NYC Love, Olympics, and Baseball Buzz

Audio By Carbonatix

The episode of Fun Friday kicks off with Kevin and Cristyne diving into Valentine’s weekend energy—Times Square weddings, vow renewals, and the joys of celebrating love in the heart of NYC. Cristyne shares her own upcoming vow renewal and reminisces about Times Square’s evolution from late‑night Sbarro runs to a modern culinary hotspot packed with Bond 45 Negronis and freshly roasted artichokes.

As Winter Olympics fever grips their TVs and families, the duo gush over high‑definition skiing, mascara‑melting skating drama, and the adrenaline‑spiking terror of luge and skeleton. They welcome back their friend, gymnastics icon Wendy Hilliard, who reflects on Olympic determination and previews the upcoming Harlem Gymnastics Invitational—NYC’s largest gymnastics event, bringing young athletes from around the world.

Then it’s on to baseball season—because nothing warms a New Yorker’s winter heart like pitchers and catchers reporting. Legends Marty Appel (Yankees) and Jay Horwitz (Mets) join the conversation, sharing stories about superstitions, no‑hitters, long histories with iconic training fields, and the fresh prospects and roster shakeups heading into the new MLB season.

Cristyne and Kevin then preview weekend happenings across NYC, including the long‑awaited (warmer!) EagleFest at Croton Point Park, Times Square’s Love in Times Square festivities, and a free community weekend at the Jackie Robinson Museum celebrating the Robinsons’ 80th wedding anniversary.

They close with a Valentine’s music surprise: a sneak‑peek playlist from Kevin’s TEA Collective—perfect for a cozy NYC evening after a lively day of eagles, gymnastics, museum visits, or a romantic Times Square vow renewal.
