Speaker 2 (00:11):
The year of the year we plan on coming back.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well yeah, yeah, a contract's not up yet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Today and tomorrow our final shows of the year, and
then we go on our holiday break. You just came
back from a little holiday break.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In Germany, beautiful excursion.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We were talking at the top of the show about
overpacking and I brought up who overpacks more?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You or your fiance Eric. Yeah, and you guys had
a big meeting about this, which I didn't know about.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yes, we had to sit down about this, Cubby, because
as you know, we had this beautiful trip, thank you
Luftanza was amazing and we could bring extra luggage this time.
And once I heard that, it was like, oh, you've
never had that lugg you ever had that before? A
little light bulb went off. So I brought at least
one extra suitcase with bubble wrap and tape ready to
(00:56):
go so I could bring back Like we went around
of the Christmas markets and you know, all the the
German ornaments are so beautiful, they're glass. You need to
get those back. Oh I did. And then the little
glue vine mugs are absolutely adorable. Had to get those back.
So yeah, maybe I overpacked. Maybe I did. So Eric
(01:19):
is the one kind of in charge of getting the
luggage around. I'm pushing too, don't think like that. I'm
just letting him do everything. But because we had extra
it was kind of hard on him.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, so he had the big bag and others.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And others and were you carrying? I was caring.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Handed.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, no, no, no, I pull my own weight. But
he did say yesterday because his back is hurting him.
So he said okay, and he's like, really serious, can
we please make an agreement now that we will never
overpack again? And I just kind of looked at him
guarantee yeah, And he said, you're not agreeing, and I'm like, well, yeah, no,
(01:56):
I can't can't agree to that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I mean, I don't. Don't you feel like you could
always buy it?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Like you know, yeah, you tell yourself that, you tell
like I do right before we go. I definitely and
even he said he did. We both overpacked for this trip.
I think we always overpack because you pack for all
kinds of weather, and then when you're gone the trip
it goes so fast, right, and you're having such a
good time, and you end up basically wearing the same
(02:25):
thing over and over that you're comfortable in.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You know, you brought back a lot of things you
probably hardly even wore, right, I bet you. Oh yeah,
at the bottom of the luggage. Oh I never touched that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They just took a trip across the world just because absolutely,
But now they're good to go, you know for work.
I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (02:40):

it really easy and we are like give away round

you ever think why are they called you know, something
a little bit different? Why can't it be Disneyland on
both sides or disney World on both sides? Well, someone

June and there's something I see in a store and
I really want, I'll jokingly say I got to get this,
consider it Christmas. Yeah, And we sprinkle that in throughout
the year.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's because you guys are great and mature and you
got kids. We uh no, I still want to open
presents and Eric knows that, and he's scrambling because I
don't have anything in mind this year, legit, and he
doesn't have anything in mind. And we're getting down to
the wire here, Like I'm going to Walgreens pretty soon.
(06:34):
That's that's gonna.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Be no disrespect to Walgreens.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But sometimes they do have gifts that just fit that
last minute need, like.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You kind of know that the person did that. Like
you know, if it's like deodorant and a Whipman sampler,
lottery tickets, I love them, They're great. You know, a

on this kitchen counter, and she's right, Yeah, we've kind
of outgrown it. But we're making we're making do. But
what do I want? I like gift cards. I know
people think it's impersonal, but you know what I like
to buy? Well, I actually I like to get apps
from my iPhone, but I don't buy some of the

purchases in there. Okay, And every now and then I
liked I wish I had money in my Apple account so.

particular about his sticks, and don't call him sticks by
the way. Really, I don't know. He's a drummer who
doesn't like the nickname sticks. I guess too much. I

