- 0:09Speaker 1: let's talk about the Tri State area. You know you're
- 0:14Speaker 1: born and raised New Jersey. Yes, I've been in New
- 0:16Speaker 1: Jersey for thirty years. Yeah, Kristen's from New Jersey. In fact,
- 0:19Speaker 1: everybody on the show is from New Jersey pretty much.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Am I from New Jersey now at this point? Yeah,
- 0:24Speaker 1: I've lived here thirty years. But New Jersey came up
- 0:27Speaker 1: in the top five hated states. Yeah, that's rude. I
- 0:31Speaker 1: know where are these people, Let's talk to them.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I guess people think we're rude. I don't know what
- 0:36Speaker 2: it is faced on absolutely, but the most hated states
- 0:41Speaker 2: on this survey. Number one was California, followed by Florida, Texas,
- 0:46Speaker 2: and then New Jersey and New York.
- 0:48Speaker 1: So four, five Jersey, New York hated states. And we
- 0:52Speaker 1: don't know for sure what makes them hated, Yeah, but
- 0:55Speaker 1: we can only guess. I mean, I.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Think we get a bad rap. I think people, I
- 1:00Speaker 2: think we're going to be rude and we're absolutely not right.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I think, you know what I think, let me defend
- 1:05Speaker 1: Jersey here, because I'm not gonna lie. When I came
- 1:07Speaker 1: to visit New York for the first time ever in
- 1:10Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five, I was fourteen years old. I flew
- 1:13Speaker 1: into Newark. And when you fly into Newark you see
- 1:17Speaker 1: the stacks of steam.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah, you do, and you think what and there is
- 1:21Speaker 2: that odor along the turnpikes.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's just a small snapshot, though. I mean
- 1:25Speaker 1: after that, it really lives up to its name. To me,
- 1:28Speaker 1: the Garden State. It's green, it's beautiful. Property taxes are high,
- 1:32Speaker 1: but other.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Than that, that's it. So that's one of the factors.
- 1:35Speaker 2: People say, the traffic. We'll give you that. Property taxes
- 1:39Speaker 2: are super high, and we're very congested. So if you
- 1:42Speaker 2: were thinking of this part of Jersey here around New
- 1:46Speaker 2: York City, it does make me crazy too. We're super congested.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Did you ever hear from friends or family back in
- 1:51Speaker 1: the day like why are you living in Jersey when
- 1:53Speaker 1: New York is right there? Yeah? Like why are you
- 1:55Speaker 1: in the shadow? Just go to New York. I know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: it's like the biggest city in the world, the greatest
- 1:59Speaker 1: thing there, it is.
- 2:01Speaker 2: But where you are right there, right and That's the
- 2:04Speaker 2: reason I'm right there in New Jersey because I can
- 2:06Speaker 2: afford it. It used to be able to. It's like
- 2:08Speaker 2: getting harder and harder. But New Jersey, like as far
- 2:12Speaker 2: back as I can remember, was like the butt of
- 2:14Speaker 2: all the jokes.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And I remember watching the news and thinking, why do
- 2:18Speaker 2: they only do New York stories? Why do not they
- 2:20Speaker 2: do New Jersey stories. We're always like in the shadow
- 2:23Speaker 2: of New York.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I remember Joe Piscopo doing a skit on SNL like
- 2:27Speaker 1: in the eighties, I'm from Jersey, You're from Jersey. Hah,
- 2:29Speaker 1: Like they kept making that's all it was.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just being from Jersey was a joke, right, And.
- 2:33Speaker 1: They would call it the armpit of the Tristate area
- 2:35Speaker 1: because you're tucked in right there with New York.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And I don't know as tired of it.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Kids, So New Jersey number four. Now we have to
- 2:41Speaker 1: defend New York. New York.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's always Oh, people aren't friendly, they're not helpful.
- 2:46Speaker 2: If you if you need directions in New York City,
- 2:49Speaker 2: people will help you right away, correct, Like walking down
- 2:53Speaker 2: the street. I see it all the time. I'll help
- 2:54Speaker 2: people all the time, right, I don't know where that
- 2:57Speaker 2: comes from either.
- 2:58Speaker 1: I think I've told this story before, but I took
- 3:00Speaker 1: my dad to a Yankee game back in the nineties
- 3:02Speaker 1: and my dad and I were like on the I
- 3:05Speaker 1: don't know, we were kind of up high maybe row
- 3:07Speaker 1: we were in the lower section, but like row thirty. Well,
- 3:10Speaker 1: it was the eighth inning and the Yankees were winning
- 3:12Speaker 1: big and people were leaving. Yeah, so my dad and
- 3:15Speaker 1: I went from the thirtieth row to the first row
- 3:17Speaker 1: and so we're sitting there to watch the last inning
- 3:20Speaker 1: and my dad reaches for his wallet and realizes it's
- 3:22Speaker 1: not there, and he's like, oh my god. And then
- 3:25Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like two minutes later, a guy
- 3:27Speaker 1: taps his shoulder and goes, sir, I saw you get
- 3:30Speaker 1: up and your wallet fell out of your back pocket.
- 3:32Speaker 1: And my dad goes, I cannot wait to tell my
- 3:35Speaker 1: friends in Virginia about how nice people are here, because
- 3:39Speaker 1: it it's a bad rap, you know that would you
- 3:41Speaker 1: wouldn't think that would happen. You lose your wallet at
- 3:43Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, right, You're never going to see it again.
- 3:46Speaker 1: But somebody tapped him on the shoulder and game as wallet.
- 3:48Speaker 2: We have good, honest people here.
