Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, as radio personality as Nina Del Rio, I
feel compelled to do the weather after you play a
song like that. It's a very DJ thing to do.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
They sound tight in already. Yes, just take this extra step, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
No umbrella needed today one of six point seven Light FM.
It's gonna beautiful sunshine high eighty two. We will have
some haze in the air though, because of those Canadian wildfires.
There's like a lot burning up there in Canada. Yeah,
I mean it's like a repeat of last year.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, Victor was already saying there was some fires in
New Jersey already, right, which is kind of crazy because
we had so much rain.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And we had a really bad fire about a month
ago down in South Jersey. So yeah, true, be safe
out there. More rain, I think later in the week,
but I think we have a pretty dry day and
pretty dry day to marrow.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yesterday was so perfect in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It was perfect. But you need some block, you do,
because even though the air felt great, I was on
the patio and I could feel my arms. I'm like, ooh,
I gotta do my someblock.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
See see how that works. You were at the at
the beach, you were on an island. Did you put
your sunblock on and you got home and you thought, oh,
I'm in New Jersey, I don't need it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Correct, you do. And you know what I said yesterday
on the air a few times, I said that we
put a lot of sun tannlotion on during our trip
to Cayman Islands. Yes, but Coco, my wife heard that.
She was dummy. We weren't putting sun tannlotion on. We
were putting sun block on, which I knew that, but
I don't know. I just say Suntanne lotion forcuse.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You're born in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know what your.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Hey, Happy National Egg Day. I don't know about you,
but we we go to a Trader Joe's and there
used to be a sign up at Trader joe saying
only one dozen per customer because of the egg issues.
But I didn't see that sign yesterday. So are the
egg issues better?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know. I have not been buying them. This
would be the time to have the chickens. You don't
have the chicken I know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I know we had chickens for several years.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Right before the egg problem.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Uh huh. So it's a National Egg Day it's National
Repeat Day. It's National Repeat.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Day, National Repeat Day.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It was easy and National Chocolate Macaroon Day. That's still
on this Tuesday, June third. And you know what, are
you a fan of celebrity birthdays? Because some people don't
want to hear celebrity birthdays. I kind of enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It depends on their It depends on the celebrity. And
also I used to work on a station. They used
to say, if they're over I think it was like
sixty or seventy, don't say the number of the person's age.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, they were like, it makes them look older and
you feel older. I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The oldest working model is ninety four today. Oh so
that's way over sixty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Beautiful. We don't know how to say her name. Carmen
Della Refia, Carmen.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I think you're saying it better than I would. Carmen
dell O free Jay.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Just start looking it up. She's ridiculously beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, you showed me a picture of her.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm like, oh, I know, her white hair, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Jill Biden, former First Lady, is seventy four today. Anderson
Cooper is fifty eight today. Rafael Nadal tennis player. Yep,
three times. No, he's a twenty two time Grand Slam champion.
He's thirty nine years old today. And if you're celebrating
a birthday, if we can shout you out, let us know.
June third, Yeah, give us a text four four three
(03:01):
six three. We have three pretty cool things for you
coming up next.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is very cool. This is frosty cool. Wendy's is
giving away free frosties today. Really, this is in celebration
of a fellow Midwest company, Goodyear. The Goodyear Blimp is
turning one hundred years old today. So Wendy's is giving
out free small frosties with a purchase exclusively on the
app today only, and you can pick from their new
(03:36):
selections of Frosty's as well.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That seems just like an excuse to give out free stuff,
which is cool.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Cool, I'll take it. I wonder if a Wendy's is
twenty four hours? Yeah, could you get a Frosty now?
