Speaker 1 (00:29):
She doesn't do it. I've done a morning show before
and then caught a europe flight in the evening. And
I like working like on a day like today. Yeah,
I'm more tired for the flight.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's also save a vacation day.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Correct. Well, Christine thought she was working today, and then
around eight o'clock again yesterday morning, she goes, oh my gosh,

sure she knows. But you know, you know, and you're

Wow. Yeah, Well we're in good hands with producer Kristin.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
She's here every day.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
She's got us all prepped and ready to go. Is
it gonna be a great show today, Kristin? Or what
it is? Can you name the giveaways we have off
the top of your head? No, but you prepared me
with the giveaways? Sure. Yeah, that's why everything she did.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
She put the sports together, she got the news all
taken care of good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
She does it all. Seriously, I don't think people know
how important a producer is behind the scenes, so important
I can. I could be frozen for like a week,
and you can unthaw me and all the informations in
front of me to make me sound like I'm plugged
in when really I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You do sound you just sound pretty good?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes. For example, did you know that today is National
Adopted Shelter Pet Day. That's a great thing, always a
good day to adopt her for a friend. In fact,
our friends from the North Shore Animal League, we're here
yesterday and they had puppies up here and we were
holding puppies and not one peede on me. Oh no,
it's a good thing. One it is sometimes they do. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (02:05):
The brown dog.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So specific that narrows it down. Well, you know what,
every dog they brought up, they didn't know the breed.
They're like, it's a mix, that's a mix. That brown
dog I think was a lab. I think.

thousand dogs during their campaign the month campaign, It's crazy. Yeah,

what do you have? No, I'm joking. I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Going up and down the stairs for ten minutes ten
minutes seems long. It turns out it's more of a
burst of energy for you than caffeine.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Up the stairs, up the.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Stairs, and down the stairs, I suppose. But just doing
I love the downpark down parts and then just sit

