From the streets of Union City to your nighttime radio, Steve Treble keeps you in the Jersey. No from 7 till 11 live local and line Steve on New Jersey 101.5 [Music] week night Steve the golden line call at 1800283101.5 and just like that Monday night in New Jersey Trevol you and me 11:00. So much going on. So much we're going to do tonight. Um we've got we got Harry's Harry from Harry's Dog House. I'm going to have a dog on at 9:00 and I'm going to interview the dog. Keith Shaw will be here with him. They got a big event going on at the Cranberry in that I got to tell you about, especially if you love tasting wine. Columbus Day is back. We got to talk about that. But, uh, starting off, you know, there's so much, uh, I missed the ginatorial debate because I was hanging out in the studio with May Pang for a couple of hours talking about John Lennon, uh, Wednesday night. But, uh, there's so much going on with the debate and we've got a big comedy show going up. Uh, the Catch Your Rising Star this weekend. I'm with Thursday, Friday night. And with me will be New Jersey uh, State Senator John Bramnik, the funniest lawyer in studio. What's happening, pal? competition is pretty light for funniest lawyer and and and I don't get paid when I do my comedy and that's probably because people don't come to see a a lawyer tell jokes but come on down and see Steve Trevise cuz he's hilarious. It's going to be catch a rising star.com. Uh it's going to be Friday night and Saturday night you're going to be there with Eric Pototts as well. Yeah, two nights in a row. So, you know, get ready. Hold on to the chairs. You know it's going to be explosive night. you know how controversial my comedy is. You know, no four-letter words, nothing. There'll be no no verdict at the end of the show. Come down. Come down and get bored and pay to get bored with your funniest lawyer in New Jersey. You know, the docu the uh the debate we kind of thought was going to be boring as it just kind of dragged on and dragged on. Then all of a sudden, it got really contentious. It was like a debate New Jersey debate smackdown. Well, think about this. You're running for months against somebody else. It turns out like you just get frustrated because you I ran in the primary. I think I got a few votes. Uh and the bottom line is your opponent each day you get more and more revved up and then the final debate people just let loose at each other. You know it's sad because you know you know it's unfortunate but that's how it works. It builds up in your system and you then you freak out the last couple days. You think there's a point though because it started out, you know, it started out kind of mellow and then it got to the point where she's calling him a child killer and she she's he's saying she didn't walk with a graduating class and they're going back and forth. Is there a point where she's like, should I do this? Should I really do it? Or is there I should hold back or then you just kind of let loose knowing what's going to happen after you do? Well, I've been in many debates and sometimes you lose it no matter what your handlers say and you don't say it exactly the way they want and then you walk off the stage and they give you that look. Especially those young advisors, they go like this. I said, "How was it?" Go, "Well, uh, you know, if they don't say fabulous, it means they're not happy what you do." So look, no matter how you do this, nobody comes out perfect on these debates and you're so upset and you know it's pretty heavy because you got to be it's like a trial lawyer. You have to be thinking you have to be on all 12 cylinders. And guess what? Even on 12 cylinders, you can mess up. But was it a mess up or was it planned? I mean, let me ask you this. I I I I think certain parts are planned and then what happens is you stumble over something and you say something you didn't mean to say it that way. No, any attack any attack is thought about in advance. How you say it though can be very difficult unless you're really trained at really delivering the punch. It's hard for anybody. I have a friend of mine who represented Ohio congressman who went on it was I forget his name Tom I forget who it was but uh he was telling me that you know when you're representing your candidate you have to have your candidate ready for anything that no matter what that he is so prepared or she is so prepared that if somebody would to you know jump out of a car and say you had an affair with my and he would automatically have the answer. Well, that's great except the lights are on. There's 100,000 people watching. You have it prepared, but how you say it, you know, you're ready to defend the attack, but you don't use the words in the order you're supposed to or you throw something extra. You can be really prepared and you can still not say exactly the way you wanted to say it. And I've walked out of courtrooms at times and go, "Oh man, you know, I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn't say it the way I wanted to say it." That's kind of the same thing when you walk in off the comedy stage and I had the joke or you get you get the joke later on. Well, I walk off and my wife sitting there said, "How how'd I do?" She go, "Well, Will says, "Well, you forgot this. Your best audience to tell you whether you did a good job is your spouse because you on the way home." She goes, "Well, you know, you didn't tell a joke about our daughter." I said, "Well, I forgot that." She goes, "Well, that's your best joke." I know, but I forgot it. She goes, "Well, it's a so that's why spouses are so good." You know, they they're the only person on earth going to tell you exactly how you did. You know what? When you Yeah. You know, when you get up there, it's how much of it's going to come out your mouth. How much of it's going to go out the back of your head? And if you lose it, if you're on stage and one day I was doing a comedy routine in Atlantic City at the Borgata and I'm doing all these Jersey jokes and nobody's moving. There's not a sound. They had bust in all the people from Pennsylvania, like central Pennsylvania. They did not know. I was doing like a Jim McGrevy joke. I was not one sound. And when you start losing it on stage, then you can't get it back. I mean, you can cuz you're a professional, but I'm an amateur. And if you can't bring it back, you just freak. I did a show once at the at the convention hall and I was working with Marino and um opening and nothing. and to where I'm mov I'm getting nervous like what the hell is going on then all of a sudden like about with 5 minutes left in time I hear a pop and I hear myself and the sound came on and I'm like wait a minute you hear what Mike Marino does he goes it's really nice to do an event and hear the air conditioner so you can do those kind of things and make the I would say no but it's interesting but he uses that he even knows what to do and the professionals know what to do even when you're dying oh who do Do you think now having watched the debate? I'm assuming you did. What were your thoughts on the debate? Okay. Everybody I speak to says the same thing. If you like Jack Chidarelli, then you were Jack Chitter. If you like Mike Sher, you like Mike Sher. There are very few undecided people left. And you think so? Very. Oh, I think the polls show it. The polls show 9% etc. But people are so in their corners today that they don't evaluate debates. I actually here's the other thing. national debates, you'll hear an opinion. Even the mo even the people on radio, they're neutral. Everybody's either an extremist or neutral. No one analyzes it really specifically as to and I don't think most of the time except for the Biden debate against Trump when he talked about, you know, Medicare, you know, some crazy time. Most of the time, it's very close in terms of how people evaluate debates because they come in rooting. It's like they come in rooting for their side. They don't even hear the other side. Well, at that point though, like from what you saw and you know, as someone who ran for governor in the primary and now you're watching Jack and by the way, did Jack uh seek your endorsement? Did you uh uh No. And I look, I understand uh maybe he didn't want a moderate um Republican. Maybe that would have turned off other people. So, he he didn't call me. I did call him and congratulate him, but he didn't call me to ask for an endorsement. you know, they they figure this stuff out and they say, you know, John Bramlick may be, you know, too much of an old type moderate Republican and maybe he doesn't help us. But no, I never heard. Now, what about like with Mikey? When you saw the exchange or when you saw the whole debate, who do you think won the debate? Well, I I don't know who won, but there were certain mistakes on both sides. So, I'm trying to be objective because I look at this thing really, not only as a senator or a candidate, but also as a trial lawyer. Okay. So when Mikey did the attack on on on Jack's this so-called quote what he did in his company and that was opiids etc. When she she first said it it was very well done and then she went to murder. Okay. And I think she probably went too far and then Jack when he came back to answer the question he goes you didn't march and you're you didn't graduate. So that's the point he should have been prepared for. So he her subsequent maneuver on the opiate produ opiate advertisement he did allegedly and then her so as I said everybody makes mistakes and the people who like one side other goes my my woman want it's incredibly how partisan people are 1800 283 101.5 Senator John Bramik is with me your thoughts on the gubanatorial debate uh who do you think won did it sway your vote in any way. Have you made up your mind in who you're going to vote for already? Uh the election is about three and a half weeks out, right? We're getting really, really close. November the 4th. This is the 13th. Yeah. All right. 1 800283101.5. Your thoughts and we got the app. You could always get us on the app chat as well. I'm Steve Treval. This is New Jersey 101.5. Fast traffic. All right. 18283 101.5. Steve Trevoliz with Senator John Brennik and comedian Steve Trevoliz, the funniest lawyer in New Jersey. That's who I want to hire when I get my divorce. The funniest lawyer in New Jersey. He won't be laughing when my bill comes. Say that. Two candidates go into a writer college and then boom. All right. So, we were talking about uh the debate. We're talking about Jack and and the Jack attack and all that. Uh there's been talk that he may sue. If he were to sue I'm asking trial lawyer John Bramnik now if he were to sue her over comments. Could he win? Is that is that a lawsuit there? Cuz I thought about that. It's interesting. Uh so basically first amendments protect a lot of stuff but it's if it's deemed to be malicious, intentional and false, there is a standard in the in the law that allows you bring a claim if it damages your reputation and it's outside generative scope of what we call political commentary and there's a malicious intent, no basis. In fact, it's a it's a tough standard because pretty much politicians, we call each other all kinds of stuff, but never child murderers. Look, as I said, uh I haven't had any first amendment cases recently. There is a level where you can bring a claim, but it's a very very high standard and the courts don't really like those cases because then they'll get flooded with cases because can you imagine what politicians said? Oh, especially in politics. So there is a standard you can bring a claim and I we've seen it before in the past actually years ago I believe when Chris Christie was running there was a claim by the prosecutor Murphy at that point. I don't know how it came out but occasionally there are results. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened in that case. That's a pretty strong accusation though. Well as I said there is a standard and the standard is tough but I I So he would have a case if he actually did want to do it. But the answer I'm not giving I'm giving you a non-answer as a lawyer because as a politician. Well, no, I'm just saying first amendment protects a lot. At some point you can sue. I just can't dictate. I can't. So, can you win? I do. Well, well, the question is, can you get past a motion to dismiss a case based on the First Amendment? And to be honest with you, I didn't come prepared. I'd have to go home and do homework and tell you exactly what the standard is. Okay. Now you slip. The standard is the standard. If you were to slip and fall, I can tell you what the standard is, but I'm not as sure on a first amendment. Let's get Greg in freehold. Who better to lead this off and play center field? What's happening, my friend? Hey, Steve. Um, so the debate was a good one. I thought Jack won. Um, the only thing I liked from Mikey Cheryl, and there wasn't much, is that she said she would work on infrastructure, you know, water pipes and such, but other than that, uh, she did terribly, you know, accusing him of murder as such, it was a, it was a terrible line cuz it's obviously not true. He should have responded better, as you noted. Uh, he should have been indignant and told her, you know, you're a liar and, etc., etc. But when it comes to the issues at hand in New Jersey, Jack was right on the money. So he mentioned school choice and vouchers and charters, changing the school funding formula, property taxes, ending cashless bail, ending the immigrant trust directive, uh reducing the size of government, lowering taxes, all that good stuff, pulling out of the greenhouse regional greenhouse gas initiative, making New Jersey a better place to do business by lowering the corporate tax. That kind of stuff is really important and will really lower uh property taxes. I mean, we're the worst state in the country in to do business in and making us a better state to do business in will help all New Jerseyians. You sparked Senator Bradnick when you talked about the corporate taxes. You know, 10 years 10 years as a Republican leader in the House. Many of those issues are the issues we fought for during those 10 years and we never had the votes. But generally speaking, the Republican policies in this state are are clearly are clearly very important to most taxpayers and most citizens. Uh I all all I was just talking about specifically about incidents within the debate, but generally I'm a Republican and believe in smaller government, less taxes, and uh clearly something we need in the state. Greg, thanks for the call to New Jersey 101.5. See, we got to teach Chitterelli crowd work. That's what it was. See, you got we got to put him on a comedy stage like the drill. And you're gonna get on stage and you're gonna get people gonna heckle you and you got to know how to handle the hecklers. Well, actually, I listen to YouTube and watch hecklers and the response by comedians. So, I'm ready. And one of the ones I use now is where'd you learn how to whisper in a helicopter. So, I have four or five ready to go. And you rode in a helicopter. Yeah. For the first time in my life. So, and I'll have to tell you, helicopter is like being Superman. It flies right over the trees. Oh my. I was I I was like in shock. But it is look like anything else. It takes incredible experience and training. As you know, as a professional comedian that you are, in order to respond, you have to not only be ready, you have to have a certain amount of ideas pre ready to go. Otherwise, yeah, most of the stuff you see by comedians, that's not impromptu. They've they've used it before and they've practiced it. Exactly. John Bramnik is in the studio. Senator John Bramnick talking about the debate. We got to get into President Trump as well. We got so much to talk about and we're going to be a catch a rising star this uh Thursday and Friday. Catch a risingstar.com. Here's our own rising star, the one and only Danny D Cresenzo. All right. 18 to 283 101.5. Steve Chavalisse with state senator and funniest lawyer in New Jersey. John Brandick. You go by funniest lawyer first and then state senator. Well, I was the funniest lawyer before I was the state senator. So, I guess in the hierarchy of things and I did trademark it after I won. So, there are people who are funnier than me and lawyers, but unfortunately I beat him to the punch in terms of the trademark. I drive down the dirt bike and I see your billboards. I work with that guy. Well, that's why I'm doing November 7th. I'm raising money for the NJP pack in New York that night doing comedy because that NJPAC's a really cool place. Decide to help him out. So, you can go to njpac.org and help out the NJPAC. So, I'm looking forward to that. And Vinnie Brand's on the bill. I love Vinnie Brand. He is absolute riot. So, Vinnie's a great friend. He's got the stress factory. Beautiful person. Vinnie is a sitcom. You could do like you could make a whole sitcom just about Vinnie's life. And Vinnie, you talk about crowd work. He is absolutely fabulous. But you gota have a thick skin if he comes after you. Oh yeah. He go right right at you. No problem whatsoever. But that stress factory is a great place. Absolutely. And we're going to be at Catcher Rising Star Thursday and Friday. Uh catch your risingstar.com. Let's get Cindy in North Brunswick. Hi Cindy. Hi. How are you? Good. You? Very good. But I have a question for Senator Brnik, please. He's right here. I'll get him. Senator Bramick. I'm right here. Okay. So, which candidate are you supporting and who do you feel is best for New Jersey? Well, I'm waiting for the call from Bill. He's best for I'm waiting to waiting for the call from Jack. So, I haven't heard from I don't know if he wants my support. So, I I'll sit by the phone and see if he gives me a call. H interest. I assume he doesn't want my support because he didn't call. You know, I was in the primary. So, he's got a candle burning by the phone. Yeah, I'll wait up. Well, I hope his pride doesn't get the state in trouble. Yeah. Well, yeah. As I said, uh, look, politics is I call it a business. People come up to you say, you know, that person doesn't support you, that person does. No, no, this is not about friendship. This is about policy decisions. So people make a determination whether they want to support me, not support me, support Jack. I never take that personally. Actually, the problem now we have in this country is people have gone into their corners. You can't have a discussion with anybody. The minute somebody mentions Biden or Trump, they're at each other's throats. How about if we just talk about the issue? And it's really sad because you can't get through a dinner without somebody jumping on somebody else's position. You know, I'm hoping someday that changes because right now it's only getting worse. The divide's getting worse. The polarization's getting worse. And that's not good for New Jersey or the country. And you're even going into colleges to spread the word, you know, among college students that, you know, as you start out to to, you know, to get together and stay together. Well, after the murder of Kirk, uh myself and Joe Cryan, a Democrat, decided we go on campuses and we would answer questions as a Democrat and Republican and show people that we don't hate each other. We have substantial differences in our positions. But we let the students ask questions and do it in such a way that we can debate the issue and we don't see much because all due respect to the media, nobody wants to see kind of a discussion on how to solve the problem. They want to see A fighting with B. Because I used to go on all those shows. I used to go on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. They called me and they said they don't want me anymore. Why? Because I was answering the question trying to find a solution. They don't want a solution. They want A versus B. So people turn on and watch the fight. Yeah. They, you know, they want their point of view. Cindy, thanks for calling New Jersey 101.5. Now based on you know to take Cindy's question knowing forget about you know who support who asked you for support but just based on the policies of Jack versus the policies of Mikey what each would do who do you feel is the better candidate look I'm a Republican so I generally support Republican policy over Democratic policy otherwise I wouldn't have been a Republican leader I wouldn't be in the legislature for 20 years I wouldn't have been a Republican councilman in Planefield if I didn't believe in Republican policy, but I'm also old school Republican, meaning I'm a I'm a fan of Bush and Reagan and how they treated each other. So, you know, I I come from the school of the Rodney Freeling, the Leonard Lance, the Tom Kaine Senior. So, that's my approach. But basically, Republican policies, I think, make the state and and the and the company and the country better, especially seeing what we've been seeing the last eight years with the Democratic policies. Well, the Democrats messed up because they kept going farther and farther left. And what happened is the country wasn't going that far left. So, all of a sudden, you had a reaction. reason Trump won, the reason both houses in Washington are Republican because they they went far to the left and they lost the working man. And now I think they're trying to come back and uh are they you think they would, but they keep doubling down. Well, I don't know about that. I you know, to me, you they hear their rhetoric now about the cost of living, the cost I I think they've tried to change the narrative. The narrative seems a little bit different than it used to be. And they they know they have to change a narrative. They they have no choice. They're even learning how to talk to guys. They have seminars now, the Democrats, on how to talk to men because they lost so many uh because they just went over to the other side. No, I didn't know that. Look at men. Toxic male syndrome and you know, guys are no good. So, all right, we'll go over there. Uh Peter is in Lawrence who's all man. Hi, Peter. Hello, Senator Brnik. Hello, Stephen. How are you? Everyone's doing well here. What are you thinking? Well, I have known many politicians in my life since third grade at two restaurants. I knew Kavanagh, who you should know, Senator Ramnik. Dick Cayman. Oh, Dick Cayman. A big fan. Big fan of Dick Cayman. Yes. And you should know Donald D. Franchesco. also a big fan because I'm in my office. He calls the name drop. That's all. He just wants to drop a lot of names. Donny D. Yeah. Look, you know, those are my style politicians. Mhm. And they're mine, too. So, what do you think? They made me rich. My point is they I'm sorry. They made you rich. They made them rich. Now, that's what I'm talking about. That's why capitalism is my favorite capitalism. I love that. That's beautiful. But um I voted for Jack the last time. I'm voting for Jack the second time because I think he's the best candidate, best Energizer, best he may not be as honest as people think he is, but I think he's a better choice than Mikey Cheryl. Why do you think he's not as honest? Well, you know, all politicians kiss babies and are taught how to lie at times. Is that true? Well, look, here here's the situation. Uh, people get involved in politics. That's an assumption, too. No, no. People get involved in politics and that's the heat you take, right? You know, they don't think you're pure. You're in politics. And, you know, I get it. I mean, that's that's that's partly a price we pay for getting in politics. say all kind of lie, you know. So, I've been hearing that for, you know, since I was a council. It's part of the deal. It's part of what you expect. All right. Now, we got to talk about President Trump. Sure. Because you you know, you have one of the greatest lines in the gubernatorial candidate. It's not about