I don't know. Is the machine on.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It'd be fantastic if you worked all night and then
you take a frosty on the way home. I mean,
that's anytime for ice cream.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Really little food for thoughts. Ye, what's your cool thing?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
If you have trouble swallowing pills? You know, sometimes you
get a big one and it's like the lean forward technique.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh not like put your neck back.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, they say it helps with by eighty nine percent
of people who try it, So basically everybody can swallow
pills better if you put the tablet on your tongue,
you take a drink of water, hold it in your mouth,
and then put your head down to swallow. It seems counterintuitive, right,
you lean forward, but that works eighty nine percent of
the time.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
All right, do that and the other eleven percent you're choking.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yes, it comes right out right.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And my final cool thing, because Kristin is off today,
the very first TV remote Nina del Ria. Oh. It
was created by Zenith in nineteen fifty wow, and they
called it lazy bones. Oh funny, that was a nickname
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Everybody has one on TV, right, Like if you watch
a show that's supposed to be in the nineteen fifties,
or sixties ahead a remote. Yep, we didn't have a
remote till Poulter geys see too like early eighties, early
eighties and it had a cord. Remember, oh yeah, you're
like fifteen, You go and be like fifteen feet away.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Have my mama trip over break her hip?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, no, go good chunk.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right. Light FM coming right back with more variety
from the eighties through today, Happy.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Tuesday, more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect. Next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You're the parent of a teenager, we have a question
for you. It's one of six pointy seven Light FM
Covey with Nina and for Christine. Producer Christien's off today.
So here we are June third, school winding down. Yes,
I know a lot of schools are not out yet,
but we're you know, getting here.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You're thinking about what you're going to do this summer
for sure, Yeah, making plans.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And a mom On TikTok, Nina huh asked a question.
It's a burning question if you have a teenager.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Question for parents of teenageures, how long are we letting
them sleep in during the summer?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Do we wake them up at all?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, that's the question. Now I have a five year
old and a three year old, I don't have to
worry about this for a while, But like, what is
the deal, Like if you have a thirteen year old
or a fourteen year old, are they sleeping till eleven am?
Or do you wake them up? Or what's the deal?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't have a kid at so I don't know either.
But you think about yourself, like when you were a teenager,
did you sleep in? And how late did you sleep in?
I did till like like noon.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well it depends like my early teenage yeers like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, maybe, yeah,
it was like sleep until eleven thirty. And then at
fifteen is when I started getting the nudge from my parents, like,
you know, you should do stuff during the day, like
maybe get your first job. They've right, I think, And
so fifteen is when I got my first like job. Yeah,
I worked at a dairy queen. Yeah, and I was
(06:31):
a bus boy too at a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
What about you? So do you remember sleeping late?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I I remember when I did sleep late. I would
sleep till like eleven, but it wasn't every day I had.
I had ballet in the summer for years and years,
which I every day ballot, six days a week, and
so you had to be up and class started at ten,
so you had if you have a thing to do
that you enjoy, that's going to make you more likely
to get up. And all these kids have camp now
they have music camp, and yeah, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
So it's up to the parents. Almost to another thing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Parents, Oh yeah, but also if they get up and
the grumpy, maybe you don't want them up. You could
get some stuff done.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right, That's what I'm thinking. One parent said, Hey, when
they're sleeping, they're not eating all the food in the house.
Fair enough, let them sleep. Another text here, two teenagers here,
they're sleeping in as long as they want so they
aren't bothering me.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's I think that's fair.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Somebody texted in, you never wake a sleeping baby, same
applies with teenagers. And somebody else said, as long as
they want to, just make sure they're alive at least
once every couple hours.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Are they breathing basically?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, right, So give us a text four four three
six three summer vacation parents, How late do you let
your teenagers sleep more.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect next.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
On light them Tina del Rio, we have so much
in common. One of six point seven light FM. It's
Covey and Christine in the morning. And I have a
lot in common with Christine. She's like a sister to me. Sure,
but you know you and I are the same age. Yes,
do you mind if I give out your age?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We're born seven weeks apart.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, so I was born June first, nineteen seventy one.
I just turned fifty four.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm July twenty seventh.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You're July twenty seventh. You'll be turning fifty four. And
I just found out that we both have lots of
pictures in our phones of labels because we're both you know,
our eyes are.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Gone, you can't see anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So there's an article I'm reading about photos that you
really should keep on your phone. Oh sure, because again,
do you take pictures of the back of a tylenol
bottle just to zoom in?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Just so you can zoom in all the time, even.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Though I have readers. Yeah, and I could probably grab
them and look, my phone's always on me, yes, I
just go click in that.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But also sometimes you take pictures because you got you're
going to go to a store, you got to order it.
