You're taking care of us, man.

best cheeses. Yeah, so happy National Cheese Day. It's National
Old Maid's Day. Like the card game Old Maids. What's
what's National Old Maid's Day?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
A million dollars? They mean women who aren't married?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh you are, Actually, Kristy's looking it up.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
What it's to recognize the women who never marry and
remain childless. While the term may not seem to be flattering,
we still think it's important to celebrate old maids everywhere,
to honor all the contributions they make to their families
and community.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Can we change the name? Yeah, Maid's Day, single, Lady's Day,
whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's like twenty twenty five where we're offended by everything.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Old man?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh is this still going?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Is there a similar name for men? There is not.
They just call it bachelor's which sounds like swinging. Yeah,
that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Good point. Maybe tomorrow could be old Dude's Day or something.
Just yeah, yeah, it's National Cognac Day too, So a
shout out to all our friends from France, because Cognac
is a region of France. Oh, so, shout out Miss Karen.
She's our daycare director in East Brunswick, New Jersey. She's French. Yes, excellent,
So I'll have to bring her some brandy. Do you

(01:50):
like Kognac? Anybody in the room like Cognak?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know if I've ever tried conac.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
You've never had Conyak?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
You can't remember?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Let's do it? Whoo is kind of pricey? I if
I I feel like that.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Why I've never had it. And by the time you
get to the end of dinner and they bring that
stuff out, I'm like under the table anyway, So I
never never really do it.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I know I liked you for a reason.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah you can. I'm a lightweight. No, I'm a solid lightweight.
Like to party right right when you want me to? More?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect
next on light at them?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Pretty cool, It's three pretty cool things. You need to know.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
How many miles per gallon does the human body get
at of what? Well? A study found that the average
person walks about nine hundred miles per year. Another study
found that we drink an average of twenty two gallons
of beer a year. That means, on average, we get
about forty one miles per gallon. Not bad, right, pretty

(02:52):
good with the human body.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
By that thing, What is your cool thing, Nina? Since
it's Old Maid's Day, which has a horrible name, it
has a good ending though. Here. Who is happier being single?
The women? A recent survey found on average, single women
are happier thirty two percent say they have a highly
satisfied life, but only twenty percent of men. More women
are happy with their their love, lives, their health, all

(03:16):
those kinds of things than men.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, we don't need a man, but you both do
and you're both.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Happy because we like them, y don't need them.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Okay, all right, okay, So McDonald's has made a very
big announcement. Every McDonald's fan has been waiting for this
for a very long time. The snack rap is coming
back officially.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's a rap with chicken. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
It was definitely a very big millennial thing. We would
go out drinking and then we'd go to a twenty
four hour McDonalds and would get snacked.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh okay, it was just it was a big deal.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
July tenth, July tenth, Yes, okay, it's coming back.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And then in November you get the McRib usually November October.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
So that's when they bring it back. I like, okay,
all right.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
We have three pretty cool things every morning right around
this time here at Light FM.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light at.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Them want to six pointy seven Light FM, Cubby with
Nina and for Christine producer Christen. Some people think my
jokes are cheesy, and I understand that it's a National
Cheese Day, though it's not about my joke.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Isn't it funny how we use cheese as a derogatory
term when we're talking about things like that. But yeah,
in real life, we all love cheese.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Most people love cheese, love cheese.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right, it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It is National Cheese Day, and you have the world's favorite.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Cheeses, America's favorite cho okay, very.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Specific, all right, so we have a top ten.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
By the way, we eat forty two pounds per person
per year. Whoa wow, it's a lot. So your beer analogy,
we could be walking on what's our miles per cheese
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's a great question, because we drink twenty two gallons
of beer a year, but.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
We eat forty two pounds of cheese.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Wow, Okay, that's rough. So now, do you like cheese
at all time? Or do you have to pair it
with something?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I like to pair it with something. I do like
to think about that, just because if you like food,
you'd kind of like to think about what goes with this.
It's just kind of fun, right, But I don't need
to love the cheese with nothing right. All right, let's
go in reverse order a little bit. I'll just do
the the maybe top or bottom. Three. First, Americans love Colby,
Jack American and brick. What is brick cheese? I don't know.