what it says.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All right, I still want my coffee though, thank you,
Nina can do both, all right, Kristin, you're up again.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Seventy three years ago today, nineteen fifty two is the
first toy was advertised on television. Do you know what
toy that was?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That would be mister Potato?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Was it very good?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
But the cool thing about it it was the very
first commercial campaign targeted at children.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
All other commercials show it was on? What show it
was on?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
What do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like? What TV show was it on?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I love Lucy? What was it on?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh? Like the first time the commercial aired?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Like what?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Whoa? That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Did they have a lot of kids shows?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Come on, sorry, chat GBT, I.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Will do that. We will get back to with that
breaking news shortly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What were you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Though?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
We did we cut you off? Kristen? No, I was
just you know what, never mind that is it?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
A flat tired?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
No more. Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
We've got a problem with this Top ten list, Act
Taya six point seven, lantfmcubby. We got Nina in for
Christine Today producer Christen And there's a website. It's called
the Top tens dot com, the top tens dot com,
and they have listed the top ten best sitcoms of
all time, and we're gonna name them off. And when
(06:18):
you hear these shows, I want you to see if
anything is missing, not just a show itself, but I
feel like there's a genre missing for sure. But number
ten is Modern Family. Number nine is Family Guy. Number
eight is Cheers. Number seven, The Fresh Prince of bel Air,
number six, The Office number five, How I Met Your
Mother Number four, The Big Bang Theory number three, The
(06:40):
Simpsons number two, Friends number one, Seinfeld.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's very very nineties ish, is it not.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's the first thing that's stuck in my mind when
I read this. Eighties and nineties, well mainly nineties. You're right,
because Cheers is eighties. Cheers is good, but everything else
Simpsons is kind of like the end of the eighties.
But I gotta tell you, it's a lot of nineties
and early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, theory is two thousands, Family Guy, Modern Family.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, you could totally tell a millennial wrote this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Abs because if I did this list, yeah, I would
have a Seinfeld in there or or an Office in there,
but I almost to have is Love Lucy, you have,
Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Dyke, Brady Bunch, Gillian's on the Three,
Jefferson's don't Get Me Going, One Day at a Time, Safford,
Good Times, What's Happening.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Barney Miller, Barney Miller.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That'd be my list, right, But don't you agree that's
that's missing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, it's kind of disappointing, not disappointing. It's just very
constrained to a specific time.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But out of the ones in the top ten, which
one would you make number one? Would you make Seinfeld
number one? Nina?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think I'm happy with that number one. I think
I think I like Cheers.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
They're number eight eight.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now, Kristen and I agree that The Office should be
number one.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The American Office, Yes, the American version. OK. I didn't
watch it that much. Sorry so good, sorry so good.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It grew on me. I remember not liking it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, it's very different from the other one, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It does take a while. Season one's a little a
little slower more dry. It's definitely dry, and it gets
a lot better.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Somebody texted in said, everybody loves Raymond and the Middle
great shows and they're not in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The Good Place is a great show, a good place.
Do you ever see The Good Place with Ted Danson
and they're in they're kind of it like in Purgatory.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, it's good.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
When we had Pilot's Amazing it was on probably it
probably ended like four years ago. As my guess, it's
pretty new.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
All right, we give us a text the best sitcom
of all time in your opinion at four four, three
six three. Maybe you agree with this list? Who knows?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe you a mash maybe it wears a mash ash.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Before we get back to the TV shows. Earlier in
the show, I said, hey, shout out, let us know
what you're up to. A lot of people out and
about and Eco Bay Farms text it in. Hit them
up at Ecobayfarms dot com. A GVC school bus company
in the Bronx driving special needs children. Thank you for listening,
and a text here. I want to give a shout
(09:07):
out to my wonderful husband, who is The text went away.
I hate when they refresh Bill Marx and his company
Armor overhead door serving all of New Jersey garage doors.
Remember I said, hey, if you want to call in,
shout somebody out and then plug them. Yeah, we'll plug
your business. So there you go. And a lot of
people are texting in about the best TV sitcoms of
all time, and we noticed that on the list. It
(09:30):
was a great list, but a lot of things were missing. Yes,
number ten, Modern Family number nine, Family Guy number eight, Years,
number seven, The Fresh Prince of bel Air number six,
The Office, How I Met Your Mother Number five, The
Big Bang Theory number four, The Simpsons number three, Friends
number two, Seinfeld number one. Somebody texted in and brought
up a great point. A cartoon should not be on
(09:53):
the list.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Agreed, And that's not a sitcom, not a situation comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But it's epic The Simpsons it is, but it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's not what this is.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
This list and a lot of things I believe from
the seventies and eighties were missing, like all of the
Family Mash.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We brought up Mash even before that, like Dick Van
Dyke Show and Mary Tyler Moore Show. Mary Tyler Moore
was not comedy, but Dick van Dyck was.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Right, and Kristen brought up a good point. Who do
you think made the list?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh, definitely a millennial.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm millennium for sure, she says with Nita, if we
had done this list, we'd have Three's Company on.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There, and Sandford and Son and all of those things exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But again, another thing about these lists is they're very subjective. Yeah,
you're never gonna make everybody happy when you bring out
a list like that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They just make the list so you can debate about
it also, right, I don't think the idea is for
you to go, well, that's great and move on. The
idea is for you to like pitch in your own
brain and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Writeyeah, no one's ever gonna say that's the best top
ten list ever. Don't change a thing.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'll take that right, Right.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's always fun to talk about, Like you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Mentioned more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next one to.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Six point seven light FM Covey, Nina and for Christine
producer Kristen And I'm sure you've heard the term before.
You know, I will die on this hill. You know
what it means, right, It's a cause or belief someone
is deeply committed to and will defend fiercely, even if
it means facing opposition or consequences controversy. Yeah, that's what
it means when someone says I will die on this hill.
(11:22):
And a friend of mine on Facebook post to this question. Now,
it was a female friend, So she said, ladies, what's
a hill you'll die on? But I feel like anybody
can answer this question. Sure, And a couple of the
comments below where children should be given free school breakfast
and lunch, I mean they got kind of you know.
There were some serious answers here, and there were some
lighthearted answers here.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Wearing shoes in the house is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Correct you saw that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Actually, yes, I believe you should take your shoes off
right right, right? So gross. So I want you to
give us a text at four four three sixty three
what's a hill you'll die on? And we'll read some
more comments here. But again a lot of these were
ladies answering because my friend posed the question, ladies, what's
the hell you'll die on?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, your thirties and forties are better. I don't agree
with that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I've passed that. What am I supposed to do now?
Just regret that I'm past my forties?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, Like currently I'm in my fifties, and I think.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That, Yeah, they gotta be good. You have to say
they're good while you're in them, right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Right, produce a christ and anything standing out on here?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
On here, Taco bell is not real Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Okay, I don't know how they got on the list
just for women, but I.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Agree debate that. I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Though it's not bad. It's really salty.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'm not saying it's it's bad, right, It's just it's
not real Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Correct, It's it's food.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's food, and maybe you lose your eyes and feel
like you're in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
At Chicken Quesadia. Right, I won't pass it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'll take it now. What about now? There's some comments
here though that I feel weird reading, so I don't
know if I can even read them.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's better to be single than with a loser? Is
that one?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
No, not that that one's a good one. But you
know there's some things that women go through that and
I know your body goes through a lot, and.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I want you to read them just kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Well, certain products should be free.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Is what feminine hygien products should be free? Right, they
should be Honestly, it's not a choice.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
People don't go to school sometimes because you don't have
access to that stuff. That's a serious conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
How about this pineapple does not belong on pizza.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I do not want to see mister bate comes up.
Once he eats, I would say, get over it.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If you like it, eat it correct. That's my rule
for everything. And don't knock you try that sounds filthy?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Can we isolate that clip right there?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Someone's got it recorded?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You eat it all right? Hit us up on text
four four three six three. It doesn't matter if you're
a lady or a man. The question in general is
what's a hill you'll die off life?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
It's Cobby and Christine's crazy first date?

