Let's Fix The State Constitution

August 29, 2022 07:54 - 34 minutes - 55.7 MB

In this short but sweet episode, we cover two things: the ongoing saga of Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise and the New Jersey State Constitution. We never really think about the state constitution - it's superseded, obviously, by the big dawg, the federal Constitution. In reading it, there's a lot to like - and I break down my favorite thing of all in this episode. But there's also one big thing I think we should change, and I'm wondering if you think the same.

Scotland Ground Report feat David O'Doherty

August 23, 2022 08:10 - 36 minutes - 63 MB

When Mike D and Geth met up in Scotland, they figured it only made sense to do a report from the streets of Edinburgh comparing it and contrasting it with New Jersey while gauging its Jersey-ness. They didn't anticipate a surprise drop in from noted Irish comedian David O'Doherty, who was able to step in and break down the matter better than they ever imagined.

August 15, 2022 02:00 - 54 minutes - 94.8 MB

Don Fanelli is back with a review of a Jersey food item NOT in Jersey? Secret Pizza in Los Angeles is making waves for serving Jersey pizza made by a Jersey native.

Interview: Dr. Brian on Emilio Carranza

August 08, 2022 13:19 - 1 hour - 133 MB

Gethard's voice is shredded, so Mike D leads the gang in talking to Dr. Brian, a supporter of our show who happens to be an expert in many fields. One thing he's researched is the story of Emilio Carranza, the famed Mexican aviator who has a monument built to him deep in the Pine Barrens... and there's way more to the story than most of us know!

Interview: Kerri Sullivan of New Jersey Fan Club

August 01, 2022 22:21 - 43 minutes - 68.5 MB

A new book just came out. It's a celebration of Jersey culture, and it's not a stretch to say that if you dig our podcast you will enjoy said book! (I even have an essay in it but full disclosure I'm not getting any kickbacks for this. It's a genuinely great book!) You can find info on said book HERE. Today I'm lucky to interview the author/curator of said book, Kerri Sullivan. We talk about the book itself, why Jersey leads to such a compulsion in us, and also roughly 85 side tangents no ...

New Jersey Town Seals: An Audio Discussion

July 25, 2022 12:27 - 1 hour - 143 MB

Mike D has tracked down dozens of New Jersey town seals. We discuss them. Which ones are bringing the heat design wise? Messaging wise? More importantly, which ones are hot garbage? And as always, the rest of the state is left to ask: what is Manville thinking? Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Small Business Spotlight: Mutiny BBQ, Asbury Park

July 18, 2022 07:00 - 52 minutes - 84.3 MB

This is our second ever small business spotlight interview. This time around, we talk to Tom from Mutiny BBQ in Asbury Park. We hear about things like meeting the bar that's set by Asbury Park's food scene, how help from other businesses was vital to his restaurant's beginning, what it's like boxing out space in a culinary style Jersey's not known for, and SO much for. Tom's a great guy and we hope you head to Asbury Park ASAP to sample his meats (and sides, fellow vegetarians!) Join up at ...

Your Most New Jersey Night Ever

July 11, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 133 MB

In this laid back episode, we shoot the shit in casual fashion discussing our MOST JERSEY NIGHTS EVER. This leads to a lot of idiotic anecdotes, as one might imagine. We're left wondering - out of the listed options, what do you think is the most Jersey night laid out. And more importantly, what's YOUR most Jersey night ever?

Jersey Dude Reviews Jersey Food: Crumb Cake 2 (2 Crumb 2 Cake)

July 04, 2022 11:40 - 55 minutes - 96.6 MB

Last month, Don reviewed crumb cake from B&W Bakery in Hackensack. You might remember that part way through that episode, he had a meltdown when we found out that another Bergen County bakery - Just Crumb Cake in Park Ridge - made a funfetti crumb cake. Don is usually so philosophical and even keeled about food - it was concerning to see him blow a gasket about funfetti crumb cake. Well guess what? I found out that Just Crumb Cake ships their food, so I sent Don the damn funfetti crumb ca...

