New Jersey

No, it was kind of crazy on draft day.

Again, you know, I think it was New Jersey told me they were going to pick me in the fifth or sixth round.

And back then the first two rounds were on Friday night and the rest of the rounds were Saturday.

I was still sleeping because it ended up, I think I was the, I don't know, maybe the sixth pick of the second day.

Okay.

There's a scene in the movie where Reno and New Jersey, that's Jeff Goldblum's character's name, awesome, go through a room with a watermelon and a machine, really out of place.

Reno says, I'll explain it later.

In the Blu-ray audio commentary, filmmakers explained that they had a confrontational relationship with one of the producers.

Yeah.

Yes.

Because New Jersey isn't...

Like, Jeff Goldblum does have a real name.

I don't, you know.

Like, I would assume New Jersey will do whatever they have to to sign him, obviously.

If he wants to go to New Jersey next year, he'll do that.

Right.

And they'll give him the money.

Markstrom is not Bobrovsky.

Scares me.

But again, Markstrom's not playing behind New Jersey.

Today is Saturday, September 5th, 2026, just six days before the 25th anniversary of a tragic and pivotal day in our nation's history.

On September 11th, 2001, 19 men from the Middle East commandeered passenger planes out of Boston, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., and used them to slam into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon.

Heroes on a fourth plane prevented it from reaching a fourth American target.

The U.S. was brought to its knees.

My name is Wheelchair Rick.

Today we got a special guest coming to us all the way from the great state of New Jersey.

But before we get to him, you know how we do it on this show.

Let's go ahead and roll our good old-fashioned

Dance? Dance.

I want to go dancing with my daughter.

I did not expect that answer from, not from New Jersey.

Not from a guy like

Like the basic

Jersey girl at one point.

This is a closer city.

I'm sure that's enough for some people.

yeah,

yeah.

Kim and I went to the St. Joan of Arc in Marlton, New Jersey's carnival on Saturday.

It was the last day of their carnival.

Uh, that is about it.

Uh, other than that, um, we're just going to keep kind of plugging along here when it comes to grinding out New Jersey, because I want Brian Szymanski to come in hand, deliver my battleship, New Jersey.

i'm hoping they have something up their sleeve and like ryan's a commander or something

yeah i'd like that too uh

So there's probably some type of Moby-Poby, roly-poly bullshit that he has to conform to because...

Yeah, I would think, minimum, he himself could go there, record the lines, and say funny things about the ship and stuff.

He may not be able to say, hi, I'm Ryan Szymanski, curator of the New Jersey Maritime Museum and Memorial.

He may not be able to say that, you know, bar for bar, but I think he could, you know, say whatever he says in his videos and just spew facts about the New Jersey.

drop.

Speaking of fall offs and drops, the New Jersey Devils.

Jack Hughes, he just can't stay healthy.

Healthy Jack Hughes is their best player by so much.

The-

Not the New Jersey one.

They have another Devil's Tree?

William, the Florida one.

I had no idea.

Yes, they do.

So we have, as you might imagine based on our reaction, we have our own Devil's Tree here in New Jersey, as we investigated in episode 140, New Jersey Ghost Hunting.

Hell yeah.

Trust me, that honeymoon phase will go away quickly.

Let's go to Alex in Totowa, New Jersey.

Hey, Alex.

What's going on, guys? How are you? Good.
