This episode is a tribute to the beloved Jersey things that are gone but not forgotten. The places where we used to eat, shop, and hang out. The places that got turned into box stores and parking lots in heartbreaking fashion. The people who have left this earth. All the things that defined our childhoods, set the tone for what it means to be a Jersey person, and showed how insane and off-kilter this state can get. This is nostalgia at its best.

Don Fanelli. Bonadooch. Mike D. Geth. All in one place, answering questions submitted by non-NJ people so they can explain this oft confusing state to outsiders.

It’s a well known fact that everyone in New Jersey has just a bit of a hustler inside of them. This episode focuses on jobs we've worked that are uniquely New Jersey - either in that they relate specifically to the state or because they're like jobs anyone could have had growing up but infected by that NJ steroid/toxicity. From summer camp jobs that highlight NJ class division, to sad Rutgers University student employment, to the things you see working at Jersey liquor store. PLUS Chris's loving tribute to his time working at Weird NJ and Bonadooch's ponderings on what it's like helping to build the physical infrastructure of our fine state.

In a few weeks we'll be dropping an episode all about New Brunswick. Anyone in Jersey knows it's a town where a lot of shit goes down.

Sign up at www.patreon.com/newjerseyistheworld to make sure you get the full New Brunswick episode (and much more). Sign up by April 15th and you'll receive a beach badge that gets you onto any NJ beach for free! (Not really but you're welcome to try.)

We know that everyone out there thinks of New Jersey as a polluted wasteland. That makes us mad. But we can also recognize that sadly - it's in many ways quite true. From growing up on a superfund site, to falling into polluted rivers (not one but two), to Dr. Shitfoot, this discussion has it all. Plus your voicemails, a teaser of Don's review of White House Subs, and a Gagootz tease featuring a question about how to tell one's kids they're from New Jersey.

In New Jersey there's a huge cultural tradition of driving around and looking for completely terrifying stuff in your teenage years. Haunted stuff, evil stuff, and abandoned stuff. In this episode Chris, Mike D, and Bonadooch reminisce about THE BIN - an abandoned mental hospital where they had some truly chilling experiences. This isn't just an exploration of New Jersey - it's a look back in confusion at the wild west way we were raised back in the 80s and 90s.