(05:22):
That's on the list. Brick cheese just like a big
brick of cheese. They don't mean cheddar that's elsewhere on
the list.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Is brick a brand name or just a.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I don't think so. These are all types of cheese,
like the one above. It is blue cheese. It's not
everybody loves right.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I actually like blue cheese. Salad a salad monster? Eh yeah.
Number five is monster, I'm sorry. Number five is Hispanic cheese,
which is a completely ridiculous statement because there's more than
one kind of of cheese that comes out of Latin.
It's a case of fresco manchego. I love mancheka. I

(05:58):
can eat that by the bucket.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I couldn't tell what that tastes like if I tasted it,
maybe I've had, But.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's like a nutty hard cheese. It's really good Swiss cheese.
Number four here, no, I love provolon, no provolone where
is that Provolona and Tomato. Want a bagel? Fantastic? Yeah,
cream cheese. Number three makes sense, Yeah, that's the bagel,
right right. Number two is cheddar. Do you know what
I learned about cheddar? Cheddar? It's supposed to flake. That's

(06:24):
good cheddar? Oh is it? It's not supposed to you know,
like kind of stretch and be woody.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
You were talking like you make it all the time
or something. I have no idea, like, well.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Because there's if you slice cheddar cheese and it's kind
of gummy, that's not right. I didn't know that. When
it's flakes, it's good. Yeah, that's interesting. I have it.
It's like extra shark. I did an interview about cheese
once forget connected. I like it. Oh my god, I
loved it. Number very well versed in. Number one is mozzarella.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Mozzarella's number one. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
You know my favorite go cheese cheese is my favorite
that's not on this list.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, I love go cheese.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
There's an Arabic cheese I love. It's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, I like there's a oh my gosh, like a
horse Radish cheese. Oh, that's really good. I don't know.
Who makes it? I think a few people probably make it. Yeah,
but it just you cut into it. It has that
horse radish kind of tasty.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't think of it right now. HALLOOI Hallooey's amazing
too because you can grill it.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
You can grill that.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, it doesn't, it melts a little, but you can
put it like on a hot pan and grill it
and put it in it. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Good time to grill.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah. Can you tell we're excited about National Cheese day
to day? Enjoy it? Everybody might have more.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect.
Next on Light at them.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Is a little loving Mind.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
It's Cubby and Gristine.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Crazy first date.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hi, Jennifer, how are you? It's Kubby, Nina and Kristen.
Can you tell us about this crazy first date? When
did this happen?

Speaker 5 (07:49):
So a few years ago I was going on like
a spree of first dates over the summer and I
met this stuy online and throughout the whole date he
was talking like an elament and talking only about himself,
and it seems like his mood was switching a lot
during the date, and like an hour into the date.

(08:09):
He was like, so, like, I know nothing about you,
And I said, well, he didn't ask me any questions.
You've been talking about yourself whole time. And he told
me that he has multiple personality disorder and that he'd
been switching me throughout the entire date.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
So this wasn't one date. This was a bunch of dates.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
And once you're with a crowd, basically right, crazy first dates.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I mean, that's that's that's nuts. What was your reaction.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
I just asked him a little bit about it. I mean,
I said, like, what kind of personalities do you have?
And he told me that one of them he blacks
out and gets really angry, and then he's been kicked
out of school throughout his whole life. And I didn't
see him for a second date.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, I applaud him for being honest up front, but yeah,
oh yes, me too.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Wow, that's what I told him. I was like, thank
you for being honest, but I don't think I don't
think it was very safe for me to be with somebody.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
How long ago was that And what's your current status now?

he will go down as a one hit wonder pretty much.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect. Next on light FM.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
It is eight o'clock, it is hump day and Christine
is out, but Nina's filling in with all your headlines.
Good morning, Nina, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
After operating for less than a week, the Israeli military
says aid distribution centers in Gaza are being suspended. ICE
has detained the family of the suspect in Sunday's anti
Semitic fire attack that injured twelve people. People in Boulder
hospitals won't be required to perform emergency abortions after the
Trump administration rescinded a Biden rule. As Pride Month begins,
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly ordering the Navy to

(12:05):
remove Harvey Milt's name from a supply ship, and new
numbers released by City Hall find that overall subway crime
is down four percent this year compared to last year,
but assaults in the subway system are up seventeen percent.
Yankees beat the Guardians three to two, Mets lost to
the Dodger six to five, fresh off their deepest playoff
run in twenty five years. The Nicks fired coach Tom
Thibodeau yesterday and Best Beta Technologies yesterday became the first

