderful tour guides. We've done this tour once before.
Eric and I did it on our own. But there
are so many incredible, what I feel like are important,
historically beautiful places to see that doing it on your
own is a challenge. So this time I said I
(00:53):
wanted to do over. I wanted to go back and
see the places that I felt I had missed. And
we did that and it was just incredible. I'm really
drawn to going to Hungarya, going to Hungarya, going to Hungary,
going to Austria because my dad was from Hungry, so like,
you know, my roots are are there, and then I'm
just really curious to see the lifestyle and the culture
(01:16):
and the food which is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
What do you eat?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
There was a lot of schnitzel on this trip, yeah,
because all three of those cities do schnitzel beautifully. And Gulash,
which doesn't sound like Gulash doesn't sound like it would
be good, but it's really really good. My favorite Hungarian
is Langosh, which is like a street food because it's
(01:39):
fried dough with cheese and sour cream, so how can
you go wrong stomach. It's so amazing. And chimney cake
from Hungry is really great and it's not like a
sweet cake. It's a spiral of again like dough with
like some cinnamon on it. It's very hard to do
low car when you're going through these countries.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you were walking a lot. You
guys were always hitting the pavement.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We walked and we walked and we walked.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, that's full.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
At the end of time, we climbed, you know, cathedral
three hundred and sixty four steps up Saint Stephen's reviews.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
We yeah, it looks a little chili too, was it chili? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, we had really Actually the weather changed. It had
been in the seventies before we got there. As soon
as we got there, it was like, you know, the
clouds and the and the rain, and it was it
was dropping down to like forties at nights sometimes but
fifties and sixties during the day. And then we had
enough bright spots where we got to see everything and
get great pictures.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Hey, Krista, we got gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We did.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Thank you for my chocolates. I'm going to dive into
those in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
They're filled with milange, which is the coffee that's really
popular in Vienna's.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Right, So I can actually throw this coffee. I have
my hand out, Yeah, and that could be my coffee.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Just go for that, Like if you need an emergency coffee,
just eat one of those chocolates.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Wow. Yeah, And what do you have next to you?
That beautiful what do you have? It's a rosary but
it's like all white.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's very special. It's very special. And please where's it from?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So yes, I have to look up the net. But
it's like Pennahan Abbey, which is in Hungary and it's
like it's a World Heritage UNESCO site. Pope Francis had
been there, and also Pope Paul. This second had been.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
A little bit you did.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It's just that place is incredibly beautiful and felt very
very special. And those are handmade. I think that's rose
Quartz by the Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's gorgeous. And I'm Catholic, you know,
and I and Christine knows that I'm a woman of faith,
and so is my family. So that's very very special
and thank you. I can't thank you enough for that.
It means a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was, it was our pleasure, really really and just
walking through there, I told you guys, walking through an
abby that is a thousand years old, it felt if
you've watched Game of Thrones and you ever see them,
like walking through hall aways you know that are marble
with these arches, and just it felt like that. It
felt almost fantasy like, and you know, a completely different
(04:08):
time obviously, but also that felt like a very special
place for many reasons.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And one more final thing here, because we are in
the Tri state area and Newark has been in the
news lately, you had no issues traveling in or out
of Newark.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
We were so lucky, Cubby, We were really really lucky.
You know. I kept reaching out to you, like is
everything okay? And you guys were great with me. You're like,
the weather's gonna be good when you come back, you know,
Like that's not answering my New York airport question because
when we were leaving. The day we were leaving, we
flew Austrian United and Austrian Airlines the partner right, we
(04:44):
flew to go into Vienna. One easy flight you would
think easy, was Daniella, our sitter watches Archie. She was
flying back from Florida her flight Like, as we were
waiting to leave, She's like, our flight's canceled, and then
it kept getting canceled, canceled, canceled to the point of
they drove. She and her family drove back from Florida.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow. Yeah, that's when you really give up, Like that's it,
We'll just drive back.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So that's how many flights are.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, I think more domestic flights were impacted than international flights.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But I see United kind of reassuring customers and passengers
that they're okay, that it's safe, and it does seem
like International is not the one that's affected the most.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well, welcome back, thank you for catching us up on
things a lot more. I'm sure to come and we'll
be right back with three pretty cool things on LIGHTFM.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
More music and Mark Couvey and Christine coming up one
O six point seven light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I saw this cool fact in our elevator. You know,
I do all our show prep in the elevator. Basically
it has a little TV screen in there.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Here for a while, I guess, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Did you the weather of the traffic? Fun facts? Did
you know that the uh, if the human eye was
a camera, it would have about five hundred and seventy
six megapixels. Just to put it in perspective, iPhone camera
has fifty two megapixels. Wow, so if your eyeball was
an actual camera, very busy, it'd be five hundred and
seventy six megapixels. So all right, pretty good camera, we
(06:12):
got that. Yeah, what do you have as a cool thing?
