Who would have thought hell would really exist and that it would be in New Jersey. Screaming at people at gas stations is a New Jersey tradition. From Caucus, New Jersey. It's everybody's favorite game show. Oh, there's nothing in the world like action. The North calls this a sub, while the South calls it a hogy. The north calls this Taylor ham and the south calls it pork roll. Hey, you talking about Jersey? Me and my friends are from Jersey. Oh crap, there's more of them. Hey, come on. There's people from Jersey all over. Who here is from Jersey? I guess I can walk home every day over by a good bridge and day cuz down the shore everything's all around. The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon. their weekends on the Jersey Shore. What do you hear? What do you say? Live from New Jersey. It's Dominsky and more on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how you doing? Good afternoon. It's Jeff and Kylie with you. I'm Jeff Minsky. I'm Kylie Moore. There's really no way to draw that one out. more. You could kind of go like that. More. Uh, we hope you're having a good day. And I was just looking at some of these temperatures. Now, it's nothing like it's going to be tomorrow or the next day. That's when it's going to be really bad. But there are certain spots already that would uh qualify this for a heat wave in these towns. Once you combine them with a few more days uh like Vinand where it's always what? Like is Vineland constantly on fire? Are there lava pits in Vineland? Hey Siri, call Danzaro. Do you know? I mean, because when I was in school, they didn't teach us about that, but you went later than me. Maybe by then. Were they teaching you that there are lava? Is there a volcano in Vinland? Because it's always warmer there. I was just being uh I was just being taught about acid rain. So that's my main concern. Yeah. Um Yeah, but it's 95 in Vinand. It's 90 in Hillsboro. 07065 raw where I grew up is 91. It's 92 in Perth Amboy. A lot of places it's in the upper 80s though, but there are places that are already above 90 at 212 in the afternoon. And uh yeah, so in those towns, you throw in a few more days above 90, it's going to qualify for a heat wave. It's going to be bad. I'll get my uh ice packs ready. Yeah. Um, you know, you did this when you were a camp counselor in your youth. You worked outdoors, right? No air conditioning, correct? Was that probably the only job? Not that that doesn't count because I mean, you're not only outdoors, you're in like the blazing sun outdoors, right? Mhm. That's got to suck. You enjoyed it. You enjoyed it. I was so tan. Well, oh, was my hair was so blonde. Was that the Was that the Were those the two perks that you enjoyed about it or did you like working with the kids? Oh, the kids shaping those young minds? Absolutely. Some of the kids. I got to be so tan. I know that one kid Cooper you did not care for, but other than that Cooper kid. Yeah. Um because I wanted to ask with the heat that is uh bearing down on us today and especially the next few after this, who has to work with no air conditioning this week? Who's got an outdoor job? Who's got a job? Maybe you're in a delivery vehicle and all you've got is like a little fan on the dashboard blowing at you. The AC is either not working or it doesn't even have it in there. I would think that more and more places are going to be air conditioned today. But there are still going to be those jobs that espe I mean obviously if you work outdoors, you just what are you going to do? Um, then yeah, like if you're like a a guy's got to crawl around people's attics, you know, like you're laying down insulation or something like that or you're an HVAC guy, you're only there when the AC isn't working and you got to bring it back online and then you get to leave after they get comfortable. That's got to suck. But who has to work with no air conditioning this week? 1 800 283101.5. But no, camp counselor is not the only job that I worked that was uh well, if you could consider this, there are jobs that are like half in air conditioning, half out. Like if you work events, if you work promotions Uhhuh. you could be outdoors for like from 6:00 a.m. until discounts 1000 p.m. Yeah. Oh, discounts. Really get a break if you're setting up, let's just say a a beer festival, a 5K, one of those, any sort of like events that's like a one day thing. Uh-huh. I've worked plenty of those counts. Yeah. If even part of the job, if even part of the job has no air conditioning, we want to hear from you. You are our honorary heroes of this week and uh we just want to give you basically like a verbal pat on the back because it's going to be a brutal week. I was up the road at a 7-Eleven and I was just getting some diet sodas. I don't know if you ever noticed, but I tend to drink diet sodas. So anyway, I was getting my diet sodas and I'm walking back out and there's this woman who is probably far too old to be still working, let alone working at a 7-Eleven. And I felt bad for her, unless she's just trying to keep busy. I'm feeling like, oh, she probably needs the money, you know? And I mean, she had to be probably like in her late 70s and she's still working. So anyway, she's outside and she was doing something like she was like scrubbing down or mopping down the sidewalks, but it was on the outside, not the inside of the building. And she's out there in the blazing sun. And all I could think was like, why would they send you out here? Maybe she likes it. Maybe, maybe. I don't know. I don't know who would like that the the heat that we're starting to get, though. I mean, it's already starting to get hot out there, but maybe she does. I don't know. All right. But uh we want to know who has to work with no air conditioning this particular week. 1 800283101.5. I really feel for the anyone who's working with like roofing or pavement where it's like well yeah it's let's say let's see it's um 84 degrees outside but with the heat of the tar it's a million degrees. Those are the people where it's like how do you do it? How do you cool down? Do you ever get used to it? a question we always ask. Yeah. I just I can't imagine doing it. They just keep drinking. They just Oh, I can imagine keep on drinking. Yeah. I was talking with somebody today, too, about the difference between This is somebody who used to live in uh Vegas. And when you live there, it can be much hotter than it is here this week, but it feels much better because there's no humidity at all. And it's that classic old joke. cuz it's like, oh, but it's a dry heat. But it really does make a huge difference. And uh yeah, I would much rather be in Vegas or Arizona with 114° say, but no humidity. That's a lot more comfortable than what it's going to be, say, tomorrow here with with humidity. Much worse. Let's talk to uh here's a name, Shopppee in Middletown. Is that a uh how did you get that nickname? I'm assuming it's a nickname or is it not? Uh, yeah, it's part of my last name. It's a It's a business nickname. I'm not Okay, that's cool. All right, that's cool. An iron worker. Okay. Oh, so I guess that's the very job we're talking about then with no air conditioning. Absolutely. I mean, when we get a heat wave like this, you could literally fry an egg on an iron. Okay. Now, there's different levels of this. So, are are you the guy that's like up tall with like the framework of a skyscraper? Yes, sir. Structural steel from the ground up. So, not only are you dealing with the with the weather, but you've also just got to have nerves of steel for that job. I mean, nobody with a fear of heights can do this job, right? No, absolutely not. Not not unless they uh hang you out of the window until you're ready to say, "I'm not scared anymore." Right. Right. What's the highest you've worked? 28 stories. Yeah. No, I mean, how high did you get before the No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Pretty high. I I get pretty high in the morning, you know. As long as the bosses aren't listening. Well, yeah. Work's getting done. I mean, seriously, you're talking like half the height of the world trade. That's crazy. Wow, Shabi. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank I I can talk about traffic, but Shappy, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. I uh Who's got a job where you got no air conditioning this week? Even if it's only part of the day. Maybe you're out like, you know, uh running deliveries as part of it and uh maybe there's no AC in the truck or whatever. Who's got to work with no AC? 1800 283101.5 219. Here's fast traffic. Got it. Jam Minsky and more on New Jersey 101.5. As we sit here in air conditioning, feel guilty on days like this. It's cush. It's always cush. It's cushy job compared to what some people have to do. And I mean, and I've done jobs that did not have the benefit of air conditioning. So, it's not like I don't know what that's like. I mean, I remember working in a warehouse. I think it was in um I always do this. I can never remember. It was like either like on the board I think it was I think it was Hillside is where it was, I think. Um but anyway, that was like a sweat box, man. There was absolutely no air conditioning in this uh back warehouse and the heat would just get trapped in there and man, it was miserable. you would just sweat all day long. But still, that's not as bad as like, you know, um like an asphalt or something like that cuz then you or being a roofer where that heat is radiating up at you. That's got to be the worst kind. So, we're talking about jobs that you've have to work this week and you do not have the benefit of air conditioning. What is it that you do? 1800 283 101.5. Jack in Mount Holly here on New Jersey 101.5. Hey guys, how are you? Hi Jack. We're nice and cool. What about you? Well, what do you hear? What I do? So, I own a business uh in Mount Holly. Uh I own a laundry service. Uh we have 30 dryers. Um and we process laundry all summer. It's pointless to even turn on the air conditioning because it's like throwing bricks into the Grand Canyon. It just simply does not work. Right. And and and by the way, we we also have a rapid weight loss program too combined because when we're in there, you just you we literally have to step outside the shop to cool down because that's a hot we I tested the ambient temperature in our in our business. It's 140 degrees sometimes on average and the humidity is well over 100%. It's it's absolutely But you know what? I I love it. It's a good thing. I wish I could mention my business name, but uh it's it's try doing what we do. And I I I do feel sorry for the other folks that are out there like laying asphalt, working on RS, but How big right up there with them? Well, how big or small a company is this? Um we are we are the New Jersey uh aspect of the business. Uh we supply all the um the uh the camps that are up in the Poconos and whatnot. So I'm actually bringing a load back now. Um, so I we we process about 300 campers uh per camp and we have three of them now. So it's like we're in there 20 247. You could mention the business then. Go ahead. Yeah, I don't see why not. So our business name and please don't take it. It's called we wash it. So we we will pick up your laundry, we will wash it, we will dry it and deliver it back to you. Um, some if you take it the wrong way, it can kind of spell the wrong way. But, um, that's Thank you for putting a large space between we really, you know what though? Uh, my business partner is a great guy. He came up with the name and uh, but I'll tell you what, I love it. It's my retirement job. I'm 61 years old now. Uh, and I'm a police officer now. He came up with the name. Did anybody ever tell him? You know what? Yeah. just like Yeah, we have actually. But, you know, he's he's a good dude, you know, like I said, and uh we're working very very hard. It was our third year in business. Um you know, anybody wants to try and get into this, it's it's actually very lucrative, but uh we're we're chugging along and we're doing what we got to do. So, um, my my mom I come from uh I come from basically a pretty poor family and uh and my poor mom, she was forced, it's a long story, but she was forced to drop out of school. Did not want to, but she was forced to uh and uh she was forced to go to work uh at 13 years old working 65 hours a week in a hot in a hot laundry as you are describing. Imagine a 13-year-old kid in that 140°. This is exactly what my mom did at 13. Well, I sympathize with her because you're talking to a man who's been working since he's been 8 years old. If I wanted a bike with my family didn't have nothing. And if I wanted a bike or I wanted to do this, I deliver newspapers. I bag groceries. I You know, I you you're talking to literally a jack of all trades. And I I I commend anyone, especially your mother, to do what you you got to do what you got to do. Um, and and I don't worry about the heat, I just think, you know what, this is not this is my retirement job. You know, like I said, I was I'm still I still part time as a police officer in Bucks County. You know, I I do what I got to do. But to to all those people that are calling up and they have these hot jobs, I sympathize with them. And I'll tell you what, keep doing what you're doing because I I work as hard as you can, you know, and and I'm so I'm glad to hear that your mother did what she had to do because I bet you you learned a lot from her. I I I would imagine that for sure. Yeah, I actually did. Hey, Jack, thank you. Thanks for calling in. Yeah, well put, Jack. Thank you. So, we are starting off uh well, it's going to be a heat wave for several days. It's only getting worse from here on out. And we want to know who this week is working with no air conditioning. 