Cubby Christine producer Christen. We're having a lighthearted discussion about
what to get your fiance and he doesn't give you
a whole bunch to go with, right, like just kind
of no leads.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Cologne, right, We've got the cologne. And thank you for
all these wonderful ideas. There's I mean listen. I'm in
agreement with a lot of this stuff. Six four six
said you can't go wrong with David Yeerman jewelry or
a watch. Agreed, but Eric tends not to wear jewelry
or a watch. I think because of the drumming.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh yeah, he'd break it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So the David Yurman for me is quite all right.
Speaker 3 (10:57):

pack a socks expensively told by all men, love and
well worth it. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Somebody text that is a good one. Yeah, somebody had
a great idea. But it's too late. Customized drumsticks, like
with his name on it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
But it's way too late for that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
With a velvet with velvet inside in the box. Oh
that is a good idea, but yes, it's too.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Late, and those would be sticks probably he would never use.
But like in a display case with the box open,
and like the red velvet, like you said, the sticks
in there with his name on it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I like that. What's a groove life belt? I hope that?
Okay to say, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You think it might be.
Speaker 2 (12:00):

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Thank you. So so it's just become official here in
New York. It's going to be Illinois Bishop Ronald Hicks
replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who is retiring at the age
of seventy five. Just learning that that's been made official.
In a primetime White House address, President Trump says his
policies are lowering costs and boosting pay for Americans. Nick

Reiner appearing in an LA court room yesterday wearing a
suicide prevention vest. His lawyer's telling reporters that the case
is complex and Reiner has a right to a vigorous defense.
He is charged with killing his parents, director Rob Reiner,
and wife Michelle. The last US pennies to be minted
are selling at auction for over sixteen million dollars. Production
(13:43):
of the one cent coin halted this year because it
costs four times more to make them than what they
were actually worth. And last week the last of the
US pennies were sold at auction and they fetched over
sixteen point seven million dollars. So if you need that
money because you want to get some pennies for yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Talk about protecting that penny. I know that's worth that much.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, don't let anything happen to it. The powerball jackpot
keeps growing, so no match in the winning six numbers
in last night's drawing. We are going up to over
one point six one point five billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's a lot of pennies.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's many, many pennies. Yes, you could be in that auction.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And we heard when we came in this morning, like
eight people got like almost all the numbers but missed one.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But that's still a good payout.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's still good payout right, Still.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
We'll take it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sports hockey Devils beat the Golden Knights to one. Thursday
Night football, the Rams play the Seahawks at eight point fifteen,
and the thermostat wars are over. According to the experts,
this is what you need to do in winter. You
set your thermostat between sixty eight and seventy degrees. That's
to combat freezing temperatures. Outside, and it's also the optimal
(14:54):
range for staying warm while maintaining reasonable levels of energy
efficiency your house.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I know you're at eighty two put in my house.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Sorry, yeah, what is your typical thermistead on in the wintertime?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Seventy one to seventy two.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh, it's not that far off, yeah, I recally seventy.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Two, are you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A few floors to cover. In the top floor, it's
it's hard to heat.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So sometimes you want to crank it up a little more, a.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Little more so that heat right and then bring it
down right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them all right?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Producer Christen just handing me a lift.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I don't know if I should do it because you
might storm off the set.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Christine. What, Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
By the way, we are one or six point seven
Light FM, New York's Christmas station, Couvey here with Christine,
Producer Christen. If you're new to our radio station, because
maybe you're checking us out for Christmas music, hey make
sure you hang around because when we flip back to
our regular format, we do play like Taylor Swift and
you two and Ed Sheeran and a lot of people
I'm about to mention right here.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So poll Star, a magazine, just released their top twenty
five list based on worldwide ticket sales from two thousand
and one through the end of this year. So these
are the most popular touring artists of the millennium. And
this is from Pollstar, so you get the whole millennium here. Yeah,
two thousand and one. This isn't like just last year.
(16:17):
We're talking about a long time here. Yes, So here
are your top ten and how many tickets were sold? Oh? Okay, okay,
Number ten Elton John Oh, yeah, thirteen point eight four
million tickets, bon Jovie number nine thirteen point nine million,
Metallica number eight fifteen point six million, Kenny Chesney at
(16:40):
number seven with eighteen point two million, Bruce Springsteen and
the Eastreet Band eighteen million, Number six, Taylor Swift Christine
eighteen point nine million tickets sold at number five, not
number one, not number two, not number three, not number four.
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Wait, she just said the errors tour like that sold
out and that was like a two year tour.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So the only thing I can think about is, I mean,
this is from one to this past year she had,
so she didn't have the head start. Maybe maybe because
obviously Elton, john Bon, Julia Metalada, Kenny Chesney, Bruce Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I mean, I'm sorry, not Taylor, but Bruce. They were
all doing their things.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
In the early two thousands, Dave Matthews band came in
number four over Taylor, over Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Ed Sheeran number three, wait, nineteen point six million, hold on?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
He would do? He opened for Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
She actually a good point.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
She helps him get going well.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He took over the number three spot and number two
U two twenty point two million. And what is the
most popular touring artist of the millennium from two thousand
and one through the end of this year?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Madonna? I don't owe who.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Not a bad guess?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Coldplay? No hold one, Coldplay. They've sold twenty four point
eight million. Tick gets cold Play.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I love them, but they break up marriages and stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
That's what they're known for. Five for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But yeah, Taylor st Taylor is just number one.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
She used to seeing her number one everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's weird, but it has to be the fact that
it was again two thousand and one, she wasn't around
ye O two three, and then maybe she was.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
When did she start making the scene with her.
Speaker 3 (18:21):

