Chime time. It is coming up on 211 on a Monday. Who would have thought hell would really exist and that it would be in New Jersey? Screaming at people at gas stations is a New Jersey tradition. From Caucus, New Jersey. It's everybody's favorite game show. Oh, there's nothing in the world like action. The North calls this a sub, while the South calls it a hogy. The north calls this Taylor ham and the south calls it pork roll. Hey, you talking about Jersey? Me and my friends are from Jersey. Oh crap, there's more of them. Hey, come on. There's people from Jersey all over. Who here is from Jersey? Party. [Music] I can't forget you. Walking home every day of the raing days cuz down the shore everything's all around. The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon. Spend their weekend on the Jersey shore. [Music] What do you hear? What do you say? Live from New Jersey, it's Dominsky and More on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. Hello. Hello. Good afternoon. We are Jeff and Kylie. I'm Jeff Deinsky. I'm Kylie Moore. And uh uh a couple of things. Something that you heard in that uh little New Jersey love letter montage that we play, right? Something that you heard in there. Jersey. Not that, but I'm not going to say what, but it will be the subject of a topic later this afternoon. Something you heard in there will be talked about later this afternoon. Also, the bridge. No. Also, another thing I want to just mention because I cannot I'm I'm only going to say this once. I'm never going to say it again, okay? But we're running this thing for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You know what I'm talking about. The thing about uh the guy what he would do for his kids. I would do anything for my kids. And what he would do for the kid's nose in the middle of the night about sucking something out of his nose. Yeah. Yeah. That's the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if you never caught it, Kylie. And I just I blackout. Yeah, I know. I know. It's like, couldn't we have something other than that? Like, I'm not even going to say it. It's so nasty. I'm not even going to say it. I would rather hear like, you know, yeah, I love my kids so much. Yeah, I take out a I take out a gang member before him. I'd rather that. But we appreciate all of our sponsors. We absolutely do. We absolutely do. But I cannot be the only one that has noticed that. I mean, you noticed it, right? I've gotten emails about it. Okay. So, others are have been noticing it. Mhm. Right. Okay. Yeah. I just just had to say it once. Moving on. All right. So, I did something over the weekend that I know that you have done. I think you've probably done it as often as I've done it easily, which is to say more than once. Oh, yeah. I've definitely done this more than once. And I And I think this is something anybody who has uh driven a car for more than just a couple of years eventually does this and has probably done this more than once. Have you ever been in a situation where you're some way or in a parking lot, whatever, and uh and you're going back to your car, maybe you're distracted, whatever, there is a car that looks exactly like your car, or so you thought, and you go to try to get into it only to realize you're basically breaking into somebody's car. You're trying to get into the wrong car. To whom has this happened and how far did it go? Because I did this over the weekend. You can call it into us at 1800283101.5. A call for this would be better than a chat message on on on the app because like we'd probably have questions, but if you can't call, you could always use the uh app chat feature on the New Jersey 101.5 app. But have you ever tried to get into the wrong car? 1-800 283 101.5. Okay. Spill. I've got my uh It's pretty simple. I'm uh I have a white car. It's an SUV. And uh I I have it parked in a parking lot. I've got my kids with me and uh it's been, you know, 45 minutes, whatever. And I'm just I've got a bag with me. So, I'm holding stuff and I'm and I'm trying to make sure the kids don't run around in the parking lot. Uh so, I've got two kids. This actually two bags. two kids. And so maybe I'm a little distracted from that. And I get up to my car and I my heart sinks because I'm coming up to the right side of the car and the right rear quarter panel right by the back by the tail light. Somebody's hit my car. There's paint missing. There's there's there's two chunks of paint missing and there's scrape marks between the big, you know, like the big two pieces of missing paint. So, it's like kind of like an oval missing paint, bunch of scrape marks, and then another chunk of missing paint. And I'm like, son of a gun, I got hit. And so, I walk up and I start feeling it. The first thing I do is I'm rubbing it to see if it will like just rub out or is that really missing paint? You know, cuz that's happened to me before. No, it wasn't oil. It wasn't tar. It was missing paint. It was scraped, right? So, it it did a paint job on my car. I'm like, "Oh, son of a." And the car is about a year old. It's nothing high-end, but still, you know, I didn't want that to happen. And then I'm thinking, "All right, what do I do? Do I go back inside? Do I get the manager to to like go over the cameras, call the cops, get a police report, all this stuff?" And I'm like, uh, let me just get the kids in the car and think about this cuz I don't know if I want to go all the way back in there cuz they're going to flip if I do. And so I go to just like get them in the car at least to give me a moment to think, you know. So I unlock the car and uh Cooper side, the right side, the door won't open. And I'm yanking on it and I click it again and I'm yanking on it and I'm thinking I'm like sweating for you right now. And I'm thinking, did they hit this car so hard that maybe it screwed up the door lock just enough to make it like jam? You know what I mean? Because it was only like maybe 2 and 1/2 ft behind the door where that lock would be. And so I click it a third time and I'm yanking it. I'm yanking it to the point that like the car is rocking, right? And I look in and I don't see anything of mine. Naria car seat and I realize I'm looking at somebody else's car and I'm trying to get into their car and I'm like, "Oh, don't Yeah. Yeah. And I back up and I'm like, "Uh uh, come here, boys." And of course, you know, I'm the doof, but they don't know it. And I like back up and I look to the left and I realize this white SUV very similar to mine parked right next to where I was parked. So, I had the almost exact spot. I had the general spot right. I was only off by five, six feet and I'm yanking on this other dude's door and I'm scraping at his paint. He has no idea that somebody was touching his car. And thank God they weren't walking upright then cuz I would have been like, "Oh, uh, no. See, I'm not stealing your car. I'm just dumb." Like, how do you explain? Hear me out. I'm an idiot. Yeah. Hear me out. I'm dumb. Hear me out. Right. Exact Exactly. I have a lot to say about how dumb I am. I have countless examples. I will convince you. If you listen from 2 to 7, look at these children. They're a product of one of my dumb decisions. Whoa. No, I will. No, I love them. I just All right. So, anyway, got real. Yeah, I know. But anyway, have you ever been in that position where you're trying to get into the wrong car? 1800 283 101.5. Speaking of cars, it's 219. And here's fast traffic in state job lock. We're always paying New Jersey 101.5. Uh coming up on 224. We're going to have bottom of the hour news in about 6 minutes. And I I'm just really glad the owner didn't catch me. I I I I looked like I was uh probably not stealing a car because I was on the right hand side yanking on the door several times. I probably look like I was trying to do that thing where like you're in the, you know, it's like the holiday shopping season. Somebody's left a bag in the back seat and you're trying to like break in and steal their goods. That's probably what I looked like. But I I I mistook someone else's car from my own. And have you ever been in that situation where you were trying stupidly to get into the wrong car? What finally tipped you off? 1800283 101.5. I was once caught by the owner, but we'll get we'll get there in a bit. Zip it. Robert in Lambertville, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. First time caller, longtime listener. How you guys doing? Oh, welcome, Robert. Happy holidays. Welcome. Great. Happy holidays. So, I'm a contractor and I go to this same lumber yard almost every day. Yeah. And there's a lot Every time I pull up there, there's all these other white trucks. And I come out, I'm thinking about work and I go to the wrong white truck at least twice a month. Oh, no. I could see it though. I mean, yeah, white is such a common uh like contractor color for a truck. Yeah. Yeah. Even Even one time I started putting my lumber in the in the back of the truck and then went to the door and I'm like, "Oh my gosh, my key doesn't fit. This is not my truck." Oh no. All right. Now, so now I park at the same spot every time. Gotcha. Gotcha. Did you ever did you ever full on like maybe the door was unlocked. Did you ever full on get in and start trying your keys in the wrong ignition? No. No. Because once I opened it then I figured out it wasn't my truck. Right. Right. Things left in there or not in there. Yeah. Oh gosh. But yeah, the people who drive away with the car after getting the wrong one. That can happen. Yeah. No, Robert, we've heard the stories. It's crazy. that can happen because it turns out certain keys especially now I don't know about you know modern day key fobs where it's uh you don't have to have a key in the ignition you just like do the push button start but Right. Right. Right. But older cars you would think that if you don't know you might think that like each key is unique to only that car. It's not. They'll make like a thousand keys to say a thousand cars and they're identical and they try to like spread them across the country, but sometimes you end up with an exact key that will fit another dude's say Chevy Trailblazer. It'll just fit and you could drive away in it. It's crazy. The the stress that I have for these people when they get like a mile down the road and they're like, "Hold on. I'm breaking the law right now. I didn't have a coffee cup in my cup holder." Yep. Oh, Robert, don't be a stranger. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Uh we're talking about trying to get into the wrong car. Has it happened to you? Peter in Manchester, you're on New Jersey 101.5. How you doing today, guys? Good. Peter. Thank you. All right. So, uh my wife and I were on vacation uh a few years ago. We pulled into a convenience store. She got out, went into the store. Another car pulled in like two spaces over. Uh I waited a few minutes. She comes back out, kind of like walks past our car, gets in the passenger side of this other car, and I'm watching her and she sits back, relaxed. She must have thought I've gone into the store or something, and I'm just watching her, and she's sitting there, and then she starts looking around the car like noticing that things were different. And then all of a sudden, she's glancing out the driver's side window. She sees me sitting in another car, cracking up, and I'm waving at it, and she looks at me, and then she starts laughing hysterically. And then she jumps out of the car real fast and she comes over. She's like, "I can't believe I got in the wrong car." It was so funny. How long do you I'm sorry, Kylie. Go ahead. Oh, no. You go first. I was just going to say, how long do you think she was sitting in this other car before real she realized? Oh, she had to be in there four or five minutes. No. Yeah. And she was looking she and I could see by her face. She was like, "This does not look like my car. What is What is wrong here? Something's wrong here." and but she couldn't figure out what you know how sometimes you look at something you think something's different but you can't figure out what it was that kind of look on her face you know and that's what she's kind of said to me she said I knew everything looked different but I thought there was something out of place and I wasn't catching it until I saw you in the other car okay see Jeeoff I'm glad that you went first because that clarification emphasizes my point Peter I would be so mad at you I would not have handled this as well as your wife she now she my wife she she's pretty good with that stuff. She She cracks up at stuff. She She You know, some people be, "Oh god, I'm so embarrassed and this that and the other." She's never been one of those people. She If the person got in there and sat in her car, she'd be, you know, like some people like, "Get out of my car." She'd be like, "What are you doing here?" And they'd say, "I'm in my car. What are you doing here?" You know, and then she would just start cracking up and say, "I'm sorry. I got in the wrong car." She's she's so social, so she's really good at all that stuff. I would I would not have talked to you the entire way home. Oh my goodness. Good for her. You were never worried that the You were never worried that the actual owner was going to come back out and get in before you let her know. I was going to I was waiting to see if the guy would come out