Today on [music] the pod, we're talking to Megan, trapeze artist and scratchers enthusiast. So, Megan, what do you like about playing scratchers? Well, they're easy to play when I'm hanging around. Oh, okay. Like when you're relaxing? No, like when I'm hanging on the trapeze. I swing upside down, then do a quadruple somersault, all while playing a scratchers. Watch this. Ta. Unbelievable.

Parks Casino New Jersey Chime time is [music] 10:09. It's the Judy and EJ show with Kyle who's back with us. I'm Judy Franco. There's EJ. Come on. Uh we have so much to talk about today. Exactly. We made the announcement yesterday. What announcement? that uh [music] Dennis will be coming back and working with me and EJ's going up into you know [music] this big important position. Yes. Um and you got a you actually got an email for one of the most important people in this industry um EJ with supporting you and yeah he says he said something very cryptic all he said was um he says he says I hope you will do what needs to be done. No really do it. By that he means firing me. No, no, cuz he is the only It's so funny. Like there's something to be said for a 30-year career at the same radio station. I know. It's super impressive. But he will not acknowledge I mean, can I just say what it is? No. Okay. Why? Why? He'll he'll get the jollies if he if he if he hears that happened. Really? He would. Okay. So, you want to give him the jollies? He's jolly enough. This guy is a now he's just a talk show host, you know. He used to be a big consultant, but now he's been relegated to just being a talk show host, which as you know is a very lowly position here at the radio station. Um, and he met me 30 years ago, turned his face when he met me to show his displeasure, and has never um ever after that has never acknowledged my presence in the radio industry. And I guess I must have felt insecure at some point, like thought he was like really important. So, I allowed him to make me feel that way. But guess what? But hey, you're a Gracie Award winner. There's not that many. I officially have had more success in this industry than he has. So, I'm going to say if by doing what needs to be done in this station means I don't know, changing it in some way. No, don't do it. I'm here to salute you, Judy. That's what needed to be done. I I love you. Thank you. And to to that gentleman, I've I've always given you my love and support, and I always will. Thank you. and he doesn't of course listen. So it's not like he's listening now. He just read it in the trades that Dennis was coming back. So um you know maybe I'll shoot him an email and say hey do what needs to be done over at uh that station you're working at. Yeah. So anyway, but Kyle's you didn't say hi to Kyle yet. I have not heard his voice at all. Have I heard your voice at all? Kyle. Hello. Oh, there he is. Hey there. Hello. Um, actually, I really feel like we need to talk about something with airplanes and airports because we welcome our friend Kyle back to the program with an interesting story about being stuck. And by the way, you won't be the only person who was trapped in Germany by the Nazis, just so you know. Were others Were others shot in Frankfurt? What? You were shot in the thigh? What? Oh, wait. I've got a golf ball sized wound in my thigh. The fleshy part of the thigh. What happened? I don't know exactly. No, no, no. Golf ball sized wound. I haven't played golf in like 3 weeks. I'm way out of the loop on golf. We need to understand what is going on. Can we explain? Well, I uh I was supposed to be back yesterday and missed But you got shot. That Well, that happened midday yesterday. So, I I missed a connecting flight from Warsaw to Frankfurt. Got there. Then from Frankfurt to JFK that got missed. Got stuck in Frankfurt for a day. Had to stay in a weird shy hotel that the airline put us up in and then the flight the next day. Oh yeah. It was all it was it was all weird. It was it was so bad. Just the last two days of my life. May have been the two worst days I've ever had in my life. I mean it was it was really bad. But how did you get shot? Can we get to that? Well, I I gave it to a couple of Luansa agents at the uh at the the gate agents and I think they had enough of me and to subdue me. I wasn't handcuffed. I was shot in the thigh. So, I'm dealing with that now. No, come on. Seriously, what? How'd you get shot? The Luanza. I'm kidding. I I [laughter] I don't I don't want to start saying crazy things on the air. [clears throat] Uh basically, the last two days of my life were hell. It was awful being stuck in Frankfurt trying to get out of that airport like 24 the last 35 hours of I was in that airport. Not fun. Not fun whatsoever. Uh the flight was 10 a.m. yesterday. The one that they rescheduled us on that got pushed all the way till 7:45 p.m. So I didn't get home till like 2 a.m. this morning. What time were you able to leave the airport to go to the hotel? I You didn't have to stay in the airport. So we got into Frankfurt. Oh no. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. We got into Frankfurt cuz they put you on a wild goose chase to finally figure out where the counter is to get everything squared away and then there's 75 people that are in line before you. So, we landed in Frankfurt, I want to say probably like 2:15, 2:30 maybe, uh, yesterday and we didn't leave the Frankfurt airport, go to the hotel until about 8:30 that night. And yeah, I mean that was that was I really feel like Well, Kyle, before you continue, I really feel like it's important to give out the phone number and tell people um ask people to tell their stories about when they were delayed, the longest delay, the worst delay, what the airline did to compensate you, if anything. Um and America, Kyle, they would never get away with putting you in a bad hotel. That's just like, you know, it's in your um contract of carriage that everybody signs when they buy a ticket, you know, and that they have to take care of you. In fact, there are rules you don't even know about compensation in America that they're required to really take care of you. They can't just throw you into a bad hotel. But let's ask people when you were delayed or your flight may worst flights you ever took? 1 800283101.5. Scott is very upset. EJ uh Kyle, he says, "Glad you get back, but now we have to listen to the boring ass polling trip." Well, I haven't gone into that. Just Frankfurt, Germany. I can go into that if you'd like. Um 1 800283101.5 is our phone number. So, tell us more. Tell us about um why the hotel in Frankfurt was so bad. I mean, just incredibly musty. It the AC didn't work. You're already sweating your you know what's off cuz the Frankfurt airport for some reason negative AC and you are running back and forth trying to find a bill and you know the service counter we had luggage that was on the plane that was supposed to be going to JFK. We had to figure out where that luggage was. So Ally and I are like chickens with our head cut off trying to figure that out while her dad is trying to get in line at the service counter. You're sweating like crazy. Finally, you know, end up getting to the hotel thinking you have a flight the next morning. Okay, we'll get back at a normal time. That of course didn't happen. But then you finally get to the hotel. It's weird. It's seedy. The bed is gross. You look underneath of of the sheets. It didn't It wasn't clean. We slept on top of the sheets. Everything just was Everything just felt really really gross. And then you shower, but you're already hot before you get in the shower and then I get out of the shower. I'm hot. Isn't that the worst when you get out of the shower and you're still sweating? You ever had that happen? Like it was awful. Is it like um like a What was the name of the hotel? You can just tell us. What was the name? Ebis Ibis. For some reason, that sounds like it's like it would be a nice hotel. I thought so, too. When I found out we were put in the EBIS, I said, "Heck yeah, I'm excited to see what this place is like." Set foot in it. I said, "Oh, boy." What was the surrounding area like? Was it shady or was it uh uh it was Yeah, it was like an industrial complex right by the airport. And there are and and the and the thing is there are beautiful hotels directly across from when you walk out of the Frankfurt airport. There are nice hotels. I'm thinking we're going there. We have to hop on a bus for 15 minutes and go somewhere else. Were there other Americans? cuz I feel like Americans would go up to them and be like, "I'm not staying." So, here's the crazy thing. There were so many people cuz a lot of the people that were on the Warsaw to Frankfurt flight that I was on that then we missed the connecting flight to JFK. There were a lot of people that were American on that flight and I'm thinking they're on the next flight as well. Like all these people are trying to get back to the US. You would think that they would hold the plane cuz they were the same airline. So, the it was Lufanza. They, you know, the flight leaving Warsaw was delayed. that screwed up the connecting flight. So, you're thinking that they'll at least hold the plane or do something, try whatever they can so that way they're not leaving back to the US with a half empty flight cuz people aren't there. Usually they do that. They didn't. And maybe they did for a while cuz to be fair, we missed it by like an hour. It was a whole ordeal getting off the plane, getting onto a bus, and passport control was brutal. Just At any point, Kyle, I'm very happy to be back. At any point, did you ask to speak to a manager? [sighs and gasps] Uh, not a manager. No. Okay. I did get I did get into it with some of the gate agents who I feel bad is not their fault, but I was as a man I was broken. I was I was broken and beaten down. It was bad. I'm just glad you didn't say I need to speak. No. But then then Kyle would be the new Karen. That's And here's the problem with that and here's maybe it's just the way that I think of this when it comes to complaining is the gate agents. It's not their fault. and they're gonna refer you to some whack phone number who the person has no idea what you're talking about or doesn't care or it's not their fault either defect you off people in front of you they know that they can just constantly deflect deflect deflect deflect cuz nobody's going to get to the root cause complaining is not worth it honestly why do people complain complaining does nothing in any aspect of our life complaining does I'm complaining about complaining well I think that you're [laughter] right and I think that everybody listen we have a lot of people who want to talk about this. Everybody's delayed and been delayed at some point. Um, Kyle, can I [clears throat] and interrupt you so we can just check traffic and then we'll get back to the rest of your boring story. Amanda and Peter. No, I'm kidding. Um, yeah. No, I mean, people are freaking out from your trip from hell. Uh, and I can't think of a worse place to be stranded. 1 800283101.5. Amanda and Peter, hang on. 1019. Here's New Jersey Fest. Judy and EJ on New Jersey 101.5. Real stories, real [music] opinions, and we definitely want yours. Hit us up on the app chat [music] or call us now. 1 8002831015. [music] So, we want to hear your flights. Of course, Kyle is back today. Of course, he's a day late because of a flight mar. So, we want to hear yours [music] at 1800 283101.5. Welcome back, Kyle. Thank you very much. Loved it so much. Even though there um part [music] of it was the trip from hell, but only like the end end, you know, majority of the trip phenomenal. Once we left Poland and got into Germany, all hell broke loose. All right, let's go right to Amanda in Oldbridge. Hi, Amanda. Welcome to the show. Hi, good morning. I'm glad to be here. Good to hear you, Amanda. Definitely have Hi. I have a flight mayor for you. All right. We had a girls trip back in August. There was a hurricane coming to Orlando International Airport and we were delayed for 17 hours. No. And they told us the best part was if we don't get on a flight, they're they're closing the airport and we have to get out. Oh my god. Are you kidding? I really wish I was. So, our flight was supposed to be at 11 in the morning. And it kept getting delayed, getting delayed, getting delayed. So, you know, you don't want to keep bashing the flight attendant, but you're like, "What's the hold up?" So, first they told us, "Oh, it's the weather." Then they said, "Nope, we can't get you on the plane. The flight crew is about to time out." Then it went, "Oh, nope. Guess what? The pilot timed out." So, we were supposed to leave at 11:00 in the morning. We didn't take off until like 12:00 p.m. the following day. Oh no. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? I really wish I was. Now we were We had to sleep on the airport floor. They told us if you take your luggage off of this plane, like if you had a checked bag, you forfeit your seat on the plane and that's it. I can't believe that they're even allowed to do that. So what did you do? I know. So obviously we waited because it was either we try to get another flight or we try to go to another airport and try to drive home because we were in Florida and we're from Jersey. So that's a pretty decent car. You would have been home if you just [clears throat] drove. Yeah, I know. If we just drove, but who wants to drive on the girls trip? Nobody, right? Right. Oh my. The only thing that they gave us like foodwise was I really wish I was kidding. A beef jerky and a bottle of water. Jeez. Oh my god. Oh my god. They're not like obligated to give you more than that. They have to They have to give you something else. I have to know what airlines. That's what they gave us. I know. Just tell us the airline. What's the airline? Jet Blue. Oh, yeah. By the way, they're the ones that got in trouble once for keeping people in the air too long or keeping people on the uh tarmac too long. I would think that they would really not do that anymore, but who the hell knows? I guess they didn't learn their lesson. Wait, how long ago was this? A few years ago, we were sleeping on the airport floor in ponchos and masks cuz no one wanted to get CO from the Oh my god, that's Yeah, my trip doesn't feel so bad anymore after listening to this. I wish you had a hotel room. I had a hotel room. The musty. It was musty, but it's better than the airport. Plenty of musty hotels in Jersey. You probably call it home. It wasn't even the new terminal at Orlando either. It was the old one. We didn't even get the nice new seats. We had just the the dirty floor and the carpet. Yeah. Um I I got to tell you, I must tell you, Amanda, that so far is the worst. Well, besides Kyle, cuz at least yours was in America. And you were shot. Amanda, thank you for calling New Jersey 1.5. By the way, wouldn't you say any foreign uh delay is worse than a delay? When she was describing all that, in my head, I was thinking, man, that stinks. You're there for basically 24 hours. That is awful. But being in an airport where I can't read the signs unless I go to the very bottom where it has it in English and it's tiny and hearing all the other and I don't know what's being said or what's happening. And I'm talking to the gate agents for Lufansza and they have a thick accent and it's just like you the whole trip was great. Like it's very cool being in a place where you don't speak the language and and watching how people operate because it's like a different world. Feels like you're in hell. The devil was talking. I swear. And that's [laughter] the Frankfurt airport to me now is hell. like that. That feels like a special place for hell is getting stuck there where all you hear is [laughter] I can hear the devil sounding that way. It was so bad. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We want to hear your delay stories, Peter. We still have you up. And CJ missed his flight home in uh on his way to California. Can't wait to hear about that. your worst time. [laughter] Your worst delay stories. And if they had that accent, they were horrible. 10:30. Oh, we're going to take a break for the news now on Judy and EJ. Welcome back, Kyle. Judy and EJ on New [music] Jersey 101.5 with Kyle. He's back from Poland. [music] Little bit of a flight in Frankfurt, Germany. So, we're getting your flight stories at 1 800283101.5. [music] Uh CJ is in Hunter County, was on his way to California and had a flight marmare. Tell us all about it, CJ. Oh, this is about flights. Well, kind of a flight. I uh went out with uh about 25 friends from all over the country. We met out there for Fourth of July. on my way back uh you know on one of the freeways in California, I missed my my exit and and took another exit. Next thing I know, um go through neighborhood neighborhood where nobody speaks English and different dialects of uh different nations and then finally I stop at a police station and ask them for directions because you didn't have GPS then. And this was back in what 88 I believe 89. And uh the uh thing that I I wanted to uh bring to attention to is that uh I flew United and just as I was pulling into the airport, I could see my airplane, my ride leave. But what United did back then uh is they would give you a little room with a bed, a TV, a phone, and a shower in the airport. In the airport. That's so funny. And anybody I ever talked to, they say they've never heard of it. Never heard of it. I think you dreamed it, CJ. That never happened. No, I know. I was there on [laughter] Did I guess they must have had a like a little like motel type setup like it was like room after room after room. Exactly. Exactly. Because they had to have a hundred room. I mean every flight is going to need 100 rooms. A single bed, a television, a phone, and a shower. It must have been so rare to have a delay in those days. That's wild. Now I'm old, you know. So that's so funny, CJ. That's a great story. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. You've just shocked us. And then if there's anybody that can attest to this room in the airport with a little shower or something, I would love to hear from you. These airports are much like third world nations, you know, just people laying around everywhere and all they need is tents. All you need is tents. It's like horrible when you have to sleep on a floor, you know, in in what are not third world nations. here in the United States. Right up here in Newark, right down there in Philly and in Frankfurt, Germany. You know what's cool though, EJ? Like if you um fly out, which I'm going to do this this summer. I never fly uh JetBlue. I fly United because it's right here. But I have to go somewhere where I'm going somewhere where um Jet United doesn't fly. So I got to go to JFK. The best part of flying JetBlue out of JFK is what? The hotel. Oh, because the TWWA hotel is connected to JFK, right? So, you wake up in the morning and if you fly JetBlue, you take the elevator down to the lobby of the hotel and you're at the check-in counters for JetBlue. So, you never have to go to the airport. You're just in you're sleeping in. You're within the compound. You don't have to worry about like ground transportation or any shuttle shuttles or anything. You're just That's what I That's where I'd want to be. That's that's actually a So that's a good backup uh plan, right? To do that. I don't know why every air that's why when he was talking about the little room at the hotel and I was I mean at the airport I was like why doesn't every I know every airport has hotels near it adjacent. But why doesn't every hotel have a floor or two on top of it that's a nice hotel so that you can just take the elevator down or if your flight is cancelled you don't have to sleep on the floor, right? or at the ebis. Or at the ebis that smelled musty musty ebis. You know, there is a hotel close to the Philly airport. I think they it's at Hilton right next to the parking garage there. It's like you have to walk a It's across like the I'm sure, you know, there's the arrival. It's like right there, but it's probably really expensive. Yeah. I mean, well, that's the other thing. Yeah. I You're paying for the luxury of being able to stay right there, which is super nice. I mean, that it sounds you have no issue with the travel. You just [snorts] kind of go down and check in. take out the ride sharing the shuttle out of it. There's less to worry about. Good point. It's worth the TWWA hotel is a uh faximile of the old Panama building. It is in the old Panam building. So, it's all 60s themed. It's Mad Men. EJ and that's in Newark. JFK. Oh, JFK. And then don't they have one in LA, too? Which it's an old TWWA structure. Do they in LA where they Oh, I don't know. Maybe. But EJ, you need to go there just over Mark and I have been there overnight just for fun because you get a room on the runway. So you watch the planes land and take off and the whole entire thing is 60 steam and when you go there's all like it's like ultra mid-century, right? Ultra mid-century. They have not changed it and I used to fly out of that airport every summer when I was little. So it really brings back memories. And they have displays of all the old stewart's uniforms from the 60s. I love that stuff. You've got to go, EJ. It's your next overnight with your wife. I've never been to JFK. I've never flown out of there. Kyle, promise me. I'm a little scarred of 60s themed things after being in the Ebis, which hasn't been renovated [laughter] since the 60s. But next time I'm at JFK, I'll consider it if my PTSD has gone away by then. All right. Eugene is in Tom's River. Tell us your story. This sounds like a flight, by the way. A real flightmare. Yeah, it was. We were coming back from Aruba a couple of weeks ago at night and the uh plane we were landing on the IKEA runway there. All of a sudden, we hit the ground and then just took right back off again. Oh no. What does that mean? What does that mean? Like they touched down and they lifted the nose back up and it back up and the landing. Oh no. Why? They said there was wind on the runway or something. But you had already landed, right? So what do they why are they afraid to win there? The wheels hit and then we just took off like a rocket ship again. Oh my god. I would have thought it was over. Yeah. I know. See what we are not allowed to do these topics if I'm going to be flying in the near future because it gets me so scared. Like that ever happened to me, I don't know what I would do. Um, do they first time ever? So now did the does the pilot get on immediately and say no. He straightened out the plane first and then he got on and talked about the wind and then [clears throat] he said and plus I don't even know if I believe them when they say wind. It was raining too that night too. So it's you know that that was like a driver's ed you [snorts] know that was like a pilot landing the first time. I I don't know, but it was scary. Yeah. Wouldn't you know what the wind is like, you know, a few thousand feet before you land and then maybe you don't have to go that far down? You're saying that maybe they use the wind as an excuse for something else going on. Uh yeah, that's all that's what they told us. The 15 minutes we were getting there early, the 15 minutes we had a circle back around and land. I Wait, did I just lower myself, guys? Cuz I've been around. Okay, you're good. I really believe Oh, I'm sorry. JFK, you're right. I'm so sorry. The former TWWA terminal, not Panama. I don't know why I said Panama, but it is a TWWA hotel. Um, and uh, Eugene, that's a very, very scary story. Thank you so much for calling. I I must say, if they don't get on right away, they really, for anything unusual that happens on a flight, they really should get on right away. I'm sure we've all been on together where we've all been on flights where there's like more turbulence than usual or highly aggressive turbulence and the pilots usually get on right away and go folks, we're going to be whatever. Or if you hear something strange or whatever, a pilot should get on right away and be like that was dot dot dot. Yeah, I guess they they you know, in the instance like Eugene's mentioning, they don't because they have to get the plane squared away first, right? So, they're trying to figure out to what's happening. You know, here's the other thing, too. You know, Dennis did that voice yesterday. You just did the the pilot voice today. I think they're trained to do that voice. That's why they sound the way they do because they can't be too up and they can't be too down. They just want to keep you calm. Right. The other annoying part of flying a European airline is I was flying Lufansza and so they first go on And then they come on and then they go in English and they tell you what they're exactly saying, but I don't know what the first part of it is, right? So I'm listening to this German nonsense to me and everybody on the plane who's German and there were a lot are reacting and they're groaning and then I finally find out. So it's like Charlie Brown's teacher goes and everybody [laughter] and then I find out he comes on after he does that. He says, "So we're actually going to be circling the airport for 40 minutes. We're not cleared to land and all the Americans. Oh my god. Delayed reaction. Yeah. Great. So, that was fun. That is fun. Oh my god, that's such a cute story. All right, Mark has a great story of a flight delay. That was a flight mayor. Mark, I hope you hang on with us. We got to take a just a quick break on the Judian EJ show to check New Jersey Fast Traffic Station 1054 Judine EJ Show at 1 80028311.5. and I were talking about your flight mares. [music] Kyle just got back from uh Poland by way of Frankfurt, Germany. And you were stuck there how long? Uh over 24 hours. So it was probably about like 30 hours. And you had to stay at [music] a musty motel. The musty Ebis. Yeah, that is horrible by the way. Um but not the worst flight. Somebody on our app chat is talking about my biggest fear, a bird strike. Oh. and he said that they were taking off. Uh he felt something strange. Sure enough, bird strike and Yeah. That's what happened with that Sully flight in the Hudson, right? Yes. Yeah. Yes. He says, "I was flying home from Spain to New Jersey for Thanksgiving. Took off immediately felt something uh off. It turns out massive bird strike. They had a circle over the Mediterranean for 3 hours dumping fuel because they couldn't land. The plane had too much fuel. Never had that kind of anxiety in my life. Pilot was wonderful keeping us informed and the flight attendants kept the drinks flowing. They would need more than drinks if I'm on that plane. They would need like an IV with some propil whatever. What's that thing that killed Michael Jackson? Propell. Yeah, I would need to be put to sleep. Uh let's go to Mark on 287. This is a horrible thing. Tell the story, Mark. All right. And so it's so long ago I'm probably going to forget the particulars, but my daughter had an interview at Indiana University. So we got to um I think it was LaGuardia about 9:00 in the morning for 11:00 flight. It was bad weather that day. We got on the plane. We pulled away from the the uh terminal. We sat on the tarmac for three and a half hours while storms came by. We went went back to the terminal. We couldn't get off the plane. They did whatever they did. They pulled us away again waiting for the storm to clear. We then sat for another three hours on the tarmac because the storms and you can't go back to the terminal because the lightning is all over the place. They had to turn the engines off so we had to pull the shades down because the the it was going to be is getting too hot inside the cabin. Oh god. Well, it's p PS at the end of the day 11 o'clock at night. We're sitting uh in a diner in Fort Lee having something to eat. [clears throat] We never left the we never left the airport. Ugh. And how much time went by? We got there at 9:00 in the morning and 11:00 at night. We're sitting in a diner in Fort Lee having something [laughter] to eat cuz they ran out of food and drink, everything on the plane. Yeah, that's a nightmare, Mark. That that that's that's a nightmare actually being on the plane and then having to, you know, just being stuck there. Yeah. And we were clear to we were cleared to leave. We start pulling away and then people wanted to get off the plane. They didn't they didn't want to go continue the flight. So, we had to go back to the terminal and let them off and then they then the crew obviously they their their uh the day was over. There was no crew to replace them. So, so they cancelled the flight. Yep. It's the same. And Mark, thank you for the phone call. It's the same thing that happened with me where that plane is there. We were ready to go. Then they finally deemed there's an issue with it. Then they need a new plane, but then the crew timed out. So then you're left with no plane and no crew. So then you got to find both of those and it's just a nightmare that H finding those two things and getting, you know, both the crew and the new plane takes forever. Fortunately for us, they got we were out in California and we were waiting for a plane and just a few hours went by, so it wasn't really that bad. We felt inconvenience, but nothing like these stories or your story. I feel like Kyle though some of your p fellow passengers might have said, um, I'll pay more or I'll go on my own for a hotel. I bet you some people saw that this and did not stay. Yeah. I mean, her her dad was saying the same thing of had I known we were going to be put up here, I would have gotten a new stay and somehow forced them to pay for that one instead, right? Yeah. Versus what, you know, going But we didn't know. We're, you know, just taking a shuttle to this to this hotel. I'm thinking we're getting put up in the Ritz cuz they're upset that they had to It's late at It's late. Yeah. We didn't get there until 900 p.m. Yeah. You're And so you're exhausted. You haven't eaten. We We ate that morning in Warsaw cuz we're expecting for a long day of travel. We