Yo, Just Fix It

June 27, 2022 02:03 - 1 hour - 114 MB

Look, we love Jersey. Obviously. This podcast's existence hinges upon it. BUT - we can all admit that part of loving Jersey is recognizing that there's a lot of shit broken around here so why don't they just FIX IT ALREADY? In this episode we break down a tiny number of the MANY things this state should just FIX ALREADY, GODDAMMIT. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Interview: Mikey Erg!

June 20, 2022 12:55 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Today we interview the one and only Mikey Erg: if you are a fan of punk music and New Jersey, you are probably already a fan of Mikey's. From his seminal days revitalizing the New Brunswick basement scene alongside The Ergs to being a lynchpin of the Asbury Lanes era of Asbury Park, Mikey has been a huge part of NJ's punk scene. Topics discussed include why he has always garnered so much Jersey love despite not writing explicitly about Jersey, underground Jersey bands that deserved more accl...

Jersey Vacations That Aren't The Shore

June 13, 2022 07:00 - 49 minutes - 82.8 MB

Last year we gave you a summer reading list. This year, we're kicking off summer by providing a public service - a list of places you can do Jersey vacations that aren't the shore. Maybe you're not in the mood for salt water or sand or watching guidos fist fight on a boardwalk. Well this state has more than the shore and we're thrilled to put a magnifying glass on some of our favorite options out there. And I'm SURE we missed a lot so let us know at 973-780-4660.

Deep Dive: The Ballad of Rick Cerone

June 09, 2022 02:05 - 49 minutes - 80.6 MB

We're back with this month's edition of our monthly Deep Dive series, usually reserved for Patreon. What starts as an exploration of Long Branch quickly devolves into a head-spinning mystery about former Yankees and Seton Hall catcher Rick Cerone, and a piece of long lost media he released many moons ago. This is, by far, one of the strangest rabbit holes NJITW has ever gone down. May God help us all. Rick Cerone... take me home... Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast...

Interview: Joel Nadler, Abandoned New Jersey

June 06, 2022 12:23 - 53 minutes - 78.8 MB

It's a well known fact that every Jersey teen goes through a phase where they greatly enjoy checking out abandoned places. Today, we interview Joel Nadler, who took that phase and turned it into a book of killer photos. From places that are infamous to places you've never heard of, he's chronicled a ton of Jersey's abandoned sites, and has some recommendations for day trips to nearby non-Jersey locales that are worth a visit too.

Interview: Nancy Solomon

May 30, 2022 15:26 - 52 minutes - 82.4 MB

Nancy Solomon isn't just the person behind the brilliant podcast "Dead End: A New Jersey Murder Mystery", she's also covered the intricate web that is New Jersey politics for two decades. We talk to her about Dead End, what it's like airing out the Norcross machine, and why New Jersey operates the way it does. It was a real privilege to have this discussion - Nancy's hugely accomplished, totally down to earth, and able to break down the political side of Jersey in a way few rarely can. Get bo...

Jersey Dude Reviews Jersey Food: Crumb Cake

May 23, 2022 13:03 - 52 minutes - 91 MB

You would think reviewing crumb cake would be a simple and easy process. Not in Jersey, it isn't. I've known and worked with the esteemed Don Fanelli for well over a decade now and I've only seen him get this angry two other times. This month NJITW is brought to you by our friends at LUNAR FAIRE.

Feuds!

May 16, 2022 11:56 - 1 hour - 119 MB

If there's one thing that's true in every corner of New Jersey it's that we love a good fight and we can hold a damn grudge. From food feuds to some statewide legendary feuds to a hyper-local neighborhood feud to a personal beef (you'll see), we cover only a few of our favorite feuds in Garden State history. We highly look forward to hearing about the feuds you know about, especially those local ones that the greater world hasn't had the platform to hear about until now. In the month of May...

Interview: Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill

May 09, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 117 MB

It is with great pride that I invite you to listen to this interview with my Congresswoman, the great Mikie Sherrill of the NJ-11th District. I am an unapologetic fanboy of my congressional rep, so buckle up. I was flattered that the Congresswoman took the time to meet me at Silverstream Studios in Montclair for this in-depth discussion. Topics that come up include: Andy Kim, how one mentally handles being the human tasked with representing such a non-homogenous area, the housing cost exp...