I don't care how much we love President Trump. It's who loves New Jersey the most. Look, here's my situation. If President Trump does something good like the Israel situation, okay, he was strong, he was tough, the result was fabulous, but to be an elected official and absolutely be afraid to criticize anything he did, that's what I said in the debate, right? If look, he says something good like does something good, I'm all over what happened in Israel. I mean, that had to do with strength. But if he does something, I I disagree with January 6. I didn't think that everyone, you know, if someone is charged and they they give him a sentence that's way over the top, I understand that. But to say everybody's innocent, I disagreed with that, so I got booed. And people, oh, so my point is, if why do do you want a politician or all they do is say, I agree 100% with this person. I don't agree 100% with anybody, including Steve Trevise. No. Or or my wife. So this idea of you can't criticize at all or disagree with the president, I think that's a big mistake for our party. Well, let me ask you this though. Mikey's campaign is basically built on attacking Trump. Now that Trump has brokered this deal in the Middle East that has gotten the hostages released and is looking, you know, fantastic right now. Does that hurt her campaign help Jack's campaign? I would think it helps Jack's campaign for the following reason. The president is the leader of the Republican party. If he does something good, that reflects on the Republican party. If he does something that people don't like, it reflects poorly on the Republican party. So come, I would guess, and I'm not a political pollster. I'm not a pundit, but I suspect when he does good stuff, that reflects well on the Republican party. I mean, simple as that. But this fact that either 100% with Trump or 100% with Biden, I mean, no, it's ridiculous. And that's the thing that bothers me. Just be objective and if you see something good, say it. Absolutely. He's not a pundit, but he is a comedian. And he's New Jersey's Funniest Lawyer. And he's John Ramnik. And he's going to be at the uh Catch Your Rising Star with me this uh Thursday and Friday, November 7th, raising money for njpac.org. And they'll be right back after fast travel. I want 180 to 283 101.5 Steve Trevalis hanging with New Jersey's funniest lawyer, Senator John Brnik. You didn't ask me about my background as a great basketball player at Planefield High School cuz four years on the team, got in the game once. Really? You played for Rich Voss? Uh, no. I I played for Seth Hicks. You talking about the coach? You mean at Planefield High School? Well, I shouldn't say I played No, I thought you didn't you play with Rich Voss in Planefield? Oh, no. No. Rich was Well, I don't remember Rich making a team. I He's a funny guy, but I don't remember much of a basketball. Oh, I thought you guys were playing basketball together. Well, maybe in on Saturday over in the park. Oh, I was a guy sat on the bench, which uh you know, the coach I never knew why I got in and I found out I was getting 10% off of my dad's store in Planefield. And I think that's how I made the team. You had the costume store, right? My father sold Halloween costumes uh in in Planefield, a place called Lazar. You know what I was for Halloween? What's that? Whatever didn't sell. So I was Batman five years in a row. I said, I hate Batman. So does everybody else. That's great. All right. So now we were talking about uh President Trump gets Israel and Hamas to broker a deal. Is it possible we're ever going to see, and I know you're trying, Democrats, a deal with Democrats and Republicans where they could actually be a broker deal where we could get back to where it used to be, where people could at least be civil, talk to each other, tolerate each other as opposed to where we are now. Yeah, I think so because you never bet against America, right? And I think most people are in the middle. I remember Governor Kaine used to say that during the debate, one of the candidates against me said, "Well, I was having uh like hot dogs in my backyard with Phil Murphy, the governor." I go like this. I'm not allowed to be with the governor. You know, I was there. Exactly. My point is is they're not the enemy. Okay. You have serious policy differences, but I can be friendly with Chris Christie. I can be friendly with Phil Murphy. I can be friendly with Jim McGrevy. I could be friendly with Dick Cody, you know, and I can be friendly with Christy Whitman. Okay, this idea of like you have to agree with everything someone else says. It is it's absurd. You'd have no family. You'd have no business and all you'd be doing is press conferences against your own kids. That's the only thing in politics where you do press conference against the other side. You never have a press conference with the other side. Like you don't agree on anything, you got to hate the other side. It's absolutely rid It's ridiculous. Well, you know what? It's funny. You like You're like the Ringo of politicians, right? Everybody loved Ringo. Everybody Tom Petty. Everybody Every rocker. No matter what your taste in rock and roll was, you can both agree we love Tom Petty. You're like that. You're like that guy. Well, will you tell me just cuz guys a Republican, you got to love them. Or just cuz they're a Democrat. Yeah. I guarantee you there are Democrats who don't like other Democrats. It's Republican. just just for one time in our country say, "Hey, guess what? You know, we can talk to each other. We may not agree, but I don't I don't see it now, but I guarantee you there will be a leader that comes along and says, "We don't hate each other." Just like otherwise, you'd never be able to keep a family together. Well, here's the question, though. Based on the way we're set up with social media and like you said, everybody going to the side because we want the fight. Is it even possible? Like when when the next uh presidential election comes up, right, Trump was such a strong figure. You had a you had a polarizing opinion of Trump one way or the other. Who else would want that job? Pays 400,000 a year and there's no, you know what I mean? We're past the point where there's anybody big enough or charismatic enough that you could even say, "Well, this would be a good candidate." You know what I mean? The lot that we've got isn't very much. Well, first you have to have a massive ego. Okay? Because in order to take the barrage of hate, you have to be strong and tough and you have to be extremely motivated. You have to be ambitious. And most people go like this. I'm not doing that because they're going to find something in my background. They're going to kill me. It eliminates 95% of all Americans that run for office. So unless we start kind of lesser lowering the temperature of hate, we are going to lose great candidates. And it's true there only certain people who can take the heat. And there's a lot of heat and you saw it in the most recent debate between the gubanatorial candidates. The hate gets to the point where they they basically everybody hates each other. That's that's not really good. How about the younger generation looking at this? I don't remember being in school and they teach you teach you to hate the other side when you disagree with somebody. They look at this like Smackdown. They look this like WWE and that's what sells to be yet to be honest with you. You don't get any ratings by talking about, hey, how do you think we should solve the problem, Steve? Or maybe we should compromise. You say compromise and they'll go they'll throw you out of the Republican party. You say compromise and de actually now even down in Washington if you compromise at all as a Democrat you look like a sellout and if you compromise Republican no compromise of course not only in real life do you compromise not in government service that you're not allowed to compromise in no compromise in uh Thursday and Friday night and catch a rising star. No compromise and Saturday night for me comedy you're you're Thursday night I'm Friday and Saturday catch a rising star and we'll tell you something. It is going to be laugh after laugh after laugh after laugh coming from a lawyer. That's a we that's a weird situation right there cuz that's what he does. And November 7th NJPAC njpac.org get your tickets now. They're probably sold out but give it your best shot. You never know. Senator Bradnick, thanks so much for coming in tonight. Great. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right. This is Danny Deris. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Steve talking to you till 11:00 tonight. 1800 283 101.5. Deliver me from nowhere. Coming out October 24th. Uh Jeremy Allen White playing Bruce Springsteen. Uh, Bruce had a lot to say in England about President Trump. I wonder if he's got anything to say now about President Trump here in America. In America, US President Donald Trump and several other world leaders signed a Gaza ceasefire deal during a summit in Egypt earlier in the day. Uh, Trump held the historic dawn of a new Middle East in remarks before the Israeli parliament. Maybe they're going to put affordable housing out there. I don't know. Uh this came after Hamas returned the 20 living hostages uh in Gaza to Israel under a US broker deal. It also handed over four coffins with the remains of the deceased hostages. According to Israeli authorities, some 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1700 detainees from Gaza held by Israel without charge have now been released. So, uh, as I spoke with Senator Bramik earlier, uh, he is seriously funny. You've got to see him at Catch a Rising Star this weekend at NJPAC November 7th. But, uh, you know, what does this do if you're basing your gubernatorial campaign on I hate Donald Trump, we hate Donald Trump. Uh, Donald Trump is looking pretty good right now, uh, in the global, you know, uh, in the global spotlight. And I want to ask you, I mean, not only did he free the hostages, but uh last week he gave us back Columbus Day. Today we have uh your Columbus Day proclamation for Monday, which we're signing a bit early. This is a particularly important uh holiday for Italian Americans who celebrate uh the legacy of Christopher Columbus and the innovation uh and explorer zeal that he represented. In other words, we're calling it Columbus Day. Yes. [Applause] That was the press that broke out in the closet. That was Can you believe that? I've never seen that happen before. The press actually broke out in a closet. Good. Columbus Day. We're back. Columbus Day. We're back. Italians. They let the Italians. Now he's made himself Italian. I like that. Uh I I find it ironic. I mean, I know they don't do these press conferences in front of a studio audience. So, if there is no nothing but reporters in that room, that was the press that actually broke out in the applause that you heard. My question to you uh would be very simple. You know, how do you feel now about President Trump? I heard Jeff and Kylie last week doing a topic. How do you feel about President Trump? I'm going to ask you again at 1800283101.5. Uh, you know, we always see the polls, uh, they go back and forth. I don't think the polls matter now because he's not going anywhere. He's been in office. He's going to be in office for the next three and a half years or three, whatever it is, nine months, three and a quarter years, whatever. So, it doesn't matter yet. Uh, how do you feel? You know, how do you feel about President Trump right now? On a scale of 1 to 10, one being he sucks, 10 being he's greatest, where do you put him? Um, it's funny because the New Jersey, you know, started out blue and now they they're kind of purple. Does this sway them red? How do you think this is going to help the ginatorial election? Do you think that this is going to benefit Jack? Like when a Republican president does something