Welcome back, Christine, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, I have a neuroscience information so if you want
some help just to get yourself to focus, which I
can use right now. Neuroscientists say there is a magic tune.
It's Box gold Box Goldberg variations. Classical music in general, calming, lyric,
free melodies tend to boost concentration. But they found this
(06:40):
Bach Goldberg variation the one to go with. Can we
play it right now for my brain?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
A little bock? Yeah, problems. I don't know if we
have any in the system here, but you never know.
But to me, that would put me to sleep, that
kind of music.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But supposed to help you focus up. I guess you
can maybe multitask a little. You know how, some times,
if you have music going and you want to work
on something, you'll get your attention. Your attention is drawn
to the music. Sometimes this will allow you.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
All right, all right, Kristin, you're up with your cool thing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
We're going to do it today. In history, all right, okay,
eighteen eighty we're going back a little bit. Thomas Edison
performed the first test of his electric railway in Menlo Park,
New Jersey. What Yes, He actually played a significant role
in the early development of electric trains, including the electromagnetic
railway system and braking system.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And any Chick fil A at Menlo Park Mall and
that's when I go to the mall.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't blame them to find a quicker way.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It was them all around in eighteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'll google it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Three pretty cool things on LIGHTFM.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
More Covey and Christine and a great music variety you expect.
Next on light at them, it's Covey and Christine's Crazy
first Dates.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Melissa has a crazy first date story for us. All right,
what happened?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Okay, So what happened was my college boyfriend was out
of state and he didn't know anyone there, so the
college just placed him with a random roommate that he
didn't know, and while he was away there, he got
a new girlfriend at his school, but never told me, obviously,
and he just kept it going with both of us.
(08:17):
So when I would go visit, I would stay at
their dorm, at their apartment, and he would pretend he
was going out to go to his basketball practice, but
he was actually going out to see the other girlfriend.
And his roommate would always stay back and hang out
with me while he was gone. So we became friends.
And then eventually I found out, and obviously we broke up,
(08:43):
but I see friends with the roommate and we stayed
in touch and everything, and then one day the roommate
asked me to go out with him, and then long
story short, we got married eventually a couple of years later,
and I wound up getting married to his room mate.
And now we have a daughter, she's eighteen, and it
(09:03):
had a happy ending and talk about.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
For a reason. There you go, exactly right, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
How much how much time went by between breaking up
with the boyfriend and the roommate asking you out? Because
there's always like guide code where they don't ask.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
For oh yeah, question.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
No, they weren't even friends. Believe it or not. It
was a couple of months, but they weren't even really friends.
They were just roommate's like coming and going. So it
wasn't really like of a guy called Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You guys were very clear. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's so nice.

we know very soon.

Morning, Covey. Very happy to be here. Thank you. Today
is National Apple Pie Day, so I say let's embrace
it and celebrate what is considered America's favorite dessert that's
been around since the late thirteen hundreds. I'm in okay,
got it. Also in the news this morning, President Trump
starts his visit to the Middle East today in Saudi
Arabia and the American hostage free by Hamas, back with
(11:56):
family after nearly six hundred days in captivity. There's new
video of the mother of Israeli American Edon Alexander being
the first to hug him in an Israeli hospital. He's
twenty one years old and he is from Tenafly, New Jersey.
