That means they don’t increase car prices to make a fast buck during a time of inflation, instead they sell cars and build relationships. Visit RohrichHonda.com for all your vehicle needs.

Summary: The jagoffs have been talking about Radio.com and the excitement of being part of the Entercom team, and so it only seemed proper to don episode 1 our faves of the past, mixed with some new....a music artist. We made the jagoff/Entercom relationship legit with something old (interviews), something new (music with Aubrey Burchell), something borrowed (a new platform) and we wore blue...ok maybe not, but it is John’s fave color. Thanks to Entercom! Enjoy!
Music: Aubrey Burchell croons her tune ‘Memory.’

03:12 Kathleen and Kyle Conway: It is old home week at the Horse Trading Days even though we have never attended! The Conways are here as the organizers as well as major podcast fans!

10:59 Erica Shumaker (ShuBrew Brewing Company): Even the Guiness-only Rachael and the “I don’t drink citrus-tasting beer” John loved the special edition Horse Trading Days ShuBrew beer concocted by ShuBrew. The imagery on the cans is the icing on the beer cake!

36:11 Juliet Wahlenmayer MA, NCC Director of Adventures, Glade Run Adventures Once John figures out what Juliet is actually talking about, things go well. Not only is she the emcee of the Horse Trading Days horse parade, she is part of Glade Run Adventures that utilize horses for recovery and other therapies for humans.

Summary: Nothing spells out high profile podcast like spending the day at the KDKA studios...during the Hometown Hi Q finale. We had the chance to chat it up with sponsor representative, Sheri Cramblit, from Williams--a natural gas distributor, Marty Rogers, TV studio floor manager and high-end clapper for Hometown HighQ, as well as host with the most, Rick Dayton.
Music: Random game show music
SPONSOR: We are so excited about our newest sponsor Rohrich Honda in Bloomfield. Pittsburgh has known the Rohrich name since 1938. That’s the year when the Rohrich family automotive business started with that personal commitment to treat every customer like a friend coming to visit our own home. We invite you to visit the Bloomfield location for a personal relationship and potential new vehicle. Visit www.rohrich.com and experience the difference.
01:47 Sheri Clambit: Williams, which is a gas pipeline company that has been around for over 110 years, started in Tulsa, OK and has been in Pittsburgh for 10 years. Sheri discussed the importance of aligning with Hometown High Q since well-groomed students entering trade fields and colleges should learn teamwork—a skill desired for future Williams employees. She also talks about the longevity of the company and trade in our area.
15:45 Marty Rogers (head clapper): This guy has a permanent smile, callous-free hands, and a high IQ. He makes sure people don’t walk into cameras, has a special clapping technique, --double time to make it sound like an even larger audience) and holds his hands up high so people follow. What a dream job!
22:05 Rick Dayton: Although not the first host of the iconic show, since he is second to Ken Rice, he is celebrating their second decade. Rick talks about the kids, how the questions are developed and how the pressure can be on. Plus, find out if he knew then what he knows now..... Uh oh! Listen to find out!
NOTE: Make sure you sign on to KDKA-TV, Saturday, 11am to see who this season’s winner will be!

Summary: John and Rachael hit the night scene lottery! After 15 years of waiting, the 90-year-old Roxian Theater became new again and opened its doors to the New Mastersounds, a very excited crowd, and two anxious jagoffs. The duo welcomed legendary McKees Rocks native Pete Hewlett, Taris Vrcek, Community Development Corporation Executive Director, as well as New Mastersounds singer Lamar Williams Jr., and band originator Simon Allen.
Music: The New Mastersounds with Lamar Williams, Jr., “Can’t Hold Me Down” and “Trouble”
We are already in week two with our newest sponsor Rohrich Honda in Bloomfield. Pittsburgh has known the Rohrich name since 1938. That’s the year when the Rohrich family automotive business started with that personal commitment to treat every customer like a friend coming to visit our own home. We invite you to visit the Bloomfield location for a personal relationship and potential new vehicle. Visit www.rohrich.com and experience the difference
01:15 John and Rachael stopped lapping the streets of McKees Rocks waiting for signs of music life once they learned of the opening of the Roxian Theater in McKees Rocks. After a $9M renovation, it is now a world-class 1400-capactiy music venue.
04:21 McKees Rocks CDC Executive Director Taris Vrcek broke away from the hundreds of spectators from McKees Rocks and beyond to talk about the years of dedication it took to rebuild the theater. From vision to fruition, he reminisces the multiple start stops prior to becoming the Roxian. While music will be top of mind, the sky is the limit for entertainment at the new nightclub.
10:08 Pete Hewlett is Rachael’s favorite guest of all time, and he casually walks into what used to be a venue where he performed and discusses the musician’s code of conduct. Basically, that means that the newbies figure out the importance of music longevity, and the veterans learn to accept some new sounds. Then Pete heads to the Green Room with the jagoffs to chat music even more.
18:23 We hang in the green room with Pete and The New Mastersounds’ Simon Allen and Lamar Williams, Jr. who swap accents, stories and favorite breakfasts. These gents talk about legends they have performed with like Billy Joel, The Allman Brothers and more. The generations blended beautifully over music and where better than the city of Pittsburgh!

