with us and kind of last minute for you to
come in. Christine's okay, but she needed to take today
off so she.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Had something to do, so I came in.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, all good, and you're on how much sleep? Because
you had a show last week?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Six hours? Yeah, I had my closing of my play
last night, so yeah, but you know, I'll take a
nap after this.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Off Broadway right, technically off off off break, which means
it was a smaller, smaller than the it's about seat size,
so smaller than one hundred seats, okay, because I've done
off off off off, off off off day. That's like
really small.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
There's not a lot of those theaters.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, yeah, they only hold like twenty thirty people produce
a Christin. How you doing over there?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Surviving Thursday?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I know, I'm telling you what We've been talking about
it all week. That hour we lost over the weekend.
We are still trying to get to cruising altitude. It's
like Thursday, and it hasn't been that busy around here, Kristin.
It's been kind of chill, right, but it feels like
it's been NonStop.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's because you're already operating on short sleep on this schedule.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And I know we sound like we're a bunch of
whiners and we're and we're complaining. Yeah, but again we
are a little I guess we are a little bit.
But when you wake up at three am and your
body is at two am, it just takes so many
more days to get adjusted to that. And if you
wake up at eight am and it's really seven.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Am, yes, but even if you're not having to wake
up at three am, it's dark still at seven am,
So you wake up and it's like, oh, I right,
be asleep. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But then again, we're happy about the daylight at seven pm.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Unless you have kids, then you're just you know, Chris,
are you having a struggle in the evening a little
bit there?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They're old enough to see the light coming through you know,
you know they're shades. They're like, wait a second, why.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Am I going to What time is bedtime for your
three year old Jagger?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Between seven and seven thirty?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, And there's a little light coming through, right.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So there's still just a yeah, not fully yet, But
you know the summertime, nine o'clock, the sun goes down,
wait for July.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
As a kid, that's the saddest thing in the world.
Kids are out outside and you're in your room looking
through the glass. That's my memory of being a child. Right,
They're all in their bikes.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they're still playing. But mom told you to go
to bed. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, well you know that's
the price you pay. Now you're what for being six?
Well yeah, six yeah, and your mom and dad calling
the shots.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
And then when you know, you get a little older,
what do you do? I'm staying up?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yep, perfect?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What time do you go to bed? When you're like you're.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I feel like it was eighteen sixteen?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
At what point did you call the shots on it?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was like a latch key kid. So by the
time I have fifteen sixteen, you know you were out.
No one knew where you were.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right right right, you know? And then the commercial started
on the.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
TV totally where do you know your children are?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Your children are absolutely pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I thought this was pretty cool. Did you know no
number before one thousand contains the letter A, so if
you write the word for the number, like pick any number,
I mean one in a thousand, three hundred and ninety
eight if you wrote that word, if you have the words,
it'd be no A in there?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Can I be honest with you?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What no number before one thousand? Conteen's the letter? So
what's the first number that has.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
A in it? I'm gonna be honest. We actually looked
this up before the ship, before you started talking about it. Right, Yeah,
we had no idea. Okay, because we're dumb. But what
is when you when is the first one?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Go ahead, Kristen, tell them one thousand, one thousands, because
you have the A in thousands.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I thought that was a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What's your cool thing? Nina del Rio?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's okay to go on vacation without your spouse, all.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Right, what's your cool thing? Say?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You're not done yet.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I got two sentence. It's fine as long as you communicate.
This is in my head because I haven't gone on
a vacation without my husband in a while. But I'm
thinking about it. Okay, I really like to do it,
and my friend and I are working on something. So, yeah,
as long as you tell your spouse where you're going,
you know, text in all that stuff whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But you're not going by yourself. You're going with a friend.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I kind of want to go with my I
kind of want to go with my friend. But I
could go alone too, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm not a therapist. Say it's okay if you're married
and you go alone.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, they say, as long as you keep you know,
keep communication, it could be good for growth or whatever.
I don't know what. But you don't feel guilty about it,
is the point.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Pretty cool? Yeah, all right, producer Kristin, what do you have?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Do you guys remember Spinal Tap the movie? Of course
nineteen eighty four, They are officially releasing the sequel.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well it took fifty years, yeah, right, forty years whatever,
Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The end continues. There's already a teaser for the movie.
Don't show much. I did watch it, but you can
go to YouTube and check it out. The cool thing though,
is that there are going to be some big cameos
in this movie. They're talking Elton, John, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So it's going to be released later. I think they
said September later this year.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And in the year twenty sixty five, spinal tap three
every forty years a new spinal tap.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
More Cuvey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Cubby and Nina and for Christine producer Kristen were hanging
out and we're smoking candy cigarettes. It's great.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, we're actually reminiscing about things that were done in
the eighties and even the nineties for that matter. And
it kind of would be shocked if it happened today.
