Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is hump Day. No, it's not. It's Thursday. My gosh,
I went back in time for a minute. Well you
don't ever do that again. Heavy, it's not Wednesday. It's Thursday.
We made it past Wednesday, and we're all back together here,
Cubby Christine Producer Kristen Man foggy morning, A nasty day,
kind of like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It was a challenging hump day, as you mentioned, because
with all the rain in the city, and I know
congestion pricing means the city's supposed to be clear of traffic,
but it's so not really.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, did you make your appointment?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I did.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I had, you know, like a few appointments yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Here in Manhattan. Now we're in Midtown for those who
don't know, we're in midtown Manhattan. Where did you have
to go? We're at fifty fifth. Where'd you have to go?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I had to just go to like thirtieth and first, right,
So twenty blocks, twenty blocks, twenty blocks, a couple of avenues.
So I called an uber fifty dollars, oh my, fifteen
dollars for an uber yesterday morning. And then on as
I was heading back, I thought, all right, let me
try and hell, because it just I will take the train,
(01:03):
trust me, I'll get on the subway, but there's no
train that takes you right over to first stab in.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The east side. Is difficult with subway, it gets tough.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, and the weather and everything had something to do
with it. So then I tried to get I thought, okay,
i'll take a cab back. Maybe that won't be as bad.
But it was. You know, once you put the tip
in there and everything, it was close to fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So one hundred dollars grand total just to get back
and forth things around town.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And did it mainly because of the weather, you know,
I guess like everybody else, I was like, well, I
don't really want to be out here today, so.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Right, but you got things done and that's all that
I done.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But wow, it gets challenging around here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But the city's making some money off this congestion pricing,
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So were the ubers putting an extra charge because of pricing?
Like how many surcharges are there?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Like if I'm an Uber driver and somebody is like,
you're going around town all day long, are you paying
in and out? In and out every time you leave
the congestion zone or do you pay a one time
thing for the day. I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I think they pay one time.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is it a one thing? I would hope, yeah, right,
not nine dollars if you're an uber at maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Like nine for one.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think it's that price for everybody, isn't it mm
hmm okay, yeah, yeah, Uber's and taxis you know?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I thought maybe they got a because they got a break,
They got a break. But I could be wrong, as
you can tell I. I don't do it, don't.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't have to do it too often.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I want to know, Christian, what did you do yesterday?
Because you said today might be a two coffee day
for you? Yeah, meaning you're tired.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm extra tired today.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know what. Sometimes I try to get a little
bit of a nap in or even if I just
get some rest time when my daughter naps, because she's
still you know, she still has a nap in there.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
But yesterday I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It was just a lot going on, a lot of housework,
laundry to do. You know, we have an event this weekend.
We're gonna be away this weekend, so packing just lots
of running.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Around Horcon Atlantic City. Check it out, Google it. Yes,
thank you, Yes, your hubby what's it's your hose. I
was gonna say your hubbies show. But you're a part
of it too.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, he owns the business. It's his business.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I guess I work for him, which he loves
when I say that. But if it's benefits, well you know,
oh yeah from here.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
On Friday night. Not health benefits, but other benefits.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, two kids, No, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We're coming right back. Three pretty cool things on the
way here at light FM and all the variety you
know and love.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Cobby and Christine in the morning. More coming up one
O six point seven light FM R pretty cool. It's
three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Right here on light FM with three pretty cool people Cobby,
Christine and producer Kristin. And I'm doing this story really
for Kristin, okay, because she hates ketchup. We know this
by now. If you don't know, it's just something about
ketchup that bothers you. Yes, all right, but did you
know if you were living in the eighteen thirties you
needed a prescription to get ketchup?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was used as medicine and doctors. Back in the
eighteen thirties, ketchup was promoted as a cure for various ailments,
including diarrhea and indigestion.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, I'll be in the bathroom for a very long time, because.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Are you happy it's not eighteen thirty anymore? Sam ketchup
was like a medicine.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I don't want them to give you that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What's your cool thing, Christine?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, I guess if you can get down into the dirt,
you can live longer. So it's explosion to bacteria in
soil increases the good bacteria in your gut, which improves longevity.
Which is why spending time in your garden or hugging
a tree and getting down on the ground playing with
your pets, whatever it is, is going to reduce the
(04:39):
risk of premature death by up to thirty percent. That
dirt and soil is good for us.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So to avoid being six feet under in that dirt,
get in the garden, digging the dirt on top. Yes,
stay good, all right, Kristin what's up?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There is a new kind of pet that has become
more popular over the years. Outside of you know, having
a dog or having a cat. A new study finds
that about four million US households own reptiles as pets,
and between food and supplies, the cost to owners is
eight hundred million dollars a year. So the most popular reptiles,
(05:14):
that's pets.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Can you take a guess that?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
What do you think? You're a dragon? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I used to have one of those when I was
a kid. I did have a beard and dragon. No,
a python, A python, A get go and turtles.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I like turtles. Wow, okay, so a python though, I
couldn't do that. I know. Some people just handle snakes
very well and they're cool with it. Man, that would
scare me to have a python in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You show affection?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Do they show affection? Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They just eat mice once a week and like hug
things and squeeze them to down. Yes, they do all right,
But it's a popular pet. We're coming right back with
more popular music.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Here, light more Covey and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So, my lovely wife Coco one time got very unhappy
with me when I had the car dealership change the
wind chow wipers of our car and it costs seventy bucks.