1800 283 101. All right, we're back with Dinsky and more on New Jersey 101.5, where somehow one simple question turns into a fullon Jersey debate. New Jersey 101.5. I'm Jeff Deinsky. Uh Kylie Moore and we're talking about the heat and we want to know who's got a job this week that you just don't have access to air conditioning or at least part of the day you've got no uh air conditioning. 1 800283101.5. Kyle and Jackson, you're on New Jersey 101.5. How's it going y'all? How are you? Hey Kyle, we're good. Hope you're doing well. So, uh, I work for a, uh, roadside assistance for AAA, um, doing like tire changing, batteries, and lockouts and stuff. And, uh, I'm in a van all day, and the van's got pretty crappy AC at the moment, uh, not really working right. But nine times out of 10, I spend the majority of my day outside on the side of the road fixing cars. Yeah, that's uh, Yeah. And they never break down in the shade, do they? No. No, they don't. Right. Right. Um, do you do you have like a work order put in? Are they going to do anything about the AC? Even though, like you said, 90% of the time you're not even in it, but still it would be a little bit of relief. Are they going to fix this thing or no? Yeah. I I made a mention to my uh my boss this morning about it and I was like, "Is there any can like recharge the AC in my van or something cuz it's not working." And he jokingly said, "Ah, you'll be fine. You can handle it." I'm like, "Thanks, man. Appreciate that. Yeah. And he says, "Yeah, just call Triple A. They'll fix it." Exactly. So, the the worst part, honestly, is doing tire changes. I'm laying on the hot asphalt, you know, trying to get my jack under the car and especially when I'm on like the side of 18 or 195 doing it's not the most ideal. What do you think is worse, Kyle? Working in this kind of heat or working in the cold? Honestly, the cold is worse because the cold my my hands my hands freeze up and like all the metal objects that I have that I use for work are ice cold and like I can't get my hand to work on the tool properly. Well, yeah. They go numb. Yeah. So, I mean, at least when it's warm out, the everything's, you know, it's hot to the touch, but it's a lot easier for me to maneuver and and all that stuff. I don't know. then the hands get all sweaty or am I just speaking for myself? I mean I mean I wear gloves when I'm doing tire changes and stuff so like my hands are kind of protected. Um but I think lockouts suck too because like when you're leaning against the car, the car is just burning hot and you're burning your arms trying to get the the tool inside the door just to unlock it. Do you get decent tips? Do most people tip? A good majority of them do. Um, a lot of the like the older cars, people with older cars will tip, whereas the newer cars, they're just like, "Oh, thank you. Have a great day." And then they drive away. I'm like, "Oh, okay." Really? Because you got to figure those are the people probably that are making more money if it's a later model car. Mhm. And for some reason, a lot of the newer cars are breaking down more. They're the these curbs come out of nowhere, and people are just hitting curbs left and right and popping the tires. Geez, what a mess. All Hey, Kyle, we appreciate you calling in. Yeah, thank you, Kyle. I'm not going to say stay cool because how can you? That's the whole point of what we're talking about. Who has a job this week where you have very limited may maybe no air conditioning at all? 1 800283101.5. Michael and Brick, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey Mike, what's your job? Hey, I'm a pool guy out here representing. You know, we're cleaning your pools and it's so hot. You know, you all need to be swimming. So here, you know, somebody's got to clean it out here in this 100 degree weather. Is that uh Now, this is maybe a dumb thing to even think because obviously you can't jump in the pool, but uh Okay. He either we either lost the connection or he hung up. All right. Well, I don't know. Rest in power. Yeah. Yeah. Who knows? Who knows where that was going. All right. So, anyway, we're talking about uh we're talking about the heat wave. Did you see by any chance in uh I think that yeah this was Aspbury Park Press they did this roundup of the 10 hottest days that New Jersey ever had. Ooh. And what's and and the only thing the only thing that's really interesting about it is people will talk about global warming. I believe in the science of that. I'm not saying that climate change is not real. I think it has been so proven over and over again. I think there is absolutely truth to this. But a lot of people will think, "Oh, well then it must have not been so hot, you know, like a 100 years ago." Well, 100 years ago was kind of like a tiny little blip in time compared to, you know, planet Earth um and and recorded temperatures. But some of them go way back and some of them are much much more recent. But the 10 hottest days um the hottest day ever on record in the state of New Jersey according to this article anyway was in Oldbridge uh Oldbridge Middle Sex County it says and it was 110° was the hottest ever and this was July 10th 1936 so this is before my parents were even alive so that goes way way back. Um, the next was 108° recorded at Newark Liberty International Airport and that was in 2011 on a July 22nd. 106° was the hottest day recorded in Atlantic City, but that goes back to 69. Then it was another 106° in New Brunswick. That one goes that one goes all the way back to 1901. Wow. Right. So 125 years ago that predates the talkis it might I don't even know what was going on in I mean yeah that's turn of a century there 19 July 2nd 1901 and it's funny because people will see a stat like that that's the fourth hottest on record in New Jersey and they'll say yeah well see that was 1901 there's no global warming that doesn't mean there's no global warming yeah that's why we call it climate change right um yeah and then from there. It just goes to like 1918, 1953, 2010, 2010, uh 1949. So, it's like all over the place. But yeah, we are going to be having some very, very seriously bad temperatures in the next couple of days. And we want to know who's had a job maybe this week you're working that job where you just have no air conditioning at all or it's limited. 1 800 283101.5. How bad was it when you did the camp counseling? And I know that's not the only thing you did outdoors, but that was a daily thing, right? Uh yeah, but there were bad there were bad enough days where they would just shut down activities where it's like, you know what, no one's playing softball today. No one's playing soccer. We're all just going in the pool. Everyone just go in the pool. Okay. Yeah. Was this the kind of place there was no indoor facility? Right. Uh this this particular camp there was but the other camps that I the other camp that I worked at there was not. But okay, this was the one where there were indoor facilities and they were just like just just swim. Just everyone swim. Was the indoor facility air condition? Yes. Oh, really? Oh, but they still wanted the kids to be active somehow. Yeah, because the indoor facility was like a a cooking activity, so there would be ovens on. Oh, yeah. Not worth it. We're not making cookies today. Let's go. Yeah. Everyone go on the water slide. Yeah. Well, and and that was a day where I um and at that camp I worked as a photographer. I wasn't even in charge of children. I was supposed to be taking pictures of the activities. And I went to my boss and I was like uh I'm not going to say her name. I was like, "Boss, I there there's nothing to take pictures of. I I have to go in the pool." And she was like, "I totally understand." Oh, nice. So, you didn't have to do anything? Oh, yes. You had to be there, but you didn't have to really do anything. She was an amazing boss. I loved her so much. But yeah, she like typically a very like stern person was just like, "Go in the pool. I like I don't care about pictures today." Right? Like that's how hot it got. I had a I had a job I had a job um where it was half on the road and half in a blueprint shop. The blueprint shop I was helping running this machine, but it didn't throw off a lot of heat and at least there was air conditioning inside. But for four to five of the 8 hours a day, about 5 hours a day, I was on the road delivering. And that damn pickup truck I had to drive to deliver all the stupid blueprints, uh, no air conditioning whatsoever. It was just like a blower and there was a blower that would just blow like intensely humid hot air on you and that was your pleasure. That was it. So, right, I wanted to get back and run the machine. All right. So, we're talking about jobs that do not have uh air conditioning or maybe only part of the time. What What's your job? 1800 283 101.5. Here's a look at fast traffic station New Jersey 101.5. It is 255. We've got news coming up in 5 minutes. I'm Jeff Deinsky along with Kylie Moore. And uh we're talking about the heat. Who's got to work with no air conditioning this week? What kind of job? 1 800283101.5. Matt in Lake Hopat Kong. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey guys. So, my thing was Wild West City. Oh, Wild West City. Is that that thing? Uh up in Is that Sussex County? Yep. Up in up in Stanh Hope. This is like a Is it an amusement park the right term? Yeah. Well, it's a theme park. Yeah, theme park. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, better. Um, they do like the reenactments of shootouts in the street and stuff. Exactly. It's the whole city's based on the original Dodge City from from like Wyatt Herp times. And so when you're playing cowboy there, that's when you're playing Wait a minute. Wait a minute. When you say playing cowboy, you don't get to just drop that on us. What What exactly did you have to do? We were the actor. I was one of the actors there performing the shows. Okay. What would you perform? Were you part of the shootouts? Yeah, we would do the shootouts of the OK Corral. No way. All sorts. Yeah, it's all sorts. They're still open. They're still there. So, but when you're when you're playing a good guy like Wyatt Herp, you're in black jeans, cowboy boots, a wool frock coat, like a long coat, frock coat, and with holster on, white button-d down shirt, vest looking and a black cowboy hat. When you're playing a bad guy, you're in black jeans, sometimes leather chaps, leather vest, bandana around your neck, vest, long sleeve shirts all the time. You dreamt of being on horseback just so you can get a breeze. How? And of course, you're out in the sun, right? There's like not a lot of shade. There is no shade on the main street where they do the shows. How many shows a a shift would you have to do? So, we did when we were there, when I was there, they changed the schedule now, but when I was there, it was 26 shows between 10:30 in the morning and 6:00 p.m. Okay. So, how long does a shootout show last? Each show lasted about 15 minutes. Okay. All right. So, you barely have time to recoup and then you're going right back in. Now, now, now here's a goofy question. You must get asked this a lot when people find this out about you. Did you um when you do something like that, is it all tightly choreographed and when you have your role, you do the same exact thing every time? Not every time. No, we actually we actually had we took turns with the speaking roles and the back the back pacers. You know what I mean? Right. But like let's say you were playing Wyatt Herp. Does Wyatt Herp shoot like the same number of times, shoot the same number of people, jump over the same fence like every time? Like that? Every time. Yep. Okay. And then you play a different role. Then you're doing whatever that character does every time. Exactly. Yep. What's your favorite line that you got to deliver in a speaking role? Oh jeez, that's a hard one. Uh, probably playing Billy Clayton in the Okay Crowd and he says, "We run this town, Wyatt, and I'm here to prove it." Uh, nothing a little more folksy like, "Well, that their varmman is lower than a rattlesnake and a wagon rope. Come on. Rattlesnake and a wagon rut. That's pretty good." We I used to do the Pony Express there. We used to we had a a quick like two-minute show of Pony Express where you just like ride up and down and hand mail to people. What do you do? So well so that doesn't sound as cool. I got to be honest with you. The Pony Express was the original Pony Express. So the guy was on horseback with his male satch and he dropped it off in one town and they had another horse ready for him to leave to with their mail to go to the next town. Yeah. So I would gallop in switch. As I switch horses, I would actually hang off the side of the horse during a full gallop just because you want it to be quick. Yeah. The Pony Express switch is quick. So you would hang off the side of the horse and then mount while the horse is in a full gallop. Wow, man. Matt, I'm sorry. We did not mean to interrogate you. It's just we were never expecting this kind of job. It was fascinating. Never talked to a cowboy actor before. And just like we can't say that anymore, right? Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5, partner. Yeah. All right. Um, hey, we're going to be talking about summer jobs coming up. Also, there are uh there are some bad stories about drones at area airports that have been menacing planes. We're going to talk about that later on as well. Uh, we've got uh we got news right now. New Jersey 101.5. The Bet Parks online casino and sports book app chime time is 311. It is the Deinsky and More Show hanging out with you on this toasty Tuesday afternoon. I'm Kylie Moore and I'm Jeff Deinsky. Yeah, it's only going to be getting hotter and hotter and uh we just heard uh Dan Zaro a few minutes ago saying Friday is absolutely going to be the worst. It's going to be in the hundreds probably by by Friday. So yeah, you got that you got that going for you. Enjoy your uh possible day off. There you go. And by the way, before we start talking about jobs, can I say one quick thing? Yeah, of course. Today is my mom's last day of working. In two hours, she will be retired. What? What? When did this happen? It It will happen two hours from now. She will be retired at a close of business today. Has this been planned for some time or was this like a sudden decision? Jeff, she has had a countdown clock. Oh, I just Yeah. Yeah. I I didn't know she is uh oh, she's definitely mentioned it to you. She mentioned it to anyone who will listen. Um but yeah, she uh this is her last day of working. She's retiring after many, many years of doing a job that she will never fully explain to me. Uh so therefore, all I will say is I'm very proud of her and I'm happy for her retirement. Wow. Well, congrats to her. Congrats to Kathy. Yeah, she's not listening. She's working for the next two hours. But can you believe So they going to downsize? They're going to get rid of that house? No, they're going to keep they're going to keep working on it. If there's one thing I if there's one thing I've learned about it's big parents retirement is that they they find new places to hang towels. Their their new job is house, right? Like Ken's job was beach movie. Their job is house. Their job will be garden. Yeah, but man, that's just I thought that's what retired people do. They downsize. You retire and then you go into like a a little box. You go into a small box, don't you? Isn't that what retired people do? Not quite yet. No. But can you believe that someone scheduled a meeting with her between 4:00 and 4:30 today? For what? That's her. To discuss what? To say goodbye. What I was told in the family group chat was a person scheduled a meeting between 4 and 4:30. Quote, because she's panicking. It's like, oh, that is poor form. Oh, I got you. It's like, no, wait. How do we do all the these things I should have learned to do myself 5 years ago? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't leave. Don't leave. Yeah. Wow. Well, good for her. Yay. Congrats to her. There you go. All right. All right. So, for the people who uh aren't retired. Ah, we're talking about summer jobs. Yeah. Kind of almost flipped that because for a lot of people when they were kids, this all this could be your first job. Not necessarily. A lot of the first jobs were after school jobs. But when you were a kid, did you look for that summer job? I was joking during the news. I said, "Or a teacher." Because they don't work. A lot of teachers will like bartend in the summer and things like that, but when you were a kid, what was your summer job? What did you end up doing? Did you have a really cool one or or were you me? 1 800283101.5. I never had a cool job. Never had a cool job. This is the only cool job I've ever had. Anything else I ever did, anybody would be like, "Oh, poor bastard." Gh. Yeah. Any job I had outside of doing this was never a not even like a decent job. It was just a oh, you poor guy job, right? Like what? Like what kind? Oh, well, I mean like not just a summer job, but like any job like Well, first of all, what summer jobs would you have wanted to have? And then what did you have? Okay. Well, and this is my own fault because I didn't live close enough to the shore. Couldn't really figure out how to make it happen. But the ultimate cool job would be either well and I couldn't do this because I I I was not a good swimmer. But to be a lifeguard, that might be the ultimate cool job. Or or to be one of those kids that works the boardwalk where you're like working those like, you know, step right up, blow a hole in that balloon, and win a win an overrated, mediocre miniature prize that is not even the value of what you plunk down to blow that balloon up. Here's a small dusty Bart Simpson. Right. Exactly. Right. with one eye missing. Step right up, right? To be like a barker on the boardwalk to be that kid. Those would be cool jobs. Uh maybe to be a ride operator. I don't know how old you have to be, but like any job on a boardwalk when you're a teenager. That would have been a cool job. Oh, I would love to ask Dan Zaro how old he was when he was a ride operator at Six Flags cuz I know he worked at Great Adventure, right? Yep. Anybody working at a place like Great Adventure would have also been cool. Now, I didn't grow up in Monmouth County, but Oh, yeah. If you grew up in Monmouth County or Ocean County and in the eastern end of it, oh, these would have been the jobs to have. Would love to talk to someone who worked at Great Adventure because it just seems like such a cool job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I wonder either there or like the rides at Wildwood or Seaside Heights to be a ride operator on Point Pleasant or Point Pleasant. I wonder how old you have to be. Is there a law about that? Can you be 17 and be a ride operator? No idea. No clue. Close enough. Never looked into it. I want to say Zar was a teenager, but I don't want to speak for him. So, take that with a grain of salt. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if you have to be 18 or not, but right. To me, those would be cool jobs, but the kind of jobs I always had, like they were just I mean, it's fine if yours were like mine. And I'm just curious what you did for a summer job. But like my first job, and it was in the summer, uh I I worked in a grocery store, but not even Oh, boo. What? Yeah. Oh, no. I know. But it's worse than just working in a grocery store. It wasn't even working in a grocery store running a register. At least you get to talk to people. You were a bagger. I was a janitor. Remember I told I was a janitor. Oh, this rings a bell. Yeah. All I did was scrub. All I did was clean. That's all I did. And it you're not even in a position where like you're just having to constantly keep on the move. You're mopping all the floors. If a kid pukes on aisle 7, you got to go clean it. If somebody misses the toilet, you got to go clean the men's room. And by the way, the ladies room is just as disgusting. Let me let you in on that little secret, guys. We have different fluids that could come out, so I believe. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Too much hovering goes on in a women's room. Yeah. That was just as disgusting. You guys have two different things that could come out. We have three. Um, what was the worst thing that you had to clean up? Clean up if you could keep it friendly. Um, the worst thing that summer I will keep it very vague. Okay. It was in the It was in the men's room. Mhm. Somebody entirely didn't even try to go into the toilet. And and I'm not talking about P. They got the pants down just on the floor. They got the pants down and that was it. Just on the floor. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Like why in God's name? Why in God's name would you do that? How close to a turlet was it? As far away as they could make it. It was literally across the room. I do not understand why they would do this. Well, see, well, that seems like an emergency. If it was like an inch away, that seems meant. That seems like an intentional attack. If it was far away, that seems like it was uh it was God's will. This was this No, this was in Yeah, this was targeted. I don't know what happened. And I actually got the call on the uh they had a little PA system and I I I was in the middle of like cleaning other stuff. I was in the middle of clean at night once the deli counter closed down, the whole meat department closed down. I had to uh meticulously clean and disassemble all those slicers and everything and get all the meat scraps and clean it very pure and cuz health inspectors would come and look at that stuff, you know. Good. And so I'm in the middle of cleaning all that and that's already disgusting. And then I was like, uh, Jeff, come to the men's room here, Jeff. Because the big boss had gone in there, seen what ungodly thing occurred, and all of a sudden he brought me in. I'm getting too old for this. Oh, yeah. I just Yeah. Yeah. That's when I started really reassessing. So anyway, uh what was your summer job? Has to be better than that. 1 800283 101.5. It is 319. Here's Fast Traffic with Dominsky and more on New Jersey 101.5. Yes, sir. It is 3:26 with Jeff Dinsky and Kylie Moore. We are talking about summer jobs that you have. We will have Dan Alexander's news coming up in just about three minutes. I was seeing yesterday on the I want to say it's the Freehold Township Insta page that it was the first day of summer camp yesterday and man did that get me nostalgic for my time working at camp. Yeah. Yeah. We want to hear about your summer jobs at 1800 283101.5 real quick. Yeah. My boys um are at a special kids summer camp for part of the summer. Okay. Scares the hell out of me, but I'm glad they're doing it. Well, obviously not a sleepaway camp, right? Not a sleepa away camp. No, no, no. That would be that would be too much. But, uh, you know, uh, they they both have autism, but one of them is pretty severe. And so, you just hope that it's like the same level of a watchful eye, you know, cuz a lot of it is outdoors. I would hope it the one who likes to run. Yeah. I would hope it would be a heightened level of a watchful eye. Yeah. Well, I mean Well, yeah. Like, uh, but as good as the program at school is what I mean, cuz they're really good there. But it's like I hope this is just as good. But yeah, it's intimidating. Anyway, yeah. What were your uh what were your summer jobs when you were growing up? 1 800283101.5. Dawn in Tom's River. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. Hey, Don. So, what did you do? I worked at Six Flags from the time I was 16 till like I was 18. Uh which uh the Great Adventure or the Safari? Uh in the park. I was I worked Uh, I started out pushing I started out pushing the hot dog carts. Yeah. And 100 Yeah, that was disgusting. 