Six oh eight on this Friday, June thirteenth, Cubby and
Nina del Rio and for Christine producer Kristen. We'll talk
a lot about Friday the thirteenth today. In fact, there
some special deals going on we'll get into. Oh, I
feel like Krispy Kreme is always doing something, and they
have a deal going on today. We'll tay all about
that a little bit later.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Good for them giving away more donuts. That's some good
luck right there, not bad luck, right, that's solid.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hey, how are you feeling, Nina, Because almost every night
your home and in bed by nine like we are.
But you had an event last night.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I went to my eyes are a little tired. I
went to go see the opening of I Call Me
Izzy on Broadway with Jeane Smart, which was a great show.
By the way, my eyes are a little tired. Got
home at eleven. It wasn't so bad. My friend Sarah,
Thank you Sarah, who hooked me up. We went to
the opening and then we went to the after party.
I never been to a Broadway after party. Oh, it
seemed like everybody who went to the theater, which is

(00:49):
Studio fifty four, it's huge, was at the after party.
After party was everybody. It was at a hotel on
thirty fifth Street on the rooftop rooftop bar nice and
they had catering and like pastors, they had a band
play and that was pretty good. They played some like
Doobie Brothers and stuff like that. I don't know what
they had to do with the play, but uh, it was.
It was a really nice time. Thank god for nice weather.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah you got there, didn't you get there early to
like do some red carpet watching.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, Sarah wanted to get there early to see some
famous people. We really only only saw I saw like
two or three people. I recognized a couple of people
from the cast of English. I saw if anybody watched
mad Men, I saw Brian Batt, who played sal On
mad Men. That was kind of it. But uh, yeah,
we didn't. We didn't get to do the red carpet.
We just like shuttled up to the balcony.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
It sounds to me, if you didn't have the show
today you be at the after party.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Still might have might have I can tell yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, but you got out there kind of you got
out kind of early.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I got out on time to do this show. I
came back for you. Thank everybody here.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
We love you.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
And while you were having fun, Christain and I were
we were just talking off the air. We were putting
our kids to bed. It was a very hellish night.
It was a hellish night. Yeah. Both of our kid
I mean, Miles and Naiomi, they were you know, they
were good, but they had their moments where they were
in a mood. And I was all by them myself
because Coco and my wife had a night out with
the girls. Oh, so I was watching both kids, and
it's always I'm like the substitute teacher with them. I

(02:08):
think I'm the good cop and mom's the bad cop.
I think that's why.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
You're the nice one.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, so they walk all over me. But I had
I had to yell a couple of times, which is
unlike me. Oh I try. I try to avoid yelling,
but when when I yell, you know, that comes across.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
When nice Dad's yell. Though, it's very scary, right, like, yeah,
tipped dad over.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I still don't do it very much, but that's sometimes
the only way to get their attention. Kristin, how are
you feeling, because you had a rough night too.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I did well. Friday the thirteen started early. Yeah, the
kids were just they were in a mood that maybe
it was the full moon the night before.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Here's something with that. Like your four year old was like,
you know, doude.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, you know, we're day two, this is technically day
three of summer break, and it's that it's not going well.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So four guys, I don't know if I'm gonna make
it back in school.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah. We were having dinner last night and and and
had chicken nuggets for nail me and she bit in.
I said, you gotta finish your dinner and she bit
into her nugget and just said finished like that. That
kind of stuff is going on last night. So yeah, yeah,
but we ended on a good.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Note, so you put them to bed exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
All right.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
We got three pretty cool things coming up.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Next more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on Light at Them.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
And today today, of course, being Friday the thirteenth, let's
make it less scary. Krispy Kreme is offering a Lucky
Friday promotion. You can get a dozen original glazed donuts
for thirteen cents but there is a catch, a small
catch when you purchase any other dozen at the regular price.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh okay, so two dozen.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, but that's they're donuts. That's fine, that's fine. I
love donuts that last. So pretty cool what they're doing
over there, Krispy Kreme. All right, you know, what do
you have? Is nice?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Next time you forget your sunscreen or I'm sorry, your
insect repellent when you're out, you know, and you're worried
about mosquitos, just keep move and move your arms. Mosquitoes
do not like motion. They do not like the wind
going by. So you can just wave your arms in
the air. You've already seen, right, pictures of in the South.
Sometimes you'll have like a fan in the yard. That's
what that's about, is getting rid of mosquitos. You just
make your own wind, right, and they'll be less attracted

