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!

Dave and Jerry are two radio DJs who do morning shows on different stations, but like to get together for lunch every month. And before lunch, they sit around and talk shop. Comparing notes on goofy news stories and topics of interest. And you, dear listeners, are lucky to be flies on the wall. And you know what attracts flies! No, not sugar.  

Dave did something this week that he has never done before - he donated blood plasma. He had a tube stuck in one arm and was signing autographs for the nurses with the other.  Dave and Jerry discuss ChatGPT and how it is affecting the radio and voiceover business. Which brought up the question "What is happening in today's world that makes you feel old?"  Ummm, EVERYTHING!  You'll grow old just listening to this exciting and provocative podcast episode. 

Dave shares that he is suffering from a foot injury. He's not sure how he got it, but it started right after taking a nasty spill down the stairs while wearing his wife's high heels (don't ask).  Dave has also been on a healthy eating regimen and shares his weight loss tips. Meanwhile, the makers of Little Debby Snack Cakes have watched their sales drop by a third! And a shout out to It's Called Pork Roll Superfan George "Pickled Eggs" O'Donnell, who says what loves most about this podcast is that "it's free."

Just when you thought that the cancel culture movement had finally got rid of Dave and Jerry, they are back with Episode One Hundred Thirty Seven. The boys have been busy. Jerry was in Washington DC and saw a Nationals baseball game. that brought up the topic of a poll about Americans' favorite bucket list vacations. Does anyone else want to visit Paramus, NJ? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hold your nose when listening to this one.

Father Time is shadowing the original Lost Boys, Dave and Jerry. This episode features a lot of complaining about various old man ailments like gout, bunions, rickets, hair loss, hearing loss, incontinence and ED.  Listening to this podcast will make you feel better about your own lives.  Enjoy!

Dave and Jerry are back from vacations. Jerry went to Walt Disney World and Dave went on a cruise. And now, they're both 20 pounds heavier and broke as well.  They discuss the AI computer voices that are now available, and that sound pretty good. Could Dave and Jerry be replaced by computers? Then they could go on a permanent vacation. So, catch them before they are officially declared obsolete.  Actually I think that may have already happened.

Dave is mad as hell, and he's not going to take it anymore!  Unfortunately, Dave is having problems with a contractor who took a sizeable deposit and is now ghosting him. Dave talks about the situation and the steps he's taken to no avail.  Renovations have finished for Lucy the Elephant. The boys discuss what they think would be a huge moneymaker - a slide chute ride out Lucy's backside. And passing by the Shore Mall (it will always be the SHORE MALL) it was very bittersweet to see the Towne 16 completely demolished. So, out with the old and in with the new. And catch this podcast episode before the old Dave and Jerry are out!

Yet another fireside chat with Dave and Jerry as we warm ourselves with EMFs by the transmitter tube.  Reminiscing about growing up and how things have changed over the years. The kind of conversation that you would hear every day over tapioca pudding at the Senior center.   You probably feel the same way, especially if you're over 50 and have lost your coolness. It's all fun though and a great way to waste 25 minutes!

Ho Ho Ho! No, that's not a Christmas wish. Dave and Jerry talk about Christmas at their homes and their family traditions. Meanwhile, Dave announces he will be taking a break from his personal facebook page. He feels like he is spending way too much time with it. (Translation - his wife caught him looking at questionable material and now his screen time has been limited.) Enjoy your holiday and keep that mistletoe up all year long, just in case an opportunity presents itself.

Dave and Jerry talk about their Thanksgiving holidays! Jerry had the whole family over and reached new levels of gluttony while Dave and his wife celebrated alone, thanks to our old friend Covid. Listeners commented on their absolute all-time favorite Thanksgiving sides. You can't think of turkey without thinking of Dave and Jerry! www.itscalledporkroll.com.