Jersey STYLE

May 02, 2022 07:00 - 59 minutes - 100 MB

The clothes we wore. The slang we used. The haircuts we rocked. What defines Jersey STYLE? We lay out the things we remember - and it poses some big questions? Was the Jersey style? 90s style? 90s Jersey style? What were the micro-styles confined to our neighborhoods, towns, or counties? What of these things do you remember your own versions of from your corner of the Garden State? This is an incredibly funny episode and I am psyched to see how this conversation gets going! NJITW is brou...

Jersey Things That Are More Fun While High

April 25, 2022 07:00 - 45 minutes - 74.7 MB

It's official: recreational marijuana is now legally being sold in New Jersey. This is all anyone's talking about around the state, so we needed to chime in. Not with high brow analysis. Not with breakdowns of the state's execution of the program. No - we simply list a bunch of stuff that's more fun to do in New Jersey while high. (And some warnings on things you're definitely going to want to avoid after eating edibles.) Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f...

A Sunday Morning With the Bagel Wizard

April 18, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 99.5 MB

Chaos, cooking, noise, and BAGELS. In this episode we are flies on the wall at Bagels by Jarrett, one of the most buzzed about bagel stores in all of North Jersey, as orders fly out the door. Jarrett Seltzer invited us to record at his establishment and we were thrilled to sit at a plastic folding table on a Sunday morning as we saw what it's really like inside a North Jersey bagel store during its busiest stretch. We try to capture the vibe of how the gears turn at a place like this on a bu...

April 11, 2022 13:31 - 1 hour - 113 MB

Our series of interviews relating to Jersey's largest city continues today, featuring a chat with the mysterious individual behind the NewarkNJBlog Instagram account. He tells us what compelled him to establish an online presence celebrating the beauty of Newark, how he keeps it positive, where to get a good bite, how to avoid the trappings of Insta-fame, and we even hear a couple stories about how hands on he's gotten in stopping negativity in his home city.

The Top NJ Movies of All Time

April 04, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 128 MB

The greats over at the Star Ledger put out their list of the 51 best New Jersey movies of all time. I challenge Mike D and Bonadooch to guess what's on the list and where it comes in on the rankings. This leads to MANY a tangent. Plus, we voice our overall love of this list as well as a few choices we are baffled by. It's a funny, loose episode. You're gonna love it!

St. Peters Peacocks Audio Diary

March 28, 2022 15:17 - 46 minutes - 73.5 MB

This weekend, all of New Jersey went crazy watching the amazing run by the St. Peters Peacocks in the NCAA Tournament. They took it further than anyone thought. They did it with style and toughness and grit. It was one of the most New Jersey stories that's ever unfolded, and we all got to watch it in real time. Well, we chronicled it in real time as well. I recorded audio before, during, and after both games this weekend. We cover the legend of Shaheen Holloway and how he has become one of ...

NJ Celebrity Deathmatch Tournament

March 21, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 114 MB

It's March, which means everything is all about tournaments, baby! In the realm of basketball, that means watching St. Peters shock the world. But here at NJITW that means picking 32 random New Jersey celebrities and arbitrarily discussing who would kill whom in a fight to the death! This episode is full of a lot of reaaallllly dumb hypotheticals about people who - to our knowledge - have nothing against each other, fighting brutally to their ultimate demise. Thanks to everyone who's joined...

Small Business Spotlight: Four City Brewing

March 14, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 131 MB

For this month's interview, I'm trying something new and shining a spotlight on a small business that I hope our community actively supports: Four City Brewing in Orange. I had the chance to talk to Roger Apollon, one of the brewery's owners. We touched on what it takes to break into the craft brewery business, its foothold in New Jersey, what it's like being one of only a handful of black entrepreneurs in the field, and how to use one's business to not be used as a tool for gentrification ...