of this magnitude, it's got to trickle down. Uh but also there, you know, there's this thing like Trump derangement syndrome where people just hate him because he is because of of him being him personally as far as far as politically or professionally, but where are you? 1 800283101.5. And how do you feel about Columbus Day being restored? Should it have ever been taken away in the first place? You know, we went through this so many times. Indigenous people's day. Uh, we have 365 days in the year. Surely we can have another day for that. We finally got Italian History Month, which this is, by the way, this is Italian History Month. I'm Italian, you know, uh, Columbus Day means something to the Italian people. the story of Columbus Day, which uh was basically done to u appease Italy because they were going to go to war because the largest mass lynching in this country, they hung 11 Italians on March 14th of 1891. Uh because uh they they were found innocent of murdering the New Orleans police chief, but the crowd didn't buy it. But, you know, you can read up on all that. But as far as Columbus Day, you know, this the the government offices were closed today for Columbus Day. How do you feel about it? Are you happy that we finally got Columbus Day back? Uh what is, you know, to the Italian people who, you know, you talk about, I don't know, like we Governor Murphy wants to honor you, teach Hispanic education in schools, Latino education in schools, teach Italian education in schools. You really want to learn something, see what the Italian people went through. We talked about this last week. What the Jewish people went through, what the Polish people went through, what the Irish people went through, what the German people went through, what the Muslim people coming into this country. Nobody was welcomed with open arms. Gary is in Colt's neck. Gary, what do you think about Trump? Amazing. Steve, I just listen. I I you know, I've always been a Trump supporter and you know, being Italian Polish, don't tell anybody I'm half Polish, but on the my mom's side. But anyway, I just did the White House Polish American Club Saturday night. They're fantastic. I had the best kabasi. Amazing. Yeah, it's unbelievable. We know how to cook uh on a polox side and uh but it's all good. Just as an American, even though I'm born here and you know, it's just how do you take away Columbus Day, you know, like even the pledge of League, like you know, history's history, you know? I mean, if you want to add the other ones, I'm okay with adding something else if that's what you want to do. But getting back to Trump, this man is just an amazing individual. And they, of course, people hate him, I guess, on certain sides. But this man just did an unbelievable thing. But you know what? They just the media, they just they just don't want to give this guy any credit. I mean, well, they're giving him credit now like a dog. I mean, if you look at MSNBC, CNBC, uh, uh, what's the other one? CNN, they're all giving him credit. I mean, there's no way not to give. And this time this time you grudgingly I guess for them have to give them credit. But I mean you know when you get a you know when you when you can broker a peace deal and set up ceasefires all over the world. Ukraine will be next. You know Ukraine will be next. But you know how how else and the idea with Columbus Day. I didn't see what the point was. I didn't see why it was important to lose that. And you know now we've got it back. just more and more things to make, you know, you know, to to try to get us together, you know, Gary, thanks for the call. There was that song by the Young Buds, everybody get together. Come on, people now. Smile, smile, you know, uh, smile on each other. Uh, 55 years ago and we're still in this position. Why do you think that is? Because people are keeping us here. You know, mainstream media, people are keeping us here because there's money to be made from keeping us apart. Not as much as there, you know, uh much more than there is if we were together. But 1 800283101.5. Um if you watch the video of the hostages coming home and you realize the man who is responsible for making that happen, how does it make you feel? Where are you? Have you have you changed your opinion at all on President Trump? Or how do you feel about him? If you don't like him, tell me why. If you do like him, tell me why. But where do you stand? Because like I said, he's not going anywhere. And we have a ginatorial election coming up. So with that, uh, if you know, if the idea is that Mike Gelle is going to win this election because she was a helicopter pilot and she's the, uh, you know, she's the mother of three teenagers and a 20-year-old and she doesn't like Trump. if that's supposed to get the election, good luck because the guy she doesn't like just brokered peace in the Middle East. So, where are you? And you can always get me on the app chat. Uh Charlie, check out the app chat. See if we got anything coming in on that. If you can't make the call, uh you know, get on the app chat and let me know. Uh I don't know. When I when I look and I see rioting going on in Portland, rioting going on, you know, in Chicago, you got protest, you got all this. You're like, "Oh, we're going to send the National Guard." I always thought the National Guard was something that you sent in to help the police. If they can't solve the problem, then you send in help. But apparently that's a problem. Uh but where are you? And in New Jersey, where are you? 1 800 283101.5. Do we have anything on the app chat? Oh, we do actually. Uh Mike the Meman from Madawan. Mike the Meatman. Yeah. He says he rates Trump a 7.5 out of 10. And uh he also wants to know if we're going to get the the Washington uh football team's original name back as well. It's We're on the way. We're on the way. I love the Washington Redskins. The Redskins fans love the Washington Redskins. All right. Anything else? Uh that's about it. But he said it's a great day to be an American. All right. It definitely is. You know what? When you look at that and you you look at those hostages coming home, he makes a great point, Mike, because you look at the video, you see the reunion, uh you see the tears and you're like, you know what? We did that. Our president did that. We, this country, we as Americans had a hand in that. 1 800 283 101.5 scale of 1 to 10. How do you feel about President Trump? How do you feel about President Trump brokering the deal to release the hostages? How do you feel about President Trump bringing back Columbus Day? I'm Steve Trevalis. Here's New Jersey 101.5 Fast Traffic. I got to tell you that uh the weather was brought to you by Town Appliance, the luxury appliance store in Lakewood. Familyowned, operated for over 50 years.

All right, Steve Trevalis 1 1800 283101.5. We got Columbus Day back. How about that? Remember in the Sopranos, they were very upset about it. I can't turn the other cheek on this. My father was a Knight of Columbus. I'm an Italian American and I pay money to the Italian Anti-Defamation Coordination Council ambassador. We're the victims here. Oh, you write a check, too. Don't Let's not forget it was a friend of ours, Joe Colombo, who founded the first Italian-American Anti-Defamation Organization. You were still out of line. You're right, 100%. But well, as your consili, since you asked, I think the guys and myself, too, we need your leadership on this. You know what? The Knights of Columbus, I've done so many fundraisers for them. Uh, give me a hit up on the app as well. We have the app chat. You could always tell me how you feel, but how do you feel about uh President Trump bringing back Columbus Day, signing the executive order? How do you feel about President Trump releasing the hostages? What else does this man have to do to win your approval? Uh what do we got on the app, Chap, Charlie? So, uh hold on. I got to turn the mic on. All right. What do we got in the app, Chap? So, Susan from Mullica Hill says, uh she agrees with the the Meatman. Uh she says that she's been a Redskins fan since the 60s and refuses to call them the C-word. This is This is where we are, right? He releases He gets the hostages free. He's bringing them back. We got Columbus Day. We're fixated on the on the Redskins who play in Washington. How about the Giants kicking the crap out of the Eagles the other night? That was a lot of fun. I'm not going to talk about that. Oh, you're an Eagles fan. No wonder. No wonder your house got flooded out. That was God punishing you. He sent the floods. We've been too spoiled lately. So, you know, we had to get a little bit of a a shock to our system. But, you know what? We'll be back. Yeah, we'll be back in two weeks. In two weeks, we'll be back. You know, that that was pretty good. And God sent the rains to go to the Eagle fans home, blood out their houses. How was your house? It was good. Yeah, actually. It was good. Yeah. No, honestly, it it was like the only house uh on the street that like didn't get a bunch of in their like yard like like Yeah. So, like you I saw the pictures, man. Yeah. It's crazy, right? the the house uh next to me had like the the you know doc like had like boards come up and stuff like that so like they're going to have to get like repairs like we only lost like an umbrella in the backyard a big weight on it too but it like flew in the water but yeah could be worse now what town are you in uh Avon I'm right by the uh the bridge that goes from uh Avon to Belmar like on Main Street. Uh, so yeah, it's like at the it's kind of like the bottom of a hill. So all the water goes there and then when the tide's up, there's nowhere to go. So once it goes down, it just takes a little bit to settle down. I got beachrun property in Seal City. I'm afraid to even look at it. I I saw some video last night on TV. Here's Seal City. I ain't going down there. My house is on pylons, so if anything, it went under it. Yeah. Hopefully. I wouldn't mind if my house got washed away. My insurance company builds me a new house. My h my luck every other house in the block that would happen to my house would be like where the Red Cross would station themselves. The one surviving house. Yeah. Which was built in like the early 60s, the last sugar shack in Sea Aile. But um at 1 800283101.5 uh we're talking about uh your thoughts on President Trump, your thoughts on President Trump getting the hostages released, your thoughts on President Trump bringing back Columbus Day, and uh as far as the gubinatorial election goes, um if you were to vote, the election were held tomorrow based on what you've seen, based on what you heard, you saw the debate, uh did anything in that debate change your mind one way or the of it. Was there anything you saw? Cuz at this point, uh, there really is nothing I could think of that anybody's going to say that, you know, you pretty much know who you're going to vote for and you're going to vote for them and each camp is going to go. The the polls are like practically dead even now. So, where, you know, where do we go? What can they do to win your vote? And that's why I'm thinking like the fact that uh Trump just, you know, broke a piece in the Middle East, got the hostages released, uh, at least that would have some sway one way. I don't know what you know what you can do, but 1 800283101.5. Give me a call. Give me a call about, you know, where you are right now and how you feel. If you saw the video of the hostages being released and you see how different they look, you know, how, you know, their complexions have changed and how much weight they lost. I just can imagine, you know, the what they're going to need to uh what's the word I'm looking for, you know, to to detox, to come back to uh you know, what's what's the word they, you know, when they bring back, you know, prisoners or whatever and they kind of reaclimate them to society. Yeah, it begins with it begins with a D, but I decompress maybe. But anyway, um your thoughts, you know, 1 800283101.5. This is uh this is a historic time in America. Uh we never thought we'd see this and who knows where we go from here. You know, will will we get peace? You know, will we broker a deal with Russia and Ukraine? Will we get the Redskins name back in Washington? Will we get Democrats and Republicans actually sitting together talking to each other? If Trump could broker that, would it be possible he could broker this? All right. 