Summary: Two giddy and maybe starstruck Jagoffs found themselves awake earlier than usual to visit Entercom studios with the one and only team of Larry and John. Before getting the scoop on ‘Women Who Rock,’ thanks to Melinda Colaizzi, we ran into legendary Rick Sebak at the Entercom studio! Maybe this is the way to go for all podcasts? The earlier the better? Nah don’t be a Jagoff!
Music: Melinda Colaizzi, “Trouble” - ListenToMelinda.com

01:15 John and Rachael are secretly lurking behind the scenes at Entercom Pittsburgh... the home of KDKA-AM, Y-108, Star Pittsburgh 100.7 and 93.7 The Fan radio stations. Who can the creep on?

20:05 Pittsburgh icon, Rick Sebak of WQED, is “attacked” in the hallway of the studio by John and Rachael. He is back on his feet, literally, and has a new episode of his Nebby series ready, “Kennywood Summer.”

Summary: The jagoffs hit the runway at The Block Northway by hosting a ‘What Not to Wear’ jagoff version of a fashion show. Afterward, the new collections by fashion designers Kiya Tomlin and David Alan raised A-WEAR-ness at The Block Northway for charities Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) and Cuddles for Kids. As an added bonus to the event, Emilio from Izzazu inserts his usual flare and charm while Wahlburgers Pittsburgh, Blaze Pizza and CoreLife Eatery serves up delicious bites.
Music: Dueling Pianos
Question of the day: What spring fashion trend is a must to have, OR not have, in your closet?
04:39 Emilio: Prominent Pittsburgh beauty expert, and Izzazu co-owner, Emilio dresses to impress while showcasing signature store products from Izzazu Salon Spa and Blowout Bar. Emilio speaks hair and beauty tips while discussing Izzazu’s intimate styling and relaxation space, Serata, in its downtown and available North Hills location. And what grocery store can you get Izzazu product regularly?
11:04 David Alan: David Alan joins the podcast in suave style that every man needs in his closet. While changing the game of fashion for men in Pittsburgh, David also advocates for care and change through Cuddles for Kids.

Kiya Tomlin: Fashion guru and designer Kiya Tomlin joins the podcast in order to debut her spring collection at The Block Northway while shining a light on her charitable cause O.U.R. that eradicates child sex trafficking around the globe.

She is up-to-date with how to wear a fanny pack, and certainly knows what not to wear in current jagoff trends.
18:35 What NOT to Wear Fashion Show Narration
28:04 Phil Little and Vince Ryan: Phil Little struts his Steelers jersey and oversized, Jenko pants down the runway in true ignorance of fashion; and Pittsburgh pride. He is running for North Hills School Board and will certainly earn some title for sporting fashion faux pas bravery. His runway partner, Vince Ryan of Kennedy, dresses from head-to-toe in St. Patrick’s Day gear including showing some kilt-knee for the ladies. His fanny pack accessory wins some leeway with the judges, but his facial hair does not. Catch all the dreadful moments of hilarity from the YaJagoff “How NOT to dress” fashion show through YaJagoff Facebook.

Summary: The jagoff duo took Uncle Joey to Liberty Magic where the game Clue-like atmosphere set the scene for a “how’d that happen’ kinda podcast. Lee Terbosic talked about his Houdini connection and the importance of staying in Pittsburgh to make magic, and Venue Manager and Host, Graham Fandrei, a Belize-native, beamed with pride since Pittsburgh is one-in-a-million as a magic hub hosted by the Cultural Trust. Pittsburgh Business Show creators Bryan and Linda Jo Thornberg talked about making magic for business networking with their third year of presenting the business show with a women’s expo addition this year.
Music: You Are My Sunshine (ML’s fav family song)
Question of the day: We are talking making magic happen, if you could make one thing disappear what would it be?
00:48 Intro with John and Rachael about Liberty Magic at one time being the Arcade Comedy Theater and the building known for sell-out crowds.
02:19 Lee Terbosic reminds us of his preparation for Houdini 100 and how it paved the way to the Discovery Channel’s interest in four episodes of an upcoming series. Plus, what would he want to make disappear outside of a planned show?
30:11 Linda Jo and Bryan Thornberg are used to having their hands in multiple projects, and the Pittsburgh Business Show is one of the most successful. Vendors from all over the city and beyond have a chance to network and educate others about their business model. A speed networking event, multiple speakers, podcast pod and more will take this year to a whole new level. Plus use the word Ya Jagoff and get a special ticket price.
43:07 Graham Fandrei is the first guy you see at Liberty Magic, and warms up the crowd at each show with anecdotes and some magic of his own. His opera-trained voice lures you to stay and maybe take in the VIP portion of the entertainment-packed evening.

