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.

Send us Fan MailThis week the boys dive into some Pittsburgh news, including the Mon Incline shutting down. The crew debates the future of the iconic incline while the Pittsburgh Scanner delivers chaos as usual — from a woman allegedly huffing canned air inside Vento's Pizza to people driving around Homewood in a fake garbage truck trying to collect trash like some kind of low-budget sanitation heist.Corndick of the Week gets dark with an Arkansas principal and teachers getting arrested over a “child fight club” incident, while in Hawaii a tourist who threw a rock at an endangered monk seal got a street-level lesson from a local man who wasn't having it. Brother in Arms features a woman suing after losing her job over an airplane seat controversy, UK kids effortlessly fooling online age verification systems with fake mustaches and video game characters, a Lamborghini driver shutting down internet outrage by revealing his prosthetic leg, and a group of seniors pulling off an all-time prank by cutting a car in half and making it look like it crashed into their school.

Send us Fan MailThe boys break down a massive week in Pittsburgh, starting with the NFL Draft shattering records with over 800,000 people in attendance and authorities cracking down on counterfeit merch. They dive into the Steelers' full draft class, give their takes on the new additions, and hit on the Penguins clawing back in their playoff series. The Pittsburgh Scanner delivers classic chaos — including a suspect running face-first into a pole mid-chase, some risky train-hopping activity, and two grown men allegedly squaring up with a group of 10-year-olds… only for everyone to admit it was just “play fighting.”Corndick of the Week brings the madness with a lawsuit from the PNC Park belt-whipping incident, a groom showing up to his wedding in a full Adidas tracksuit, and a woman using AI to bring her late husband back as a hologram for his own funeral. Brother in Arms gets even wilder with Mike Tomlin heading to NBC and dropping classic Tomlin-isms, and the debut of the “Sperm Racing World Cup” — a full-blown bracket-style competition for microscopic swimmers with a $100K prize.

They catch up on life, The Masters, and a loaded week in Pittsburgh — from Penn Brewery filing Chapter 11 (don't worry, they're still pouring) to the Pirates randomly dominating, and the Penguins punching their ticket back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With the NFL Draft right around the corner, the city is buzzing, and the Pittsburgh Scanner delivers classics — including a gun found in some hedges, a finger stuck in a sweeper, and a full-blown investigation into whether a couple was “repopulating” inside a stuck elevator.Corndick of the Week brings the madness with a Florida bus driver driving through a train crossing with kids onboard, a viral TikTok trend of people running into Scientology buildings, and insane stadium foods like a 1-pound “Glizzilla” hot dog and nachos you can wear as a hat. Brother in Arms keeps things rolling with space history as the Artemis II mission wraps up, a 91-year-old woman too locked in on video games to answer a police welfare check, and a massive archive of rare live concert recordings finally being shared with the world.

Sometimes an episode of AwesomeCast really shows the full range of what makes the show fun. Episode 775 goes from the emotional high of a successful Artemis 2 splashdown all the way to the absurd joy of seeing someone force macOS onto an original Nintendo Wii. Sorg and Podnar open with one of the week's best feel-good tech stories: Artemis 2 made it home successfully, and Dave shares the unexpectedly charming story of the mission mascot RISE. In a week that needed some good news, the conversation lands on something larger than space hardware alone. This was about optimism, engineering, and a rare moment of collective excitement. Then the show pivots back to Earth with the kind of story that feels custom-made for AwesomeCast: yes, someone got early Mac OS X running on a Nintendo Wii. It is not practical. It is not necessary. It is absolutely wonderful. That same spirit carries into Sorg's hands-on experiment with Mythic, a tool aimed at helping M-series Mac users access Windows games through the Epic ecosystem. The conversation explores how much better Apple Silicon has become for compatibility, even if some rough edges still show up in real-world testing. A big chunk of the episode also digs into Amazon Luna's latest changes. Sorg reacts to the platform ending game purchases and outside store access, and the discussion quickly becomes about more than Luna itself. It becomes a conversation about trust in digital platforms, cloud gaming ownership, and what happens when convenience gets taken away after users have already bought in. It is one of the sharpest segments in the episode because it blends personal use with a bigger industry trend. There is also a lighter side this week. Dave shares The Weather Channel's retro weather experience, which sends both hosts into a funny and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about the old cable era, nostalgic interfaces, and how channels drift from their original purpose. On the more practical side, they also touch on Overcast's new transcript support and Waymo's plan to help cities identify potholes using vehicle data. That latter topic turns into a very Pittsburgh-flavored discussion about 311 systems, local government tech, and whether cities are really taking advantage of the tools they have. Finally, Dave closes with his Arab American History Month spotlight on Tony Fadell, best known for his work on the iPod and Nest. It is a fitting end to an episode that is really about the many layers of tech: breakthrough engineering, strange experimentation, product design, infrastructure, nostalgia, and how all of it shapes everyday life.