1800283 101.5. I'm Steve Treble. It's 8:30. Here's Danny D. All right. 1802 283 101.5. That's a subliminal suggestion. Call me Steve Trevalis. How bad did you get hit by the Nor Easter? We haven't even talked about that. Right. Coming up at 9:00, uh we've got Harry's Dog House. Harry the dog is coming in with Keith Shaw going to talk about an incredible nonprofit and things that u this support animal does for children. uh going to be a wine tasting. So stick around for that. In the meantime, like I want to talk about we had this incredible nor easter today and I we didn't get too hard in Roosevelt. It wasn't that bad. Like last night, ah what's the big deal? Then as in Jersey, you turn on the television, you find out that other parts of Jersey, like the shore got hit really hard. Like uh uh hello. How we doing? Oh, okay. Oh, we got the dog. Come on in now. What the hell? It's okay. We can do this. Come on in. I was going to wait you guys till 9:00, but you're here. Come on. What's happening? Pull up a pull, you know. Do we have to mic Harry as well? Hi. Uh, translator for a Oh, there we go. You're the translator. Okay. Uh, tell you what, let's do this. Keith, why don't you sit on that microphone over there? Okay. Okay. And Mrs. Keith Marina. Marina. All right. Marina, you come over here. Can we get a pair of headphones for Marina? You can put those headphones on. Okay. All right. And uh and this is uh I'm not seeing a pair of headphones. You're not seeing a pair of You should be You get the pair of headphones. All right. Hold on. Uh hold on. I I have two producers outside having a nice guy. Uh Charlie, can you come in here and hand Marina some headphones? Oh, you have the headphones. Give Keith the headphones. Yeah. Like that. So So this is uh And you got Harry with you now? Not Harry. Harry. Not Harry. Because he's hair. He's not fur. What kind of dog? He is a Bella doodle. Uh he's a golden doodle, but he's a very particular breed. He's called a Belladoodle, right? Yeah. So, yeah. Nice. He's 6 months old right now. He's only 6 months. Six months old. How about that? He He's achieved a lot in 6 months, though. All right. Tell us the story of Harry's Dog House. Okay. Well, Aries's Dog House started out with Marina and I having a love for dogs or in fact our whole family. We've been watching other people's dogs for many years. And it took you this long to get one. And it took us this long to get one. So, which one didn't want the dog? Oh, no. We we we always wanted we always wanted to get a dog, but with our two teenage boys with running around doing all their activities, but uh we decided that they were going to be going off to college, both of them. We're empty nesters now. Uh they're both at Liberty University down in Virginia. And we decided that we wanted to have have our own dog, but we also wanted to do something really special with that dog. We have a love for travel also. So, we wanted to be able to be able to spread some love, joy, and comfort while we are traveling. And what better way to do that than with a dog. So, we uh we did a lot of research. Look at him. He's he's beautiful. Look at him. Yeah. We did a lot of research, reviewed a lot of different breeders, and we found this breeder down in in Georgia that was absolutely spectacular. Checked every one of the boxes, and we found a phenomenal trainer. And uh Harry's actually only been in New Jersey for two weeks now. He's been training full-time down in Georgia for the last three months. So Harry's been training. Harry's been training. Yeah. Okay. Now tell it now. So basically Harry's like an emotional support dog for children, right? So yeah, so one of the things that we've been really blessed to have been able to do is to tie in with a lot of children's organizations. Right. And now what gave you the idea to do that? Well, we wanted we we've always had the passion for different different organizations and our previous charity supported a lot of the kids organizations, right? And uh we we wanted to be able to tie in with hospitals with children's hospitals and we were very fortunate to be able our first partnership is with the Ronald McDonald houses right and we have traveled all around the east coast and visited a lot of the different Ronald McDonald houses and uh it it just we we just started a great partnership with them and it it's been absolutely amazing. another organization that and we're going to talk about it tonight. Uh we're going to talk about an organization down in South Carolina called Courageous Kids. And that was a absolutely amazing amazing place. Uh in fact, I I believe they're going to call in and and talk to us tonight and and uh but um we we have we have really been blessed. It it isn't just Harry actually. We we also have a stuffed animal program. We wanted we wanted to be able to leave and not have the kids sad that Harry was was going to be leaving, right? We we didn't want it just to be a a flash and burst of of comfort. So, we actually with her organization designed a stuffed animal. It looks just like Harry. It it it's amazing how how it looks like him. But it's got something it's got something amazing in it. It has It does. We We have a heartbeat that is in it. And what it does is the kids get these. He Harry gives every one of the kids one of these stuffed animals. And it's super soft. It's super fluffy. But when they squeeze it, that heartbeat turns on and it gives them comfort. when they're sitting there having their treatments, when they're when they're feeling down, they hold that stuffed animal and that heartbeat turns on and it just gives them that comfort that that they wouldn't have without it. So, it's not just having a good time playing with Harry for an hour, right? There's something lasting with it. And that's what we wanted. We wanted to separate ourselves from being able to give them comfort, but having it having it last, not just be ending. It's all about the kids and you know you have your kids and they go to Liberty, you're empty nesters and you decide you want to help, you want to help people, you want to give back and here you are, you know, you you get one dog who's able to do so much and you connect all those dots. Did you ever imagine anything like this? Did you see this vision when you got Harry or did this kind of happen along the way? Well, I I'll be honest. I saw the vision. I wrote I wrote the vision on the back of Harry's card and 6 months before he was born, I wrote the vision of what Harry was going to be. But honestly, did I think it was going to happen this quick? Not no way. No way. It It's It's just exploded. He He I mean, look at him. He's He's absolutely You can't go anywhere without people talking to you about Harry. We walk around Princeton and we can't go five steps without somebody else saying, "Oh my gosh, look at that dog." And then we can tell the story and that that is is amazing uh what we've been able to accomplish. And he's only he's only 6 months old and we we we're uh we're not only partnershiping we don't only have partnerships with the Ronald McDonald houses, but we're also partnering with Dborah Hospital. We're doing our very first event at Dborah Hospital on the 22nd. And that is mostly with adults. There's going to be some some kids there. No adults, but just Yeah. Yeah. Just Harry. Just Harry. Harry. And Yep. And uh a lot a lot of adults, the staff, because it's important, too. We're we're we're not just focusing on on kids. Another one of the the areas that we're focusing on is veterans homes, nursing homes, and disaster areas. That is going to be one of the main the main areas is when there's a disaster area, we want to be able to pick up, get out to those shelters and have Harry there for the kids and and give them some some comfort. And when they see him, they light up, right? When they see him, it's amazing. I read some of the stories, you know, in the email and you're going to be telling some of those stories. Now, Harry's Dog House, Harry's Dog House, is a 501c3 nonprofit centered around Harry, one of the most loving, gentle dogs you'll ever meet. And the mission is to spread love, joy, and comfort, one tail wag at a time. Yes. Uh, is that as big as Harry Harry's going to get? No. Harry is going to get Well, that that's actually a tossup right now. He was supposed to get about knee high, but his weight is coming in a little lower, right? And he might get to be not quite double this size, maybe a a third more of of this size. So, um, but we're fine with that because it it makes it easy for the kids to to It's the perfect height and weight. It it is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. He's um And he's so gentle with the kids. He He's learning right now. He's learning a u a thing that we call snuggle. And what that is, a lot of these kids don't have women have known that for years. Guys in their That's true. That's why my wife came up with it. So we uh we we have a lot of these children who are not able to move their upper bodies. And when we set Harry down with these kids Mhm. we're teaching him to snuggle. And what that is after he sits down with them and they feel comfortable with him on their lap, then we'll say to him, "Snuggle." And that's what he does. How about that? So, you just witnessed it. I like that. Look at this. He came right to you. That was perfect. All right. Keith Shaw Marina 1800 283101.5 talking about Harry's Dog House and the fundraiser they've got coming up. Here's New Jersey 101.5 Fast Traffic. [Music] Just talk amongst yourselves. That's okay. Okay. We are talking with uh Harry the dog of Harry's Dog House and his master Keith Shaw and Marina.

And veterans and those who you know and those who need him. But it's an incredible story that, you know, you guys decide to get a dog and turn it into something that, you know, uh, you know, a one-man nonprofit partnering with Ronald McDonald House and so many other places. Yeah. Yeah. It it it is absolutely amazing. We talked a little bit about the the the fast success and we'd never expected it would be it would be this quick, but we we have a lot of lot of uh great great people helping. my wife Marina. I mean, look how look how adorable he looks. Unfortunately, the shot we just got. Oh, yeah. We're gonna be we're gonna be posting that. Uh, but uh my two boys, Alexander and Christopher, we've done a ton of events and they have been part of of those events. And then we've got a great board also. We've got a board of director board. He's one dog. He's got a board. He's got a board of directors. And uh we we've actually have uh about four more board of directors that are going to be coming on. People love what we're doing. It's an amazing story. People What does a board of director do with a dog? Yeah, exactly. That's a lot of direction. They tell me how I can and cannot spend the money. In that case, and and it's good I have them because I would be out there every day giving these kids the stuffed animals. They I I need I need to have the brakes put on me. So, we we've we've just been really blessed with with all the people who have rallied around us. People said when we started this, how how can one dog make a difference in the world. This one can. This one can. This one can. He's proven it. Let's get Thomas Miller on. Hi, Thomas. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how's it going, guys? Great. Hi there. Harry. Harry says hi, Thomas.

