Jersey Joe has another batch of funny Valentine’s Day cards, that may really tick off your lover!

Valentine’s Day – also known as the Feast of St. Valentine, occurs on February 14th in most countries of the world, but it is not an official national holiday in most.

The day was first associated with love during the New Middle Ages.  Some accounts connect the start of the day to St. Valentine of Rome, who was imprisoned for performing marriages.  Since the 1800s, handwritten Valentine’s Day cards have become a popular way to celebrate your loved one on this day.

THE 411

What: Valentine’s Day

Date: February 14th

First celebrated: New Middle Ages

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Don’t look for these crazy cards in a card store near you!  You might want to find another way to share the love!

Can Miles the magician find Jersey Joe’s card stacked in the deck? See if you can spot what goes wrong!

THE 411

What: Card Trick Gone Bad

Outcome Should Have Been: another few rounds of removing cards, until only the original card remained

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Miles did redeem himself with another card trick a few moments later with a small group.  It was quite long, so I may air it as a special deleted scene at some point!

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe] Recap: Blizzard 2016

Blizzard 2016 is now over and left New York City and Jersey City, New Jersey buried in over 2 feet of snow, nearly smashing a record.  Jersey Joe took his camera out for a live show in the heart of the blizzard and brings you the highlights in this special episode of his video blog web show.

The blizzard left New York City with 26.8 inches of snow, just 0.1 inch shy of the all time record that was set in February 2006.  A travel ban went into effect and all above ground subway and train service was halted at 2pm Saturday, ahead of the heart of the storm.  Mass transit is set to resume full service on Monday, January 25th, while airports have already reopened earlier in the day on Sunday.

THE 411

What: blizzard 2016

Storm name: Jonas

Total snowfall: New York City – 26.8 inches

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Always use your head when a storm approaches.  Stock up with the appropriate supplies you need, sit at home, and wait it out.  Only venture out if the conditions are safe.  While I had scaffolding and large buildings to shield under, when the snow starts whipping — those ice pellets really hurt!

Are you a Johnny Bull?  My grandmother explains this depression era saying and Jersey Joe tracks it’s origin.

THE 411

Name: Johnny Bull or John Bull

What: term used for a rich British person

Used: 17th century – 20th century

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

An interesting term from British and American past that is rarely used.  It shows the early power of the media as the term migrated across the sea and was spread around in the US via newspapers.

Wine, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes has been around for more than 9,000 years.  The earliest known discovery was in China, where thousands of pottery jars were uncovered.  Wine can be made from a number of fruits including apple and peach, with grapes being the most popular.
