Oh crap, there's more of them. Hey, come on. There's people from Jersey all over. Who here is from Jersey? You know, there's an outro on the party for the alley. Who needs a house? I can't forget the grocery. I can't walk home every day. Over by a good bridge. Cuz down the shore everything rings around. The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon. There we shore. [Music] What do you hear? What are you saying? Live from New Jersey. It's Dinsky and More on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, hello. Good afternoon. It's Jeff and Kylie with you. I'm Jeff Daminsky. I'm Kylie Moore. Uh 1 800283101.5. Yeah, it's another $1,000 at work payday. uh chance for you to be registered to win a,000 bucks if you just listen for the code.

We have four chances uh throughout the uh afternoon show here for you to uh try to win the $1,000. So, I was going to direct everybody to the website for the article I'm supposed to have up about uh Cameron Diaz, but um but there's nothing up. So, I Yeah, the articles I wrote for today are not up on the website, but I'll just tell you about it anyway. Um Cameron Diaz is in New Jersey. Uh she is um she is doing a movie shoot here and she is apparently going to be all over the state. And you know what's kind of crazy is she is um she is coming off a long hiatus of 10 years. She just got out of acting and it was apparently by choice. She got married. She had a couple of kids and she just walked away from it. Yeah. I think the last movie she did was Annie, I want to say. Well, she did something apparently. Um well, I don't have my article to refer to so I can't tell you that. I know she it would be in your email. She she did uh she did something uh she did something prior to this one. Um but yeah, this one that she has coming out is called Bad Day, and it's a comedy. Ed O'Neal is also in it. She's basically playing a a single mom who's trying to fulfill some sort of promise to her kid on like one of the worst days of her life when everything is going wrong. And uh that's kind of all I know about it. but it's in the middle of production right now and she's going to be in places like she's already been in Payic, she's going to be in Perth Amboy, she's been all over the place. Uh, so this is almost like one of those Adam Sandler things where you're going to like you were seeing Adam Sandler everywhere. Apparently, you're going to be seeing uh Cameron Diaz everywhere around the state of New Jersey, more in North Jersey, it sounds like. And so I was wondering um not about her necessarily, but anytime that you ever were not expecting to, but you had one of those celebrity encounters. I love hearing those stories because it's got to be such a surreal moment when you're not at a book signing, you're not at some, you know, VIP backstage thing, so you don't know that you're about to see uh a certain celebrity, but then they're just there. they're in the aisle in a grocery store and there's Harrison Ford picking up pancake mix, you know, or whatever the situation might be. Um, you see Seth Meyers just walking down the street in New York City and you're like, I can't believe that's actually you. I thought it was just somebody who looked like you. But who has had some kind of celebrity encounter that you could tell us about? 1 800283101.5. would love to run into Cameron Diaz, by the way, because I'm one of those lame people, those lame millennial women who kind of did like the Charlie's Angels movies. Are they great? No. Have I seen them many times? Absolutely. Really? Mhm. Yeah. I never saw a single one of them. Uh, save your time, but I like them. But you like them? Yeah. Yeah. She got um back in the day, uh, she got a big paycheck for that. She got like 20 million bucks for that. Oh, I know. I know. And it's pretty bold that you just like walk away from the career like that. But I mean, I'm sure she had money in the bank. I doubt she was stupid with her money. And now she's starting to make movies again. And she's 53, so she's obviously going to be taking on different kinds of roles. I mean, like, she's playing a mom now. Makes sense. Still very pretty, but uh it's going to be different kind of uh roles, but she'll she'll be there for it. But yeah, I I'm pretty sure I ended the things talking about like how how long before Cameron Diaz and Adam Sandler run into each other in a Jersey coffee shop because like he's been all over the place as well. You've been writing a ton of articles about all of his sightings around uh around the Garden State. So, have you had one? And it doesn't have to be in New Jersey. It could have been elsewhere. It could have been New York City. It could have been on an airplane somewhere. It doesn't matter. But tell us about a time that you came across a famous person and you were not expecting to. And did you have the guts to approach them? Did you just have a sighting? You know, you jump on your phone, you text all your friends, maybe you take like a surreptitious picture of them from afar, or did you actually communicate with them? And how were they if you actually did uh try to chat them up? 1 800283101.5. Dave and Brick, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi Dave. Hi. How are you? Good. Yeah, I was working in the city at Lincoln Center with one of my workers and Tony Bennett walks up to us asking directions. Now, did you recognize him right away, Dave? Oh, absolutely. I didn't realize he was that short, but what a grip on him. When he shook my hand, he took a moment to talk to us and we had a really, really nice conversation and then we sent him on his way. But it was a it was a nice experience with him. What What Wait a minute. How long ago was this? Okay. Oh, this had to be good 15 years ago. Okay. But he was still I mean he was still up there in years and yet he had a really strong handshake. Huh. I was blown away by how powerful his handshake was. Almost like he had done construction or something instead of what he did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He had he had a powerful handshake. What was he was a really really nice downto-earth guy. He took the time even though he was in a rush to to spend the time with us. What was the conversation? I know it was quick, but you said you had a nice conversation with him very briefly. What do you remember what it was about or not? We would just thanked him for all that he did and that, you know, we really enjoyed his music and stuff and he he appreciated it and he just was lost. They didn't know where they were going and we directed him to where he needed to be. Nice. That's sweet. That's a sweet story. I always like uh I always like the stories about him and Lady Gaga, how they got to be like really really tight friends and you know decades apart in age, but they really seem to respect each other and they've worked together and yeah, that was really nice. Oh, you could tell I forget what award show it was that I was watching, but you could just tell the reverence that Lady Gaga had for Tony Bennett. Ah, rest in rest in peace, Dave. Thanks for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right. If you've had one of these, let us know about it. What is a celebrity encounter? Who Who did you come across? Michelle in Tennessee. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, are you calling from Tennessee or are you in New Jersey and you're just from there? No, I'm in I'm in I'm in Avon by the Sea. Okay. Oh, wait. So, wait a minute. Did you never say Tennessee? I never said Tennessee. It's hard to hear. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It says on her screen, Michelle from Tennessee. I was going to I was going to ask you stupid questions about listening on the app. I'm sorry. All right. So, Michelle from Avon, by the way. So, who did you come across? John Stewart. Uh, where, when, how, what, why? So, I ran into him so many times. I think he probably thought that I was a stalker. The first time I ran into him, the first time I ran into him was at Toys R Us on Route 35 in Eaton Town. It's not there anymore. Yeah. And then so that was about let's see my daughter was probably five. She's 20 now. That was about 15 years ago. Did you speak to him when you saw him? I did. I just said hello. I didn't bust the shops or anything. He was very friendly. But once people I was in line with him once people realized who he was. There were people were starting to get a little weird. But he was very friendly. He was super cool. Then the following week I saw him at the Red Bank Armory where I used to take my daughter ice skating. He used to take his daughter every Sunday ice skating at the same time. Did he Okay, this was only a week later. Did he remember seeing you a week earlier in the Toys R Us? I don't know. I don't know. You know what? I when I saw him ice skating, I just said hi and I kept it moving because I didn't want to He was there with his daughter and she was like five or six years old, right? He was a terrible ice skater. He was falling all over the place. He was just like a regular dad, you know, with his daughter. You know, that almost makes it better. If he was like really talented at ice skating, I'd be mad. Yeah. Yeah. Like he wants somebody as talented as he is at everything else to be poorly talented at something. A flaw, right? Exactly. Exactly. So, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right. Don't forget we've got cash code coming up and we'll take more of your stories about celebrity encounters at 1800283101.5 219.

Well, yeah, but not only what was he like, but wait a minute. That's where he reported was Fort Dicks. How do I not know that? I don't know why you don't know, but my father was in the military. He was military police and I was a young kid. And my father came and got me at Fort Dicks, I mean at Peton and took me to the Flamingo Club on Fort Dicks. And Elvis Presley, he was in the military. He was there playing that night. you know, even though he went, you know, he was at basic training and all that, right? And uh my father took me in the back of the club, my father was in a military police uniform and he walked up and he said, "Hey, Elvis, can you sign this album for my son?" So Elvis introduced himself and he signed the album, spoke a couple words, and then I left. What was that like? What was that like meeting this legend? Well, I was I think I was around 12 or 14 years old. It was it was quite an experience you know I mean at that time you know he was you know well known he was very young you know it was and you know going into a a club you know where people were you know they had music playing and drinking beer and all the smoking no doubt back then yeah oh yeah yeah it was quite an experience that is so cool and especially 12 to 14 years old I mean you're very musically aware by then like if you're seven maybe but at 12 to 14 and And I mean, Elvis Presley, he was at the height when he got when he got called up. Exactly. Exactly. And to top it off, I still have the album that he signed. I wonder what that would go for. I was going to say, did you I mean, not not that you would part with it, but did you ever have it appraised to see what it might go for? I had it appraised years ago, probably 25, 30 years ago, and they were saying probably where anywhere, if I remember, $6 to $8,000. Wow. I wonder how much more it would be by now. But you you'll never sell it no matter what. I mean, unless you were absolutely No, it's it's it's locked up in a safe. It's, you know, it's like money in the bank. You know, my grandkids can have it. Uh, right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, especially the way you got it. I don't know if you could verify that, but I mean, yeah. on the base. My father My father came and got me, picked me up in a military jeep because it was only like maybe 15 minutes outside of Fort Dixs where we live. Yeah. And he took me and that the club used to be around what they used to call Doughboy Loop, which was a parade field and it was uh the the Flamingo Club and there was also the the bus station was around Doughboy Loop. So I I remember, you know, a lot of it even afterwards. Yeah. Afterwards, when I hit 18, I joined the military and I started at Fort Dicks. Wow. There you go. Oh, what a great story, Roy. Maybe you slept in the same bunk. Who knows, right? Who knows? Roy, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right, so we're talking about this because I've got an article coming up at some point. Uh, it'll be, I guess, up later on nj115.com about Cameron Diaz. She's all over New Jersey. She's going to be here a while. They are in the middle of producing a movie called Bad Day and it's going to be uh it's listed on IMDb already as comedy and action and I don't know what the hell goes on. That's really all I know. Uh but yeah, she's going to be probably seen quite a lot over the next couple of weeks or months. So, who is somebody who's a famous person that you had some kind of chance encounter with? Who did you run into? 1 800283101.5. I did not have the stones to go up to talk to Alec Baldwin when I saw him in a restaurant. I uh Is it a boo? He seems like someone you should be afraid of. You know, as long as you weren't dressed like a flight attendant, I think you'd be fine. Isn't that Isn't that usually where he loses his you know what is on a is on a plane? Isn't there at least two stories maybe that are on a certain movie set or that or that? Yeah. But no, this was a restaurant in New York City and it was may maybe a table away. Like I was within 10 ft of Alec Baldwin. Yeah. And I just I I didn't want to bother him. I'm a huge 30 Rock fan. I love a lot of his work, but he was already talking to someone who it seemed like he knew, but I couldn't quite tell what the vibe was. It wasn't the people who he was with. He was just like standing at a table talking to someone. I was like, I'm not interrupting Alec Baldwin. He could kill me in a second. Had you had the vibe from little bits and pieces that you would have overheard that it was just another fan? I don't mean to say just, but like not somebody that he knew. Would you have felt more emboldened to then maybe approach him also? Like was the fact that he clearly knew this person on a personal level kind of making you feel like, well, yeah, but he's talking to them, but yeah, I'm kind of like less than, so I'm not going to try. You know what I'm saying? I think based on who he is the my Mark Wahlberg theorem just based on who he is I would not approach him. Is there any circumstance under which you would approach Mark Wahberg? No. I know you're freaked out. I fear him. I know you're freaked out by Wahberg. I know. All right.