And I think candy cigarettes they still make those, right,
But wouldn't that be like as a parent now seeing
my five year old with a candy cigarette, I'd be like,
it doesn't look good, right, but my parents let me
(05:33):
do it, but now I don't want them to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, they tasted delicious.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They really did.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They were just sugar, yeah, kind of stick.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But we found a bunch of things that were happening
back in the day. And let me know if you
remember any of this. Riding in a car without seat.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Belts, writing in the back of a truck without anything,
remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Like no clothes or anything. Whoa, Now, I just I remember,
like not even thinking twice about putting a seatbelt on.
You just got in the car and you went and
you had leather seats. You make a wide turn, You're like, whoa,
you slide all across. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, it's like a ride back there.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Drinking from a garden hose.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's fantastic in the summer, be hot, you pick up
the memories hose water in the summer.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now, Kristin, you don't know much about that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
To you, that's one we didn't do.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's a suburb it's a suburban thing, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Again, the title of this article is things eighties kids did.
But you know, you're kind of a nineties kid, Kristin,
So you know all about writing, you know, without seatbelts
and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Oh, we used to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, but the but the garden hose not so much. Right.
Memorizing phone numbers, Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, oh yeah, you had to, right, you had to.
That's not that old. Well twenty five years, twenty years. Yeah, Well,
do you know any phone numbers anymore?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I know my best friend's phone number because I called
him every day four two eight, one seven five seven.
His name was Richard and we called him Dicky cute yep,
and uh he uh yeah, I called him every day
we go out and play. Yeah, when you meet up
at the lake, Yep, we're going out to play.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's one back there.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You just did something that could be added to this list.
We know you didn't need an area code.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh that's true too.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, you're right, it was just seven digits. Yeah, exactly.
Other things that we did that you just are shocked
that kids don't do it today, Like using encyclopedias.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Using encyclopedia is getting left in the car while your
parents shopped.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes, you know what, that's a good point, come to
think of it. That happened a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, you just sit in that hot car.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, well no, they would cracked the poor thing, Nina.
My parents would cracked the windows at least. But I
remember them like leaving me in the car and like,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Or you'd be or you'd be in the car with
the windows up and they're having a cigarette rather smoking
driving down the road.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
As you had your candy cigarette. Absolutely, what else here
that we can relate to, Oh, blowing on Nintendo cartridges
to fix them, or atari that happened all the time
you put in a game, it doesn't kind of fire upright,
So you take the cartridge out and you you're blowing
it m and when you put it back in. It
seemed to work all the time, every time. But we
(07:56):
really don't know if that was doing the trick or
not it was legit. We're just getting.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Lucky, but it seemed to do just wishing on a star.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh man, waiting weeks for photos to get.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Development house in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, yeah, you would bring a roll in and have
to wait a good week or two.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
When CBS came out with a one hour photo.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's a huge gosh, that was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Who would just hang out at CBS for an hour?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Uh? What other things can you relate to that? I
think a lot of kids would be shocked today if
they knew about give us a text at four four
three six three. Would love to hear from you. A
lot of text messages, I mean, just hysterical text messages
like this one right here. Eighties rule. I bought cigarettes
for my mom as a kid. Imagine doing not today.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'll take it. Cardon.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
How about calling your mom or dad? Collect And this
person said they used to call their mom collect and
their name would be open the Door. You have a
collect call from open the Door? Do you accept the charges?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, but you got the message through open the Door
the yellow pages. Yeah, that's a flashback. I mean today I.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Was looking for stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I would always look at my name, our family name
in the white pages like you you exist, there, we are,
I've made it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
How about watching a TV show in real time?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You know there are times I put on a regular
TV show for my kids and a commercial comes on
and the kids are like, what is this that's hilarious
called a commercial? You know, like, do you get it, Kristen?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Even the five second commercial on YouTube before the skip ad,
they're like why.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They don't know commercials using a map book, a map book,
dial up modems. It says, that's a text map book
using a map just dial up modems. I don't know
what that is. But map quest is on here.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Oh that was a big one.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You had a huge one. That was was map map
Questions before the garments.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, I feel like it's around the same time, right,
I don't. But map quest is still up and running.
I believe. If you go to map quest dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
A lot of ads on there be like nineteen pages.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh huh, you knew how far of a road trip
it was depending on how many pages it was. Let's
see people texting in about things from the eighties and
nineties that kids today would not understand, like flipping baseball
cards in the garage. Yeah. I never really did that.
I had friends that did that. Oh, getting a busy
signal on the phone when trying to call your friend
(10:28):
and you'd call the operator to make an emergency breakthrough?