didn't like Mark, our last caller mentioned, I probably didn't eat for almost, you know, 15 hours or something. Nothing good happens in Poland. No. Well, no. This is Germany. Germany. Nothing good happens in Germany. Poland was fun. And when you're hangry, [laughter] hungry, sweaty. Well, that's worth it. Hot and hungry. Hot and hungry and stuck in Germany. Hot in a mustache hotel. You're lucky that they didn't just hand you What? What did that guy say? They handed him a piece a beef jerky and a bottle of water. To the credit of the airline, they covered your hotel room. They covered your meal at the hotel, which was, you know, not great. But they gave you that. They then when we were delayed, delayed, delayed the next day. They then gave you another thing where you could get food at this place and you had this much credit to use. Like, they did try to compliment and and give you stuff to keep you at bay, but it was it wasn't really working. Well, welcome home. We're so glad to have you. We're gonna try to treat you a little better than Lufansza did. Thank you. All right. It's not You don't have to say much. Well, we just won't talk in that German accent. That's I don't need to hear that ever again. I'm [laughter] good. All right. We're going to take a quick break on the Judy and EJ show with Kyle. We'll be right back. [music] Bed Parks online casino and sports book app. New Jersey chime time 11:09. That's a good record. I love this record. Such a good one. Kyle wreck it. We're Judy and EJ and uh Kyle's [music] with us. Back with us. Yes. Uh having some fun today. We're we're we're actually like really excited that the band got back together. Uh the band, a different band is getting back together on July 13th, the return of the Dennis and Judy show. Yeah, I'm here till July 9th and I start I start vacation on the 10th, but my last day with you guys is going to be July 9th. And then Dennis returns on July 13th. I came back this big announcement. I thought the big announcement was I got shot in Frankfurt. Turns out that was a big announcement. Turns out there was another one. Yeah. Yeah. In the world. He was here yesterday. I got to be on the air with Dennis and Judy. Wow. You should only know how many people were like, "But what about Kyle?" And we're all like, "Who cares about Kyle?" Being on with Dennis and Judy yesterday was a really big thing cuz I grew up listening to them. I mean, [laughter] shut up. But you know who did grow up listening to me? Joe Hire. Yeah. So, he's giving me the biggest compliment. He's so sweet. He's recording me the other day. Joe Hire is the morning guy and also program director of our sister station WPST, which is right across the hall. So, he records me on a commercial cuz you were away, Kyle. And he goes, "I got to tell you like this is really an honor." And he was like serious. He's like, cuz when I think about it, like you're who was on in the car when my mom was driving me around and I was like five. And I was like, you think that's a compliment, but like f you. [laughter] But it actually is true with Dennis though. I was 14, but Dennis was like 18 or whatever, you know, and I and I heard Dennis on the radio when I was 14 in like the 70s. That's such a big age difference though when you're 14 to 18 versus 32 to 36. Like that's such a That's such a different time in your life. Oh, it's crazy. It's crazy. An 18-year-old feels like they're, you know, a full grown adult to you when you're 14 years old. Yeah. Well, it's funny because to me, EJ and Dennis are the same age, right? But like you just said, back then 14 and 18 is Yeah. Crazy. It's like, well, especially with girls, [laughter] that's a very good one that I'm not sure where to take this now. He's actually [laughter] I mean not to be like not to belabor this by the way but EJ when you were um 14 was 19. Oh okay. He's actually got five years on you. Okay. Well okay. Which is amazing because once you hit a certain age as you know we're all the same age. I I call him and make requests on this station in Hamilton. [laughter] That's so funny. Anywh who, um, guys, I want to talk to you about something. Um, there's actually a story in the news about this, but recently, well, my husband's car was parked. I live on a cold sack. Um, but you can't see the street from my cameras. You can only see like my front door from the It's hard to explain. Heavily wooded. Heavily wooded. The Franco Compound, right? Exactly. So, one day my neighbor calls Mark and he goes, "Hey, I just saw a school bus pull into the culde-sac um and hit your car." And Mark's like, "Oh god." We go out, there's like a huge dent in it. And we're like, "H, this is like this sucks." But whatever. Um, you know, a school bus is not going to stop with a million kids on it and be like, "Hey, I hit your car." He doesn't even know which person on the block has that car. So, whatever. It's still hit and run to me. You should leave a note. What? I would never do that, but it happens all the time. You walk out, you see your car hit or you're even in the car. My son was in his car uh pulling up to a delivery when he was doing deliveries. A school bus backed up, hit him, and then just pulled away and drove. And he was never able to find Oh, he finally found the company, but they were like, "Yeah, so sue me." You know? Um yeah, it was a horrible thing. He had like seven or $800 of damage in his car. Um, we had to pay for it because we don't want to go through insurance and it just happens. People are rude. So, or maybe they're drunk and they're hiding. Have you ever been a victim of or witnessed a hit and run? 1 800283101.5. You know, I think a lot of these things happen because the person's been drinking and I maybe the penalty is less. You know, you don't get busted for you sober up and then you turn yourself in, right? So there's probably less of a penalty because you're hit and run has a set of penalties and then driving under the influence has another whole set of, you know, life altering problems. So So I I guess the lesser of two evils is turning yourself in as a hit and run person versus stopping and get busted for drinking and driving. Of course, that's why every that's why it's so common to hit and run because you know you're going to get in much less trouble the next day for hitting and running uh than you would have for driving drunk. So, the phone number is 1-800283101.5. Um, our app chat is open, too, and we'd love to hear from you whether you walked out and saw your car smashed up or dented or you actually saw somebody on the road hit somebody and run or they hit you and run. It's happened to me so many times I can't even name them because when you drive in the area we drive into commute to this job and I did that for 14 years. I know you did it for a lot longer EJ. Um but when you drive there's two ways I can go home from this radio station. One is the civilized way and one is I know of no other way to put it but the uncivilized way. Well the only way I would go would be 195. That would be the only way I'm talking about to get to 195. You can either go through the nice the nice town, right? Or you can go through the hood. So when I go around and then I would get on route one and then have to drive by for two seconds, I would have to drive by the, you know, where the um the the arena is over there on 29 or 129, whatever. go that way. Okay. So, I would occasionally go that way because it's for me it sometimes shows quicker on the GPS depending on the traffic in town. You never went like I'm going to get in the weise here for a second. You never went down um Edgar's crossing made left on 206 and then got on on 95 over there many many times. That's the way to go. It's actually longer because you're going around as opposed to when you go straight through Euing Street Trenton. Yeah. Um go all the way to New York Avenue which gets you to that road that I think is like 29 or it's 129. I think if you're talking about where the Cure Arena is, that's 129. So to get onto that road, there's an area down there that is kind of dicey. I've been hit three times there. Jeez. Not not only that, but did I ever tell you about the time I was at the gas station there and a guy I pulled up the gas station, the guy in front of me was done filling with gas. He pulls back, bumps me. Gets out of his car and he goes, "You just hit me." And I'm like, "No, I didn't." And he and I could tell that this guy just wanted money. I looked in my purse. I go, "I have 50 bucks. Thank god I had that." Yeah. And he gave it to him. And Yeah. And he go I go, "Will that be enough?" And he goes, "No, first I said, "I'm sorry. I had a 20, too." I go, "All right, here's 20 bucks." He goes, "That isn't going to do it." Meanwhile, his car was a wreck. Like smashed it all over the place. And I said, "Okay, I have a 50." And he goes, "Okay, that'll do it." His car was because he had he has a habit of setting these things up. Exactly. So, I was like, "Oh my god, this is like a total scam. I'm going to be in such big trouble. 50 bucks that I pulled away so fast can make your head spin." But in those 14 years, three times you were at a gas station like like in in the hood basically. Yeah, you know the one. Yeah, I know. I know the one. I um and one some guy was coming. You do get cheaper gas if you go through the hood. I did it yesterday. Take your life in your hands. I did it yesterday. It was awesome. Yeah. Cash price. It was great. Yeah. You got to go to those liberties that are out there. [laughter] Well, this is Roma and that's on Spruce Street. It's not so bad over there. No, that is not bad at all. I'm talk You know where I'm talking about. Yeah, that's they've by the farmers market. They always have the cheapest gas. Right. But you know what I'm talking about, which is the scary place. No, the other way. I know the other way. Down toward going down toward the river. Exactly. right across from what used to be the night's in where I once saw a lady and I use the term lady very use loosely walk out in a robe and curlers and slippers cross that street which I think is Route One already over there to go to the Dunkin Donuts and to go buy cigarettes across the street at the gas station. Robe, slippers, curlers. Wow. Need I say more? Out on the street. We've only seen you like that way that way on the show. [laughter] 11:18. Uh, John and Bob have great stories about hits and runs. We'll get to those in a minute. 11:18. Here's Fast Traffic. Talking about the stuff only deals with. Back [music] with Judy and AJ with Kyle on New Jersey 101.5. With Kyle is back. Welcome [music] back, Kyle. Thank you, sir. We're talking about hit and run. 1-800 283101.5. We have a mailbox, you know, on the street, not on the house, but out by the street. And three times [music] that since we've been in my inherited house, um it's um it's been hit by people. Hit and run people. One time a guy drove over in the middle of the night and you hear and I look out my window. Is that what you heard? Yeah. And I look out the window and I see all these sparks coming out from underneath the car. The guy went over the post and the mailbox lodged itself underneath the car. And the guy tried to get unlod it. and he was going back and forth and it was, you know, making sparks all over the road in front of our house. But then the guy just took off and then I guess I have this like 5-in pole, iron pole that holds the mailbox up and it's a really strong one and it goes down deep because people have hit it before. I guess the previous owner, my parents um [laughter] um I put in this pipe deep in the ground, right? So, what it did though, the the iron pipe, it dragged out the um the underc carriage of the car and the crank case where all the oil sits. So, the guy only made it a block down the road and abandoned his car and ran off and the car's down just sitting there on the side. Then, we called the cops and the guys I guess the person was drunk and they didn't want to, you know, didn't run. So, that's what happened with us. And then somebody had it about a year ago and the kid came by the next day and apologized and you know, paid paid and fixed the mailbox. He said, "Just pay pay for it and fix it." And that was um Kyle, you missed that yesterday. Um you should really go through the app chat. It's hysterical. All the people when they heard Dennis was coming back and they're like, "Oh, we're going to miss EJ." Like everybody was like, "Oh, we're going to miss EJ on the show, but congratulations EJ." And one of the things is that this guy's like, "I'm not going to miss EJ one bit. The guy can't even buy himself a house." [laughter] I love him people. How many other times that house was hit while your parents owned it? I mean, it's only [laughter] been three times in the 30s. You have got this 5 in iron pipe, which is kind of illegal cuz you you're only supposed to have like a 4x4 post. This is a a it's the size of like a 45 record and it goes in the ground. But you know what's funny? Like four feet above the ground. It might be 5t below the ground. It drug out this whole guy the whole under part of the guy's car. He said something to me the other day that [clears throat] he was wrong about. I forget what it is. something about don't you blah blah blah blah and I'm like no EJ you've own known me for 30 years you should know that and it's like these little details of people's lives that you might forget even though you know them for a long time and I was trying to tell him like I I could forget like leave me alone do you remember what it was EJ well see I forgot okay [laughter] good let's go to John in Mount Laurel um we're talking about hit and run and have you ever watched anybody do it have you done it yourself, you can use a fake name. Um, or has it happened to you where you came out and your car was just dented? Hi, John. Talk to me. Hey, how we doing? Good morning today. Good morning. Good. About Well, the one I witnessed was uh was pretty much horrific. It was so sad. Uh, I was out I was in making deliveries for like 25 years ago, making deliveries for a chip company I used to work for. And I saw a little lady down in the parking lot down on the ground. So, I thought I ran over to help her. And I mean, I kind of saw the van. I thought it hit a speed bump, but it clearly was running over this lady. Went over to help her and I just saw, you know, just she had white stockings on and it was just all the blood just coming through the stockings. Yeah. And she was and it was sad thing. She was still teaching. She was 80 years old, still teaching. She died. Uh the lady proceeded to drive in in that shopping center to a Dollar Tree that was at the end and stayed in there for two hours until they finally order cuz here they they had all the cameras in front of the this place was called the Happy Harry's had the cameras and got the van and they were able to track the van down in that parking lot. And but did they not know that they hit somebody? Clearly she did cuz I like I said how to spend two hours in a Dollar Tree. I mean how much [clears throat] how much dollar stuff could you look at? Oh, I could Hello, John. Do not judge how long I could spend in a dollar tree. John, was this down in Delaware with Happy Harrys? Was that Delaware when it happened or Yes, this was actually in Northeast Maryland when it happened. Like I said, this is about 25 years ago. So, but uh it was just it was it was devastating. And nothing happened to the lady. They she she didn't get, you know, charged with, you know, vehicular manslaughter or anything. Honestly, I want So, do you So, it is possible that she didn't know H I I I guess they did. Or she had a good lawyer. You know what I mean? Well, no, because I'm just thinking like when my mom got to be older and when we realized she shouldn't be driving anymore, she it's very possible and that's why we took the license. She was so um not focused that she could have she could have hit somebody and not have known. Yeah. No, this lady driving wasn't wasn't that old. She was probably then probably in her 50s. Oh, wow. So, yeah. Scary. Yeah. All right, John. Well, thank you. Um, we unfortunately, so many of us have experienced hit and run, whether you're right there when it happens and the guy just drives away or you come out of a store and you see your car has a huge dent in it. Tell us when you've experienced a hit and run. And if you did it yourself, we'll give you 10 points. Use a fake name. 1 800 283101.5 on New Jersey 101.5. Judy and EJ. Right back.

