IT'S CALLED PORK ROLL with Dave and Jerry

Dave and Jerry reminisce about completing 150 episodes of this podcast.  Really just an excuse to get together and yak around for an hour about what's happening in our lives. So much has changed since we started this podcast in 2018!  Jerry talked about the trips he is taking with WIBG Wibbage 94.3 and the travel group, this fall to the Catskills and coming up the New Year's Eve trip to Virginia Beach.  Both Dave and Jerry have always enjoyed radio station trips, especially the chance to meet old and new listeners.  2025 promised more of the same.  

Episode One Hundred Forty Nine features a rare guest appearance by a longtime South Jersey DJ, John Lockwood.  Over his forty year career, John has been fired from of the area's best radio stations (just like Dave and Jerry) and is now headed back to his boyhood home of Niles, Ohio to see if he can add some more to his long and distinguished list.  Thanks to the miracle of modern technology you will still be able to hear John on WIBG "Wibbage" 94.3.  Wishing you the best, old friend!

In episode One Hundred Forty Eight, Dave and Jerry discuss the anxiety of getting older.  You would think two swinging media star playboys would have nothing to be anxious about (except their hair) but that's not the case.  Jerry revisits his jump into radio and how he went from feeding fish to dolphins in Miami to co hosting a radio morning show in Atlantic City. Just some small talk between friends. Listen in.

A MAJOR shock was felt around the sports world earlier this summer, when lifelong NY Mets fan Dave officially renounced his fandom and come out of the closet to officially support the Philadelphia Phillies. This was not a decision made lightly, as Dave had accumulated a lot of Mets swag, but he sold it off and is now a living breathing Phils fan.  That being said, since Dave switched allegiances, his former crush The Mets have gone on a winning tear thanks to the grimace, and The Phillies have been on a losing streak that rivals the 1964 club.  We are now collecting donations to by a new Mets hat for Dave and set the universe on it's proper course once again. 

Episode One Hundred Forty Six finds the boys catching up on their daily lives and thinking about summer.  Area businesses have reopened and the tourists are here ready to spend their money. Dave and Jerry talk about the things they look forward to every summer at the Jersey Shore,  From weddings to bottomless popcorn, it's all on the table with this latest episode.

Just doing some catching up with the personal lives of Dave and Jerry.  Dave is participating in a new weight loss health program.  He's lost 16 pounds in just a couple of weeks and he feels great.  Jerry got back from another WIBG Road Trip to Washington DC.  and Dave tells about his brother's western trip to Oklahoma and Texas, and now wears a cowboy hat and boots, and and bought the Waylon Jennings Greatest Hits CD.  Fun with the boys on this latest episode of Its Called Pork Roll.

This episode was delayed because Jerry was off on another radio station listener trip. This one to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and the Bavaro Suites beachfront resort.  Highly recommended and a great winter getaway.  Jerry is looking forward to the WIBG WInter 2025 cruise (details at wibg.com) while Dave is already planning the menu for his September cruise with KOOL. We hope to see you onboard!

This week, we lost one of the true radio icons of South Jersey. Jack Cooney, better known by his radio name as Jackson T Chase passed away at the age of 75.  Originally from Norristown, T came to 1340 WMID after his service in Vietnam, joining Andy Volvo and Gary Lane on the hottest station at the shore in the early 1970s. He later worked at WAYV and WMGM before joining Dave and me at KOOL 98.3, where he did middays and afternoons for years.  A man who epitomized the phrase " larger than life."  This podcast is our way of remembering someone who will never be forgotten.

Dave is suddenly getting busy and pleasing his wife by getting his tired old butt out of the house, as he starts two new side gigs. In this episode you will learn where you can see Dave in action (or as close to action as it gets for Dave.)  Jerry is parking his tired old butt on the couch with plenty of snacks at the ready. Enjoy your Holiday and wear that mistletoe belt buckle proudly as you immerse yourself in episode one hundred forty two of "It's Called Pork Roll" with Dave and Jerry!

It's been three long months since Dave and Jerry have last podcasted. We can't give details as litigation is ongoing but we can say that the boys are currently free on their own recognizence. And they are happy to discuss what's been going on during their extended absence.  The Phillies collapse, the Mets implosion, current events and radio station trips. They're as comfortable as a pair of old slippers, and they don't smell as bad!
