3 things your learned from the Bill Spadea show: The political shift and more

The week ended with what can be described as the start of a political seismic shift.   As is custom on Fridays, we also thanked our #BlueFriday honoree, Florence police officer Nathan Tompkins. Tompkins was off-duty, when he managed to stop a moving vehicle and resuscitate a heroin victim victim who had overdosed. We were even joined by female comic Bonnie McFarlane for some laughs. It was a great way to end the week.

Florence police officer Nathan Tompkins - Our #BlueFriday honoree

Even when Florence police officer Nathan Tompkins is not wearing uniform, he goes above and beyond the call of duty. Last August, Officer Tompkins saw a driver slumped behind the steering wheel driving through an intersection. Tompkins rapidly approached the vehicle on foot, opened the car door and stepped on the brakes. The driver had overdosed on heroin. Tompkins administered Narcan with the help a of fellow police officer that arrived on the scene.  Brave police officers like Nathan Tompkins are prime examples of why we honor NJ police with #BlueFriday.

Seismic shift coming prior to the Primary Election in the Garden State

Trump wins big Thursday night, even with all his outrageousness, he actually increased his entertainment value at Fox's GOP debate. As a man who talks for a living, I have never been so entertained, as I was watching the GOP debate.

There is a seismic shift coming in what voters what in their candidates and as a result, the primary in New Jersey will matter in this year's race.  Voters on both sides of the political parties are coming together to stand up and oppose establishment candidates. You didn't need much more proof of that than at last nights GOP debate.

Caller Frank from Hazlet says “Maybe elites will realize they can’t force established candidates down our throat.” Listen to more of Frank’s insight on establishment candidates on the YouTube clip below.

Bonnie McFarlane gives her opinion on what it takes to be a comic

Bonnie McFarlane brought plenty of laughs to the studio today. Originally from Canada, McFarlane has now become a transplanted New Jerseyan. It took a long time for her to settle in to the Garden State. Prior to coming to Jersey, McFarlane admits she was not used to knowing who her neighbors were. McFarlane even went as far as to admit she tried to conceal her comedian status to her neighbors.

 She discusses what's it's like for a comic and the uncomfortable feeling the audience experiences at shows when the comedian's act bombs. “When no one laughs it’s painful, which is harder for the audience,” says McFarlane.

You can see Bonnie live this weekend as she will be performing live at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick.  Listen to more of my interview with Bonnie McFarlane below.