I don't know you got the knowledge.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, we're just lucky this time.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Well again both great.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Players Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
At Them one six point seven Light of m Good morning,
where Covey, Christine and producer Kristen and Kuby. I have
been raving right for how long now? I think a
couple of years years. Yes, about a place that is
right near my home, and I can't believe that it's
actually in my neighborhood. It's called Curly Kurtosh Cafe. Curly
Kurtash is a chimney cake from Hungary. It's like a
(23:28):
very specific food from Hungary. Yep, from the fatherland. My
dad was from Hungry. Yes, And right there in my
very own neighborhood is this authentic, beautiful place making the
chimney cakes that I've only ever known from Europe. And
there's a beautiful lady behind this cafe. It is her idea.
She brought it here to the US, to Nutley, New
(23:50):
Jersey specifically, and her name is Nicole. And I'm so
excited that you're in studio with us. Nicole, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It smells great out there in the hallway.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yes, always smells great. I actually can't smell it anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because your nose blind. Yes, so your Curly Cartash smells amazing. Nicole,
Before we get into your story about how you even
got started here in the US, can you just explain
what chimney cake is because I think we picture something
different from what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, So it's a very popular European street food coming
from Hungary, and it's rolled around a what I like
to say a rolling pin, and it's baked in a
rotisserie tight style oven.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Sold sorry, I'm already in, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Go ahead, And so we say it's a cross between
a hollow churro and a donut. So if you're not in,
you're in.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Now, I'm totally so good.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
We put customized toppings on it. I think what makes
it really special is just the quality of the pastry.
It's not overly sweet. We use European flour and butter,
so we keep it one hundred percent authentic. And we've
been invited to bake them for the Hungarian embassy in DC.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
So it's something you know, where do you the real
question is where do you go for desserts that are
not overly sweet, not processed? And that's kind of the
space that we really play in. So it's a great experience.
It's fun to watch and it's really fun to eat.
So in Hungary people are walking with them on the streets.
If you see them, everyone's like, where are the chimney cakes?
(25:19):
Where are the chimney cakes? They're that exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yes, and your place is beautiful and welcoming, and as
you said, it's like an experience going there because we
get to see you make it, so the kids love
to see it. You can hang out there and have
a good time.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah. I mean I started making the chimney cakes just
because I wanted them, and I lived in Hungary for
four years and when I was leaving Hungary, I realized
no one's making them. But I've come here and people
actually want to make them themselves. So we do parties
for kids where the kids can make them. We do
team building events as well, where you know, employees work
(25:55):
together on making them. We recently went to an apartment
complex and we just had the tenants coming down, all
making them on their own and it was super exciting.
So yeah, it's really exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And Nicol, I know you're also very involved in the community.
You do lots of fundraisers for the schools in Nutley
and the surrounding areas, and I think that's wonderful too.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, we donate to the Tricky Trays. I mean, one
of the reasons I was inspired to do this is
because chimney cakes literally make everyone happy, and most people
don't understand until they actually come to the shop or
experience and see the people enjoying them. And so I
realized I can't take away people's pain, but I can
give them a space where they can get away from it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well, you have a whole setup by the way outside,
I'm worried you're going to burn something because we brought
you in the studio to go on the air right now,
but you're cooking something.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Is everything okay out there? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
It's so when we say oven, I think it gets
everyone kind of concerned, like is this a KitchenAid oven?
But it's really more like a toaster oven. Oh, it's
an infrared burner. So it's not at all threatening, all.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Right, So you need to experience it. Covey producer Kristen
I think it's your first time, then this will be
your first Yes, we can't wait where people find you?
To call?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Where can people find you?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
So we're located actually off of exit one point fifty
one off the Garden State Parkway, the Montclair exit, but
we're in Nutley seventy four East Passaic Avenue. But we're
five minutes off the parkway literally like jump off ample
parking and you can jump back.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
She's right, it's easy to park, and it's a it's
a really fun place and you do great seminars. I know,
we did, like coffee tasting one morning along with the
Curly Curtage. There's just a lot of fun things happening
there along with this amazing food.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, we do. We call it the Curly Club. So
I'm always curious. So we bring in other people who
are artisans in their craft and so we team up together.
They'll spend an hour educating, sampling or teaching people how
to do things. We had a calligraphy class, a facaca class.
We had coffee and then the second hour so they're mastering,
