Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christine, producer Christen hanging out with you. You know, I
say this every single year that we're on the air
during September eleventh. We want to try to do a
regular show today and be our wacky self, but we're
going to keep in mind the sensitivity of the day, yeah,
and the whole never forget mentality, because today it was
a tough day twenty four years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Absolutely, yes, we are as we said, we will always remember.
We will always honor those who were lost, their families,
their loved ones, the people who were are still trying
to heal.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You know, it seems like last week, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's just for us, it does yeah, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So anyway, keep that in mind all morning long. You know,
we may chuckle every now and then about a topic
that we're talking about, but it's in the back of
our mind what today is. Yeah and so, and we're
going to of course acknowledge the important times later in
the show, will pause for those moments, but for the
most part, we remember. But we also try to have
(01:03):
a regular show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
And we want to be here for you so exactly
you let us know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, on that note, Christine, Yes, how was your
evening last night. What was for dinner?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, oh gosh, I'm sorry, I'm just remembering. It was
not good.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It was not good. Well, I hope you had a
TV dinner because yesterday was National TV Dinner Day. We
were talking about Swanson and the TV dinner is back
in the fifties.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I wish I had a Swanson dinner, do you know?
I tell you a lot like if Eric's working, I
kind of don't go to too much trouble with dinner.
So this was one of those prepared guys that you
can get at a supermarket, and it said it was
made in a plant based dish and that you could
just pop it in the microwave. So I put it
in the microwave and I started to eat it, and
(01:51):
this whole layer of plastic started lifting off of it,
and I thought, oh no, am I consuming plastic? Like
I got really upset, and I was like, that's it,
and I just I hate to waste food.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Threw the dinner out. I was done.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Well, maybe you're not wasting food. There's probably plastic in
that food.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I didn't want to ingest that. Yeah, be as careful
as it can. So I had an apple It is
a very long story to get to. My dinner was
an apple. How was yours?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, well, Cocoa made tremendous pasta with a little cheese
on top. It was very, very good and I had
two helpings.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And how about you, producer, Kristen, were you doing what
my wife was doing making a meal for me and
herself and for the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, Wednesdays is pizza night at my house, so we
had pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Oh is that the only time of the week you
do pizza because we do pizza Fridays.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, normally we used to do Fridays, but Jagger has
a late activity on Wednesdays, so it's just easier to
pick up a pie of pizza, you know, come home right?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That sounds nice.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And by the way, are the kids picky with their pizza?
Because Miles only does cheese and sometimes we'll even take
off the cheese and Naomi loves like that much everything.
But what about your kids? They picky with the pizza?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
They eat pepperoni. They like pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
See my Naomi would be like, this is spicy when
it's not that spicy, but they eat pepperoni. Your kids,
that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, at some point Coby.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Right, at some point, they will, they will, they will evolve.
We got three pretty cool things coming up next. We
are here for you. Let us know what you're up to.
You can text us at four four three six three
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Covey and Christine in the morning. More next on one
O six point seven Light found it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know if this is cool, Christine, but it's
interesting and it's something you should know. Ever, wonder how
that giant bag of chips is empty by the end
of a movie. If you're watching a movie from home.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a mystery.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
A study at the University of Sussex found that if
you're a snacker and you have a hard time realizing
that you're full, it's because your brain is more locked
in on what you're watching and so you just keep
going and it's less able to tell you when to
stop eating. Uh oh, so that's why you're more likely
to finish that pint of ice cream or finish those chips.
(04:07):
If you're really involved.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
In something, you're not getting your signals correct. Okay, it's
Netflix faults.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Blame best, thank you, Christine. Anything you're watching. Blame it
on that, all right? What is your cool thing?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, Keby, you know, fashion Week just got underway here
in New York City, first time ever that Goodwill has
people up on the runway. Love that they're going to
show twenty runway ready ensembles made entirely from garments that
have been sourced from their shop Goodwill stores, Chopgodwill dot Com.
They're putting together these outfits. They say they want to
(04:41):
raise awareness that sustainable fashion is in.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
My wife and I were a good Will yesterday, were
you guys?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Good stuff thrifting is like so in right now we're cool. Yeah, yeah,
you're on top of it. So yeah, good to see
Goodwill walking the walking the runway.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That is very cool, all right, Producer Kristin, what do
you have?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So? Starting tomorrow Dunkin Donuts, they're offering a free, reusable
Sabrina Carpenter cup with the purchase of any day Dreamer refresher.