And, uh, jumping off 295, getting on Harding Avenue, there's a little restaurant on the right hand side. As soon as you get off, it's called Romans, and it's a really, really nice place from the outside. So, I figured I was hungry. Want to get something to eat. So, I get myself a sandwich, sitting at the booth by myself. Place is packed. I had the booth to myself and all of a sudden this guy walks up to me and says, "You mind if I sit down with you and have my sandwich right with you?" And I said, "Uh, sure." I didn't look at the guy's face. And uh before I realize it, he sits down and he starts eating and I look at it and I deduced it was Bruce Willis. You ate with John Mlan? Yeah, John Mlan. And uh I didn't I said real quick, I got to do some real quick thinking. And I said, "Yeah, I'm not going to say anything." And he's eating and he's halfway through his sandwich and I'm halfway through mine and he says, "Um, I really appreciate what you're doing." And I said, "Um, what do you mean?" I It's no problem. It's an empty seat. He goes, "No, no, no. You're not hassling me." No. And he says, "I can't tell you how many times it's so difficult for me to just grab a bite without someone just, you know, you know, asking me to sign autographs." And we started talking as people, which is really great. And it turns out that his father also is in that facility where my dad was. And his sister Yeah. his sister lives right down the road on Harding Avenue. Right. There's a police station on the right hand side. His sister lives off to the left off the road. And we exchanged phone numbers and we became friends and uh way. No, I I mean and has we never talked about his movie. He says, "You're not going to ask me anything?" I said, "No." I said, "I'd rather get to know you as a person." Nice. And yeah, and that really made that really rung home true to him. Yeah. And uh he said, "Look, every time I'm in the area, we're going to go out to dinner and it's on me and I don't want to hear it." I said, "No, I'm not going to do that. You don't allow me to pick up my part at times in your part." And so we started doing that and um uh I don't have any more access to him because of the current problems that he had. Yeah. Yeah. When's the last time you with with everything that the poor guy's going through, when's the last time you had any clear communication with him? Couple years ago, probably two. Yeah, I I'd say about uh Yeah, about four years ago would be the best time. Yeah. And then the thing is, you know, he's such a real person. He used to live in Pensrove, New Jersey. Sure. And on that same road, if you just get off 295 and go down and pass that restaurant we met at, go over Broad Street, there's a doctor's house when he was growing up in that town that he said, "One day I'm going to own that house." And he did. And he put a helipad in there. And he told me the whole story. And that's when he was married to Demi Moore and um and and his and his kids and all. Uh and and he he said, "Look, let's go down and take a look at the house." And I looked at the house that he owned. And he of course at that point it had been sold already. And so I got to know the real Bruce Willis. He told me the story about his dad and being him being born I think it was in Germany. Yeah. Yeah. He was an army brat. Yeah. Yeah. He's an army brat. Yeah. And and he real person. And you know it's one of those things that you say I like to make friends with that guy but it'll never happen because he's a famous celebrity. It's not true. You can do it if you approach it the right way. Wow. This was the best story we could have ended on. I'm so happy to hear this. amazing story and you know on I know he's your friend not the celebrity to you so I'm sorry for what your friend is going through so yeah wow true that's a great point we're going to have Rick's news coming up in 4 minutes on New Jersey 101.5 Franco so how's your back this is the story of the one as head of maintenance at a concert hall he knows the show must always go on that's why he works behind the scenes ensuring every light is working the HVAC is humming and His facility shines with Gringanger supplies and solutions for every challenge he faces, plus 24/7 customer support.

Don't app chat message the code. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not in the chat, right? You could absolutely, right? Use the app, but but Right. Yeah. Yeah. Don't Yeah. Sorry if I Yeah, I meant just saving those emails. Yeah, I meant for just communicating your thoughts about topics to us, not not for that uh contest. Um, but there is uh there is something that is going on in a town in Ocean County that is making me want to ask a rather awkward question because I know that a lot of people they think that deer are uh very pretty, that they are beautiful, it's part of nature, blah blah blah. But my question, as awkward as it is, is it time that New Jersey declares an allout war on deer? greatly expand the hunting season, greatly increase the hunting limits, maybe even, and I know it seems crazy, maybe even pay hunters to get back out there because we have fewer and fewer people that are actually hunting or take especially taking up hunting. And this one story about a town in Ocean uh in Ocean County, it really makes me uh think the deer population seems to be taking over one Ocean County community, leaving some residents looking for answers. Um a woman and her husband moved to Holiday City, Berkeley, in Tom's River to try to downsize and live a more stress-free life. And the story goes on to talk about how they are more stressed out than ever because the deer have multiplied and multiplied again and it is just insane in their town and in their neighborhood. Uh she was saying that they just made it in the summer. First we had twins, then we had triplets, now we have quadruplets. And I think they're going to mate again in October. and she loves animals and she loves the new home, but she literally is spending all their free time trying to clean up deer waste and the deer waste is attracting flies. They can't even enjoy the yard that they moved into. Uh the warm weather came and it smelled horrific. Um there are there are so many deer. She says you will find 20 deer on their lawn. Just their lawn alone. uh driving down the street is a nightmare. They're in the roads. They are everywhere. And this story just goes on and on about that. It's a it's a story on News12 New Jersey. And uh and I was reading that and I just thought that's just one town. And there are so many people that have had the unfortunate experience of hitting a deer with their car. And it's dangerous. It's definitely costly. I mean, usually you're going to fare okay if you hit a deer, but it's always a risk, but your car is not. And the cost of auto body work today, if you're lucky enough to not have it totaled, sometimes your car is completely totaled from totaled from a deer strike. And we just have too many deer. The population is out of control. Um, you know, we we have had limits put on uh uh uh hunting in the past and is time that we just do something. And I know it's probably not popular because people think, "Oh, they're so pretty. Oh, I'm going to put, you know, corn out. I'm going to feed the deer. Whatever." Yeah, they are pretty, but there are too darn many of them and it's causing tens of thousands of traffic accidents. Should we just declare outright war on deer? 1 800283101.5. I'm all for supporting um some sort of hunt for the deer or upping the hunt, if you will, because it's not um frivolous, if you will. Like, we can use their meat. It's not like we're just killing to kill, right? We're downing a population that needs to be lessened. Yeah. And it can feed people. I really don't see a downside other than, oh, they're cute, right? Oh, no. It's Bambi, right? and and and they are, but at some point and especially in government, you've got to be practical. You got to park, you know, you got to curb your emotions from it. And uh and yeah, the deer population, I mean, just like the bear population, we had the same problem there, but the deer population is so out of control. And um and we're going to be soon getting into that time of year. I mean, I'm not saying we're there yet, but it is now October and we're soon going to be dodging a lot more of them. But it's not just this mating season where they're running out in traffic. I mean, it's a little worse. Yeah. But it's any time of year. And honestly, I know they talk about dusk and dawn, and yes, there's something to be said about that, but I've also seen it any time of day. Uh, and it's very, very dangerous for drivers. And it's not great for deer when you have an overpopulation. I mean, not their fault. They're just doing what nature tells them to do, but you end up having a significant number of that deer population uh, not able to sustain itself, starving to death in the cold, in the snow, in the winter. And it's a much more brutal way to go rather than just, you know, quick lights out. Uh, I want to compare it to Soprano style, but that just popped in my head. No, make it Jersey. Go for it. Yeah. I mean, you know, to Jerseyify it, you know, make it Soprano style. You don't know anything. Screen just goes black like the final episode. Yeah. Derek gets whacked. Right. Exactly. Uh but it just it seems unreasonable when you've got these when you've got this many deer, this many car crashes because of deer. Uh just an ever growing deer population to say, "Well, we know fewer and fewer people are hunting, but we're still going to just keep it to a couple of days and we're going to limit you to so many deer kills." Just open it up, man. 1 800283101.5. Christina in Tom's River. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. So, um, you know, I've lived in Tom's River for close to 20 years. Yeah. Uh, and the one thing that I've noticed is it really has nothing to do with the deer population. It has to do with overpopulation and us ripping forests out. How many open spaces have been decimated? How many new developments on five, six acre lots are being built? I just watched like four of them pop up in the last five years. So, is it really the fact that there's too many deer or is it the fact that they were just killing all of their natural resources? And also 1015 years ago and probably in recent times, New Jersey did give licenses out very specifically to juveniles as well for free to encourage more hunting when the population is out of control. But is the population out of control or are we just killing every place that they could go? Well, the population I mean it Okay, but you know what? Here's the thing. It's both. You're not I was going to say both can be true. Yeah, you're you're you're not wrong, but um the white-tailed deer population in the Garden State specifically has increased dramatically in recent decades and it's exceeded a sustainable level. Um, so I mean both are true and I mean you know these are these are legit bonafide reports that I that that I'm reading those numbers from. It has definitely I mean we've got I think I was reading uh if I scroll back like in Yeah. Okay. Two years ago in 2023 around 115,000 deer. It's too many. They can't even sustain themselves. And I appreciate what you're saying. That's got to be that's got to be part of the conversation. But I think, you know, if you stop right now, we still have a problem. We still have too many deer and it's only going to get worse, I think, if we don't do something other than just stopping all the construction. Christina, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. And realistically, can you just stop with a with the economic engine that New Jersey is and so many people? Yeah, a lot of people move away, but a lot of people still fill those places and they still come here and it's most one of the most congested spots on the planet. and we've got a housing shortage. The fact that we've got this housing shortage is also why young couples uh cannot afford to even get out of their parents' homes and get even the crappiest little starter home because it's artificially inflating all the prices because we don't have enough homes. So, is it realistic to just say, "Well, we're just not going to build anymore. We're going to stop it right here." I don't know what the answer is. I think I know what part of the answer is, though. And I do think part of it is taking more deer, callulling the herd better than we are. 1800283101.5. Here's fast traffic again. Hot off the bench press. This is the story of the one.