Um it's an organ it's an organization that she uh puts together for kids with terminally terminally ill um who are terminally ill. um you know, she invited us out and said this dog was coming um to her house. So, we showed up. Uh we were greeted, you know, by the family and the dog. Uh man, it's it's really hard to put into words, you know, what what the presence of just a simple dog can do. You know what? It's it's it relieves stress. It's emotional support. And it gives kids something something very physical, very real to hold on to. Absolutely. Yeah. No, Thomas, that's great stuff, man. You want to say anything to Harry while you're here? Mars, you want to say anything to Harry? I got Marley here. She's listening.

Do you still have your stuffed animal? We do still have the stuffed animal. Yeah. Yeah, we do. Um Harry came Harry came at a really good time for us. Uh we were kind of in the middle of um getting everything ready for her bone marrow transplant. Um so Harry kind of gave her a little bit of hope going into the bone marrow transplant. Um she kind of had a couple dogs visit throughout the you know we were in the hospital for 45 days. We just got out this past week and uh you know it's it's incredible what what the feeling can do. Sure kid. How did the transplant go? Uh it went really well man. It's uh I was the donor for it. Um Wow. All Yeah. All her blood work has been looking beautiful. um that her blood hasn't looked this good, you know, in the past 3 years since we started since we started treatment. So, um we think we may have found the I think we may have found uh the I don't want to say the word cure, but um it's harder to think of a different word. Well, you know what? You're on the right track. And uh thank God, you know, we pray and it works and and Harry was uh a big part of the support for that, you know, and that that's a beautiful thing. Yeah, he was, man.

Harry's Dog House. More coming up. All right, here's D. [Music] Is that right? Oh, it was so great having May Pang in here last weekend telling John Lighting stories on Wednesday night. Oh, I could talk to her all night. And uh tonight we got Keith and Mina Shaw, Harry's Dog House. Harry is a 501c3 nonprofit, a charity centered around Harry, one of the most loving, gentle dogs you ever meet. And uh basically you got to see him. He's beautiful. We take pictures with him. What kind of dog is he again? He's a golden doodle. A golden doodle. Golden doodle. Yeah. He's going to be about 30. We think about 30 lbs. Yeah. Just the right size. Just the right size kids. Now tell me the story we were speaking to earlier. Uh Thomas and was it Marne? Marley. Marley. And tell us about Marley's story. Well Marley tell you what a what a brave little girl. Uh she was diagnosed pretty young with cancer and she she bravely fought it and she was uh she went into remission and there was only a 1% chance that it was going to come back and as we heard from her dad just now that it that it did. But it didn't slow her down. I'll tell you when we brought Harry down and did the event there. Um she came in and uh what a what a great little brave girl. She was there running around playing with Harry. She found a toy and and just excited and and as as you heard from her father, this was going to be coming up with with her with her uh treatment in just another couple days. But she she what a brave girl, I'll tell you. You you could see it from her down there when when we were there. and and I you you could just see her light up with Harry. It it was amazing that I I will tell you that that is one of the stories that it will always be embedded how one dog made a difference with with that little girl Marley. You told me a story of I saw where there was a a child who just was so depressed and paralyzed and and closed up and Harry had her open up and tell that story, please. Yeah. So, um this this was an event that uh she was going through a this little girl also was going through a really really rough time and um we were at at the event and she came in a little little later and with a hoodie on with with a hoodie on and um she kind of went over in the corner uh away from the other kids and just really wasn't wasn't really interacting. And uh I picked up Harry and I I took Harry over and and sat Harry down next to her and and said, "Would would you like to pet Harry?" and she reached out and and Harry just instinctively turned turned to her and looked at her and kind of went over to her and um after after that she got both hands out and just started started playing and within a minute they were she was out with all the other kids. It happened that fast. Yeah. And and it it's stories like that. We have another we have another story where we were doing an event and uh we had a big backdrop where the event had put up a special backdrop to take pictures with Harry and there was a family there and it was a probably a a five or six year old boy and a three or four year old daughter and the everybody held Harry but the little girl wouldn't even get within a foot or two and wouldn't have a picture with her. So at after everybody took the pictures, we have the little stuffed animals and I went over to the little girl with the stuffed animal. I said, "Would you like to hold one of Harry's stuffed animals?" And she immediately grabbed it and she was down on the floor and she was hugging it. And I took Harry over and I put Harry down next to her and I said, "You see how these two look alike? They're best friends. Would would you like to also pet Harry?" And this was only a couple minutes later. She wouldn't even get near him. And she reached over and she started petting him. The parents said to me, "That is the first time she has ever touched a dog. We've been trying to get her to touch dogs." And and it was just it wasn't just Harry. And in that sense, it was the stuffed animal that gave the bridge, but it was also Harry who who gave that little girl something something special. She learned that dogs are not to be frightened about. You're going to have people crying all over the Delaware Valley right now, right? Let's get Debbie in Charleston. Hi Debbie, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. How are you? Good. Love Harry. Hi Debbie. Hey Keith. Hey Marian. This is great to talk to you. We want the dog back. Sure. Right. We will be back Debbie. You have my promise on that. Uh now tell me your story Debbie. How did you meet Harry? I got a call out of the know, an email from Keith saying um that I I had no idea what Harry was or who Harry was. They were coming to Charleston and would I give him a call. So I gave him a call and he said they were coming to Char really. I had not a clue who Harry was or what Harry was. Nothing. So anyway, we arranged for them to come to the house and I arranged for kids to come and it was magic from the first moment. From the very first moment. How about that? It it was I just can't even explain. It was just magic. So I And I had several families here. Marley came and Marley was also in a hoodie had a bone marrow transplant to do soon and she was and saw Harry and that changed everything. And then I also had another child here whose father had been killed uh the following the past November and he and his three brothers and sisters are here and I mean there's so many stories and Harry does make a difference. It's amazing that an animal can do that. You know it's absolutely amazing. They they make you feel so much better. They release so much stress and here you've got kids who were battling serious illness and Harry gives them peace. Yeah. Yeah. Comfort. It's amazing. One dog one dog can make a difference. Well, you know what it gives them is normaly. A little bit of normaly. Mhm. Absolutely. And that's that's what our goal is to give them a little bit of normaly in this world that's gone, you know, crazy. Yeah. You know, and and for the for the child just to have those moments, just to have that time. now and they were with other friends at the time too. So they we had uh I think eight kids here and they all knew each other from past events and they all it was wonderful. I bet it was wonderful. That's amazing. I It was Debbie, your organization, Courageous Kids, is amazing, too. I'll tell you, I I feel honored to have been able to be part of what you do because I I said this many times, without your organization, we we wouldn't have even known how to connect. So, what you're doing with these kids is tremendous. We're we're honored. I Well, I remember asking, how in the world did you find us? Because we're we're small. It's me, myself, and I. And myself, and I make me do it all, and then I have an assistant. We serve the state of South Carolina. Uhhuh. So, we're we're small, but we're mighty. And we make a difference for many. We have many events. We do a lot of financial aid, but we're small, but you know what? No funding. You make a difference. Always a challenge. Yeah. You make a difference. That's the main thing. Debbie, thank you so much for calling and connecting Debbie. Thank you so much. You'll hear from other parents, too. So, thank you. God bless you all. God bless you.