and go in the car. You were hoping you were hoping you were hoping. That's how we are. You know, I wanted to see what her reaction was going to be. You know, he looked like a decent guy. I didn't think he was going to drive away with her or anything. So, you know, I figured I'd wait and and he he'd get in the car. Good God. Figured it out before he got out. Good god. Imagine imagine if that happened though. Like it's all in good fun. The movie starts out as a comedy and all of a sudden the guy takes off wheels squealing out of the parking lot with your wife in his car. All of a sudden it turns into a horror drama. I don't know. I think Peter has a very specific set of skills. Is it particular set of skills? What is it? I'm talking about the movie Taken. Oh. Oh, I didn't know what you were talking I had no idea what you were saying. The famous speech from the movie Taken. Peter, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. All right, so has it happened to you? I did this over the weekend. I was trying stupidly to get into the wrong car. Thought my car got hit at first. Um, if you didn't catch it, you already know what I'm talking about. We've all been there. Give us a time that this happened to you where you were trying to get into the wrong car. And did you get caught by the owner, too? 1 800 283101.5. It's 2:30 right now. An alarming number of people in New I'll be seeing what they have tomorrow. I'm meeting my dad there. You guys are uh getting the tree. Yep. Hey, get a tree. Got to come over, see the tree. Come over, see the tree. That's right. I love that tree. Yeah. But no, that's our tradition. We're going to go check it out tomorrow. Right now, we are talking about getting into the wrong car because the doofus over here, Jeffrey, did I thought you were going to react more to Jeffrey, but no, it's more of the dough. I appreciate that. Yeah, I deserve to be called a dumb Jeffrey after what I did. I said dope, I think. So, I uh I uh I I was I I was in a parking lot with my kids and uh I swore I thought my car got hit was the first thing. I'm feeling the back quarter panel, all the scrape marks. I'm all poed and then I'm trying to get the kids into the back seat. The door won't open. And long story short, yeah, had the car parked right next to mine that I was trying to violate. Stupid. But thank god nobody actually saw me. Like not even any passers by, like definitely not the owner of the car. That would have been more embarrassing because then if that happens, do you feel compelled that you have to explain yourself? Of course. Oh, your car is white. My car is white. Yours is here. Mine is right there. Well, yeah. You turn into a muppet. That's right. Like they I'm sure they get it, you know, because I think we've all done it. But you swear they're going to think that you're trying to mess with her car. I don't I think there's always going to be that second of speculation like is this person trying to right but but have you done it? 1 800 283 101.5 Tina in Marlboro you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey guys and gals. How are you guys doing this Monday? Hey Tina, we're good. Hope you're doing well. Well, I do have a similar story to share and uh this happened actually just a couple weeks ago. I was Ubering like before the the sun rise and I guess I was still sweeping and I was in Freehold uh doing a bagel pickup. So places that are open nice and early. Grab my order, run back out, very sleepy, very dark out still. Get in what I think is my car and I'm looking around and going, "Oh, lots of computer stuff, lots of like things." I realized I'm in an undercover police car. Oh, this is good. Oh, no. What' you do? Uh, well, what one would do, I snuck out. I looked around. I snuck out. Hopefully not got arrested. And, uh, yeah, ran back to my car, made my delivery. You didn't take any guns? Well, you know, with my luck, I swear it just I would have just ended up in the back. I wouldn't have taken a very long trip to be honest. So, undercover, I realize it's unmarked on the outside, but on the inside, did it have like the cage to separate the back seat like a normal patrol car would or did it not have that? All I saw was black leather everywhere and the computer. computer and you know the the entire front seat was like had stuff in it. I did not want to know what it was. Right. All kinds of gear, right? You didn't take any handcuffs? Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, these guys were there. She already has her own early. No handcuffs, huh? No. No, no, no. None of that. No. I I was leaving that in my rearview mirror. How far away? That That came from Kylie. I just knew you didn't catch it, that's all. called out. I hadn't. That's what I I never expected that story. That's insane. Yeah. That's the last thing you want to accidentally get. Okay. Was the car was the car at least looking like your car or were you just that tired? Yeah. Just dark black car. Yeah. SUV. And And yours is a black SUV. Yep. Yep. Okay. All right. I can see it more of them. Yeah, I can see it. I'm just glad they didn't spot me, that's all. Well, yeah. It's funny because you would think, I mean, a cop ought to be locking up. Like, they're always telling us with the autotheft and everything, lock your cars. Make sure you lock your cars. And so, here's a cop with an undercover car. Doesn't lock the car. I don't know. I think Tina would have had a case there. Like, pot kettle. Yeah. Right. Seriously, Tina, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. I were taking people's stories about trying to accidentally get into the wrong car. Did it ever happen to you? And how embarrassing did things get? 1 800 283101.5. The time where I was caught happened in this very parking lot. Oh, then I know this story. I mean, at least you were caught by somebody that you know with Jeff Edelstein. Yeah, this could Yeah, that's okay. But if there's one person to be caught by, Jeff Edelstein's the one who's going to give you a guff, if you will. Right. So, he'll never let you forget it. Correct. Yeah. So, we were walking, this is when I was producing the evening shift, and he had been filling in. So, we were walking out. It's 11:00 at night. It's dark. Yeah. And you know what? I have a dark car. Well, it's my old car, but I still have the same color car. Dark gray. And I'm walking up to what I think is the car. I'm trying to open it, hitting the the the click click on my on my key on the vibe. Yeah. It's not opening. Not opening. And then I then I hear Jeff Ed walking up behind me just like, "What are you doing?" And that's when I realized this was not my car. Oh boy. And he just had the look, you know, like Well, you're a parent, you know, the I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. Uh-huh. He had that look of just like What do you I think he was just probably playfully giving you a hard time. I don't think he could have actually been mad at you. Well, no, he's not mad. that he's disappointed. Well, I I don't think he was disappointed in you. I think he was just trying to make you feel even more stupid than you probably already felt. Well, success, right? Oh, Jeff Edeline success because I'm still thinking about it 10 years later. But here's what's funny. The parking lot here, um, at best if it is slammed full, it's probably only what, maybe 30 cars maximum. Probably not even that. Not even that. Probably 24 maybe maximum. Maybe 22 maximum. I would. So, in other words, it's generous. It's right. It's seldom full. Usually, it might be half full. Late at night, it's going to be hardly anybody, but even when it's like just average, like half full, you're talking only like 10 or 12 cars, right? Yet, Kylie has done this at work at least three times that I know of. Well, that's the most embarrassing part about the Edelene thing. It was just the two of us. I had a 50-50 shot. It was 5050 and you still got it wrong. Exactly. Right. Like you still got it wrong. And were you even parked near him? You know that part I don't remember. If I had to guess be Yeah. If I had to guess it was one was on one side, the other was on the other side. But I honestly don't remember. I'll have to look back to the Acton tapes. Yeah. And we don't have like a signed parking. So sometimes you just don't remember where you're parked here. Yeah. All right. Well, we want to know. Have you ever done this though? You're trying to get into some total stranger's car. 1 800283101.5 with your Christmas shopping yet? New Jersey 101.5 251 news coming up top of the hour and uh we'll uh we'll be talking about um car prejudices at one point. Somebody on uh Facebook was telling me a very very funny one that this guy's got. Also, this is the anniversary 45 years ago of the murder of John Lennon. Wow. And to me, this is sort of like you got to be of a certain age, obviously, but it's sort of like one of those where you were when moments, and I think we've all had those in our lives. We'll talk about that later on. Right now, though, who else has tried to get into the wrong car like a big dope Tyrone in Bordontown, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how you doing? We're good. What's up? Hey, so it's pretty funny because anybody in Boringtown knows me. I do security out here. I'm a large guy and you see me, you hear me. you probably hear me first. So, I'm at the boarding town Waw Wa on uh what is that 206 and I'm loud singing rapping, you know, I have the door open and I'm talking to her friend and then I turn around and step into the car and there's a woman ducking down like just ducking in her seat as I'm like going to sit on her. I'm like, "Oh, not my car." And I just close the door. Wow. You didn't you But I'm a very large guy, so I'm super scared. And you didn't even notice that she was behind the wheel. You were just gonna get in and I was just going to sit on her and she didn't say anything to me and I was like, "Uh oh, I'm so sorry." And I got in my car. I didn't even make eye contact with her. How did she not say something? Like I said, I'm a very large guy. My voice is deep. So, and that's why I would say something. Well, no, but I mean, you think she just got intimidated like like she just shortcircuited cuz I'm sure she's going to remember that forever. Do you think if she had just pulled out a couple of singles, would you have gone ahead with a lap dance for her or do you think you would not have lap danced her? I most likely would have gave her the lap dance at the very least a rap. I mean, you don't you feel you almost owed her a lap dance after that? I I I definitely should have should have, you know, but I mean, you were you were on her lap anyway practically. I was in my work clothes. cuz I had my security shirt on. But if I was Well, those will come off. Yeah. I mean, that just makes you look like a stripper. Yeah, exactly. It's like one of those like stripper gimmicks, you know, like the Definitely older. Tyrone, man, I love this. I love this scenario. Ne next time. Yeah, really. Consider that practice. Keep it in mind for next time you get into a woman's car. Thank you for calling New Jersey 1.5. I'll uh have some singles next time I'm I'm in board in town. Oh, really? She's going to be like, "Where was that?" Wawa, Tyrone. Yeah. Really? I think I think he said Wawa. Hey, you um you've got a story up, I understand, or it's going up. Uh on nj1015.com and it has to do with a unique business that has not been in New Jersey yet at all before. It's the first of its kind. Jeeoff, did did you know about the concept of dirty sodas? I only heard about dirty sodas maybe a year or two ago and I don't know how long the dirty soda idea has been around. Were you hanging around Mormons? No, my kid told me. My kid told me. Yeah, I think it was No, Mina told me about dirty soda. She was like 17 at the time. Oh, see, I would have figured maybe if they had them in Vermont, maybe Jack told you about them, but no. Um, New Jersey has its first dirty soda shop. It's called The Drink Spot. And this is in Middletown or Belelfford, but it's a part of a Middletown section. Yeah. Yeah. But the drinks look so good. Yeah. I mean, to explain what it I mean, it will explain it if you never heard the concept uh in the article that she's got, but it's basically like a little bit of soda, but they throw a lot of other things in there. Yeah. There's soda and then you can throw in some flavored syrups, some creams, some toppings. Like they have candy, they have fruit wedges, they have uh one of them. And this connects to how it's related to the Mormons. One related to the secret lines of Mormon wives. Yeah. There's Fruity Pebbles on top, right? Apparently, there's some drama going on there, but I'll let you figure that out. But no, I was looking these up. They look incredible. I might leave you to go to Belelfford right now. You might go do a run. All right. But what I love most about them, and this is the again the drink spot in Belelfford, Jeff, they had wicked themed drinks. Oh, there it is. That's what really got you. They had the Alphaba drink and the Glenda drink. Yeah. Yeah. So, I can tell the owner's there. She kindred Spirits. Yeah. Shout out Vicki. Nice. Oh, yeah.

There you go. Or as the as she then joked back, director of LA. The director of LAS. But yeah, her kids are uh apparently they're going to be recording it early this week.