So that's like her signature drink at Dunkin Donuts. It
features a sweet strawberry and dragon fruit flavor, creamy oat milk,
and a topping of cold foam. So it's supposed to
have like a strawberries and cream taste, so that all
(05:23):
starts tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
All right, freeze nice for me? Yeah, three pretty cool
things right here on light FM.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
More Covey and Christine and a great music variety you
expect next on light F them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm going to run some errands today. Will you go
with me?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Keep your company.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's a true friend, right, sure, that's true friends.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We can do, ok sit in the car, yes, well
get run in okay, one of those friends. Yeah, this
is this is crepping up on TikTok pretty fast. That
when we would be known as your errand.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Friend, Okay, an air and friend.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
People are asking, do you have an errand friend that's
special companion who will help you tackle mundane items on
your to do list, folding laundry, hitting up old foods,
going to the post office. But you love spending time
with them, so it makes the time go quicker.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
This is almost as bad as asking a friend.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
To move, Like, yeah, it could be up there with that,
But I if they do exist, I should like to
advertise for one, I could use an erran friend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I think maybe my sister in law, Barbera comes the closest.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Okay, like we'll we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Run errands together.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right, shit chat yep, catch up on catch up? Yes,
listen to light FMS.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
She will also do the say it's the post office
and there's like hardly any parking, and you can just
park for a minute. I'll sit in the car, you'll
run in.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's helpful.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
There's your errand friends.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Right, here's the problem I have. I do all the
errands for my wife. You know, she needs things mailed
and all that because she has a side hustle going on. Yeah,
and I mail all her things all by myself. So
not only am I doing the work that she needs done,
but I'm going alone. So wow, I should start telling
Coco that I need an Aeron friend because I shouldn't
(07:07):
be going solo.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Right. Well, it's nice if you have company, makes it
a little easier, right.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Kristin, do you have an Aaron friend?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I actually like traveling by myself. I like the quiet time.
So I'm okay, I don't need an errand friend.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They kind to think of it. With all the kids
and you know, we're always talking on the radio and
then on and off the air, I need some peace
and quiet.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Oh, so, Kristin and I should take the day off them.
We don't have to run errands with you. We're good.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I just fired you, Okay, I was gonna hire you.
Guys both are.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Out more Covey and Christine and a great music variety
you expect next on Light at.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Them six fifty Thursday, September eleventh, Covey and Christine in
the morning. Producer Kristin and I mentioned this at the
beginning of the show. You know, we're we're remembering today
and we're still trying to do our normal show, but
also keep it in mind the sensitivity of the day,
and we'll be acknowledging those crucial moments later in the
show on a much lighter note, Christine, can we talk
(08:03):
about this guy that gave money for fries? Well, I
don't know the whole story, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So Reddit is always an interesting place to go and
can be fun to see the discussions that take place there.
So a woman is sharing a first date that she
went on where she said she got a burger and
fries and shared it with the guy. He's the one
who asked her around on the date and she said, hey,
I'll cover the tip since you're getting the check. He said, okay,
(08:30):
She said the next morning, she gets up, there's a
venmo request for three dollars and twenty five cents with
the note half the fries.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Hey, look, guy's honest and he's by the book and
he's down to the numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She said she thought it was a joke and texted
him and he said, no, he felt like she was
overreacting and said, this is about fairness and this is
just how it is that he feels. She owes him
for half the fries, three dollars and twenty five cents.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now, we don't know if this date is gonna like
if they're going to continue dating or anything. Right, we
don't know how the date went.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh no, she said that was a big bread flag
and she she wants out after that point.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't know why. I don't see it that bad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, because again it's a reddit thing, so people are
going back and forth and some are on your side, covey,
and going, what's the big deal?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I mean, you're definitely Why didn't he ask in the
first place?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And she covered like at the date, yes, right, like
he thought its as though he went home and he.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thought about it, like you feel guilty about it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, he thought about that. She ate a lot of
those fries. You know what, I want three dollars and
twenty five cents for those French fries.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, she covered the tip. I need to clar thank
you for saying the check. Okay, like, let it go.