I agree. I mean, Dennis might not like it cuz he was never that big of a fan, but I always encouraged you. Remember this, Kyle, though. You're in control. You can make You could actually It's a very good point. You don't want to turn their mics off because they'll get mad at you, but you can make your mic louder than theirs. That's a good and they'll never know. They'll never See, I could do this and then I become really Exactly. Then you're then you're the dominant one. I think this is what you should do. Little things I can do with the with the buttons and knobs. Make sure that I'm the one that everybody hears. Remember 100%. You're the boss. That's right. That is right. Anybody anybody who's on buttons and knobs is the control. You know that and I do get like a control freak in me knowing I'm on button. I don't even like it when I'm not here and I know EJ's on the buttons and knobs. I like doing the buttons and knobs. I did better this time. I believe you. Yeah. No, he did great. more than cable more. Um, but let's go. We're talking about uh hit and run and it happens I guess more than we can imagine cuz got a lot of folks on the line who want to talk about it. Rob is in Newark. He hit somebody and got away with it. Tell the story. Can you hear me? Yeah. Yes. Hello. Yeah. That Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's not That's not what I said to the guy. What I said, what I said was I hit some I hit somebody. I didn't I didn't run or get away with it, but what happened was so I was coming I was coming I was in Newark driving and there was and I was coming down the street and the way it is is there's like a walls around on the street. So like you can't see the side streets coming up and I was doing probably 30 miles an hour in a work truck like a solid metal work truck and this guy and it was also like drizzly out and it was like 5 in the morning so it was dark [clears throat] and this bike just comes right out from the cross area and I you couldn't see him cuz the wall he had no reflectors on no lights nothing and I hit him and I was doing like 30 I had him square on and uh it was yeah it was it was it was it was it was pretty scary and uh And the guy, you know, the guy probably flew, I don't know, 10, 15 feet and hit his head and I and I get out and I walk up to him and his head was like it was like purple and huge and he and he and he was and he was twitching like literally he was like twitching on the floor and I'm like and I'm like, "Oh." And I'm like, "Oh no." And I'm like I'm obviously saying some more explicit words and uh and people and there was a lot of different um uh you know like immigrants out there like waiting to get picked up for like uh working and stuff, you know, like illegals. No offense to any illegals, whatever, but um and so people saw it and like and like the one business owner, the one place came out, the cops came and um and they end up letting me go because, you know, again, he ran the stop sign. Yeah. And then the guy tried to and then they tried to sue me and he was illegal. And this all happened and I'm I'm not trying to make this a political thing but but this all happened when Biden was in office and the court case kept kept getting pushed back. So I'm think they might have dropped the case because they were afraid that he would have got picked up because he's illegal. You know what I mean? But um but that was crazy. That's the end of the story. But it was the guy that is scary. Oh my god. Rob, thank you for calling. A lot. A lot to unpack there. Um 1 800 283101.5. Your brush with hit and run. Whether somebody hit you in a ran, you came out uh from a store, saw your car bashed in or maybe you hit somebody. Let's go to Kevin on the turnpike. And also our app chat is open for your stories. Love to hear from you. Hey Kevin, tell us your story. Hey guys. Uh, so when I was 10, I lived right across the street from my school and they were having a carnival and I ran back home to get something and you know I was 10 year old. Now I was a pedestrian and hit a car. So the cars it's about they do about 40 down the down this it's a pretty main road. I ran out between two cars and ran right into the side of a moving car and I bounced off in it and slammed into a parked car. Oh god. And I laid there for a few seconds and I was bruised pretty good but more scared than anything. And I took off [laughter] like like a deer. Like a deer get hit. They run off and I ran I ran and hid and the cops were out all looking for me. and stuff. And I got more in trouble uh running than getting hit by the car. But fast forward 20 years and I'm in the fire department now. I'm driving down that same road, same spot and another 10-year-old boy in that very same spot did the same thing, but he got he got hit from the front. And so I I blocked traffic, put the lights lights on, and his femur was sticking out. Oh, out of his leg. He he was in bad shape. Oh my god. And and he he was also 10. And And his mother was a nurse, a single single mother nurse who lived about 10 doors down from me. And when I recognized when I found out his name because he was conscious, I kind of thought, "Is your mom so and so?" And I they found out, you know, they called her at the nursing station. And I wound up becoming, you know, friends with them and and uh babysitting for the kids because single mom, you know, they only live 10 down. So I'd watched a kid. Oh my. And he he wound up in a full body cast. Oh man. Well, for like six months. I'm Am I sorry that I brought this topic up? I think I am. Same. I think I am. Thank you, Kevin, for calling New Jersey 101.5. I was thinking of saying, oh, no death rule in effect, but then I was like, no, cuz we're asking about these stories. Those are the most serious hit and runs. And you know, there's plenty of others that aren't so serious. Like, we talked about it. Went to Audi last week and there was a dent on the side of my car. Could have been a shopping cart. They ran into it. You know what I mean? And there's Yeah. A little little dent on the side. See, that's what you get for going to all I always tell you Aldi is a bad idea. Nothing good comes from shopping at Aldi except the quarter you get back when you return the car. But they get the surp Did you see the story about the surprise boxes now? They have these boxes where you can pen 10 15 bucks and then it has in you don't know what you're buying. I don't get I don't get that. There's just stuff in it. No, it's so I'm going today. I'm going to But I've heard in some Aldi the surprise boxes are sold out. I don't get that. And maybe one time just to try it and see what happens. I want to try it today. I never Why would I want to spend money on something that I have no idea what I'm getting? No, I not only that, but like you get something that you would never use in a million years. What if they give me Q-tips? Stocking stuffers, you know? Excuse me for one second. What? Q-tips would be pretty good. Back up a minute. Yeah, Q-tips would be amazing. I think you're right. I think I think after I said that, I realized that would be a great thing to get at Christmas time. You're like two weeks out from Christmas, maybe a week out. And and you got all the major gifts, but there's always those annoying stocking stuffers. People always put stuff in their stocking. For years, I didn't do the kids would get stuff in their stocking. I get something sometimes I didn't get Linda anything in her stocking. And well, now I'm good at it now. That explains Linda's anger toward you, by the way. So, this is what I'll do. Well, if I get the Aldi surprise box, then then I I'll have my stocking stuffers for Christmas 2026. Now, so when you go, she shouldn't have moved the table. That's 100%. When you go, so when you go, are you going to get everything you need to get and then get the box outside of that? Or say you're going shopping, you need bananas, you're going to specifically not get the the bananas because you want to see if you're going to get them in this this box of they're not going to have they're not going to have uh it's like what way do you want to shop? And then what if you get excuse me, what if you get double bananas? Now you've thrown away the ripe ones because you got it. They're not going to put produce in there. Why not? It's probably Did they tell you? It's a surprise. It'll be I'm sure it'll be dry goods. That would be surprising. Something's going to break down in a day or two. Don't go buying Q-tips. I'm going to buy the surprise box. I'll write an article about it. What I find, and I'll, you know, I'll take a video of it and I'll post it online. The whole thing is dicey. Remember this. It's stuff they want to get rid of. That's all I'm saying. Well, still they're purchasing somebody's breakfast. You're getting storebought breakfast. They're getting sold out. There must be something to it. I can't wait though. I'm really excited. Honestly, you need to post this on Instagram because they're I I want to know do an unboxing. It's kind of like, you know, influencers. I don't know if you guys have seen it. They'll get packages from these companies and they open them. You can do this with Aldi. I'm not sure if it's the exact same as a surprise box, but I do have something like that out there where you buy you buy something. It's not that expensive. You open it up and you get what you get. What What What would be a bad thing to get? Cuz I'm kind of convincing myself everything would be good. What if I got aluminum foil? Annoying, but also practical. Or a nail trimmer. Canned chicken. Fine with a nail trimmer. Canned chicken. Scissors. Canned chicken is bad. I mean, what I wanted tuna. There's going to be no perishable. Dark tuna. Tuna will be in there cuz it's tuna in oil. Who the hell wants that? True. Chunk light. Mhm. Chunk light. Spam. [laughter] Solid. Solid white or chunk light. Chunk light. What? Do I live in a trailer? That's for trailer people. I'm just guessing what might be in it. I'm not going to say I'm going to enjoy the chunk light. All right. Harvest Blue cuz that's like one of their stupid names. Brand mayonnaise. Oh. Or maybe the Dry Canada brand soda. Right. Right. I'm telling you, the whole thing is very It's This is fraught with peril. Well, I'm going to find out more about it. Box of tampons. Box of tampons, but nobody can use them. And it's the off-brand tampons. Oh. Um, Eve Summers. [laughter] Eve Summers. All right. That sounds like a good radio name. Hi, it's the Eve Summers and Judy Show. 1 800283101.5. Eileen, we'll talk to you in a minute. I'm sorry we went off on that, but we had to really warn each It's always so jarring when he does that. A joke. I I I think the same thing every time. Is he kidding? I don't know. I'm very hungry. I don't I don't I don't Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm going to have to turn your mic off. Terrible. I don't It happens once a week. It's unbelievable. starts chomping into the mic. I don't get it. I don't get it. This is one of the reasons he left. By the way, he's Judy. I learned this behavior from you. I learned it from you. I never chomp into the microphone. You eat all the time on the air. I have chewed, but I do it really soft foods. Maybe you should chomp. EJ likes to chew the things that make the most sound and right into the It's radio. You I But I the the worst part is I watch him get a kick out of it every time. E. And as Kylie would say, I'm sorry. Is there a noisier snack you can chop on? [laughter] All right, let's uh look out next week and a hair half. I don't care cuz you guys are kicking me off the show. That's right. 11:50 and now you know what. 1150. Uh here's that. It's the [music] New Jersey 101.5 time check sponsored by sellyoucarow.com. It's currently 11:56 on the dot and at sellyoucarow.com they'll [music] give you cash for your car on the spot. Isn't it you? You should go. I just talked. You should talk. All right. Don't mind [music] doing it. Judy and EJ program. We're talking about hit and run. And boy, I'll tell you, it happens [music] more than you would think. When did somebody hit you and then just decide this isn't interesting enough to stick around for? Or when did you walk out of a store and see your car bashed in? No, not nothing. Hit and run happens more than you would think here in New Jersey. 1 800283101.5. Eileen is in middle Middle Middle Town. She actually perpetrated a hit and run. Yikes. Uh, tell us what happened. I hit an army truck on the army base. I was a brand new driver my father's first new car. It was a Mercury Comet and I hid it and I didn't tell anybody. When I went home, I felt so guilty. I conf started to tell my father, but I was crying so hard. It took me like 10 minutes. When I finally told him, he said nothing. He left the room. I was so relieved. My mother said, "Stupid." He thought you were pregnant. Oh my god. So, anything sounds good compared to that? I was like, "Daddy, I did something awful. You're never going to love me again. I'm so sorry." Oh my god. the same thing. A very very similar thing happened to me with one of my kids. He said, "Mom, I'm going to tell you something and it's gonna" and I thought it was so much worse than it was. So when he told me it like didn't even seem like a big deal. That's a really good strategy by the way. Eileen, thanks for calling New Jersey 101.5. You ever like have to break like bad news to somebody? So you're like you want the good news or the bad news, you know? And like once you throw like the good news in, it makes it a little bit better. You know what I mean? I did this with my parents. Like if I did something that I knew would make them mad. Yeah. I'd be [clears throat] like, "You guys, like really laying it on. You guys are going to kill me. You may never speak to me again. Oh my god, I'm so sorry." You know, exaggerate, right? Yeah. And then when I told them it was like, "Oh, I was in an accident or something." They were like, "Oh my god, thank God. I thought you were like, you know, in a cult." Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. Um, yeah. So, 1-800 283101.5 when you had uh a hit and run or you hit and run. Um, so I was telling you when I was getting onto that road, which I think is 29 or 129, I always get it. Stop. The there's a stop sign there before you make a left to go onto this this highway. Okay. and a guy barrels through the stop sign, hits my fender, takes it clean off, and drives by. So now I'm like, I don't know what to do. Is this an accident where I'm supposed to stop? Okay, so I just like forget the fender. I drive down the hill and I'm shaking and there's a cop at the bottom of the hill and I pull over and I'm like, "Excuse me, a guy just like hit me, took my fender off and it's up at the top of the hill and he looked at me like are you why would this interest me?" Because you have to think in that area this is like who cares? Stuff happens all the time maybe. Yeah. Like he was like hit and run. Who car? You're not shot in the face which is what usually happens on that corner. So he was I was like, "Should what should I do?" And he was like, "Just drive. Just drive." That's basically what he was saying. Yeah. But you still have to have everything kind of lined up for the insurance company. Right. When you say the insurance company, if you have no legal documentation, well, he just said, "If you want to go back and get your fender, you can do that, but it's in the middle of the road. I If I were you, I would just leave it." Yeah. And that's what I did. Can you imagine? All right. We're going to break. We're gonna be back right after this. It's Judy and EJ dot dot dot with Kyle coming back at [music] Parks Casino New Jersey time. Time is 12:09. Judy and EJ show. I'm Judy Franco here with my partner for a while. EJ. [music] Yeah, like two more weeks. And then Kyle. Yes, we fired him. Who? You fired me. You fired EJ? Yes. No, cuz I suck. No. [music] Uh EJ has accepted um better job management position with the management of town square I mediate not only helping with New Jersey 101.5 but I might be helping with other radio stations within a company [music] and I hope that you do what really mean needs to be done. I mean it do it. The first thing I do [music] is going I'm going to do what needs to be done. You're going to fire me. I got to I don't know. I I was wondering if that person who said you know what needs to be done and that's all they said. I now I've got a vivid imagination. What What needs to be done? I think I mean I I could probably make a list of things that need to be done, but what's he What's he talking about? Uh probably getting rid of me would be your first. I don't think that's it. No, I don't think he thinks that anymore. I mean, he still may think it, but I think he knows it's not happening. He begged you to fire me for how many years? Well, I mean, until I yelled at him and told him to shut up about it. I know. I mean, I really did yell and and I was and I can be scary when I get mad. The whole thing of that was also, you know, he had a girlfriend at the time that he wanted to have this job. Ah, so when I was hired, it was like a real slap in the face to him that John Duba, our old boss, liked me better. He always had our back. John did. He did. Anywh who, um, I want to talk to you guys. They're they're thinking of making not they're thinking, they're actually going to release a version of M&M's. Yes, I have the story with natural colors, which I get now. Nobody wants what it's natural colors though. I know that they have dyes and things like that. So, what they're going to make orange M&M's out of oranges? I mean, I don't get it. What's that mean that natural colors? I think no. You just no dyes, you know? So, if there will be an orange one, but it'll be like not such a gorgeous vibrant color orange. You know what? The the real colors, you know, the natural colors are not don't color on a candy. There's nothing natural about it, right? I mean, yeah, but it's supposed to be a flavor. So, like, although M&M's, nobody would say any of those colors have a different flavor, right? No, they all taste the same. They all taste it. It It is chocolaty goodness. It's one of my favorite candies. I love M&M's. I love I love peanut butter. I feel a little better about myself when I eat the peanut butter one, the peanut ones, because peanut has protein. Same. Same. It's so funny. It's so dumb. Anyway, hold on. Are you leaving? Are you bored? Yeah, I'm going to leave on on the 9th. My last day. He ran. He ran away from you. Judy was grandchildren were with her in I don't know why he ran away. And he ran away from Judy. So Dennis Dennis ran away. He's running back. [laughter] So M&M peanut is a great candy. I won't say that I am a big fan of the M&M regular. Oh, I like the regulars. I just like the chocolate, but I've grown in my mature years to enjoy the peanut the peanut M&M's. Yeah. I'm not I'm I I do like the peanut M&M's. It would not be my first candy. I'm going to tell you right now, every candy in the world is available to me. I'm going to tell you what it is. Charleston 2. Freeze it. Crack it. Whatever that white stuff is is the nectar of the gods. Wait, what's it called? Charleston Chew. I never had a Charleston Chew. Liar. Is it like a New York thing? Hold on a minute. I never heard of it. You both never heard of Charleston too? No. I'm going to look it up now. We've heard of Goldenberg Peanut Shoes. They make them in Philadelphia also. But I'm sorry. Are you serious? Is it Goldenberg or Goldberg? Yeah. I never had this. Goldenberg. Okay. Um, look at it, please. Charleston 2. You never heard of it? Oh, that looks somewhat familiar, but I've never had one. Okay. It's chocolate. Inside is only white. Whatever that is. Nougat. You freeze it, you crack it, but it's almost like a marshmallowy sort of a taste. Guys, are you kidding me? No. I'm very upset with you guys that you don't know this. I'm going to have to take a look at our machine and see if it has it out there. No, they don't. No. Okay. Um, not much not much candy diversity there. What's yours? What's your favorite? Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Although I do think that they have declined a bit. Even the original original owners of Reese's before they sold them to Hershey's. Wow. They the original They're apparently the original owners, descendants of the original owners are saying Hershey's is not following the original recipe. Ah, [sighs] but I still like Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Actually, Aldi sells a like a a ripoff Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and that's my go-to snack. They're great. What are those called? I don't even Contour or Concour. It begins with a C. I forget. But they're like little baby miniature peanut butter cups and they're great and I think they're better than Reese's. Whatever the go-to peanut butter cup they have at Aldi, check them out. I think I'm I'm a I'm a Kit Kat guy. I like a Kit Kat. I like a Hershey bar. I like them all to be honest with you. There's not really a chocolate candy I don't like, but I think my favorite would be a Kit Kat. I like the wafer. Wafer is good. I'm not a fan. Okay, I'll eat it, but it's not my first choice. I need something chewy that you can pull at. Now, do you like sour candy? Do you like a gummy bear? No. Oh. Oh, I love those. Do I Do I look 14? You know, it's interesting you say that. So, you think that a gummy candy is for young younger people, like a teenager? Love both of you. Love all people. My parents are your [laughter] guys age. I think a peanut butter or a peanut M&M is for 60 plus. Really? Yeah. Everybody I know that's an adult and is, you know, mature, everybody loves the peanut M&M. I like it. It's fine. Peanut M&M is the hard peanut butter cup. Peanut M&M is the old candy for old people as what I tried to do. The old people with the dentures, they're not going to eat the peanuts. They they get the peanuts stuck inside their dentures. Excuse me a second. Not much they can. Although my generation doesn't have dentures. People like their 90 had dentures, but when they were 60, they had dentures. I said from the very beginning, guys. Yeah. I They're okay. It's not going to be my f Kyle. I feel about peanut M&M's the same way you do. Oh, okay. It's good. Which kind of tracks you are younger than you know your your personality and everything. Yes. Yes. [laughter] Not sure where I'm going with this. Honestly, I say tread very lightly. I'm going to. But no, but I do feel that, you know, I I have a similar taste buds to a 30-year-old than a 60-year-old. I just do. I'm surprised you're not a fan of the sour candy, though. Love a good sour candy until it starts giving me sores in my mouth. Sour gummies. Sour gummies. Sour patch. The gummies. The gummies I like aren't sour. Oh, I see what you did there. Yeah. Took me a second. Thought [laughter] I thought it was a sexual reference for a second and then I don't know where it was going. No. Often times I don't know where things are going on this show. Well, I tell you what. Okay. We're asking people what is the best and the worst candy. Okay. You name it. The worst is those uh orange uh circus peanuts. No, that's the worst. Good and plenty. Good and plenty of the worst. I love anything that tastes like licorice. Oh my god. Can I It's good you're saying this at the end of your reign here. Yeah, because believe me, you would not have lasted one more day. Can't be friends anymore. Black licorice. I don't like No, I like I like the the Twizzlers that are red. Yeah, those are good. But I don't like the black. I've always hated that. I don't think I've ever had black licorice. Oh, no. It's the worst. You're lucky that you're getting out of here, too. Oh, oops. You're not. Well, now you are. You're stuck with them. [laughter] Um, also, somebody wrote Laffy Taffy. I do not like any kind of taffy. You know what it is? I don't like fruit candy. I like caramel. By the way, you know what's really bizarre? Over in there in Pennsylvania, like especially that Delo area where those Delco people live, they don't call lollipops lollipops down there. You know what they call them? Suckers. Suckers. No, they call them taffies. What they call lollipops? Taffies down there in Delo. Those That's ridiculous. Those people are weird. Like a hard lollipop. They call a taffy. A taffy. A lollipop that you would like you a little kid and your dad's getting paid and then they they put the money in the envelope and then they put some lollipops in there. In Pennsylvania there in Delo, they call them taffies. Well, do you correct them? I do, but you know, they still call them taffies. Well, how about the people? You know what they call crayons down there? Crowns. Crowns. Crowns. Yeah. Okay. How would they say crayons in Germany? Crowns. [laughter] Here's another Delco thing. Okay. Yeah. Reese's pieces. I hate that. Reese's. It's Reese's. Yeah. And one of our co-workers does it and I want to smack her in the face every time. You know what they say down there, too? I know we're not talking about Del Coat, but they say instead of pictures, they say pictures. I know. All right. It's nauseating. Let's not do this. Does a lollipop get you guys as excited as it does for me? So, Dorenzo's Okay. Sorry. I guess that's it. You shut him down, man. Yeah. I mean, cuz I I guess I'm upset now cuz I thought I thought like Kyle, but now I don't. Now I'm an old lady again. Dorenzo's in uh in in Robinsville, they after you're done, when you're leaving and you pay, they have a big bowl of lollipops, and every time I think it's the best little novelty. I few things excite me like a blue raspberry dum dum. I love it. I I don't know. Maybe it's because I had it so much when I was a kid and I still love it. You grew up in the era, too, where like your parents didn't like cash their paycheck and get cash back and have it in an envelope where the bank and the bank teller would give you a lollipop. I might have I may have gotten some bank lollipops in my day. Okay. I think I have. When I was very little, I remember going with my mom and I think But they're always dum dums. That's the worst. Yeah, but I like a Dum Dum. Oh, dum dum. Once upon a time, I'm going to have a I'll have a I'll have a um Charms lollipop or blow pop. What about a Tootsie Pop? Tootsie Pop. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Tootsie Pops are my heart. Those are the best. [clears throat] Let's take a break. Your candy, the one you love or the one that you're like, who would ever eat this and I'll never speak to that person again. 1 800 283101.5. Like circus peanuts. Your phone calls next 12:20.