100 degree weather. Well, yeah. But you got free hot dogs, right? No. No. No. No. No. And to this day, I can't stand the smell of sauerkraut from standing over the hot dog cart. Really? Well, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. You never even like even just once, you never just like reached in and just like stole one even if you weren't supposed to. Oh, god. No, just the thought of it right now makes me sick. Okay. Well, what did you graduate to? What else did you do there? Uh, I sold balloons. I used to walk around with the balloons and the like an umbrella over my head with the balloons. That was fun. You You never You never got to the point of being like a ride operator where you could like, you know, shoot some obnoxious kid into oblivion. No, that scared me. Really? That scared me. I didn't want I was going to say too much responsibility. Okay. I I hesitate to ask this, but we do have a coworker who worked at Great Adventure, and he said that at night the the parties could get a little um I could say it delicately if you want me to. Yeah. He said that there were these like foreign exchange students that would come over and some of them would like live there in little c and he said it was just like an allout orgy at night. Oh, well, I don't know about that. I mean, I was I old so I was there back in Yeah. Yeah. So is he. Early 80s, maybe late 70s, early 80s. Yeah, so was he. Yeah, it did. I don't know about the orgies, but it did get crazy. Oh, he said it was just Oh, he said it was just like a skin fest. Oh goodness. Oh, it was like the movie Caligula except with roller coasters. Oh yeah. See, I told you I would be delicate. Don, here's why I hesitate to ask. Because my father worked there around the same time. You didn't work with a Gary Moore, did you? Oh god, I don't think so. I was there the year that the the castle burned down. The haunted castle. No way. Oh, that's so horrifying. I was there that night. Yeah, that was bad. Yeah. Oh, I'm Yeah. So frustrated that we're up against the news because I could talk about you for the rest of the hour. But that had to have been so horrifying. Yeah. Yeah. And we went as we were leaving, we were told to make sure we did not speak to anybody once we left the park. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It was sad. No reporters. Wow. Don again could talk to you for the next 30 minutes, but thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We appreciate it. Don, you stick to your balloons and you keep your mouth shut about this thing. Yeah, that's what I said to her on the way out. Even 40 years later on the radio. That's right. Don't say nothing. All right, so we're talking about summer jobs. What were your summer jobs, good or bad? 1800 283 101 to Dominsky and more afternoons on New Jersey 101.5. Ah, hey, we want to know when you were a kid, what kind of summer job did you have? I never had a cool one. And you know, only people who had the cool ones are going to want to call. Like, no one no one is going to be like me and like, "Yeah, I was also a janitor at a godforsaken grocery store all summer. My head was in a dumpster." No one's going to want to tell that, but that was my experience. Those are welcome, though. Oh, they are welcome. That's what I would Yeah, I would love to not feel alone, but I bet you they won't want to tell them. Oh man. 1 800283101.5. What were some of your summer jobs? Rich in Mercerville, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey Rich, where did you work? Good. Good afternoon. Good topic. Yeah, I was a janitor in a nursing home, but later on I uh Wait, were you Wait, wait a minute. Wait, wait. You were a janitor at a nursing home for real or were you just joking about what I For real. No. Oh, you really were. All right. Oh, yeah. But after that, when I went to college, I worked at Hershey Park. I um I was a ride operator. Me out of the line. And um uh then I went I was the abandoned on the railroad. I sold a goal and I got killed every five minutes all day long. And then the following year I was a purple skunk and I used to entertain kids before they go on their rides and I ended up being on the Albert show every week. Okay. Yeah, I know. He was that was that out of Philadelphia? Wasn't he like a child show? Yeah, I vaguely knew now. Yeah, we busted up on we busted out into the stage while he was doing a performance and I thought I was we were going to get fired but he loved it so much he put us in the show every week. We're in the furry tales. We only lasted there a couple of years. Playing the playing the skunk. Was it like a full costume with like a like the mascot head that you had to put your real head into and all that? Six foot tail, huge huge nose, and I was a female, but I had to wear but the s the tail was so heavy they had to have a guy do it. Um and um we danced around and we we already had a pre-tape and we were actually found ways to go on rides with kids. They'd throw my tail up over I could go on the log flume but obviously I couldn't go on the roller coaster. So um and they were very very hot. I was sweating just thinking about what you're saying. That was my next question. How how long would you have to stay in that costume before taking a break? Was it in without passing out? We could only do 15 minutes and we went back in and then we come back out again. And then all and then like all afternoon you just kept going back out as the skunk. Oh yeah. Yeah. We had a skunk, a bear, and a chipmunk. Was it one of those costumes that had the fan in it at least to blow the hot air on you? Yeah, they did, but they but they never worked right, you know? Uh we had these cooling suits, but they never worked. We just we just drank a lot of water. We were kids, so we could do it. And were you constantly saying to the boss, "How do I get back as a ride operator?" Cuz you're like, "You got to get me out of this skunk suit." Seriously, all the ride operators wanted to do what I was doing cuz we, you know, we had a blast. Okay. Well, what was worse? Be being a janitor in a nursing home or or in the or being the skunk? You tell me. I'm not sure. Yeah, I genuinely don't know, actually. Oh my god. Down there in the nursing home is the worst. And it was worse. I had to rather be the skunk. Wow. Okay. Oh, always. I would love to go back and do it now, but I'm 73 and I would die. Well, yeah. And for a nursing home janitor, think about what they're probably cleaning up and nobody say it out loud. Yeah. So, exactly. You know what? That's fair, right? Rich, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Man, oh man. He had a little of good and bad there. Yeah, really. All right. We're talking about summer jobs. 1 800283101.5. Kathy and Manisquan, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Yes. I was calling to say that all through college and grad school, I worked summers at the Haunted Mansion in Long Branch, which had a good job. Oh, I did everything. I was Lady Dre. Um, we had this basically we played different Lizzie Bordon. uh the gypsy and the wolfman scene and the goal was when you really got into it was to try to get the people so scared that security had to take them out an emergency exit. Okay. I have so many questions. First of all, when when you're playing different characters, uh obviously you have like hair, well maybe not hair, probably a wig, but makeup done, right? Do you do the makeup yourself? Um, some of us did, but no, we did have people that did makeup and um, a lot of these set, you know, the scenes you were in, you just wore, they had a variety of shrouds and then some of us who really kind of got into it would bring our own costumes. Okay, another question. Who is your favorite character to play? Oh, who is my favorite character to play? Um, I liked doing Lizzie Bordon 40 wax with a wet noodle bart to quote the Simpsons. For me, I was quoting the Simpsons. It was for me, but it's a disorder she has. Um, she's always quoting the Simpsons. So, Lizzy Bordon, why why was she your favorite? Well, you had like this living room set and you could really like you would almost look like you were I mean you do a lot of shock scare so you're kind of frozen there and you could really scare the hell out of people especially because you could hide your faux axe and then whip it out and it would just totally freak people out, right? Is it true? This is my last question then Jeff. I'm I'm sorry. I'll be done. Is it true that you target the people who you can tell are going to be the biggest scaredy-cats? Oh, yeah. And actually, because there's usually a roaming uh ghoul who's like getting water or something for the rest of the actors who are in place. So, if the first door, if the first person knows, that goes all around. We got a good one coming. We got a good one. They're the ones you really try to go for. Oh, nice. And I've heard that you don't go for like if it's a group that's coming, you don't try to scare the person who's in the lead and you don't scare the last one. You scare somebody in the middle because the the Freddy cat is going to be kind of hiding in the middle. That's what I've always Absolutely. There you go. See, I've heard this. Absolutely. Yeah. Did you ever in your in your haunted house career, did you ever scare anybody? And I'm sure it's a no. Did you ever scare anybody to the point that they passed out? No. I I don't think we ever had anybody pass out. Wouldn't that be the ultimate though? Right. Wouldn't that be the I mean that would be like winning the Oscar, frankly. That would have been probably You got a raise. Did anyone Oh, one more question. Did anyone ever cry? Oh, tons. Tons. See, this is why I'm afraid to go into haunted places because of people like you, Kathy. I say this with love. I'm going to tell you the truth. I don't like it myself, but I like But you liked working, right? I liked working. I I feel like Kylie would be good working in one, but not going through one as a customer. I think you would love the acting, but afterwards I'd be like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Got to stay in character, Kathy. Wow. I could talk to you forever. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We're talking about summer jobs. What else did you have? 1 800283101.5. Here's Fast Traition. New Jersey 101.5. Uh we've got news in less than 3 minutes. We've been talking about uh summer jobs. And man, it's disappointing though. The one we haven't heard is somebody who worked at Action Park and just, you know, was irresponsible and drunk during their uh during their ride operation. Does this mean we have to ask about Action Park tomorrow? I don't know. Maybe. That might be kind of a fun thing going into uh e either tomorrow or maybe Thursday going into holiday weekend. We'll see. You either blew off your hand with a firework or you blew off your hand at action board, right? Exactly. Uh Mike in Bayville, you're in New Jersey 101.5. Hey. Hi, Mike. What was your summer job? Hey, how we doing? Uh yeah, I uh back in the day summer job. Uh, I worked in the uh, well, I guess you call it human waste uh, they pump the stuff in from everybody that was in the area. Oh, like a like a like a treatment. Yeah, it was quite Yeah, it was quite Yeah, it was it was basically it was public works, you know what I mean? But I mean, it was a summertime job. I was either on a garbage truck or in the crap pit, you know what I mean? So, but it was basically like uh, you know, you put the boots on, you go in there, the smell was unbelievable. Oh my god. I can't Yeah. I mean I mean Do you ever get used to that by the end of the summer? Was it just as bad? Yeah, I would think you would. No. No. I I tell you I tell you what, man. Every time I'd even get in in the car and it's like, you know, just driving back to, you know, where I was at, right? It was just you couldn't get rid of the smell. It was just always there, you know. And so it was just Did it linger on you afterwards? Like how long after a shift would you finally not smell that? What wouldn't what wouldn't stink like that? Yeah. Like wouldn't would the stench of the No, it would take I hit the showers and then you know back to the same thing the next day, right? And wouldn't it wouldn't cling to your clothing the way that cigarette smoke smell clings to the clothing. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's why you had to go in there and boot. Well, they had certain sections over those like those clear tarps things and uh that they put on like you know patios and stuff like that. So that one section would have to dry out and then you know you'd go to a different section and it was like like stepping on brownies, you know what I mean? And you know you cut them up in wedges and throw them in the back of a check. I'm not kidding, man. It was it was like you know you needed a pizza cutter, you know? I am not doubting you. This now see now this is real work for all the people that were like you know oh I sold lemonade on the boardwalk. It's like it's hardly anything. I was a camp photographer. Mike should have made 400 an hour at that job. I'm sure he didn't, but that's what he should have made. Mike, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. It is time for Levon's news on New Jersey 101.5. Stay with us. Parks Casino Chime time. It is 410 and we are Deky and more. I'm Jeff Deinsky. I'm Kylie Moore. We want to know about places you've sneaked into this hour. Not yet. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Not yet. I have something to tell you. You're sitting down, right? I am. I don't know how you'll feel about this. Something's happening in the building that was brought to my attention moments ago by our producer. I'm not sure how you'll feel about this. Maybe you'll be fine with it. I don't know. Moments ago, Charlie was making his way down the hall towards the kitchen. Right. He is 100% certain there is a mouse in the building. Haven't there already been m uh mice in the building? There was one in the newsroom years ago. That was never resolved. No. And I know they're doing a lot of work here. I know you get squeamish about things. I wasn't sure how you would feel about a possible rodent getting into the studio while we're on the air. Certainly not thrilled. Is are is a mouse greater than or less than and the freakout factor the freakout factor to you is a mouse greater than or less than a bug? Would it freak you out more or less? I don't think the mouse could crawl up here like a bug could like onto the Oh, you want to make a bet? Oh, yes, they can. Mice climb up walls. I've seen it. I saw it in my grand's old place. My grandmother. Oh, yeah. They can. Yeah. You know, there's something a little more easier or satisfying about swatting away a mouse than there is a bug. So, you're okay with this? I I just wanted to let you know. I wasn't sure how you would react. I wasn't sure if you were going to get the heebie-jebies over it, but you're taking it quite well. Yeah, I've done fine. There you go. I mean, until I see it. Yeah. Well, just just don't be surprised if you do. But I know they're doing work in the building, so maybe it's a oneoff. Maybe that's all that's going on. I don't know. Uh, we're about to find out. Yeah. All right. So, our phone number is 1800 283101.5. So, as Kylie was saying, and I rudely interrupted, uh, we want to know about places that you sneaked into. And here's why. Imagine trying to sneak into a World Cup game. Isn't that even bigger than probably sneaking into Super Bowl? Wouldn't you think? I mean, the security for an international event like this or events, the series of games. Well, here's what's going on. There were these couple of YouTubers and they wanted to test the boundaries of security at World Cup and now they are facing some serious jail time because this was like not just crashing a wedding. This was not just like sneaking into a drive-in movie by, you know, hiding your friends in the trunk. It was not just sneaking into whatever. But all great examples of what we would want to hear. Right. Right. Right. All of those are. In this case, according to a Miami television station, Benny Marmal and Pau Prada uh both of Buenus Eris in Argentina, they were arrested at Hard Rock Stadium for Saturday's World Cup match between Colombia and Portugal. And um yeah, they they used credentials from a previous World Cup match to see how far they could get past security. So, they should have been noticed that these were old, that these were expired, and they made it through three levels of security and onto what was described as the stadium grounds before ever even being questioned. That is eyeopening. Three levels. Three separate levels, which I'm going to assume that means three separate checkpoints. I'm assuming. I'm also assuming, but we don't know. Right. After being arrested, Marmal claimed he was an influencer trying to stream the game, while Para said he was hired by a media company to review the game, but none of it worked. The two were charged with interference with a sporting or entertainment event. They were held on a $2,500 bond, and if convicted, they could face up to five years in prison for sneaking into World Cup. Five year. That's That's too much. Well, they say up to I know, but still. The fact that if they wanted to, they could. Yeah, that that is a lot. That is Yeah. No, I I give you that. And um there's another one, and this is a Jersey story. A 23-year-old guy had to be rescued from a public pool in Fairlon because he sneaked into the facility after hours with a teenage girl. why a 23-year-old man was hanging out with a teenage girl. I'm just not even going to speculate. Yeah, I'm fine not knowing. All we know is about 3:45 in the morning on Sunday, a 911 call is made reporting the possibility of maybe someone's going to drown. So, they show up, first responders arrive, they find this guy stranded on a platform in the middle of the pool, and he apparently can't swim. I don't know how he got out there. I don't know what the hell went down. The girl was only 16. He's 23. She's from Patterson. Um, she remained on land and was never in any danger. I'm going to assume she's the one who called 911. I don't know. I have no idea what was going on here. But officers issued both the man and the girl summones for being in the park after hours before releasing them. And then they jokingly put on social media. So if you're going to be a 23-year-old adult and trespass at Memorial Pool, at least know how to swim. So yeah, somebody somebody sneak their way into a pool even though they had no clue how to swim. That's I mean I know it goes without saying, but what a foolish decision to sneak into anywhere else, right? I mean, don't sneak into anywhere, but don't do that. So we want to know, did you ever crash a wedding? Did you ever sneak into a movie? Did you ever get into a concert without having any tickets? Things like that. Where did you sneak into? 1 800283101.5. One in Bridgewater. You're on New Jersey 101.5. What have you done, you dog? Oh, let's hope the authorities are not listening. What did you do back in the day? In my youth, you know. Yeah, in my youth. Anyway, um I got you know the Hellscape Bridge. Um, by explain. I thought Hell's Gate was a nickname for not a bridge, but something else. What? What is Hell's Gate Bridge? Is this like a weird new bridge? Yeah, I know. It's in New York. It's between Randles Island and um uh uh Atoria. Oh, okay. Okay. Crosses Northeast Corridor. It runs the Northeast Corridor. Okay. And what'd you do anyway? So, uh a friend of mine had the keys to the tower. So we snuck into the towers, wal walked all the way to the top and walked to the courts. How did he have to this? Well, he um he convinced the MTA that he was doing research uh to uh do a duplicate model of it. What? That is intricate. How in God's name does a guy just he just convinces MTA to hand over keys and he had and he had no legitimate credentials? We even we even we even got the plans for the whole uh bridge and we built a whole bridge out of it. So, thank God that this guy was not a terrorist because they would have handed over. No, we're not. I mean, we're we're we're modelers. So, that's why, you know, we were able to do this. Wow. That's Wow. That's crazy. Yep. And this was pre, you know, pre 911. So, that's how interesting this gets. Dude, just just sneak in just crash a wedding. At least there's open bar, man. You know, hey, you fool. Hey, Juan, we appreciate your story. Thanks for calling New Jersey 101.5. Where did you sneak in? Did you ever crash a wedding, sneak into a movie, anything like this? 1 800283101.5. It is 419. Here's Fast Traffic, Dominsky, and more. Afternoons on New Jersey 101.5. Real talk, real opinions, and yeah, we want yours, too. Jump in on the app chat or give us a call 1 8002831015. It is 4:26 at some point. Um I got to talk just a little bit about uh the the big story today that came out about uh uh the Congressman Tom Kaine Jr. about the depression, how he hasn't been seen for months. Yeah. And it turns out it was because of depression. I mean that I hope the best for him. Same. And yeah, that had to be some serious serious depression because most people will still try to work through it. Agree with him or not, I hope the best for him. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, it must have been very dark. But anyway, um so yeah, there's a couple of stories in the news. One of them right here in New Jersey. Uh another one about some YouTuber dopes trying to test the the skills of security at a World Cup game. That's really bold to try to sneak your way into a World Cup game. But whether it was a sporting event, a movie, uh crashing a wedding would absolutely count. Just anywhere where you didn't really belong. Did you ever try and even if it was a fail, that's okay. Did you ever try to get into a place without a ticket? You tried to get backstage. You know, the door was open. You just followed them and acted as if you belonged. Like who's got a story about trying to sneak in somewhere where you really didn't belong? 1 800283101.5. I was at a wedding that was crashed, but nothing was really done about it, which I found surprising. And this was a long time ago. I was a teenager. This was an old family friend, but there were two guys who were probably around, this was the bride's second marriage, uh probably uh around her son's ages, so let's say like early 20s. Mhm. So they kind of looked like they belonged, but at some point it became apparent like, "I don't think anyone knows who these people are." Yeah. And the bride was like, "Oh, we definitely don't know who those people are." Really? And I think the bride herself said this. Yes. I think it was just like enough into the not night, it was an afternoon wedding, but enough into the ceremony/reception that they were just like whatever. Okay. They like they knew some Bud Lights, whatever. I was going to say like they knew that they weren't going to make any trouble and so once they realized that like by the time they realized that neither side knew them was also enough time to go by where they realized they were going to be harmless. Yeah. And it was one of those things where it's like you know what I'm not going to make that about my day. Right. Right. If they want to have if they want to chug some Bud Lights with the uh you know Bachelor side. Sure. Not bad. Uh, grimson. That's what I'm looking for. If they want to chug with the Grimson. Okay. Right. Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna waste my my head space on this. Right. Right. Yeah. I remember my sister and I like watching them the entire time like, no one's really caring about this. That's interesting. I don't know. Okay, this is not just about crashing a wedding, but I don't know how people have the have the guts to do that because of the getting caught factor. Let's talk to Michelle, though. Michelle in Middletown. Hey, how are you? I am good, thank you. I wanted to look uh Michelle Oh, the phone ah the phone line just went dead. I think that was on her. I don't think it's ours. Well, you tell us. 1 800 No, I think that was her phone just went dead. 1 800283101.5 where uh we want to hear your stories about sneaking in somewhere where you just did not belong, crashing a wedding, trying to get into a big game, whatever it was. Tell us what you did or didn't pull off. 1800 283101.5. Back on New Jersey 101.5 with Dominsky and more. Something that started as a normal conversation is now completely out of control. You're going to want to hear this. It is 4:38 with Jeff and Kylie and yet we are talking about sneaking into places. Let's talk to Michelle in Middletown. You are on New Jersey 101.5. You sneaked your way into the show. What do you want to say? Hi you guys. Yes, I used to go to Madison Square Garden all the time. I saw all the top shows. Um I saw the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, all for a dollar. I would roll up a dollar bill. Um I would tape together pieces of my stubs that I had left over from concerts and then I would roll a dollar bill underneath it and sneak it to the usher and get into the concerts for a dollar. Oh my god. You would bribe your way in. That's what the dollar was for. Yes. And actually sometimes I didn't even put a dollar. I just rolled up a matchbook, a bunch of matchbooks, and they thought it was a wad of cash and then I would get in and then run and hide. How did you come up with this idea? Or did a friend teach you? I've never heard of this