Pittsburgh Dad is supposed to be on The Price Is Right.

Oh good, I can't ****ing wait for tired jokes about redding up and Permanty's.

The headline of every single local media outlet is going to be "Come on DAHN!" and you know it.

Then they probably talked BS and teased for three minutes and then another 7 minute break.

They did do a live read for the James Connor show that I could have added another 130 on for. I also count their 20 on 20 sports update as a commercial since it’s a prerecorded bit of time sucking non-sense

Crowley has the weirdest voice inflection I've ever heard. He does this thing at the end of his sentences that I can't get past. Or explain apparently.

PM Team playing the hits today. Listened for 3 minutes at the beginning of the show and Mullzy hit us with an "As a dad...." and Poni brought up his dick surgery from like a year ago.

They had one of their shows at the meatball restaurant last week and Poni complain about not getting to finish his meatballs or something “we don’t have long between breaks” as the reason. When he said that it had been over ten minutes since he last spoke before the break.

The PM Team geniuses were gloating a few weeks ago how they were part of the few always on the Duck train and wanted him to start, and now they threw him to the curb.

So apparently Rob King will be doing play by play for dem Stillers because Bill Hillgrove is recovering from back surgery...

He has the blandest voice of all. Never would have made it on radio.

Not sure I'd want him as Hilgrove's replacement, but I thought he did a good job as the backup.

The Steelers color guys however are awful.

In a completely shocking turn, Rossi is also one of the media dbags that publicly complains to airlines. Poor guy. None of us know how it feels to experience travel issues during the holidays.

Sadly if someone has anxiety to the point where they can’t risk flying alone, best plan is to stay on the ground. Stuff can and does happen and they will do what they can.

Love Rossi’s mental (lol) stretch there. United treating MY sister like just another passenger even though she takes anxiety meds like some not insignificant number of other passengers means they don’t care about mental health.

United is the worst but leave it up to Rossi to make into a entitlement soap opera. Might have been better off doing those in a DM. Oh and probably like 75% of the population dead with anxiety.

I don't even understand his argument. What happens to his family, is what happens to everyone when there's a mechanical/weather issue.

Just because she has anxiety, and was visiting someone in the Military, doesn't give them a priority, considering there were a lot of people likely stuck in that exact scenario.

Did this fall through the cracks or did I miss it? Granted I was away for a week+ over Christmas, but I figured this would have gotten more pub from the local media.

Anyone else catch Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s entire segment on the merits of sauerkraut this morning?
I'm almost afraid to ask.
A brief recap:

Pittsburgh Dad Jr.:

- loves sauerkraut (or should I say "lllllllllllllloves", as is his annoying tendency to drag out all of his "L" syllables)
- will only eat it with a meat item, not on it's own
- understands that people may have taste/texture/smell issues with it
- Colony does not eat sauerkraut
- while most people, upon entering a home where sauerkraut is being cooked, might be put off or, say, GAG, he finds it incredibly welcoming and comforting
- were it not for his children and the risk of carrying the smell around, he would have a sauerkraut scented air freshener in his car
- recommends putting he sauerkraut (after being squeezed of juices by tongs) UNDER the hot dog when consuming as such, for the best and most palatable wiener - a hot dog bun full of sauerkraut juice just turns into a sponge and is no bueno.

Again - an entire segment on a SPORTS TALK SHOW. Granted, Fan segments are relatively short, but an entire segment where he waxes poetic about sauerkraut was excruciating. But, like the trainwreck the Fan usually is, I couldn't look away.