Did you ever do an emergency.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Breakthrough so obnoxious? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yes, to me, I felt like if you did that,
it's like calling nine to one one.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You know it's but nothing happened. You're just saying I
need to make an emergency breakthrough to four nine eight
nine eight nine eight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But didn't come down to the operator. Couldn't the operator
say no if you didn't want to do I never
did it. I don't know, Producer Christen Days and know
what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I would do it because my sister would always be
on the phone like I gotta I gotta call somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Right, Yeah, how about calling for one one?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
What was on information?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah? Do you know that Kristen.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I do, yeah, No, four one one I do. I'm
getting distracted because a new text came in.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
A nude new Okay, POGs.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Do you guys know what POGs are?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Was that a skip thing?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They were these little like disc like cardboard discs, but
you would collect them and they were a game.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
They were like the hottest thing in the ninth I
do remember the name, but I wouldn't really a nineties
kid in the nineties. I was already in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, I don't know what those are. What were that?
You just collecting things?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They would have different images on them, is what, and
you would just collect them and it was a game.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well kind of yeah, Hey, how you doing coming? Oh
I got a text, you've got pictures? Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (11:49):

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Busy online, more covey in Christine and the great music
variety You expect next on light f.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Them seven oh seven on this Thursday morning, one of
six pointy seven light FM. Cuby here Nina do rio
in for Christine, got producer Christen. It's March thirteenth, and
uh man, I'm not trying to go back and bring
up bad times. But I got to tell you today
is like a weird day because March thirteenth, give or
take a couple of days, but for the most part,
(12:24):
March thirteenth, five years ago was a big day when
things really started to shut down, and not just really
here in New York, but all over the world.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was a Friday, Yes it was. Yes, it was
a Friday, and that was the day people kind of
officially set a lot of city governments. Today's the day
we go home. Yeah, things are closed.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And so many memories are flooding back, even on my phone,
like my memories. Yeah, I have pictures of equipment that
I had to take home, but I took pictures of
it to send to engineers so they could like tell
me what to do with how to put into different
cables because we had a broadcast from home.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I had just start doing our shows from home very soon.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, And there was a basketball game on last night,
the Big East Tournament, you know, March Madness was about
to start. And I remember watching a game, and I
remember certain tournaments were being canceled and Saint John's was
about to play a game. I'm like, there's no way
they're going to that game was called at halftime, all
these all these different like yeah, there was cancelations going on.
(13:21):
People didn't know what was going on. Kristen, what do
you remember about today or this week? Pretty much five
years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I just remember, you know, work saying, you know, the
studio is gonna shut down, the station's gonna shut down,
because I was working at a radio station in New Jersey.
But you still have to be on the air, you know.
And then it was just my husband and I. We
didn't have kids yet, we had just gotten married only
a couple of weeks you know before Wow. Yeah, we
had were the last like big wedding to happen, and
(13:48):
it was just just chaos, right it was. It was
crazy to think about it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
And you're one of the few that were in a
radio station and stayed there, Yes, because we hear Light FM.
Nobody was in this studio for what almost two years?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Almost two years well, but we were in the downtown.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Studio, correct, We were a different studio, which.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I remember now going through my pictures just now. We
were there to at least March twentieth, and I remember
because I do the weekend shows regularly. Everybody during the week,
the engineers had so much to deal with, all these
stations and all these DJs figuring out how to get
people home. It would never broadcast from their house. They
were going one by one, so everybody was sort of
set up for home, and I was one of the
last ones to actually talk to the engineers and get
(14:29):
set up to record at home. So it took another week.
So the twentieth at least the twentieth is when I
was home, and I have pictures of Tribeca empty, and
then I didn't go back for two years.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
How many of us heard, Hey, it's going to be
maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a month at the most. Yeah,
I heard that all the time, hoping they were right.
Little did we know. For a lot of people, it.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Was in my mind it was June. It was June,
and actually I was rehearsing for a play at that time,
and we were going to go up in April or something,
I can't remember, and they decided, well, let's just keep
doing rehearsals online. So we were doing rehearsals like zoom,
like every few days. And then after like two months
where they were like, this is not going anywhere. Like
we can't just keep doing zoom and then we didn't
do it for two years, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And what we dealt with in our professional life does
not compare at all to the thousands that lost their
lives and to different like morgues set up.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Of course, all the things.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The remote hospitals in Central Park and the Jacob Javitt Center.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
They had a ship.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, the ship coming in. I mean that just thinking
I can't believe we live through it, Like I can't.
It seems like it was twenty years ago and not
five years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
All the people cheering, the healthcare workers out at seven
o'clock during the ship changes.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I mean, the memories are flooding back as you bring
all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Up, but it does seem like a million years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, we were talking about this yesterday. How you know
you would sit there and say, Okay, this is happening.