This week's AwesomeCast brought together one of those classic mixes that makes the show so much fun: real tech questions, weird internet discoveries, nostalgic gaming talk, and a strong dose of Pittsburgh personality. Sorg, Katie, and Dave Podnar kick things off with their Awesome Things of the Week, and the lineup is wonderfully varied. Dave looks ahead to Artemis II, the upcoming crewed moon mission that will send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit for the first time in decades. The conversation covers how the mission works, why the far side of the moon still creates communication challenges, and why “just rebuilding Apollo” is not nearly as simple as some people assume. Katie's pick is much closer to home, at least for Pittsburghers: Heinz Verified. The new site helps users find restaurants that serve Heinz ketchup, making it both practical and hilarious for anyone who has ever been personally offended by mystery catsup in a diner bottle. The crew immediately starts checking cities they'll be traveling to and appreciates that users can nominate restaurants for inclusion. Sorg's pick highlights Chachi's 3D-printing Etsy shop, Plastic Fun Time. From the now-famous bag of Fs to the Rock Lobster and other fun prints, it's a cool look at somebody taking a maker hobby and turning it into a real side business. It also turns into a broader appreciation for creative small-scale production and clever product design. The middle of the episode gets more serious with a discussion around a Stanford study on AI chatbot advice. Katie explains how researchers tested large language models against stories from the “Am I the Asshole?” subreddit and found that chatbots often validated problematic behavior more than humans did. That opens the door to a bigger conversation about AI agreeability, emotional dependency, digital literacy, and what it means when people begin treating chatbots like close confidants instead of tools. The AI thread continues with What's Up With That, a browser extension built to help readers analyze articles, pull out new signals, simplify jargon, and better connect ideas across sources. For anyone doing research-heavy work, the crew sees real promise in the concept. On the creative side, Dave shares Adobe Illustrator's Project Turntable, which can rotate 2D vector art in 3D space. That sparks a discussion about animation workflows, creative accessibility, and the kinds of production bottlenecks tools like this might reduce. The episode also finds time for ChannelSurfer.tv, a retro-TV style interface for YouTube, plus a look at Apple's TikTok presence, where the company seems to be leaning into a Finder-inspired mascot to help explain macOS features in a more playful way. Dave also wraps up Women's History Month by spotlighting several women who shaped space science, leading to a thoughtful discussion about visibility, representation, and why stories like these matter. And then, in true AwesomeCast fashion, the crew ends up hyped about LEGO Zelda sets, including Ocarina of Time: The Final Battle and the Great Deku Tree, prompting nostalgia, sticker shock, and renewed debate over whether Sorg finally needs to properly play Ocarina of Time. If you like your tech podcasts with equal parts curiosity, commentary, and chaos, this is a great episode.