You just want it. Yeah, with you never going to
remember these things, So what.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You should do is kind of put an album together
of pictures of photos you'll always kind of need on you.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I like the album idea.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
This expert says. You know, if you park somewhere, it's
always good to snap a pic of your parking space.
So you're parking garage level.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Take a picture of your printer, cartridges. Make sure you
see the refill numbers, family members, clothing sizes.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh, that's really excellent.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Have a picture of that. The measurements of your air filter. Yeah,
like you just got Central AC. Do you know your
air filter?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, I do not know it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Is it sixteen twenty four or one? Is it eighteen
j slash h I'll look it up. Travel confirmation numbers.
Always going to take a screenshot of those. Have those
on your phone.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You know what turns out I always need or need
every once in a while, you need the number of
your computer, like the VIN number of your computer. Yeah,
you know when you call Apple to get service and
it's ninety letters long and really tiny.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can zoom in on that. Yeah. Absolutely, always have
pictures of current medications. Yeah, make sure you can see
the prescription names and dosages in the photo. You could
do it for like to types of light bulbs, your
driver's license and passport and insurance cars.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Those are great if you just if you lose them.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Because if you're traveling and you lose them, yeah, you
know you can get home. Yeah, and you mentioned the
back of the computer that's recommended the model and serial
number of your car battery or tire size.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh, tire size, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Which is handy when you got to placing up.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You got to do all those things.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah. So again, you could put those in one album
and I'd have to sort through like a bunch of
other pictures.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know what. That's really useful. I don't know why
because you have to scroll back and go, Oh, I
took a picture in June when I was looking at
the flowers of the kind of fertilizer I'm using for
the thing. Put it in an album. You don't have
to go back for it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Look look at my phone right here, I have a
screenshot of some baseball stats. Because I couldn't read them.
And then the next picture is like the kids playing outside,
so it's like all over the place.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You can't find them as easily.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, totally more Cubby and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So if you drive further away to a gas station
because the gas station is cheaper than the one closer
to you, are you're really saving money? That's the burning question, right,
it's the burning question. LIGHTFM, Good morning, thank you for
having us on seven o eight. Cubby Nina is in
for Christie. Producer Christen's off today. So what do you
call this again?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Like it's like hacks to save money, but half the
time they're not.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Right. You think you're saving yeah, you think you have
a life hat going on, but really you're not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Really you're not. Like the driving across town which my
dad used to do for like fourteen cents, would drive
forty miles. I think I just want to be out
of a house. I think that's part of it too, right,
It's so DIY repairs are one of them. Two Like
you try and like fix the plumbing in your house
and you don't know what you're doing, and you end
up with a hole in the wall and you got
(11:31):
to call the plumber anyway, right right, that's one trying
to make something for cheaper than you can buy it all, right,
like peanut butter or a table or candles.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Would it'd be better just to probably.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, you buy all the ingredients and the can the
jar was like a dollar ninety eight. Uh huh right, Yeah,
everybody likes to try and make stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If. My wife has said, like you know, if we
she prefers to buy food at the grocery store and
cook it home because we save money going out.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's true. I think that's true.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
But is it though, Because sometimes I've seen that grocery bill,
I'm like, wait a minute, I know we have food
for a week.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, But it's also do you eat all the food
like people who do those meal kits like hello Fresh.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That's true. You have to eat it off, you have
to eat it all.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's like the vegetable boxes sometimes you buy from places
God love them. Yeah, these vegetable boxes with things you
don't know what they are. Sometimes that's true, that's true.
And even things like you know, growing your own food
sometimes like eggs and chickens and all these things. Maybe
it's cheaper, but then you got chickens.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right, Oh, no, you're right, because we had chickens and
we didn't pay for eggs, but we were paying for
the chickens and yeah, maintaining the coop and buying all
the those wood shavings to make sure the coop is
nice and fresh.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And are are you missing any of that?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No? I loved having chickens when we had them.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Again for the eggs, yeah, they were kind of cute.