I see what you're saying. Yeah, all right, I saw
it as he was kind of giving. He thought he
ate three dollars and twenty five cents worth of fries
and he sent it to her.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, he's asking her.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
He's asking her.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
For three dollars and twenty five cents towards the fries
that they.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Split because he's in a Venmo request. Yes, okay, that's
where I missed it. I thought he vennoed her three dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Between years he said to request.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I thought he was being the guy that was okay,
now you flipped it. Now I get it. Now I
don't like him.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Okay, you're good, right, No good. He's actually asking for
that money back. And when she said are you kidding,
he was like no and accused her of overreacting.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's hilarious. Yeah all right, So now I'm no longer
on his side.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, I think they shouldn't. I would say no to
the second date on that one too, right.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Your thoughts four four, three, six three hit us up
on text.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Next on Light at Them Covey and Christine in the
morning producer Christine. We're all together. So let me think
here a seventh grader. You know, it's back to school time.
Some people are a week into it. A typical seventh
grader is about twelve thirteen years old.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, yeah, what did they think of Do they think
of us?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
What do they think of us?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is so cute. This is a seventh grade teacher,
Shane Shane Frakes, who likes to pull his students and
share their opinions. So in their latest poll, he asked
his students, what do you think of a forty year old?
What do forty year olds do for fun? Here's what
they think we do for fun, Covey. We count coupons, okay,
(11:21):
We go on Facebook. Okay, go and buy home decorps. Okay,
not so far off there by, so far they're not wrong.
We say no to anything they ask for. Your seventh
grader thinks you just say no. Take take medicine on
a daily basis, play golf, knit, go on Facebook, watch
(11:44):
TV in black and white.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's yeah, well and knitting in that so far the
two wrong ones.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And playwordle. Okay, that's what they think forty year olds
do for fun like eighty.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
For me, like again, I don't knit and I don't
watch black of my TV. But for the most part, yeah,
I take meds and Facebook.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You don't think they're perceiving forty as like eighty, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Or remember when we were like that age, we thought
forty was ancient and then oh yeah you got here
in boom.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And not at all. It's still young.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Producer Christen, what are you thinking as you hear this, Well,
I think at least half of these kids their parents
are probably around forty, maybe a couple years older.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So their perspective is what do they see their parents do?
And I know when I was twelve years old, I
thought my parents were old, even though they weren't at
the time. But you know, I think it's what they're
seeing their parents do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's just so funny to me that the perception of
you know, at forty, it sounds like, you know, just
sit in your chair and play a wordle and two eight.
That's all you can do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Now, seventh graders, You'll know in some time it's really
not that bad.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
More Cubby and Christine in the morning. Just ahead on
one was six point seven Light at Them More Cubby
and Christine and the great music variety you expect. Next
on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What I was six point seven Light FM, Cubby and
Christine and producer Kristin. So you know, we love talking
about organization. But there's something about the fact that it's September, yeah,
that this story kind of.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Hits a little start over. It seems like organizers love September.
You know how you do a spring cleaning, uh.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Huh, they like a fall clean fall cleaning.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yes, So this is a professional organizer. Her name is
Denise Jones, and she says, here's what I do. So
if you want to take a cue from Shenise. First
thing she does refresh the closets, so you know we're
gonna switch over the wardrobe, get rid of the stuff
you haven't worn over the summer, and purge the kids rooms.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't do any of it really. My wife is
always just on the ground going through stuff that because
they grow out of thing so quick and yeah, that's
all another story.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So you got to handle the home maintenance tasks, she said,
things that you might have been putting off, like organizing
garages and getting supplies and tools get ready for the winter. Also,
organize the pantry. Eliminate any piles around the house. Maybe
you've got travel bags, you have stuff from the summer
right kind of piled up that's got to go. Set
up a command center for you and Kristin. Create a
(14:21):
dedicated spot for all the kids' forums, permission slips, and
activity schedules, so you're not searching for them at the
last minute.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Here that as parents, we have to have a command center.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I'm already behind then okay, no pressure, right. And
the last thing she says is to now, now is
the time to assess your holiday decorps. What if you
got what's old that's going to go? What do you
want to get? And she said, do you need to
start planning your holiday gifts?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh well yeah, there's that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Want to get ahead of it now. I will tell you, Kaby.
I got a red alert from my sister in law,
Barbara yesterday, who was in her favorite hobby lobby, who
said to me, you need to get over here now.
Christmas decorations are fifty percent off and people are buying
them like crazy. That's how I hear. It's actually the
text to the tone.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah to me, Yes, that's great though, fifty percent off
in September. You would think it'd be normal price because
you're leading up to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I guess like we're already. These folks are already
done with Halloween. They're moving on to Christmas, and it's
bargain time for Christmas, and then right it'll go up.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's it, you know, I give up. I want Halloween
decorations on the yard. I want Christmas decorations. Put it
all out today, throw.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It out there christ And where are you at on
this flow chart here of organizing for the holidays?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh well, the holidays. I actually started Christmas shopping already.
