The second part of Rob and Producer Jason's journey along the West Branch of the Delaware River. They drift for two days, traveling from Deposit to Balls Eddy, fish the evening hatch, then sleep in the back of their cars. Rob narrates his observations of the cold river and its environment as he takes in the sights around him. Trout are feeding, rise forms dimple the surface, and the duo cast imitations of caddis and mayflies to the rising fish throughout their trip. The first day features windy weather and bad shore lunch. The second day sees calm wind currents, a reduction in anglers on the river, another dodgy lunch, and a beautiful sunset. The third day turns out to be a washout as a massive thunderstorm stalls over the mountains. Rob says goodbye to Jason and makes his way to New Jersey to meet up with his girlfriend and her cousins. He hadn't anticipated spending the afternoon by the trout streams of the Garden State. Old Lady Forever Instagram Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Send us a textThe unexpected journey from non-hunter to passionate outdoorsman lies at the heart of our conversation with Joe Arabia from Northern Jersey Outdoors. Having only started hunting six years ago at age 30, Joe offers a refreshing perspective that breaks from the typical "lifelong hunter" narrative that dominates outdoor media.Joe's story begins with a surprise 30th birthday gift – apprentice hunting permits from his cousin who had been trying to get him into the woods for years. That first hunt, watching a doe approach through lightly falling snow, his heart pounding so hard he could barely hold his shotgun steady, changed everything. "It opened up a different part of my brain," Joe explains, "I can't picture living without it anymore." This transformation from complete novice to successful trophy hunter provides a roadmap for late-blooming outdoorsmen everywhere.We dive deep into the unique challenges of hunting Northern New Jersey, where mature bucks are scarce, predator pressures are high, and deer populations are concentrated in suburban areas where hunting isn't permitted. Joe shares the thrilling story of his 133-inch buck, taken during the rut after calling in the dominant deer who came charging in to chase off a younger rival. The conversation flows through tactical discussions about saddle hunting versus traditional tree stands, the effectiveness of different hunting strategies in the Garden State, and the complex relationship between hunting pressure and deer behavior. Whether you're hunting the crowded Northeast or just curious about regional differences in deer patterns, Joe's insights reveal how adaptability and persistence lead to success.Ready to elevate your hunting game?

For nearly three centuries, the Jersey Devil has terrorized New Jersey's Pine Barrens with its glowing red eyes and leathery wings, but the monster's true origins lie not in supernatural birth, but in a 17th-century religious scandal. When Quaker settler Daniel Leeds was branded "Satan's harbinger" for publishing controversial almanacs, his family name became forever linked to the devil—transforming a community dispute into America's most enduring cryptid legend.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Deep in the heart of New Jersey's Pine Barrens lurks a legend that has haunted the Garden State for nearly three centuries. The Jersey Devil, a creature of nightmares with leathery wings and glowing red eyes, was born from a curse in the 1700s and has endured ever since – with sightings still taking place. (From Leeds to Lore, The Jersey Devil) *** In the mid-1970s, a terrifying predator stalked the streets of Oakland County, Michigan, abducting and murdering four innocent children. For nearly half a century, the identity of the Oakland County Child Killer has eluded investigators, leaving a trail of anguish, conspiracy theories, and unanswered questions in its wake. It's a cold case that continues to haunt the community, as justice never came. (The Child Predator of Oakland County) *** The Sabretooth Clan… a group of modern-day vampires who blend seamlessly into society by day but embrace their nocturnal alter egos by night. With custom fangs, vintage attire, and a unique philosophy, these "lifestylers" host extravagant balls, perform rituals, and even have their own spiritual pantheon – all while maintaining a strict no-blood-drinking policy. What is it like to live as a vampire? (What Is It Like To Live As a Vampire?) *** In 1864 Canton, Ohio, a romance between German immigrant Ferdinand Hoffman and local girl Caroline Yost spiraled into a tale of deception, abuse, and ultimate tragedy. Their ill-fated union, marred by Hoffman's criminal past and violent tendencies, culminated in a shocking church stabbing and a dramatic manhunt. (The Canton Church Murder) *** From fiery pits to Satan's domain, our modern conception of hell is a tapestry woven from centuries of art, literature, and religious interpretation. But how much of what we believe about the underworld actually aligns with biblical teachings? We'll look at some common misconceptions about hell, and discover how our cultural understanding of eternal damnation often diverges from scriptural truths.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Rich recaps his appearance on Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Failla, we listen to terrible generic return music—though, it's likely better than what Matt would have selected, and TMZ has released a new documentary suggesting there may have been a fifth plane on September 11th. 4:10pm- While speaking with MSNBC, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) defiantly stated: “Tom [Homan], arrest me! Let's go!” The Trump Administration has openly contemplated arresting Newsom for interfering with ICE's deportation efforts. Rich explains that the administration should not arrest Newsom—and doesn't expect it will happen. However, if it did occur it would be an enormous gift to Newsom's presumed 2028 presidential campaign. 4:20pm- In response to a series of ICE raids intended to remove migrants residing in the United States unlawfully, protests broke out in Los Angeles, California—sometimes turning violent and destructive. Videos circulating on social media show ICE agents being assaulted with bricks and commercial-grade fireworks. Numerous vehicles—including Waymo self-driving taxis—were set on fire by violent demonstrators. As the New York Post notes, Waymo vehicles are electric and as they burn, the lithium-ion batteries are releasing toxic gases. Other videos show demonstrators burning American flags and chanting “F*** Trump.” As the protests carried on into the night, multiple businesses were looted in downtown Los Angeles, according to reports. 4:25pm- Breaking News: U.S. Marines have been deployed in Los Angeles, California in response to wide-spread unrest. 4:30pm– Jack Ciattarelli—Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey and a former New Jersey State Representative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview primary day in the Garden State (happening tomorrow, June 10th). Ciattarelli discusses earning President Trump's endorsement on Truth Social—and his promise to reshape the New Jersey Supreme Court by appointing bold, conservative justices.

The Trump administration's fight with Harvard University intensified after his State Department announced they have temporarily suspended new foreign visa applications. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained the move is geared to address Harvard's failure to respond to antisemitism on campus and prevent the arrival of more students who could "foment hatred against the Jewish community." After a federal judge blocked this Trump policy, George Washington University Law Professor and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Turley joins to simplify how national security, free speech, and the economy factor into this legal case.

Some may remember the prominent cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina in which a 6-3 decision found that affirmative action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley has written a book analyzing the historical context for race considerations in school admissions in his book, The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don't Need Racial Preferences to Succeed. Riley joins the podcast to share some key lessons from his book. Plus, commentary from co-founder of the 'Mom Wars" newsletter and podcast, Bethany Mandel.

Numerous stories have arisen this week that RHONJ's very own Dolores Catania will be leaving her beloved Garden State to move to, rent a beach house in or pass on through Rhode Island to appear on, star in or just be a side kick “friend of” on RHORI when it premieres on our Bravo TV's later this year. Today, we break our silence separating fact from fiction, truth from untruth, Andy Cohen's comments based on their face value versus their hidden meaning and oh, so very much more finally getting to the bottom of Dolo's rumored role in RHORI. In other news, Teresa, down two key employees including her long time trusted lawyer, seems to be misbehaving again by allegedly leaking fake stories for her own personal reasons all of which point in one direction, to her return to RHONJ. Finally, Erika Jayne fu*ked Jesse Solomon, kinda, maybe, definitely, sorta, for sure. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