you know, teaching people that first hour new customer, and
(28:00):
then and then the second hour they just share chimney
cakes and so they try all the different varieties, and
you know, it also lends itself to corporate events. We
work with a lot of global corporate brands because it
creates natural talk. Triggers someone's like, I'm from Hungary, Someone's
like this pastry reminds me from my grandmother's food from Columbia.
(28:22):
I saw them in Prague, and everyone just starts really
having a good time. And then you always have that
person who just stands by our station the entire time,
just eating all the chimney kicks.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, that'll be me and just a couple of minutes.
So we'll post everything online so that you can see
how the chimney cakes are being made and experience it
for yourself. I know you've got a good social media following.
Where should we find you?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yes, so you can find us on the TikTok as well,
where we really go through the story explain it, as
well as on Instagram and so curly.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
So the authentic way to say it, which is a
little bit challenging, is because the pastry itself is called
kurklas so yes, so we should we shortened the name
and call it Kurt. And so the name of the
business is called Curly Kur, but it's with a k so,
(29:15):
not what a ce so? And if in English, most
people don't know how to say it, so they just
call us kretash and I think it's less threatening. And
then some people just call us curly altogether and just
drop that last piece.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I'm gonna call you curly okay, And I have got
a special offer if we stop by today.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Yes, So if you guys stop by this weekend, so
we're gonna be open Friday, Saturdays, and Sunday this particular
week uh. And if you stop by any purchase, you'll
get a complimentary ten dollars chimney cake for free. And
then and what's nice is you get to pair it.
We pair it with Bomamn Jams or Nutella or housemaid Do.
(29:55):
And if you get one of our Curly cones, we
take the same pastry, make it in a cone, and
then we pair it with the legendary Nastos ice cream,
which is absolutely phenomenal. So you're never going to go
wrong at Curly.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It is an honor to be a member of the
Curly Club. I love the Curly Club. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Great holiday gifts too, by the way, just say thank
you so much Nicole. It's good. Good to see you
in studio. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I for you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yes,
New York's Christmas station one A six point seven FM
with Cubby and Christine in the morning, Thursday, December eighteenth,
our second to final No. Our final show is tomorrow,
so you have two more shows of.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The year of the year we plan on coming back.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well yeah, yeah, a contract's not up yet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Today and tomorrow our final shows of the year, and
then we go on our holiday break. You just came
back from a little holiday break.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In Germany, beautiful excursion.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We were talking at the top of the show about
overpacking and I brought up who overpacks more?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You or your fiance Eric. Yeah, and you guys had
a big meeting about this, which I didn't know about.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yes, we had to sit down about this, Cubby, because
as you know, we had this beautiful trip, thank you
Luftanza was amazing and we could bring extra luggage this time.
And once I heard that, it was like, oh, you've
never had that lugg you ever had that before? A
little light bulb went off. So I brought at least
one extra suitcase with bubble wrap and tape ready to
(00:56):
go so I could bring back Like we went around
of the Christmas markets and you know, all the the
German ornaments are so beautiful, they're glass. You need to
get those back. Oh I did. And then the little
glue vine mugs are absolutely adorable. Had to get those back.
So yeah, maybe I overpacked. Maybe I did. So Eric
(01:19):
is the one kind of in charge of getting the
luggage around. I'm pushing too, don't think like that. I'm
just letting him do everything. But because we had extra
it was kind of hard on him.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, so he had the big bag and others.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And others and were you carrying? I was caring.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Handed.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, no, no, no, I pull my own weight. But
he did say yesterday because his back is hurting him.
So he said okay, and he's like, really serious, can
we please make an agreement now that we will never
overpack again? And I just kind of looked at him
guarantee yeah, And he said, you're not agreeing, and I'm like, well, yeah, no,
(01:56):
I can't can't agree to that.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I mean, I don't. Don't you feel like you could
always buy it?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Like you know, yeah, you tell yourself that, you tell
like I do right before we go. I definitely and
even he said he did. We both overpacked for this trip.
I think we always overpack because you pack for all
kinds of weather, and then when you're gone the trip
it goes so fast, right, and you're having such a
good time, and you end up basically wearing the same
(02:25):
thing over and over that you're comfortable in.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You know, you brought back a lot of things you
probably hardly even wore, right, I bet you. Oh yeah,
at the bottom of the luggage. Oh I never touched that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They just took a trip across the world just because absolutely,
But now they're good to go, you know for work.
I'm ready.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, you got a plan on the vacation, yeah, I do.
You know when did we get our next time off?
Speaker 1 (02:45):