final day of April Cubby with Nina in for Christine.
We got producer Kristen and yeah, Nina, we didn't know
you were coming in today. Even Christine didn't know you
were coming in today until about what was it at
eight o'clock Kristen yesterday morning?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, she texted me, I'm in a panic. Are you
in it tomorrow? Yes, I'm in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
So she thought she was working today and then going
home to pack some more. Yeah, and then jumping on
a five thirty flights.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's not the worst thing.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
No, it's not. I've done it before.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
She doesn't do it.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
She doesn't do it. I've done a morning show before
and then caught a europe flight in the evening. And
I like working like on a day like today. Yeah,
I'm more tired for the flight.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's also save a vacation day.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Correct. Well, Christine thought she was working today, and then
around eight o'clock again yesterday morning, she goes, oh my gosh,
I took off. I forgot. I gotta call Nina make
sure she knows. But you know, you know, and you're
in for what a week and a half.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I think I'm in all the rest of this week,
next week, and I think the Monday for whatever the
Monday is.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Wow. Yeah, Well we're in good hands with producer Kristin.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
She's here every day.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
She's got us all prepped and ready to go. Is
it gonna be a great show today, Kristin? Or what
it is? Can you name the giveaways we have off
the top of your head? No, but you prepared me
with the giveaways? Sure. Yeah, that's why everything she did.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
She put the sports together, she got the news all
taken care of good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
She does it all. Seriously, I don't think people know
how important a producer is behind the scenes, so important
I can. I could be frozen for like a week,
and you can unthaw me and all the informations in
front of me to make me sound like I'm plugged
in when really I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You do sound you just sound pretty good?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes. For example, did you know that today is National
Adopted Shelter Pet Day. That's a great thing, always a
good day to adopt her for a friend. In fact,
our friends from the North Shore Animal League, we're here
yesterday and they had puppies up here and we were
holding puppies and not one peede on me. Oh no,
it's a good thing. One it is sometimes they do. Yeah,
what were you You were holding a really cute dog,
(01:58):
Producer christ the one you had, Yeah, that's we held
the same dog.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You handed it off to me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's right, that's right, the brown dog.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
The brown dog.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So specific that narrows it down. Well, you know what,
every dog they brought up, they didn't know the breed.
They're like, it's a mix, that's a mix. That brown
dog I think was a lab. I think.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Do you know that they adopt out forty over forty
thousand dogs during their campaign the month campaign, It's crazy. Yeah,
we had them on the public affairs show Got Connected
this month, so I learned all the facts.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Have you ever plugged your show Get Connected.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Does anybody have a pin on them that clicks? You

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh no, some of that's about the pen though.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right possibly. I mean, try I try it for ten second.
Speaker 2 (04:12):

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, now, you would never break that word.