It's kind of fun. Yeah, but I don't miss the
coop cleaning and especially in the winter time. You had
to go out there and change the water and you
had to make sure it was plugged in during the wintertimes. Yeah,
wouldn't freeze.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And yah, yeah it's been anyway. Eggs and a carton, right.
I like to buy the happiness right there? Yeah, yeah,
and just buying just bulk stuff. What's someone went's on sale?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Is everything? People?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Do?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You buy like five hundred cases of beans and they
live in your basement.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Okay if you use it though, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
If you use it, but if they sit down there
and they don't right, yeah, all right, again, these are
hacks hacks that really Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's Covey and Cristine's crazy first date.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We got Maggie on the phone. Maggie, when did your
crazy first date happen?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
So basically, it was when I was in college and
I was hanging out with this guy at a frat
party and everything, and we went back to his dorm
and you know, when everything was all said and done,
we were just like laying there and he turned to
me and was like, I hope he likes me. And
(13:59):
I was like, who, what are you talking about? And
he was like your dad And I nervously laughed because
who says that. When I realized he was serious, I
was like, oh, okay, well this is great. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
So I'm trying to understand. Do you think he meant like, hey,
we're going to be a couple, so I'm going to
get to know your parents or I don't even yeah,
or did your dad exactly?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I mean it could have been either.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
To be honest, I was.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
I was just like, I think it was kind of
to get me to stay or like to come back
another time. But I was like, oh that's creepy.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Ah, all right? So was that it did you ever
get in touch with him again?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
No? No, he's engaged now, all right, he's met somebody
else's dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I was gonna say, and who are you with?
Speaker 6 (15:02):

staying mentally sharp and physically strong later in life. Decaf
coffee and tea did not have the same effect.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
And a fun fact about you, Nina, you didn't drink
coffee really much in your life.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I'm still trying to keep it low. Just in the
last year I started drinking. I allow myself two cups
a week.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, because it gave me indigestion and the shakes and
all that stuff. But I kind of like it.

What the indigestion in this? I love that part.

Yeah, that's great.

cup for the week? Now?

OK, So when's your next cup gonna be?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Maybe tomorrow? I'll do it during the show. Ooh, so
shaking me coming in.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on Light at.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Them in about one minute. We have something to give away.
In about two minutes, we have a major announcement about
the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Oh a lot going on. It's
one of six pointy seven LIGHTFM. My name is Cobby.
You're in for Christine. Your name is Nina, Producer Kristen.
She's off today.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You got You're just like nailing it.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I'm just on fire. And no paper in front of
me or anything, no paper off the top of my head.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Now let's talk about something that I know a lot about,
because I feel like this comes up in conversation at
least every six months and it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But no one does anything about it here, but other
places they do.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
All right, so talk about it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So back in twenty fifteen in Iceland they started experimenting
with a four day work week, and all these years
later they have found that productivity has remained stable and
even increased in some industries, so they are now expanding
the four day work week. It's been a huge success.
Can we get that here? Probably never.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It sounds great and it sounds like it would work,
but I feel like it never will happen.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Help people's mental health, their work life balance, people get
along better with their coworkers. Uh huh, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You're probably more inclined to finish up your like your
tasks because you know you have to, you know, shorter,
shorter time period.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
People have to work together better because you want to
get out of there.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Right. No, I'm all for it. Now here's my question. Yeah,
would you want Monday off or Friday off?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
This is a high class problem. I would take probably Friday.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You like to be like Thursday to be your new Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Although if if you take Monday off like we had
last week or is it this week? I can't even
remember because it all runs together.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Memorial Day was last week.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, you know, all of a sudden, you're like, oh,
it's Thursday. There's like that mental thing of fekend is
right here. That's nice too.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Well, let's hope for a four day work week.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You're signing you don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I look again, I'd love it for it to happen,
but I feel like we talk about it over and
over again. It's like the daylight savings time. Haven't they
said they're going to change that last four or five years?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
They might change that an hour of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, Nina, we have your last chance to get Halsey tickets.