But it's not just in New Jersey. It's not just
the Tri State area, it's not just the America. This
is the whole entire world. Every single living person in
the world is experienced well.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
People shifted right, people change careers, people decided to have kids,
to not have kids, to move to different places, a
lot of people left the city. Actually, this year they
just put out news this week. This year is the
first year in New York State is gained residence since
the pandemic because so many people left.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Wow, I didn't know that. Well, if you want a
very interesting exercise, if you're tuned in right now, just
take your cell phone out sometime today and go back
to this week twenty twenty, and my pictures are all
filled with like either screenshots of the news because they
put a phone number up about COVID, or memes because
remember in the very beginning, it was like, my first
(16:44):
meme was the Corona beer with a mask on that
and like you were kind of like, oh, the coronavirus,
but you didn't know how serious it was.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Right, And pictures of the empty grocery store shelves that kind.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Of oh, don't you have a picture?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I do? I have no potatoes and no onions left
of the growth, right, everybody just shopped out the whole section.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's crazy, all right. Well, if you
have thoughts on this, and the memories come flooding back
to you like it does for us, and again they're
good memories and bad memories, but it's hard to believe
it's been five years four four, three six three. On
text it is a little loving mine.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It's Covey and Christine crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
First date, So Holly, tell us when you're crazy. First
date happened.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
It started out kind of harrowingly. So I met this
guy through friends. I met him at a party, and
he seemed really cool. He was nice and cute, and
he asked me out. And so then we were going
to go out to dinner, and it was in an
area where, you know, he had grown up nearby, and
so he told me, you know, on the way to
(17:48):
the restaurant, we were going to stop at his aunt's house,
and he just wanted to stop and stay hi since
we were nearby. So I said okay, And then we
started kind of driving through a forest, and I became
increasingly nervous and anxious because I thought, what is this
guy going to like do to me in the forest?
I mean, are we actually going to a kind older
(18:10):
female relative's house who lives in the wood. Hacked me
to a million pieces like who lived.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
In the woods?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, you know you can see where I
was going in my head, like pretty nervous. I even thought,
should I try to get out of the car and run,
like I was really scared. I didn't know him. So
then we pulled up at this kindly older woman's house
and she said, oh, I'm so glad to see you, honey.
(18:36):
Who's your friend? And we just had a short visit
with his nice old aunt who gave us some cookies
and sent us on our way. And it does, yeah,
And so then I told him I was able to
tell him, like I was really scared when we were
driving through the forest, I didn't know we were where
we were going. And we laughed about it and we
(18:56):
actually had like a really good time, went out a
couple more times, and you know, he turned out to
be pretty nice. But that was it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But not dating anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
No, this was a while ago, and I did find
out that he kind of wasn't doing so well. I
heard that he got into drugs and stuff, but as
far as I know, no murders.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So it worked out for you, not so much for him.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Them Cubby and Christine in the morning. But Christine is out,
she'll be back tomorrow. Nina's filling in. We got producer
Kristen hanging out. What was the question you threw at
me before we went on the air?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What do couples without kids fight about? Like, if you
have kids, you're talking about your kids? Is that what
you mostly fight about?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
If you fight, right, usually it'll be something that stems
from the kids that maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You don't agree on.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You don't agree.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Should they have the cookie? Should they not have the cookie?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Should they have the iPad? Not have the iPad right, right,
But if you don't have kids, what are the main
so like for you? For example, yeah, you and your
husband Mark? Yeah, no kids. What are you guys arguing?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We fight about we find about like yesterday, yesterday he
made fun of me and it really annoyed me. It
was the first time he made fun of me about it.
The first time I could not get the cat in
the carrier for the vet. We had a bet appointment
and the cat like figured it out and so it
hid and then I couldn't get it because it was
in this place and I so I had to cancel
the vet appointment. He was like, you know, you blew it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Get your chance.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
You had your chance and you messed it up. You
goofed it up because he had to come home to
help me in whatever. I mean, it was like that,
we'll fight about the cat and that's your kid. Yeah,
and who ate the trisk gets or who ate the cookies?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
What is TikTok saying though? People fight about that?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
TikTok says about people fight about bed times, right, like
I want to go to bed, you don't want to
go to bed?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I mean I can't maybe disagreeing on the time but that's.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Not a fight.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
How about this one. This one's my favorite. Folding the
towels wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, my wife hates when I foold the towels wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
They don't fit in the drawer then, or they don't
fit in the cabinet right right now.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's a certain way. She likes it, and I try
to do it, but I don't always nail it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But but you try at least.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I do try. I do try.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think you get seventy for trying.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Does that bother you, Kristen when your husband does the
towels wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's why I do the launche, the only one that
her reason?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
What else is on the list? I want to know?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Let's see, Oh, somebody's eating sweets or eating you know,
sweet stuff, and the other person's not brings it in
the house. We fight about that. Actually annoying.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, my wife will bust me if she'll look in
the trash can if she's throwing out something. Yeah, she'll
look in the trash can and go what else is
in there? Oh? You had a TwixT high pitched.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, she's worried about you.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, she's making sure I'm healthy. Yeah, Kristen told me,
you've done that too.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I have shown that garbage. I've went not on purpose.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're not going through the garbage, but you just happen
to be throwing away.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Something exactly, and all of a sudden there's a candy
wrapper on the top. I know I didn't get it,
and my kids can't reach it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So yeah, Mark will have like a Wendy's bag shoved
in there. I know he's trying to hide.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That stuff, but you're looking out for him making it well.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I just yeah, you can't eat that and then have
dinner too. Oh it's like a five o'clock dinners, right, exactly.