Goldman Sachs is lowering its odds that the US economy
will enter a recession. The bank now forecasts a thirty
(12:16):
five percent chance, down from forty five percent. The cut
comes after the US and China agreed to reduce tariffs
amidst ongoing trade negotiations. And here in New Jersey is
still no deal between the Engineers Union and New Jersey Transit,
with a strike looming for Friday. So New Jersey Transit
is canceling train and bus service to MetLife Stadium this
Thursday and Friday for Shakira concerts, just in case you
(12:39):
had plans to go. You've got to find an alternate
way to get there and.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Whenever, wherever, you gotta find a way.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, but you will do it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Your news doesn't lie.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There's so many lines I want to go for and
I'm trying to be good sports. The Mets beat the
Pirates four to three, Yankees beat the Mariners eleven to five,
and the Knicks defeated the Celtics. This is in Game four.
They lead the series three games to one. Game five
tomorrow evening in Boston, and.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're giving up, aren't you, Kristen as a Celtics fan
a little bit. Yeah, down three one and you lost
your best player.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah, he looks like he's out.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That looks painful, by the way, just the footage.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
As a Knicks fan, Look, you don't want to win
that way. You know, it's really sad what happened to him.
But if you're a player down, we'll take it whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, So these two know each other really well, so
you can joke around like that. But first impressions, First impressions,
How long does it take? Seven seconds? We meet somebody
within seven seconds, we make eleven judgments. Wow, we can
tell what we think the other person's educational level, is,
their competence, their wealth, and their politics, all by that
(13:48):
quick one glance.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, full disclosure, we were Christine doing that about producer
Kristen during her interview here were you? Oh yeah, we
were just our eyes were going up and down. We
were breaking it down.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Christine put her head in the palm of her hand.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, no, we weren't that bad. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I don't think we could. She impressed us, Yes, he
did very much.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Therefore, I mean, look where you are. You know you're here,
all right, Christine, welcome back. Good to have you back.
You brought the weather from Europe over here, cloudy cool.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Welcome Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
At them Do you annoy your friends but they you know,
they know it, but you don't know you're annoying them?
It's one of six pointy seven Light FM with Kubby
and Christine. Welcome back, Christine, producer Christen's here. So yeah,
there's a list here eleven things people do that secretly
annoy their friends. And we're all friends in this room, right.
Can I throw some of these out here?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And are they hints?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah? Well, you tell me, you know, you let me
know if I'm doing this. Maybe Christine, you're doing it.
I'll tell you, all right, Kristin, I'll tell you, okay.
Number one never knowing when to stop talking, we legit.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I don't think I have that issue here, I don't
think so.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Kind of working in radio, do we do a lot
of talking.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
We do, but we know, like when we're off the
ear and we're shooting a breeze, we know when to stop, right, okay,
all right, all right, So no issue there, pretending their
relationship with their spouse is sunshine and rainbows.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
We're pretty open here.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're pretty open.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, share everything, we share.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
All things are good. Sending too many videos.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh, I do worry that I do that to you, guys,
because I see cute things on Instagram or something and
I send them.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But you know, I sense of humor and every time
you send me when I like it. Yeah, yeah, okay,
I'm trying to find something, but so far now. Scotty Bee,
on the other hand, he sends me a way too
many videos. Our friend Scotty Bee, he like, he bards me,
oh okay, but he's not in the room mentioning their
crush all the time. Well, no issue here.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We're all, yeah, we're good.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Wow, we get along great, don't we.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Saying quote on my way while they're still in bed guilty.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Christian's guilty of that, maybe not necessarily in bed, but
I'm still home getting the kids ready. Yup, But on
my way, i'd be there in ten minutes, and then
I'm late.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Technically you're not lyes Yeah, in your mind, you're on
the way. You haven't left the house.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Right, okay?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Uh? Barring clothes and never giving it back.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No, none of us have done that.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Your a little battery charger for my trip, and it
was wonderful, and it's back with you, and it's safe
and sound.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You got back from your trip, and right when I
saw you, you gave me that battery back you borrowed,
So thank you for that. Again, we're talking about eleven
things people do that secretly annoy their friends, but they
may not be telling you. Taking too long to figure
out what to eat. I hate when I'm at a
restaurant and there's always that one person.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I feel like I'm that person too, am I the
person who goes, yeah, we need another minute? Like when
the waiter asks do you need more time? I'm the yeah,
but everyone else is ready to go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know, but you're not too bad though.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Sorry, No, it's usually just one go around.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I don't you'll prolong it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Tension.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Let's see texting, we need to talk with no context
like I've never done that. I would never do that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Never uploading the worst photos of their friends, That is an.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Awful thing to do. But we don't. We're respectful of
each other.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yet we always seek approval round here, don't we saying
I have tea and then refusing to spill it immediately.