If your caller ten right now, one one hundred two
two two one oh six seven, you get a pair
of tickets for Halsey coming to P and C Bank
Guard Center June sixth. And that's that's Friday, I think right,
June sixth. Second, wait, today's a third.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, tomorrow is the fourth.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's Friday. Now the wheels are falling off.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Really really can't count.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You can buy tickets at livenation dot com. But Friday,
P and C Bank Guard Center, Halsey in concert you're going.
If you're caller ten right now,
You know, as radio personality as Nina Del Rio, I
feel compelled to do the weather after you play a
song like that. It's a very DJ thing to do.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
They sound tight in already. Yes, just take this extra step, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
No umbrella needed today one of six point seven Light FM.
It's gonna beautiful sunshine high eighty two. We will have
some haze in the air though, because of those Canadian wildfires.
There's like a lot burning up there in Canada. Yeah,
I mean it's like a repeat of last year.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, Victor was already saying there was some fires in
New Jersey already, right, which is kind of crazy because
we had so much rain.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And we had a really bad fire about a month
ago down in South Jersey. So yeah, true, be safe
out there. More rain, I think later in the week,
but I think we have a pretty dry day and
pretty dry day to marrow.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yesterday was so perfect in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It was perfect. But you need some block, you do,
because even though the air felt great, I was on
the patio and I could feel my arms. I'm like, ooh,
I gotta do my someblock.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
See see how that works. You were at the at
the beach, you were on an island. Did you put
your sunblock on and you got home and you thought, oh,
I'm in New Jersey, I don't need it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Correct, you do. And you know what I said yesterday
on the air a few times, I said that we
put a lot of sun tannlotion on during our trip
to Cayman Islands. Yes, but Coco, my wife heard that.
She was dummy. We weren't putting sun tannlotion on. We
were putting sun block on, which I knew that, but
I don't know. I just say Suntanne lotion forcuse.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You're born in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know what your.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Hey, Happy National Egg Day. I don't know about you,
but we we go to a Trader Joe's and there
used to be a sign up at Trader joe saying
only one dozen per customer because of the egg issues.
But I didn't see that sign yesterday. So are the
egg issues better?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know. I have not been buying them. This
would be the time to have the chickens. You don't
have the chicken I know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I know we had chickens for several years.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Right before the egg problem.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Uh huh. So it's a National Egg Day it's National
Repeat Day. It's National Repeat.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Day, National Repeat Day.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It was easy and National Chocolate Macaroon Day. That's still
on this Tuesday, June third. And you know what, are
you a fan of celebrity birthdays? Because some people don't
want to hear celebrity birthdays. I kind of enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It depends on their It depends on the celebrity. And
also I used to work on a station. They used
to say, if they're over I think it was like
sixty or seventy, don't say the number of the person's age.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, they were like, it makes them look older and
you feel older. I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The oldest working model is ninety four today. Oh so
that's way over sixty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Beautiful. We don't know how to say her name. Carmen
Della Refia, Carmen.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I think you're saying it better than I would. Carmen
dell O free Jay.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Just start looking it up. She's ridiculously beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, you showed me a picture of her.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm like, oh, I know, her white hair, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Jill Biden, former First Lady, is seventy four today. Anderson
Cooper is fifty eight today. Rafael Nadal tennis player. Yep,
three times. No, he's a twenty two time Grand Slam champion.
He's thirty nine years old today. And if you're celebrating
a birthday, if we can shout you out, let us know.
June third, Yeah, give us a text four four three
(03:01):
six three. We have three pretty cool things for you
coming up next.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is very cool. This is frosty cool. Wendy's is
giving away free frosties today. Really, this is in celebration
of a fellow Midwest company, Goodyear. The Goodyear Blimp is
turning one hundred years old today. So Wendy's is giving
out free small frosties with a purchase exclusively on the
app today only, and you can pick from their new
(03:36):
selections of Frosty's as well.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That seems just like an excuse to give out free stuff,
which is cool.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Cool, I'll take it. I wonder if a Wendy's is
twenty four hours? Yeah, could you get a Frosty now?