Sad woman keeps trying to get into the wrong car in the parking lot she's at every day. Watch Dope try Wrong Car three days in a row at work. Acton, I'm coming for you. Should you ever release the tapes. Now, I've I've got a stat here, and I'm not making these numbers up, okay? We're talking about whether, and I know this sounds dramatic, but I really do mean this. Do we need to have an allout war against deer in New Jersey? Has it really gotten that bad? And we're going to be approaching another deer car collision season. It is October now, but this is from the New Jersey Farm Bureau. Okay, it's from new jerseybureau.org and it says the following. A sustainable and healthy deer density according to wildlife biologists is 5 to 15 individual deers per square mile. Remember that number, 5 to 15 per square mile. An infrared deer population survey that was conducted by environmental services, it discovered New Jersey averages 112 deer per square mile. Whoa. Sustainable and healthy would be between 5 to 15. New Jersey on average is 112 and the deer population in certain areas is as high as 270 per square mile. Now go ahead and tell me we don't have a problem. I'm going to make a very very niche reference. This feels like the scene or the chapter in Jurassic Park the novel where they realize how out of control the raptor population have got has gotten where they think there's only 12. But then they adjust the numbers to be like, "Well, you're saying that it should only be as much as 12. What if you say it should be more than that?" And then they realize there's like 270 or something, right? Yeah. That's how this feels, right? Right. I mean, it's not even good for them. In other words, that's the thing. That's what people got to park their emotions about and realize they're not even going to be able to sustain themselves. They're going to have diseases. They're going to have starvation. They're fighting for territory. Not quite the way a bear is going to fight, but I mean, you know, they're on the move. And what happens when they're on the move? People could get hurt with their cars. Their cars are definitely getting totaled. So, do we need to do more longer hunts? Uh, not cap the limits, not have limits, maybe. I don't know. Whatever ideas, but do we need to declare war on deer? 1800283 101.5. Rick in West Creek, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how are you guys doing? Hey, we're good. Well, I love you guys. I listen to you every day. Two things. Just It's funny you are on this topic because I live in West Creek and it's, you know, very wooded area. Mhm. And I've been noticing the last few days, so I started taking count. And since yesterday, I've seen 15 deer on the side of Route 9 from Tucker to Manahawking. Mhm. On the side of the road dead, so obviously somebody hit him. Jeez. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And now, and you brought up Silver Ridge Park and Holiday City in Berkeley, right? I work a lot in there. I have a roofing company. Mhm. And all of my customers have all of their trees covered in like wire fencing and and you just drive through there and there's herds of them coming through 10 12 at a time, right? I mean, at my house, I have a herd that comes through every day, twice a day. They go one way and then in the evening they go back to wherever they're going. You know, I don't hunt, so I just let them go. So then what do you do about it though? I mean there's clearly too many. Way too many. So let the guys hunt. All right. So you agree. You agree. Okay. Yeah. No, I agree with you. I mean, you know, somebody's hitting all these deer. Like I said, there was like 15 deer in the last two days that I when I started counting. Well, I mean, I'm sure there's plenty more. And as Kylie pointed out, uh this this is good meat. It's one of the healthiest meats you could have. Even if uh even if you don't want it, hey, donate it to homeless shelters. You could be doing some good for human beings. It's also going to make the deer population healthier by thinning the herd. It's going to make a healthier deer population. Nothing but silver linings. Rick, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. But people just got to get over that emotional tug, though. So, we want to know, do we have to do more about deer? Do we need to declare allout war on deer in New Jersey? 1800283101.5. I think we should give a $100 gift.

You know, when that deer hit you on 195 several years ago, that was your old car. You recently got a new one that we've talked about, but your car was never right after that. Like, I know they repaired it and they did it the best they could, but didn't you start like, wasn't it after that that you started having even more mystery sounds and everything? It was like never quite right. Honestly, I think the sounds might have come after I hit the raccoon, which was what? Before or after? It was after. That's That's the the injury that had the car held together by duct tape. All right. Well, then let's declare war on raccoons then. Honestly, I'm fine with that. Let's throw possums in the mix as well. No, actually, no, actually, I'm joking because I don't have those numbers. I don't know. But I do have the numbers on the deer thing. And um what what set me off on this is uh News12 New Jersey, they had this on their website, how uh there is one section of Tom's River that is so problematic for an overcrowding of deer that people are not even able to drive down their streets. They're not able to use their lawns. They're spending all their free time just trying to like clean their soil lawns from all the deer. I mean, it's insane. And it just goes to show. And then I looked further into with the Farm Bureau, we we've probably got like nine times more deer in New Jersey than would be healthy. I mean, it it like by tens of thousands, that population is overpopulated. So, should we declare an allout war? Should we lift limits when hunting? Should we expand the hunting season? Maybe even pay people to hunt because it seems like nobody wants to do it anymore. 1800 283101.5. Sammy, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi, I'm from Monmouth County, not Ocean County. Okay. And I totally agree with your callers that when I first moved here 20 years ago, you'd see one deer across the road, it is literally herds of deer. Yeah. You see the mama, the papa, the babies. It's they're all over the lawn. I have sons that are hunters. So yes, we have guns and they are very responsible hunters. The laws and regulations in New Jersey are very very strict um and rightfully so, you know, but um opening up the deer season. I know two people that would be extremely happy. Um I've had they're very responsible with hunting. Um they've actually hit deer. We've been on that end of the fence where they their car has struck a deer. Um, and like you said, this caused severe severe damage to the car where it was undrivable. Um, even I live on a side street off of a side street and people are have to wait for the deer to cross the street. They're they're not even afraid anymore. You walk out and they used to scatter. Now they just stand there and look at you. And part of that part of that is we have overdeveloped. We we we keep building more. And so yes, their land, their wooded areas are fewer and fewer. And so they're kind of like pushed into more populated areas where they get desensitized to us. They realize, oh, they're not going to do anything. Ah, it's just some stupid humans. Ah, well, and so Right. You're right. They won't scatter anymore. They don't have that natural fear. Too confident, right? They're Oh, they're they're I'mma get it. Deer are to the point of being cocky now. They're so confident, right? Uh so, no, Sammy, I agree with you. I agree with you. And and the thing is, when people say, "Well, we need to stop taking their land." They're right, but they're right, but it's not stopping the population from exploding. Like the more we built, it's done nothing for them to somehow naturally begin to limit or adapt and reproduce less. They're reproducing more. So, it's kind of like a double whammy. Also, just like go to Pennsylvania. There's so much room over there. As if they have a map like like like the deer is. Tick tick tick tick. Where's map quest? All right, let me pull that up. How do we get there? Hey, you know there's a bridge in uh Lambertville. Let's take that. If I could just have like a quick 15inute talk with them, I can convince them to go to Pennsylvania. If you could be like one of those Disney princesses where you could communicate with the animals. Oh, would love. Sammy, thank you for calling Jersey 101.5. Kylie would be like the Poconos, guys. You'd love it there. It would be a vulgarity ridden song. What do you mean a vulgarity written song? You've you've heard me off the air, right? Like get the you know what out. Gotcha. There's so much you know what space. I gotcha. Uh Michael in Sussex, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. Good. Good afternoon. Uh so preface this. I'm actually uh I'm from New York State and I actually have my lifetime hunting license in New York where I have uh 70 acres out towards Cobalt Skill, which is near Coopertown, New York. Nice. Coopertown. No kidding. Yeah. Yeah. It's near Oniana Cobalt Delhigh. That whole little area. It's all above uh Albany. But you know, you mentioned before about the overdevelopment. I mean, just in the trade zone uh near Mount Olive, I mean, they wiped out the entire wooded area for the deer. I mean, it's overop. I mean, we're just getting rid of land, so there's nowhere else to go. But the the couple things that you can do, one is increase the limits of the the hunters themselves, how much they're able to shoot during the year. Uh for myself, I'm able only to get one buck. Uh and then once in a while, I I can apply to get a dough permit. So allows me to get two per season. Increase the limits so the hunters can get more than one because most of the hunters are getting the they're using it for food and for the entire year. Absolutely. Two, you could two incre uh increase uh the differences of the the weapons that they're you're allowed to use in New York State. They're just allowed now you can start using crossbows. And that that was quite a few years ago. And that's great for my dad who can't shoot anymore because he had a shoulder replacement surgery and so he can't shoot a shotgun anymore. So now you have the opportunity to still shoot and use a crossbow or a handgun. Um, and two is opening up more of the season. You're only limited a certain amount of time to from the deer standpoint. I know in my county you only get about uh in upstate New York that's about four weeks and you can only have it for like rifle then you can do it for bow or musket. Increase the seasons that it's a lot more. Don't just limit it just the winter. Get it to the summer where everyone's hurting out there and the deer out there just hanging out. I'd be okay with hand grenades to be honest with you. Did not expect this hour to go there. I mean, it might be problematic for, you know, harvesting the meat with all the shrapnel, but you know, is that the only reason it's problematic? Michael, thank you for calling New Jersey a 1.5. Okay, I know you're not a I know you're not a sports person. Did you know why I reacted to Coopertown, New York? Because your son is named Cooper. No, no, no. Baseball Hall of Fame is in Coopertown here. Is Is that not what I said? That's not what you said. All right. I must have misspoken. It's all It's all good. I just didn't want to leave you out of the dumb thing. I know you don't care, but I didn't want to leave you out of it. I'm sorry. Uh All right. So, we're talking about um we're talking about whether we need to declare war on the deer population in New Jersey. We've got far too many and we're coming upon that dangerous season where they're running into traffic. 1800283101.5. Hey, it's Kylie. How's your back doing? Or 352. Jeff and Kylie here. Danny's news coming up in 8 minutes. Right now, we're declaring the war on deer. That is 1800 283101.5. Yeah. Should a lot more be done? Should hunting be expanded? Should they even maybe pay hunters? I know that seems crazy, but I feel like with uh the interest in hunting starting to wayne, I feel like maybe that's also part of the problem. You got to get more people out there. Uh how about Harry in Holiday City? This is where Oh, yeah. This is that section where So, so you live there in that section that that News12 was talking about, Harry? Yes. Okay. Yeah. And so, are they right? Yeah. How how bad is the deer population there? Oh, it just increases every year because they don't do anything about it. It's bad. And your neighbor and they're not supposed to feed them. So, I mean, they'll come right up to your doorway once they know that they're going to be fed. It's fun to It's funny to watch. You know, your next door neighbor opens the back sliding door and throws out some apples and the deer are already hanging out there waiting for them. Oh, right. Cuz they Right. Right. They know that they have nothing to fear. And also, this is also problematic. It's not only drawing them, but every time somebody does that, the deer, it's losing its natural fear of human beings, so they're going to come more into populated areas. Well, they have no fear of the uh humans in Holiday City. They have no fear of of the cars. Actually, they they're familiar with how traffic works because the streets are really narrow and they're small and there's not high traffic, right? But the deer, they know about the cars. It's funny to watch like I used to be a hunter years and years ago, right? Okay. And you I mean depending on where you went in New Jersey, you had to go on mostly private land to really hunt uh quality. If you went on state land, it was a disaster because the deer knew. They knew once they heard guns and people walking, they can smell you, they're gone. Deer, they come up to you. Right. Right. Very different. I don't like that. And when you say that deer are getting used to the traffic patterns, this is something that I said years ago and people were acting like I was crazy. I swear that there are some deer that are getting used to how to cross the street. Oh, here in Holiday City, they know how to cross the street. Like they will wait for traffic sometimes. They do. And if there is traffic, they'll wait. And if the cars wait stop, they'll cross the street. That is absolutely bonkers. Yeah, but but I believe you. I'm not saying it's not true. I believe you. But the problem is not all the deer. You You know, you still have some of the deer that are dumb and they'll just run right out, especially during the fall with the whole rutting season. The mating season. Right. Right. Harry, stay safe from those deer. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Stay with us. Danny's news. It's coming up in 5 minutes. [Music] New Jersey chime time. It is 411 and it's uh Wednesday. We are Daminsky and more. I'm Jeff Deinsky. I'm Kylie Moore. Yes, it's another thousand at work payday. Thank you for asking. And that code will be coming your way roughly about 10 minutes. Make sure you're listening for that. And uh even if you enter that one, you have one more coming up. Increase your chances by making sure that you listen for it next hour as well. They change every hour. So, um, I got to tell you, there's some disturbing things coming out about this, uh, case that at first I was hoping was just, you know, about the dangers of ebikes. That's what we were talking about yesterday. There were two young women, uh, high school age kids, uh, two girls who were on an ebike in Cranford and a driver came along and hit them and killed them both. Killed them and then it was a hit-and-run situation. They eventually got this person. And in the middle of this, we're talking about it, but it was only one channel. It was ABC and it was not even saying for sure that this was intentional. They were simply saying the way I was reading this ABC report yesterday uh that uh that there was no word yet on whether this was an accident or intentional, but we were getting messages probably from the community, probably from people who knew them, I'm assuming. And uh we couldn't, you know, we couldn't verify any of that. But now we can say what the authorities believe. The authorities believe that this was absolutely intentional. This was not just about an ebike being dangerous. It turns out this was about a 17-year-old male who is now charged with murder and hitting these two girls on on this ebike and leaving them for dead and running. the teenager, the boy is not being identified because of his age. That will have to go through all the, you know, permutations in court before a judge trying to decide if they will or will not try him for murder as an adult. I hope that they do. Uh, same. Yep. Um, so he's not being identified, but he is charged with two counts of firstdegree murder. He was arrested shortly after the crash, was in police custody as of yesterday morning. Um, police did not say whether he had been released temporarily before the charges were filed uh today. So, it's all coming out now. And here's what's really disturbing. Um, it's being reported that a lot of people who knew the situation say that this 17-year-old male was basically stalking and harassing one of these girls. And Dan Alexander's own story about this, which you can read on nj1015.com. Dan's story, in fact, mentions that Eyewitness News had said one of the girls had a restraining order against that 17-year-old. Wow. Had a restraining order after he harassed her at school and that he often sat in his vehicle outside her house. Now, here's what's really disturbing. It's being reported by multiple outlets that apparently even though there was a restraining order that police did nothing, that it was reported to the police numerous times and that nothing happened. What good is a restraining order then? That's awful. Uh yeah, there is a uh Maria Neotus' uncle was blunt about it on his Facebook page and said the driver followed her home from school every day. He said police did nothing about it despite being told many times prosecutors have declined to comment on the reports. New Jersey 101.5 was not able to verify the neighbors comments. Neighbors also said the driver's father and uncle, in other words, the driver, the one who was charged with the murder, father and uncle, both in law enforcement in surrounding communities. Well, isn't that convenient? Yeah. Where have we heard that before, folks? Where have we heard that before? You guys remember the uh Hunter County incident? Remember the Hunter County incident where it was the cop who was stalking his ex-girlfriend and it ended up in a double murder suicide where he then took his own life. Remember this? And what ended up happening? That investigation was taken over because they felt that they were so horribly botching it. And in that story, it was the veterinarian who uh had a new boyfriend. the current boyfriend was a firefighter if you remember was not that long ago and it was the same thing. The guy involved he was with the law enforcement and virtually nothing was done about it and um or if you remember the Phil Sidell case. Yeah. Or he for all intents and purposes got away with murder. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was the one who uh stood there and uh was allowed by the police to be honest. I mean, they they had guns drawn and they had him surrounded and they just stood back while he uh fired a a second volley of rounds through the windshield to kill his uh aranged wife and they did nothing. Mhm. They did nothing. So, yeah, that um that boy club law enforcement bull crap, that BS, that's got to end. But I don't know if it's just that. I don't know if that's the only thing that's going on here. So, I want to ask, and this is a rather sensitive question. You can just tell us the parts of this that you want to, but if you ever had to report someone for harassing you, for stalking you, whether you did have a restraining order or it fell short of that, but you had let the cops know that some creep was bothering you, how much or how little help did the authorities give you? That's what you can use a fake name. Yeah, you can. Yeah. If you feel if you feel awkward about it, you can just make up a you know, make up a first name. Give us your middle name. Yeah. Yeah. But but I do wonder. I mean, because maybe this is just, you know, and I may I've often heard it said that a restraining order is barely worth the paper that it's written on. But I mean, at least you would think that the cop would show up. I mean, especially if there's a restraining order and then you're calling and saying, "Hey, creepoid is parked out in front of my house." I mean, are they really going to say if there's a restraining order, well, it's a public street, there's a restraining order. Or was he doing it like so cleverly that, you know, depending on how the restraining order was written? Was he like, if it was written as 200 feet, was he 201t away, you know? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the circumstances here. All I know is it's being reported that there was a restraining order, but um a number of people are saying that the authorities did virtually nothing to protect this girl and then her best friend ends up right along with her getting killed with this hit and run. This is in Cranford. And again, the person they say did it is the 17-year-old from Gar from Garwood has two counts of first-degree murder on him now. And uh and there are people saying that the authorities virtually did nothing to help whenever this was reported, whenever the stalking was reported, whenever the harassing was reported. How common is that? I hope I hope I hear it's not. I mean, I hope I hear at 1800283101.5, if you were reporting somebody that was bothering you, I would hope the authorities actually took it seriously and did help you. But you guys, you you women tell us or if you if it was your sister, if it was your daughter, whatever, you can speak for them. You tell us. 1800283101.5. Here's Fastrack. God, have you seen these gold prices lately? This is New Jerseyy's radio station, New Jersey 101.5. And this is just a sad one. And a lot of people were talking about this. U the incident in Cranford that at first just uh you hoped what was already a tragedy to begin with wasn't even darker but uh but apparently it was uh two young girls in their teens on an ebike sharing an ebike together in Cranford. They got hit by a car. They both ended up killed and the car uh the driver of that car ended up running. So, it was a hit and run, but now it has come out that authorities do believe it indeed was intentional to the point that that driver, that 17-year-old male, not being identified, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. They think that he meant to do it. And uh and on top of that, it's coming out. There were reports that said that that that family that that girl uh the one that he was apparently stalking had a restraining order, that he was constantly bothering her that had gone on for many months, and that the police did virtually nothing. And it wasn't just that uncle on the Facebook uh page. Um there was a neighbor who said to CBS uh that she made complaints and nothing was done. It was just a tragedy. Uh the police were notified. This unidentified woman said on camera, different woman. So it seems like everybody knew this. So this separate woman, unidentified woman said the police were notified. The school was notified for like three months and nothing was ever done. He's been parked outside of her house for months and he was never stopped. I guess even with a restraining order. I'm not exactly sure when the restraining order came into play, but apparently authorities did little to absolutely nothing. And uh wow, it's just sad. So, we want to know if you ever went through this or you're close to somebody who went through this where a woman is being harassed, a woman is being stalked, how much or how little did the authorities help? 1 800283101.5. Also, real quick on this case, if anyone was in the area, investigators are looking for any witnesses or videos of the Jeep before or after the crash. So, just want to get that out there because Yeah, get in touch with Justice needs to be done for this. This is an awful case. Yeah, it really is. Maria in Philadelphia, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. This is This is an awful situation, especially with somebody who's that young. This this happened to me, but I was a bit older than her. I was in my late 20s. I got a protection order. This has happened in Philadelphia. Um, and the person came back again. Uh, stole keys that I just had walked into my home and had left the keys in the door. They were that fast that were that nearby that they could actually follow me up and grab the keys. But I realized it at the last second. I had to get my locks changed. But I called the cops. The police, the Philadelphia Police Department was fantastic. They were wonderful. They uh not only that, they they really they kind of tried to talk to me about getting a fire protection for myself, a firearm, which I didn't want to do because I I had children, and I was very afraid that somebody would get it, whatever. Um and they were like, "Well, we've got we've got a we've got a self-defense course that you could uh join us at that we don't tell everybody about." But they went out of their way. And honestly, many times I'd look out the window, they'd be very slowly going down the road, going down my street. Uh, they were great. They were great. Did you have any further incidents? I mean, I guess it couldn't be proven that this stalker was the guy, the person that swiped the keys. They even arrested them. Yeah, it was. I had at least three. I had at least three and I had one other person that had one. So, uh, this was And they were That's why the police were so worried for me. They were like, "This is a bad dude. He is not going to stop. You have to, you know, we got to you got to find a way." And I was like, "I what else can I do besides carry a gun, you know?" And I at the time, you know, we're going back a few years ago, right? Um I I I felt very uncomfortable doing that and and hiding it in a house, even if I put it into a lock safe or something. Plus, when you need it, it isn't when it's in the lock safe. It's when you're walking down the street by yourself or when you're out at night. Yeah, that's a great point. Wow. U Mary, hey. Well, it's good to hear that uh some authorities cared. Mary, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. I'm sure that wasn't an easy story to share. And again, I mean, authorities in this case with with the girls killed by the car in Cranford. Obviously, they're not saying much, but with this many people saying the same thing, with that number of people saying that virtually nothing was done, it's like the old where there's smoke, there's fire, you know, it's not making the authorities look good. So, we want to know if you ever had to report somebody, even if it fell short of a restraining order. Um, if you had to report somebody harassing you, stalking you, or you're close to the person who was the victim here, how much or how little did the authorities do to help? 1 800283101.5. Experience a difference in home comfort. 438 with Jeff Deinsky and Kylie Moore. this awful case in New Jersey of allegedly, right? Do we still have to say allegedly or can we just say this was a matter of stalking? Uh, well, I mean, it was safe. Uh, yeah. I mean, all of this is uh alleged. I mean, there was a restraining order apparently. ABC is reporting that. Uh, a lot of people say this happened, but uh, you know, I mean, the charges here aren't even about the stalking. The charges are two counts of firstdegree murder. So allegedly, the prosecutors claim that the 17-year-old from Garwood, the 17-year-old male, is the one who ran down with his car these two teenage girls riding an ebike in Cranford. And they say that he did it on purpose. They say that there was a uh history of stalking here. There was a history of harassment. Apparently, some people say that it went on for months. ABC is reporting that there was a stra a restraining order against the driver, but apparently every time that this creep would apparently park outside the the the girl's house, apparently nothing was done. And uh yeah, and that kid, that 17-year-old, the father and the uncle, the according to neighbors are both in law enforcement in surrounding communities. Gee, is that just is that just another I mean, I'm just asking, is that just yet another example of cops protecting cops? Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, it's his kid and and he's a cop, so Yeah. Yeah. We won't bother. Yeah, I mean it's a tight-knit community, that blue community. And I have I I have a huge amount of respect for cops, but but not if somebody is pulling strings like that. And I don't know, but it does make you wonder. I don't want to out the person who wrote in on the app because this is a very sensitive matter, but they are also confirming like yes, allegedly the father is very very high up in the police in Westfield and the uncle it doesn't matter man in the Garwood Police Department. But again, I will keep that source anonymous because I don't want them to get in trouble. Right. But Right. And also I can't confirm that it's just right. But it's just what what a freaking mess. This is a huge story. Dan Alexander has a write up on this on nj1015.com. So, I mean, again, if anybody else uh if anybody else has a story about once being harassed or stalked, did the authorities ignore you? Did they not take it seriously or were they extremely helpful? 