We love our gossip around here, and we do have tea,
and it's often spilt right here in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We eat a lot of popcorn here.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So yeah, we've seen some drama and finally liking messages
or adding an emoji reaction while in a group chat.
That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I wonder why that's annoying to some people. I mean,
that's the whole kind of point of texting, too, right,
is to have a reaction.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Right. I do know, Kristin, you're not a fan of LOL.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You said, yeah, I mean I just don't use it.
It's not necessarily you know. Yeah, anyone else that uses it,
that's fine. I just don't like it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So we all get along here.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
We're okay. So we take a little long to place
in order at a restaurant, and maybe we lol too much,
but otherwise we're good.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Other than that, we're one happy family.
Somebody I used to know, Christine Aggy who's been gone forever.
She's back. One of six point seven Light of m
Cubby Christine producer Kristin. How does it feel?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Christine feels really good to be back. So, mister, you
guys so so much, you really so how much you
love your job. You know, you really really miss it.
You're in beautiful places in the world, and you're still like,
there's no place like home.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's so important to travel, though, is and you did it.
And so let me see off the top of my head, Vienna, Prague, Budapest,
all right, take it from there.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Beautiful monuments, Oh, just incredible. Yeah, we had this time.
We had wonderful tour guides. We've done this tour once before.
Eric and I did it on our own. But there
are so many incredible, what I feel like are important,
historically beautiful places to see that doing it on your
own is a challenge. So this time I said I
(00:53):
wanted to do over. I wanted to go back and
see the places that I felt I had missed. And
we did that and it was just incredible. I'm really
drawn to going to Hungarya, going to Hungarya, going to Hungary,
going to Austria because my dad was from Hungry, so like,
you know, my roots are are there, and then I'm
just really curious to see the lifestyle and the culture
(01:16):
and the food which is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
What do you eat?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
There was a lot of schnitzel on this trip, yeah,
because all three of those cities do schnitzel beautifully. And Gulash,
which doesn't sound like Gulash doesn't sound like it would
be good, but it's really really good. My favorite Hungarian
is Langosh, which is like a street food because it's
(01:39):
fried dough with cheese and sour cream, so how can
you go wrong stomach. It's so amazing. And chimney cake
from Hungry is really great and it's not like a
sweet cake. It's a spiral of again like dough with
like some cinnamon on it. It's very hard to do
low car when you're going through these countries.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you were walking a lot. You
guys were always hitting the pavement.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We walked and we walked and we walked.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, that's full.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
At the end of time, we climbed, you know, cathedral
three hundred and sixty four steps up Saint Stephen's reviews.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
We yeah, it looks a little chili too, was it chili? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, we had really Actually the weather changed. It had
been in the seventies before we got there. As soon
as we got there, it was like, you know, the
clouds and the and the rain, and it was it
was dropping down to like forties at nights sometimes but
fifties and sixties during the day. And then we had
enough bright spots where we got to see everything and
get great pictures.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Hey, Krista, we got gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We did.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Thank you for my chocolates. I'm going to dive into
those in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
They're filled with milange, which is the coffee that's really
popular in Vienna's.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Right, So I can actually throw this coffee. I have
my hand out, Yeah, and that could be my coffee.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Just go for that, Like if you need an emergency coffee,
just eat one of those chocolates.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Wow. Yeah, And what do you have next to you?