No way, not even close. I don't even know if
I get to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Right, yeah, we'll try it tomorrow. Get a different pend. Yeah,
what do you have, Nina.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Next time you feel sluggish, skip the caffeine and hit
the stairs.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Signists found you know, I'm turning your mic off, Kristin,
what do you have? No, I'm joking. I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Going up and down the stairs for ten minutes ten
minutes seems long. It turns out it's more of a
burst of energy for you than caffeine.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Up the stairs, up the.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Stairs, and down the stairs, I suppose. But just doing
I love the downpark down parts and then just sit
right there on the bottom and chill. Yeah, that's exactly
what it says.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All right, I still want my coffee though, thank you,
Nina can do both, all right, Kristin, you're up again.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Seventy three years ago today, nineteen fifty two is the
first toy was advertised on television. Do you know what
toy that was?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That would be mister Potato?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Was it very good?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
But the cool thing about it it was the very
first commercial campaign targeted at children.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
All other commercials show it was on? What show it
was on?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
What do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like? What TV show was it on?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I love Lucy? What was it on?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh? Like the first time the commercial aired?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Like what?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Whoa? That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Did they have a lot of kids shows?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Come on, sorry, chat GBT, I.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Will do that. We will get back to with that
breaking news shortly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What were you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Though?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
We did we cut you off? Kristen? No, I was
just you know what, never mind that is it?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
A flat tired?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
No more. Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
We've got a problem with this Top ten list, Act
Taya six point seven, lantfmcubby. We got Nina in for
Christine Today producer Christen And there's a website. It's called
the Top tens dot com, the top tens dot com,
and they have listed the top ten best sitcoms of
all time, and we're gonna name them off. And when
(06:18):
you hear these shows, I want you to see if
anything is missing, not just a show itself, but I
feel like there's a genre missing for sure. But number
ten is Modern Family. Number nine is Family Guy. Number
eight is Cheers. Number seven, The Fresh Prince of bel Air,
number six, The Office number five, How I Met Your
Mother Number four, The Big Bang Theory number three, The
(06:40):
Simpsons number two, Friends number one, Seinfeld.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's very very nineties ish, is it not.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's the first thing that's stuck in my mind when
I read this. Eighties and nineties, well mainly nineties. You're right,
because Cheers is eighties. Cheers is good, but everything else
Simpsons is kind of like the end of the eighties.
But I gotta tell you, it's a lot of nineties
and early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, theory is two thousands, Family Guy, Modern Family.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, you could totally tell a millennial wrote this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Abs because if I did this list, yeah, I would
have a Seinfeld in there or or an Office in there,
but I almost to have is Love Lucy, you have,
Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Dyke, Brady Bunch, Gillian's on the Three,
Jefferson's don't Get Me Going, One Day at a Time, Safford,
Good Times, What's Happening.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Barney Miller, Barney Miller.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That'd be my list, right, But don't you agree that's
that's missing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, it's kind of disappointing, not disappointing. It's just very
constrained to a specific time.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But out of the ones in the top ten, which
one would you make number one? Would you make Seinfeld
number one? Nina?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think I'm happy with that number one. I think
I think I like Cheers.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
They're number eight eight.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now, Kristen and I agree that The Office should be
number one.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The American Office, Yes, the American version. OK. I didn't
watch it that much. Sorry so good, sorry so good.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It grew on me. I remember not liking it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, it's very different from the other one, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It does take a while. Season one's a little a
little slower more dry. It's definitely dry, and it gets
a lot better.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Somebody texted in said, everybody loves Raymond and the Middle
great shows and they're not in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The Good Place is a great show, a good place.
Do you ever see The Good Place with Ted Danson
and they're in they're kind of it like in Purgatory.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, it's good.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
When we had Pilot's Amazing it was on probably it
probably ended like four years ago. As my guess, it's
pretty new.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
All right, we give us a text the best sitcom
of all time in your opinion at four four, three
six three. Maybe you agree with this list? Who knows?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe you a mash maybe it wears a mash ash.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Before we get back to the TV shows. Earlier in
the show, I said, hey, shout out, let us know
what you're up to. A lot of people out and
about and Eco Bay Farms text it in. Hit them
up at Ecobayfarms dot com. A GVC school bus company
in the Bronx driving special needs children. Thank you for listening,
and a text here. I want to give a shout
(09:07):
out to my wonderful husband, who is The text went away.
I hate when they refresh Bill Marx and his company