[music] What did you have [music] me play? This is Well, listen. It's called Candy Girl and it's my new edition from the early 80s cuz we're talking [music] about candy this house. So Bobby, this is a young Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown went on to do the song My Prerogative. You ever hear that one? Bobby Brown married to Whitney Houston. Uh anyway, he was a little kid when this was out in the early 80s. Has Jackson 5 vibes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it was sort of like a retro throwback when it came out in the early ' 80s. Candy Girl, new edition. 1800 283101.5. We're talking about Jerseyy's favorite candy. Yeah. And I have to say, Greg in Wisconsin said, "Only psychopaths like circus peanuts." Anyway, are they the marshmallow typey things? Like they like He said, "Anyway, I just finished my second bag." [laughter] But are they the real soft things? It's soft, but it has almost like a It has the weirdest consistency in the entire world cuz it's not soft like a marshmallow. It's has like a weird bite. It's like uh styrofoam. Like if you bit into styrofoam. Yeah. What's the point? Like the uh disgusting like those Easter things. Uh cheap Peeps. Yeah. It's kind of like Peeps, but it has No. Yeah. But no, it's just weird consistency. They have that in common. I I never really got the appeal of Peeps. It's just so wrong in so many. What about candy corn? [clears throat] I don't hate candy corn. I like candy corn. A lot of people hate it. I like it. Yeah. It's like buttery, you know? I like butterscotch. Um, but again, okay, and somebody our app chat is busting. Hold on a minute. Somebody wrote something about Okay, boy. This is popping, you guys. I This is amazing. Every single person has something to say on WhatsApp. Give us a call. 1 800283101.5. Apphat. Shut up. Appchat. So, I call it WhatsApp. Um, somebody wrote something about my Charleston Chew and I can't find it. But anyway, if you've never had a Charleston Chew, next time you see one in the store, throw in the freezer, slam it down, crack it into a million pieces. You're welcome. Very much. All right. Um, Kyle, yes. Uh, Laffy Taffy is deb Oh, you didn't say anything about Laffy Taffy. I like Laffy Taffy and I like the Airhead strips. Kind of similar to Laffy Taffy a little bit. Now, those can be annoying because they'll get stuck in your teeth and anything that's getting stuck in your teeth is very annoying. Like Starburst. Yes. Starburst are the same way. All the sour, you know, gummy type stuff will get stuck in your teeth and that becomes annoying. Yes. Yes. Yes. But you go from, you know, sometimes I'm in the mood for sour, other times I'm in the mood for chocolate. They both have their own special place. I, as a kid, loved Sour Patch and I still do. Yeah, my kids love those, too. But you got to get them at the right time. You can't get the Sour Patch. It's a little hard, then they're chalky and disgusting. So, you got to feel the bag and you got to you got to feel and if they give a little squish. Yeah. Then you know that they're good ones. Like when you're buying an avocado to a certain degree. Yeah. I'm always afraid of where this may go. You got to squeeze the avocados. Yeah. Yeah. And they have to have just the right amount of give. Yeah. Too hard. So that way you know when they're going to be a good avocado or not. Very much like sour. You know, I got distracted for one second. This is what happens when I leave you two alone. I come back. We're talking about avocados. Well, they're very similar to the Sour Patch Kids. You have to You have to squeeze them before you buy them. Do you squeeze your avocados before you buy them? 100%. All right. Yeah. So, there you go. You agree? I agree. You mock, but you agree. I mock and agree. You're no better than a crow. Somebody wrote, "Peps and circus peanuts are nothing alike." And I have to agree. If anybody can please describe the circus peanut to me, it's it's hard but chewy. I It's weird. Hi Judy and EJ. Best candy ever for me according to our ab chat is a chunky bar. Yeah, that person ought to be ashamed. They got raisins in them. No, not all. Some chunkies are just chunks. Not all chunkies are created equal. No. No. Um, let me see. Circus Circus Peanuts is a gelatin made from pork skin. Oh, we got a break. Oh my gosh. We'll be back about with your candy stories right after this. It's Judy and EJ on New Jersey 101.5. [music] Yeah. Give us a call 1800 283101.5. Check in on the app chat. We're talking about one of our favorite topics and that's candy. [music] Who doesn't love candy? I happen to be partial to the chocolate candy like those of Eminem Mars based right here in Hacketttown, New Jersey. Eminem is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. Judy I don't think I knew that. But I did know that they're trying to move into natural flavors of M& no natural colors of M&M. And I get [clears throat] it cuz most people are really just, you know, they're avoiding these sort of dyes, these unnatural artificial dyes. I don't know why I'm a big fan of dyes and plastic. So, I feel like I like I don't mind plastic either, obviously, because I've eaten this year seven credit cards worth of plastic. That's what they told me. It does make you feel a little more valuable. Yeah. Yeah. But then you feel like you owe something to yourself. [laughter] So stupid. We're saying this because people say if you use the Curig machine that you're drinking plastic up to seven credit cards worth per year. And I'm like, "Well, then I guess I like the taste of credit cards." I guess. Leave me alone. Like I said, I was raised on plastic. My dad was a plastics executive his whole life. So I, you know, I can't I can't diss plastic. Hold on. But did he work with the plastic? Well, he started like when he got out of the army, he did a couple of different He was a milkman and he worked at Sears, but then he got a job at Wheaten Plastics in Maze Landing and he was like on a factory worker and he worked his way up uh from factory worker to the director of quality assurance. But maybe that's why he died young cuz he worked with plastics. He also smoked a couple of packs a day. All right. I don't count I don't count that. [laughter] Okay. Why have they They've said that's bad. Now you're going to tell me that's bad. Well, there's a little tiny print on the side of the thing. It says it may cause issues. Oh, give me a break. They'll say anything causes cancer. All right, let's go to Brian and Clinton. Oh, I know people who eat these. Talk to me. Fantastic. No, I don't like them. Oh, they're they're they're these fruit fl fruit fruit shaped candies and they're so sweet. They're awesome. Yeah, I've seen these. I never had them. But they kind of taste like sweet tarts, which I'm not a fan of either. Oh, that was my second guess. Yeah, I'm not I again, leave me out of the fruit flavored candy. just does not turn me on in any way, shape, or form. Hard, soft, lollipops, taffy. I'm not I like caramel or nougat. Okay. I like chewy. Brian, I love you though. Thanks for calling. Twix. Yeah, I like a Twix. Okay. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Good to hear you. You too. Yeah. Speaking of smoking, did you know I don't think they make these anymore, but candy cigarettes? Do you remember those? Of course. Yeah. Not only candy cigarettes, but the bubblegum cigarettes were the best because they blew out smoke. Oh, and there was the bubble gum cigars, too. They were a little bigger and thicker, but I'm sure they don't make anything like that that promote smoking anymore. I mean, that's got to be something from the past, right? Yeah. That upsets me, too, because it was so much fun to smoke when I was like five. Yeah. Cuz I saw my parents doing it, right? So, obviously, it was like the a cool thing, a fun thing to do. Well, it was looked at as a cool thing in the 50s and the 60s. And again, going back to one of our favorite shows, Mad Men sort of made smoking popular again. I was I was buying Lucky Strikes. Oh man. And and smoking them while I drank my VO. I just told my husband, I said, "When we go on vacation this summer, I'm smoking the whole time." He's like, "I don't care what you do." I was like, "Oh, I thought you'd say no, so forget it. I only I only wanted to do it if it was going to be a rebellious act." You know the those candy cigarettes, they kind of had a peppermint taste to them and the and the end was red like it was lit on fire. Yes. Yes. Yes. It was red. That's so funny. I forgot about that. 1 800283101.5 is our phone number. Um we're talking about candy since M&M seems like they're going to maybe move into some sort of natural colorings which are not going to be as vibrant. Um they're just they just can't be. They're going to be made out of real I don't know, real fruits, I guess. I don't know. But I hate when they just mess with something that is such a classic. Nicole's in Cherry Hill. She's going to talk about the chocolate we mentioned. How you doing? Hi. I'm good. How are you? Hey, Nicole. Good. Oh my god. Um, Buenos are like my favorite chocolate ever. They have like it's like a hard wafer covered in chocolate and in the inside it's like this like creamy. It's not caramel, but it's like this like creamy like it's just cream that's like really good. And they have a like a ice cream, too, and everything. Mhm. It's so so so good. What is it called? Oh, they're Bueno bars. Buenos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've heard of it. I even see it all the time. Um, it looks like the same company that makes Kinder Yeah, it's Kinder Bueno. Yes. It's delicious. It's like the the Kinder They have these like Kinder eggs that's like the chocolate but you mix it all together and then like they have like the like hard wafer ones. Oh, yum. So good. Listen, I actually might try this even though it's not normally what I go for. As long as it's not good. Yeah. Okay, I will. Cuz as long as it's not like a fruit flavored thing. No. No. No. It's not. Yeah. All right. I love this Nicole. Thank you. Although I will make an exception about the fruit thing, and you guys are going to definitely disagree with me because nobody likes this but me. But have you ever had a chocolate orange? What? Okay. It's it's it looks orange shaped, but it's really just chocolate, but it has it it it breaks into sections like an orange. I've never seen that. And it tastes like it has like an orange flavored chocolate flavored chocolate. Oh my god. So I started taking clementine, dehydrating them in the oven. Oh, and then dipping them in chocolate. Chocolate. How creative. It is so delicious. Why are you laughing at me? I just going above and beyond for your chocolate orange that like for company and stuff. It looks really fancy, but it's delicious. Pam is in Chadzsworth, beautiful Chadzsworth, and she was a big smoker of candy cigarettes, right? Hey, Pam. Hi, guys. How are you today? Pam, do you live in Chadzsworth? [clears throat] I do. So, is the hot dog place open? Yes. Um, what's only open, I think, on the weekends? Hot Diggity Dog. Hot Dgity Dog. Yeah. Okay. Oh, she's only open on weekends. I didn't know that. I think so. I mean, maybe in the heart of the summer she might be all week, but in the beginning it's usually only the weekends for the shore traffic and stuff, you know. Oh, that's that's so cool, though. For those of you who don't know, I mean, it's such a Jersey thing. Um, this hot dog cart is like famous in Chadzsworth. Um, and people it is come from miles around to go there. So, Pam, tell us about your smoking habit. Well, I was just thinking when EJ was talking about I don't know if you can get them candy cigarettes anymore. Well, I just happened to be on the boardwalk a couple weeks ago and in one of those stores on the boardwalk in Ocean City, they sold they were selling them and and and I bought them for a joke for my son. So, they you still can get them. They have a lot of retro candy in there. That's pretty cool. I got to stop at that store. Yeah, they have all they have like the fudge and all kinds of candy and stuff. I can't recall the name of it, but you know, I got to load up when I'm down there whenever I hit that Ocean City boardwalk. I've got to get the Johnson's popcorn. I've got got to get the steals fudge. And now I got to get the candy cigarettes. [laughter] Yep. There you go. That's funny. And by the way, I was just going to tell you my favorite candy. I'm not a big sweet person, but all through my life, I do like a good Almond Joy. [laughter] I have to tell you, Almond Joys are so uh polarizing. You could either love an Almond Joy or go, "Who the hell thought of this?" I hated them as a kid. I love them now. Same. It's almonds and coconut, right? Basically, and chocolate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, and by the way, we got to take Mounds out of that question, though, because Mounds is not half as good as Almond Joy. Yeah. No, no. No nut. I know. Pam, thank you so much. We so appreciate the call to New Jersey 101.5. I'm just laughing because I'm joy. When we were young, if anybody brought it near us, we would scream like it was the most disgusting thought. And now, do you remember the jingle? Do you remember the jingle? Sometimes you feel like, sometimes you don't. Almond and Joyy's got nuts. Mounds don't. [laughter] And Joy's got move on. No, I thought you were going to play. Remember when is the lowest form? Move on. Okay. Because sometimes you'll feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't. Remember when is the lowest form of conversation. 12:48. We're talking the candies you love and the candies you don't love so much. Uh those phone calls are coming up. Can't wait to hear from you. 1800283101.549. Here's Fast Track Judy and EJ [music] show and you know the number. 1800 283101.5. Check it on the ad chat. The topic for discussion this hour is candy. That's it. It's candy. We're talking about candy. Let's go to Beverly in Princeton. Hey Beverly, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. How are you? Good. When Twix came out, they came out with another candy bar. It was called a Summit bar. It was a wafer with peanuts. Chopped peanuts on the top and then all covered in chocolate. Does not sound familiar to me. I'm probably too young to have heard of it. [laughter] Oh, stop. Never heard of it. Really? I mean, there have been bars that have come in and gone out. Yeah. I think they were trying to see what was better, the the Twix bar or the Summit bar. But I prefer the Summit over the Twix. Oh, but the but the Twix took control. Yep. Yeah. Like like Beta versus VHS. Exactly. Yeah. Somebody must know what I'm talking about. We have two things similar and the one takes over and the other one doesn't do well. Well, you your husband used to work in video. The VHS was the video format that took control that everybody had. Beta remember when it's the lowest format. Beta was smaller and it seemed to make more sense, but that that's not what took off. In this case, the Twix took off and the summit didn't. I don't know what you're talking about, Beverly. I apologize. This is why you don't have this show. This is why I've been kicked off the show. Yes, I [laughter] know. So, I'm making sense to somebody. There's at least one person out there right now that can see the correl. I like to draw comparisons between things. You know that, Julie? I doubt it. Nobody's as old as you are. Give me No, it's not true. I'm very young. Um, let's let's go on to Sean in Euing because he says we can find all of that kind of old candy at Five Below. But Sean, I bet you can't find the cigarettes, can you? Well, yeah, you can find the cigarettes. Oh, by the way, how's everybody doing today? Everybody is doing very well. That's awesome. Um, you can find them at Five Below, but if you really really want to find the old c like the Charleston shoes and candies from back in the 50s and 60s and 70s, there's a place in Columbus Farmers Market that carries every single candy you can ever find that you've ever had. Even the cigarettes? Yeah. Oh, tons of Five Below has the cigarettes. See, I would cigarettes with a little EJ. Isn't that funny? Like EJ and I both assume that like it was way too politically incorrect for even for people to even make I love that they're still out there. Me too. I got to go to Five Below. Five Below. Yep. I actually go over there. You'll find them. I'm going to In fact, I have a gift certificate. I got to get over there to Five Below. I love that store. What are you showing me, EJ? Well, that I thought that guy sounded like Peter Griffin. Now, who did [laughter] the caller? Yeah, the the quasi. That's not funny. Lowish. [gasps] you. I think you do it very well, but Oh, you talking about me? Yeah, but sometimes it's a cross between Peter Griffin and like somebody else. Yeah, it's not always good. Pretend like you're a caller and you're calling about your Hey, what's going on guys? Hey, Peter. How you doing? I like the candy. Kit Kat. Yeah, it's good. [laughter] What do you like? I've eaten too many of them. What do