1 800283101.5. But you know what else I want to ask? It remains to be seen what level these charges will take as far as will this 17year-old be charged as an adult or as a juvenile. And at 17, I think it's pretty easy to charge them as an adult. I think he should absolutely be tried as an adult. That's what I want to ask. That's the other part of this that I would love to get some people's opinion on. If this indeed if the prosecution can prove its case that this was going on for months and that and that this kid was a creep who just finally lost it and on purpose ran down these two girls and killed them both. Is there any reason at all that that should be left in the juvenile system or should he be waved up to the adult court? I would be amazed if anybody thought that that should remain in the juvenile system. But you guys tell us. You folks tell us. 1 800283101.5. And you know what else? While we're at it now, this is just this is just wishful thinking. I know it's not going to happen. I understand we have not had a death penalty in New Jersey for years. And I understand a lot of people are very adamantly against a death penalty, but I wish we had one. I never thought it was good under Cororsine when we got rid of it. Uh, I wish when we did have it that we had used it. I understand how people feel about it. Some people feel that, you know, two wrongs don't make a right. Some people always argue that, well, it actually costs more money to put somebody to death. Yeah. The only reason it costs more money to put somebody to death is because all of these advocacy groups that will support appeal after appeal after appeal after appeal, that's what builds that cost up. and they don't use the death penalty until maybe 21 years after an actual murder. If the authorities are right about what happened here, this is about as coldblooded murder as it gets. And I don't care that this person was 17. If they really did this, they got the right kid and I have no reason to doubt the prosecutors. Then why should this not be waved up to the adult court? And I wish it could be a death penalty case. But your thoughts on any of that? 1 800283101.5. He should definitely be tried as an adult. At 17, you know what you're doing? You can legally drive. If he was actually stalking this person for 3 months, this wasn't a whoopsie. This was premeditated. This he knew what he was doing. And now two young women are dead. Thrown behind bars. And this father, if this is true, if true alleged true, right, Nate Again, it it's being reported that neighbors are saying that uh that there's a father and an uncle of this 17-year-old. They're involved in law enforcement. Somebody is saying that they're fairly high up. But but if true, wouldn't they know that there was a restraining order? Or did that or or could that have somehow escaped the father? You think? Yeah, I don't know how. I mean, I I would be hardput to explain how the father didn't know this, but if my if my kids got a restraining order, oh my god, I'm going to be on them like white on rice. Like, what the hell are you doing? Especially, I have no clue how it works with the law. If it's a restraining order against a minor, wouldn't the parents have to be notified? You would think if if if it's somebody under 18, you would absolutely think they would have to know, which is a great point, right? And so, like the whole thing stinks to high heaven, right? Right. And again, and again, we're just saying what's being reported. Do we know for sure these things? I mean, we know for sure that this 17-year-old is charged with two counts of murder. We know for sure that two women are dead, right? We know that. Yeah. Uh, so our phone number is 1 800283101.5. Detective, I've solved many mysteries. New Jersey 101.5. Danny Dresenzo's news coming up in about 8 minutes. That would make this uh 452 right now. Uh if you have been playing the $1,000 at work payday game, you got one more shot for today. We have another code coming up that you got to enter on the New Jersey 101.5 app and that will be in right about half an hour from now, about 20 minutes after the hour. So, uh make sure that you're listening for that. Could be worth $1,000 for you. So yeah, this really really sad sad case in uh in Cranford. It started at first as it sounded like maybe just another horrendous accident. In fact, there were even these published reports how there were three young people, three teenagers killed in ebike accidents um in in in one week in Union County. three of them, two in the one, and that 13-year-old kid who was killed in what turns out to be a legitimate accident. But then this Cranford story, it turned dark. There were rumors. People were even, you know, sending messages on our app chat uh that that this had been intentional. I I have to guess that was coming from a lot of people from the community itself who knew uh what the authorities were not even releasing publicly yet. And it turns out by today the charges came. They found that it was a 17-year-old uh from neighboring Garwood. And everybody who knew one of these two girls said that this one one girl was uh being harassed and being stalked by this 17-year-old male. Um there's one report coming from ABC that they even had a restraining order on this young guy and apparently he did no good. A lot of people in the no are claiming that this went on for months, that the school either couldn't do anything or didn't do anything, but that the cops were always being called and nothing was happening. That this creep would park right outside this girl's house and just sit there for hours and nothing apparently was getting done. Another thing coming in from someone who says that they're in the know, this is on the New Jersey 101.5 app chat. Apparently, allegedly. Yeah. Yeah. This is just right. The guy had posted on TikTok about the incident and he is blaming the state of New Jersey for his mental illness and that's what caused him to do the horrific crime. What? No. No. Okay. And again, we can't we can't verify this. It's just something being said. But you know what? Everything else so far said from yesterday turns out to be corroborated by the authorities. At least in their, you know, view. Really? You're Your mental illness is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. That does not lead you to kill two people who are also seven. The tragic thing about all of this, these are kids, including him, right? As much as he's a piece of you know what, right? They are all minors. They are all children. They're not adults. Yeah. This shouldn't ruin three lives. Yeah. And yet here we are. Yeah. And again, uh, time will tell what they are going to do as far as whether this is going to be waved up to adult court or if this is just going to be left in some juvie system. But I mean, two young girls are dead. they had their entire lives in front of them and then this nonsense and it's just and again I think the secondary tragedy to all of this and I'm sure there will be an investigation but it's being reported that a lot of people who know the situation say that the 17-year-old charged with the two counts of murder has a dad and an uncle who are both in law enforcement. And it really makes you wonder when you're hearing so many other people report that the cops were doing nothing every time they were notified. It makes you wonder if strings were being pulled. Yeah. It's not a he said she said, it's a he said they said. There are multiple people reporting on this. Yep. We're going to have Danny's news in under four minutes on New Jersey 10 1.5. Daminsky. You want a roof that New Jersey chime time is 510. Good evening. It's the Daminsky and more show. I'm Kylie Moore. I'm Jeff Daminsky. Uh, you have another shot today for that $1,000 at work payday. Another code is coming your way in about roughly 10 minutes. Make sure that you listen for it. And for that on the New Jersey101.5 app. Um, so Kylie's got a story on nj1015.com and it's about it's about a survey of truckers who have to deal with New Jersey and where they think New Jerseyy's absolute worst drivers are. I'm not going to tell you. I want you to read this because this is a good read. I mean, it's even got things in there and it really makes you think. I mean, if you're just what truckers will call a four-wheeler, if you're just driving around in a regular car and you're not a trucker, it it sort of like shines a light on their perspective of things. It's got stats on the things that drive them craziest about what we do to them, you know. Uh, so yeah, I don't want to give too much away. I will give I will give you one example, though. This is not where the truckers say the worst area of New Jersey is, but it's one of them that's bad. Elizabeth, in Elizabeth, truckers pointed to reckless merging and tailgating as their as their top complaints. And as somebody who grew up I guess maybe the reason that jumped out at me as somebody who grew up in Rawway, not very far from Elizabeth and when I have to drive in Elizabeth. Yeah. It's not just truckers. It's everybody. People in Elizabeth are nuts. Really? Oh yeah. You don't have to be a trucker to get pissed off at an Elizabeth driver. Or maybe it's not. Maybe they don't even live there. Maybe just like when you cross the city line into Elizabeth, everybody becomes an idiot. I don't know. I don't know. But try driving that stretch of Route One in Elizabeth. Oh my god. This is just It's just awful. You lost me at Route One. Why? Just cuz Route One is not fun. Oh, you know, my new commute, it mostly takes me down Route One. As uh as our friend Joy used to call it, no fun route one, right? No. Oh, it is not fun. Route one is no fun. And that is probably usually the fastest way for me to get to work. Even though it's that route with all the stop lightss, it's still faster than an alternate route. My condolences. Oh yeah. Me no. Like me no like. Oh yeah. I would much rather your commute. Yeah. And you know what sucks? I'm not I'm not like horri like I'm in Madawan. You live in Freehold. I'm not horribly far from you. But the way you go is not the way I should go because that'll just be like 20 minutes longer. H But the breeze of 195 and 295 that I know. I was hoping it would be more something like that and then I moved there and then I found out the hard way. Oh, not at all. No. Yeah. All right. But um I encourage you to read that. It's an interesting article. It's on nj1015.com um by Kylie. But I want to ask, and this is for anybody. This is not just for truckers. This is anybody who has a driver's license, anybody who drives a car. Where do you think personally the worst drivers in New Jersey are? And why do you think they're the worst? What do you notice different? 1 800283101.5. See, I'm going to hearken back to that whole Route One argument. I think people are at their worst on Route One. I'm on various other routes. 195 is fine. 295 is fine. Route 9 can be a pain, but it's doable. Route one, the second I get on, it's like it's like something changes in me. And all the other It's like the It's like the overlook in The Shining. Yeah. Suddenly, we all start to go a little mad on Route One. You've always been the caretaker. You've always driven on Route One, Miss Moore. You've always been the caretaker. That's how it feels. Pour me a drink. Lloyd. I always said that was the name of the bar. I never forgot the name of the bartender in that. It was Lloyd. See, I'm glad you said it because I was struggling. I was only picturing the Simpsons um parody of it. No, it was Lloyd. Yeah. Waste your family. I'll point you a beer. I'll Oh my god. I'll tell you what. Um, I agree that Route One could be bad, but I think it's more when you get up into that Union County area. Like in Middle Sex County on South, I don't find it nearly as bad as I mean, like, and you probably haven't driven Route One up in Union County a lot. I don't think you would really have occasion to. Oh, so what I was going to say, you think Route One is bad south of that? Oh, you try driving north of that going into going into Union County and Essex and all that. Oh, much worse. Everybody Everybody loses 24 IQ points as soon as they get into Union County on Route One. And maybe it's just defense. Maybe it's just defense. Maybe it's because of how everybody else is driving. So, we all have to drive aggressively. I don't know. I don't know what it is. But yeah, that's it's it's not a good area to drive. I have always said this when I would bring my kids to see my mom in Lyndon. There's something about when you get into that Union County area, drivers are not nearly as polite. Drivers take uh deeper chances. Drivers cut you off more. There's something about that Union County area that I feel like maybe they're the worst drivers. Yeah. So, yeah. You tell us where in your experience, whether you drive for a living, whether you're just, you know, commuting with a passenger car, it doesn't matter what you do. Where do you think the worst drivers in New Jersey are? And you can be as hyper specific as you want to. 1800283101.5. Stanley in North Planefield, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi guys, I'm on Route 22 in Union, New Jersey, and it's terrible out here. Oh, Route 22. Yeah, I'm sorry. Oh my god. They got cut off four times in the last half a mile. Sen regular. Yeah. Got cut off four times in the last half a mile. They just pull out the center aisle. That's terrible. They like six U-turns. And you and I'm sorry, Union is still in Union County, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Route 22 with that lovely wide median where they'll put businesses right in there that you've got to go into a you got you got to make a left turn off a major highway with 65 mph traffic into a parking lot. Really good idea, folks. Really good idea. I'm looking at I wish I could send you a video. I'm looking at it right now like by the red lots here. The cars are stopped, people pulling in. It's almost causing accident. Well, yeah. And then you're in the left lane and you also have to watch people pulling back out. I mean, they've got to they've got to leave and they've got to exit and they've got to pull right in front of you. But you're doing 65 miles an hour and they designed it this way. Stanley, I envy no part of what you are driving right now. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5 and stay safe. All right. So, he's saying Route 22 in Union. Yeah. This I'm so glad he brought it up because if he didn't, I was going to What? Route 22 specifically. In Union? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I dated someone in Union and anytime we had to go on Route 22, it was like, "All right, well, I guess I'll take half a Xanax before this." Yeah. So, I mean, it could be a road, it could be a certain stretch of road, it could be a town, it could be a county, whatever. It could be, you know, as wide or as narrow as you want to be with this, but where in New Jersey do you think are the worst drivers? 1 800283 101.5. Actually, can we put uh Brendan, I'm going to put you on the spot real quick. Is there a particular area of Jersey where you have like more accents than normal? Um, I really hate to say like I haven't really studied the patterns to see like, oh, this area this time of day or you know this area in AM drive instead of PM drive or anything like that. I mean, everybody's going to see some stupid stuff at any time of the day. Right. Right. Yeah, it'll shift. Yeah. No, I I knew I was putting you on the spot, but I figured if there's one person to ask, it's the traffic man. Okay. Who do you think is worse, Pennsylvania drivers or New Jersey drivers? Ooh. Ooh. Uh, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Connecticut drivers. Actually, the the dark horse. There there there's a term for them that I cannot say on the radio, but just driving the Merit Parkway. That is one of the I was just going to say Merit Parkway. Merit Parkway is a nightmare. Absolutely. One of the worst roads to drive in the world. Wow. Right. Like it looks so pretty and yet like you feel like you're going to die when you get on there. Yeah. Every on-ramp is basically somebody slingshotting out of a parking spot trying to get to 55 as fast as they can. Yes. Yes. Sorry, guys. We're getting excited. Sorry, I'm overreacting. It's just so weird that you said Merit Parkway cuz I was about to say it. Yes. Oh my god. Now you guys are having the shining. Yeah. Really? We're in each other's heads. All right. So, we want to know because of Carly's Carly's because I was going to say Kylie's article. It came out right because of Kylie's article uh where truckers say the worst drivers are in New Jersey. Uh find out at mj1015.com. But where do you think the worst drivers in Jersey are? 1800283101.5. You're going to hear about them now. Here's fast traffic. If you have to choose between everyday life, let's get this bread. Mhm. Okay. No, let's get this bread definition. This is from 8 days ago in Cambridge English dictionary. Yeah. a a Reddit thread from seven years ago. So, it's somewhat recent. Okay. Seven years. Okay, I'll give you that. Better than you said. What? The 60s? Whatever. You know what? I'm moving on. I'm not I'm not hip now. I wasn't hip seven years ago. Sorry. Okay. All right. All right. So, listen. Kylie has an article. It's on uh our Daminsky and Moore page or or just her own page. It's on nj1015.com and it was a study about truckers and what part of New Jersey truckers felt the craziest worst drivers could be found because they know I mean they see it all. And uh I don't even want to give it away because it's it's a fun read. It gives you a lot of info on what on what we do passenger car drivers do to truckers that drive them the craziest things like that. So it's worth taking a look at. Um, Elizabeth ranks up there, but it's not the absolute worst area of New Jersey as far as truckers go. But where do you think the worst drivers in New Jersey are and why? 1800283 101.5. Well, look who it is. Malik and Aspbury Park here on New Jersey 101.5. Yo, what's cracking lacking? And uh, yeah, Kylie, we do still say bread. Oh, thank you. Do you Come on. Do you say we either say bread? We either say bread or cream, but we still use bread. I thought you use like cheddar. Did he used to use cheddar? No. No, that's old school. We'll say bread before we say cheddar. Yeah, like I love you so much. Yeah, like an eight mile. I think the Eminem. Uh, you know, whatever. Who cares? Yeah. Anyway. All right. All right. This is coming from a truck driver, so I see it every day all day. Oh, one of the worst places. You said it. Uh, Elizabeth for a truck driver is absolute H E double hockey sticks. Um, 287 22 going through that Springfield uh, Union area. Oh man, absolutely the worst. Y. And as for a particular area, I'm going to say all of New Jersey because I've been I've been saying for the past 5 years like when you go to get your license, they need to teach uh truck etiquette to four-wheelers cuz they don't know how to merge with trucks, jump in between trucks. So, I I'd say everywhere in New Jersey. I I am amazed that people are so dumb that they don't understand to not get in front of a truck when the truck has a red light in front of it and they'll get right in front of you and then hit the brakes. They don't understand how much longer it takes you guys to stop. It's Nope. They don't get it. It's physics. It's so obvious. You don't do that. But but I I see it all the time, man. You got to give a wider birth. It happens to me today. Actually happened to me about 45 minutes ago at 287. No kidding. Kept going without a care in the world. Or what about this one? What about this one? I'm I'm I'm coming to a red light and I see where like that stop line is. Right. And there's a truck who's going to be making a right turn. I know they've got to swing wide. I'm gonna make sure that I'm on the other side of that stop line shy of it by a couple of feet hopefully. But so many people just pull over the line and then like the truck is stuck and it can't make it swing. I don't understand people. I got one better than that. When when when people are coming and you're going about 65 and they'll see the light just turn yellow and they'll just stop right at I'm like, "Look, you know there's a 80,000lb truck right behind you coming at 65 miles an hour. Yo, go past the the yellow light. You still got it. Go. Don't stop when something this big is behind you." Yeah. We can't stop on a dime like you guys can. Wow. Right. I can't imagine the stuff that you deal with, Malik, every day. But at least you get But at least you got that high perch. You get to see women's thighs in the summertime. Nah, not really. They don't do that no more. Not really. Not to me. I'm not talking about flashing. I just mean like, you know, they're wearing shorts or something. I'm I'm not saying anything wrong. I thought you were about to say, unless you get that bread. All right. Hey, thanks for calling in New Jersey 101.5. Take care, Malik. All right. So, uh, yeah, you can you can find out for sure what the survey said, uh, with Kylie's article on nj1015.com, but just just for your, uh, anecdotal experience, where do you think the worst drivers are in the state of New Jersey? 1800283101. Progressives Teen Driver discount could look. Yes, in fact, today still had been a$1,000 at work payday, but uh the last code was given out. But there's more coming tomorrow. Make sure you're listening with Bill Spy in the morning in the 8:00 hour. It starts back up. More info on nj1015.com. Also on the website, uh Kylie has an article about uh truckers opinions about where the worst drivers are in New Jersey. But we want anybody's opinions. Where do you think people don't know what they're doing on the roads the most in Jersey? 1800 283 101.5. Chris and Tom's River, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how we doing guys? Just want to say uhoh, we have a problem with your phone. It's starting again. Yeah, it might not be your phone. It might be on our end because last hour we couldn't even take calls for part of it. Uh, let's let you hear me now. I think it's better. Is it better? Yeah. Let's see. All right. Um, so I'm thinking downtown Lakewood. Main Street. Downtown Lakewood. Yep. Main Street. Yeah. Yeah. We all see the bumper stickers. I mean, what is it? I I survive Lakewood or what? What? Something like that. There's some snarky. Yeah. Yeah. There's some snarky. And you know, a lot of people just blame the d I mean, a part of it is that there's just some bad driving in Lakewood, but but a big part of it also is that is a town that grew so fast that it grew faster than it was ready to grow. And so like the roads, the streets, they're they can't keep up with the population. There's al there's a lot of foot traffic. Well, you got the pedestrians as well that are going all the roads. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And so I mean we know about, you know, Orthodox Jews living in Lakewood and they always like are getting like this bad reputation. And I feel bad because that that's not really it. It's that this population exploded far faster. Exactly. That than the roads could even keep up. Chris, how often do you have to drive down Main Street? I used to all the time because I used to deliver furniture. So I'd be there at least once a week. I kind of go there once in a while now and even then I try to avoid it as best as possible. Wow. It was that bad for you? Oh yeah. I almost got into a few accidents every single time because people just diving out in the traffic. You mean you mean driving diving out or you mean even just like walking out? Oh, okay. Both. Both. Yeah. Yeah. It's just too damn crowded, man. Mhm. Yeah. No, I hear you. Hey, Chris, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. I went the longest time just because of where I lived. I never lived anywhere near there. I went the longest time without ever having driven through Lakewood. It was weird because it was almost like this storied land that I heard about that was just, you know, like like like Bruce Springsteen's jungle land or something. And when you finally did When I finally did, but I mean I was only I think is it Route 9 goes through Lakewood? I believe so. Yes. Yeah. I mean, it was only Route Nine and I never really had to go into like on the on the smaller streets, so I still haven't really experienced Lakewood fully. Yeah. Okay. I will say it's definitely overhyped, but there's something there. Yeah. It's uh Yeah. The foot traffic alone is just like I feel like I'm playing Frogger, but I'm the car, not Frogger. Right. I got you. I got you. All right. So, we want to know in your opinion, where are the worst drivers in New Jersey? 1 800283101.5. Kenny in Manchester, you're up next. Hi, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Yeah. Hi. How are you today? Hey, Kenny. What's going on? Hey, good. Yeah, I believe that on Route 70 in Manchester, Lake section, that's worse drivers over there. And I'm from Manchester. I see it every day. So, Lake Hurst, Manchester area, what what is it? What are you seeing that makes them the worst? What What's happening here? Oh, well. Oh, yeah. I'm just Yeah, just they want to run you off the road. They want to ride like they either driving too slow or they want to speed up behind you and push you off the road. It's like I I just think enforcement should really be enforced over here and watching being watched. You know, the whole like the whole strip Route 70. Yeah. I'll be honest. I'm not familiar with the area, so I've never I've never experienced it. But yeah. Yeah. Like what is it about taking me away from it? What is it about Route 70 that that would lend itself to that? Like either driving too fast or too slow. Any idea? Yeah. Well, stick with the speed limit or they want to drive over the speed limit. Well, no, I know. No, no, I know. But I'm just saying like I wonder why that road more than other roads. Uh people are kind of abusing it. It's a long strip. That's why. That's why. Okay. All right. That's fair. Yeah, that's fair. Launch. I got you. Hey, Kenny, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. I am trying. Oh, there we go. Greg in Bridgewater Road in on the app. Mhm. You're going to relate to this one. Why is it up? Jeff, by far the worst drivers are at the Flemington Circle and the Somerville Circle. Oh, Greg, you have hit a nerve. The Flemington Circle is so dumb because it's a double L. The entire circle is a double lane. There's an inner and an outer lane. But if you're in the outer lane, like it's lanes that can cross paths, like if you're like, how do I explain it? If you're going north and you're going to continue on 31 and you're in the inner lane, you have to cross the outer lane to maintain the inner lane of 31. So like you're in the you're in the I mean like picture picture a curve, picture a circle and you're in the inner lane, right? And so you could be here but there there could be a car next to you in the outer lane. But but but to continue going on 31, you have to cross this guy's lane, go in front of him, and then still be in the inner lane cuz it still continues like as a double lane of 31. Like they literally have people crossing paths in the middle of an effing traffic circle. It's so dumb. Oof. And you'll see these solid lines and then and then there'll be like, you know, 8 ft of a dotted line like hurry up and cross in. Go. Right. Right. Right. And it is maddening. And you have no idea how and there and there's a yield sign. You have no idea how many people either don't see or don't understand what a yield side means because like you're uh you're inside the traffic circle and then there's cars coming from two. I know I'm talking to very few people here, okay? This is it's a 100 county thing, but you've got people coming down south on 202 and they're going to enter that circle and they don't have the yield, but a lot of them just yield. And so everybody who is yielding properly, we're just sitting there inside the circle and then this a-hole just stops dead and now nobody knows, well, do I go illegally because he's supposed to be going and then everybody's just going like this. Huh? Huh? Like like like right where they're doing like the hands in the air like where are you supposed to go? Oh hate that freaking circle. We don't like the Flemington. We are a staunchly anti- Flemington Circle show here in afternoon drive. The point is Greg and Bridgewwater. I got your back on that. Sorry. Sorry for the tangent, but yeah. Oh, it's awful. It's okay. You you were speaking your truth and that's what we want to hear. Where are the worst drivers in New Jersey? 1 800283101.5. Dansky of Remax First Advantage. 