I actually start Labor Day because you don't have to
buy toys and stuff for the kids, and then you
know family. I have nieces and nephews and all of that.
So I try to be ahead of it, and to
be honest with you, you our tup aware of our
Halloween decorations are already out. I just haven't set up
the decorations yet I.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Think you're good.

the sample, dubbed Sapphire Canyon, appears to contain evidence of
past microbial life on the red planet. NASA said the
only way to confirm the findings is to return that
rock here to Earth. Take a closer look.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I love that kind of stuff. I know, I love it.
We're going to go there one day, ay wait.
Speaker 2 (21:24):

Commanders play the Packers eight fifteen tonight. And the traits
that are so important to a solid, happy marriage. These
are the five muss according.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
To the experts, five of them.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
There's five of them. We have to pass these Testscubby
trust is number one. All right, time spent talking together,
laughing and having fun, then there's compatibility, the ability to
fight fair and forgiveness. All right, we can do these things.
Check off all I think we do them.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, I think you do too. All right, thank you? Christine.
Your weather today, sunshine and a high of eighty. It's
sixty three right now, so could be considered chilly, but
it really warms up later on. So if you have
a sweatshirt on, you'll be taking that off a little
bit later. Want us six point seven light FM, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you
expect next on light FM.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Want to six point seven Light FM, Cubby and Christine.
Producer Christen eight nine on this Thursday, September eleventh. You know,
always a day that we try to do the normal
show that we do. Yes, keep what happened twenty four
years ago today in mind.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's so completely in our hearts and just in our beings,
you know it really is.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, thinking about so many things right now. We will
acknowledge those key times coming up later on Hey real
quick producer Christen, if you don't mind, you're working from
home today, So if she sounds a little different, that's why.
But I just saw you posted on Instagram producer Christen
by the way, you must follow her, And it's a
(23:02):
picture of your dad and another person that maybe you
can tell me about. And your caption is our hero,
we love you Dad, and it's from ground zero and
you just posted it. So what can you tell us
about this picture?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yes, so, my dad he's a retired Port Authority detective
and at the time, on September eleventh, he was working
in Jersey City when it happened. He went into the
city with his partner to you know, help out, because
you know, no one knew what was really going on, right,
(23:36):
so their police van was parked across from the buildings.
He was there when the towers came down. At the time,
I was in high school. I was a freshman, and
in school they let us know what was going on.
They let us watch it on TV in our homerooms.
Every so often a student, you know, would be called
down to the office and sent home pretty much, so
(24:00):
at one point everyone was picked up and I remember
not knowing where my dad was, you know, it happened
to him. You know, everything was still very confusing, so
it took a while to hear if he was okay
and his whereabouts, but he was alive. And when we
did finally see him and he finally made it home,
(24:22):
I remember standing. I remember standing at the front door
with my mom and my brothers, and you know, on
the other side was my dad. He was still in
his uniform. Sorry, guys, you know, Christ so very hard,
very hard to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It's got to be. It sounds like it just had
to be so scary for you and your your family
when you didn't know, and then to see him again.
I can't imagine the wave of relief that you.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Felt, absolutely absolutely relief, you know, and also very scary.
I mean, it's it's an image that is forever embedded
in my brain. You know, he looked at the ghosts,
he was covered in debreathe and you know, in your
head and in my head at the time, I felt
like we were standing there looking at him for hours,
(25:14):
when you know, obviously in reality it was only probably
you know, a couple of minutes, right exactly. So you know,
after a little while he returned to Ground zero. He
was part of the recovery and the cleanup for a
very long time. You know, my family and I we've
(25:36):
we've seen my dad go through hell essentially, but he
was amazing at his job, a very respected police officer
and detective, which is what he retired as. And yet
he still came home every day, you know, loved his
(25:57):
family and whatever it effect it had on him, he
never let at least his kids see it. He always
came home, always smile, and always wanted to play with us.
You know, my brothers are younger than me, so I
call him our hero for always putting his family first,
his friends, his brothers and sisters in blue. We love
(26:20):
him and he's very well deserving of the retirement that
he's in right now. So today he's actually attending you know,
different memorials and masses to pay his respect.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, do us a favor and like hug him a
few times, Yes, just from us, if.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You can, please give him our love, all our respect,
all our gratitude. Your dad, his colleagues, all the first responders.