Like when like like when in Harmony they do the five big sink holes apparently. I don't know what she's doing but she said that she there's going to be some effect in there apparently as if you're falling into the hole. We'll see. Yeah. Or we'll hear rather. Right. Is it just going to be one kid going like like I don't which should be which should be very funny. Like I'm game for anything. But I can't wait to hear this. Whatever she sends us. so happy. I'm very thankful that she is doing this again this year. Yeah. I almost regret that I didn't stay in Hillsboro. Uh because I bet my kids cuz uh the older ones, they're now 20 and 18 and they they may have had her. Um I almost regret that I moved out of Hillsboro because she just sounds like an awesome teacher. So yeah. All right. So anyway, her phone number is 1800 283101.5. Uh of course you're probably doing some holiday shopping right now. Kylie brought something up before the show and I thought she had an unusual take on a certain thing. I think either one of these things is okay, but she thought regifting was more acceptable than returning a gift for something more to your liking. Absolutely. And credit where due. This is based off of an article from one of our sister stations, 943 the point. L Roso put this up, which is a a simple guide to returning unwanted holiday gifts. So, check that out. But I'm just gonna say it, Jeff. It's fine to regift. There's nothing wrong with regifting. Well, it does have an ugly connotation to it. I I now see it. I think it all comes down into the details. I think you have to be very careful. You have to make sure that you're regifting it. Well, now there's so many questions. If you regift a thing, you never tell the person that it's a regift. You just make them think that you bought it. I wouldn't say never. If it's for a holiday gift, do you tell them, "I actually had this. Didn't like it, but I knew you would love it." Or does that just make you look like a cheapkate? Like I would think most regifting is regarded as you don't tell them. You give them the gift, you wrap it up, and you got to make sure that the price tag was gone. But you also have to make sure that there's no personal note inside a box, say, that you never realized was in there, and then they're going to realize that it was a regift. Of course. Of course. Right. So, you got to be really careful if you're going to regift. I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with it, but I think you also have to make sure that if you regift a thing that it's not just because you need a gift that it's something that you wouldn't like, but you know soand so really would. That's number one. I think a regift isn't just something to grab to get you out of a jam. I feel like a regift is well, you know who likes this style, but I just don't and I would have bought this myself. That I think is a solid regift then. However, then you've got to make sure whoever you are regifting a thing to that they are not anywhere in the circle of friends or family that the original giftter was. Oh, like they're not going to wear the sweater in front of them, right? Because they Right. Or or serve the wine glasses at a party or something if if they're unusual enough, you know, that you would recognize them. That's what I think you got to be careful of. And then is it worth regifting? Because it's almost like they say that, you know, it's horrible to lie because then you have to remember all your lies. It's almost like that you have to think ahead about, well, is this person's path going to cross with that person or does this person ever see this guy blah blah blah blah blah. And even if it's not that year, maybe in two years they're going to figure out that you regifted that thing from three years ago. Just saying. Just saying. It's a lot to keep track of. But why is that better than returning a gift? Because at least you're you're still giving. It's the it's the gift of having a gift to give away. You're at least making someone else happy as opposed to just being like, "Wait, what? What? What? What? It's the gift of having a gift to give away to someone else. You're making someone else happy with that gift. You're saying, you know, here I know you would like like I was regifted stuff from Bath & Body Works a few years ago. Yeah. Love it. Still use it. Absolutely love that regift. Now, how do you know it was regifted? Because they told you. Yeah. Oh, they they flat out Well, see, that's very different, though. I mean, they told you. I think I think the Who who regifted it to you? My neighbor. Okay. Was it for a holiday present or was it just, "Hey, would you like this?" You know what I'm saying? Like it could be like a anytime gift. I don't want this. Would you like it? Here you go. That's the easiest way to regift. But but if if if it's regifted as a holiday gift, I think that gets more sensitive. I honestly do not remember what gathering it was. Okay. Because I just see her so often. It's like, was that in September? Was that in March? Who knows? Okay. Okay. So, let's say though somebody gave her a sweater and she hates black. The giftter should have even known that this woman hates black, right? But they gave her a black sweater. Why can't she just take it back to Kohl's and get like a beige sweater? Same sweater. That's a That's a chore. That's a task. I don't want a task. Well, no, but you're Okay. So, it's because I think that's my that's why I prefer Wait a minute. So, it's not that it's cold to the original gifter. It's that it's too much work for you. Is that what it is? We might have just unpacked something. Oh my god. So, one is saving you effort, the other is costing you effort. I don't love that we figured that out in real time. Wow. But I can't take it back. Wow. I guess that's what it is. All right. Is it ever okay to return a gift, get something more to your liking, and do you tell the person? Do you say, "Hey, I love this sweater, but it really wasn't like it was a little itchy. I I I traded it for this. I hope that's okay with you. Do you tell the person if you return a gift and switch it out like exchange a gift or what about regifting? Is that okay? 1800283101.5. It's 318. Here's Fast Traffic. Ara Health has a 323 with Jeff Taminsky and Kylie Moore. We're going to have news in under seven minutes. So Kylie here and we just figured out why. I think Kylie here doesn't think that it's good to return a gift, you know, like exchange it, get something else more to your liking. It's fine to. I just wouldn't. But you wouldn't. All right. But yet, when it comes to regifting, she would regift. Have at it. And it turns out we we think we cracked the code. It's because one's the regift saves her effort whereas the returning costs her effort. I have to go to the mall. I feel like it's as far as the other side of the equation, not me, but them. I feel like it's more I feel like it's more honest and acceptable to exchange a gift, but I think you've got to tell the person that you exchanged it. And I think well because you're being upfront with them. Like when people exchange a gift, they're they're they're telling the giver that they exchanged it, aren't they? Or am I wrong about that? I wouldn't. Whereas usually if you're regifting, you never tell the gifter that you're regifting a thing. You wouldn't. Yeah, but Yeah, but then like if it's an oracle of clothing that your grandma gave you, then she's going to want to know where the hell it is. Yeah, but I don't I don't want to be like, "Oh, thank you so much. I hate this. Uh, I'm going to say it that way." But you don't say it that way. It's implied. No, you say, "I love this. I love the design of it. I really would like it in this other color. Would that be okay? I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I love this. You just put love, love, love, love. Yeah, you're saying the same thing. The message is the same. I I don't think it is. I think I I think it's conveyed a different way, but you guys tell us, is it okay to return a gift? And how do you do it? What about regifting? 1800283101.5. Vinnie and Freehold, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, Vin. Hey, regifting is so wrong. Whoa. Is it wrong? Okay, tell us. Tell us. Let me tell you what happened. years ago, uh, uh, my sister-in-law received the a gift for her daughter from my aunt. It was like one of those little, it was a cute little sundress. Um, so she gave that gift to my niece as a birthday present. A couple years later that there was an occasion that happened with my daughter and my sister-in-law happened to give that dress to her and she was bragging. Oh, I went to so many boutiques looking for this. I saw this cute little dress. I had to get it for your daughter. She was going on and on and on and how how you know how she went out of her way to buy this cute dress. It was a cute dress. It was I even remember it was a cute little sun dress with purple flowers. So, we had a family occasion. We went to a party and she was outright making up stories about how she got this. Yes. Okay. That's the issue with this story, not the regifting. I don't know. a little bit. But so we went to a party. We went to a party and my and everybody was there and my aunt was like, "Hey, that's the dress that I gave to Carol's daughter." Oh. Oh. And so the truth came out where that dress came from. And And so yeah, it was the embarrassing situation for for her, I guess. Did the other one ever admit it or did she just stick to No, it must be just a similar dress. No, I mean, we didn't even confront her about it. Yeah, we just like knew we didn't want to embarrass her. But we know the truth. We know the truth. So So never regift yourself. Sorry. Never regift. That's wrong. But Vinnie, what if it's something that you know you won't use, but you know that someone that you are friends with or you know your family, you know that they will use, let's just say a body lotion. It's like, I don't like this smell. I know they like French vanilla. I'll give it to them. Well, if I'm able to go to the store and exchange it myself without them knowing for something uh you know something that I would like, I would do that. But I wouldn't regift. No, you never know. Not the It comes back. It comes back to bite you, you know, just like like the story I just told you. I never have to worry about a regift from Vinnie. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. So Vinnie says, "Too much spy work, too complicated, too technical." I What do you think? And has it ever blown up in your face? either returning a gift, exchanging it for something that you like more. Is that okay to do? What about regifting somebody's gift to you? Is that okay to do? And what are the ground rules? 1800283 101.5. Calling in from Madawan. Hi, Prophet. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. Regifting is totally wrong. I'm 0 for two. Totally wrong. Yes. Totally wrong. Why? Because if I give you a gift, it's from the heart and it's the reason why I gave you the gift. And I actually gave somebody a gift and it was it wasn't it was too small. And she felt so bad because she actually called me up and said it felt she didn't it didn't fit. And luckily I leave a receipt so they can return it in case get a bigger size or a smaller size. Didn't have her size at all. So I told her, "You know what? I understand. Just get yourself a gift certificate and get whatever you want to get." But we right. So that you're fine with. And especially Oh yeah. Oh, I'm fine with that. Oh, and not not to not to go on too much of a tangent, but prophet, if you're giving a gift to I guess a guy could feel this way, too, but I was going to say to a woman, I guess anybody could. If you give the wrong size to somebody, it better be a size smaller, not larger, right? It was a size small, right? Yeah. See, and that's good. Absolutely not. What? Well, you're saying I'm wrong? Yeah. Why? Why? Be- because then the woman just feels bad about their body. What do you The woman said the woman said that she said that was her size. No, no, no. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm saying like if you're a medium and I accidentally give you a small. Yes. Then I feel bad. Well, yeah, but wouldn't you feel worse if I gave you a large? Because then Why? Because then you would think that my perception would be that you're right. No, no, no, no. Okay, guys, hold on. No, no, no. Yeah, explain it to us. We We need a woman's perspective. I feel because if if I gave a woman a size that's too big for her, then she's like, "What the matter with you? probably around fat. No, this is the size you told me you were and I got you this. So, how was you wrong? I feel fat not fitting into the size that you gave me. Oh, no. Oh, really? Don't prophet. Prophet, my friend, don't tell me no. I should I should I should just give you a large and you say, "Wow, Prophet, you think I'm that big?" Get your head cut off as a guy. Okay, here's the uh little secret, guys. I'm going to let you in on it. Please teach me. Please teach me. The secret is there's no winning. Haha. God damn. That's the smartest thing she ever said about women. Prophet, that is She just gave us the skeleton key to women. There's no winning. There's no winning. She's right about that. No matter how hard you try, you can never understand a woman. You just keep your mouth shut and walk away. Ex, Prophet. There you go. We need to get We need We need to get a beer together, Prophet, and figure this out, man. Cuz she just nailed it. You won't. That's the secret. We You won't figure it out. But I'll get that beer with you. But at least we'll have beer. Prophet, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We appreciate it. Oh my god. There's no winning. All right. Is it okay to return and exchange a gift? Or what about regifting? What are the ground rules if you're going to do it? 1800283 101.5 1800. It's so cold out here. I'd get in P. Diddy's car. Huh? Am I right? Am I right? All right. 1 800283 1 800 283 It's so cold out there. I want one of David Bradley's beautiful mugs to fill with hot chocolate. How about them apples? Okay. 1 800283101.5. Is it okay to return a gift? Exchange something. And also, if you're going to do it, does do you need to do you need to tell the person who gave you the gift that you're going to exchange it for, say, like a different size or a different color? If it was a shirt, should you keep it in that category and just get a different shirt? For example, if somebody went to Target and bought me a book, why you'd buy one from Target, I don't know. But let's say they bought me a book from Target. They give me that. If I then go back to Target and exchange that and in place of the book I don't get another book. Instead I get say Listerine and toilet paper. Is that bad? Is that wrong? If I just like trade it out for something not even close that's far more of a slap in the face than regifting. But what if I just exchange it for a different book or a different shirt color? Is that also more of a slap in the face? It's basically saying you don't know me at all. Well, what is regifting saying? It's saying it's that's saying you didn't even try to know that person. Does it? And I know that they would appreciate this. Does it? Then you become the bigger person. Does it? Or does it just say, "Oh crap, I'm supposed to be there in 10 minutes. What's in my closet?" Huh? All right. Is it okay to return a gift? What about regifting? 