552 with Jeff and Kylie. We're gonna have Danny's news coming up in under 10 minutes. Yeah. He's uh he's going to be letting you know how the federal government shutdown might be affecting you in New Jersey. And you know one crappy thing I was reading all of it. Well, all of it. But like let's say you've got to take a flight out of say Newark airport, right? This is crazy. People who are well like the air traffic controllers for one, but even the people that are TSA, right? They're expected to still show up and work, but they're not getting paid. Oh, no thank you. Right. And what happens is a lot of these workers, like they're expected to show up and not get paid. And the last time this happened, it was like 35 days. Uh the last government shut down, it was also under Trump in 2018, but you don't get paid for many, many weeks. So, a lot of times they just end up being short staffed. they don't show up or they're using up days, you know, sick days, whatever, because because they're pissed off, right? Right. They're pissed off. So, do you really want do you really want the guy who's looking for, you know, bombs or guns to not get on the plane, right? Do you really want him working for free and being pissed off? Yeah, you have a switchblade. I'm not getting paid for this. Yeah, I don't care. Mosy on, bro. Yeah, I don't care. Anyway, but Danny's got that. And uh right now we're talking about worst drivers in New Jersey. Where are they and what pisses you off? Eileen in Montville. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi guys. I'm calling to represent Northern New Jersey. Not my county. I live in Mars, but Bergen County Route 4 where there's like three or four malls. And on a Saturday, it it's it's like Frogger between cars going by, people crossing trying to cross a threelane highway to get to the other side because they don't want to move their car park. Yeah. And 90% of 90% of them are unfortunately New York State plates because they come over the GW bridge and they do their shopping in New Jersey for the retail. Have to pay for taxes. Yes. Yep. Yep. And it's not open on Sunday, so they have to come on Saturday. Oh, so right. So that's going to Yes, that's true. The blue laws, that's going to double up the amount of traffic. They're all trying to get there in the same day instead of spreading it out o over the two days. Yep. Oh, that sounds like an ever loving nightmare. Yeah, that's a good one. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Stay with us for Danny's news in 5 minutes. We got another one. Another what? Aussie New Jersey chime time. It is coming up on 609. It is a Wednesday. We are Daminsky and More. I'm Jeff Deinsky. I'm Kylie Moore. Uh make sure that you are listening tomorrow morning as another $1,000 at work payday continues in the 8:00 hour with Bill Spadia. Uh our phone number is 1 800283101.5. Was it last week? I guess I can't remember what day we talked about the coyote attacks. Oh, don't ask me. Yeah, right. It's all a blur when you do this. Yeah. No, people would be like, "What'd you talk about today?" And I'm like, "I I don't know." There was a thing that we did. We were talking about it before the show. We were trying to figure something out. And there was a thing that we did uh a week ago and I was thinking it was maybe yesterday. It's all a blur, but anyway, there had been uh these coyote Friday. What? The coyotes, I think. So, there you go. All right. So, yeah, there there had been these uh coyote attacks. Um both times it was like back-to-back days. It was like uh I think a Thursday evening and then the next day um two different guys walking two different dogs in Bergen County in Saddle River and coyote came along. Uh this happened near Chestnut Road and uh the the coyote which is unusual. They would usually shy away from people, but it just went on the attack and uh went after the men in both cases, not even the dog, but the men. And um they, you know, they both suffered a bite. They had to get treatment. And now it is coming out they figured out number one it was the same coyote, which I would have bet. Number two, they captured the coyote. Number three, they euthanized the coyote. Number four, the coyote tested positive for rabies. Oh yeah, which I I I don't know if you remember, but I was saying it wouldn't be surprised to find that out because coyotes normally shy away from humans. And for it to just go right up and go on the attack, that seemed pretty rare. Um, so yeah. So, uh I'm sure that they had already started receiving rabies treatments anyway. I hope so. These uh these bite victims. Uh but yeah, both were treated for their injuries. But um yeah, it's so nasty how they have to do that, too. I mean, I my understanding is they still have to cut the head off the animal and then like get a section of the brain. That that's the only way they can really figure out brain if Yeah. that they have to go into the brain to figure out if it has rabies. So there's no way to determine it without killing the animal. And then of course if it doesn't have rabies then you feel kind of bad like oh sorry just did it for fun. Who's practice? We yeah we we had to make sure. Sorry sport. But anyway this one indeed did have rabies. It was going to die anyway. Um but the guys, you know, should be okay. But I always get I always get fascinated by that. I've never been in that position yet where I needed to get rabies shots. Let's not say yet. You don't want to be in that position at Well, no. I mean, I don't want to be, but you made it sound like, well, someday. No, no. It's that the the part of it that fascinates me is if you've ever been in that position where you got scratched, you got bit, something happened and they say, "Yeah, you got to get rabies shots." Don't you have that worry? What if I'm the one person on whom it just doesn't work? You know what I'm saying? Oh, I thought that all the time. Like what, you know what? if they're doing it right, they're following the protocol. I'm getting the right number of shots. I had the followup a week later and then two weeks later, however you do it, but like just like what what if it's like the one time it doesn't work and then what a horrible way to go, man. What a horrible way to go. So, yeah. I like I always wonder if you're going through rabies like a series of uh rabies shots, do you have that weird thought, is it as painful as they say it used to be? I know that back in the day, like our fathers, our grandfather's days, they used to say like that you would get a lot of the shots right right around your naval, right around your belly button, and that it hurt like h man. Mhm. But now I think they I think they give you the first shot right in the sight of the wound itself and then they pick like a separate fleshy part of the body or something. I'm not I'm not sure how it all works, but if you ever had rabies shots, can you tell us about it? What did you have to go through? And when they tell you that you should get rabies shots, are the medical people so demanding about it that they're not even making it like a choice like you're coming, you're getting a rabies shot now, or do they kind of like leave it up to you if you want to get a rabies shot? Oh, now that you bring up medical professionals, even if you haven't gotten a rabies shot, if you are a medical professional who has administered this and you have any sort of idea, clearly Jeff and I don't, so would love to hear from you because Yeah. Is it is it still the navl or a fleshy spot as you put it? Which by the way I don't appreciate. I think what what fleshy well what like a meteor part of your body. No I unders I wasn't confused about what you were trying to say. Okay. I'm sorry he doesn't like my terminology. Just like fleshy. Okay. Um meaty. Would you want meaty? What would you want? Girthy. Girth. Okay. Girthy. A girthy spot. But yeah, like if you're a medical professional and you've dealt with rabies shots, here's another question I have. I have a lot. How long are the needles, do they have to go like in much deeper than say like a flu shot? Cuz a flu shot I think is just like yay big like you know, but do they have to go like really deep? Like if you're going into a person's thigh, are you going like nearly the fleshy part, right? Right. The fleshy part. Are you going into the fat? Are you going into the muscle? Like, what are you going into? Are you almost down to the bone? Don't give me that look. I want to know these things. I am curious. I know. I want this I want this to be like the Discovery Channel right now. I want to know what is it like going through rabies shots or what is it like giving a rabies shot and why did you have to get them? Was it is it bats where it's like no matter what whether you felt a bite or not, you have to get them? Well, I'm not a medical professional. Don't take anything I say as truth. Here's Okay, here's my understanding of bats. They say if you are in a room where you're sleeping and there had been a bat, that is when they say even if you don't think you got bit, you need to get rabies shots because the bite of a bat, the teeth can be so fine that you won't even find the bite mark on your body and you won't even necessarily know that they bit you in your sleep. And so that is why they say now if the if the bat is like in your kitchen, not your bedroom, and it didn't bite you because I mean you're awake in the kitchen, then they say no, you don't need a rabies shot. But they're saying if you found one in your bedroom, and it could have happened, they they always say absolutely get a rabies shot because that's the freaky thing about a bat is they could have actually pierced your skin and you won't even know it. Welcome to spooky season. I know, right? Right. All right. So, uh, all things rabies shots, kids. 1 800283101.5. Sue in Morristown, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi, Sue. Hi there. Um, I do give rabies shots. I am a nurse, so I do have some information about rabies shots. Okay. First of all, how long have question how many times in your career have you had to give a rabies shot? Would you guess roughly? Well, we do what's called preexposure and postexposure. So, I'll probably say I've given well over a hundred. Okay. But what about only for post exposure? Probably like two or three. No, probably about 30 because we travel internationally and they get bit bitten abroad. They start their series wherever the country is and then they end up following up here. That's got to be a reality show. bitten abroad. All right. Um, what about the needles? Jeff had the question about how big are the needles? Yeah. How long are they? How deep do they go in? Oh, not even an inch. Slight shorter than an inch. So, it's going into the fat, never the muscle. It goes in the muscle of your arm. Oh, it does go into the muscle. Just exactly like getting a flu shot. Is it always the arm? I mean, like, don't they the first one? Doesn't it go right near the wound? There's that's called immunogloabbulin. Okay, that's a that goes it to the wound and that's just very it's thick and it's that's painful because of the consistency. But the rabies shot themselves like getting a flu shot. Oh. Oh, this is interesting. So the immunoglobin that's the one that hurts most. Yes. Yes. Nothing goes in the stomach. That's kind of old school many many years ago and that kind of carried through like an old wives tale. Yeah. But they did used to do it at one point, right? Like right in the belly button or right near it supposedly. That's what we've heard. I've done research on it and that's seems to be but um that's been years ago, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And there and if you didn't have insurance, aren't they said to be incredibly expensive like thousands of dollars? They are expensive, but I I know pre-exposure pretty much insurance doesn't pay for that. Usually people like veterinarians, people that work directly with animals, they have to get it is a requirement for like vet school. Um yeah, and that's probably like $600 a shot, but then there's only like two there's only two of them. What's the What's the most common animal for the 30 post exposures that you roughly gave? What's the most common animal attack? Foreign would be monkeys and in the US it's usually like a local uh feral cat. A cat and then monkey. Wow. Internationally monkeys. People go to monkey sanctuaries or they're on beaches where there's monkeys or you know countries where there's lot and they they can be very aggressive and they they'll bite. There's a band name in this somewhere. Sue, I wish you could see the look on Jeff's face. We could talk to you for the rest of the hour. Yeah, this is this is fascinating. Unfortunately, we are up against traffic, but we appreciate all of the info that you have given us so far. Sue, thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. Monkey Shot, band name, Monkey Shot. Uh, I'll think about it. I'll think about it during traffic. All right. 1 800 283 101.5. Talk about what Acton Network says. Okay. I should have asked the nurse when she called in. I wanted to keep her on, but we were up against traffic. I questions. Yeah, she just seemed like a cool person, didn't she? Um, I should have thought of this then. If you get a bite from an animal and it might have rabies and you got to get rabies shots, but like they put that immunoglobin uh if I'm saying that right. Is it imunoglobin? Globin globin globin. Imunoglobin, whatever. If you put that first shot right by where the wound shot Yeah. D shot. If you put that right into or right next to where the wound is, what do you do if the wound was like on your face on your forehead? Like what like like what if a feral cat with rabies bites you and takes a chunk out of your forehead, right? And they know it has rabies. You got to get like how do you get a shot in there? Or like a finger a hand or right like a bony finger. Like there's like hardly anything to shoot. Do you just like do you just like go down here by the cheek where it's I know you don't like this word fleshier. I don't know if you would go sideways because I think it's too uh like subcutaneous and not into subcutaneous sat word. My goodness. You know what that mean? Don't you know what that means? No, it means under the skin. I think that would just be like totally subcutaneous and not into the fleshy part enough. There's a non there's a non SAT word. The fle the fleshy part. This is above my pay grade. What? What? 1800283 101.5. Cheryl and Brick, before we start, did you know the word subcutaneous? Uh, yeah. It's what he said. It's under the skin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cheryl knew it. This is going to be my starter question. No, I'm not going to ride this bit into the ground. I just feel like a dummy. No, don't feel bad. You don't know until you know. So, what were you calling in for? You had to get ravy shots or somebody that you know? My husband. What happened? Yes, it um he was outside hanging up uh decorations for Christmas and a stray cat came by and you know he's loving it up. No problem. He goes away. He goes strings lights. Comes back. He's down on the ladder. He cuts it again. It grabbed a hold of his hand and it bit him right in like the thumb area of the palm of his hand and scratched him all up and down the his arm. Yeah. And you know what he do but shake it off and everything. And so you know I call the doctor. They he ends up going to get a tetanus shot. So that's all he thought he was going for. And then