That beautiful what do you have? It's a rosary but
it's like all white.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's very special. It's very special. And please where's it from?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So yes, I have to look up the net. But
it's like Pennahan Abbey, which is in Hungary and it's
like it's a World Heritage UNESCO site. Pope Francis had
been there, and also Pope Paul. This second had been.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
A little bit you did.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It's just that place is incredibly beautiful and felt very
very special. And those are handmade. I think that's rose
Quartz by the Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's gorgeous. And I'm Catholic, you know,
and I and Christine knows that I'm a woman of faith,
and so is my family. So that's very very special
and thank you. I can't thank you enough for that.
It means a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was, it was our pleasure, really really and just
walking through there, I told you guys, walking through an
abby that is a thousand years old, it felt if
you've watched Game of Thrones and you ever see them,
like walking through hall aways you know that are marble
with these arches, and just it felt like that. It
felt almost fantasy like, and you know, a completely different
(04:08):
time obviously, but also that felt like a very special
place for many reasons.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And one more final thing here, because we are in
the Tri state area and Newark has been in the
news lately, you had no issues traveling in or out
of Newark.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
We were so lucky, Cubby, We were really really lucky.
You know. I kept reaching out to you, like is
everything okay? And you guys were great with me. You're like,
the weather's gonna be good when you come back, you know,
Like that's not answering my New York airport question because
when we were leaving. The day we were leaving, we
flew Austrian United and Austrian Airlines the partner right, we
(04:44):
flew to go into Vienna. One easy flight you would
think easy, was Daniella, our sitter watches Archie. She was
flying back from Florida her flight Like, as we were
waiting to leave, She's like, our flight's canceled, and then
it kept getting canceled, canceled, canceled to the point of
they drove. She and her family drove back from Florida.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow. Yeah, that's when you really give up, Like that's it,
We'll just drive back.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So that's how many flights are.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, I think more domestic flights were impacted than international flights.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But I see United kind of reassuring customers and passengers
that they're okay, that it's safe, and it does seem
like International is not the one that's affected the most.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well, welcome back, thank you for catching us up on
things a lot more. I'm sure to come and we'll
be right back with three pretty cool things on LIGHTFM.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
More music and Mark Couvey and Christine coming up one
O six point seven light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I saw this cool fact in our elevator. You know,
I do all our show prep in the elevator. Basically
it has a little TV screen in there.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Here for a while, I guess, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Did you the weather of the traffic? Fun facts? Did
you know that the uh, if the human eye was
a camera, it would have about five hundred and seventy
six megapixels. Just to put it in perspective, iPhone camera
has fifty two megapixels. Wow, so if your eyeball was
an actual camera, very busy, it'd be five hundred and
seventy six megapixels. So all right, pretty good camera, we
(06:12):
got that. Yeah, what do you have as a cool thing?
Welcome back, Christine, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, I have a neuroscience information so if you want
some help just to get yourself to focus, which I
can use right now. Neuroscientists say there is a magic tune.
It's Box gold Box Goldberg variations. Classical music in general, calming, lyric,
free melodies tend to boost concentration. But they found this
(06:40):
Bach Goldberg variation the one to go with. Can we
play it right now for my brain?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
A little bock? Yeah, problems. I don't know if we
have any in the system here, but you never know.
But to me, that would put me to sleep, that
kind of music.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But supposed to help you focus up. I guess you
can maybe multitask a little. You know how, some times,
if you have music going and you want to work
on something, you'll get your attention. Your attention is drawn
to the music. Sometimes this will allow you.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
All right, all right, Kristin, you're up with your cool thing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
We're going to do it today. In history, all right, okay,
eighteen eighty we're going back a little bit. Thomas Edison
performed the first test of his electric railway in Menlo Park,
New Jersey. What Yes, He actually played a significant role
in the early development of electric trains, including the electromagnetic
railway system and braking system.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And any Chick fil A at Menlo Park Mall and
that's when I go to the mall.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't blame them to find a quicker way.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It was them all around in eighteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'll google it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Three pretty cool things on LIGHTFM.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
More Covey and Christine and a great music variety you expect.