Summary: Home is where the heart is....wait there is no place like home, (add heel clicking), better yet, there is no place like home for the holidays—pick your cliché this Christmas Day and enjoy a listen from past ‘Burgers who long for home. The jagoffs interviewed West Coast comedians Joe Barnick and Andy Picarro where else but a ‘Stillers’ tailgate as they people watch the Pittsburgh Steeler jersey trend. Then we phone a friend or two to chat about a booming West Coast podcast ‘Givem The Biz’ that focuses on day-to-day business tips and stories thanks to Bill Harvanek and John Tabis. Plus, enjoy friend of the podcast, Dan Malarkey singing jagoff holiday tunes.
Music: Dan Malarkey, friend of the podcast delights us with his jagoff versions of holiday hymns.
SPONSOR: Total Sports Enterprises knows you want to shop til you drop with inventory available beyond the holidays. With public and private signings, TSE will be sure to have that perfect black and gold gift this holiday season and after. Visit the Mall at Robinson for that perfect after holiday gift or check out tseshop.com for all of your black and gold needs
Question of the day: What is your favorite Pittsburgh holiday memory?
3:03 Andy/Joe: With tailgate sounds like pump up music and Here We Go Steelers chants filling the air, once ‘Burgh comedians Andy Picarro and Joe Bartnick joined the craziness and weighed in on Pittsburgh looks, the Steelers craze nationwide, and the biggest difference between Pittsburgh life and being on the West Coast. Other than being comedians with busy schedules, both co-host podcasts that are humor based with hockey talk. Check out Joe’s Puck off! and Andy’s Unhealthy Scratch Podcast.
17:59 Billy/John: John and Rachael get major props for comparing this high-energy typical business realm podcast to no other than the WDVE morning show. These former Rural Ridge dwellers proudly take the compliment and give us a glimpse of the fun and facts to hosting a podcast about the trials and tribulations to building and entrepreneurship anywhere, plus they share Pittsburgh must do’s when returning home for the holidays. Who built igloos during a major snow storm? One of these guys reflects on that memory since it never snows in Calli.
Thanks Dan Malarkey: Not sure if a CD or song release party is in the works, but since Dan refused to attend the PDP Holiday Karaoke, the jagoffs gave him a platform to perform holiday faves.

Just like yesterday's YaJagoff.com blog post, let's keep it low key. Prior to knowing about the Squirrel Hill tragedy, we recorded an interview with former Steelers J.T. Thomas and Donnie Shell. Given the current mood, you may find the brief interview an opportunity to be proud of who we are.
Thanks for understanding our low-key approach this week.

Summary: The Jagoff duo headed to the Clemente Bridge for the 4th annual Picklesburgh celebration of all things pickles. From bacon coated delights to juice drinking contests and even some pickle-flavored whiskey, this event never disappoints. We chatted with Leigh White of Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership about the progression of the green scene, as well as Mairin Petrone of the other green scene: The Pittsburgh Irish Festival.
Episode Music: The Screaming Orphans,
Sponsor: Total Sports Enterprises loves summer.

Every podcast needs a theme! The YaJagoff podcast will certainly not under deliver! So consider this week’s a double theme with hijacking other people’s podcasts… and their name has to be Mike! Well, and we couldn’t miss John Knight being aggravated about something. Lucky for us, he is not aggravated about comedian Mike Wysocki‘s standup shows, successful Epicast podcast, or Dr. Mike’s tips on how to make holidays accommodating for pets. Even if your name isn’t Mike and you don’t have a podcast to hijack, listen in and don’t be aggravated! Question of the Day: Favorite #LUN moment?

01:05 Rachael and John are discussing the joy of hijacking OPP! Other People’s Podcasts, yo. The jagoffs met for the first time in months at the Podcast studio to prepare for #LUN17 and exchange previous Light Up Night stories.

34:44 The only guy not named Mike, but part of a podcast even though it can’t be hijacked because it’s our own, John Knight chats driving jagoffs, a stroll down Chamberlin lane and his wife’s bday! Plus, will he go near Comcast Light Up Night?