it really easy and we are like give away round

June and there's something I see in a store and
I really want, I'll jokingly say I got to get this,
consider it Christmas. Yeah, And we sprinkle that in throughout
the year.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's because you guys are great and mature and you
got kids. We uh no, I still want to open
presents and Eric knows that, and he's scrambling because I
don't have anything in mind this year, legit, and he
doesn't have anything in mind. And we're getting down to

(06:34):
That's that's gonna.

agreement with a lot of this stuff. Six four six
said you can't go wrong with David Yeerman jewelry or
a watch. Agreed, but Eric tends not to wear jewelry
or a watch. I think because of the drumming.

With a velvet with velvet inside in the box. Oh
that is a good idea, but yes, it's too.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Late, and those would be sticks probably he would never use.
But like in a display case with the box open,
and like the red velvet, like you said, the sticks
in there with his name on it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I like that. What's a groove life belt? I hope that?
Okay to say, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You think it might be.
Speaker 2 (12:00):

us to a Broadway show and make it a date date?
And yes?

suicide prevention vest. His lawyer's telling reporters that the case
is complex and Reiner has a right to a vigorous defense.
He is charged with killing his parents, director Rob Reiner,
and wife Michelle. The last US pennies to be minted
are selling at auction for over sixteen million dollars. Production
(13:43):
of the one cent coin halted this year because it
costs four times more to make them than what they
were actually worth. And last week the last of the
US pennies were sold at auction and they fetched over
sixteen point seven million dollars. So if you need that
money because you want to get some pennies for yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Talk about protecting that penny. I know that's worth that much.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, don't let anything happen to it. The powerball jackpot
keeps growing, so no match in the winning six numbers
in last night's drawing. We are going up to over
one point six one point five billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's a lot of pennies.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's many, many pennies. Yes, you could be in that auction.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And we heard when we came in this morning, like
eight people got like almost all the numbers but missed one.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But that's still a good payout.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's still good payout right, Still.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
We'll take it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Sports hockey Devils beat the Golden Knights to one. Thursday
Night football, the Rams play the Seahawks at eight point fifteen,
and the thermostat wars are over. According to the experts,
this is what you need to do in winter. You
set your thermostat between sixty eight and seventy degrees. That's
to combat freezing temperatures. Outside, and it's also the optimal
(14:54):
range for staying warm while maintaining reasonable levels of energy
efficiency your house.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I know you're at eighty two put in my house.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Two, are you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A few floors to cover. In the top floor, it's
it's hard to heat.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So sometimes you want to crank it up a little more, a.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Little more so that heat right and then bring it
down right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):