1 800283101.5. Gary and Colnack, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. Hi. Hey, Gary. I'm a little good. I'm a little confused, but then again, I'm pretty simple. But listen, how's it a regift if nobody knows that you got the gift? Oh, so you don't think you should tell the person that you're giving it to them? Very few tell them with a regift. Very few tell them. You know, listen, I know it's not a regift, but like I have three older brothers. We used to get handme-downs from hand-me-downs, and by the time I got my car from my brothers, they were all destroyed. Yeah. I mean, in a sense. hand me down, right? That's a regift. It's a regift, right? But you know what was great about my regift? What? I learned how to drive a stick. Oh. Oh, nice. That makes one of us, you know, but anyway, I just So, have you ever have you ever been have you ever received a regift besides the car? To be honest with you, no one ever told me, but I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah. See, that's the thing. Like unless you unless it blows up in their face somehow or if they're just that honest and they told you it was a regift, you're probably never going to know that it was a regift. But Gary, in a way I agree with you because here's the thing. Let's say they give you I don't know um uh okay socks. Socks that like a pair like a three-pack of socks that are say $15, right? Right. All right. If you would have gone out and spent something like $15 for a gift for them, instead you're just taking the thing that has already been purchased, but it's still worth $15. So, it's not like you're not it's not like you're being cheap because you're giving up, right? You're giving up $15 by giving them the socks that you already had. It's just that it's already traded money for the socks. And so, it makes it a little bit simpler. But, Right. And so people who say it's cheap to regift. I don't know. Is it cheap? Because you're still giving up the value of a thing and it's as long as it's not used, then it's it's a gift, right? I mean, oh, true. It don't matter. But but listen, at the end of the day, seriously, we got to be thankful for any gift that we get. Yeah, but you want new socks. Ah, forget you. Come on. I want the pre-smelled socks. Yeah. I was going to go into my uh laundry bin tonight for you, but forget it. Okay. next time. Gary, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Calling a call from you is always a gift. A Jin and Jackson, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. How you guys doing? Hey, we're good. Hi. So, I heard the topic and I wanted to call in. Personally speaking, um before getting to the point of unwanted gifts, yeah, I try hard to stick to something that's universally usable instead of like decor or clothing or perfumes, which people can be particular about, right? I stick to edible stuff. I mean, granted, there's going to be somebody who can't eat certain things or is also picky about food, right? But your odds of m of that getting used is higher than that sweater or that candle or that whatever. True. Okay, I'll give you that. Right. So, basically the fault is more on the gift giver for not being careful enough. Well, partially. Yeah, I'm kind of into this. I'm I need you to like do my gift shopping for me, you know. But Jyn, you do know who can turn down chocolates. Who would turn down chocolates? Some people are better giftgivers than other people, though. And it might not be that they don't care. It might just be that I don't know. They don't have a mind for it for whatever reason. My hand is raised. Yeah. What? That you don't have a mind for it? I am not a good giftgiver. I'm not a good giftgiver. Jyn, you want to hear something funny? As just just as co-workers, right? As co-workers, cuz Kylie and I have known each we've worked in the same place for like 10 years now, right? So if we give each other something like at the holiday every single year, you know what I get? A bottle of Jack Daniels. Does it get used? Like Well, yeah, of course. Yeah. Right. Right. But like like I know what I'm getting. If if I'm going to get something, I know it's a bottle of Jack. Jen, he'll be like, "Eight months ago, you referenced this scene from this movie and here's a a screen grab from that." And I'll be like, "Oh, cool. Here's Jack Daniels." Well, oh, okay. Hey, now I'm not trying to flex, but you're going to say I am. One of the coolest gifts I got Kylie once. I got a photo, I think, from her Instagram of of her whole family together when they went to Hawaii. This is a great gift. It was her It was her and her sister and her mom and her dad. Flex on this, please. And and and I sent it to this place where they take it because one of her favorite shows is The Simpsons. and they turn your photo into an animated version where they're sitting on the Simpsons couch as if they're Simpsons characters and it's like a painting I think in a little frame. I can't remember if it's a frame, right? And I got that for her and I sent it to her and that same year I got another bottle of Jack. Jeff got a uh big old bottle of Jack Daniels. But it's okay. It's okay though. Both Both are appreciated in my opinion. Yeah. You know what? I bet I down that bottle of Jack faster than you put up the photo. You know what's up on our piano. I do know. And thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5 and for having this like couples spat. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I feel like we just went to therapy. Yeah. Really? Right. Co-host therapy. Oh my god. Yeah. Co-orker therapy. Man, that's too funny. All right. Is it I bet you that exists somewhere. All right. Is it It probably should. It probably should. Is it okay to return a gift? Then what about regifting? 1800283101.5. River from a place you well know. Hey, coming up on 352 with Jeff Dinsky and Kylie Moore. We're going to have Levon's news in about 8 minutes. Right now, we want to know, is it okay to return a gift to the store? Maybe exchange it for something else or what about regifting? Is that okay to do? Do you have to tell the person that you're regifting? There are so many so much to unpack here. 1800 283101.5. Calling in from Hamilton, we've got Andrew. Hey, Andrew. Hey, good evening, guys. Thanks for taking my call. And hey, I I I just want to start by saying this topic of conversation is the exact reason why I don't buy anything for anybody and I tell everyone not to buy anything from me. Yeah. Just too much pressure. Too much pressure. I just You know what? I I the holidays to me is getting together with people, drinking, hanging out. It's it's the the the gift giving just I don't know. You had me shower. Yeah. With that being said, regifting I think is ridiculously horrible. I think that is that is that is just I hate to say it. I think it's a little classless. I think so. But as far as as far as you going as far as you going to return something and exchanging it for something else, that's no different than if I give you $100 for Christmas, your birthday, whatever. I'm not going to tell you how you have to spend that money. So that so that you think is okay. Okay. If you think I give you a book, I give you a book. You want to go back to that store, re return it, and get the money, go ahead. I'd rather you do that than put that in a box and give it to somebody else. Oh, boy. You Well, all right. Andrew, you and I are opposite on this. Yeah. Yeah. Because at least that way I know you're going to do you're going to get you're going to maybe get something that you really enjoy and I could live with that. But you stick it in a box and give it to somebody else, that's a slap in the face. Okay. Now, you go first. Okay. Well, well, hold the thought, Kylie. Okay. So, real quick, if you're going to like say bring the book back to the store and exchange it for whatever, should that person tell the gift giver that they need it? Nope. I've given you a gift. You do what you want with it. Give it to somebody else. That that gift wasn't good enough for you, but it's good enough to give to somebody else. Well, yeah. Maybe the You were saying it wasn't good enough for you to keep it or at least go get something you want with it, but it's good enough to give to somebody else. But maybe someone else will enjoy it more than I would. No. Oh, well then go return the book, get the money, and go buy something else for that person. I'll give them my gift. But the joy is giving someone else that joy. Wait, what? You didn't put any thought into it. The joy is giving someone else the satisfaction, the happiness that will come from that gift. But you're not paying for it, right? Go put the leg work in. Put the leg work in. Go to the store. Return the gift. I got you. Get money for all I care or something else. you think the thoughtfulness of what that person would like, but just don't take my gift and stick it in a box and give it to them. Okay, Andrew, you sound like you have been burned. Did an ex do something to you? No. No, not at all. I've actually I mean I I I enjoy getting gifts. I you know, but I I just it's I just be I've become jaded listening to people go on about got to make sure equal amounts and what blah blah blah blah and it's like you know what? Oh, I hate that. I just I'd rather not I rather not deal with it. I do hate that with kids. Like, oh well, if you do for one, you got to do the same the same. And then I sit there and watch these kids open these gifts on like Christmas Eve and I'm like, oh, I just want to throw them all in the front one and light them on fire and be like there now. No one gets nothing now. Oh, okay. I thought I thought you meant the kids light them on fire. Okay. Yeah. Oh, no. No. Not like the kids on fire. The gifts. I got you. I got you. I feel like Andrew is going to be visited by three ghosts this year. No, Andrew. It's seriously all good fun. We appreciate it. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Stay with us for Leon Sue coming up. You're wondering about your back. Is it still New Jersey chime time? It is 4:11. It's a Monday afternoon. We're in the holiday season. So, whoopdedoo. Yeah, Dominic the donkey is braaying. Hippopotamuses are being wrapped before our eyes. And uh it's Jeff and Kylie with you. I'm Jeff Deinsky. I'm Kylie Moore. And I want to thank everyone who has sent me on Instagram the real of the Die Hard House. Oh, wait. Do tell what's going on. I have had Oh, pulling up Instagram. Explain. Explain to me. I shall explain, Lucy. So, look at you getting an old I love Lucy reference. My god. Trying. Yeah, I'm just filling for time. No. So many people have sent me um this Die Hard house that has a giant John Mlan with the the gun. It has now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho. It has a Nakatomi Plaza. It has a line from the movie that I cannot say. Yippi Cay Mother. You know what? Yeah. Yeah. But wait, but wait. But wait. The police car. It's a house though. Oh. Oh, I couldn't see it from this far away. You mean you mean an actual house that they decorated this way? I understand now. I didn't know if you meant like a to a a kid's toy. I didn't know what you were talking about, but No, no, now I get it. Now I get it. I'm sorry. This has been making its way throughout the internet. And yeah, I had not seen this yet. Wow. I will send it to you. Yeah, actually I would like to see that up close. Yeah. Rather than like six feet away cuz I couldn't make it out. But uh yeah, that's uh Yeah, that's fun for you. Like I'm easily in like the double digits of people who have sent this to me. Yeah. Well, people know. To which I respond, "Oh, great. Now people know where I live." People as if it was my house. Yeah, right. No, I got you. I got you. Took me half a second. Um, but speaking of other things I'm passionate about. No, but hold on. But hold on. Uh, that that does make me think of a brief conversation that we had right before going on the air. Hey, Kylie. You're saying that uh if Home Alone was a uh Christmas movie, then Die Hard has to be a Christmas movie. Absolutely. Absolutely not. I die on the hill. The violence in Home Alone was cartoonish. Nobody actually dies. Uh there's a church scene. Home Alone is a Christmas movie. Die Hard is not. It had a Christmas undertone, but it was not a Christmas movie. Kids will not look at John Mlan and think, "I can do that." But kids can look at Kevin Mallister and think, "I can do that." Yeah. Okay. Well, can be inspired by Kevin Mallister, who is a demon, by the way. John McClean was fighting for good. Okay. Well, you know what? Kids could be inspired by a Christmas story and shoot their eye out, kid. I mean, well, so what? Kids can be inspired by everything. Has got nothing to do with whether it's the Christmas movie or not. Blah blah blah blah blah. Ah, I'm just saying Home Alone is kid die hard. I I know you're saying that, but I still disagree. I die hard on that hill. Okay, speaking of dying hard, Jesus. Yeah, I know. because you know I mean it actually did happen here and that's it's actually tragic. There was a documentary about this Action Park was the subject of u a post on the um New Jersey subreddit. I believe this is New Jersey subreddit. Yeah. And um somebody found a couple of items. I found these two items while looking through a box of old junk and keepsakes. 1980s Action Park key ring tag and uh and people started commenting on Action Park. Was only there once. Have heard some kind of scary stories from others who went more often. Another person says, "I still have the scars from Action Park decades later. Well earned." Someone responded to that saying, "My very earliest memory of Action Park is a puddle of blood." Yep. This I'm going back on the soap box. Action Park is insane to me. I do not understand why people went. I do not understand why people are nostalgic for it, but I love hearing their stories because I understand I'm in the minority here. But I I You want some stories? You want some stories? All she wants for Christmas is for you to call.

If you worked there, if you went there, if you saw the documentary Class Action Park on HBO, how accurate was that? Because I just can't wrap my mind around Action Park. I like I get clubed about it. I get like I get worked up because I don't understand how people will call in. They'll tell me that they broke both arms in the same summer. They have a scraped me knee. They like crack their skull and they're like best summer of my life 82 baby or whatever. I just made up a year. I don't think it was open yet. Right. And sometimes you can still hear the affection in their voice. I can hear the for that place. Right. Right. And I've tried to explain it to you now. Now again, you guys could explain it better, but I think I've got a good handle on it for a kid who I grew up in Union County. I understand it wasn't that far, but for some dumb reason, me and my circle of friends in Raw, New Jersey, I never heard of any kids from from that town going to Action Park. I'm not saying they didn't. I'm saying I never heard them talk about it. And for some reason, Mount Vernon, it's it just it felt at that age like it was five times farther away than it really is. I realized it was doable. I realized we could have gone kid. Well, Right. Right. Exactly. And I mean, and and at least when we got our licenses even then I could have got just never did. And I really regret not going because it does sound like a blast. I don't know why it felt so far away. So, I really do feel kind of lame that I never did, but I have tried to explain it to you, but you guys could explain better what the what the attraction was to Action Park. 1-800 283101.5. Carmen and Living. Oh, we just lost him. Oh. Oh, God. It must have been You know what? It was all the brain damage from Action Park. How about we go to Bill in Princeton? Bill, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, Bill. How's it going? So, yeah, we used to go to Action Park all the time. And uh one of the things we had one of the guys do was called Surf Hill, which was you went on a mat, you went down a couple humps, and you hit a water pole at the bottom. When we convinced him that to put some uh chairs under the first mat, which would launch you on our side, and he did it. So you would be launched in midair and then you come down and you would land land into the puddle and you would stop whatever else and uh I mean all the all all the water slides were made of cement but they had bumps in them so when you went down them and like you weren't on a mat or anything they even tear your skin up a little bit but yeah we always went back I probably went there like 10 times. It was just pretty excitement. You just keep going back for more. So you're getting like open wounds and you got that water going into those open wounds. You did more. Bill, you're the perfect example of what I'm talking about. You're talking about getting wounds and then I can hear the smile in your voice. I can hear that you're nostalgic for it. I wish it was still there. I'll do it again. No, Bill. She can't She can't understand. You know what I think it is? I get a paper cut and I'm upset for the day. When you're that age, you know what? I have a whole theory on this. I'll tell you what. We got to do traffic with Brendan and Jill. Sure. Bill, thank you so much for calling New Jersey 1.5. I'm glad you survived. I have a whole theory on this, but as an outsider who didn't go, but I'm so well aware of what went on, I think I've got a solid grasp of why it was so popular. I will give you my theory and then tell me if it needs a little modification. You guys that have gone, you women that have gone, tell me if when I give you my theory after the break if uh if I'm right or wrong. Who's got an action park survival story? 