This week's AwesomeCast brought together one of those classic mixes that makes the show so much fun: real tech questions, weird internet discoveries, nostalgic gaming talk, and a strong dose of Pittsburgh personality. Sorg, Katie, and Dave Podnar kick things off with their Awesome Things of the Week, and the lineup is wonderfully varied. Dave looks ahead to Artemis II, the upcoming crewed moon mission that will send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit for the first time in decades. The conversation covers how the mission works, why the far side of the moon still creates communication challenges, and why “just rebuilding Apollo” is not nearly as simple as some people assume. Katie's pick is much closer to home, at least for Pittsburghers: Heinz Verified. The new site helps users find restaurants that serve Heinz ketchup, making it both practical and hilarious for anyone who has ever been personally offended by mystery catsup in a diner bottle. The crew immediately starts checking cities they'll be traveling to and appreciates that users can nominate restaurants for inclusion. Sorg's pick highlights Chachi's 3D-printing Etsy shop, Plastic Fun Time. From the now-famous bag of Fs to the Rock Lobster and other fun prints, it's a cool look at somebody taking a maker hobby and turning it into a real side business. It also turns into a broader appreciation for creative small-scale production and clever product design. The middle of the episode gets more serious with a discussion around a Stanford study on AI chatbot advice. Katie explains how researchers tested large language models against stories from the “Am I the Asshole?” subreddit and found that chatbots often validated problematic behavior more than humans did. That opens the door to a bigger conversation about AI agreeability, emotional dependency, digital literacy, and what it means when people begin treating chatbots like close confidants instead of tools. The AI thread continues with What's Up With That, a browser extension built to help readers analyze articles, pull out new signals, simplify jargon, and better connect ideas across sources. For anyone doing research-heavy work, the crew sees real promise in the concept. On the creative side, Dave shares Adobe Illustrator's Project Turntable, which can rotate 2D vector art in 3D space. That sparks a discussion about animation workflows, creative accessibility, and the kinds of production bottlenecks tools like this might reduce. The episode also finds time for ChannelSurfer.tv, a retro-TV style interface for YouTube, plus a look at Apple's TikTok presence, where the company seems to be leaning into a Finder-inspired mascot to help explain macOS features in a more playful way. Dave also wraps up Women's History Month by spotlighting several women who shaped space science, leading to a thoughtful discussion about visibility, representation, and why stories like these matter. And then, in true AwesomeCast fashion, the crew ends up hyped about LEGO Zelda sets, including Ocarina of Time: The Final Battle and the Great Deku Tree, prompting nostalgia, sticker shock, and renewed debate over whether Sorg finally needs to properly play Ocarina of Time.

Send us a textThis week on Greenfield's Finest Podcast, the boys are back with a loaded episode! Mike talks about hosting Impractical Jokers' Joe Gatto at the Pittsburgh Improv, while the crew breaks down the Steelers' rollercoaster 2 weekS — a win over the Colts, a loss to the Chargers, and a roster shake-up that sent fan-favorite Beanie Bishop packing. They also weigh in on George Pickens' taunting penalty, Jayden Daniels' gnarly elbow injury, and Antonio Brown's latest headline-grabbing arrest.Over in the ‘Burgh, College GameDay's rolling into town, the Mon Incline went full “Die Hard rescue mission,” and the Pittsburgh Scanner is absolutely unhinged — naked greeters, mooning neighbors, and a dude with an axe in the Strip. The guys also roast TikTok's “onion feet” trend, discuss Leslie Jones calling out Tony Hinchcliffe, and say goodbye to Ridiculousness after 14 years. Stick around for Brother in Arms and What Would Greenfield Do? — where the boys debate Christmas decorations, old wives' tales, and the most overrated beer on the market.Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/

They recap the Steelers' loss to Green Bay, look ahead to the Colts matchup, and debate how much cheese they really eat in a year. The guys also discuss a new study that says men should hang out with their friends twice a week, NASA's confirmation of a new “mini moon,” and the latest breakthrough that could finally cure baldness.