And she heard how much. It was like a routine
maintenance thing. Yeah, they did the tires and the oil
and all that, and they said, oh, by the way,
you need new Winch wipers. I just said yes to it. Yeah,
(06:17):
And then we got the receipt back and we saw
it was seventy dollars. She said, you could have done
it yourself, And she's probably right technically, yes, but I
don't do it because I don't trust myself. And what
happened to Producer Kristen and your hubby last night is
proof why I will never change Winchi wipers because this
may happen if I do it. What happened last night.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yes, well, I needed new wipers.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
It was time and I had some time on the
way home yesterday from work, so I said, I'm going
to stop at the store. So I texted Ryan, I
texted my husband. I said, I need help because I
don't know the first thing about changing wipers what to buy.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I have no idea, and.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You would think it'd be relatively simple, but it's not.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You would think that, Yes, he goes go to the store.
There's a book. I said, what do you mean there's
a book. He goes, there's a book. Look for the book.
Look for your make your model the year. It'll tell
you what wipers to buy. He's yes, he is, he
is right, So I go I get it. I'm still
in the store for about a half hour because I'm
still very confused, but I finally pick out the wipers
I need. I take him home. He goes, don't worry
about it, I got it. I'll change your wipers for you. Well,
(07:15):
he doesn't do it until nine thirty last night in
the rain. I could see him with his flashlight really
at my car outside. He changes the wipers. It took
him a little longer than it needed to. He comes
back in. He goes, you're all set. I had a
little problem with one of them, but you're all set. Well,
I'm driving here this morning and it's a little misty out,
so I put my new wipers on. I'm like, wow,
(07:36):
I could see better. This is great.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All of a sudden, I hear flop.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
One of the wipers completely just flies off and is
in the middle of the turnpike right now.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's why I will always pay this seventy dollars to
have the professionals do it. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, just say I changed my windshield wipers whoa one time,
all by myself.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And they didn't go voom, they didn't go voom.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
After I was so proud because I went to the
zone AutoZone and I got the book, I like figured
the whole thing out and I changed them in the
parking lot like guys do. And I was like, yeah,
I did that. It's just so you.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, And Eric did it yesterday. To look at this,
he had to change the wipers. If this has happened
to you and me recently, if your windshield wipe, your
windshield gets cracked and they have to replace it, you know,
here we go again with the company safely repair, safely replace.
But I'm seriously, but Kristen, I just had this happen
(08:38):
and they say, do you want us to change the wipers?
Let them do it. I know you think like, oh,
is that are they just trying to make them? But
they're not. There is something to it because they're worn
for the old windshields. So when you get the new windshield,
get the new wipers with it. That was the mistake
Eric made because his windshield got hit by a rock too,
just like all of us, and he has to have
(08:59):
it replaced. And he didn't replace the wipers, and he
was like, oh I needed to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, well I wish I knew that three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, give us a text right now, let's take an
impromptu survey. Can you change your own wiper blades? You
can give us a text at four four, three, six three.
We know Christine in the room again, Kristin and Kubby
not so much. A lot of people texting about changing
a wiper blade. Yes, we know you can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Christine, I know is bragging a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's okay because I can't. And Kristin's husband attempted to
last night. You thought things were fine until you were
driving this morning, right.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And one flew off off?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, so Feil and my wife gave me a hard time,
which I understand. You know, she couldn't believe that I
paid seventy bucks for the car dealership to change wiper
blades for me, and it really shouldn't be that expensive.
But I did it, and I've learned I should try
to do it myself. But people are chiming in. I
tell you, some people are on my side. Some people
have been doing what you've been doing, Christine.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yes, we have a lady nine one seven I'm female fifties,
changed them mysel else since I was sixteen years old.
That But we have a five to one six who
says the rear wiper is a huge pain in.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The Why is that? I wonder why is the rear wiper?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hard?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Tried that one, so I don't know why that one's more.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Byron texted in I always change my own windshield wipers.
