JWoww Spills Jersey Shore Secrets on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” Podcast

Jersey Shore fans, get ready to GTL! Jenni “JWoww” Farley made a special appearance on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast on Thursday, June 26, 2025, recorded live at The Ocean Drive Bar & Restaurant in Sea Isle City, NJ. The episode was part of the Eagles Autism Foundation’s Team 62 fundraising week at the shore.

During the lively conversation, JWoww opened up about her time on the iconic MTV reality show. She and Kylie dove into the origins of famous Jersey Shore catchphrases, the unforgettable fist-pumping dance moves, and the difference between North and South Jersey Shore culture. JWoww even admitted she’s disappointed that the new generation doesn’t dance like the original cast, who brought “Jersey Turnpiking” to dance floors everywhere.

A particularly memorable moment discussed was the infamous incident where Snooki was punched at a bar. JWoww revealed that, at the time, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi may have been feeling disconnected from the group and possibly considering leaving the show, as she felt she wasn’t being taken seriously. While the rest of the cast partied a couple of times a week, Snooki wanted to go out every night, creating a divide, though everyone liked her. After the incident, JWoww realized how much she cared for Snooki. She also recalled her shock at the public’s reaction, noting that some viewers defended the man who punched Snooki. JWoww expressed pride in the production team and MTV for deciding to air the episode, believing it was an important and pivotal moment for the show.

JWoww also shared candid stories about working at the Shore Store for just $8 an hour, revealing that the cast only earned what they made at the store during the first season—she walked away with just $400. She also recounted how she discovered the show would air: by hearing her own voice in a TV commercial, followed by a call from the network just 13 minutes later.

The episode also tackled deeper topics, including JWoww and Kylie’s experiences as moms, their no-judgment rule on parenting advice, and their personal journeys with postpartum depression and psychosis. JWoww discussed her advocacy for autism awareness, inspired by her son’s diagnosis, and highlighted the importance of sensory-friendly spaces through organizations like the Eagles Autism Foundation and KultureCity.