1800283101.5. Here's Fast Traffic. had credit. Is it a problem getting a All right, here's my take on why it was so popular. We're talking about Action Park. If you have an Action Park survival story from back in the day, call it into us. 1800283101.5. As an outsider, tell me if I'm right or wrong. I feel like there was no other place that had the sense of the inmates taking over the jail. Good lord. The patients taking over the asylum, if you will. The kids who worked there were as young as the kids who went there. As young and drunk as the kids who went there. Well, and that's the other thing. If you saw the documentary, you know, like anything went I'm not saying it was good for kids, but it's what happened. And there was underage drinking. Um there was a lot that, you know, that went down there. And it was a case of kids that age in their teens and even younger. You don't really feel mortal. You don't really have the concept that you're going to die. You hear it. You hear it talked about. You don't really even believe it. You're so young. You got that many years in front of you. You don't think it You don't think it's real. And so the danger seems less. A broken bone seems like nothing. You got mom and dad at home. Okay, you break your bones. So what? You get all your friends at school to sign the cast. Who gives a crap? It's not like you're 28 and you know you got a 2-year-old kid and you're going to miss six weeks work and you're not going to get paid and the kid's going to starve. You're 16. What do you care if you get a gash on your leg? You know, this is a lot more thinking than anyone has ever put into Action Park. I don't think it is. I think I I I think it's valid. I think it was the sense of power because anything went. It was that sense of we took over for those few hours. You were king. We took over the place. That's what I think was so great about it. You guys tell me if I'm right or wrong. Let's Oh, calling in from Vernon. John, hi. You're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how you doing today? Hey, John. What's up? What do you What do you say? Not much. So yeah, I mean, listen, I grew up there. I worked there for on and off for 10 plus years. Wow. When I was Yeah. When I was 14 years old. Um, there's a lot of tall tales been told about the place, but there was also a lot of wild things that did happen. Yeah. Yeah. As cleanly as you can put it for on air. What are the wild things that you witnessed? Um, yeah. You mentioned some of them. underage drinking and partying and stuff. But y, you know, it was it was it was a lot of fun for the youth of the area. Um, almost everybody I grew up with and people older than me and younger than me started their, you know, work careers there. What What was the worst injury that you saw? Me personally or heard of? Um, I've I saw some broken bones, but nothing catastrophic. Uh, some road rash, so to say, from the alpine slide, but nothing catastrophic like what people talk about, right? You know, not whole whole sections of your body, skin missing, small rashes. What What attractions did you work at? Um, I started out at 14. I worked for food and beverage working the push carts inside the park selling like ice cream. Um, and then I worked as a lifeguard for a couple years and uh some of the other attraction rides, bungee tower, things like that. So, I worked a lot of different spots there. Wow. Okay. Um, is it true that kind of after hours it would get a little crazy among the staff? It it had happened from time to time. It wasn't a routine thing. I feel like that was a very political answer. Well, I work, listen, I spent till I was in my mid20s seasonally working for ski resorts as well, starting with, you know, the winter ski area of Bernard Valley Great Gorge, which was Action Park in the winter. Mhm. So that seasonal type of work that kind of comes with the territory whether it's at an amusement park, a water park, a ski area, um even in construction to this day. It kind of comes with the territory when you work seasonally. I will, you know what? I will take your word for it, John. Thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. We appreciate your insight. All right. So, we want to we want to hear from people who have been to Action Park, whether you work there like John, but especially if you were there just to go crazy and do you have a survival story? Uh, what happened to you or what have you seen happen at Action Park 1800 283101.5 Ford in Oldbridge Service Center? 437 with Jeff Deinsky and Kylie Moore. We're hanging out with you this afternoon and I am desperate to understand Action Park. I don't want to be a kerogen about it, but every story I hear about it, I just cannot fathom why people are so nostalgic for it when people are like, "I broke both wrists." Didn't you ever do anything dangerous as a kid? I I guess I mean, I've been on an alpine slide. I've been on an alpine slide dozens of times. Just not their alpine slide. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You went on the Nambby Pam be safer ones that have like inspections properly done. I don't know if I did because both this is going back years, but both my sister and my dad got injured on the alpine slide. Well, then how do you not relate? Because I mean it was I know it wasn't there, but how do you not relate? Because when they when we talk about this story, they talk about it like it's the war. Oh, not fondly. Correct. But the people who talk so fondly about Action Park, I just I'm desperate to understand. I think you're the oddball. I think I know. I know, Jeff. I want to hear the stories. So, who has a survival story from Action Park? Linda and Punks of Okay, Linda. No way you were that reckless. No way. When I was dating my husband and then for a short time after we got married before we had kids, we used to go there all the time. And I was naive. I had no idea. I was as dangerous as like all these videos and everything say it to be. Like we used to go in the summertime. It was cheap to go there and you could do like the water slides or you could do they had like cliff diving there. So you do like the short cliff dive or you do the high cliff dive. And is it true that when you did the cliff dive, it would go into like I don't want to say natural spring water, but like super super cold water. Super super cold and really really deep and actual like like a river water type water. Not not like water that you have in a water park now. But we didn't really think anything of it like we thought it was I thought it was safe because there were lifeguards and stuff there. So I assumed they were actually lifeguards. So I mean like the kids my husband the kids that drowned the drowned bodies in the pool didn't didn't tip tip you off there I never occasionally once in a while over by the bigger rides you would hear an ambulance or someone got hurt or something like that but nothing ever happened that I saw and my husband is an excellent swimmer. He was a lifeguard for years. So he would always go in ahead of me and then I would dive and he got me so that after going for a while I would go on the higher one and turned out that he knew they weren't watching. So, he was watching and taking care of me while we were there, but I didn't. There you go. He knew they weren't watching. That That's always what you want in a lifeguard. They're not watching. Well, I had I had my own personal lifeguard, so I was safe and I never got hurt there, but my husband was always there watching over me whenever I would do those dives. Okay. Now, in this the year 2025, if Action Park, as it existed then, still existed, would you take your kids there? Not my kids, no. But I might go there for fun with my husband. Oh my. All right. Oh my goodness. This is wild. Yeah. Linda, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Do you remember that one story that was in the documentary about how they couldn't figure out it didn't last long, but it was like a sort of like a water slide that was like a loop the loop? Yes. It fully went upside down, right? Fully went upside down and occur like like literally like a loop toloop and they couldn't figure out why people were coming out of it with gashes. They were ripped up by something and they finally figured it out. Somebody had smashed their mouth inside that loop toloop and their teeth broke out and embedded into the inside of the loop and then subsequent riders were slashing their legs and their arms and their backs open on somebody else's embedded tooth that was inside the loop. I remember it all too well. Jeeoff, I've watched this documentary at least four times. Yep. And I I will watch it again. So, what's your action park survival story? Tom and Manahawk and you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi guys. My brothers and I used to go there all the time. And you know the the loop-loop thing. That is true. And did you go? I used because I wasn't there very long. My brother did. Oh wow. My brother did. I didn't go through it. Oh no. I'm not doing loops. Smart. And then my brother's my older brother used to go on the alpine slide. I said I'll give him a head start. He goes, "No, you can go down." "No, I'm going to kick him off the ride." "No, I went when there's a way to go." I blew my brother right off the freaking ride. He went flying in midair. And he slid all the way down. I said, "Get out of my way. I'm coming at you." I didn't It was kind of heavy, you know, kind of big right straight down, right? Nothing nothing happened to me. And then the what's it the cliff diving? Please. We stayed at the the mansions next door. You know, it's called the old Playboy Mansion next door. Yeah. And and we used to stay there and my dad's like, "Oh, I have to pay for this thing cuz we weren't going to drive home. We live down south." I said, "All right, we do that." I said, "I I paid for the whole thing. I went cliff driving and everybody's money is on the bottom of the tank." And I used to hold my breath really good. So 13 ft is not that bad. I used to loop up all the money, cash, wallets, everything. My dad used to take the money out of the wallet and just flip the wallet back in the water. Tons of money. I think we cleared about $67,000 one day. Oh my god. So yeah, so that paid for your trip. Yeah. And then we went to the wave pool. I love the wave pool. I went underneath the wave when the big giant fans on and I'm scooping up that money as well. Wasn't the wave pool where somebody drowned? I think somebody drowned. They called it the grave pool. The grave pool. I actually I was Yeah. I was actually standing on top of somebody. I said, "Look, Dad, look. I'm only like 52. I look I can stand 5t of water." He goes, "You're not standing on on 5t of water. You're standing on top of somebody who was drowning underneath me." So I dra dragged them out and receded the whole pool out and they gave me lifetime tickets after I rescued his that old man. Well, he wasn't old. He was like in his 40s out of the water. Yeah. It's funny. You were a kid. He was probably like 32. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody Every year we used to get free tickets. That is wild. Yeah. And see and he loved it. Wow. But do you hear the adoration in his voice? He loved it. Absolutely. Tom Woof. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Yeah. There's something about how they um had the water in the wave pool where waves normally I'm not going to explain buoyancy cuz I don't understand it. There was no salt in it. It was fresh water. So because of that people didn't float as well. Gotcha. So every so often they had to just turn it off and be like, "Are there any bodies down there?" Oh my god. That's awful. Stuart in Rawway, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Yeah. Hey guys, I got uh two stories from the same day. So me and my me and my buddy drive from Rowway. That's a good twohour drive up there. So first thing my budd wants to do, he wants to dive off that high cliff dive thing which was man that thing had to be 25 30. It was it was up there but he said right. So he says he's going to dive and I said I'm diving. So he dives. Of course he busted out both his eard drums because he didn't split the water the correct way. And so he's he's in first he's in the first aid line. We're there maybe 10 minutes. So, I'm just like, well, I'm going to leave you here cuz I'm not wasting that 2-hour drive 10 minutes. So, I go to the Alpine slide and I go to the pimple face kid. I'm like, how do we how do I I want to go faster. How do I go faster on this thing? So, he says, "If you take that handle, you know, you had a handle between your legs." Yeah. You push it all the way forward. Right. He says if you push it all the way I mean really push it forward like really put all your weight on it'll go another half inch beyond what what it's supposed to and you will be you'll have more air under the sled so you'll go faster. Well I said all right this is great. So I am flying down this thing. I mean I am flying. I'm having a great time. I'm laughing the whole time. Then I hit that hair pin and I just I went all I just I flipped it right out of the track. Right out of the track. Right out of the track. And my shoulder, you know, on the cement, you know, the whole way down, you know, like for a good 40t, you know, and so I'm like, "All right, nothing broken. Nothing broken." And so I whatever. I go down the slide and I'm sitting on going waiting for the next line and a girl on my back. She goes, "You know, you're bleeding." I go, "Oh, where?" I look at my shoulder. I've got no skin from like my shoulder to my elbow, you know? It's just gone. Oh my god. Oh, and yet once again, I'm going to repeat myself. I can hear the smile in your voice. Right. I do. Right. He lived. He lived to tell the tale. Yes. I'm telling you, it was about right. It was about the inmates taking over the prison. That's what was fun about Action Park. Sir, I'm glad you're okay now. We're up against the break. Thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We want to hear your Action Park stories because if anyone can explain the nostalgia to me, I will. I don't know. At this point, I'm willing to Venmo someone if someone can make me understand. 1 800283101.5 Daminsky and believe me. Hey, we've been talking about Action Park. Oh, look at look who else lived through it. Belle in Homeell. Hey, you're alive. Oh, hey. I'm Gabrielle, actually. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. We Oh, I'm sorry. We had Belle on the screen. All right, Gabby. I thought we were on like a nickname basis or whatever, but fine. Fine. We'll be formal. Gabrielle, call me Gabby. So, okay. How many times were you at Action Park and how old were you? Oh, I was probably between 17 and 20ish, but yeah, in in I guess I was probably about 18, my senior year of high school and went down there. We used to go there all the time with my friends and the American Gladiators used to go there like a lot just for like their promotions. Remember that show? I do remember that. What the heck were they doing there? They would just do like appearances basically. They would just do appearances and whatnot and they would like challenge the audience. So I challenged one of the gladiators to the joust and I won. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You you went toe-to-toe with a gladiator at at at what event? The joust. At the joust. Okay. So, it's like that big stick with the two um cushions on the end. Y I remember this on the show anyway. In the air. Well, they did that at Action Park, too. And you and you beat an American gladiator. I beat her not once but twice because the first time they said I jumped the gun and I knocked her off and the whole audience went ballistic. Everybody there was like she won. She won. So I did it again. I knocked her off again. They gave me like 20 free tickets and t-shirts. I just won a whole bunch of stuff. It was so cool. It's like my claim to fame. Okay. What's the worst thing that you saw happen there as far as an injury? Um, people bloodied from the alpine slide. I listening to all the stories and man that alpine slide was so fun. So fun. Everything was fun there. It was Should bloody and fun be in the same paragraph? I know Kylie is wondering. Only if you're British. Swing. The cannonball. It was awesome. Wait, wait, wait. Wasn't the cannonball the one that went up? Oh, no. No. That's not the one that went upside down. That's the one that shot you like way over the water. You were like 20 feet over the water and it shot you out of a tube into this ice cold freezing water. It was Why didn't they just shoot you into uh the emergency room? I mean, like that's where you're ending up eventually. Wouldn't that have been more like cost effective? Yeah. No, no, no. It was great. It was so fun. Every single time we went, it was so fun. Kylie, I might be watching the documentary again tonight. Are you any closer to understanding it after this hour? No. I'm happy that Gabby was happy, but I would never. I understood everybody. Gabrielle, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. We're going to have Levon's news in just under 5 minutes on New Jersey 101.5. Well, if you were one of the poor suckers, don't laugh at me. New Jersey chime time is 510. It's the Deinsky and uh you know, I'm just not even going to say my name. Don't listen to me. It was just the It was just the good Lord part. I'm Kylie Moore. It was like what were those old commercials? Thank you, Ray Catina Auto Group. We appreciate you. We love you. We love you. They are great. No, but what what were those I can't remember what those old commercials were for where something goes wrong and then the announcer goes, "You want to get away?" Do you remember those? No. Oh, yeah. But I I hear that in my head right now. Exactly. You want to get away? Can't remember what the hell it was for. Anyway, our phone number is 1800 283101.5. Um, something we're going to talk about later on, at least for a little bit. Uh, I understand that this will be in the six o'clock hour for at least a little bit. Uh, I understand that you'd have to be a certain age. You'd have to be an older person u middle-aged to older uh to have even remembered uh this night 45 years ago, but it is the anniversary of when John Lennon of the Beatles was gunned down um outside of his home. And um obviously this is like you know people the you'd have to be like 50 or older to remember. So it's not just that we're going to be talking about that. It's that I want to talk later on about those where you were when moments. We all have one. That's just it. Even if you're like any age you are. I feel like that was one like okay a lot of people talk about the Kennedy assassination. I was not alive for that. That was before my time. But I was um I was I I was a minor, but I was alive for uh the the John Lennon murder, right? And um the uh the Challenger explosion, things like that. But we'll talk about that later on. In the meantime, hold on, I got to pull this up. I made some notes about this. Okay. Um some So, this guy who had been a listener and he uh I think he said he lives in Maryland now. Um, he asked if we could talk about car prejudices. Oh, and I thought I knew what he meant and I was right because he went on, we had a brief back and forth and he went on to talk about how do people have like a certain make or make and model of a car that they just look at and think bad driver or a certain a certain thing that maybe somebody puts on their car or does to their car and they think bad driver, right? Mhm. And the example that I was given was if it's a Nissan Ultima, they're always a bad driver. Um, was there an explanation why? No. Apparently, just this guy's anecdotal experience. And I mean, and I've got one of those, too, which I'll get to, but his was a Nissan Ultima. If you're driving a Nissan Ultima, if you choose that