There you go, thanks by rub it in Man.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Six four six says I'll pay the extra money.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That's see. Who is it? Okay? Yeah, six four six
you're my new friend. I like you so much because
I don't mind paying the sixty seventy bucks, so I
know it's secure. It's not gonna fly off like Kristen's
wiper blades.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But they're also saying I will hide that from my
husband because like Cubby's wife might get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, so like hide the receipt after though.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah, more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Good morning Christine, and.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Good morning Cubby. And of course we're watching what's happening
with New Jersey Transit because engineers will go on strike
at midnight if they do not reach a deal between
the agency and engineers union. And so far from what
we're hearing, they're talking every day, but we just we
don't know the inside track. To keep in mind, there
is no New Jersey Transit train service tonight or tomorrow
(11:15):
night for Shakira's concerts at MetLife Stadium, if you are
planning on that. And the FAA and airlines operating out
of Newark Airport have been meeting. They're discussing how to
alleviate the ongoing disruptions that's stemming from aging technology and
air traffic controller shortage. They have quite a few things
to tackle, but they said they're trying to get through
that as quickly and safely as possible. Sean Diddycombe's ex
(11:38):
girlfriend KC. Ventura faces cross examination today in the sex
trafficking trial. President Trump continues his trip in the Middle East.
Pope Leo has how do you say it now? Because

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I still sweet because every his fer.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He's posted his first message on X from the official
papal account. In his first message, Pope Leo gave a
greeting a piece to all people wherever they may be,
in every nation and throughout the world. And HBO had
changed HBO Max to just Max a couple of years ago,
and they were like, not working, Let's go back to
HBO Max.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh so that's good.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Call it that again.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I never got used to the whole just Max.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Neither did I just like I can't get used to X.
And yeah. In sports, the Yankees beat the Mariners three two,
Mets lost to the Pirates for nothing. Next lost Game
five to the Celtics one twenty seven, one oh two.
They are leading the series three games to two, and
we have Game six tomorrow night right here at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I just have to chime in real quick. Tomorrow night
is a big sports night. You have Game six. You
got the Knicks and the Celtics, like you said. And
then Juan Soto, who's now in New York, met former
Yankee coming to the Bronx, and the Subway Series is
kicking off. And that I mean, I don't know what
to watch. Oh wow, multiple TVs will be on to
my that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Fun. Yeah, good, and we talk a lot about heartache,
you know, when you break up with someone and how
long it takes to heal from that. That's a romantic relationship,
but how about breaking up with a friend. It hurts
right just as bad. Pretty much. We're used to hearing
about the broken heart, but many people don't realize that
if they break up with a friend, you kind of
(13:22):
go through the same process. After a friendship breakup. It's
common to feel anger, sadness, loneliness, anxiety about not seeing
that person. All right, it's just another loss.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We've been through that. We've all been through that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Christ Yeah, stinks more Covey and Christine and a great
music variety you expect next on light at them all right.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
If somebody ever insults you, here's what you say back.
It's one of six point seven nine off them Cubby
Christine producer Kristin. This is good to know because how
many times have you know, maybe somebody said something rude
to you or kind of insulted you, and you walk
away and you're like, man, I should have said that, Yes, exactly,
think about it too late.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, we have some prepackaged comebacks for you.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Try to remember these.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Try to remember what a strange thing to say out loud.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Say that to somebody, Yeah, if they say something.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Kind of insulting, inappropriate, or something you find insulting, Yeah,
something like I can explain it to you, but I
can't understand it for you.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh, that to me is just firing back in a
bad way, keeping the fight going.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I think that's a back and forth. Absolutely, let's normalize
keeping some things to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
All right. You guys have said that to me.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We do a little friend of the that's your out
loud voice. We've said that to people, but more of.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
A kids inside voice. Guys inside voice.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'd love to agree with you, but then we'd both
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean it's
not the answer.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
All right. Can you imagine saying these in a Microsoft
Teams meeting, No, all of these just saying next meeting,
we do.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And yeah, let's be careful who we say this to exactly.
You're doing your best, and that's just embarrassing. Oh, you're
insulting these people pretty good. When someone interrupts me, I
like to say your turn. Oh that's a good one, yeah,
(15:25):
because that definitely.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You have to say it quick, like you know, if
they cut you off like really quick. Okay your turn?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're upset. Let's see. That
makes sense when you don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
See these I mean, these are great comebacks. But to me,
it just keeps the fire burning.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think, yeah, it's another insult.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It is actually another insult. Because here I'll leave you
with this one. After somebody insults you, you brighten every
room you walk out of.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh that's so mean.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I know a lot of crazy first dates have ended
like this.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
It's Kebby and Christine's crazy first dates.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Hey, Jackie, it's Kebby, Christine and producer Kristin. How are you?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We're good. We want to hear about your crazy first date.
When did it happen? How did you guys meet?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Well, it was on a date in site. I mean,
this has to be over maybe three years ago. This
was at Thatcher's and I knew he liked close and
when I met him, like by the front door, he
was like sweating and he had on a very sixth sweater. Meanwhile,
I was in like a sun dress and when we
(16:40):
got to the table, he had fake flowers for me.