I don't know. Is the machine on.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It'd be fantastic if you worked all night and then
you take a frosty on the way home. I mean,
that's anytime for ice cream.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Really little food for thoughts. Ye, what's your cool thing?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
If you have trouble swallowing pills? You know, sometimes you
get a big one and it's like the lean forward technique.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh not like put your neck back.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, they say it helps with by eighty nine percent
of people who try it, So basically everybody can swallow
pills better if you put the tablet on your tongue,
you take a drink of water, hold it in your mouth,
and then put your head down to swallow. It seems counterintuitive, right,
you lean forward, but that works eighty nine percent of
the time.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
All right, do that and the other eleven percent you're choking.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yes, it comes right out right.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And my final cool thing, because Kristin is off today,
the very first TV remote Nina del Ria. Oh. It
was created by Zenith in nineteen fifty wow, and they
called it lazy bones. Oh funny, that was a nickname
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Everybody has one on TV, right, Like if you watch
a show that's supposed to be in the nineteen fifties,
or sixties ahead a remote. Yep, we didn't have a
remote till Poulter geys see too like early eighties, early
eighties and it had a cord. Remember, oh yeah, you're
like fifteen, You go and be like fifteen feet away.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Have my mama trip over break her hip?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, no, go good chunk.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right. Light FM coming right back with more variety
from the eighties through today, Happy.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Tuesday, more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect. Next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You're the parent of a teenager, we have a question
for you. It's one of six pointy seven Light FM
Covey with Nina and for Christine. Producer Christien's off today.
So here we are June third, school winding down. Yes,
I know a lot of schools are not out yet,
but we're you know, getting here.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You're thinking about what you're going to do this summer
for sure, Yeah, making plans.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And a mom On TikTok, Nina huh asked a question.
It's a burning question if you have a teenager.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Question for parents of teenageures, how long are we letting
them sleep in during the summer?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Do we wake them up at all?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, that's the question. Now I have a five year
old and a three year old, I don't have to
worry about this for a while, But like, what is
the deal, Like if you have a thirteen year old
or a fourteen year old, are they sleeping till eleven am?
Or do you wake them up? Or what's the deal?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't have a kid at so I don't know either.
But you think about yourself, like when you were a teenager,
did you sleep in? And how late did you sleep in?
I did till like like noon.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well it depends like my early teenage yeers like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, maybe, yeah,
it was like sleep until eleven thirty. And then at
fifteen is when I started getting the nudge from my parents, like,
you know, you should do stuff during the day, like
maybe get your first job. They've right, I think, And
so fifteen is when I got my first like job. Yeah,
I worked at a dairy queen. Yeah, and I was
(06:31):
a bus boy too at a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
What about you? So do you remember sleeping late?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I I remember when I did sleep late. I would
sleep till like eleven, but it wasn't every day I had.
I had ballet in the summer for years and years,
which I every day ballot, six days a week, and
so you had to be up and class started at ten,
so you had if you have a thing to do
that you enjoy, that's going to make you more likely
to get up. And all these kids have camp now
they have music camp, and yeah, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
So it's up to the parents. Almost to another thing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Parents, Oh yeah, but also if they get up and
the grumpy, maybe you don't want them up. You could
get some stuff done.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right, That's what I'm thinking. One parent said, Hey, when
they're sleeping, they're not eating all the food in the house.
Fair enough, let them sleep. Another text here, two teenagers here,
they're sleeping in as long as they want so they
aren't bothering me.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's I think that's fair.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Somebody texted in, you never wake a sleeping baby, same
applies with teenagers. And somebody else said, as long as
they want to, just make sure they're alive at least
once every couple hours.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Are they breathing basically?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, right, So give us a text four four three
six three summer vacation parents, How late do you let
your teenagers sleep more.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect next.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
On light them Tina del Rio, we have so much
in common. One of six point seven light FM. It's
Covey and Christine in the morning. And I have a
lot in common with Christine. She's like a sister to me. Sure,
but you know you and I are the same age. Yes,
do you mind if I give out your age?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We're born seven weeks apart.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, so I was born June first, nineteen seventy one.