Uh, Home Alone is celebrating its 35th anniversary. How about that? And they're having a big uh event down in Atlantic City. And I can't believe it's been 35 years since uh Home Alone uh has been around. And I also can't believe that uh I mean McCauley Cockin hasn't aged a bit, right? He It did not go well for McCauley Cockin. I don't think it all depends. But uh what I want to ask you, how old were you when you were first left home alone? Uh and how old were your kids when they were first left home alone? Cuz for me, I got to think like I was one of the original latch key kids. Like growing up, my parents worked. So, uh Charlie the phone. So, my uh my parents I'm trying to think maybe maybe I was like 11 or 12. I mean like today if you leave a 12-year-old home alone, you know, next thing you know, Dyus is on the phone. But for me, uh, it was great because when we we moved to Malber when I was 15 and my parents were commuting from Malber up to Union City where they worked and that left me and my sister home alone. And the beautiful thing about knowing that your parents are working and this is like the 1970s. Uh I hardly ever went to school because there was no one if they were going to call the house I was going to answer the phone. So it wasn't like today. I don't know how you can get away with anything today. But back in the day you could. Uh, but I would say I'm going to say like I was home alone at 12 years old and my kids I'm trying to think of like how old were you when you started babysitting? Like when I got to mall, bro, I was babysitting at 15. So I was being I was home alone in other people's houses, maybe 14. Like what's the age? Like how old were you? And what what happened? Can you think of any funny stories that happened to you when you were home alone? Give me a funny story. I'll hook you up at the wine tasting as well. I'll give you comedy tickets. I got Catch a Rising Star. I'm going to be there this weekend with Bramnik and Eric Pototts. I got uh the Brook Art Theater November 8th, Dennis Malloy, Freddy Rabino, Buddha the Comedian. Give me a funny Home Alone story that you were involved in. Or maybe you and your friends cut school and what did you do? Because I would cut school all the time. I would cut school and like drive down to the I drive the Seaside Heights. There were times when my parents told me, "You're not going back home." Like, you know, you're not when we moved from Union City, I wanted to go back to Union City. They refused to let me go back to Union City. So, what I would do is when I got a car, I would drive to WeHawking and switch cars with my friend Phil, who was hanging out in Cliffside Park, so that I could go with his car in MGB into Union City and not be spotted. But uh 1-800283 101.5. How old were you when you were left home alone? And can you believe Home Alone is 35 years old? You know, uh my son, and that's the thing. The funny thing is like, you know, your kids think they can lie to you. They can't because um you know, I remember when I was a kid, I would try to BS my father and he'd tell me, "All right, I'm going to tell you what really happened. This that's what you tell your mother. Now I'm going to tell you what really happened." And then he was pretty much right most of the time. Charlie, you ever been How old were you when you were left home alone? Come on in. I mean, like today, like when you How old were you when your parents first left you home alone? Uh, I'd say like 11, 12. Yeah, it's about the median age, right? You know, I'd say as long as uh I knew uh not to answer the door for str from strangers, you know, and you know. So, what stupid things did you do when you were left home alone? Did you ever get in trouble? You ever do anything that would get you? You never did anything. What is wrong with you people? Lion sack. Uh, see, I did. You did? Oh, I'm old enough to admit it now, so I'm not going to get in trouble. You know, my parents are, you know, they're dead. They're not going to hear any of this. You know, they have reached They have Yes. I I have taken it to their grave, so it's over now. But I want to know like uh Home Alone stories. Have you ever had any Have you ever done anything? Uh we would have parties. I mean like you know we would go to school or not even go to school. I would hide you know leave the house and then just watch as they would leave the house and then go back into the house and then have the place to myself all day. You know take a bunch of kids who were also cutting school and uh you know hardly ever went and yet I graduated with a B average which was pretty cool. They they already knew. They knew they had no idea. Yes. The school knew I was a genius. Did you ever cut school? Uh, a few times. I I I did the Now, how did you do it? I I would kind of just like I'd wake up, feel like I'm not feeling like going, and then I would just kind of be like, "Mom, like she she she was nice, so she believed me, you know, and I was like, hey, like I'm I'm really tired today. Like I I don't feel good. So, can I not go?" And then you usually fuel her. Yeah. You know, I I you know, little fake cough, you know, sniffle, do the thing where you you put the match on a thermometer. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Well, you you rub it, you know, so it goes in. Exactly. There's a bunch of tricks you can do. Yeah. But, uh, hopefully there aren't any kids listening. Why? I don't I don't think you can do it today. Yeah. Because there's so many, you know, you know, now with email and texting and, you know, they my my wife has such a relation had such a relationship with the teachers that my kids could my kids couldn't get away with anything. My mother volunteered at the school, which really sucked. Yeah. Because then like you know I was in a Catholic school. My mother's volunteering in the Catholic school. So and in those days the Catholics the the kids the teachers could hit. So I I would get it. I I'd be in school and I'd get in trouble and then they would call me to the principal's office and the principal would knock me around. Then their mother would she'd knock me around. Go home. They tell my father. I was like dude. And then I go back to school after getting like knocked around three different times. You can answer that. After getting knocked around three different times, the kids would be like, "Ah, you don't get in trouble because your mother works in the school." Then I knock them around. But we've all got that story. All right, never mind. Call back. I'll get you on 1800283101.5. We got to We got to work out where we got the phone set up in here. If Charlie comes in here, the phones are like on the other end of the building. But um give me a call. Have you ever been home alone? Give me your home alone adventure story. Or if you want tickets to the wine tasting, just give me a call. 1 800283101.5. If you're a if you're a first responder, if you're a police officer, a fireman, firefighter, give me a call. We'll hook you up with tickets. We got some people calling in already. All right. So, uh, yeah. So, so that was basically it. Like I would, I would get in trouble. I'd get it from three different angles. Come home and find out now and get it again. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Who's this? Hey, this is Leil Luma. Hello, Leil Luma. What's going on? Nothing. I just heard the story on on the air about, you know, like cutting school and like how you'd cut school and all this other stuff. Charlie, the phone. And I feel like I had a pretty sneaky workaround when I was in like middle school, high school. Oh, you did? I want to hear it. Wow. So, I mean, in the beginning of the year, you know, when your parents go to register you and everything and then your parents the first week they have to sign a bunch of paperwork, all this other stuff. I would sign every single piece of paper and for for my parents, right? And then the only signature the school knew was technically my signature. Brilliant. So, they needed a note. Uhhuh.

My brother was 12 years older than me. He had a farm out in Blairestown, New Jersey. And I went to visit him, you know, by myself without my parents, right? And he went to work every day. And uh one day it started to get dark and he wasn't home. So I went upstairs in to the bathroom and the window was open and I just checked that, you know, the rain wasn't coming in cuz it was raining, right? And what I did was, and I didn't know this at the time, there was a phone there on the floor and I had kicked the receiver off by accident, right? I went downstairs and when he wasn't coming home, I was going to call his place of business cuz then you didn't have a cell phone. And I couldn't dial out and I started to get scared and I heard the traffic on Route 80, right? And I thought someone took the phone off the hook in the basement and I got really Oh, now you're thinking Friday the 13th, right? And they got the line. Oh no. So what'd you do? So what happened was my brother always kept the gun in the house. Get out. I No, he always kept the gun in the house. I knew what it was. My my par my parents, my father and brother always used to go to the shooting range and I took the gun out from the kitchen closet and I sat on the floor and I put all the lights on outside and the gun my brother told me, you know, if it's not loaded, the bullets were somewhere else. I put a couple bullets. You put bullets in the gun? Yes. And I sat because I knew how to do it. I sat on the floor in the kitchen. Mhm. And I was waiting and waiting and waiting and I was getting really scared. I picked up the phone again, right? And I heard the traffic from Route 80. Well, I went upstairs. I said, "I'm locking myself in the room." I saw that the phone was off the hook. That's why I couldn't dial out. But all that time I was so scared in the dark by myself.

You ever played chess? Oh, yeah. I I I was in the chess club in high school. You were? Yes. I I I'm not very good anymore. Uh but there was a time where I was pretty decent. If you play every day, Yeah. you are. Uh, do you know are you familiar with the fool's mate? Um, no. The fool's mate is a four move checkmate. Okay. Uh, have you ever done it? Have you heard of it? No. I I've heard like of the name, but I've I don't know what like how to do it. Uh, you move your bishop out, you move your horse over, you kick your pawn up, you jack your queen, done. But, uh, I used to be a dolphin trainer. I mean, I was uh I worked at Great Adventure and I was supervisor of the Diving and Dolphin shows. So, I ran the sound. Uh and a guy named Tom Brady, no, not that one, was the announcer, another guy named Rich Barts. But, um in between shows, we would go swimming with the dolphins. Great summer job, you know, a saltwater pool 15t. So, it' be a 20-minute show. Then we would uh you know put on bathing suits, jump in for like 15, 20 minutes, then jump out while they would run in the next crowd. We change back into the uniform and upstairs. Great for hot summer days, right? But the um thing with the dolphins was, you know, where was I going with this? I forget. But the uh Oh, yeah. But the, you know, by doing the diving in the dolphin shows, it was great. And when the last day of the season, we get we would take pictures. So, I got this giant chessboard and I had the trainer beach the dolphin. You know, the dolphin jump up on land and you know, we're gonna, you know, and uh do a strike a pose. And what I did, I have it in my phone. I can show it to you. What I did was I had the fool's mate set up on this giant chessboard and it looks like I'm playing chess with the dolphin and the dolphin beat me. Yeah, that was a cool picture. So, the dolphin didn't actually beat you? No, the dolphin didn't actually beat me. Okay. Okay. Although I'll tell you, we would swim with the dolphins. The dolphins were very horny creatures. Oh, they are the horniest mammals in the sea. Interesting. Yes. Nothing like trying to jump. Just swim away from a horny dolphin. I hear they're really smart as well. So, I wonder if there's a correlation. The first time I swam uh with a dolphin, you know, they're swimming around me and I grab the fin and they're taking me around the water. This is really cool. And it's a 15 foot deep saltwater drop. So, I'm holding on to the fin as it's taking me down to the bottom of the pool. And then I'm like, "All right, I'm going to let go and swim back up." Only now three of them have circled the top of the pool and they kept batting me back down. And I think I'm going to die. I'm like suffocating. And I'm like punching them trying to get up and I'm up and a dolphin like they're like laughing around me and you miserable. Um, but that's what you get for messing with them. That's Yeah, really. Don't m Don't mess with the dolphin. All right. 1-800 283101.5. Steve Trevol headlines and treadlines coming up.