I mean, it was the thought that counts, but it
was the first time I ever got fake flowers right.
And then he asked the waitress for napkins and drinks
of water. And he sucked down a glass of water,
padded all his wet off, ask for another glass of water.
(17:03):
Then he started making like throat noises.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Like constantly cool. He was cracking his neck back and forth,
like multiple times. It's not like you do it once,
but he was doing it like really really fast, in
between the throat noises, in between sucking the drink down,
in between.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Sweating wiping his sweat.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Off, and then he's like, I need to go to
the bathroom. And then he was gone for like twenty
minutes and I'm sitting there like what should I do.
Then all of a sudden he comes back. I'm like,
is everything okay? He's like, I fell and I couldn't
get up. I was screaming help, help, and I couldn't
get up. No one came to my rescue, and we
(17:46):
didn't order anything yet, and I was just like, you
know what, I appreciate this, but I'm gonna go right.
And I decided that was the first time I ever
left on a date before he even ate anything?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Because is he still on the floor right now? Probably
nobody picked me up?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Can I just ask? Was it like summertime and he's
wearing this heavy sweater?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yes, that's what it was. So weird.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I had on a sun dress with biplops and I
had like a little sweater and he walked like it
was like a couple of blocks away. But I'm like,
why would he even wear his sweater?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Who are you gonna take with you on Sunday night?
We want to hook you up with tickets for John
Oliver and Seth Myers at the Beacon Theater.

You're right on par with this question, yes, yes, right,
how about copy? No, I went to one of your
birthday parties.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, like I never threw. I stopped throwing birthday parties
like when I was a teenager. But I've been fortunate
enough to have a surprise thirtieth fortieth and then Coco
surprised me for my fiftieth. Yeah that was and that
was during the pandemic. That was the first time we
saw each other. I think.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So nice to see everyone, yes, yes, so.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Wow, all right, So yeah, birthdays are kind of like
a after thirty one. A lot of people just say yeh,
it's okay, Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, more Cubby and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Are we happy with our first names? Most people are?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Right, christ we dive into this, Yes, most people are.
According to the survey, eighty seven percent of adult people
say that they like their names. A third say they
love it. There's a small minority of about thirteen percent
who say they don't like their name, and three percent
say they hate it, which it had me thinking, Kubby,
your name is actually Paul. Now do you? I know
(21:32):
you got the nickname Kubby, but does that mean you
don't like being called Paul?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I was fine with Paul, but just over the years,
because of my radio name, everyone just calls me Kubby
and I'm just used to it. Only three people, maybe
four people call me Paul, my sister, my dad, my
brother in law, and my niece and nephew. So like
five people that's it call me Paul.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And if you're you're out, you're at a store and
somebody goes, hey, Paul, do you even turn around?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It depends. I probably would if it was like that,
But you're more likely to have me turn around when
I hear cubby because you do not have many of that,
not any of those What about you, like Christine? They
did that's a great name. But you're happy with it,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, I'm happy with it now. I think when I
was younger, I probably wasn't. It's kind of like a
little sophisticated for when I was a little girl, do
you know what I mean? Like, but now I'm happy
with it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It did like it didn't fit you. You feel you
felt like I.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It seemed like everyone else was like Kristin or Christina
and mine felt serious Christine Christine. But now I'm like, okay,
it works.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
How about you, Kristine.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I am totally happy with my name, but I wasn't.
When I was a kid, I wanted to change my
name to Kimberly. Why because Kimberly was the Pink Power
Ranger and I wanted to be the Pink Power Ranger.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Well that scene, now that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
But you already had a K.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I already had a K. I'm glad that I did
not change it when I was eight years old.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Did you ever ask your parents why they like you
spell it with an E and right? Yes? Like why not?
I am like, is there a reason for that?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's a good question.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I'd never asked my parents that because I'm actually I'm well,
the story as told is that I'm named after, well
not after, but based on a Christian Slater because my
mom was a big Christian Slater fan in the late eighties.
Oh so, but why the spelling. I don't know, that's
that's a good question. And I grew up with a
bunch of other Christians and they were always all spelled differently.
(23:28):
It was a popular name when I was born.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I guess, right, and Christian Slaters with a ch, right,
and you're like.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
My daughter Naomi often says to me, do you know, daddy,
you have four names, Paul, Cobby, Bryant, daddy. Oh so,
any one of those four will work for me, right, exactly,
It is hump Day. No, it's not. It's Thursday. My gosh,
I went back in time for a minute. Well you
don't ever do that again. Heavy, it's not Wednesday. It's Thursday.