I just turned fifty four.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm July twenty seventh.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You're July twenty seventh. You'll be turning fifty four. And
I just found out that we both have lots of
pictures in our phones of labels because we're both you know,
our eyes are.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Gone, you can't see anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So there's an article I'm reading about photos that you
really should keep on your phone. Oh sure, because again,
do you take pictures of the back of a tylenol
bottle just to zoom in?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Just so you can zoom in all the time, even.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Though I have readers. Yeah, and I could probably grab
them and look, my phone's always on me, yes, I
just go click in that.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But also sometimes you take pictures because you got you're
going to go to a store, you got to order it.
You just want it. Yeah, with you never going to
remember these things, So what.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You should do is kind of put an album together
of pictures of photos you'll always kind of need on you.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I like the album idea.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
This expert says. You know, if you park somewhere, it's
always good to snap a pic of your parking space.
So you're parking garage level.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Take a picture of your printer, cartridges. Make sure you
see the refill numbers, family members, clothing sizes.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh, that's really excellent.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Have a picture of that. The measurements of your air filter. Yeah,
like you just got Central AC. Do you know your
air filter?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, I do not know it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Is it sixteen twenty four or one? Is it eighteen
j slash h I'll look it up. Travel confirmation numbers.
Always going to take a screenshot of those. Have those
on your phone.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You know what turns out I always need or need
every once in a while, you need the number of
your computer, like the VIN number of your computer. Yeah,
you know when you call Apple to get service and
it's ninety letters long and really tiny.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can zoom in on that. Yeah. Absolutely, always have
pictures of current medications. Yeah, make sure you can see
the prescription names and dosages in the photo. You could
do it for like to types of light bulbs, your
driver's license and passport and insurance cars.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Those are great if you just if you lose them.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Because if you're traveling and you lose them, yeah, you
know you can get home. Yeah, and you mentioned the
back of the computer that's recommended the model and serial
number of your car battery or tire size.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh, tire size, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Which is handy when you got to placing up.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You got to do all those things.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah. So again, you could put those in one album
and I'd have to sort through like a bunch of
other pictures.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know what. That's really useful. I don't know why
because you have to scroll back and go, Oh, I
took a picture in June when I was looking at
the flowers of the kind of fertilizer I'm using for
the thing. Put it in an album. You don't have
to go back for it.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Look look at my phone right here, I have a
screenshot of some baseball stats. Because I couldn't read them.
And then the next picture is like the kids playing outside,
so it's like all over the place.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You can't find them as easily.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, totally more Cubby and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on light at them.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So if you drive further away to a gas station
because the gas station is cheaper than the one closer
to you, are you're really saving money? That's the burning question, right,
it's the burning question. LIGHTFM, Good morning, thank you for
having us on seven o eight. Cubby Nina is in
for Christie. Producer Christen's off today. So what do you
call this again?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Like it's like hacks to save money, but half the
time they're not.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Right. You think you're saving yeah, you think you have
a life hat going on, but really you're not.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Really you're not. Like the driving across town which my
dad used to do for like fourteen cents, would drive
forty miles. I think I just want to be out
of a house. I think that's part of it too, right,
It's so DIY repairs are one of them. Two Like
you try and like fix the plumbing in your house
and you don't know what you're doing, and you end
up with a hole in the wall and you got
(11:31):
to call the plumber anyway, right right, that's one trying
to make something for cheaper than you can buy it all, right,
like peanut butter or a table or candles.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Would it'd be better just to probably.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, you buy all the ingredients and the can the
jar was like a dollar ninety eight. Uh huh right, Yeah,
everybody likes to try and make stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If. My wife has said, like you know, if we
she prefers to buy food at the grocery store and
cook it home because we save money going out.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's true. I think that's true.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
But is it though, Because sometimes I've seen that grocery bill,
I'm like, wait a minute, I know we have food
for a week.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, But it's also do you eat all the food
like people who do those meal kits like hello Fresh.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That's true. You have to eat it off, you have
to eat it all.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's like the vegetable boxes sometimes you buy from places
God love them. Yeah, these vegetable boxes with things you
don't know what they are. Sometimes that's true, that's true.