That's a lot
One o six point seven Light FM with Kubby and
(00:02):
Nina del Rio and for Christine today producer Christen hanging
with us and kind of last minute for you to
come in. Christine's okay, but she needed to take today
off so she.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Had something to do, so I came in.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, all good, and you're on how much sleep? Because
you had a show last week?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Six hours? Yeah, I had my closing of my play
last night, so yeah, but you know, I'll take a
nap after this.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Off Broadway right, technically off off off break, which means
it was a smaller, smaller than the it's about seat size,
so smaller than one hundred seats, okay, because I've done
off off off off, off off off day. That's like
really small.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
There's not a lot of those theaters.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No, yeah, they only hold like twenty thirty people produce
a Christin. How you doing over there?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Surviving Thursday?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I know, I'm telling you what We've been talking about
it all week. That hour we lost over the weekend.
We are still trying to get to cruising altitude. It's
like Thursday, and it hasn't been that busy around here, Kristin.
It's been kind of chill, right, but it feels like
it's been NonStop.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's because you're already operating on short sleep on this schedule.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And I know we sound like we're a bunch of
whiners and we're and we're complaining. Yeah, but again we
are a little I guess we are a little bit.
But when you wake up at three am and your
body is at two am, it just takes so many
more days to get adjusted to that. And if you
wake up at eight am and it's really seven.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Am, yes, but even if you're not having to wake
up at three am, it's dark still at seven am,
So you wake up and it's like, oh, I right,
be asleep. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But then again, we're happy about the daylight at seven pm.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Unless you have kids, then you're just you know, Chris,
are you having a struggle in the evening a little
bit there?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They're old enough to see the light coming through you know,
you know they're shades. They're like, wait a second, why.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Am I going to What time is bedtime for your
three year old Jagger?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Between seven and seven thirty?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, And there's a little light coming through, right.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So there's still just a yeah, not fully yet, But
you know the summertime, nine o'clock, the sun goes down,
wait for July.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
As a kid, that's the saddest thing in the world.
Kids are out outside and you're in your room looking
through the glass. That's my memory of being a child. Right,
They're all in their bikes.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they're still playing. But mom told you to go
to bed. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, well you know that's
the price you pay. Now you're what for being six?
Well yeah, six yeah, and your mom and dad calling
the shots.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
And then when you know, you get a little older,
what do you do? I'm staying up?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yep, perfect?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What time do you go to bed? When you're like you're.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I feel like it was eighteen sixteen?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
At what point did you call the shots on it?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was like a latch key kid. So by the
time I have fifteen sixteen, you know you were out.
No one knew where you were.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right right right, you know? And then the commercial started
on the.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
TV totally where do you know your children are?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Your children are absolutely pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I thought this was pretty cool. Did you know no
number before one thousand contains the letter A, so if
you write the word for the number, like pick any number,
I mean one in a thousand, three hundred and ninety
eight if you wrote that word, if you have the words,
it'd be no A in there?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Can I be honest with you?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What no number before one thousand? Conteen's the letter? So
what's the first number that has.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
A in it? I'm gonna be honest. We actually looked
this up before the ship, before you started talking about it. Right, Yeah,
we had no idea. Okay, because we're dumb. But what
is when you when is the first one?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Go ahead, Kristen, tell them one thousand, one thousands, because
you have the A in thousands.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I thought that was a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It is a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What's your cool thing? Nina del Rio?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's okay to go on vacation without your spouse, all.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Right, what's your cool thing? Say?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You're not done yet.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I got two sentence. It's fine as long as you communicate.
This is in my head because I haven't gone on
a vacation without my husband in a while. But I'm
thinking about it. Okay, I really like to do it,
and my friend and I are working on something. So, yeah,
as long as you tell your spouse where you're going,
you know, text in all that stuff whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But you're not going by yourself. You're going with a friend.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I kind of want to go with my I
kind of want to go with my friend. But I
could go alone too, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm not a therapist. Say it's okay if you're married
and you go alone.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, they say, as long as you keep you know,
keep communication, it could be good for growth or whatever.
I don't know what. But you don't feel guilty about it,
is the point.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Pretty cool? Yeah, all right, producer Kristin, what do you have?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Do you guys remember Spinal Tap the movie? Of course
nineteen eighty four, They are officially releasing the sequel.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well it took fifty years, yeah, right, forty years whatever,
Spinal Tap two.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The end continues. There's already a teaser for the movie.
Don't show much. I did watch it, but you can
go to YouTube and check it out. The cool thing though,
is that there are going to be some big cameos
in this movie. They're talking Elton, John, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So it's going to be released later. I think they
said September later this year.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And in the year twenty sixty five, spinal tap three
every forty years a new spinal tap.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
More Cuvey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Cubby and Nina and for Christine producer Kristen were hanging
out and we're smoking candy cigarettes. It's great.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, we're actually reminiscing about things that were done in
the eighties and even the nineties for that matter. And
it kind of would be shocked if it happened today.
