Send us Fan MailThis week the boys break down the Morgan Wallen controversy after his Pittsburgh concert was suddenly canceled, leaving fans frustrated and city officials claiming they were never contacted about the decision. Fortunately, the Washington Wild Things stepped up and offered free tickets to disappointed concertgoers. The Pittsburgh Scanner delivers another all-time lineup of insanity, including a barber allegedly beating up a customer over a bad online review, a reported tiger loose on a balcony that turned out to be a chunky house cat, and perhaps the greatest scanner call of the year—a man riding a motorbike through Pittsburgh with a monkey on his back while allegedly macing pedestrians.Corndick of the Week features a tragic and bizarre story involving industrial-strength glue being used as a substitute for a condom, plus a police officer who went viral after ticketing a one-handed woman for allegedly holding a cellphone while driving. Brother in Arms brings the laughs with a Florida man desperately searching for his stolen seven-foot pet shark, a Louisiana fugitive who survived an alligator attack and still kept running from police, and eight students rescued after spending hours stranded 100 feet in the air on a stalled roller coaster. Throw in Gear Grinders and another ridiculous round of What Would Greenfield Do, and you've got one of the wildest episodes of the year.Everything GFP:https://linktr.ee/gfpSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/#greenfieldsfinest #GreenfieldsFinest #PittsburghPodcast #PittsburghNews #MorganWallen #PittsburghScanner #MonkeyWithAMace #CorndickOfTheWeek #BrotherInArms #OddNews #StolenShark #AlligatorAttack #RollerCoasterRescue #GearGrinders #WhatWouldGreenfieldDo #PodcastClips

Send us Fan MailThis week the boys break down the return of Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers for what he says will officially be his final NFL season. They also react to the Steelers being selected to play in the first-ever NFL Paris Game against the Saints and dive into another legendary batch of Pittsburgh Scanner calls — including a mysterious “Cocaine Van” rolling through Carrick, a man hiding from the rain while hookers repeatedly approach his car, and an elderly woman getting kicked out of Goodwill who decided to moon employees on her way out.Corndick of the Week gets ridiculous with a bank robber caught after allegedly using a third grader's homework as his robbery note, Walmart somehow shipping 165 pool noodles in 165 separate boxes, and an Englishman claiming he became the first person to pull a police car with his dong while on fire. The guy, not his johnson.. Brother in Arms features the launch of the controversial Enhanced Games where athletes openly use steroids while competing for million-dollar bonuses, plus a 98-year-old WWII veteran setting a world record by completing a wing walk for charity. Add in Gear Grinders and another brutal round of What Would Greenfield Do, and you've got one hell of an episode.Everything GFP:https://linktr.ee/gfpSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/#greenfieldsfinest #PittsburghPodcast #Steelers #AaronRodgers #NFLParisGame #PittsburghNews #PittsburghScanner #CorndickOfTheWeek #EnhancedGames #OddNews #BrotherInArms #PodcastClips #GearGrinders #WhatWouldGreenfieldDo #NFL