I'm on the phone with the doctor. I said just go now. He's there. He's going to give you the tetanus shot. And then he says, "Okay, they're waiting for you at the hospital." And my husband's like, "What?" He's like, "Well, you don't know if it was truly a stray or if it w it didn't have a collar on it. No flea collar, no nothing." So I went around the neighborhood and I'm asking people, "Hey, did anyone have a gray this gray cat?" D, but we do have ferals that live in the neighborhood. So So it could have been and Right. And you just don't want to take the chance at that point. I was, you know, due to have a baby in February. So, I'm like, "No, you're not taking a chance. I, you know, you got to be around here for this kid." Yeah. Yeah. You ain't doing this alone. You're no fool. But he made the trip to the hospital by himself and then he got there. It was 17 shots. Wait a minute. You mean over a couple of weeks? You don't mean all that night. No, no, no, no. First Oh, yeah. It went on a couple weeks, but the first time he had to get one directly in where the cat bit him in the palm of his hand on the other side of his hand and that blew up. He said it was like the size of a golf ball. All the fluid that went over just just blew it up. And then um and it's both both side of his arms, both sides of his butt cheeks, both side of his thigh. Like he had 17 shots on that one tray. It was like a big lunch tray that had everything laid out. God, that's for me. Yep. Yep. And um Wow. Go back and then he had to go back every week for a, you know, a shot and then every two weeks for a shot. So the last shot he got was after I gave birth in February 14th and then he went upstairs, he got his last shot and that was that. And uh I did ask the doctor now is he good for three years and you know does he get like a upgrade uh you know like the dogs and cats do? Does does it work that way? Like have you already got the whole series? Is there just like a in the They're like no he'd have to go through it all over again. What a horror show. I know what you're saying. Like if he gets bit by something else in one year, would he still be covered? I Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Wow. Show. Oh yeah. I'm pouring a shot if they bring in 17 shots. Oh yeah. It's like hold on. I got four more shots. Wow. Hold my beer while I grab another. Right. Wow. Wow. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right. Well, we're talking about this because uh that story that Kylie and I talked about last week about the two guys in a row in Saddle River in Bergen County that got attacked by a coyote. They figured out it was the same coyote. They trapped it. They euthanized it. It had rabies. So, we're talking about rabies shots. What do you know about them? 1800283 101.5. Family Farm is open for the fall season. 637 with Jeff Dinsky and Kylie Moore. We're going to have Steve Trevalis coming up after Danny's News at 7:00. Right now, we want to hear about rabies shots. Did you get them? Should you have gotten them? We're not here to scold you. We just want to hear your story. Well, there's one of the reasons I'm asking if you probably should have gotten one and decided not to is because I was told once that I should have gotten it when a squirrel had scratched up my back. And they say even this sounds slightly familiar. Was this happen? Yeah. Yeah, it happened right outside. I was making a phone call. I stepped out of the building and some crazy squirrel like ran up my leg and then it ran up my back and then it got on my shoulder and it like looked right at me. It was like like literally I'm like nose to nose with a freaking squirrel. I didn't know what was on me at first and then it ran halfway back down to my ass, ran back up ran back up to my neck and then ran all the way down and then went up a tree. Did you pay him? What do you mean? Sounds like he got the full service. No. Or her? Yeah. Really? I beg your pardon? No, but it was just like it was a weird thing. It just it just climbed on me. But it it it had several scratch marks on me and people were calling in that day and they were saying, "Dude, they could have rabies. You should get a rabies shot by all rights cuz like I cuz like I went in the bathroom and I was look I I definitely had scratches." And you know, I was naive. It was years ago. I was thinking like, "Oh, it's just like that's only for bites." And they were like, "No, even scratches you could get ra and I should have, but I didn't. I didn't do it." Well, you're still here to tell the tale. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. But I didn't do it. All right. So, anyway, rabies shots. What do you know about them? Have you had to have them? 1800 283101.5. Mike in Bound Brook. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey guys, how's it going? Hey. Hello. No, no, no, no. I was not intimate with a squirrel, Mike. Anyway, so what you want to writing that down? Can you hear me? Yeah. Hello. Can Can you hear us? Oh, sorry. I thought you could hear me. I was walking on the Delaware Ron Canal like over by by Bound Brook maybe half an hour after sunset this summer and I saw a bat flying above my head maybe like five or six feet. I was like, "Ah, that bat's kind of low." I take like three more steps and it it just glances off my face. So, the bat ran the bat ran right into me. Yeah. And uh at least I think it did or was something hit me. Yeah. And I assumed it was the bat. Yeah. So, you know, I started to look it up and figured out what I should do and like I guess I should go to the doctors, but they were closed. It was late. So, I went to the emergency room and wind up getting the whole regimen of the uh of of the rabies shots. Did Did you Could you tell? And bats are tricky. We talked about this earlier. Yeah. Could you tell if it had scratched you or actually bit you or were you not really sure? I I I wasn't sure. It kind of felt like a straight bean bag and like a cornhole game grazed my face. Oh. So, it was like that. It didn't hurt at all. Like I didn't feel anything sharp. I didn't feel a scratch or anything like that. It I think it just kind of bonked off my cheek and kind of hit like like where my glasses are. So, it's possible it tried to scratch my glasses and didn't get me. Yeah. But at first they weren't going to give me the shots cuz they couldn't find a scratch. They couldn't find anything. And then the doctor came back like and like like an hour later and was like everybody give you the shots just to be safe. Yeah. Right. With the bat, this is what I've read and I've read it multiple times from multiple sources. Yeah. Their their teeth can be so fine you might not even find the puncture wound. So yeah, it's probably good they did. Was it painful? How many times did you have to go? Uh so I was there that night then I had to come back three more times. The other the the the the follow-up visits weren't bad. It was just like, you know, getting the flu shot like somebody said. But the imunog globulin, I got like one in each leg and a big shot in in the other arm that I got the vaccine in. So that that was a little bit of an ordeal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That nurse was saying it's like a thick serum or something and Yeah. Do when you get that imunoglobin shot, is it like a slow push? It's like a slow push and it's like big. It's like three times as big as No, more than that. It's like maybe 10 times as big as like a normal shot. So you can kind of see it. You go like, "Oh, that's a lot of that's a lot of stuff." Oh, that's why the one person was who called in said it almost looked like a golf ball. All the fluid in the hand. You would have to knock me out before I get that. That sound Yeah, you could do it. Um, excuse you. I'm barely good with flu shots. You're fine. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that about you. Oh, I'm the person who has to go in and I'm like, I'm going to be a baby about this. I'm going to look away. And they're always like, "It's fine." I'm like, "Sorry." If you get blood drawn, will you look at your vein as they're sticking the needle in? Absolutely not. Oh, I will. I can barely get blood drawn. Really? Like, I can't donate blood. Why? Because the blood stops. What do you mean the blood stops? That's Hold on. I don't I don't want to leave. Yeah. Yeah. Mike, I'm sorry. Mike, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. What? What? What are you talking about? The blood stops. It stopped coming out because I wish I had an explanation, Jeff. I really do. But one time when I tried to donate blood, first of all, I always get woozy. I can't look at it. I have to look away. I have to be listening to a podcast or something. But then one time I I also almost faint. One time I was giving blood and the nur the medical professional who came over the phabotamist perhaps looked over looked at like looked at my arm looked at me looked at my arm looked at me and goes why' the blood stop coming out and I was like I feel like that's what you should answer as I'm like about to pass out. Right. That's so I had to do the like the thing where you you roll something in your hand. Right. Right. Right. And eventually it came out. Oh god. But I don't like that it stopped. This might be a hot take, but I don't love that my blood stopped flowing. See a doctor, man. Oh my god. All right, let's uh let's take Cindy in Flemington. Hey, Cindy. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how are you? Hey, how are you? I'm good. I'm good. No rabies. You're not frothing. Did your blood stop? No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm I'm going to live. I'm going to live. Okay. Okay. Uh, we had a a two-part like my son uh had a bat in his room and he was kind of freaked out. He caught the bat, got rid of the bat. We weren't sure where they came from. But the doctors, to your point about do you take the shots or not, the doctors made him take the shots with no evidence of any kind any kind of, you know. Yeah, that's what they'll do with a bat. Yeah. It's different from other animals. Fast forward a couple of weeks, I'm in my bed and uh it's sort of pre-dawn and a little bit of sleep and there's something fluttering around in my room. I don't really realize it until I sleep on my back until I feel something on my neck. Oh god. Oh god. It was a bat on your neck. I totally serious. And I pushed it away. I'm like, "What the heck?" And I re realized it was a bat in my room. And I went into the mirror and that little divot above your collar bone below your Adam's apple in your throat. I virtually had two little marks. Oh, it got you. Oh, that's freaky. I'm going to call that a vampire bite. Yeah. Right. Exactly. And so I go to the emergency room because we knew I knew it was a bat. And I go to the emergency room and I can't tell you I must have had 15 medical professionals come into my little uh you know uh curtained area. Yeah. Like no way. No way. No way. Yep. And it was uh Yeah. I got bit by that on my neck in the sleeve. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. I know. And and I'm a kid of the of the 60s and 70s. Like Bella the ghosty was a real thing. Yeah. And uh right. Wow. So anyway, they gave me the gamoglobulin shots in my neck. I had four shots directly in my neck. And and from from that lesson, I've learned that I will regardless of of what I look like, I will never get Botox. And uh it hurt. Not where I thought that was going, man. But you know what? You stuck the landing on that one. So what a perfect ending. Yeah. Really? That's a great story. Wow. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Who else has had to go through this? Who's had rabies shots or were you maybe supposed to get them and you didn't? What's your story? 1 800283101.5. Do you have some exterior? 652 Danny Dresenzo's news coming up in 8 minutes. Steve Trevoliss on after that. And uh yeah uh we're talking about the uh very very pleasant experience of having one of those wonderful rabies shots shoved into your body. M immunoglobin is there anything better? 1 800283101.5 Janine and Jackson what's your story? Hi. Hi. I did get bit by that also. Um, I would say the shots are nothing compared to the alternative and there's no cure for a rabies and it's a very horrible experience. So, I would take them even if I found it in the kitchen. There was one the immunoglobin did go into the bite mark. So, that was a little bit uncomfortable, but yeah. And uh and the tetanis shot I had because I was just about 10 years. So they gave me a tennis and I had one in the one arm like each leg, each arm and then the shot in uh this the bite mark. I did not feel it bite me. I scared him. It was my my own fault. I was exploring something and my hand was there. He bit me just above my glove on my wrist and I didn't know till I got to Wawa and I stopped to wash my hand and I saw the blood. It looked like two exclamation points because they have canine teeth. So, it looked like an exclamation point, but on a slight angle, I flushed the blood out. Yeah. And I didn't know it was a bat bite until the more I thought about it and I realized what I was where I was. And so, I peeled the skin off because I had to get the blood out. I had to get the blood out. I know you got to get that that out of there. So, to scrub it real good and then I got in my vehicle and I put alcohol wipes all over it. I did go to the hospital. I wound up getting um like I said, the five shots that first day. Then I had to go back three days later for another shot and then five days after that for another shot and then also take oral antibiotics. And I'm sorry, where where where were you when this bat got you? I was I was exploring, you know, I was exploring something and it was like a piece of slab of concrete on top of another slab of concrete and I was trying to pull a rock out from under there. So, I guess he thought I was trying to grab him and he bit me and I didn't feel it at all. I did not even if Thank God it bled because I would not have known he bit me. So, I would just say so if you look up um approximately November of last year, a child in Canada got the parents found a baby found a bat in the in the child's room. So, they checked the child. They couldn't find any bites and they asked the child and the child said they did not feel anything so they didn't do anything and the child has passed away. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's horrible. But that's what could Yeah, that's the thing about bats. You won't even necessarily know. That's what I was saying. I know it's cliche, but better safe than sorry. Get the show. Absolutely. Oh, that's tragic. Janine, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right, follow that, Steve. Yeah. Well, on that light, kids dying and all. Well yeah, good luck Steve.