We made it past Wednesday, and we're all back together here,
Cubby Christine Producer Kristen Man foggy morning, A nasty day,
kind of like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It was a challenging hump day, as you mentioned, because
with all the rain in the city, and I know
congestion pricing means the city's supposed to be clear of traffic,
but it's so not really.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, did you make your appointment?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I did.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I had, you know, like a few appointments yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Here in Manhattan. Now we're in Midtown for those who
don't know, we're in midtown Manhattan. Where did you have
to go? We're at fifty fifth. Where'd you have to go?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I had to just go to like thirtieth and first, right,
So twenty blocks, twenty blocks, twenty blocks, a couple of avenues.
So I called an uber fifty dollars, oh my, fifteen
dollars for an uber yesterday morning. And then on as
I was heading back, I thought, all right, let me
try and hell, because it just I will take the train,
(01:03):
trust me, I'll get on the subway, but there's no
train that takes you right over to first stab in.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The east side. Is difficult with subway, it gets tough.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, and the weather and everything had something to do
with it. So then I tried to get I thought, okay,
i'll take a cab back. Maybe that won't be as bad.
But it was. You know, once you put the tip
in there and everything, it was close to fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So one hundred dollars grand total just to get back
and forth things around town.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And did it mainly because of the weather, you know,
I guess like everybody else, I was like, well, I
don't really want to be out here today, so.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Right, but you got things done and that's all that
I done.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But wow, it gets challenging around here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But the city's making some money off this congestion pricing,
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So were the ubers putting an extra charge because of pricing?
Like how many surcharges are there?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Like if I'm an Uber driver and somebody is like,
you're going around town all day long, are you paying
in and out? In and out every time you leave
the congestion zone or do you pay a one time
thing for the day. I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I think they pay one time.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is it a one thing? I would hope, yeah, right,
not nine dollars if you're an uber at maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Like nine for one.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think it's that price for everybody, isn't it mm
hmm okay, yeah, yeah, Uber's and taxis you know?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I thought maybe they got a because they got a break,
They got a break. But I could be wrong, as
you can tell I. I don't do it, don't.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't have to do it too often.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I want to know, Christian, what did you do yesterday?
Because you said today might be a two coffee day
for you? Yeah, meaning you're tired.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm extra tired today.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know what. Sometimes I try to get a little
bit of a nap in or even if I just
get some rest time when my daughter naps, because she's
still you know, she still has a nap in there.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
But yesterday I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It was just a lot going on, a lot of housework,
laundry to do. You know, we have an event this weekend.
We're gonna be away this weekend, so packing just lots
of running.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Around Horcon Atlantic City. Check it out, Google it. Yes,
thank you, Yes, your hubby what's it's your hose. I
was gonna say your hubbies show. But you're a part
of it too.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, he owns the business. It's his business.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I guess I work for him, which he loves
when I say that. But if it's benefits, well you know,
oh yeah from here.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
On Friday night. Not health benefits, but other benefits.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, two kids, No, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We're coming right back. Three pretty cool things on the
way here at light FM and all the variety you
know and love.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Cobby and Christine in the morning. More coming up one
O six point seven light FM R pretty cool. It's
three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Right here on light FM with three pretty cool people Cobby,
Christine and producer Kristin. And I'm doing this story really
for Kristin, okay, because she hates ketchup. We know this
by now. If you don't know, it's just something about
ketchup that bothers you. Yes, all right, but did you
know if you were living in the eighteen thirties you
needed a prescription to get ketchup?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was used as medicine and doctors. Back in the
eighteen thirties, ketchup was promoted as a cure for various ailments,
including diarrhea and indigestion.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, I'll be in the bathroom for a very long time, because.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Are you happy it's not eighteen thirty anymore? Sam ketchup
was like a medicine.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I don't want them to give you that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What's your cool thing, Christine?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, I guess if you can get down into the dirt,
you can live longer. So it's explosion to bacteria in
soil increases the good bacteria in your gut, which improves longevity.
Which is why spending time in your garden or hugging
a tree and getting down on the ground playing with
your pets, whatever it is, is going to reduce the
(04:39):
risk of premature death by up to thirty percent. That
dirt and soil is good for us.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So to avoid being six feet under in that dirt,
get in the garden, digging the dirt on top. Yes,
stay good, all right, Kristin what's up?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There is a new kind of pet that has become
more popular over the years. Outside of you know, having
a dog or having a cat. A new study finds
that about four million US households own reptiles as pets,
and between food and supplies, the cost to owners is
eight hundred million dollars a year. So the most popular reptiles,
(05:14):
that's pets.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Can you take a guess that?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
What do you think? You're a dragon? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I used to have one of those when I was
a kid. I did have a beard and dragon. No,
a python, A python, A get go and turtles.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I like turtles. Wow, okay, so a python though, I
couldn't do that. I know. Some people just handle snakes
very well and they're cool with it. Man, that would
scare me to have a python in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You show affection?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Do they show affection? Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They just eat mice once a week and like hug
things and squeeze them to down. Yes, they do all right,
But it's a popular pet. We're coming right back with
more popular music.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Here, light more Covey and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So, my lovely wife Coco one time got very unhappy
with me when I had the car dealership change the
wind chow wipers of our car and it costs seventy bucks.