Like what's Sanchez? Like 40 maybe, something like that, if that. I think he's like like late 30s. Late 30s. You got you got to fight a 69y old man. Ridiculous. Crazy. All right, what else we got? Uh yeah, so uh another thing, uh so Sopranos's uh actor, I don't know. Well, you definitely know who he is. Uh Joe Pantalino. Pantaliano. Yeah. Pantaliano. Uh so he's been on the show. Joey Pants. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's uh he he's gonna uh help raise awareness uh for Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Really? Uh yeah. And he's going to like start he's doing like a like a collection basically. Uh it says with the demand for emergency uh oh my laptop. Emergency medical services on the rise. uh one local volunteer ambulance corps is using some star power to help raise awareness and uh you know basically says the the volunteer ambulance corp was founded 50 years ago and has around uh 60 members. So what's he doing to raise the money? Uh so it seems like he's uh I'm not really sure. Oh, okay. I'm sure he's doing something there. He's using his likeness. Okay. I don't know. I guess yeah. Wow. Joe Bantiano. Let me give these guys money. This is good. All right. I had no idea you was involved in it. That's what it seems like. Okay. Does it say what he's doing? Says uh Oh, he he he's uh so he he made a video praising the response of the of the team and he uh oh when he was struck by a car in town while on a walk in back in 2020. Mhm. Uh so I guess that this uh this uh you know ambulance corps is help helped save him and he made a video you know praising them and asking you know for more support for them. Uh so more support. Okay I'll support them. I'll support about that. Uh he was on he he was um he goes from Hoboken and he when he got when he got into acting he ended up in like all the really cool rock movies of the 80s. He was in Eddie and the Cruisers. He played Doc and Eddie and the Cruisers. He was the manager in Lab Bomba. Uh I'm trying to think what else he was in, but he was in a bunch of like really cool movies. He was in that uh Christopher Nolan movie. Uh the Christopher Nolan movie. You know what I'm talking about? Which one? Uh Momento. He was Okay. Yeah. Yeah. He was like he wasn't the lead, but he was one he was one of the the lead actors in that. Uh I saw him uh on uh in New York with Constantine Morillis doing the uh the trial of Alen Freed story. Uh the story of Alan Freed who was uh the rock the dish jockey who coined the phrase rock and roll. And it's a fascinating. Have you ever seen go on YouTube uh there's a movie called American Hot Wax. Yes. And for me it's the one movie that makes me cry every time I see it. It's a story of Alan Freed was a dish jockey Cleveland out of Cleveland and he's not going he's playing classical music. this the 1950s and he starts playing rock and roll and the establishment at the time the uh you know the powers that be decided that Allan Freed and rock and roll was a threat to children so uh to the kids because they were going to start there was a devil's music and the politicians railed against it and you go to church and the pastors and the pe you know the the church the priest and all just railed railed against the evil rock and roll. So the government decides they're going to put Allen Freed out of business. Now, one of the things Allen Freed did, he had this tremendous power with kids because he was he was the only guy on the radio playing rock and roll. So all the kids listened to Allen Freed. They all loved them. And if Allen Freed told you this record was, you know, was a big hit, the kids all went out and bought it. So what was happening was you know there was a guy named Morris Levy who was u you know uh basically uh Allan was Allen was bas it was it was a depending on how you looked at it you know like Allen Freed's son was on he was accused of taking money to play the records and of being bribed and depending on how you look at it I interviewed his son Lance uh Frerieded who said you know my father never took a dime he didn't have to. He didn't need to be bribed. He had so much money. It wasn't about the idea that he got paid because like the idea was that record companies were paying him to play their record even though they the artist sucked. But when you think about it, if he did that, he wouldn't have to be listening to his show. He couldn't have done that. Yeah. And that's what Lance said. You know, my fault. He didn't need to. Um but the government wanted him out. So they invented these polar rules. basically, you know, plug hole. Like today, everybody works in radio signs this thing saying, "I will not take money to play a record." Uh Dick Clark on the other hand was making so much money that they had to make a special one for Dick Clark. Uh Dick Clark made so much money and then he got out of it and got into game shows. Uh and he was asked about it and he says, "You know what? I don't want to hear this. I had a I had a s I was on 90 minutes a day, five days a week with no budget. I had to do what I can to raise money to keep that show going. And like with Dick Clark, if the people who appeared on the Dick Clark show, like the bands who appeared never got paid, they would they would immediately sign their checks over to Dick Clark. And think about that just for the exposure of getting on on the show. that you can make you get the exposure, you can make all you want from your personal appearances, what they called record hops back then, you know, concerts and all that. But, you know, I mean, think about it. The NFL today doesn't pay anybody for halftime. No, the halftime performer doesn't get paid. That's why Taylor Swift doesn't need to do it. But, um, what do you think of Bad Money do in the NFL halftime? Um, I mean, I personally don't listen to his music, but I don't think it's really for me. Uh, I think if they're trying to get more people from Yeah, cuz they don't have enough in the NFL. Yeah. No, no, they hardly have anybody listening that show. I always thought it was Bugs Bunny. What's up, Doc? I didn't realize it was Bad Bunny. But Bad Bunny won't come to this country because he doesn't like the immigration policy, but Bad Bunny will come to this country going on Saturday Night Live. That is true. So, you know, uh, to which I ask, what's up, Doc? Just just wondering. All right, but now we're now we're all over the road, right? I'm telling you now this is like uh let's go back to we bring the Redskins the Redskins again. What the hell? All right 180 to 283 101.5. One more segment of headlines and tread lines are coming up. Here's fast traffic. [Music] [Music] All right. 1800 283 10145 Steve Treble. The final segment with Charlie Mayer. What's up? All right. Hey, what's up? Give me more runaround. All right, so we have big news in the streaming. Big news. Yes. Apple TV Plus has officially changed their name to what? Okay, so the streaming service, now called Apple TV, announced the change Monday at the bottom of a press release. They're no longer Apple TV Plus. They became Apple TV. Yep. Boy, that's big news. And they called it their vibrant new identity. Yeah. Great. What's going to be So, wait a minute. You would figure like if they were Apple TV, then they would go Apple TV Plus, making you believe there was going to be so much more. Yeah. So, now they're going to tell you there's so much less. That's that's that tends to be what happens. They uh we add until we decide to strip away. Uh because it seems like all these other services like you know Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, Discovery Plus, AMC Plus, they were all channels with just get didn't have the PL. Yeah. Yeah. Plus what? And and now now they give you a bundle to where you get four of them in one subscription. So why why don't we just get cable back? It's basically the same thing. Do you have cable? Uh we have YouTube TV. So it's it's through the internet, but it's you get channels. Do you like YouTube TV? I literally only watch it for football. So I guess So that's it. Yeah, I because I use streaming for anything else. If I'm going to watch a show or then why didn't you Oh, so you got the YouTube for the Sunday T. Yeah, that that's my my family. I just I just use theirs. So And they have YouTube TV. Yeah, they still watch like like my parents still watch the the live TV. But I just think from my experience and I spend like close to oh my god $500 a month between the cable and all the streaming services. I I think it's all evil because I'm afraid to make the switch because as soon as I make the switch, next thing you know like you know you can never reach anybody, you can never change anything. It's it's more of a hassle. It's it's like dealing with the phone company. Yeah. Every time you make a move, your bill goes up. You don't even know why. It's like, can we lose this? Can we lose that? Can we lose this? And the next thing you know, you walk away and you got a bill and it's higher than, "Wait a minute. Why? What did I just do here?" And they make you think you're getting a deal. Yeah. And And when you when I think about it, like I hardly It's hard to find good shows. Yeah. Uh I watch um I just watched this great thing on Netflix called Black Rabbit. I've heard of that. I heard that's good. I haven't seen it. Law and Jason Baitman. Really good. It's eight episodes and it's not going to be that's it. No, no season two. Eight episodes. That's it. Yeah. Uh it was fantastic. No, that's nice. I would recommend it. There was good ones. I think the the problem is there's so many of these streaming services now that like it's almost overwhelming that you can't even pick something. Like I'd rather just have like the the 20 DVDs I have, you know, at my house. You collect You have DVDs? Yeah, I have like a few Blu-rays. You kind of thing just because, you know, I could still play them on my PlayStation and they honestly look better than you're watching them on the TV. Well, you know, and you own them. It depend. I got Dude, I got VHS and DVD and all. I mean, I was talking to a guy who's in his like mid-40s and he was telling me that there's Gen Gen X, right? He says they feel screwed by technology. M he goes because you know like in the 80s you know everything was going to kill radio albums going to kill radio cassettes were going to kill radio you know but you go out and you buy the record and for years it was buy the record the next thing you know in the 80s everything switched to CDs so people dumped their albums and went out and bought CDs and then like within minutes the CDs became obsolete. It was cassettes and then CDs and then suddenly Napster came in and nobody it all went became obsolete and now it's all downloads. So all these CDs, all these VHS VHS and DVD now it's all on you know it's all streaming. Yeah. And you know it's like we kept buying all this stuff. Mini discs. Remember you ever heard of a miniisk? Yeah. Little Yeah. Or or the laser disc? It's like an album. There was a movie, you know, you flip it over. Uh but all this technology that people laid out big bucks for to stock up and within a few years it was all obsolete. Yep. And now it's all you know in the streaming. But the problem with the streaming is that you don't you don't own it. No. You're buying a license to watch it that they already own like Yeah. But you can only do that for as long as they have it. So, like if you're a fan of Cheers and they don't, you know, they don't put that on the streaming service, you're screwed. And they jump around all the time. Like Seinfeld is here, then it's over here, then it's over there. Yep. And they also have like like I know on Hulu, it's always funny. In Philadelphia, they like, you know, it's been going on forever, 20 years. So, there's some episodes that they, you know, think are you a little bit not appropriate for today, I guess. Uh, really not. They're, you know, like they're they're fine to watch. I don't know why they really took them away, but uh they, you know, took them off of Hulu. So like yeah, you'd only be able to watch. There's like three episodes that aren't on Hulu because of how whatever they were about really. And uh Yeah. So So you figure the streaming service wouldn't care. Yeah, you'd think so. But I guess they they don't want people to, you know, complain or try to cancel them or whatever. So but but if you own is part of Disney, that makes sense cuz Disney's all Exactly. And and and if you have, you know, if you but you film the DVD, you have that forever and you could play it on anything that plays DVDs. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, great job by you tonight. Thank you. Let's get out of here. [Music]