before. Yeah, it was stuff we used to do back in the day, as they say. Um, we used to get we used to go to concerts all the time and then someone came up the idea of like taping them together so it looked like an actual ticket and then if you just look at the guy when he's about to take your ticket like he could feel that there's something there and you would like give him like a look right like huh like look at him intently. He's like come on buddy. Did any of them ever say no? Never. Not once. Not once. Nobody actually did their job. No. Okay, I've got news. That just means you're hot, Michelle. If If no one challenged you, are you? That means you're hot. What do you look like? I I have blonde hair, blue eyes. I looking, you know, but sweet and innocent, right? I mean, and you were hot as hell. And you were hot as hell back then, weren't you? No, I don't. I mean, no. Just like a regular girl, you know. No, I just like to all these conf concerts for a dollar. Concert for a dollar. Do you think if a guy did the same thing to the same guy Usher, do you think it would have worked? No, it did cuz we used to go in like there were a bunch of us that used to do it. Um, yeah. I saw Jethro Tull for a dollar. But the Stones a dollar. Led Zeppelin I saw multiple times. I was I wound up getting down into the front row and I saw him for I saw them for a dollar as well. Pull McCartney a dollar quickly. Unbelievable. And what a loser I am. But I've always Yeah. overpaid for concert tickets. Well, now I'm paying dearly, you know, for it. You paid it for I had to share that. Yeah. I had to share that with you guys because I thought it was pretty creative. No, that's such a I again I had never heard of something like that before. Michelle, thank you so much for sharing. We appreciate you calling New Jersey 101.5. And we also appreciate your hotness. Don't get that wrong. Yeah, I never heard of a bride. That's wild. All right. All right. And uh yeah, this concerts count, games count, even something lesser like sneaking into a movie or what about just crashing a wedding? Always blows my mind that anybody has the guts to crash a wedding. Any of your stories, we will take them. 1 800 283101.5. Steve, you're on New Jersey 101.5. What have you done? All right, so this was probably back in the early 90s. I had a friend of mine, ironically, um, he's in federal prison now for being a con man. So, I I'll just credit him for that. Yeah, that's a nice foreshadowing there. Wow, this must have been a good scam. You're he he was ridiculous. In the same night that he got us, and I'll tell you the NBC studio story, that's actually best. But in the same year that he got us in, in the same night he did that, we're in Rock Center and he convinces some dude that's driving a Greyhound bus empty to drive him and I all the way down to the World Trade Centers in the bus cuz we needed a ride, right? That's how the night started. So, anyhow, now it's about 2:30 in the morning. We've had a bunch of cocktails. I'm a little bit hammered. And he's like, I'm getting us into NBC studios. So he takes us around the back of like rock center there where the studio is and he finds his security guard and he comes up with this whole thing like talking about me. He's like look and I'm some rock star. I don't even remember who I was and look how trashed he is. We've got to get him inside into the set cleaned up. He's going to be on the morning show. He convinces him that he's got to get us into like wherever the room is that the employees get their coffee in to get me sobered up. The guy takes us in there. We wind up upstairs on this set and like we're in the news studio for NBC. Oh my god. The two of us. And I'm like, "What the heck are we going to do?" And none of our friends are going to ever believe that you conned us all the way into NBC studios. And this is before you had cell phones with the cameras in them, right? Absolutely. So, we found And this was when they would print stuff out. We were walking around and we find in somebody's inbin vault, Barbara Walters, you can't make this stuff up. Her script and he's like, "We're taking that. That's the only proof we're ever going to have." And we took it. And that was the only proof we, you know, because we didn't have cell phones. But I will never forget it. He's he's you you had to hear him probably for about 15 minutes convincing this security guard that I'm some rock star and look how bombed he is. It's going to cost you your job if you don't get us inside and help us get this guy sobered up. Once and this guy was crazy. Once you got once you guys got inside and and I know you got, you know, upstairs to the actual studios. Once you were upstairs, was that unescorted? Unescorted. We were unescorted. So he got you in and then you were wandering around. No guard at your side. You were just unescorted walking around NBC. You could have just like done anything. It was crazy. Anything. It was crazy. I I'll never forget it. I was probably about 22 at the time. And I'm sorry. About what year would you say this was? Was it the 80s? 91. No, n probably 91. No, actually 89. I bet it was 89. Now I'm trying to think who was doing the Today Show back then. See, I uh far I can't remember, but it was I was trying to think of who was on SNL at that time. You could run into Phil Hartman. God knows. Yeah, but like we were, as I said, we we we took a copy of Barbara Walter's script so we could prove that we were there. Wow. Never forgot it. Yeah. Fun stuff. Okay. What I would give for this to be in the time of camera. I would have loved to see that. Steve, thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. That has to be chilling though to if you work there, if you heard that story. Like imagine being like Katie Kirk or Bryant Gumble and hearing that story like, "Oh, they just let people wander around the building. They could have killed us." You know, you just have to say that the man is drunk and then it's fine. Exactly. This was also pre 911, so it was far more lax. I No, I get it. I get it. But yeah, you would almost think that somebody being that intoxicated would be a reason to scrutinize them more now, right? Wow. All right. So, we're talking about uh sneaking into places at 1 800283101.5. I don't think I don't think I ever did this. I don't think I ever even did a movie. That's exactly what I was about to ask. Not even like a Oh, I'm 16, but I want to see the latest radar movie. Yeah. Like where you pay for one movie, but you go into a different theater. Mhm. I didn't even do that. Or like you pay for one movie, you see it, but then you don't leave and you go into a different theater. just make it like a double feature and see a second movie that you didn't pay for. I never did that. Narrate a double feature. No. No. I'm trying to think. I not not for free like that. No. I I never had anybody like I'll go in, we'll just buy one ticket. I'll prop the door open and you guys come in through the emergency exit. Never did that. I I'm boring. I never crashed a wedding. I feel like you can't do the movie theater thing nowadays because everyone has the assigned seating. That might be a thing of the past. Yeah, that's true. Everybody does have assigned seating now. Yeah, you have to be at like, you know, well, I'm an A7. Excuse me. You're in my seat. That is my Yeah. No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Up until like what, 20 years? Uh, 15 years ago, you could just be like, "This is my seat. I Because I'm sitting in it." Right. If it's empty. Exactly. Kids, ask your parents. Right. Eddie in Tom's River, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, Eddie. Hello. Hi. I have a great one. This is 1983 Van Halen was playing at the Metallands Arena one night only and I had a cheap seat way up in the rafters, right? A friend of mine worked he worked for the arena. He worked backstage and met all the big stars. He told me what time and exactly where to meet him. Sure enough, the concert already started. He brought me down to the front of the stage. He waved to some of the security guys and there I was staring at David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen jamming. It was unbelievable. Wow. Wow. Did you And did you get an act did you get an actual seat or were you just standing the whole time? No. I just stood there the whole time. And the best part is Well, my name's Eddie. Eddie Van Halen. We share the same birthday, January 26th. Yeah. And I'm looking at Eddie. He smiles at me and he flicks his guitar pick right at me and it bounces off my chest. Oh, so you never That's how close I was. But you never you I mean I know that's not the point. point. The point is how close you were, but you never scooped it up and and you weren't able to c keep it. No, when you're down that close, it's so chaotic and crazy. Your whole body's vibrating, right? I'm looking around at the stadium seats and here I am just feet away from biggest band in the world. Unbelievable. I'm forever grateful to my friend from high school. Yeah. At least you have the memory. If even if you don't have the pick, you have the memory. And that's crazy. You know who uh I got I have goosebumps just telling you the story. You know what artist is good enough to uh to do this on purpose? Um well, you know this, Kylie, Billy Joel will send his people up to the rafters and he'll get like say five or six people that are way up in the nose. Yep. and he will and he will award them, reward them for coming to the show because he figures those are the real fans, the people that are in the cheap seats they just couldn't afford. Because he says he was noticing everybody that was always getting the really expensive front row tickets. They weren't really there for the show. They were just trying to impress somebody or they got them from a corporate thing. They weren't really like the true fans. And so he saved seats in the front row and he would uh have his people go up, get people in the nosebleleeds and bring them down and treat them to front row, which is funny. But then he said because my crew was all guys, it kept being pretty girls, the hot women, the hot women, right? And he, you remember when he did uh the co-shows with Elton John? Yeah. He told Elton John about this. Elton John thought it was a cool idea. So Elton John started doing it at his shows, but Elton John being Elton John got all the goodies. Cute boys. Yes, cute boys were being brought down to the front row. At least there's a mix. Hey Eddie, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We love the story. We're talking about sneaking into places, crashing weddings, things like that. 1 800 283 101.5. Here's a look at fast traffic. New Jersey 101.5. We are at 457. So, we've got uh Levon Putney's news coming up in just three minutes and we're talking about sneaking into places. Let's talk to Nick in Williamstown. You're in New Jersey 101.5. How's it going, guys? Hey, Nick. My uh my uncle used to be the fire chief back when Milton Milan was the mayor and he at the mayor of Camden. So, he used to sneak us in the side entrance all the time. Side entrance of what? the the the hall in Camden. What's that? The waterfront. Okay. So, what kind of things did you see? Oh, I was younger, but my two older brothers were taking me see like Grateful Dead, all their bands. By the time I grew up in music, he wasn't there to sneak me in anymore. It was mostly rock bands. But you got to see acts like the Grateful Dead. That's nothing to uh that's something to write home about. Nick, thank you for calling jersey one a 1.5. You did that thing again. You weren't sure of that. Do you remember the day you weren't sure of the phrase? And we did this whole thing. Nothing to Wait, is it nothing to sneeze at? Nothing to walk a camel past, nothing to set a tent on fire over. Remember that? Mhm. Oh, you don't? Okay. No, I do. I just love that we're shining a light on it. Nancy in Manalopin, you're on New Jersey 101.5. was actually funny, but okay. Hey, Nancy. Hi. Um, so when my daughter is home from college, she likes to come to the gym with me, but she doesn't like to pay for the daily pass for the gym. So, what we do is we kind of walk in separately and then I distract the person at the front desk while she kind of slips in behind me. Distract distract how, Nancy? I'll ask them like, "Oh, like what time do you close tonight?" you know, did anyone turn in a missing, you know, a water bottle that I lost the last time I was here? Like, I'll just make up any like silly question just so they focus on me and then they don't notice that she's just kind of flipping in behind me. Oh, I love this. And