(04:15):
to you.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
But you're gonna look kind of silly when you're on
the patiom friends, and you're gonna look stupid as hell.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Like silly when you're swatting them away.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
All right, all right, keep moving to avoid mosquitos. Yeah,
all right, what do you have, Kristen?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I have the War of the snack wraps. Okay, so
I don't know if you guys remember last week I
told you about McDonald's bringing their snack wrap back. It's
been like ten years. Well, other fast food chains they're
hopping on the bandwagon. So before McDonald's releases THEIRS July tenth,
Popeyes they already introduce THEIRS their chicken raps. Now Taco
Bell is joining in. They're releasing their own version on

(04:53):
June seventeenth, so next week, and they're gonna offer chicken strips, burritos,
and tacos. So it's a little spin on the snack wrap.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, I know this. Knack wraps are good, but
they're really hot, aren't they. Everyone's doing it.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
It's they were a big deal back in the day,
and then I think it's been like ten years, ten
or fifteen years because they're convenient.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's like you can just put it in your mit
and eat it and then you know you're mint.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
And the Light of Them Chicken Wrap comes out next
month too. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light at.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Them Friday the thirteenth. Jot Water six Boy seven, Light
at Them, Covey and Nita, and for Christine producer Kristen.
Here we are. If you're one of those people that's
scared a Friday the thirteenth, here's the good news. We're
not gonna have another one until twenty twenty five. This
is the only Friday the thirteenth of the year. I'm sorry,
twenty twenty six, there's only one Friday the thirteenth, and

(05:46):
twenty twenty five, the year we're in now, then won't
be another on until next year. Okay, I think there's
like three.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
I think there's three years, so it'd triple up. Yeah, right,
right right, February, March, and November.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And I gotta tell you, you know, I'm reading a
fact here about eight percent of the American population, which
sounds like a low number, but eight percent of the
American population actually has anxiety today, like they have a
tough time all day.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah. Well, it says millions of dollars in business are
lost because people stay home because they're afraid of doing things. Yep, huh,
I know.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Don't step on a crack, don't break your mama's back. Yeah,
don't open an umbrella inside that house. I don't know
they say that, they do say that. I think all
year long that could be a superstition.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, Friday, I've done it. I'm still here.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Funny story. I'm putting Naomi to bed last night, and
we did our two books and then we were talking
about you know today. Yeah, it was last night, and
I said, tomorrow's Friday. Oh, it's Friday the thirteenth, And
a couple of months ago she was inquiring about what
Friday the thirteenth is all about, and she heard from
school it's a scary day. So I jarred her memory
that tomorrow is actually a Friday the thirteenth. Of course,

(06:52):
I'm talking last night. Yeah, and she went, what tomorrow's
Friday the thirteenth? Do I need to stay inside all day?
What's gonna happen tomorrow? So she's like I had to
talk her down, Like I had to ramp back. I
had to roll it back.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Why did you bring that up?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I had to escalate the situation. Yeah, because her eyes
lit up. Oh no, because I was like, you know,
I was just trying to be casual. Tomorrow's Friday. Oh,
and it's Friday the thirteenth, And she just harped on it,
and I had to say, no, it's just a regular day.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
So she's five. Scary things are scary when you're five.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, maybe her phobia starts today because of me.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Also, fail right before bed.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
One of the last things I said, we finished our books,
I kissed her good night, and I said tomorrow's Friday,
and then I went the afterthought on Friday the thirteenth.
But anyway, what else do we have here that are
fun facts?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
It is called the actual name Friday the thirteenth, scientifically
is I'm going to try it. Pariskev deca tree aphobia.
Pariskevy deca tree aphobia.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's impressive. That's impressive.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's what it means, Friday the thirteenth.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
And finally, they say the superstition really gained major tre
action after the movie Friday the Thirteenth in nineteen eighty. Sure,
so that makes sense, you know, because I didn't think
much of Friday the Thirteenth in the seventies. But then again,
I was only like nine.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Your mom didn't scare you, No, no.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Maybe the movie did help.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right, well, we wish you the best of luck, everybody.
Good luck you got till midnight tonight to make it.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
So he's an actor, and he just said it. He
never really played a villain.

a comedian. Then he had his own television show, and

known for two big ones.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
Children are like cats around me. They won't leave me alone.

got to play the villain.