And I think candy cigarettes they still make those, right,
But wouldn't that be like as a parent now seeing
my five year old with a candy cigarette, I'd be like,
it doesn't look good, right, but my parents let me
(05:33):
do it, but now I don't want them to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, they tasted delicious.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They really did.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They were just sugar, yeah, kind of stick.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But we found a bunch of things that were happening
back in the day. And let me know if you
remember any of this. Riding in a car without seat.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Belts, writing in the back of a truck without anything,
remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Like no clothes or anything. Whoa, Now, I just I remember,
like not even thinking twice about putting a seatbelt on.
You just got in the car and you went and
you had leather seats. You make a wide turn, You're like, whoa,
you slide all across. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, it's like a ride back there.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Drinking from a garden hose.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's fantastic in the summer, be hot, you pick up
the memories hose water in the summer.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now, Kristin, you don't know much about that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
To you, that's one we didn't do.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's a suburb it's a suburban thing, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Again, the title of this article is things eighties kids did.
But you know, you're kind of a nineties kid, Kristin,
So you know all about writing, you know, without seatbelts
and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Oh, we used to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, but the but the garden hose not so much. Right.
Memorizing phone numbers, Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, oh yeah, you had to, right, you had to.
That's not that old. Well twenty five years, twenty years. Yeah, Well,
do you know any phone numbers anymore?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I know my best friend's phone number because I called
him every day four two eight, one seven five seven.
His name was Richard and we called him Dicky cute yep,
and uh he uh yeah, I called him every day
we go out and play. Yeah, when you meet up
at the lake, Yep, we're going out to play.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There's one back there.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You just did something that could be added to this list.
We know you didn't need an area code.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh that's true too.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, you're right, it was just seven digits. Yeah, exactly.
Other things that we did that you just are shocked
that kids don't do it today, Like using encyclopedias.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Using encyclopedia is getting left in the car while your
parents shopped.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes, you know what, that's a good point, come to
think of it. That happened a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, you just sit in that hot car.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, well no, they would cracked the poor thing, Nina.
My parents would cracked the windows at least. But I
remember them like leaving me in the car and like,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Or you'd be or you'd be in the car with
the windows up and they're having a cigarette rather smoking
driving down the road.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
As you had your candy cigarette. Absolutely, what else here
that we can relate to, Oh, blowing on Nintendo cartridges
to fix them, or atari that happened all the time
you put in a game, it doesn't kind of fire upright,
So you take the cartridge out and you you're blowing
it m and when you put it back in. It
seemed to work all the time, every time. But we
(07:56):
really don't know if that was doing the trick or
not it was legit. We're just getting.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Lucky, but it seemed to do just wishing on a star.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh man, waiting weeks for photos to get.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Development house in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, yeah, you would bring a roll in and have
to wait a good week or two.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
When CBS came out with a one hour photo.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's a huge gosh, that was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Who would just hang out at CBS for an hour?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Uh? What other things can you relate to that? I
think a lot of kids would be shocked today if
they knew about give us a text at four four
three six three. Would love to hear from you. A
lot of text messages, I mean, just hysterical text messages
like this one right here. Eighties rule. I bought cigarettes
for my mom as a kid. Imagine doing not today.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'll take it. Cardon.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
How about calling your mom or dad? Collect And this
person said they used to call their mom collect and
their name would be open the Door. You have a
collect call from open the Door? Do you accept the charges?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
No, but you got the message through open the Door
the yellow pages. Yeah, that's a flashback. I mean today I.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Was looking for stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I would always look at my name, our family name
in the white pages like you you exist, there, we are,
I've made it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
How about watching a TV show in real time?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You know there are times I put on a regular
TV show for my kids and a commercial comes on
and the kids are like, what is this that's hilarious
called a commercial? You know, like, do you get it, Kristen?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Even the five second commercial on YouTube before the skip ad,
they're like why.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They don't know commercials using a map book, a map book,
dial up modems. It says, that's a text map book
using a map just dial up modems. I don't know
what that is. But map quest is on here.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Oh that was a big one.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You had a huge one. That was was map map
Questions before the garments.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, I feel like it's around the same time, right,
I don't. But map quest is still up and running.
I believe. If you go to map quest dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
A lot of ads on there be like nineteen pages.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh huh, you knew how far of a road trip
it was depending on how many pages it was. Let's
see people texting in about things from the eighties and
nineties that kids today would not understand, like flipping baseball
cards in the garage. Yeah. I never really did that.
I had friends that did that. Oh, getting a busy
signal on the phone when trying to call your friend
(10:28):
and you'd call the operator to make an emergency breakthrough?
