  • Episode 40

    40 is the new 30! Coming to you live from the Cathedral for this week’s episode where we make our decision on whom we’re going to support as the patron podcast. We recap Beer Night and choose the latest Living Legend of PGH Dive Bar Talk…The people have spoken, and we’ve now confirmed what we’ve known all along…Tiny is indeed…adorable. Unanimously voted by those lacking Y chromosomes. There you have it. We end the intro with a salute to an old basketball friend we lost last week. Here’s to ya, Jimmy…dribbling is overrated! The Prince of Pittsburgh then tells a few stories about why things are better in pairs (22:10). PETA makes us fuzzy in the Facts of the Week. And don’t forget to pack your doggy bags for when you climb Mount Everest (31:51). The excessive boozing may have handicapped this week’s Movie and Music Game. We hope you fare better than Tiny (40:08). Would You Rather pits rivals from the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall against each other…it’s Kristen Bell or Mila Kunis (54:09). Samurai Chatter continues wraps with two of our own, made up WYRs as you keep learning more about us and we finish with a quote from Groucho Marx (1:05:18).

    There’s a few new features and, as always, a chance to win a free shirt for participating in the Pick 3.

The Prince’s empire spans the entire state not just Pittsburgh! The Facts of the
    Week continue with more from St. Valentine, a man of many talents apparently. If you’re budget is tight, may we suggest a Filipino group wedding on Valentines Day? (23:59) We persevere through the Movie & Music Game…more than once (33:01).

    If you’ve ever felt gymnophoria, we’re pretty sure your hunch was correct…that is, if the Prince of Pittsburgh was in the same room

    with you! We kickoff Episode 36 discussing this as well as Hugh Hefner, Dante’s Inferno, and we offer alternatives to help you with your road rage.

    Episode 34 features a very good interview with Jim Kratsas. He’s most known for going to school with the Prince of Pittsburgh, but he’s also met six US Presidents and worked for two of them as a museum curator at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta and deputy director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids. Don’t miss these stories and interactions with the Bill Russell, Bobby Knight, Arnold Palmer and the Prince of Pittsburgh, including some old war stories from high school…it’s some of the show’s best work to date. We managed to squeeze the Movie Game in and Samurai Chatter, but the interview is the focus this week. Tune in, you’ll be glad you did.

    We’re going international for Episode 33. Our newest venture

    running of the bulls in the New Jersey train station, dumb criminals and disoriented Russian stowaways (20:46). Speaking of dumb, see if you can beat Tiny in the Movie Game / Music Game (26:57). Then find out why the Prince isn’t happy when he’s
    at the gym (35:22). This week’s Would You Rather keeps it in the family with Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. We finish up with Samurai Chatter and a quote from Judge Smails. (51:29)

    Episode 32 shows our true professionalism as we were able

    to overcome the odds and create exciting, new content in less-than-ideal circumstances...for you, the fans! We ponder changing our names and rebranding the show for the new year and round out the intro with reading fan comments from last week. From there, the Prince of Pittsburgh shows off his softer, emotional side in a segment he calls Tears of a Clown (13:38). The FOTW return after last week’s hiatus with a Darwin-award nominee involving more aquatic critters, optimists and astronauts. (19:32) The ever-popular Movie Game/Music Game is back again for your participation trophy mantle. (26:05) After which, the Prince takes issue with the post office and funeral processions. (33:35) F / Marry / Chili / Hopscotch will have you seeing red. (39:01) And we corral the unruly and obnoxious studio audience as long as we can to try and finish Samurai Chatter. (45:08)