Armor overhead door serving all of New Jersey garage doors.
Remember I said, hey, if you want to call in,
shout somebody out and then plug them. Yeah, we'll plug
your business. So there you go. And a lot of
people are texting in about the best TV sitcoms of
all time, and we noticed that on the list. It
(09:30):
was a great list, but a lot of things were missing. Yes,
number ten, Modern Family number nine, Family Guy number eight, Years,
number seven, The Fresh Prince of bel Air number six,
The Office, How I Met Your Mother Number five, The
Big Bang Theory number four, The Simpsons number three, Friends
number two, Seinfeld number one. Somebody texted in and brought
up a great point. A cartoon should not be on
(09:53):
the list.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Agreed, And that's not a sitcom, not a situation comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But it's epic The Simpsons it is, but it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's not what this is.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
This list and a lot of things I believe from
the seventies and eighties were missing, like all of the
Family Mash.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We brought up Mash even before that, like Dick Van
Dyke Show and Mary Tyler Moore Show. Mary Tyler Moore
was not comedy, but Dick van Dyck was.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Right, and Kristen brought up a good point. Who do
you think made the list?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh, definitely a millennial.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm millennium for sure, she says with Nita, if we
had done this list, we'd have Three's Company on.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There, and Sandford and Son and all of those things exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But again, another thing about these lists is they're very subjective. Yeah,
you're never gonna make everybody happy when you bring out
a list like that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They just make the list so you can debate about
it also, right, I don't think the idea is for
you to go, well, that's great and move on. The
idea is for you to like pitch in your own
brain and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Writeyeah, no one's ever gonna say that's the best top
ten list ever. Don't change a thing.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'll take that right, Right.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's always fun to talk about, Like you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Mentioned more Covey and Christine and the great music variety
you expect next one to.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Six point seven light FM Covey, Nina and for Christine
producer Kristen And I'm sure you've heard the term before.
You know, I will die on this hill. You know
what it means, right, It's a cause or belief someone
is deeply committed to and will defend fiercely, even if
it means facing opposition or consequences controversy. Yeah, that's what
it means when someone says I will die on this hill.
(11:22):
And a friend of mine on Facebook post to this question. Now,
it was a female friend, So she said, ladies, what's
a hill you'll die on? But I feel like anybody
can answer this question. Sure, And a couple of the
comments below where children should be given free school breakfast
and lunch, I mean they got kind of you know.
There were some serious answers here, and there were some
lighthearted answers here.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Wearing shoes in the house is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Correct you saw that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Actually, yes, I believe you should take your shoes off
right right, right? So gross. So I want you to
give us a text at four four three sixty three
what's a hill you'll die on? And we'll read some
more comments here. But again a lot of these were
ladies answering because my friend posed the question, ladies, what's
the hell you'll die on?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, your thirties and forties are better. I don't agree
with that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I've passed that. What am I supposed to do now?
Just regret that I'm past my forties?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, Like currently I'm in my fifties, and I think.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That, Yeah, they gotta be good. You have to say
they're good while you're in them, right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Right, produce a christ and anything standing out on here?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
On here, Taco bell is not real Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Okay, I don't know how they got on the list
just for women, but I.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Agree debate that. I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Though it's not bad. It's really salty.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'm not saying it's it's bad, right, It's just it's
not real Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Correct, It's it's food.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's food, and maybe you lose your eyes and feel
like you're in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
At Chicken Quesadia. Right, I won't pass it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'll take it now. What about now? There's some comments
here though that I feel weird reading, so I don't
know if I can even read them.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's better to be single than with a loser? Is
that one?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
No, not that that one's a good one. But you
know there's some things that women go through that and
I know your body goes through a lot, and.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I want you to read them just kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Well, certain products should be free.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Is what feminine hygien products should be free? Right, they
should be Honestly, it's not a choice.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
People don't go to school sometimes because you don't have
access to that stuff. That's a serious conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
How about this pineapple does not belong on pizza.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I do not want to see mister bate comes up.
Once he eats, I would say, get over it.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If you like it, eat it correct. That's my rule
for everything. And don't knock you try that sounds filthy?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Can we isolate that clip right there?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Someone's got it recorded?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You eat it all right? Hit us up on text
four four three six three. It doesn't matter if you're
a lady or a man. The question in general is
what's a hill you'll die off life?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