So poll Star, a magazine, just released their top twenty
five list based on worldwide ticket sales from two thousand
and one through the end of this year. So these
are the most popular touring artists of the millennium. And
this is from Pollstar, so you get the whole millennium here. Yeah,
two thousand and one. This isn't like just last year.
(16:17):

number seven with eighteen point two million, Bruce Springsteen and
the Eastreet Band eighteen million, Number six, Taylor Swift Christine
eighteen point nine million tickets sold at number five, not
number one, not number two, not number three, not number four.
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Wait, she just said the errors tour like that sold
out and that was like a two year tour.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So the only thing I can think about is, I mean,
this is from one to this past year she had,
so she didn't have the head start. Maybe maybe because
obviously Elton, john Bon, Julia Metalada, Kenny Chesney, Bruce Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I mean, I'm sorry, not Taylor, but Bruce. They were
all doing their things.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
In the early two thousands, Dave Matthews band came in
number four over Taylor, over Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Ed Sheeran number three, wait, nineteen point six million, hold on?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
He would do? He opened for Taylor.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
She actually a good point.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
She helps him get going well.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He took over the number three spot and number two
U two twenty point two million. And what is the
most popular touring artist of the millennium from two thousand
and one through the end of this year?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (17:51):

Yeah?

Coldplay? No hold one, Coldplay. They've sold twenty four point
eight million. Tick gets cold Play.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
But yeah, Taylor st Taylor is just number one.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
She used to seeing her number one everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's weird, but it has to be the fact that
it was again two thousand and one, she wasn't around
ye O two three, and then maybe she was.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
When did she start making the scene with her.
Speaker 3 (18:21):