vehicle, you tend to be a crappy driver. All right. I can see them. Okay. I'm looking admittedly. I have to look up cars. I'm looking at it. I can see how you could think that person might be a little full of themselves. Really? Okay. Yeah. Like I can't even picture one off the top of my head. Actually, I have to look at it. They're like a little up on their high horse. Oh, okay. Yeah. For what's just an Ultima. Yeah. All right. But there's more. Then he says, "A Nissan Ultima, but if it has a potentially suspicious Virginia license plate." And I was like, "What?" Yeah. What does that mean? And he explains that apparently it's very easy to like not have to deeply prove your uh residency nowadays uh to get a plate to get a registration in Virginia or something. I didn't fully understand it because I'm not from there, but apparently he knows this because he's living closer to Virginia and apparently he sees these all the time. We trust his opinion, right? And apparently a lot of people with a Virginia license plate that you have to question whether it's an actual legitimate plate or did they just like fake residency or something like that? It's like, okay. So, so, so then he was up to a Nissan Ultima with a potentially suspicious Virginia license plate. But then this was the cherry on top. You ready for this? I don't know. I didn't even know what this meant. He had to explain it to me. He goes, "A black ice air freshener?" I'm like, "What is a black ice air freshener?" So this guy on Facebook, he says it's one of those, you know how like the typical pine tree air fresheners. Yeah. That would be like usually they're green, but sometimes they might be in other colors, which I didn't even really consciously think about cuz I never use an air freshener. I guess I can picture them white. Sure. Right. Exactly. Right. But usually green. But apparently it's exactly like that. like a pine tree shaped air freshener from the rearview mirror, but they call it black ice when it's just solid black. I never heard of it, but he says whenever they see a black ice pine tree air freshener, it's always a bad driver. So he puts the three together and he says, "Worst driver in the I know, I know. Worst driver in the world is going to be driving a Nissan Ultima with potentially suspicious Virginia license plates and a black ice pine tree air freshener hanging from the rear rear. It's like, whoa, that's a that's a lot to that's a lot to take in. That feels like it was about an X or something. I don't know, right? It seems so oddly specific. Like, how often could the three of those be coming into play? I don't know. The only thing that could make it worse, what? Those drivers who add whatever it is onto their car that make it sound so loud unnecessarily. Oh. Oh, you mean the exhaust system sound like? Yeah. With the with like the fake backfiring. Miss me? Okay. But does that now Now now that's annoying you, but but is that indicative of a bad driver? I think so. Is it? Why? Because those are usually the people who are going a little too fast and they're going in and out throughout the lanes. Are they? In my experience, yes. Or is it just the sound that makes you think they are? Mm- No. Don't Don't man it to me. No. No. No. That is exactly I'm just asking what they are doing. I'm just asking. No. I don't pay as much attention to those cars as you do. I'm going to say no. I'm asking. 80 to 90% of the time. Yes. They drive badly. Yes. Yeah. Okay. They drive recklessly at least at the very least. All right. So, I thought that this was fun and this was kind of like by request like other stations they call in and say, "Hey, can you play Opalite by uh by Taylor here?" Yeah, that's across the hall at PST. This is 1015, baby. Right. At 1015, we'll occasionally get a request. Hey, can you guys talk about something? So, all right, I'll bite. And I think they listen on the app now, of course, but used to be in New Jersey. But anyway, uh, for this person, for this guy, it was a Nissan Ultima Virginia license plate, black air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. What is your personal car prejudice? What kind of car is somebody driving or what might they have on the car that makes you think crappy driver? 1 800283101.5. You might be seeing some of them right now. It is 518. Here's Fast Traffic. Ara Health has a plan. 5:23 with Jeff Deaminsky and Kylie Moore on this Monday evening. We're going to have Levon Putney's news coming up in let's call it 6 minutes. Right now, car prejudices. Let's be honest, we all have one. You see a car and you're like, "Yeah, that's a little sus. What's yours?" Right. Like, like, how can you spot a bad driver by their car? The make, the model, uh something that they've added to their car. Do you think there's something to car color? Is there a car color that you don't trust? Absolutely. I'm Well, okay. Me personally, no. But absolutely, somebody's got that because, okay, that old rumor and I don't really know if it was ever proven or just a myth, but there was this old thing about how red cars got pulled over more often, right? that stemmed from something, whether it was real or just somebody's prejudice. It stemmed from somebody believing that red color cars drove uh worse, you know. So, yeah, I think somebody could even just have a car color that they would uh right that they would peg for a bad driver. I think so, too. Any any super vibrant car color. I'm like, what's going on there? Truck nuts on a car. Bad driver. Or at least an inconsiderate driver. Yes. At the very least. Yeah. Or are they more inconsiderate parkers? I wonder. Oh. Um, I'm going to say both. Both can be true. But what is your car prejudice? How do you spot a bad driver? 1800 283101.5. Annie, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hi. How are you? Hey, we're good, Annie. Hope you're doing well. I'm doing well. So, uh, what is a bad driver to you? How do you spot a bad driver? What's going on with her car? So, I've driven I've lived in New Jersey my whole life and I have to say it has to be someone with a Ruckers magnet and it's usually like a Toyota Corolla or like a Honda Civic. Oo, shots fired at Ruckers. Okay. Um, why? What do you see them doing? Civic. They're switching lanes like crazy, driving slow in the left lane. Um, I just see them doing all types stuff. And whenever it's a bad driver, I just always see a Rucker magnet on it. I don't know what it is. No kidding. Okay. Now, I'm not I'm not denying your experience. I just want to dig deeper into this. Are you or did you go to a school that is Rucker's rival? Is that why you get the bad taste in your mouth when you see a Rucker magnet? Uh, I did not. I actually went to the University of Vermont, but um Oh my god. My My son is in his third year there. No way. Yes. Yes. Wait, that's awesome. Does he like it? Oh yeah, he loves it. He loves Vermont. Oh, yeah. It was like the best four years of my life. When did you graduate? I graduated this May. Oh, congratulations. Oh my god. It's so It's so crazy. You guys probably like cross paths on campus and Oh, we definitely have. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. He was the one with the Ruckers magnet. No, no, no, no. But okay, then that that actually negates anything I was going to say. So, yeah. So, it's not the whole like gh It's not a rivalry, right? You just noticed those are bad drivers. Yeah. No, I just I see it and I know. Well, you would you would love this one then. The other day I saw a guy who first of all the car was red, you know. Okay. Kind of almost you would say scarlet colored. Okay. Scarlet, right? Yep. And he had the Ruters uh magnet. Uh he I think he had a Ruter window cling as well as the magnet and and the and the license plate frame was Ruter's alum. Oh my god. Did he get pulled over? That's awful. Well, that's that's too much. Horrible. No. No, he didn't get pulled over. That you know of. Yeah. You don't know what happened after. Yeah. This was at a red light, so I don't know how poorly he drove once the light turned green. We went different ways. So, yeah. I don't know. Annie, congratulations on graduating. We appreciate you calling Jersey 1.5. All right. And she also mentioned the Ruckers uh Magnet, but mostly on a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic. Huh. I wonder why those. Those are both very popular cars. Mhm. I don't know. Maybe. Well, maybe that's why she's just seen them more often. Maybe. Exactly. Exactly. So, we're talking about a prejudice you have about a certain car or maybe something somebody does to a car. How do you spot a bad driver? 1 800 283 101.5. Jeff and Ringo, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey Jeff. Hey guys. How you doing? Love the show. And I love the topic. Absolutely love the topic. But I'll sum it up for you real quick. I all Subaru drivers are without a doubt the worst. Doesn't matter what color or anything like that, they are definitely going to be the worst. And when I'm talking about a a bad driver, I'm talking about the slow, clueless driving in the left lane, 10 and two. Um, they just went out, they left their house, and they know absolutely what they're doing, where they're going or anything. Then you can throw in the Prius and then of I mean, I have my reasons for all of them. I know why the Subaru drivers are the way they are. Well, why? Um, you mean you mean with what they do or the reason behind what they do? No, just just their whole, you know, characteristics about them. They're usually either liberals or or lesbians uh that drive Subarus, especially like an Outback or one of those things. Okay. Um Okay. Okay. I know you get a kick out of it. Then you got your Prius drivers. Well, you know, they're all typical. They all kind of fall in the same category. Hipster doofuses. They're like a bunch of Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know about you. Like I see a Prius and there the hybrids and I just think hipster doofus. I don't know. Well, exactly. Then there's another category, all white vans. Um, for whatever reason, they're just terrible drivers. I don't know who's driving them or whatever, but any white van on the road is always going to be a Well, you try driving well when you got a kid tied up in the back pedophile, right? It's a white van for God's sakes. There's there's there's no denying it, right? Yeah. You try being the pedophile going, "Don't make me come back there." Yeah. You're so focused on what's going on the back. Exactly. Can't focus on the roads. Right. Jeff, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Getting dark. Getting dark. Hey. Hey. He said it. He said white van. We were all thinking it. Yeah. I don't know if we can condone that all liberals or lesbians are bad drivers, but okay. Or even that just wasn't going to let that one slide. Or or even that that's mostly who owns Subarus. Like that's why I started laughing like I want to see the sales stats on that. But I was never asked with lesbians. Yeah, I was going to say I was like when I bought a Toyota or a Ford, they never asked me like what my sexual preference which way do you sway? Exactly. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't think car dealerships get on that. Hey, but none of this has to make sense. Okay, it's the reason we're calling it a prejudice. You don't have to prove it. You just have to feel it. What kind of car makes you think bad driver or what have they done to the car that makes you think there's a bad driver? 1800 283101.5. Metro Graphics Printing on It is 538 with Jeff Deinsky and Kylie Moore and we want to know your car prejudices at 1800283101.5. Uh let's talk to Kevin in Flemington. Hey Kevin, is there a certain look of a car, a make, model of a car that you just look at and say they got to be a bad driver? Yeah, I feel like this one's not even going to be controversial. Uh Tesla drivers and BMW drivers hands down the worst. Ooh, I share the BMW thing with you. I share the Tesla. Do you? Okay. Well, things the Tesla drivers, they're just slow. Don't use their blinkers or nothing. The BMW drivers, they cut in and out on the highway almost accident all the time. Oh, they're very arrogant. And I mean, I know. And by the way, by the way, for everybody, we know these are generalizations. And we appreciate any of these drivers who are listening to us right now. I'm sure there's someone out there with a BMW who is not this way. But oh yeah, my anecdotal experience, a BMW driver is usually going to be very arrogant, cutting in and out exactly as you described. And you know the old joke, right? How do you tell how do you tell a porcupine from a BMW, Kevin? I don't know this one. I don't either. Oh, on a porcupine, uh, the pricks are on the outside. Oh, that's a good one. And and so Tesla drivers too slow, the BMW drivers are just too manic and too uh too aggressive. Both expensive cars and both unsafe operators all the time. And again, I'm laughing because like I share it myself and yet even I like like like the BMW thing, but even I admit I've got to be wrong sometimes, but I swear to God it feels like I'm right 80% of the time. Yeah, it's I'd have to agree you are. And and the Teslas, Shoot, I am blanking. What's What's the boxy car? The boxy Tesla. Thank you, Kevin. Don't I I don't know if you were a Pokemon person, but don't they look like a pory gun? I don't know that, but it looks like every truck that every four-year-old's ever tried to draw in their life. Yes. Oh, that's actually an amazing way of putting it, Kevin. It looks like a truck I would have drawn. And I say that because I'm a bad drawer. I don't think I've seen I don't think I've seen enough Tesla Cyber Trucks to know how they drive. Like, do they attract bad drivers or normal drivers? Like they're so ugly. I still don't trust the driver who would pick that. Well, that Well, there's that, right? Unless they're listening, right? That's just a status thing. That's just a money option. Like, you can't tell me those things are actually practical trucks. I don't know. They're just so damn ugly. I They're so ugly. It's like, what are you trying to prove by driving that thing? They look like Legos. They could be running me over in the street and I'm going to be thinking more about how ugly it is rather than that he's a bad driver. It couldn't be a Porsche. Kevin, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Thank you. Uh Chris in Browns Mills, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey, how you guys doing? Hey Chris, we're good. Hey. Uh, so I just want to talk real quick about I'm very surprised you guys didn't know about the lesbians in the Subaru thing. I also drive a Subaru. I drive a Subaru and I have a sticker on the back of my Subaru that says, "Yes, this is a Subaru. No, I'm not a lesbian." No. Oh my god. So, so that so that silly trope is that is that well known about Subaru ownership that they actually made a bumper sticker about it. Yeah. So many of my friends bust my chops all the time that I have a lesbian car. So, I thought it's hilarious to put a sticker on. And Chris, to your credit, Jill Myra from the traffic department also said that she heard this before. Her daughter was busting her chops when she got a Subaru. So, we're the only ones who didn't know this about Subarus. It feels like Jeff and I are sitting here like, "Did anyone know apparently Santa Claus is associated with Christmas?" And we're like, "Yeah, right." I think I would have heard about Santa Claus. Yeah, we feel kind of dumb. Oh, that's funny. Okay. Well, well, Chris, while we have you while we have you, do you have a certain make or model of car or maybe something they put on their car that makes you think they're going to be a bad driver or not? Really? I get I get the BMW thing you guys are talking about. I kind of agree with it even though I have a BMW too. My weekend car. But you're the one good guy that I was mentioning who doesn't cut people. I do catch myself driving like an [ __ ] when I cannot use that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can't use that word. Sorry. Sorry, Chris. But you know, we got the gist of what you were going to say. Chris, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. 543. Chris, it was dumped. It's fine. It's not going to be in rewind. All right. So, but no, like as he was saying, I can't believe we're the only two blanking people on the planet who didn't hear about this trope, right? I didn't know. I had no idea about the association with Subarus. Who knew? Are there other things like that? Is there some car that is supposed to appeal to gay men? What do people say about Toyota Camry drivers? That they're beautiful. What? Oh, because you drive one. Oh, please. That took you way too long. Yeah, I just I wasn't making the I wasn't making the connection. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Uh, all right. If you have one of these uh driving prejudices, like a car prejudice, uh, you tell us what is it? What car do you look out for? Is there a thing that they can do to the car that you just like spot like, okay, tinted windows. Does the person who tints their windows does the person who Oh, here's a good one. You know those um you know those license plate covers that they put over and they claim it's just to keep it clean, but really it's to um it's to try to not let the uh photo uh flash take their picture at a toll booth. Th those covers, would they be a bad driver by nature of trying to cover up their license plate? They're certainly untrustworthy. You would think. Right. Right. So things like that. How do you spot a bad driver? 1 800 283101.5. Just wanted to mention that portions of the show are brought to you by Center for Natural Health and Rehabilitation.