Did you ever do an emergency.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Breakthrough so obnoxious? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yes, to me, I felt like if you did that,
it's like calling nine to one one.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You know it's but nothing happened. You're just saying I
need to make an emergency breakthrough to four nine eight
nine eight nine eight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But didn't come down to the operator. Couldn't the operator
say no if you didn't want to do I never
did it. I don't know, Producer Christen Days and know
what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I would do it because my sister would always be
on the phone like I gotta I gotta call somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Right, Yeah, how about calling for one one?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
What was on information?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah? Do you know that Kristen.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I do, yeah, No, four one one I do. I'm
getting distracted because a new text came in.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
A nude new Okay, POGs.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Do you guys know what POGs are?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Was that a skip thing?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
They were these little like disc like cardboard discs, but
you would collect them and they were a game.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
They were like the hottest thing in the ninth I
do remember the name, but I wouldn't really a nineties
kid in the nineties. I was already in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, I don't know what those are. What were that?
You just collecting things?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They would have different images on them, is what, and
you would just collect them and it was a game.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well kind of yeah, Hey, how you doing coming? Oh

(12:24):
March thirteenth, five years ago was a big day when
things really started to shut down, and not just really
here in New York, but all over the world.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was a Friday, Yes it was. Yes, it was
a Friday, and that was the day people kind of
officially set a lot of city governments. Today's the day
we go home. Yeah, things are closed.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And so many memories are flooding back, even on my phone,
like my memories. Yeah, I have pictures of equipment that
I had to take home, but I took pictures of
it to send to engineers so they could like tell
me what to do with how to put into different
cables because we had a broadcast from home.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I had just start doing our shows from home very soon.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, And there was a basketball game on last night,
the Big East Tournament, you know, March Madness was about
to start. And I remember watching a game, and I
remember certain tournaments were being canceled and Saint John's was
about to play a game. I'm like, there's no way
they're going to that game was called at halftime, all
these all these different like yeah, there was cancelations going on.
(13:21):
People didn't know what was going on. Kristen, what do
you remember about today or this week? Pretty much five
years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I just remember, you know, work saying, you know, the
studio is gonna shut down, the station's gonna shut down,
because I was working at a radio station in New Jersey.
But you still have to be on the air, you know.
And then it was just my husband and I. We
didn't have kids yet, we had just gotten married only
a couple of weeks you know before Wow. Yeah, we
had were the last like big wedding to happen, and
(13:48):
it was just just chaos, right it was. It was
crazy to think about it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
And you're one of the few that were in a
radio station and stayed there, Yes, because we hear Light FM.
Nobody was in this studio for what almost two years?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Almost two years well, but we were in the downtown.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Studio, correct, We were a different studio, which.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I remember now going through my pictures just now. We
were there to at least March twentieth, and I remember
because I do the weekend shows regularly. Everybody during the week,
the engineers had so much to deal with, all these
stations and all these DJs figuring out how to get
people home. It would never broadcast from their house. They
were going one by one, so everybody was sort of
set up for home, and I was one of the
last ones to actually talk to the engineers and get
(14:29):
set up to record at home. So it took another week.
So the twentieth at least the twentieth is when I
was home, and I have pictures of Tribeca empty, and
then I didn't go back for two years.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
How many of us heard, Hey, it's going to be
maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a month at the most. Yeah,
I heard that all the time, hoping they were right.
Little did we know. For a lot of people, it.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Was in my mind it was June. It was June,
and actually I was rehearsing for a play at that time,
and we were going to go up in April or something,
I can't remember, and they decided, well, let's just keep
doing rehearsals online. So we were doing rehearsals like zoom,
like every few days. And then after like two months
where they were like, this is not going anywhere. Like
we can't just keep doing zoom and then we didn't
do it for two years, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And what we dealt with in our professional life does
not compare at all to the thousands that lost their
lives and to different like morgues set up.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Of course, all the things.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The remote hospitals in Central Park and the Jacob Javitt Center.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
They had a ship.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, the ship coming in. I mean that just thinking
I can't believe we live through it, Like I can't.
It seems like it was twenty years ago and not
five years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
All the people cheering, the healthcare workers out at seven
o'clock during the ship changes.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I mean, the memories are flooding back as you bring
all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Up, but it does seem like a million years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, we were talking about this yesterday. How you know
you would sit there and say, Okay, this is happening.