We were talking about the sanitation department who went in
there right after September eleventh and have been cleaning up
a bit. There's just so many people I feel we
need to think that we can't express it. Enough, how
(26:56):
grateful we are, and what a true hero your dad is,
your mom and your family because you were there supporting
him through this. I know you're very young, Kristin, but
I'm sure his love and the love of his family
is one of the things that kept him going and
and has just been everything to him and to you.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Thank you, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
All right, Kristin, we love you, and we'll get the
on a lighter note, get the music ready. Three hours
commercial free coming up next on light FM.
Christine, producer Christen hanging out with you. You know, I
say this every single year that we're on the air
during September eleventh. We want to try to do a
regular show today and be our wacky self, but we're
going to keep in mind the sensitivity of the day, yeah,
and the whole never forget mentality, because today it was
a tough day twenty four years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Absolutely, yes, we are as we said, we will always remember.
We will always honor those who were lost, their families,
their loved ones, the people who were are still trying
to heal.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You know, it seems like last week, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's just for us, it does yeah, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So anyway, keep that in mind all morning long. You know,
we may chuckle every now and then about a topic
that we're talking about, but it's in the back of
our mind what today is. Yeah and so, and we're
going to of course acknowledge the important times later in
the show, will pause for those moments, but for the
most part, we remember. But we also try to have
(01:03):
a regular show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
And we want to be here for you so exactly
you let us know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, on that note, Christine, Yes, how was your
evening last night. What was for dinner?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, oh gosh, I'm sorry, I'm just remembering. It was
not good.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It was not good. Well, I hope you had a
TV dinner because yesterday was National TV Dinner Day. We
were talking about Swanson and the TV dinner is back
in the fifties.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I wish I had a Swanson dinner, do you know?
I tell you a lot like if Eric's working, I
kind of don't go to too much trouble with dinner.
So this was one of those prepared guys that you
can get at a supermarket, and it said it was
made in a plant based dish and that you could
just pop it in the microwave. So I put it
in the microwave and I started to eat it, and
(01:51):
this whole layer of plastic started lifting off of it,
and I thought, oh no, am I consuming plastic? Like
I got really upset, and I was like, that's it,
and I just I hate to waste food.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Threw the dinner out. I was done.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Well, maybe you're not wasting food. There's probably plastic in
that food.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I didn't want to ingest that. Yeah, be as careful
as it can. So I had an apple It is
a very long story to get to. My dinner was
an apple. How was yours?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, well, Cocoa made tremendous pasta with a little cheese
on top. It was very, very good and I had
two helpings.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And how about you, producer, Kristen, were you doing what
my wife was doing making a meal for me and
herself and for the kids.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, Wednesdays is pizza night at my house, so we
had pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Oh is that the only time of the week you
do pizza because we do pizza Fridays.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, normally we used to do Fridays, but Jagger has
a late activity on Wednesdays, so it's just easier to
pick up a pie of pizza, you know, come home right?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That sounds nice.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And by the way, are the kids picky with their pizza?
Because Miles only does cheese and sometimes we'll even take
off the cheese and Naomi loves like that much everything.
But what about your kids? They picky with the pizza?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
They eat pepperoni. They like pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
See my Naomi would be like, this is spicy when
it's not that spicy, but they eat pepperoni. Your kids,
that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, at some point Coby.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Right, at some point, they will, they will, they will evolve.
We got three pretty cool things coming up next. We
are here for you. Let us know what you're up to.
You can text us at four four three six three
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Covey and Christine in the morning. More next on one
O six point seven Light found it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's three pretty cool things you need to know.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know if this is cool, Christine, but it's
interesting and it's something you should know. Ever, wonder how
that giant bag of chips is empty by the end
of a movie. If you're watching a movie from home.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a mystery.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
A study at the University of Sussex found that if
you're a snacker and you have a hard time realizing
that you're full, it's because your brain is more locked
in on what you're watching and so you just keep
going and it's less able to tell you when to
stop eating. Uh oh, so that's why you're more likely
to finish that pint of ice cream or finish those chips.
(04:07):
If you're really involved.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
In something, you're not getting your signals correct. Okay, it's
Netflix faults.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Blame best, thank you, Christine. Anything you're watching. Blame it
on that, all right? What is your cool thing?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, Keby, you know, fashion Week just got underway here
in New York City, first time ever that Goodwill has
people up on the runway. Love that they're going to
show twenty runway ready ensembles made entirely from garments that
have been sourced from their shop Goodwill stores, Chopgodwill dot Com.
