#YaJagoffPodcast / Episode #025

Just like in school, when your teachers would announce, “We’re moving class outside today, kids!” we are all excited to move our podcast outside to the West Park area of Pittsburgh’s North Side.  And we get ice balls from the Gus and Yiayia’s cart!  While we waited, we talked to Sue Kerr about her #AMPLIFY project, The Food Tasters about the Deutschtown Music Festival and the most entertaining chiropractor in Pittsburgh, Dr. Brent Shealer, talks about “Text Neck” or “Tech Neck!” And, we’re asking everyone what they would do with the Stanley Cup if they had it for one hour.

Episode 25 Show Notes: “Holding Class Outside Today”

Episode Music: Chicago, “Saturday In the Park”

• 01:20     We had a chance to record a video with singer/songwriter Michael Franti but not before we sweated our butts off and John got a flat tire after the Pens loss in game 5!
• 06:42     Tasha has made good with Denise Schuster from last week’s podcast and has a ton of information about things happening on the North Side, The Deutschtown Music Festival, neighborhood restaurants and an Allegheny Inn update
• 15:50     Sue Kerr, Pittsburgh LGBTQ blogger, www.PghLesbian.com, sits in the park with us to talk about her #AMPLIFY project: a series of blog posts which have turned into an interactive stage production at the Off The Wall Theater.
• 30:25     Pittsburgh’s most entertaining chiropractor, Dr. Brent Shealer, talks about an actual health issue that we, and our kids face, “Text Neck or “Tech Neck” which is a real thing!
• 41:35     Wrapping up, we convince Craig’s son Jack (or twist his arm as oppressive adults) to use his money to buy ice balls.  He was the only one responsible enough to bring cash!
• The Food Tasters had set us up with brunch at Pizzaiolo Primo in Market Square. It was an unbelievable mouth-stuffing experience!  They will be one of our stops for our Party Pedaler Podcast recording this coming week!

The YaJagoff! Podcast is on location in West Park on the North Side with co-hosts John Chamberlin (right) and Craig Tumas (left).

Pittsburgh LGBTQ blogger Sue Kerr – www.pghlesbian.com – talks with John & Craig about her #AMPLIFY project and more.

#YaJagoffPodcast / Episode #024

Back in the studio! Well, all but Tasha from The Food Tasters.  She is suspiciously missing and Denise Schuster, a supposed “food expert” has barged her way in.  Chef Donato Coluccio of the Capital Grille (Pittsburgh) stops by to try and explain how/why Craig and John got invited to be Food Judges for the Steel Chef Challenge event on June 12^th for the Community Liver Alliance.  Then we talk to some of Pittsburgh’s comedy elite, Gab Bonesso and John McIntire about, well… a ton of stuff. And, since we’re just past prom season, all of our guests have prom stories!

Nick Paradise and the gang at Kennywood Park invited us out to the grand re-opening of the Noah’s Ark attraction… new whale mouth and everything!  We had a chance to go through the new exhibit, Potato Patch Fries and interview a bunch of interesting Pittsburghers as they boarded the new ark 2-by2 Pittsburgh style!!!  Two artists, two Primanti Sandwiches, two ballet dancers and…well… you get it, doncha?  See the list of notables in the show notes! Everyone’s telling favorite Kennywood stories and “Kennywood Outfit” stories!

#YaJagoffPodcast / Episode #022

So many things going on, a big Pittsburgh Magazine restaurant event and the famous 3 Rivers Arts Festival. But, it always rain on the Arts Festival, so much so, that you can plan your planting around it! So we have Hal B. Klein from Pittsburgh Magazine, Sarah Aziz from the Cultural Trust and hilarious WTAE Meteorologist Ray Petelin. On top of that, everyone talks about failed science projects.

Episode 22 Show Notes: “Raining on the Arts Festival”

Episode Music: Josh Herbert, “California”

• 00:45     We have a roomful of people for this podcast. Craig’s boys are doing baseball and failed science projects… something other than the standard baking soda volcano.
• 07:10     Hal B. Klein, Pittsburgh Magazine Associate Editor is on the phone from California, about the Pittsburgh’s Best Restaurants Party at Heinz Field, June 6^th.
• Use the code PARTY to get a discount on your event tickets.
• Does Hal have a failed science project story?
• 16:40     The 3 Rivers Arts Festival is coming, June 3^rd -12^th.  Sarah Aziz, from the Cultural Trust, goes over the event highlights and, probably, has the best (spoiler alert) failed science project story.
• 27:03     We pit Sarah against WTAE-TV meteorologist, Ray Petelin. We ask why it rains on every Arts Festival.  He actually brought stats – festival weather stats!!!!!  And, of course, he has a failed science project!
• 42:10     Wrap-up but nobody wants to go home! Sara doesn’t have a ride and Ray likes us (we think).
• Our buds, The Food Tasters  , pay homage to TJs Pub, Wilk’s Eats and Montana’s Rib and Chop House for support during #NationalBurgerMonth.