Jersey Dude Reviews Jersey Food: Eso Artisinal Pasta

March 07, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 108 MB

On this month's food review episode, Fanelli and Geth sample Eso Artisinal Pasta - a fresh pasta joint in Morristown that's garnered much buzz both for its food and its compelling creation story. Does the taste match the buzz? How does fresh handmade pasta play differently for Don, who often makes it himself, and Geth, who wouldn't know where to begin? And what sad things did Geth do in his kitchen that Don was too kind to make fun of him for until recording? Listen and find out! If you wa...

February 21, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 118 MB

Anthony DeVito and Greg Stone are two fine gentlemen from Bloomfield, NJ and two absolutely killer stand up comics. As you can imagine, we've always had a lot to talk about. In this episode we a) fuck around and do bits and b) talk a lot about what it's like being from where we're from and c) Greg and Anthony tell us all what it's like to come up in the NJ comedy scene, which is something I have less hands on experience with. They are hilarious and this episode is hilarious and you will like...

Jersey Dude Reviews Jersey Food: Boost!

February 07, 2022 08:00 - 58 minutes - 96.5 MB

We finally got our hands on a jug of Boost!, the miraculous non-carbonated soft drink only popular in a handful of Burlington County towns. Don breaks down the experience, the flavor profile, and imagined ideal circumstances for Boost. But honestly, there's not a ton to say about Boost so we also hear an insane tangent about a wild customer service call, and then at the end the great rice pudding debate erupts. Call 973-780-4660 if you have opinions on that one, by the way. Also very psych...

The NJ Doomsday Clock

January 31, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 107 MB

In this very trippy episode, we ask the hypothetical: what if there was a clock ticking down towards armageddon in New Jersey? What things could happen to show off Jersey's greatness and collectively buy us all more time? What could go down that would accelerate the clock, hurtling us all towards societal doom? THIS IS A WEIRD ONE, AND A FUN ONE. Don't forget we're performing live Wednesday night at House of Independents in Asbury Park! Get tickets today! You can support the show by join...

This Guy Ate a One Pound Mozzarella Stick

January 24, 2022 13:59 - 1 hour - 109 MB

This month instead of a traditional food review, Don and I interview NJ.com food writer Jeremy Schneider. Initially what we focus on is that this crazy motherfucker attempted to eat a one pound mozzarella stick by himself at a restaurant in Bloomfield. But as you can imagine, we broaden the conversation to include topics as diverse as: "How food tells the story of class divide in New Jersey" and "Is Pete Genovese a man or a myth" and "why every town in this state has more to it than its bull...

My quest to figure out the complicated feelings any Essex county raised suburbanite has towards our state's largest city resumes with activist, rapper, Newark native, and in general thoughtful and smart person Daniel Joseph.

December 20, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 90.2 MB

Today on the show we start off with a very important voicemail about bagels. So that's huge. THEN we continue a conversation that's been unfolding over time on the show that's probably even more important than bagels - one about how the political gears of New Jersey turn and how strange and fascinating and rigged the game can be in this state. I spend an hour talking with Imani Oakley, who's running for Congress in New Jersey's 10th District. She's specifically and vocally talking about h...

A recent national study has decided that New Jersey has the worst roads in the nation. As you can imagine, we both vehemently agree but are not into anyone talking bad about us.

Newark Conversations: Alexis Guerreros

November 08, 2021 02:22 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Growing up in West Orange in my era, Newark was this looming presence that most families (including mine) had deep roots in. But we were conditioned to fear Newark, to not go there. The stolen car capitol. America's most dangerous city. But now I'm older and wiser and realize that any statistics aside, the relationship between Newark and its suburbs is strange. Very strange, and distant, and dehumanizing. I want to untangle my feelings surrounding this, and the best way I can think to star...

Rather than take on one bagel place, Don is reviewing THREE of North Jersey's finest. From Bagels by Jarret's mad scientist unpredictability, to the neighborhood mainstay Hot Bagels Abroad, to the nationally renowned Teaneck Hot Bagels, Don examines Jersey's favorite carb backward and forward.