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, we're just lucky this time.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Well again both great.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Players Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
At Them one six point seven Light of m Good morning,
where Covey, Christine and producer Kristen and Kuby. I have
been raving right for how long now? I think a
couple of years years. Yes, about a place that is
right near my home, and I can't believe that it's
actually in my neighborhood. It's called Curly Kurtosh Cafe. Curly
Kurtash is a chimney cake from Hungary. It's like a
(23:28):
very specific food from Hungary. Yep, from the fatherland. My
dad was from Hungry. Yes, And right there in my
very own neighborhood is this authentic, beautiful place making the
chimney cakes that I've only ever known from Europe. And
there's a beautiful lady behind this cafe. It is her idea.
She brought it here to the US, to Nutley, New
(23:50):
Jersey specifically, and her name is Nicole. And I'm so
excited that you're in studio with us. Nicole, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It smells great out there in the hallway.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yes, always smells great. I actually can't smell it anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because your nose blind. Yes, so your Curly Cartash smells amazing. Nicole,
Before we get into your story about how you even
got started here in the US, can you just explain
what chimney cake is because I think we picture something
different from what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, So it's a very popular European street food coming
from Hungary, and it's rolled around a what I like
to say a rolling pin, and it's baked in a
rotisserie tight style oven.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Sold sorry, I'm already in, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Go ahead, And so we say it's a cross between
a hollow churro and a donut. So if you're not in,
you're in.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Now, I'm totally so good.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
We put customized toppings on it. I think what makes
it really special is just the quality of the pastry.
It's not overly sweet. We use European flour and butter,
so we keep it one hundred percent authentic. And we've
been invited to bake them for the Hungarian embassy in DC.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
So it's something you know, where do you the real
question is where do you go for desserts that are
not overly sweet, not processed? And that's kind of the
space that we really play in. So it's a great experience.
It's fun to watch and it's really fun to eat.
So in Hungary people are walking with them on the streets.
If you see them, everyone's like, where are the chimney cakes?
(25:19):
Where are the chimney cakes? They're that exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yes, and your place is beautiful and welcoming, and as
you said, it's like an experience going there because we
get to see you make it, so the kids love
to see it. You can hang out there and have
a good time.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah. I mean I started making the chimney cakes just
because I wanted them, and I lived in Hungary for
four years and when I was leaving Hungary, I realized
no one's making them. But I've come here and people
actually want to make them themselves. So we do parties
for kids where the kids can make them. We do
team building events as well, where you know, employees work
(25:55):
together on making them. We recently went to an apartment
complex and we just had the tenants coming down, all
making them on their own and it was super exciting.
So yeah, it's really exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And Nicol, I know you're also very involved in the community.
You do lots of fundraisers for the schools in Nutley
and the surrounding areas, and I think that's wonderful too.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, we donate to the Tricky Trays. I mean, one
of the reasons I was inspired to do this is
because chimney cakes literally make everyone happy, and most people
don't understand until they actually come to the shop or
experience and see the people enjoying them. And so I
realized I can't take away people's pain, but I can
give them a space where they can get away from it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well, you have a whole setup by the way outside,
I'm worried you're going to burn something because we brought
you in the studio to go on the air right now,
but you're cooking something.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Is everything okay out there? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
It's so when we say oven, I think it gets
everyone kind of concerned, like is this a KitchenAid oven?
But it's really more like a toaster oven. Oh, it's
an infrared burner. So it's not at all threatening, all.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Right, So you need to experience it. Covey producer Kristen
I think it's your first time, then this will be
your first Yes, we can't wait where people find you?
To call?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Where can people find you?
Speaker 5 (27:07):
So we're located actually off of exit one point fifty
one off the Garden State Parkway, the Montclair exit, but
we're in Nutley seventy four East Passaic Avenue. But we're
five minutes off the parkway literally like jump off ample
parking and you can jump back.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
She's right, it's easy to park, and it's a it's
a really fun place and you do great seminars. I know,
we did, like coffee tasting one morning along with the
Curly Curtage. There's just a lot of fun things happening
there along with this amazing food.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, we do. We call it the Curly Club. So
I'm always curious. So we bring in other people who
are artisans in their craft and so we team up together.
They'll spend an hour educating, sampling or teaching people how
to do things. We had a calligraphy class, a facaca class.
We had coffee and then the second hour so they're mastering,
you know, teaching people that first hour new customer, and
(28:00):
then and then the second hour they just share chimney
cakes and so they try all the different varieties, and
you know, it also lends itself to corporate events. We
work with a lot of global corporate brands because it
creates natural talk. Triggers someone's like, I'm from Hungary, Someone's
like this pastry reminds me from my grandmother's food from Columbia.
(28:22):
I saw them in Prague, and everyone just starts really
having a good time. And then you always have that
person who just stands by our station the entire time,
just eating all the chimney kicks.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, that'll be me and just a couple of minutes.
So we'll post everything online so that you can see
how the chimney cakes are being made and experience it
for yourself. I know you've got a good social media following.
Where should we find you?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yes, so you can find us on the TikTok as well,
where we really go through the story explain it, as
well as on Instagram and so curly.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
So the authentic way to say it, which is a
little bit challenging, is because the pastry itself is called
kurklas so yes, so we should we shortened the name
and call it Kurt. And so the name of the
business is called Curly Kur, but it's with a k so,
(29:15):
not what a ce so? And if in English, most
people don't know how to say it, so they just
call us kretash and I think it's less threatening. And
then some people just call us curly altogether and just
drop that last piece.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I'm gonna call you curly okay, And I have got
a special offer if we stop by today.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Yes, So if you guys stop by this weekend, so
we're gonna be open Friday, Saturdays, and Sunday this particular
week uh. And if you stop by any purchase, you'll
get a complimentary ten dollars chimney cake for free. And
then and what's nice is you get to pair it.
We pair it with Bomamn Jams or Nutella or housemaid Do.
(29:55):
And if you get one of our Curly cones, we
take the same pastry, make it in a cone, and
then we pair it with the legendary Nastos ice cream,
which is absolutely phenomenal. So you're never going to go
wrong at Curly.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It is an honor to be a member of the
Curly Club. I love the Curly Club. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Great holiday gifts too, by the way, just say thank
you so much Nicole. It's good. Good to see you
in studio. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I for you guys.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