(12:28):
company to land an all electric aircraft at an airport
in our area. It was a forty five minute flight
from Suffolk County to Queen's with a pilot and four passengers,
which cost just eight dollars in electricity. So the potential
for much cheaper tickets is there. It is on the way,
they say in the next eighteen to twenty months. They
should be once they get through FA certifications, more more

(12:50):
likely to be in the area for everybody.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
So you'll have to like, like, if there's a weather
issue somewhere, you'll divert for charging instead of fuel. I
guess right, you have to charge guys.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It would be they're also really quiet, that's the other
trick of them, like an electric car.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Christen seems very nervous ready for that.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Well, there's just a lot of stuff going on in
the news with flying right now.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, it all makes me a little nervous, that's true.
I feel more comfortable about an electric plane, I think,
than a self driving car though, right I feel.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
More comfortable about the electric boogie. Can you do the
electric boogie? The electric slide?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I've done Ito Woogi? Yeah, it feels good.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
More Cubby and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
On six point seven light FM. What is happening? I'm Kubby,
you're Nina do Rio there you're in for Christine am
We have producer Kristen. She's back in the saddle and
she brought up something in studio and I got us chatting.
And it makes me wonder what other people do with
their partners as far as I don't want to use
the word permission, but do you kind of ask your

(14:00):
husband if you can go out with friends? I do.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
We We do that to each other. So one of
my girlfriends, you know, she texted in the group and
was like, let's have a girl's night. I said, okay, yeah,
no problem, let me just ask Ryan. They're like, well,
why do you have to ask Ryan? I said, well,
doesn't everybody do that, doesn't Everyone just ask their partner
or their spouse say, hey, you know, do you mind
if I go out for drinks with the girls.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
My wife's by the way, tomorrow, I'm going out to
dinner with bah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Good for her, all.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Right, But we have we have kids, you know, obviously,
and it's just kind of like a thing. I just
want to make sure he does the same thing to me.
We would never say no unless there's set plans. You know, hey,
you can't because we have such and such going on.
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's good to keep that in your back pocket, though,
because sometimes people will ask you to do stuff and
you don't really want to go, and you could go, oh,
I'm just going to ask, and then you get out
of it that way. Oh, it's like a permission slip
that doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
That's a good point. Yeah, I just thought this was
a thing that everybody did, But I guess.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not right now. Well, because in your mind, you're gonna go, right,
he's probably not gonna say no, right, But it's more
of like just just throwing it out there so he
can be prepared for it.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I was saying, are you up for watching the kids
in a way, right, I.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Mean that's how That's exactly how I approached it. I
went up to him and I said, do you mind
if I go get drinks with the girls?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah? Today night? Yeah, And he's like, yeah, totally fine. Great.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
He does the same thing to me though, when he
wants to go out.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
That's very polite.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
My wife does it in a different way. She'll say, hey,
I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night. You got the kids, right? Ah,
So she's I guess maybe she's kind of like asking,
but not really, and I do. Yeah, she's doing it anyway,
and I got the kids. We're good. But you will
straight up see I don't know a lot of times
what's happening until she's already booked it. You don't even
book it yet. You just make sure he's got the kids,

(15:46):
and then then you'll say to your friend, we can
go out.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
That's just kind of how we operate.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I grew up that way though.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I was always asking my parents' permission, even when I
didn't have to, even as an adult. My mom's like,
you're twenty five, why are you asking me? But I
don't know what about you?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Nina I don't you know what, Mark doesn't like it
always want because he gets home from work like nine o'clock, right,
So if I'm out, he comes home late at night
and it's like we won't see each other at all.
So he I will tell him most of the time,
but I'm trying to be a little bit more like,
you know, I'm going out on Thursday? Is that I
guess I'm doing it? Gosh, yeah, but I've already and

(16:22):
I've already bought the ticket. I've already booked the thing. Like,
I'm not going to turn you know, I'm not going
to say no, right, but I'm just sort of letting
him know. He always asked me though, But I think
it's because we have to do anything planned. But we
never heard anything planned, you know, right?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
No, are there here's the burning question? Then text us
at four four three six three. Do you ask your partner? Uh,
not really permission? I guess maybe permission?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Are you asking?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Are you asking permission? Where are you going to go
out with the girls or the guys? And do they
say yes or no? Hit us up at four four
three six three. And if they say no, then what
do you do? Right? It's a whole other conversation Tabby.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
And Christine in the morning. More coming up one O