They're putting together these outfits. They say they want to
(04:41):
raise awareness that sustainable fashion is in.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
My wife and I were a good Will yesterday, were
you guys?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Good stuff thrifting is like so in right now we're cool. Yeah, yeah,
you're on top of it. So yeah, good to see
Goodwill walking the walking the runway.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That is very cool, all right, Producer Kristin, what do
you have?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So? Starting tomorrow Dunkin Donuts, they're offering a free, reusable
Sabrina Carpenter cup with the purchase of any day Dreamer refresher.
So that's like her signature drink at Dunkin Donuts. It
features a sweet strawberry and dragon fruit flavor, creamy oat milk,
and a topping of cold foam. So it's supposed to
have like a strawberries and cream taste, so that all
(05:23):
starts tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
All right, freeze nice for me? Yeah, three pretty cool
things right here on light FM.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
More Covey and Christine and a great music variety you
expect next on light F them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm going to run some errands today. Will you go
with me?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Keep your company.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's a true friend, right, sure, that's true friends.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We can do, ok sit in the car, yes, well
get run in okay, one of those friends. Yeah, this
is this is crepping up on TikTok pretty fast. That
when we would be known as your errand.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Friend, Okay, an air and friend.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
People are asking, do you have an errand friend that's
special companion who will help you tackle mundane items on
your to do list, folding laundry, hitting up old foods,
going to the post office. But you love spending time
with them, so it makes the time go quicker.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
This is almost as bad as asking a friend.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
To move, Like, yeah, it could be up there with that,
But I if they do exist, I should like to
advertise for one, I could use an erran friend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I think maybe my sister in law, Barbera comes the closest.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Okay, like we'll we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Run errands together.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right, shit chat yep, catch up on catch up? Yes,
listen to light FMS.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
She will also do the say it's the post office
and there's like hardly any parking, and you can just
park for a minute. I'll sit in the car, you'll
run in.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's helpful.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
There's your errand friends.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Right, here's the problem I have. I do all the
errands for my wife. You know, she needs things mailed
and all that because she has a side hustle going on. Yeah,
and I mail all her things all by myself. So
not only am I doing the work that she needs done,
but I'm going alone. So wow, I should start telling
Coco that I need an Aeron friend because I shouldn't
(07:07):
be going solo.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Right. Well, it's nice if you have company, makes it
a little easier, right.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Kristin, do you have an Aaron friend?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I actually like traveling by myself. I like the quiet time.
So I'm okay, I don't need an errand friend.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They kind to think of it. With all the kids
and you know, we're always talking on the radio and
then on and off the air, I need some peace
and quiet.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Oh, so, Kristin and I should take the day off them.
We don't have to run errands with you. We're good.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I just fired you, Okay, I was gonna hire you.
Guys both are.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Out more Covey and Christine and a great music variety
you expect next on Light at.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Them six fifty Thursday, September eleventh, Covey and Christine in
the morning. Producer Kristin and I mentioned this at the
beginning of the show. You know, we're we're remembering today
and we're still trying to do our normal show, but
also keep it in mind the sensitivity of the day,
and we'll be acknowledging those crucial moments later in the
show on a much lighter note, Christine, can we talk
(08:03):
about this guy that gave money for fries? Well, I
don't know the whole story, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So Reddit is always an interesting place to go and
can be fun to see the discussions that take place there.
So a woman is sharing a first date that she
went on where she said she got a burger and
fries and shared it with the guy. He's the one
who asked her around on the date and she said, hey,
I'll cover the tip since you're getting the check. He said, okay,
(08:30):
She said the next morning, she gets up, there's a
venmo request for three dollars and twenty five cents with
the note half the fries.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Hey, look, guy's honest and he's by the book and
he's down to the numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She said she thought it was a joke and texted
him and he said, no, he felt like she was
overreacting and said, this is about fairness and this is
just how it is that he feels. She owes him
for half the fries, three dollars and twenty five cents.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now, we don't know if this date is gonna like
if they're going to continue dating or anything. Right, we
don't know how the date went.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh no, she said that was a big bread flag
and she she wants out after that point.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't know why. I don't see it that bad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, because again it's a reddit thing, so people are
going back and forth and some are on your side, covey,
and going, what's the big deal?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I mean, you're definitely Why didn't he ask in the
first place?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And she covered like at the date, yes, right, like
he thought its as though he went home and he.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thought about it, like you feel guilty about it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, he thought about that. She ate a lot of
those fries. You know what, I want three dollars and
twenty five cents for those French fries.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, she covered the tip. I need to clar thank
you for saying the check. Okay, like, let it go.
