I’ll sometimes try to listen just to see what sort of ridiculous nonsense they’re talking about here and there, but I end up just getting pissed off. Dennis and Judy are just about as bad as Spadea, too. It’s just a constant stream of dogwhistles and misinformation. I constantly consider calling in and trolling the hell out of them but I know they’d immediately just cut me off after they realize I’m not one of their typical braindead boomer fuckwit daily listeners.

Haven't been there in almost 15 years. It's just too far away for my lazy ass to get up at 5am on a Saturday.

Pretty much whatever the left likes his job is to disagree with it that's how he makes his money

Why would I want to listen to a guy that sounds like a used car salesman?

I met him doing film/video work as an employee of a contractor when he was running for whatever bullshit office 20 years ago in Princeton. Can confirm he is what you would get if you crossbred a butt plug and a bag of dicks.

💯
The ripple effect is that many of the drivers stuck behind them get pissed off and impatient, which in turn primes them to drive like dicks. I would wager that a lot of the tailgaters, weavers, and shoulder-huggers drive like this because of some moron doing 10 under in the passing lane.

It's also been easy for them to do that because their audience has been dwindling and now it's basically poor blue collar and the elderly that listen.

They always leaned a bit right but it went hard when that fascist propagandist Bill Spadea joined.

You should check out their Facebook page. 95% of the comments are from racist ass MAGA cultists repeating the same bullshit ad nauseam. I’m not old enough to really remember but at what point did that station take such a hard right turn?

I definitely never thought I would say this about a radio station, but WFMU has so greatly improved my life. Love it so much.

WFMU is the answer. You may have to search, but there is a show for everyone on the app - which is definitely worth having. 91.1 on the airwaves, and wake & bake with clay pigeon every weekday from 6-9am is my personal favorite for a live morning show with music. I hope someone newly discovers this radio show and is as grateful as I was when I found it. Enjoy!

I don’t want the windmills off shore either, but when Spadea and the republicans claim they’re against the windmills because of their love for the whales it’s a real eye roller.

Reply to comment by Legitimate_Page in Whale deaths exploited in 'cynical disinformation' campaign against offshore wind power, advocates say by hypoboxer
I understand. I have no skin in the game. I voted for politicians (albeit not much of a choice) to best represent my ideals so I don’t have to spend time making these kinds of decisions. I fully support the installation of renewable energy and the eventusl switchover from fossil fuels to clean energy. I honestly don’t really care what happens here, but I’d be curious to know how offshore wind turbines would affect the value of property on the shore and the tourism industry in the summer. It’s a major part of the state’s economy.

I was a registered republican until 2009. I began listening to Siriusxm radio. David something and then Mark Levin would on while I drove 2 hours every weekend. The terms began bubbling there like Marxist which was used as a coded way for saying "I hate that our president is black". I should have left the party sooner when in the 2008 GOP primary l, they allowed birthers to be speak at the RNC convention. Then the tea party gang showed up, and they were obnoxious, but a minority.
Hot take, nearly all politicians are corrupt power hungry self serving windbags.
I began to cope in 2016 and hope that maybe some form of healthcare plan would actually be produced. It would have guaranteed multiple GOP terms of they had pulled it off. But they were proven to have zero policies and had no idea how to govern. I then looked back and tried to remember when the GOP was able to govern at a state level or national level where fear wasn't a main driving force. I'm no war hawk (like both GWB and Hillary) but the moment the prominent faces of the GOP turned on McCain and ridiculed his service...that was irredeemable for me. The tea party gang had grown and taken over the GOP. We now live in a world where Joe Biden is called a Marxist, which is insane for anyone using their memory. When objectively, he's more of a pre-Newt as speaker moderator republican from the early 1990s. It's a crazy time.
The democrat's largest issue over the last 20 years has been messaging.

Reply to Any recycling centers near the Jersey shore that will pay for plastic bottles? by MustardCustard825
Fun story. When we were renovating our basement, i found several hundred captain morgan bottles behind one of the walls. My best guess is a previous owner was hiding a drinking problem, and was slipping them up past the drop ceiling and behind the finished wall which stood about a foot off the foundation wall. it was about a 15 foot section that was filled to the top with them from floor to ceiling. (so far i haven't discovered wherever he moved on to after he ran out of room).
i figured even at like 5 cents a pop i had a good 100plus bucks there in deposit fees.
Short story, nobody in NJ will pay for them, and its illegal to try and return them to another state (and places do have limits as to how much they will take at one time, and can request ID if something smells fishy).
I called our public works department, explained the situation to them, and they just sent a truck out for me. Now every time i see one of them, they salute me and go "Captain"

I fully support the installation of wind turbines, but I just think they should be installed offshore non-touristy areas first.