And she heard how much. It was like a routine
maintenance thing. Yeah, they did the tires and the oil
and all that, and they said, oh, by the way,
you need new Winch wipers. I just said yes to it. Yeah,
(06:17):
And then we got the receipt back and we saw
it was seventy dollars. She said, you could have done
it yourself, And she's probably right technically, yes, but I
don't do it because I don't trust myself. And what
happened to Producer Kristen and your hubby last night is
proof why I will never change Winchi wipers because this
may happen if I do it. What happened last night.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yes, well, I needed new wipers.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
It was time and I had some time on the
way home yesterday from work, so I said, I'm going
to stop at the store. So I texted Ryan, I
texted my husband. I said, I need help because I
don't know the first thing about changing wipers what to buy.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I have no idea, and.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You would think it'd be relatively simple, but it's not.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You would think that, Yes, he goes go to the store.
There's a book. I said, what do you mean there's
a book. He goes, there's a book. Look for the book.
Look for your make your model the year. It'll tell
you what wipers to buy. He's yes, he is, he
is right, So I go I get it. I'm still
in the store for about a half hour because I'm
still very confused, but I finally pick out the wipers
I need. I take him home. He goes, don't worry
about it, I got it. I'll change your wipers for you. Well,
(07:15):
he doesn't do it until nine thirty last night in
the rain. I could see him with his flashlight really
at my car outside. He changes the wipers. It took
him a little longer than it needed to. He comes
back in. He goes, you're all set. I had a
little problem with one of them, but you're all set. Well,
I'm driving here this morning and it's a little misty out,
so I put my new wipers on. I'm like, wow,
(07:36):
I could see better. This is great.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All of a sudden, I hear flop.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
One of the wipers completely just flies off and is
in the middle of the turnpike right now.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's why I will always pay this seventy dollars to
have the professionals do it. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, just say I changed my windshield wipers whoa one time,
all by myself.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And they didn't go voom, they didn't go voom.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
After I was so proud because I went to the
zone AutoZone and I got the book, I like figured
the whole thing out and I changed them in the
parking lot like guys do. And I was like, yeah,
I did that. It's just so you.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, And Eric did it yesterday. To look at this,
he had to change the wipers. If this has happened
to you and me recently, if your windshield wipe, your
windshield gets cracked and they have to replace it, you know,
here we go again with the company safely repair, safely replace.
But I'm seriously, but Kristen, I just had this happen
(08:38):
and they say, do you want us to change the wipers?
Let them do it. I know you think like, oh,
is that are they just trying to make them? But
they're not. There is something to it because they're worn
for the old windshields. So when you get the new windshield,
get the new wipers with it. That was the mistake
Eric made because his windshield got hit by a rock too,
just like all of us, and he has to have
(08:59):
it replaced. And he didn't replace the wipers, and he
was like, oh I needed to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, well I wish I knew that three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, give us a text right now, let's take an
impromptu survey. Can you change your own wiper blades? You
can give us a text at four four, three, six three.
We know Christine in the room again, Kristin and Kubby
not so much. A lot of people texting about changing
a wiper blade. Yes, we know you can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Christine, I know is bragging a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's okay because I can't. And Kristin's husband attempted to
last night. You thought things were fine until you were
driving this morning, right.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And one flew off off?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, so Feil and my wife gave me a hard time,
which I understand. You know, she couldn't believe that I
paid seventy bucks for the car dealership to change wiper
blades for me, and it really shouldn't be that expensive.
But I did it, and I've learned I should try
to do it myself. But people are chiming in. I
tell you, some people are on my side. Some people
have been doing what you've been doing, Christine.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yes, we have a lady nine one seven I'm female fifties,
changed them mysel else since I was sixteen years old.
That But we have a five to one six who
says the rear wiper is a huge pain in.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The Why is that? I wonder why is the rear wiper?
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hard?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Tried that one, so I don't know why that one's more.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Byron texted in I always change my own windshield wipers.