Next on light at them, it's Covey and Christine's Crazy
first Dates.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Melissa has a crazy first date story for us. All right,
what happened?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Okay, So what happened was my college boyfriend was out
of state and he didn't know anyone there, so the
college just placed him with a random roommate that he
didn't know, and while he was away there, he got
a new girlfriend at his school, but never told me, obviously,
and he just kept it going with both of us.
(08:17):
So when I would go visit, I would stay at
their dorm, at their apartment, and he would pretend he
was going out to go to his basketball practice, but
he was actually going out to see the other girlfriend.
And his roommate would always stay back and hang out
with me while he was gone. So we became friends.
And then eventually I found out, and obviously we broke up,
(08:43):
but I see friends with the roommate and we stayed
in touch and everything, and then one day the roommate
asked me to go out with him, and then long
story short, we got married eventually a couple of years later,
and I wound up getting married to his room mate.
And now we have a daughter, she's eighteen, and it
(09:03):
had a happy ending and talk about.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
For a reason. There you go, exactly right, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
How much how much time went by between breaking up
with the boyfriend and the roommate asking you out? Because
there's always like guide code where they don't ask.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
For oh yeah, question.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
No, they weren't even friends. Believe it or not. It
was a couple of months, but they weren't even really friends.
They were just roommate's like coming and going. So it
wasn't really like of a guy called Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You guys were very clear. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's so nice.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thank you Melissa for sharing your story. We enjoyed it.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Laura?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Laura, You're off to see Post Malone at Cityfield June fourth.
Enjoy the show, awcome hold on one second. I think
that question threw people for a loop. It took a
long time to get an answer because back to school
shopping is not on our mind.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right now right, but the stores will make sure that
we know very soon.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It pops up so quick it does.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I feel like when we were kids it was August,
you saw it. Now in June, you see back to
school stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, we'll see a commercial soon. I have a feeling
when you're watching TV that's usually your first sign of
it is a commercial and the.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Guys are going to freak out because they're just getting
into their vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Happy Tuesday. Covey here and she's back from vacation. Christine
with all your headlines. Good morning, Good.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Morning, Covey. Very happy to be here. Thank you. Today
is National Apple Pie Day, so I say let's embrace
it and celebrate what is considered America's favorite dessert that's
been around since the late thirteen hundreds. I'm in okay,
got it. Also in the news this morning, President Trump
starts his visit to the Middle East today in Saudi
Arabia and the American hostage free by Hamas, back with
(11:56):
family after nearly six hundred days in captivity. There's new
video of the mother of Israeli American Edon Alexander being
the first to hug him in an Israeli hospital. He's
twenty one years old and he is from Tenafly, New Jersey.
Goldman Sachs is lowering its odds that the US economy
will enter a recession. The bank now forecasts a thirty
(12:16):
five percent chance, down from forty five percent. The cut
comes after the US and China agreed to reduce tariffs
amidst ongoing trade negotiations. And here in New Jersey is
still no deal between the Engineers Union and New Jersey Transit,
with a strike looming for Friday. So New Jersey Transit
is canceling train and bus service to MetLife Stadium this
Thursday and Friday for Shakira concerts, just in case you
(12:39):
had plans to go. You've got to find an alternate
way to get there and.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Whenever, wherever, you gotta find a way.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, but you will do it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Your news doesn't lie.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There's so many lines I want to go for and
I'm trying to be good sports. The Mets beat the
Pirates four to three, Yankees beat the Mariners eleven to five,
and the Knicks defeated the Celtics. This is in Game four.
They lead the series three games to one. Game five
tomorrow evening in Boston, and.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're giving up, aren't you, Kristen as a Celtics fan
a little bit. Yeah, down three one and you lost
your best player.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah, he looks like he's out.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That looks painful, by the way, just the footage.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
As a Knicks fan, Look, you don't want to win
that way. You know, it's really sad what happened to him.