And even things like you know, growing your own food
sometimes like eggs and chickens and all these things. Maybe
it's cheaper, but then you got chickens.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right, Oh, no, you're right, because we had chickens and
we didn't pay for eggs, but we were paying for
the chickens and yeah, maintaining the coop and buying all
the those wood shavings to make sure the coop is
nice and fresh.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And are are you missing any of that?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No? I loved having chickens when we had them.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Again for the eggs, yeah, they were kind of cute.
It's kind of fun. Yeah, but I don't miss the
coop cleaning and especially in the winter time. You had
to go out there and change the water and you
had to make sure it was plugged in during the wintertimes. Yeah,
wouldn't freeze.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And yah, yeah it's been anyway. Eggs and a carton, right.
I like to buy the happiness right there? Yeah, yeah,
and just buying just bulk stuff. What's someone went's on sale?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Is everything? People?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Do?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You buy like five hundred cases of beans and they
live in your basement.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Okay if you use it though, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
If you use it, but if they sit down there
and they don't right, yeah, all right, again, these are
hacks hacks that really Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's Covey and Cristine's crazy first date.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We got Maggie on the phone. Maggie, when did your
crazy first date happen?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
So basically, it was when I was in college and
I was hanging out with this guy at a frat
party and everything, and we went back to his dorm
and you know, when everything was all said and done,
we were just like laying there and he turned to
me and was like, I hope he likes me. And
(13:59):
I was like, who, what are you talking about? And
he was like your dad And I nervously laughed because
who says that. When I realized he was serious, I
was like, oh, okay, well this is great. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
So I'm trying to understand. Do you think he meant like, hey,
we're going to be a couple, so I'm going to
get to know your parents or I don't even yeah,
or did your dad exactly?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I mean it could have been either.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
To be honest, I was.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
I was just like, I think it was kind of
to get me to stay or like to come back
another time. But I was like, oh that's creepy.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Ah, all right? So was that it did you ever
get in touch with him again?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
No? No, he's engaged now, all right, he's met somebody
else's dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I was gonna say, and who are you with?
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Ye oh, and it's not my dad, it's not my.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right, not you?
Speaker 1 (15:07):

out of Harvard. Drinking coffee every morning was linked to
staying mentally sharp and physically strong later in life. Decaf

coffee really much in your life.

I'm still trying to keep it low. Just in the
last year I started drinking. I allow myself two cups
a week.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:48):

all that stuff. But I kind of like it.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Now let's talk about something that I know a lot about,
because I feel like this comes up in conversation at
least every six months and it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But no one does anything about it here, but other
places they do.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
All right, so talk about it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So back in twenty fifteen in Iceland they started experimenting
with a four day work week, and all these years
later they have found that productivity has remained stable and
even increased in some industries, so they are now expanding
the four day work week. It's been a huge success.
Can we get that here? Probably never.

It sounds great and it sounds like it would work,
but I feel like it never will happen.

shorter time period.

People have to work together better because you want to
get out of there.

would you want Monday off or Friday off?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
This is a high class problem. I would take probably Friday.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You like to be like Thursday to be your new Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Although if if you take Monday off like we had
last week or is it this week? I can't even
remember because it all runs together.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Memorial Day was last week.
Speaker 2 (20:39):

it's Thursday. There's like that mental thing of fekend is
right here. That's nice too.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Well, let's hope for a four day work week.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You're signing you don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I look again, I'd love it for it to happen,
but I feel like we talk about it over and
over again. It's like the daylight savings time. Haven't they
said they're going to change that last four or five years?