There you go, thanks by rub it in Man.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Six four six says I'll pay the extra money.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That's see. Who is it? Okay? Yeah, six four six
you're my new friend. I like you so much because
I don't mind paying the sixty seventy bucks, so I
know it's secure. It's not gonna fly off like Kristen's
wiper blades.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But they're also saying I will hide that from my
husband because like Cubby's wife might get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, so like hide the receipt after though.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah, more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Good morning Christine, and.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Good morning Cubby. And of course we're watching what's happening
with New Jersey Transit because engineers will go on strike
at midnight if they do not reach a deal between
the agency and engineers union. And so far from what
we're hearing, they're talking every day, but we just we
don't know the inside track. To keep in mind, there
is no New Jersey Transit train service tonight or tomorrow
(11:15):
night for Shakira's concerts at MetLife Stadium, if you are
planning on that. And the FAA and airlines operating out
of Newark Airport have been meeting. They're discussing how to
alleviate the ongoing disruptions that's stemming from aging technology and
air traffic controller shortage. They have quite a few things
to tackle, but they said they're trying to get through
that as quickly and safely as possible. Sean Diddycombe's ex
(11:38):
girlfriend KC. Ventura faces cross examination today in the sex
trafficking trial. President Trump continues his trip in the Middle East.
Pope Leo has how do you say it now? Because
you don't tweet anymore U X He has exited first.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I still sweet because every his fer.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He's posted his first message on X from the official
papal account. In his first message, Pope Leo gave a
greeting a piece to all people wherever they may be,
in every nation and throughout the world. And HBO had
changed HBO Max to just Max a couple of years ago,
and they were like, not working, Let's go back to
HBO Max.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh so that's good.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Call it that again.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I never got used to the whole just Max.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Neither did I just like I can't get used to X.
And yeah. In sports, the Yankees beat the Mariners three two,
Mets lost to the Pirates for nothing. Next lost Game
five to the Celtics one twenty seven, one oh two.
They are leading the series three games to two, and
we have Game six tomorrow night right here at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I just have to chime in real quick. Tomorrow night
is a big sports night. You have Game six. You
got the Knicks and the Celtics, like you said. And
then Juan Soto, who's now in New York, met former
Yankee coming to the Bronx, and the Subway Series is
kicking off. And that I mean, I don't know what
to watch. Oh wow, multiple TVs will be on to
my that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Fun. Yeah, good, and we talk a lot about heartache,
you know, when you break up with someone and how
long it takes to heal from that. That's a romantic relationship,
but how about breaking up with a friend. It hurts
right just as bad. Pretty much. We're used to hearing
about the broken heart, but many people don't realize that
if they break up with a friend, you kind of
(13:22):
go through the same process. After a friendship breakup. It's
common to feel anger, sadness, loneliness, anxiety about not seeing
that person. All right, it's just another loss.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We've been through that. We've all been through that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Christ Yeah, stinks more Covey and Christine and a great
music variety you expect next on light at them all right.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
If somebody ever insults you, here's what you say back.
It's one of six point seven nine off them Cubby
Christine producer Kristin. This is good to know because how
many times have you know, maybe somebody said something rude
to you or kind of insulted you, and you walk
away and you're like, man, I should have said that, Yes, exactly,
think about it too late.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, we have some prepackaged comebacks for you.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Try to remember these.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Try to remember what a strange thing to say out loud.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Say that to somebody, Yeah, if they say something.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Kind of insulting, inappropriate, or something you find insulting, Yeah,
something like I can explain it to you, but I
can't understand it for you.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh, that to me is just firing back in a
bad way, keeping the fight going.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I think that's a back and forth. Absolutely, let's normalize
keeping some things to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
All right. You guys have said that to me.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We do a little friend of the that's your out
loud voice. We've said that to people, but more of.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
A kids inside voice. Guys inside voice.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'd love to agree with you, but then we'd both
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean it's
not the answer.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
All right. Can you imagine saying these in a Microsoft
Teams meeting, No, all of these just saying next meeting,
we do.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And yeah, let's be careful who we say this to exactly.
You're doing your best, and that's just embarrassing. Oh, you're
insulting these people pretty good. When someone interrupts me, I
like to say your turn. Oh that's a good one, yeah,
(15:25):
because that definitely.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You have to say it quick, like you know, if
they cut you off like really quick. Okay your turn?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're upset. Let's see. That
makes sense when you don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
See these I mean, these are great comebacks. But to me,
it just keeps the fire burning.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think, yeah, it's another insult.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It is actually another insult. Because here I'll leave you
with this one. After somebody insults you, you brighten every
room you walk out of.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh that's so mean.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I know a lot of crazy first dates have ended
like this.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
It's Kebby and Christine's crazy first dates.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Hey, Jackie, it's Kebby, Christine and producer Kristin. How are you?
Speaker 8 (16:11):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We're good. We want to hear about your crazy first date.
When did it happen? How did you guys meet?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Well, it was on a date in site. I mean,
this has to be over maybe three years ago. This
was at Thatcher's and I knew he liked close and
when I met him, like by the front door, he
was like sweating and he had on a very sixth sweater. Meanwhile,
I was in like a sun dress and when we
(16:40):
got to the table, he had fake flowers for me.
I mean, it was the thought that counts, but it
was the first time I ever got fake flowers right.