But if you're a player down, we'll take it whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, So these two know each other really well, so
you can joke around like that. But first impressions, First impressions,
How long does it take? Seven seconds? We meet somebody
within seven seconds, we make eleven judgments. Wow, we can
tell what we think the other person's educational level, is,
their competence, their wealth, and their politics, all by that
(13:48):
quick one glance.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, full disclosure, we were Christine doing that about producer
Kristen during her interview here were you? Oh yeah, we
were just our eyes were going up and down. We
were breaking it down.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Christine put her head in the palm of her hand.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, no, we weren't that bad. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I don't think we could. She impressed us, Yes, he
did very much.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Therefore, I mean, look where you are. You know you're here,
all right, Christine, welcome back. Good to have you back.
You brought the weather from Europe over here, cloudy cool.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Welcome Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
At them Do you annoy your friends but they you know,
they know it, but you don't know you're annoying them?
It's one of six pointy seven Light FM with Kubby
and Christine. Welcome back, Christine, producer Christen's here. So yeah,
there's a list here eleven things people do that secretly
annoy their friends. And we're all friends in this room, right.
Can I throw some of these out here?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And are they hints?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah? Well, you tell me, you know, you let me
know if I'm doing this. Maybe Christine, you're doing it.
I'll tell you, all right, Kristin, I'll tell you, okay.
Number one never knowing when to stop talking, we legit.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I don't think I have that issue here, I don't
think so.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Kind of working in radio, do we do a lot
of talking.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
We do, but we know, like when we're off the
ear and we're shooting a breeze, we know when to stop, right, okay,
all right, all right, So no issue there, pretending their
relationship with their spouse is sunshine and rainbows.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
We're pretty open here.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're pretty open.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, share everything, we share.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
All things are good. Sending too many videos.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh, I do worry that I do that to you, guys,
because I see cute things on Instagram or something and
I send them.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But you know, I sense of humor and every time
you send me when I like it. Yeah, yeah, okay,
I'm trying to find something, but so far now. Scotty Bee,
on the other hand, he sends me a way too
many videos. Our friend Scotty Bee, he like, he bards me,
oh okay, but he's not in the room mentioning their
crush all the time. Well, no issue here.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We're all, yeah, we're good.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Wow, we get along great, don't we.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Saying quote on my way while they're still in bed guilty.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Christian's guilty of that, maybe not necessarily in bed, but
I'm still home getting the kids ready. Yup, But on
my way, i'd be there in ten minutes, and then
I'm late.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Technically you're not lyes Yeah, in your mind, you're on
the way. You haven't left the house.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Right, okay?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Uh? Barring clothes and never giving it back.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No, none of us have done that.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Your a little battery charger for my trip, and it
was wonderful, and it's back with you, and it's safe
and sound.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You got back from your trip, and right when I
saw you, you gave me that battery back you borrowed,
So thank you for that. Again, we're talking about eleven
things people do that secretly annoy their friends, but they
may not be telling you. Taking too long to figure
out what to eat. I hate when I'm at a
restaurant and there's always that one person.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I feel like I'm that person too, am I the
person who goes, yeah, we need another minute? Like when
the waiter asks do you need more time? I'm the yeah,
but everyone else is ready to go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know, but you're not too bad though.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Sorry, No, it's usually just one go around.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I don't you'll prolong it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Tension.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Let's see texting, we need to talk with no context
like I've never done that. I would never do that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Never uploading the worst photos of their friends, That is an.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Awful thing to do. But we don't. We're respectful of
each other.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yet we always seek approval round here, don't we saying
I have tea and then refusing to spill it immediately.
We love our gossip around here, and we do have tea,
and it's often spilt right here in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We eat a lot of popcorn here.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So yeah, we've seen some drama and finally liking messages
or adding an emoji reaction while in a group chat.
That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I wonder why that's annoying to some people. I mean,
that's the whole kind of point of texting, too, right,
is to have a reaction.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Right. I do know, Kristin, you're not a fan of LOL.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You said, yeah, I mean I just don't use it.
It's not necessarily you know. Yeah, anyone else that uses it,
that's fine. I just don't like it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So we all get along here.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
We're okay. So we take a little long to place
in order at a restaurant, and maybe we lol too much,
but otherwise we're good.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Other than that, we're one happy family.