I see what you're saying. Yeah, all right, I saw
it as he was kind of giving. He thought he
ate three dollars and twenty five cents worth of fries
and he sent it to her.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, he's asking her.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
He's asking her.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
For three dollars and twenty five cents towards the fries
that they.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Split because he's in a Venmo request. Yes, okay, that's
where I missed it. I thought he vennoed her three dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Between years he said to request.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I thought he was being the guy that was okay,
now you flipped it. Now I get it. Now I
don't like him.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Okay, you're good, right, No good. He's actually asking for
that money back. And when she said are you kidding,
he was like no and accused her of overreacting.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's hilarious. Yeah all right, So now I'm no longer
on his side.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, I think they shouldn't. I would say no to
the second date on that one too, right.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Your thoughts four four, three, six three hit us up
on text.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Next on Light at Them Covey and Christine in the
morning producer Christine. We're all together. So let me think
here a seventh grader. You know, it's back to school time.
Some people are a week into it. A typical seventh
grader is about twelve thirteen years old.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, yeah, what did they think of Do they think
of us?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
What do they think of us?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is so cute. This is a seventh grade teacher,
Shane Shane Frakes, who likes to pull his students and
share their opinions. So in their latest poll, he asked
his students, what do you think of a forty year old?
What do forty year olds do for fun? Here's what
they think we do for fun, Covey. We count coupons, okay,
(11:21):
We go on Facebook. Okay, go and buy home decorps. Okay,
not so far off there by, so far they're not wrong.
We say no to anything they ask for. Your seventh
grader thinks you just say no. Take take medicine on
a daily basis, play golf, knit, go on Facebook, watch
(11:44):
TV in black and white.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's yeah, well and knitting in that so far the
two wrong ones.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And playwordle. Okay, that's what they think forty year olds
do for fun like eighty.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
For me, like again, I don't knit and I don't
watch black of my TV. But for the most part, yeah,
I take meds and Facebook.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You don't think they're perceiving forty as like eighty, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Or remember when we were like that age, we thought
forty was ancient and then oh yeah you got here
in boom.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And not at all. It's still young.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Producer Christen, what are you thinking as you hear this, Well,
I think at least half of these kids their parents
are probably around forty, maybe a couple years older.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So their perspective is what do they see their parents do?
And I know when I was twelve years old, I
thought my parents were old, even though they weren't at
the time. But you know, I think it's what they're
seeing their parents do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's just so funny to me that the perception of
you know, at forty, it sounds like, you know, just
sit in your chair and play a wordle and two eight.
That's all you can do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Now, seventh graders, You'll know in some time it's really
not that bad.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
More Cubby and Christine in the morning. Just ahead on
one was six point seven Light at Them More Cubby
and Christine and the great music variety you expect. Next
on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What I was six point seven Light FM, Cubby and
Christine and producer Kristin. So you know, we love talking
about organization. But there's something about the fact that it's September, yeah,
that this story kind of.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Hits a little start over. It seems like organizers love September.
You know how you do a spring cleaning, uh.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Huh, they like a fall clean fall cleaning.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yes, So this is a professional organizer. Her name is
Denise Jones, and she says, here's what I do. So
if you want to take a cue from Shenise. First
thing she does refresh the closets, so you know we're
gonna switch over the wardrobe, get rid of the stuff
you haven't worn over the summer, and purge the kids rooms.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't do any of it really. My wife is
always just on the ground going through stuff that because
they grow out of thing so quick and yeah, that's
all another story.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So you got to handle the home maintenance tasks, she said,
things that you might have been putting off, like organizing
garages and getting supplies and tools get ready for the winter. Also,
organize the pantry. Eliminate any piles around the house. Maybe
you've got travel bags, you have stuff from the summer
right kind of piled up that's got to go. Set
up a command center for you and Kristin. Create a
(14:21):
dedicated spot for all the kids' forums, permission slips, and
activity schedules, so you're not searching for them at the
last minute.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Here that as parents, we have to have a command center.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I'm already behind then okay, no pressure, right. And
the last thing she says is to now, now is
the time to assess your holiday decorps. What if you
got what's old that's going to go? What do you
want to get? And she said, do you need to
start planning your holiday gifts?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh well yeah, there's that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Want to get ahead of it now. I will tell you, Kaby.
I got a red alert from my sister in law,
Barbara yesterday, who was in her favorite hobby lobby, who
said to me, you need to get over here now.