Do you ever see certain drivers on the road where you're like just based on the car type, based on the car color, based on anything that they have on the car, you're like, I don't like this driver. We want to know your car prejudices at 1800 283101.5. Lenor in Burlington City. Hi. Hi. How you guys doing? We're good. We're good. What uh what do you spot on the road and you just think that's going to be a bad driver? Well, not so much a bad driver. I just want to say that I think these Tesla trucks, they look like a giant door wedge going down the road on They do look like a door wedge. Yeah. Yeah. Like a doors stopper. Yep. Yeah. Even Even the cars. Now, I have no idea what the interior of the vehicle looks like. It might be great. I don't know. But it is the stupidest looking vehicle I think I have ever seen. I feel like inside I feel like Chewbacca is inside there. I feel like a Star Wars characters. I feel like I would trust it more if that were true, right? You know what? It's almost like like a rodent trap. I think a rodent would be in something that looks like that. Okay. All right. So, when you see one of those coming down the street, you're not trusting that driver just based on taste alone? No, they seem uh there there are a few that drive around here in town. um cars uh and the trucks. Uh they obey the speed limit, they obey the signs, everything, but I just do not think it's an attractive vehicle, and I don't know why anyone would want it. I do not like it, Sam. I am. Lenor, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Al in South Jersey, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hey guys, how you doing? Hey, listen. I just want to address a few of the things you mentioned. Uh, I'm forming law enforcement and I always noticed back when I started in the 80s why we gave women uh who have some difficulty driving the largest vehicle. Back then, everybody got a station wagon and we expect them to push this thing around town loaded with kids and dogs and groceries. We gave them the biggest thing and then we asked them to parallel park it. I was very happy uh when the minivans came along cuz the accidents dropped off along quickly. Uh, and as for mentioning of what vehicles to look out for, I heard the white van before. Uh the white van thing is definitely a thing, especially if it has nothing on it, especially if it has no windows. Uh usually occupied by immigrant workers. There's probably three or four more of them sitting in the back on top of a spackle bucket. So that's something that they look for for a safety issue. Uh so if they get into an accident, they're not getting hurt or killed. Uh as far as a-hole indicators, uh it's always been a prepoundonderance of uh auxiliary lighting. Uh, in the 80s it was the driving lights and a few other things, but now you got those big honking light bars and that big wide beam of lights between the headlights and maybe a couple mounted on top of the hood right in front of the windshield. Uh, as far as vehicles you look out for, I'll give you the number one thing you look out for. Anybody driving a U-Haul, you stay away from them on the highway like it's the plague. Why? Just because they're probably not used to the dimensions. Exactly. inexperienced. It's an oversized vehicle. If it's windy out, God help you. And then it's even worse, the double whammy. If they're towing something, chances are they've never towed anything in their life. He's got a very good point. Probably a one-time tower. He's got a good point and certainly the insight. Also, I love a good use of the word honken. Al, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Leon is coming up in just under four minutes. The all-American Ford in New Jersey chime time.

I have a weird question and this is because of it being the anniversary of a sad day, but this is really something that only uh people on the older end would even remember. I was a kid. Uh not a little kid, but a kid still uh when this had happened. Um today is the god it's a long time. The 45th anniversary of the murder of John Lennon. It happened today, December 8th, 1980. And it's it's kind of eerie how much I remember that. I mean, it's like crystal clear. And I do think that that night. I feel like it's one of those where you were when moments that people talk about and I realize, you know, younger people aren't going to obviously remember it, but I think that every generation has one of these. I don't care if you're, you know, Gen Z. I mean, everybody's got something that was kind of like a uh a universal experience and it was so indelibly etched in your mind. I mean, 9/11 was this for for I think all of us, no matter your age, if you were alive and aware, then you absolutely remember where you were when you heard what was happening on 911. That was one of them. But do you have one of those? And I don't care how young or old you are. What was one of those where you were when moments? How much do you remember about it? 1 800283101.5. Because uh with John Lennon, I remember uh I was a kid. I was at my mom's place. It was after my mom and dad had divorced and I was staying up. This is what a nerd I was. I was watching the 11 o'clock news because you know I was I was a news nerd even when I was like five. Oh wow. No, I was a little Jeffy. No, I was such a news nerd. It was very odd. I know it was very very odd. But I mean I was older than that when that happened with when Lennon happened. But I'm watching the news and I can't remember who was on I know it was channel 4. I I don't remember if it was Chuck Scarboro working that late or or who the anchors were. I used to remember, but that's how long ago it was now. But very near the beginning of that newscast at 11:00, they had breaking news that there had been a shooting. And the way they kept phrasing it over and over was that somebody who appeared to look like they were so careful about this. They did not want to say it was John Lennon because a they did not know. B I think they didn't want to cause the rumor if it was not him. But they just kept phrasing it as someone who resembles John Lennon was shot at the Dakotas where John Lennon lives and was being rushed to the hospital. And like that's all anybody knew. And they kept repeating that every couple of minutes. And you know, you're hanging in there until 11:30 when uh when it's going to sign off. And uh and even at the end, you still never got any solid update. And so I went to bed by like 11:30, not really knowing. And uh and I was a little young to be like a huge Beatles fan. It wasn't even that. But I mean, this was I mean, everybody knew who this was, you know? So I so I go to bed and I had a phone in my room. I was lucky. I had a phone in my room. And in the morning, early in the morning, my phone starts ringing, which it never did. And my phone's ringing and it's my friend Frank. And Frank's like, "Hey, did you hear?" It's like, "What? They?" He said, "They killed John Lennon." Oh. And I was like, "Yeah." I mean, it was a he, but it was just one of those expressions. It was It was just an expression that I just I never forgot. I remember the exact words and it was they they killed John Lennon and uh and he was kind of like shocked and I just started following the news and uh I think it was a school day. Now you know here's the part I don't remember. I don't remember if it was a school day, but I think it was. But I do remember that going into that weekend, uh, it seemed like almost every radio station in New York City, no matter what they normally did, dropped what they normally did and played Beatles music. Now, I know Trev did that. He was on the air. I Well, yeah. And Trev is a huge, huge Beatles fan. huge fan of John Lennon and uh and I'm sure that Trev will probably have something to say about this coming up. It comes on at seven, but I don't know for sure which stations did. So, I'm just saying this as an example. I'm not saying I'm right, but like let's say if there was a station that um was hanging on to like the disco era or something that was like left over by 1980, they dropped everything and they were playing Beatles music. I want to say that there was maybe a country music station, which you would never think would do it. And I want to say that that may have been one of them that like dropped what they were doing and played Beatles music all weekend and everybody was talking about it. It was like the collective conscience. It was so crazy the days that followed. I mean, they were so huge. How could you not? They being the Beatles. How could you not? Right. Right. Yeah. And it's just it's funny like I remember exactly the look of the TV where I was sitting in my mom's living room like exactly the layout of the furniture, like which seat I had on the sofa watching the TV, how I went to bed, how I turned it off, just everything. Like I can picture it as if I'm like looking at a photograph. It's just weird. But not everything. Like I'm not sure if it was Chuck Scarboro, but but most of it I can remember. And I've got several things like that. And like people older than me, they might remember being like a little kid. I mean, I was not alive for it, but they might remember being a little kid when say uh John F. Kennedy was killed. That was supposed to be one of the biggest where you were when moments. Princess Diana. That was another one. Right. Right. There there have been so many of these. But do you have one of those that stands out the most? Do you have a certain where you were when moment that is just like burned in your memory and you can picture exactly where you were, what you were doing, who you were with when a certain big historic event happened. What do you have? 1 800 283 101.5 618. Here's Fast Traffic. All right, this is Eric Scott celebrating small New Jersey 101.5. Uh, long, long ago. a sad anniversary if you're over a certain age. Uh 45 years ago tonight was um when Mark David Chapman uh shot and killed John Lennon as he was uh coming home at the Dakotas in uh New York City. And uh for for a lot of people it was one of those where you were when moments. We want to know do you remember that night where you were and exactly what you were doing? But what about other things too? Like Kylie, you mentioned Princess Die or the Challenger disaster or the OJ chase or the OJ verdict or 911 or all of the Right. All of these things. Do you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing for certain events? 1 800 283 101.5. There's another one that I think is fairly universal, but I people are on hold, so I want to get to them first. Jim in White House Station. You're on New Jersey. Want a 1.5. Hey Jim. Hello. Hello Jeff. Hello Kylie. Hi. Um I I remember exactly where I was. Uh I was 24 years old. I was in Lake of Pacong. I was watching Monday Night Football. And uh back then Howard Kosell was alive and I were watching the game. All of a sudden, they stopped playing the game and Howard Coell goes, "This is much more important than a football game." And that's how I found out. This is John Lennon, you mean, right? Yes. And I also remember JFK. And I also remember everything else you said. OJ and Princess that die. So that means I'm old. Since that's all right. Since neither one of us were there for it, Jim. Um, where were you when you found out about JFK? What was it like? I was by myself watching Monday Night Football. I lived with my buddies in Lake of Pacong at the time. What? And uh what? And no, JFK, she said. Oh, JFK. Yeah, JFK. Back then I back then I was probably eight years old and I was home um from school sick and I was watching cartoons. Wow. And all of a sudden Yeah. And then all of a sudden all of a sudden the cartoons went away and they told us about JFK. So they broke in. Yeah, they broke in with the news. Was it literally um I mean I realized there was more than one network. It wasn't the famous Walter Kronite clip, was it? Are you talking about JFK? Yes. Um I was only eight, so I don't know. You not sure? Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I was watching cartoons because I was homesick. Uh but all of a sudden, you know, I was kind of young to to to to go through that crap, but uh I watched the whole thing and my heart dropped then and my heart dropped with Lennon also. Yeah. Back with back with the Kennedy assassination. I don't know this. I wonder just like what what happened with September 11th where a lot of kids started getting sent home from school. I wonder if that happened when JFK was assassinated. I wonder if anybody came and picked their kids up from school. Oh wow. I don't know. I mean, I realized there would be a very, very different reason to do it with 9/11 because no one was really sure what was going to happen next, what was going to be targeted next, but I just mean because it was such a national sadness. I wonder if any kids were sent home from school or not. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Also, I feel like I have a bit of a warped sense because I was here in New Jersey for 911 and, you know, I had classmates who had parents who worked in the towers. Oh my gosh. So, yeah. I I just have a completely warped sense of how anyone else's experience was. Right. Jim, thank you so much for calling New Jersey 101.5. Yeah. So, we're talking about this, you know, not not to be confusing. I mean, I brought it up because of the anniversary of the sad tragic killing of John Lennon. It was 45 years ago tonight. But I just I feel like that was one of those many where you were when moments. Um, and there were many of those. Uh, can you think of a certain one that stands out? You remember exactly where you were, what you were doing? 