you like about the Kit Kat? Yeah, the wafer. What about the summit? Nah, I wasn't around for that. Did you have beta or VHS? Uh, neither. [laughter] Vivian, can we go to somebody who actually wants to make sense? Sure. Vivian and Elizabeth, what are you here to say? Hi. Um, as for chocolate, I I love chocolate. I'm an addict. That's why I'm fluffy still in the summer. Um, the Kit Kats that are made in Europe, they're not made by Hershey. They're made by Nestle. Yes. They gave them to us on the flight yesterday. Nice. Night and day. No. No. Biscoff. No. What did you say, Vivian? I said it's night and day. It's like getting the American Kit Kats is like buying chocolate at a dollar store. Yeah. And Vivian, I don't know the last time that you had the Nestle one, but they're they're way longer than the ones that they have here. Yeah. They're they're you're getting way more bang for your buck. Oh, yeah. Worth like $3 for every pack that I buy off of uh Amazon. regular. Are you getting gas? I'm getting gas at the same time as we're [laughter] talking. [snorts] Yeah. So, yeah, definitely you get more bang for your buck. Worth every dollar. If somebody goes to Europe and they ask you bring what you want me to bring you back, I always tell them chocolate. All right, beautiful. Thanks, Vinnie. Thank you. Great talking to you guys. We got a break already. One o'clock. What are you doing? Yeah, I know. Jud and EJ with Kyle. More coming up next. [music] The Met Parks [music] online casino and sportsbook app New Jersey chime time is 1:10. You interrupted [music] the song. We were just listening to the song. We would have gotten Somebody needed to say it. We would have gotten to [music] it eventually. Oh, I don't know. What do we have? Kind of felt bad. Um, has anybody ever has anybody ever borrowed anything from you and didn't return it, including money? [music] Yeah. Okay. Also, have you ever borrowed from anybody and not returned it, including money? No. Uh, I would never do that. Yeah, I think I borrowed just about every everything I borrowed, I brought back. Well, that's not the case, you guys. Other way around. Lent money, never got it back. You don't I'm not lending money to anybody anymore. Well, I will tell you, as my dad always used to say, it's very easy to borrow, but it's very hard to pay back. Yeah. So, the phone number is 1800 283101.5. Does anybody owe you money or owe you belongings that you lent out? Um, or they ruined they borrowed something from you and ruined it in some way, shape, or form. That happens a lot too right here in New Jersey. So, tell us what does somebody owe you, whether it's money or an item or an object. Um, they lost it, they broke it, or they just never returned it. 1 800283101.5. And then what do you do? So here's the problem. Like Mark has this motorcycle. Um it's you can't really call it a scooter, you know? It's the one with the two wheels in the front and one in the back. The Pagio. Yeah. Um goes up to 55 miles an hour. So you can't really call it's a it's a motorcycle. A slow motorcycle. Okay. Somebody borrowed it. Um, and I don't know why he allowed this person to borrow, but anyway, the person fell over on it and did a lot of damage to it and said, "I'm going to pay for it." And Mark accepted the payment. But sometimes, because I think the person who the the person had the money at the time, and I guess Mark didn't. Um, but I think it were the other way around, he would have said, "Don't worry about it, you know, or I'll put it through insurance, whatever." But if somebody borrows something for you, let's say it's just a sweater or a sweatshirt and they go, "Oh my god, it ripped. Oh my god, I lost it. Oh my god, it got stolen." You're not going to be like, "Okay, buy me a new one." Right? No. But what if it's something that you really really treasure? Sometimes people just don't give things back and you just have to cut your losses. I mean, you know, you you they they use it. They must forget. you feel awkward about asking them about it. So then you just buy yourself a new thing that you you let out that you never got back because you want to avoid the awkwardness. I think that's what happens. You think I think [laughter] I think we lost I think we lost Judy. I was waiting to see if she was going to say something cuz our screen went dark over here, but I think she may be completely gone. May have had a Wi-Fi issue. Yeah, I I lost you, too. Oh, yeah. Maybe the people out can't hear us either. I don't know. Let us know on the app if you can hear us. Anyway, my dad had a lot of tools, you know what I mean? And and he had like a whole shed of tools and we had this across the street neighbor who was a woodworker, but you think if you were a woodworker, you would have all the tools in the world, right? This guy was always asking my dad for tools all the time. And guy would take the tool and use it. And weeks would go by, he wouldn't get it back. Then he'd come over. My dad thinks this guy's coming back over to return the tool. He's asking for a new tool in hand. He wants another tool. That's crazy. So he takes that tool. And then another couple of weeks ago, the guy's walking back down the street. Oh, maybe he's got both my tools. He wants to borrow a third tool. And my dad was a really nice guy. He never asked for, you know, the tools back. And did he ever get them back? I don't know. My dad might have died without getting the tools st because I'm the same way where I'm nice to a fault and you don't want to create that tension and that awkwardness especially if it's somebody who's a neighbor or who lives down the street but you have to stand up for yourself. You people are going to take advantage of that. It's sad and you don't want to think like that that people will operate that way but they do. He grew to dread every time that he would see that guy walking down the street and the guy was a really nice guy and he would come over and they would have chatty conversations and really nice guy but he never brought my dad's tools back. Yeah. The guy was a mooch. Yeah, he was a mooch. And then my dad gets sick and passes away and now he's dead. So, I don't know where those tools ended up. They probably were passed down to the next generation. Apparently, we're having an internet issue here at the radio station. Ah, all right. Yeah, there's some sort of issues going on, but the phones work. And Adrian from Asbury Park, we were just there on Friday, Kyle. Hi, Adrienne. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. Yeah, I like supposedly at the time, a good friend. I'd known her since the early 90s. Um, this was about I guess maybe two or three years ago now. Um, she was closing on a property and didn't have all the money and begged me to borrow the money. um she knew I had some life insurance savings for my husband who had passed away and um he would give it right back to me as soon as she you know sold her other property and had to take her to court to get the money back. Yikes. Yeah. So far she's paid me back $5,000 at $200 a month. Oh my gosh. Still has 5,000 to go. um still owns a house in Brooktown and still owns a house in Bayhead, the one she's living in, the one that she was closing on. So, she seems to be doing fine. She's just being really slow about getting you your money back. Yeah. Yeah. I learned a long time ago not to loan money to anybody for whatever reason. Well, I know that's the first time, well, I shouldn't say it's the first time, but the first time I ever lend someone that large amount of money. Yeah. And if they need that kind of money, they're always going to need money. and and you're always going to be chasing them down. That's no fun. Yeah. So, yeah. Nope. Lesson learned. Yeah. All right, Adrian. Thanks. Good to hear from you on New Jersey 101.5. I mean, that goes to I wouldn't want to do business with anybody I'm friends with. I certainly wouldn't want to loan them any money. Then it becomes you're doing deals or business with your friends. They're more like your partner in something more than they are your friend. And that just gets hairy. I mean, if my friend ever needed money for whatever reason, right, you obviously want to help them out. But if it's something little and something that they don't necessarily need, but they want to borrow from you, they say they'll pay you back. I don't trust anybody. I don't. And it's even more awkward with a relative. You know, I had a relative that got into a tight spot, needed some money, gave that relative some money, uh, never made an attempt to pay any of it back, and then started avoiding my phone calls where those phone calls had nothing to do with the money. I mean, had nothing to do whatsoever with the money. and and um yeah so it just it caused a situation between the two of us. It makes a rift because do you want to be the person who lays down the law to your friend or family member and you have to you know you lose that relationship with them to a degree and now it's become like boss and employee almost of like you need to do this for me because I did this for you and I need this back and you just that relationship gets awkward and nobody it's it's more awkward I think for the person who's actually giving the money cuz if someone's dodging you they obviously don't care they either don't care about the relationship enough or they don't care about the fact that they haven't paid you It does show a true lack of caring. It's not a two-way relationship. So, we're talking about the one thing that you refuse to lend out. A new survey found that many people would rather lend money than uh lend they would they would rather lend money than lend certain personal items in this survey because they've had too many bad experiences getting them back. So, with a lot of people, it's more than just the money. It's about items. So, what's the one thing that you refuse to lend out to anyone? And what happened that made you draw the line? Are you on team share everything or team uh if you want it get your own? We're taking your calls right now and your app chats 1800 283101.5. Uh Judy is here with us today. However, we've lost connection with her studio, so she'll hopefully be back in a few minutes. Uh and we'll continue with your calls coming up. 1800 283101.518. Here's New Jersey faster. Talking about the stuff only deals with. [music] Back to Judy and EJ with Kyle on New Jersey 1012.5. 1 800 [music] 283101.5. What's the one thing you refuse to lend out? A new survey found that many people would actually rather lend money than certain personal items because they've had too many bad experiences getting them back like my dad with his tools. 1800 283 101.5. Now we turn our attention to over 100year technology and the telephone where we find Judy Franco. Yeah. Boy, I tell you what, uh, thank God for this phone, right? Yeah. Well, the internet, we've lost all our internet services here at the station. So, it's really interesting though because it's like, what year is it? Like 2026 or something. Yeah. So, it's kind of hard to believe that 2026, we got to go back to like 1901 for this phone thing. You know, it's funny. I mean, even when we had Sandy back in 2012, we lost internet here at the station. And for many, it was the end of the world, you know, not to have internet. We And that was a long time ago. We've gotten just it's it's it's as common as electricity itself. Yeah. It's really pretty amazing. But I'll tell you what, um, I don't know how this sounds on the air, but you guys sound amazing. Yeah, you just sound like you're on the phone. You sound like a caller. Judy, let's let's let's pretend you are a caller. Uh, Judy from New Jersey. You're on New Jersey 101.5. First time caller, longtime listener. Love your show. Oh, great to hear from you, Judy. When is the other guy coming back? Because I really don't I like the new guy. He's nice, but when is the other guy coming back? The other guy is nice but not funny. Uh Dennis Mallaloy, that's who you're thinking of. The other guy, he spent about 30 years working here. Uh very funny. Well, I thought maybe I would read you a couple of chat messages, but since Kyle has it in front of him, um not on his phone. No, no chat. I can't access anything. Okay, but you have what you had before. No, no, it's it's completely crept out. I can't be reached. It's It's like It's like 1999. There's no internet. There's no app chat. There's no texting. The only the only way people can reach us right now is through the phone. Okay, beautiful. You guys better call us because you're making the show. You callers 1 800 283101.5 because we're partying like it's 1999 which means no internet. Um so Double D writes in on the app chat. Hi guys, I am on team do not let any neighbor borrow anything as they try to keep my shop back vacuum and it was very frustrating. So now guys, I never realized this, but are when people don't return stuff they borrow, are they trying to keep it? I don't know. Maybe they just have a lot on their mind. We we lent something to our son. You ever see these tree trimmers? They're they're telescoping. you kind of loosen them up and it's got a saw in the end and if you want to trim a dead branch down, right? So, we lent that to to our son about 2 or 3 months ago and we kind of had to bug him to get it back. I got it back on Father's Day, but we had to bug him to get it back. But, I just think they're busy. They're just busy people, right? They're they're doing things. They're not thinking. You know, it's like we were out there on Mother's Day. We all forgot to get the damn tree trimmer back. I think that kids are different because they kind of feel like they own what you own also. They're not going to lose sleep overnight when they borrow something from you. You know, you know this I I really do think it is just forgetting now that I think about it. I played golf with my buddy. This is going back in about October. And he had a notebook that he brought with him that day that he left in my car. That was in October. We knew he left the notebook in my car. I wasn't trying to keep it. I didn't want it. I kept saying, "I need to give this back to you." We saw each other 50 times between October and March. Every time we would say before we met, I'm going to give you this notebook back. every time we would forget, right? And I never I finally gave it back to him like three weeks ago. But yeah, I mean, you just forget. Okay, wait. I'm reading some news incoming. Kyle, I talked to Tom. He said there must be an outage. I guess we just have to wait it out. Okay, I guess that's the case. Interesting. I love this. Let's go to Bob. We do have a phone. And Bob has a really bad experience loaning something to his brother-in-law. Bob in Burlington. Hi. Welcome to the show, Bob. Hi. Thank you. Nice nice to hear you. I'm looking forward to hearing Dennis again, too. Thank you. Me, too. Yeah. Um, so I I loaned my uh brother-in-law years ago a wallpaper steamer to, of course, to remove wallpaper. And it took a while to get it back. Unfortunately, when he brought it back, he brought back my broken wallpaper steamer that he broke and another wallpaper steamer that he broke. So, I got back two broken wallpaper steamers. I got to tell you, I don't even know that those things work. Are they good at it? Are they good at removing paper? It worked for me. Yeah, it worked. It worked for me, unfortunately. [laughter] Yeah. I never got to use it again. But uh how how um how expensive are those, Bob? You know, this happened like back in the 80s. Then it was like 35 bucks or something like that. Okay, so time to go buy a new one. What are you going to do? Yeah. Or now I just pay people to do it. Yeah, that's a better idea. Bob, I got to let you go because we're up against the clock. That means the news. But it's Judy and EJ and Kyle. We'll all be back right after the news. Stay with us. Jersey 101.5. Back to Judy and EJ. Hit us [music] up on the app chat or call us now. 1 8002831015. [music] 1 800283101.5. [music] Ah, what would you not lend out? Did you lend something out? You never got it back. That's terrible. 