okay, full disclosure, do you like lean forward a little bit just to, you know? I actually don't because it's usually I'm in my 50s and it's usually like teenagers or early 20s working the desk. So that's a little ick for me. So no, I don't do that. But I just try to keep them like zeroed in and like focused on me and whatever like nonsense question I'm asking them while she kind of just walks in behind me. You know what? If it works, it works. Nancy, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We've got news coming up. And then uh there are some things in our area, one at Newark airport, one at another area airport involving drones coming far too close with uh jets. And my hatred for drones really kicked into high gear when I've been hearing these stories. We're going to talk about that coming up. Whether you think it's just a a cool fun hobby or drones annoying as hell at 1800283101.5, the Bet Parks online casino and sports book app chime time is 511. It is the Dinsky and More Show. I'm Kylie Moore and I'm Jeff Daminsky. Real quick, I just want to mention this again. Kylie and I talked about it briefly last hour, but it came out today as promised when he returned to Congress. Uh, Congressman Tom Kaine Jr., of course from New Jersey obviously. He said that he would clear up what the ailment had been that he had uh you know missed many days a lot of votes months. Was it a 100 votes or over a 100 votes? I think it was over a hundred and it was I know it was I know you're saying votes. I know it was 117 day absence and yeah I think it was over 100 votes. Um, and of course, you know, this is uh New Jersey's seventh congressional district. And this is kind of dicey because this is coming at a time that Tom Kane Jr. is running for reelection and he's a Republican and of course midterm elections, they they don't want to lose any ground. And here we are and it comes out that this was not cancer or something like that. And I I don't mean this dismissively, but some will say this in a dismissive way. He had severe depression and he came clean about the whole thing. And I'm sure that there are some people who have never dealt with it who just think, well, yeah, I'm down too, but I go to work. You might not have the depression he had. There's uh there's extreme sadness and then there is clinical depression where you can't even function. And this apparently is what he had because he swears that his doctor said you got to you got to stop working for a while and he did not want to. He says he did not want to do that and he finally gave in and finally took time off and um and now he is back and um he's openly talking about it which was uh he had promised complete transparency and he did it and I think you got to you got to give him credit for that. He was saying in his speech when he returned that he's a private person by nature. So imagine already being a private person. And he went on to say, "Talking about myself has never come naturally." Well, that's tough when you're a politician cuz they love doing that normally. But I mean, imagine you're that type of person. But then you have to you feel it. You owe it to your constituency to own up to this, which a lot of people still dismiss. Too many people still dismiss a mental health issue, an emotional health issue as not as not important, that you should just tough through it. A lot of people still feel that way. And so, yeah, my heart goes out to the dude. Um, and I don't know. I don't really know if there's much more to say about it. Um, 57year-old, this is from NJ.com, 57year-old legislator said he was experiencing health concerns. Went to the hospital for testing months ago. uh doctors diagnosed him with depression, suggested he remained hospitalized. So I mean that's how serious this depression was and uh you know there are some who would just I'm not saying the man was suicidal but I mean it often comes handinhand with depression and there are a lot of dopes out there that would just you know it's like oh well he didn't try to kill himself. Well we don't even know that. We don't know, right? And you know what? Frankly, that part is none of our business. But it was serious enough that that that doctors basically begged him. And uh then there's another type of person who's just going to now question, oh well, can he handle it if he comes back as he has? Well, you know what? He's responsible enough to go. Except that he's responsible enough to know when he can come back. Try to accept that. Um, I wish uh nothing but the best for him and we can disagree on anything politically that is fine to an extent, but that if you have the the the brains to know when to seek help. Yeah. And he did. Good for him. And I hope he finds it. I hope he I hope he gets better. I hope he gets what he needs. Yeah. Same. Same. And the courage to now talk about it. That's going to help other people, especially to the party of the blank your feelings crowd. Well, yeah. Yeah, you bring a point. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, but he's owning it and yeah, I think that's going to help other people. So, yeah. All right. Anyway, um, our phone And now for something completely different. There you go. Our phone number is 1 800283101.5. Uh, just just for a few minutes now, if you own one, please explain what you do with it. I want to talk about drones. Yes, those things, the little, you know, little flying things in the air, little you know like what you're spying on people in a park. You're taking pictures of tree lines. A lot of people have these. Why do you have one? And do you do you consider it harmless fun hobby or to you is a drone annoying as hell? To me they have always been annoying. I never understood why so many people have them just for fun. If you're somebody who is like, I don't know, you're a land surveyor, you're you're in a very uh specific category with a job that you really truly feel like you have to have one for your job. It's different. I get that. But for every person like that, I feel like there's a hundred dopes out there that just kind of want to play around with them like it's a like it's a grownup toy, like a little kid. And I hate this. Well, it's come out that there were two close calls involving a drone near a plane. Um, one of them, uh, the pilot of, uh, JetBlue Airline Flight 948 actually struck a drone at 3,000 ft the other day. This happened on Monday morning and this was on final approach to JFK, not Newark, but it was certainly our, you know, New York area at 3,000 ft. Now, a post-flight inspection did not reveal any damage to the aircraft, but what if it hit a different part of the aircraft? What if it went into an engine? Ever hear of bird strikes? Uh, Captain Sully Sullenberger certainly has. Right. Exactly. So, one actually made contact with a freaking commercial jet filled with passengers on final approach and then another one was right here in New Jersey at Newark. United Airlines Flight 1513 landed safely at Newark after the crew reported a drone sighting while again on approach. The FAA is investigating the incident. That one occurred about 5:20 in the afternoon, right about this time on Friday, June 26th. And a different um a different report I read, if this is accurate, I don't know, but it was definitely in a published report said that that drone that that drone came within like 100 ft of this of this flight with innocent lives on board. Too close, right? And you know, I have like I have no respect for anybody who is that reckless with a stupid drone and or or that unskilled with a drone if they just don't know what the hell they're doing with it. I mean, if you're anywhere near a flight path, but honestly, I kind of have an issue with drones in general. They've always bothered me. Maybe that doesn't make sense to some people, but I want to know how you feel about them. Do you own one? Do you know somebody who owns one? Do you find them annoying? Do you find them useful? 1 800283101.5 519. Here's fast traffic. Back at it. Jaminsky and more on New Jersey 101.5. New Jersey 101.5. It is 526. Okay, so we had uh two incidents, both with planes at major airports in our area in just the last couple of days involving drones. Now, I'm not saying that it's even on purpose. I'm not saying it's uh you know anything serious like terrorism. It's probably just stupid hobbyists that aren't paying attention, don't know what they're doing. Um although the one drone at 3,000 ft that actually hit the uh the JetBlue, if anybody knows, that seems quite high for a drone. But see, I don't know anything about these. And I I one I want to ask if you've ever owned a drone, what do you know about them? Uh, how expensive is yours? What can they do? How do you have to register these? I believe you do have to register almost any type of drone. Um, I don't know how you do. I mean, register it where like you it's an FAA registration, I'm assuming. But do you find drones annoying as hell as I do or do you think they're a cool hobby or really important for your uh for your particular business? 1 800283101.5. Outside of real estate, I'm really struggling to find a use for them because of course it's it's so nice to get the overhead view of like here's the property. Oh, look, there's the pool. This is how big the house is. Outside of that, I'm struggling. I know. And I don't know what it would be. I mean maybe I mean if you guys know anybody know because I know it's like talked about a lot like you know oh well drones are important for certain occup well well what occupations go yeah go on right I mean like like I could see maybe PS&G or uh you know JCPNL maybe using a drone looking for breaks and lines something like that that I could see you know like maybe after a storm maybe They put a drone up looking for damage. Maybe police might use a drone looking for a missing child, things like that. But these things are not, you wouldn't think they would be the norm. So, right, what jobs would have like a realistic bonafideed use for a drone? I don't get it. And I know that there are some realtors. I don't know if Dansky uses them or not to be honest with you. We're friends, but I've never asked him about that. But like I know if I'm looking for a home, it might be a cool angle of a picture to get, but I don't think I don't think it's going to make or break selling a house if you have like an aerial shot, you know? Like I know they're cool and and some people like if they have it, sure, they might include it, but is that but like is anybody going to say, "Oh, well, you know, I might have made an appointment to go see this place, but there's no aerial shot." Like I so I'm I'm even questioning how important it is for that is all I'm getting at. It's it's like kind of nice, but is it a luxury? And the thing of it is Oh my god. I don't even know if I I don't have time to tell this yet, but I'll tell you after the after the uh I'll tell everybody after the news. I had a jerk not far from the radio station one night with a drone and he was taunting me with a stupid drone. He was basically being nosy, spying on me in my car and taunting me. And I hated drones even before this, but if I could have, I would have destroyed this guy's drone. So, are you saying jerk playfully or sincerely? Oh, he was a total jerk. Okay. Do you remember the story or not? You're you're saying it with a smile on your face. So, it was a very clear tone. No, no, no. I'm smiling because I realize how insane I'm probably coming off. But no, he really pissed me off. This guy, he was a jerk with this drone. I'll explain it coming up what what this idiot had done. But what is your opinion of drones? What do you use them for if you have one? Are they good or are they bad? 1 800283101.5. We're back with Dinsky and more on New Jersey 101.5, where somehow one simple question turns into a full-on Jersey debate. So, I'm sitting there about a block or two away from the radio station, just killing some time one day, sitting alone in my car, and I'm just scrolling my phone. Right. Right. Up the road, some jack wagon with a freaking drone is operating. I don't notice this guy at first, but I hear this little buzzing and I look out my car window and his little stupid drone about a foot wide is hovering and it's hovering like above the ground at about maybe 6 ft and it stops like right by my window. Mhm. And I look at the drone and then I look around and then I look in my side view mirror and I see the guy standing halfway down many many doors down halfway up the road with his little stupid controller and he's staring at me with the with the camera on the drone. Yeah. And he's just staring at me. So I just ignore it. I go back into a scroll on my phone. He won't leave. He keeps the drone there. And then he moves it a little bit. He wiggles it back and forth because he's taunting me. He's trying to get me to notice it. I only glanced up one more time. What I think he's trying to do is get me to get out of my car to like do something to the drone just to make a jackass out of me because of course then it would just go zip right up in the air and it would be like a cat and a mouse. Like there's no way I'm going to catch the drone. Plus if there's a camera then you would just be the man who's like at it. Right. Exactly. Right. Right. And he's going to put it on TikTok or whatever. Just some horse's ass. So, so that was the last time I looked at it. I just ignore it and I'm just scrolling on my phone, sitting in my car, and out of the corner of my eye, I can see that it remains there for like 8 minutes, just looking in at me in my car for no reason. He finally gets bored cuz I won't take the bait. I won't do anything. And then he flies it up the road. Good. It's like, what a jackass, man. And that's who I think of having drones is some like overgrown little man baby who just has like, you know, a little toy he wants to play with and no good use for it. Then I do not blame you for having a bad taste in your mouth. Yeah. And but I mean I didn't like him even before that. But it's like get out of here with yourself. All right, let's talk to Rita in Lakewood. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi guys. Hi. Yeah, I have no person I have no personal experience with drones, but I feel like too many people nowadays have come become either disrespectful or irresponsible. Agreed. As far as as far as an occupation, wedding photographers, my daughter was married in Point Pleasant at church and at the beginning of her video, the introduction, they sent a drone up and it scanned the whole property of the church. It went over the beach. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and you got a feel for the day before her video even started. Oh, that's cute. I can't Okay. I I condone this. Okay. Yeah. Like a whole production. I mean, I'm sure it would have been beautiful without it, but it but but it lent it lent more to the video by having this. Yes. Yes. Okay. All right. But yeah, you do agree with me that in the wrong hands they're just annoying. Absolutely. There you go. Yeah, outside of professional photography, I do not see any need for them. Rita, thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. Chris in Atco, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, what's up? Hey, what's going on? Chris, we're good. Are you Are you I got I got I got I'm pro. I got a feeling your wife's on you. Oh, wait. Hold on. Your phone went nuts. You're pro I said I said I got I'm pro pro drone. Okay, for sure. I got a feeling your wife is just keeping tabs on you. Uh, well, no, this was after the divorce. So, if either of us had a wife. Yeah. I mean I mean that's I mean I'm sorry that's a great line but but no and and also and also this would have been the worst detective in the world because they're literally standing there in plain view with their stupid joystick. Anyway, but it's a funny line. It's a funny line. So, Chris, do you work in photography? Um, I do not. I probably a little amateur in photo and video. Um, my lovely wife actually bought me my first drone um, for vacation usage because there's nothing better than a nice aerial with two people in it for sure, especially if you get a sunset or a sunrise. But, um, also the second one, I mean, but you're you're talking about somebody who would actually fly some 3,000 ft, which is really ridiculous, but like you said, in the wrong hands, that's that's totally true. But usually we're at like 400 feet max. And that's if you're using it for video or film, you're really not flying that high generally anyway. Well, how high can an average drone fly? Would it would it take an exceptionally large drone to go 3,000 ft or that's not really the thing? Personally, no. I mean, my first one was 6 or 8 years ago. Um, the DJI company, it probably would have flown 600 700 feet. I'm not sure because they're very, you know, when you sign up on the FA, they're pretty strict on not flying over 400 ft. If there's an airport around you, you're supposed to notify that airport, etc., etc. So, yeah. I mean, if you're being a jerk about it, you could fly it much higher than you're supposed to. Right. Right. And you do have to register these. Even a small drone, are you supposed to register with the FAA? Yeah. They got a number. You're supposed to You're supposed to uh print the number right on the drone. Um, if there's any issues with it and they find it, then they'll know it was you. Uh, but that's just it. Like if if you're gonna horse around with it and be a jerk, you got to crash it. They've got to find it for them to be able to do anything about it, right? Sure. Yeah, I would imagine so. I would imagine so. Yeah. But, you know, and and I mean, our second drone is much smaller. Won't fly more than about 100 ft away from you. And with the AI, it actually will follow you. I mean, you can set it on your person and follow you. So, we use it for um YouTube videos, for shooting uh like ebike videos, which I'm sure you're a fan of. But, um you know, so they will follow you and if we're trying to promote a product, which we get sent to us for promo, we can have it follow us and you get full view of the bike in motion and whatnot, too. So, so it does have its pluses for sure. Okay. This is the first I've heard of anyone having a drone follow them and I am very scared. Oh, no. Yeah. Well, well, you get used to that cuz they're pretty amazing. You pretty much point and click and it will put a box around you and it will follow you. You can walk forward, backwards, and you go and it will lead you. And what do you do with a controller? You just You don't need a controller. You don't even need a controller at that point. You push a button in your hand. It takes off from your hand. It flies back whatever predetermined length you set in it. Usually, they're I don't know like 3, 12, and 20 m away. Okay. Did you ever forget that you said it and it's following you all day and you just forgot? No. Chris, I am so glad you could do that. It does make a little bit of noise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am so glad you called because I I I straight up admit ignorance on this. I had no clue that we had that kind of technology. That's crazy. Okay, but Chris, the guy when I was parked in the car and I know you made the joke about, you know, the wife, but seriously, don't you think somebody doing that with a drone is just an annoying jackass? Yeah, that's that's definitely an annoying jackass. Right. Right. And and and you know damn well had I gotten out of that car to try to bat it out of the air that's probably Oh, he would have loved that because then it would have been like now you don't. And then I would have been all that would have made a great post. Exactly. Exactly what he was going to do. He he wanted me to do something stupid and he would dodge me and it was going to go up on TikTok. I guarantee you that's what he was going to do. Local radio host swats it drone like bear. Right. Exactly. It would have made headlines. Right. kind of equivalent to old man yells at cloud again. It would have been the first thing on uh on Jersey thying. Chris, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. No, no. Eric will just say that I did it now. He'll just he'll just state that I did it. Hi, let's talk to Rebecca in Trenton. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi, you guys. I love your show and I agree with you completely that drones in the wrong hands are so annoying. I'm probably in one of those I'm probably in one of those stupid videos a couple years ago. We're at the beach. I'm an old woman. I do not need a drone over me. I'm self-conscious enough in a bathing suit and I'm like trying to get it to come near me and then I wanted to hit it with my towel, you know? So, I'm probably in one of those videos. Oh, no. No. I'm with you, Rebecca. Jokes on them. Like, oh, great for you. Best you're gonna see is me like scooping my boobs back into my bathing suit. I wish I Yeah. Right. But I do want to add I do want to add my nephew has a um roofing business in Hamilton and they use drones for their business and it's amazing, you know, to show you the damage on your roof and then to show you the completed project. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. I mean, obviously it's not going to help you repair the roof, but for an estimate or something like that. Yes, I could understand that. To show, right? And then to show the finished product. I mean, how often do you really see your whole roof of your house, you know? Yeah, you don't. You're right. You don't. No. All right. You bring up a fair point, Rebecca. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. No, that's a good point because with um the the work that all county ex This is not an ad. With the work that all county exteriors did on my parents house, I've been like trying to get a picture of like, look at the solar shingles on their roof. I can't get a good pick. Maybe I do need a drone. Oh no. Oh no. Another one. Maybe I've turned. I've turned. Oh no. In the name of all county exteriors, I will be pro drone. Don't go to the dark side. Go to the drone side. All right. Are drones a fun hobby, useful in any way, or are they just annoying as hell? 1 800 283101.5. It is 549. Here's fast traffic New Jersey 101.5. Uh we're talking about drones and uh Yeah. Not from uh not from a couple years ago. The mystery drones. Everybody thought it was like space aliens or another country invading us. Remember those? You even had them in free. Yeah. You had them in Freehold. It was true. I seen them. Yeah. Rip rip a jawbone off a man. Uh, but we're talking about uh just, you know, these recreational drones or using it for jobs or whatever. If you're using them the right way, fine. But I've just been very annoyed by people using them like jerks. But, uh, your opinion on them. 1800283 101.5. Bill in Hamilton, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello, Bill. Hey, Bill. You're on. I'm here. Hey, how are you? Yes. Hey, what's up? Yeah, I'm I just retired as an insurance restoration contractor handling the five southern counties in New Jersey, seven roofs a day. And 10 years ago, drones first came in to do some of the fancy roofs in Long Beach Island. Today, they're used in the hands of most of our subcontractors in the hands of the foreman. We're able to get, if we can prove that we did the roof correctly, we're getting 50-year warranties from the manufacturers on roofs. Oh, wow. We wouldn't be able to do that without first being able to go to the insurance adjuster and showing him exactly what we're doing to the damaged roof and then as the roofer, the roofer subcontractor foreman who's a expert roofer. He's not a he's not a drone guy. He's a roofer first, right? But where he flies the drone is critical. When these first came in 10 years ago, people like me who were general contractors would play with a drone and it was a big marketing thing and we'd tell the insurance adjusters we had drones. Some of the public adjusters had drones, but we spent a lot of time playing with it and telling the next door neighbor, "We're not spying on your wife. We're here to do a job." Right. And one major one of the major six insurance companies um has banned the use of drones because of some incidents in Texas where the next door neighbor got a shotgun and took the drone out. Oh my goodness. Of course it would be Texas, right? Of course it would happen in Texas. Classic. Thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. Wow. All right. I guess there are some uses. I I suppose. Okay. Well, before we head out, I just want to say one more time, I know I'm going to be a little self-indulgent here. Congratulations to my mom who had her last day of work today. She is now officially retired. As of now, it is 6:00. So, she's done. She's out. What is she going to do now? Oh god. Ooh. Play a lot of Wordle quert connections. Is she doing a trip? Is she going to celebrate somewhere? Like when your dad retired, he went to Hawaii. it. We're We're working on something for September, but we're not sure yet. Nice. Hopefully Aruba. Hopefully somewhere hot. Yeah. Yeah. They're Well, good for her. Welld deserved. Some somewhere hot to make us forget about these temperatures now. Oh, no. Yeah. Just kidding. Yeah.