1 800283 101.5. Robert in Bordon Town, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Uh, hi guys. Um, same same year, 1980. Uh, but earlier in the year in February, uh, I was a senior in high school. I was playing on uh varsity basketball team. We were playing our rivals and all of a sudden they stopped the game and they announced that the USA hockey team had just beaten the Russians in the Olympics. Oh, a positive one. Okay. The miracle on ice. They they stopped the game. And I'm telling you, we're playing our rivals, which was, you know, we hated each other. Mhm. And when they announced that, we're all high-fiving each other. Nice. They they stopped the game. It must have stopped for like five minutes. The whole crowd was chanting USA. Oh my god. For like minutes. It went on for minutes. The chant. Yeah. And And uh I don't know why that's the one that got me that gave me chills. Yeah. That that that gave me chills as well. I could just kind of hear it. I can imagine it. I uh I went to Lake Placid probably about maybe 10 12 years ago and went to the Olympic Ice Center. Mhm. And and they let you go walk right onto the onto the ice. And I I was balling my eyes out. No kidding. Yeah. Brought it back. I'm standing right where these guys were playing. And uh yeah, it was it was incredible. And back in 1980, they make this announcement. The whole place is going nuts. Even your rival team, you're high-fiving each other. And yet then like then you had to go and finish the game. How does that happen? We did. It was like uh it it it was in the third quarter maybe. I you know it's hard to remember but uh we were blowing them out so it it Oh, even better night though. It didn't matter much. Yeah. I think I think they probably would have just rather said, "Okay, you kicked our butts. Now we got good news. Let's go home." Yeah. Yeah. Like almost like a celebratory mercy rule. A one-of-a-kind celebratory mercy rule. Oh, that's a sweet story. They don't all have to be downers. Robert, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. Yeah, they don't. I mean, if it's something positive like that, the miracle on ice. Absolutely. But yeah, I'm thinking of like, you know, the OJ chase, the Challenger explosion in the 80s, uh, Princess Die, things like that, or the sad death of John Lennin 45 years ago tonight. I have two other celebrity deaths that I want to mention, okay, but we'll get to them after the news, not going to keep on waiting. All right. So, where you were when moments 1 800283101.5 a new exclusive art I know this might not be a universal one. Okay. But this is one for you. Absolutely. Yeah. I already know what you're going to say from the music obviously. The death of Tom Petty. I don't Yeah, I'm sorry that for me, right, that it's not universal because I don't remember where I was or what I was doing. You were here. We got the news while I was here in the building. Okay. And I know this because this was when I was producing nights. This was when I was working with Trev. Yeah. And the story broke while I was on the way here. So, it was Okay. I left I left Freehold. Everything was a-ok. Okay. Yeah. And then I remember I was specifically at the stoplight. You know the stoplight just before the 7-Eleven. Oh, you remember exactly where you were. See, that's what fascinates me about these stories. Yes, I do. So, it's because I was at a stoplight that I was able to look down at my phone and I saw the family group chat blowing up. Oh, yeah. Because your family, big petty fans, your family, your mom, huge petty fans. Like my mom also would tell you, she remembers where she was. She was at the office and she was full on sobbing because one of her co-workers came up to her about like, "Oh, hey, did you hear the Oh, no. Oh, this really affected you." Like my mom looked up like fully in tears. Oh, yeah. Almost like almost like family almost like family had passed away. Well, I've I've told the story before. I'll tell it again very quickly. My mom Tom Petty was her celebrity hall pass to the point where I I growing up thought at one point he would be my stepfather. She's b right right when you're little you're thinking you don't know how the world works. You're thinking yeah she's bound to meet Tom Petty one day and he might be my stepdaddy. I was like I don't know Gary Moore seems like a great father and I can't wait to see him every other Christmas but Tom Petty [Laughter] he will one day be daddy. That would be the cool dad. Yeah, he'll be the one. Yeah, exactly. All the heartbreakers come over for Thanksgiving. So, so no, actually like anytime I'm at that stoplight, I am like this is where I found out Tom Petty passed. Uh well, actually where he was about to pass cuz remember there was a weird few hours where they were like, "He's dead. He's not. He's dead." Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. It was like on, off, on. Yeah. Yep. There's another musical artist I want to get to, but I don't want to leave Lann on hold. Okay. So, do you have one of those where you were when and knew exactly what you were doing uh when a big thing happened? 1 800283101.5. Lann in Manchester. Hi, you're on New Jersey 101.5. Hello. Um, I remember being home watching the Olympics and what year it was, I honestly don't remember, but the terrorists broke into the Olympic village and kidnapped um either the wrestlers or the bodybuilders of one of the countries and was assassinating them. I remember this. I was really little, so I understood not a lot about it, but they Yeah. They were covering this on live TV. Yes. Yes. I was glued to the television. I was like, "Oh my god, watching everything. They're out on the balconies and Oh my Yeah. Yep. I remember that quite well." I want to say this was sometime in the 70s, but I I don't know exactly where, but Yeah. But Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I remember gosh, I think it was, it's so crazy. I remember being in my living room, same thing, watching the TV coverage like for hours, and and there was like and there was like a soldier or something, I believe, armed and they were seeing him like slowly moving like like the camera is showing this on live TV slowly balcony. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. And right at this one moment, right, my cousin was outside and started banging on the door to get in on the living room door, like on the front door, scared the hell out of everybody because it was like we were watching a horror movie transfixed with this live terrorist coverage and then you heard bang bang bang bang like oh my god, you got the jump scare. Yeah, we got the jump scare. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. No, that's a good one. Lannne, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. If you have one of these, where you were when you remember exactly who you were with, what you were doing, h God, even like where you were sitting, where you were in a room, it's just like indelibly in your memory for a certain big event. What was one of those for you? 1800283 101.5. Okay, the downer one. And then I have a weirdly positive one. The downer one, the one I've been talking about, the musical artist. I feel like for some reason everyone remembers where they were, whether they were a fan or not. When Michael Jackson died. Look, I had that written down. Wait, hold on. Hold that up one more time. Oh. Oh, you'll never read it. It looks like again. It looks like the Declaration of Independence. Yeah, I know. You will never read that. Okay. I know. I know. Besides, it's not from all day long. It's notes from all day long. But no, I wrote that down as well. It was 2009 and and that was one of mine as well when Michael Jackson died. So, what about you? Where were you? What were you What were you doing when you got the word? Well, hold on. Pop quiz. Who else died that day? Oh. Oh, I used to It always gets overshadowed. It always gets overshadowed. I I used to know this. I can't think. As soon as you say it, I will know it. I know. I know the date. Well, I don't know the date. I know the month. I know it was June of 2009. It was a female, right? It was a female. No, Jeff, it was a female. Here's a hint. You pro you probably had a poster of her in your childhood bedroom. Farah Faucet. Yes, there you go. Everyone always forgets that Farah Faucet died that day as well. Well, because it was Farah Faucet and she wasn't right. She wasn't big anymore. Yeah, I'm going to pause you right there. It was Farah Faucet. No, I understand. She was hot. I That's not the point. I'm just saying. Of course, the Michael Jackson story is going to get more ink anyway. All that to say, I remember I was at my friend Vera's I was in my friend Vera's backyard. She was You had a friend named Vera? Mhm. Why? Why is that the weird part? Because like Hold on. Because you're in your 30s. Yeah. And you had a friend in 2009 named Vera. Was she like 75? She was very religious. Does that count? Vera. Okay. Just not a just not a normal name for a young girl. Yeah. A bunch of a bunch of my high school friends. We were in her backyard. I want to say either in or by her pool. By her pool. We were not in the pool. And we're all like, "Oh, Michael Jackson died." And I was like, "Guys, Farah Faucet died." And still years later. I am still angry that people don't remember it. Oh, this was personal for you. Yeah. Oh, you thought that was the bigger story. All right. All right. I Yeah. I've never been a MJ fan, but no. But we're talking about the where you were when moment. 1800 283101.5. Brenda in Lakewood. Hi. Hi. How are you? Just a quick comment on an earlier. It was the Munich Olympics of 1972 where the Israeli wrestling team uh was kidnapped. However, good memory. Go. Yep. Um my uh memory was going to work on 911 and at that time I was in Brooklyn and you take the train and it g and it goes on the bridge to go to Manhattan. So here you're in the tunnel, you get out, sunlight, you're on the bridge, and we see the twin towers, both of them burning, and we sort of all went to the doors and the windows, and we looked at it, and we thought it was a Japanese movie me movie because one tower made sense, but this was beyond sense. Yeah. Once you hit tower two, you know, it's believe what our eyes were seeing, right? Right. You couldn't process. I made I made it to work and we had a TV for conferences with our New Jersey office in the conference room and everybody would just go silently into the conference room, watch the bu the building burning and just not say a word and go back to their desk and you know every while come in and then all of a sudden the it went blank because the tower collapsed. Oh yeah. And then you couldn't go home. Right. Because transit wasn't working. Oh, yeah. Everything was chaos. You couldn't even make a cell phone call for the most part. No. Everything was jammed. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. But out the door and seeing both towers burning and going, "Uh, okay. They're making a movie." Because it just it didn't process as much. No, I could. Any other time you would have seen something like that, it would have been in movies. That makes total sense. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. Brenda, thank you for calling New Jersey 101.5. If we want to know your where you were when moments at 1 800283101.5 Jeff Deinsky, you know, one thing about New Jersey, we New Jersey 101.5. Uh the OJ chase, man. I was in my 20s. I remember I was young in my 20s and uh where were you? Where was I? I was in Lynen Pizza back when Lynen Pizza was in the strip mall that was part of Pathmark. Back when Pathmark was on St. George's AV in Lyndon and I was in there with a friend of mine named Bill and uh I remember exactly where we were sitting. I remember exactly where the TV was on the counter. I Oh, I remember it like indelibly. I remember it was the two young guys and the older I think uncle standing there who work there. We would always go in there drunk and uh yeah, they always had a problem with us, but we were all united that night. I appreciate the honesty. Yeah, I'm being honest. Yeah, I mean I remember which side of the table I was sitting on it. It's just crazy how you remember certain events. Michael in Medford, you're on New Jersey 1.5. Yeah. Hi. Uh what I remember is the landing on the Hudson. Oh, with uh Sully. Yeah. And all of a sudden I I'm I'm watching TV and I see the plane in the middle of the Hudson River and people standing on the wings and uh you know the tugboats coming and everybody picking the people up and nobody died. So that was a great day. I don't remember what year that was. I'm going to say 2010 or 11. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. That's kind of like what I'm guessing. Yeah, I'm looking it up. I remember I remember another one. Yeah. When uh Lee Harvey Arms was shot. Ah, real. Oh, did you Now I know that was on live TV. That was That was a the first murder on TV. So, did you see it live or did you just see the playback of it over and over? No, I guess I saw the playback. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I wasn't alive for that. But I was not born yet.