Christmas decorations are fifty percent off and people are buying
them like crazy. That's how I hear. It's actually the
text to the tone.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah to me, Yes, that's great though, fifty percent off
in September. You would think it'd be normal price because
you're leading up to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I guess like we're already. These folks are already
done with Halloween. They're moving on to Christmas, and it's
bargain time for Christmas, and then right it'll go up.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's it, you know, I give up. I want Halloween
decorations on the yard. I want Christmas decorations. Put it
all out today, throw.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It out there christ And where are you at on
this flow chart here of organizing for the holidays?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh well, the holidays. I actually started Christmas shopping already.
I actually start Labor Day because you don't have to
buy toys and stuff for the kids, and then you
know family. I have nieces and nephews and all of that.
So I try to be ahead of it, and to
be honest with you, you our tup aware of our
Halloween decorations are already out. I just haven't set up
the decorations yet I.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Think you're good.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I feel like you're late on holloween decorations.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What Covy?
Speaker 1 (16:05):

Producer Christen eight nine on this Thursday, September eleventh. You know,
always a day that we try to do the normal
show that we do. Yes, keep what happened twenty four
years ago today in mind.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's so completely in our hearts and just in our beings,
you know it really is.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, thinking about so many things right now. We will
acknowledge those key times coming up later on Hey real
quick producer Christen, if you don't mind, you're working from
home today, So if she sounds a little different, that's why.
But I just saw you posted on Instagram producer Christen
by the way, you must follow her, And it's a
(23:02):
picture of your dad and another person that maybe you
can tell me about. And your caption is our hero,
we love you Dad, and it's from ground zero and
you just posted it. So what can you tell us
about this picture?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yes, so, my dad he's a retired Port Authority detective
and at the time, on September eleventh, he was working
in Jersey City when it happened. He went into the
city with his partner to you know, help out, because
you know, no one knew what was really going on, right,
(23:36):
so their police van was parked across from the buildings.
He was there when the towers came down. At the time,
I was in high school. I was a freshman, and
in school they let us know what was going on.
They let us watch it on TV in our homerooms.
Every so often a student, you know, would be called
down to the office and sent home pretty much, so
(24:00):
at one point everyone was picked up and I remember
not knowing where my dad was, you know, it happened
to him. You know, everything was still very confusing, so
it took a while to hear if he was okay
and his whereabouts, but he was alive. And when we
did finally see him and he finally made it home,
(24:22):
I remember standing. I remember standing at the front door
with my mom and my brothers, and you know, on
the other side was my dad. He was still in
his uniform. Sorry, guys, you know, Christ so very hard,
very hard to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It's got to be. It sounds like it just had
to be so scary for you and your your family
when you didn't know, and then to see him again.
I can't imagine the wave of relief that you.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Felt, absolutely absolutely relief, you know, and also very scary.
I mean, it's it's an image that is forever embedded
in my brain. You know, he looked at the ghosts,
he was covered in debreathe and you know, in your
head and in my head at the time, I felt
like we were standing there looking at him for hours,
(25:14):
when you know, obviously in reality it was only probably
you know, a couple of minutes, right exactly. So you know,
after a little while he returned to Ground zero. He
was part of the recovery and the cleanup for a
very long time. You know, my family and I we've
(25:36):
we've seen my dad go through hell essentially, but he
was amazing at his job, a very respected police officer
and detective, which is what he retired as. And yet
he still came home every day, you know, loved his
(25:57):
family and whatever it effect it had on him, he
never let at least his kids see it. He always
came home, always smile, and always wanted to play with us.
You know, my brothers are younger than me, so I
call him our hero for always putting his family first,
his friends, his brothers and sisters in blue. We love
(26:20):
him and he's very well deserving of the retirement that
he's in right now. So today he's actually attending you know,
different memorials and masses to pay his respect.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, do us a favor and like hug him a
few times, Yes, just from us, if.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You can, please give him our love, all our respect,
all our gratitude. Your dad, his colleagues, all the first responders.
We were talking about the sanitation department who went in
there right after September eleventh and have been cleaning up
a bit. There's just so many people I feel we
need to think that we can't express it. Enough, how
(26:56):
grateful we are, and what a true hero your dad is,
your mom and your family because you were there supporting
him through this. I know you're very young, Kristin, but
I'm sure his love and the love of his family
is one of the things that kept him going and
and has just been everything to him and to you.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Thank you, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
All right, Kristin, we love you, and we'll get the
on a lighter note, get the music ready. Three hours
commercial free coming up next on light FM.
