THE 411

What: hotel room tips

How: 2 simple steps

Result: easy ways to know if your hotel room is clean

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I love the show Hotel Impossible on The Travel Channel.  Unlike most reality shows, this is less about the screaming, and more about getting results.

The viewer gets a sneak peek at the inner workings of a hotel.

With these two tips, I learned from watching the show, hopefully they will give you a little piece of mind during your next hotel room stay.

Jersey Joe sits down with television icon and an American favorite – Krusty the Clown!

Name: Krusty the Clown

Where from: Springfield

Seen: The Simpsons TV Series

Airdate: Sundays (FOX), Syndicated to local stations, FXX

Krusty the Clown

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I think Krusty is one of the best characters ever created for The Simpsons.  While he may be kid friendly on camera, he’s quite a sleazeball off screen.  Between the women, the gambling, the drinking, the cigar smoking, and even run ins with the mob — Krusty has helped to keep the laughs coming, since The Simpsons went on the air 25 years ago.

The Eastern seaboard of the United States is currently locked in a 20 year deep freeze.  Cities up and down the coast are locked into the coldest temperatures they have experienced in over two decades.

We’ve all heard the myth that boiling hot water will instantly freeze in temperatures under 32° and scientists have proved that — but what about beer?  Alcohol has a lower freezing temperature.

Watch what happens as Jersey Joe and his friends test out boiling hot water and an ice cold beer in 4° temperatures.

THE 411

What: Does beer freeze under freezing temperatures

Freezing temperature: 32° F

Type of beer: Miller Lite

Location: Jersey City, New Jersey

IMG_3657.MOV.Still001JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

The East Coast is certainly locked in a deep freeze right now.  It’s been over two decades, since temperatures have fallen this low along the Eastern seaboard.  It was a cold night out… so we had a little fun. Check it out… maybe my friends and I could be of use to an elementary school science experiment or something…

Jersey Joe challenges his friends to play a round from the original 1970’s edition of Family Feud.  Can they figure out what a 1970’s survey audience said, or will they strike out?  Find out in this hilarious video!

Family Feud went on the air in 1976 with host Richard Dawson.  Feud is a spin-off of the Super Match round from another popular 70’s game show Match Game, where Dawson was a popular panelist.

Dawson hosted the show until 1985.  He also returned for a single season in 1994.  Since Dawson, several other hosts have taken over, with Steve Harvey, the most recent, receiving the series highest syndicated ratings ever since he took over in 2010.

Feud originally aired on the ABC television network.  It moved to CBS in the 1980’s and has is currently seen in syndication on local stations, as it always has been.

Feud is also seen in around the world and has been named the 3rd greatest TV game show of all time.

I love Family Feud.  If you are a regular viewer of this blog, then you most surely know that.  This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about the show, but it’s the first time I’ve got to challenge my friends into playing a round.  We will definitely have to do this again!

I have to ride the New York City subway to and from work everyday.  I always make sure to carry a bottle of hand sanitizer.  You never know what you will be touching on the subway and the same goes when using a public restroom.

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe] Exploring an Abandoned Casino

Jersey Joe explores an abandoned casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that’s been walled off for years.

THE 411

What: The Claridge Hotel

Location: Atlantic City, New Jersey

Opened: 1929

Website: www.claridge.com

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Since The Claridge Hotel became their own separate hotel, after being sold by Bally’s, the building is in the middle of an amazing transformation.  Aside from the renovations to the former casino space, they are renovating several floors of rooms, and continue to add more amenities and many restaurants and bars are planned.  I remember playing here during the casino days and always thought the building had a very grand feeling to it.  It’s nice to see that the property is in good hands and I look forward to seeing what else they have in store.  I really do with them the best of luck.  With all of the hotel towers that have closed in AC — the town REALLY NEEDS the Claridge.