But it's not just in New Jersey. It's not just
the Tri State area, it's not just the America. This
is the whole entire world. Every single living person in
the world is experienced well.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
People shifted right, people change careers, people decided to have kids,
to not have kids, to move to different places, a
lot of people left the city. Actually, this year they
just put out news this week. This year is the
first year in New York State is gained residence since
the pandemic because so many people left.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Wow, I didn't know that. Well, if you want a
very interesting exercise, if you're tuned in right now, just
take your cell phone out sometime today and go back
to this week twenty twenty, and my pictures are all
filled with like either screenshots of the news because they
put a phone number up about COVID, or memes because
remember in the very beginning, it was like, my first
(16:44):
meme was the Corona beer with a mask on that
and like you were kind of like, oh, the coronavirus,
but you didn't know how serious it was.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Right, And pictures of the empty grocery store shelves that kind.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Of oh, don't you have a picture?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I do? I have no potatoes and no onions left
of the growth, right, everybody just shopped out the whole section.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's crazy, all right. Well, if you
have thoughts on this, and the memories come flooding back
to you like it does for us, and again they're
good memories and bad memories, but it's hard to believe
it's been five years four four, three six three. On
text it is a little loving mine.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It's Covey and Christine crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
First date, So Holly, tell us when you're crazy. First
date happened.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
It started out kind of harrowingly. So I met this
guy through friends. I met him at a party, and
he seemed really cool. He was nice and cute, and
he asked me out. And so then we were going
to go out to dinner, and it was in an
area where, you know, he had grown up nearby, and
so he told me, you know, on the way to
(17:48):
the restaurant, we were going to stop at his aunt's house,
and he just wanted to stop and stay hi since
we were nearby. So I said okay, And then we
started kind of driving through a forest, and I became
increasingly nervous and anxious because I thought, what is this
guy going to like do to me in the forest?
I mean, are we actually going to a kind older
(18:10):
female relative's house who lives in the wood. Hacked me
to a million pieces like who lived.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
In the woods?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, you know you can see where I
was going in my head, like pretty nervous. I even thought,
should I try to get out of the car and run,
like I was really scared. I didn't know him. So
then we pulled up at this kindly older woman's house
and she said, oh, I'm so glad to see you, honey.
(18:36):
Who's your friend? And we just had a short visit
with his nice old aunt who gave us some cookies
and sent us on our way. And it does, yeah,
And so then I told him I was able to
tell him, like I was really scared when we were
driving through the forest, I didn't know we were where
we were going. And we laughed about it and we
(18:56):
actually had like a really good time, went out a
couple more times, and you know, he turned out to
be pretty nice. But that was it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But not dating anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
No, this was a while ago, and I did find
out that he kind of wasn't doing so well. I
heard that he got into drugs and stuff, but as
far as I know, no murders.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
So it worked out for you, not so much for him.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, I found someone else, so I haven't been on
any crazy first dates in the past couple of years. Thank.

Kristen hanging out. What was the question you threw at
me before we went on the air?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What do couples without kids fight about? Like, if you
have kids, you're talking about your kids? Is that what
you mostly fight about?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
If you fight, right, usually it'll be something that stems
from the kids that maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You don't agree on.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You don't agree.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Should they have the cookie? Should they not have the cookie?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Should they have the iPad? Not have the iPad right, right,
But if you don't have kids, what are the main
so like for you? For example, yeah, you and your
husband Mark? Yeah, no kids. What are you guys arguing?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We fight about we find about like yesterday, yesterday he
made fun of me and it really annoyed me. It
was the first time he made fun of me about it.
The first time I could not get the cat in
the carrier for the vet. We had a bet appointment
and the cat like figured it out and so it
hid and then I couldn't get it because it was
in this place and I so I had to cancel
the vet appointment. He was like, you know, you blew it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Get your chance.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
You had your chance and you messed it up. You
goofed it up because he had to come home to
help me in whatever. I mean, it was like that,
we'll fight about the cat and that's your kid. Yeah,
and who ate the trisk gets or who ate the cookies?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
What is TikTok saying though? People fight about that?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
TikTok says about people fight about bed times, right, like
I want to go to bed, you don't want to
go to bed?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I mean I can't maybe disagreeing on the time but that's.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Not a fight.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
How about this one. This one's my favorite. Folding the
towels wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, my wife hates when I foold the towels wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
They don't fit in the drawer then, or they don't
fit in the cabinet right right now.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's a certain way. She likes it, and I try
to do it, but I don't always nail it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But but you try at least.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I do try. I do try.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think you get seventy for trying.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Does that bother you, Kristen when your husband does the
towels wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's why I do the launche, the only one that
her reason?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
What else is on the list? I want to know?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Let's see, Oh, somebody's eating sweets or eating you know,
sweet stuff, and the other person's not brings it in
the house. We fight about that. Actually annoying.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, my wife will bust me if she'll look in
the trash can if she's throwing out something. Yeah, she'll
look in the trash can and go what else is
in there? Oh? You had a TwixT high pitched.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, she's worried about you.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, she's making sure I'm healthy. Yeah, Kristen told me,
you've done that too.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I have shown that garbage. I've went not on purpose.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're not going through the garbage, but you just happen
to be throwing away.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Something exactly, and all of a sudden there's a candy
wrapper on the top. I know I didn't get it,
and my kids can't reach it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So yeah, Mark will have like a Wendy's bag shoved
in there. I know he's trying to hide.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That stuff, but you're looking out for him making it well.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