1800 283101.5. How you doing, Judy? I'm doing good. I'm just lucky [music] enough to have the app chat when you guys don't. Yeah. Somebody I just got back in my car. Why does Judy sound like she's broadcasting on a 1940s radio? You're in the bunker. Judy's in the bunker. FDR fireside chats. Somebody I was expecting to hear the sound of Morse code in the background of the news report and then Matt in Tom's River wrote Judy reporting live from the underground bunker. Yep. You have experience in the bunker? Yes, I do. I even have a tape uh cassette tape from that. Um Annie and Manisquan wrote on our app chat, "I never ever lend something out that was sentimental to me. In addition, I had a friend that had every tool imaginable. He would always say, "Yes, sure you can borrow that tool, but it's a bonus. I come along with it." Ah, that's that's like really what you have to do. Like just make sure you're with it. 1 800283101.5 is our phone number. Really counting on you to call in today because I mean, we do have our app chat, but only on my side. Yeah, guys, we finally found the one benefit of me being home. Yeah, the listeners uh should know that we lost our internet service here at the station and we're so dependent on the internet for every little thing. Yeah, it's crazy. What else is on that good old app, chat? Anything else? Let's uh We got We got nothing over I can't see it over here. Well, somebody wrote and I don't know what this has to do with anything, but hi Judy EJ Kyle. Maybe you guys will mention to me what the heck they're this guy's talking about. Just got notification. Recall plastic parts in Morning Star Farms. You mentioned years ago Morning Star. Just wanted you guys to know. Can you explain what they're talking about? No. No. And I can't look it up [laughter] cuz I had no Well, I know cuz I have Morning Star Farms. I eat their like veggie burgers. I like They have sausage links. It's all like vegetable. Yeah. No, I've seen their stuff. Um, so I guess somebody everybody should Google it because I have no idea which plastic parts in which products they're talking about. Um, so I can't I can't help you with that, but I guess you should Google it. 1 800283101.5 is our phone number. I am reporting live from an underground bunker here at New Jersey 101.5. Um, actually, no, that's not it at all. We're having internet issues and so I'm calling in on the phone the oldfashioned way which is why we're asking you to call in the oldfashioned way uh on our phones. Well, let me ask you this, Judy. You have uh Well, first let me give the topic. All right. I was going to ask you about the topic, but go ahead. Oh. Oh, okay. So, we're asking, did you ever borrow from anybody and not return it? Well, more importantly, has anybody ever borrowed anything from you that they did not return? whether it was money or an item. Yeah. And to that end, Judy, I wanted to ask you about clothing. Like between your daughters or your sisters, have you guys ever borrowed clothing from each other? And was there an ever an issue in getting it back? So, my daughter um the one that lives with me has never returned anything. So, she moved in for the summer. Yes. She said, "Ma, I didn't bring my I'm not opening my boxes yet. Can I borrow your iPhone charger?" Sure, no problem. All of a sudden, today I'm like, "Let me charge my phone in my office. Where's my charger?" And I realized she never returned it, which of course I should know because even when I give her stuff now, I go, "And please make sure and return it." And she doesn't. Um, but also I'll like go into her house and I'll see like some like serving platter and I'm like, "Wait, this is mine. How'd it get here?" She goes, "Oh yeah, I borrowed it." Sometimes she borrows stuff and doesn't even ask. She just takes. Yeah. You know that happens to me too, Judy. I go to my son's house or whatever and I'm thinking, "Wait a minute. That's my that's my blanket I got from Cancun. How'd it end up with you?" [laughter] It's very common, I think, for adult kids. Now, I don't know when cuz Kyle is probably recently moved out, more recently than our kids, right? Mhm. So, I'd like to ask him, Kyle, do you ever take anything from your parents house? Not that I wouldn't return. Uh, I don't think I have anything from their house now. Maybe something they gifted me, but I can't even think of that, honestly. I think everything that I have is something that's been bought. And oh god, you guys, my house, when my first when my kids first got married and moved out, my house was their grocery store. Yeah. They'd come into my pantry and be like, "Oh, I need tomato paste. Can I take these two cans?" Okay. And and then one day I was like, "Hello, there's a grocery store down the street. Get in your car and go get it. Why are you taking mine?" Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't take anything like that, Judy. Like, if they have a drink in their fridge that for some, I don't know, an iced tea that I don't have. Maybe I'll take one of those, but anything, you know, tomato paste my mom may need for dinner. I don't want her to then come home one day and try and have tomato paste for the pasta and not have it. So, I I don't take anything that would be an inconvenience. Well, maybe you are a much more considerate and less bratty child than mine are, Kyle. Is that what you're trying to say? Maybe. [laughter] Peter Griffin all of a sudden a huge part of the show. I enjoy it. It's very fun. Okay. 1800283101.5 is our phone number. We have an answer, guys. All right. To the whole Morning Star Farms thing. Okay. Number one, um, hi Judy. You mentioned you ate Morning Star Farms. I honestly don't remember mentioning it. He said, "I tried that years ago. It's a good product. I just wanted to let you know about the recall that I just saw." Somebody else said their chicken nuggets were recalled. But again, you guys Google that yourself because this is I'm just hearing this from the app chat. And CD in Tom's River said, "Were you not talking about eating plastic?" So it may have come from my comment about eating plastic. credit cards and coffee, right? Because I drink apparently if you're drinking from a curig, you're drinking seven credit cards worth of plastic every year. That's what the health nuts say. But I'll keep doing it. Um, just on 1800 Go ahead. Sorry. I was just going to give the phone number in case people want to call in. We're uh kicking it old school today with phones only. No. Well, you can have cat in to me actually, but please call in 1 800283101.5. By the way, Susan Hilltown because of our last hour with the KitKats. Just so you know, she's she and like a couple other people are saying, European Kit Kats are amazing. I can't even eat the American burger. I got to try them. I I had them yesterday on the flight. I They were really big and delicious. And are they called Kit Kats? Yes, they so they gave it to us and I looked at it kind and granted it was at the end of the flight so I'm already delirious and I I was like am I seeing this right? Is this a Kit Kat? And I it was Nestle. It was a different brand and I opened it and it said KitKat on it and they were fantastic. Better than the one Better than the ones that you would get here and again more bang for your buck. Those things are big and they give you four, not two. Oh, you know, I feel that way about the uh an item that you could get in the United States, but the foreign version of it like the Coke, the Mexican Cokes. I like the Mexican Cokes because they just have regular sugar in them. It's better. It's It's better. Yeah. I mean, the sodas over there is the same is the same deal. They don't have whatever the high fructose corn syrup and stuff that they use over here. Pure cane sugar. So, it's a little bit different and it tastes better. It's kind of organic in a way. Yeah. No, as as Yeah. It's as organic as sugar can be, right? Sugar is organic. Yeah. Oh, don't do Do you ever have Did you ever have the Mexican Cokes? They're pretty good. Um, and they come in that big thick bottle like when we were kids. You're saying because it's made out of like corn? No, no, it's made out of No high fructose corn syrup. It's sugar. Right. Right. So, so yeah. Yeah, I've had that. Um, and it does I I don't really like Coke, but you can definitely tell the difference. And um Scott Clearwater in a very nasty manner, I might add, cuz thank goodness only 15 minutes more of this third world radio setup. You know what? He should go to radio stations that are more modern than ours. Um calling all stations shift to shore. This is New Jersey 101.5 broadcasting from the bunker in Euing Township, New Jersey. I think he loves God. [laughter] It does. It does sound like those old tapes of radio with Judy on the phone. Yes, it does. Oh god, so funny. Dennis does a great one. Those um news reels. Yes. They all talk that funny uh that mid what do they call that? The uh mid-Atlantic accent, right? You don't Yeah, they didn't say New York, they said New York. Is ready to Don and Brick is ready to talk, but we got to take a quick break. Don, stay with us and we will break uh for traffic right now at 1:48. Here's New Jersey Fast. New Jersey 101.5, the [music] Judy and EJ show with me, Eric Johnson, Judy Franco, Kyle Forcini, and you can join us as well, too. [music] Another couple of minutes left talking about things that you've lent out and maybe never got back. Borrowing 18002831.5. [music] [music] Hello. Am I on my speaker? Oh, here I am. Wait, now can you hear me? So, apparently Dawn in Brick had somebody borrow something from her and never returned it. Hi, Don. Hi. Can you hear me? Okay, now Judy went away. I know. But we got you, Don. Yeah. Okay. Um, so I have been out of high school for many, many years, but I will never forget that my freshman year in high school. Uh, a girl in my class borrowed my yearbook because she wanted to she didn't purchase one and I don't know, she wanted to look at it and I never got it back. Oh man. Wait, you still don't have it? You never ever ever got it back? Never ever got it back. She she was making excuses and and then I think at one point she said, you know, they moved and she doesn't know what happened to it or she just kept it or lost it or what, but um you know, I was kind of bummed. You know, sometimes you can find odd things like online, like you know, sometimes people I don't know why they do this, but you can find like yearbooks online and there's a you can find old if you keep searching. I maybe it's out there, Don. Oh, okay. I don't know. I I I have heard of this. I have signatures. Yeah. No, no, you won't. Well, you can't replace those signatures. I mean, they're lost forever if you don't get that yearbook back. But but sometimes people get rid of their yearbooks and they sell them. And there's there's a site out there and maybe you'll get lucky and I don't know what the site is, but I know it's out there that has old yearbooks. Oh, that's interesting. I'll look into that. Okay, good to hear from you, Don. Thanks for calling New Jersey 101.5. Judy's back. I had no idea that. Is that really true? I never heard of that. Yes, I someone lost a yearbook that I knew and they kept searching online and there's some store out there that has old yearbooks. I don't know if there were ones that that they didn't distribute or ones that people sold off, but I have heard of people going online and finding their high school yearbook. That's so cool. Like, I was just thinking I should like put my high school yearbook up on eBay to see if anybody wants it. I don't want it. I still have my high school ring. I don't wear it, but I still have it. That's so funny. The Justins, [laughter] right? There were two companies, though. Oh, I only knew the one. Hold on. I got to look at this. Did you ever high have a high school ring? No, I was just thinking of that when you said it. I think you had to pay for it and so we had to pay for it and I did it and I even had like a little inscription put inside with my initials and everything. Me too. Oh, did you really? And I still have it. You know, I do you I have like a little box that has all this random stuff on it that that in it that I've had like since like, you know, high school or when I was in a young adult in my 80s. It's just like just it's just a drawer in my bedroom and and I just never got rid of the stuff and I still have it but I don't use it. I like I have I have a bank card from some bank in Jackson from 1981. That's that's a cool relic though. You know they're they're still I'm sorry. I was going to say we actually had eighth grade graduation rings too, but the company was called ArtCarved. Do you remember? I do. That does sound familiar to me. Art carved. Yes. things you haven't thought of in many, many years. I interrupted you, Kyle. What were you going to say? I'm sure it wasn't that important, but still. No. Yeah. No, nothing important at all. I was just going to say that EJ the class ring was cool and the relics and stuff that he has in his drawer are cool. Something that you don't want to throw away. And the class ring I It will never fit again, you know, cuz how much did I weigh in when I graduated high school? 150 lbs, right? But I still have it. Hard to part with. Nobody Nobody's going to want it. You just You're just kind of stuck with it forever. You just have stuff and it just sits in a drawer for no reason. It's like the stuff in my basement. I have all my kids artwork from kindergarten through 12th grade. Until you lend it to the guy across the street. Why do I still have it? What's that? I said until you lend it to the guy across [laughter] it. Yeah, I wouldn't lend that out either for some reason. I just let it sit in the Tupperware in the basement. Uh, really quickly guys, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Phone thing is weird. Um, EJ says somebody from the Palm Coast, I'm assuming that's Florida. If you think Mexican Coke is good, you should try Colombian Coke. Lol. That's funny. And also, you guys, a lot of people loving your beeges.
