I believe you, but we're actually in Central Jersey, where the accent is more like that in Philadelphia. ("Why" sounds like "woy"; "over there" sounds like "ehwver dair"—there are no diacritical marks to indicate the sound of our long "o"). Sehw woy did dem goys gehw ehwver dair? We're a world apart from Nort' Joisy. To people in Trenton, Newark might as well be on Jupiter.
Okay - you can't have a conversation about New Joisy without the required question