And then he asked the waitress for napkins and drinks
of water. And he sucked down a glass of water,
padded all his wet off, ask for another glass of water.
(17:03):
Then he started making like throat noises.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Like constantly cool. He was cracking his neck back and forth,
like multiple times. It's not like you do it once,
but he was doing it like really really fast, in
between the throat noises, in between sucking the drink down,
in between.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Sweating wiping his sweat.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Off, and then he's like, I need to go to
the bathroom. And then he was gone for like twenty
minutes and I'm sitting there like what should I do.
Then all of a sudden he comes back. I'm like,
is everything okay? He's like, I fell and I couldn't
get up. I was screaming help, help, and I couldn't
get up. No one came to my rescue, and we
(17:46):
didn't order anything yet, and I was just like, you
know what, I appreciate this, but I'm gonna go right.
And I decided that was the first time I ever
left on a date before he even ate anything?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Because is he still on the floor right now? Probably
nobody picked me up?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Can I just ask? Was it like summertime and he's
wearing this heavy sweater?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yes, that's what it was. So weird.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I had on a sun dress with biplops and I
had like a little sweater and he walked like it
was like a couple of blocks away. But I'm like,
why would he even wear his sweater?
Speaker 1 (18:22):

Oliver and Seth Myers at the Beacon Theater.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, thank you for listening and congratulations.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Yep, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Hold on one second, Christine, when was your last birthday party?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I'm sorry? When was my first birthday party.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Man, that's right. December twenty sixth is your birthday, so
you're often snubbed. Christmas always shadows you out. Yeah yeah,
poor thing. Well, Kristin, you're the twenty ninth of December. Yes,
So did you have parties a lot as a kid?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I did? Okay, yeah, s yeah, my parents did throw
me birthday parties as a kid. Yeah. Actually my last
birthday party was when I turned thirty. Oh it did help.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You're right on par with this question, yes, yes, right,
how about copy? No, I went to one of your
birthday parties.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, like I never threw. I stopped throwing birthday parties
like when I was a teenager. But I've been fortunate
enough to have a surprise thirtieth fortieth and then Coco
surprised me for my fiftieth. Yeah that was and that
was during the pandemic. That was the first time we
saw each other. I think.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So nice to see everyone, yes, yes, so.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Wow, all right, So yeah, birthdays are kind of like
a after thirty one. A lot of people just say yeh,
it's okay, Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, more Cubby and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Are we happy with our first names? Most people are?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Right, christ we dive into this, Yes, most people are.
According to the survey, eighty seven percent of adult people
say that they like their names. A third say they
love it. There's a small minority of about thirteen percent
who say they don't like their name, and three percent
say they hate it, which it had me thinking, Kubby,
your name is actually Paul. Now do you? I know
(21:32):
you got the nickname Kubby, but does that mean you
don't like being called Paul?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I was fine with Paul, but just over the years,
because of my radio name, everyone just calls me Kubby
and I'm just used to it. Only three people, maybe
four people call me Paul, my sister, my dad, my
brother in law, and my niece and nephew. So like
five people that's it call me Paul.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And if you're you're out, you're at a store and
somebody goes, hey, Paul, do you even turn around?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It depends. I probably would if it was like that,
But you're more likely to have me turn around when
I hear cubby because you do not have many of that,
not any of those What about you, like Christine? They
did that's a great name. But you're happy with it,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, I'm happy with it now. I think when I
was younger, I probably wasn't. It's kind of like a
little sophisticated for when I was a little girl, do
you know what I mean? Like, but now I'm happy
with it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It did like it didn't fit you. You feel you
felt like I.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It seemed like everyone else was like Kristin or Christina
and mine felt serious Christine Christine. But now I'm like, okay,
it works.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
How about you, Kristine.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I am totally happy with my name, but I wasn't.
When I was a kid, I wanted to change my
name to Kimberly. Why because Kimberly was the Pink Power
Ranger and I wanted to be the Pink Power Ranger.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Well that scene, now that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
But you already had a K.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I already had a K. I'm glad that I did
not change it when I was eight years old.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Did you ever ask your parents why they like you
spell it with an E and right? Yes? Like why not?
I am like, is there a reason for that?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's a good question.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I'd never asked my parents that because I'm actually I'm well,
the story as told is that I'm named after, well
not after, but based on a Christian Slater because my
mom was a big Christian Slater fan in the late eighties.
Oh so, but why the spelling. I don't know, that's
that's a good question. And I grew up with a
bunch of other Christians and they were always all spelled differently.
(23:28):
It was a popular name when I was born.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I guess, right, and Christian Slaters with a ch, right,
and you're like.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
My daughter Naomi often says to me, do you know, daddy,
you have four names, Paul, Cobby, Bryant, daddy. Oh so,
any one of those four will work for me, right, exactly,