Broderick Jones made headlines after tackling his own Aaron Rodgers, Jerry Jones got fined for flipping off Jets fans (allegedly by accident), and NBC's B1G SATURDAY banner had some... unfortunate placement.In this week's Pittsburgh Scanner Report, someone called 911 after taking 500mg of edibles, another guy got flashed on Wood Street, and the city's gone so quiet that cops are handling parking complaints. The guys also talk about airlines charging to recline seats, China's 24-hour traffic jam, Kim K not knowing what milk costs, Gen Z's “rawdogging life” challenge, and a new study claiming masturbation might lower prostate cancer risk. A Pittsburgh teacher breaks a Steel Curtain record, MTV shuts down its music channels, and a 69-year-old grandpa literally commits a crime just to hang out with his grandson in prison.All that and more on this week's episode of Greenfield's Finest Podcast!Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/
Send us a textIt's the Greenfield's Finest Podcast 300th Episode Celebration!
In Episode 487 of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer is joined by producer Mike Sorg for a heartfelt conversation rooted in the enduring wisdom of Fred Rogers. Together, they explore themes of uncertainty, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance through the lens of full-impact mindfulness. This episode dives into Mr. Rogers' most impactful quotes, including “I like you just the way you are,” and how these simple yet profound affirmations can guide us through fear, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Jim and Mike reflect on the concept of “leveling up” in life like a video game—gaining experience, becoming more resilient, and making meaningful choices. Listeners will hear discussions on: • Managing emotions by making them “mentionable and manageable” • Accepting life's challenges without needing immediate solutions • The importance of being a helper—or recognizing helpers around you • The difference between kindness and being “right” • Embracing who you are and offering that same grace to others End your day with a moment of mindfulness, self-kindness, and the reminder that you already have something valuable to offer the world.

Send us a textThis week on Greenfield's Finest Podcast we've got special guest comedian Matt Light hanging with the boys. Z-Bird breaks down his week of standup and Burgh Bus chaos before we dive into the Steelers' loss to the Seahawks, James Harrison being spotted riding the escalator like a regular Yinzer, and why social media is ruining player comradery. We also take a detour into Danny DeVito's wild coke story about Arnold Schwarzenegger, and—because we're mature adults—reminisce about seeing our first boobs on TV and figuring out the art of “self-discovery.” Oh, and in peak Pittsburgh fashion, someone on Craigslist is offering cash for a wedding crasher armed with eggs.From there we hit Corndick of the Week, with Tom Brady announcing his big comeback—not to the NFL, but to a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia featuring Gronk, Tyreek Hill, Saquon Barkley, and Kevin Hart hosting. In Brother in Arms, we look back at a Florida man who survived a hang gliding nightmare after realizing mid-air he wasn't strapped in. We also break down a Publishers Clearing House winner getting cut off after cashing $3 million, a Disneyland firework gone wrong, and MrBeast taking a gut punch from Mike Tyson. As always, we wrap with “What Would Greenfield Do?”—like who'd crush a tough mudder, biggest celebs we've met, and what Pittsburgh really needs.All that and more on this week's episode of Greenfield's Finest Podcast.Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/
Send us a textThe boys are back and Z-Bird is celebrating a huge milestone—10 years sober! John even surprised him with a Cameo from undercover legend Joe Pistone, aka Donnie Brasco. From there, it's all Pittsburgh chaos: Kennywood's 21+ nights are officially canceled after too many fights, parents and kids are brawling outside Clayton Academy, a crossing guard calls in about a kid refusing school, and someone in Larimer needs the cops to kick their grass guy off the lawn.Then it's on to the wild stuff: a Polish millionaire steals a hat from a kid at a tennis match, Will Smith fakes his crowds with A.I., and Rampage Jackson's son Raja goes off-script at a wrestling show, breaking a guy's jaw. Brother in Arms brings us dating drama with 9 kids, cops apologizing for clowning on adult toys, The Rock slimming down into “The Pebble,” and a German dude who somehow kept a WWII tank in his basement. The boys wrap things up with Gear Grinders and some big “What Would Greenfield Do?” hypotheticals, like stealing autographs from kids, saving your top three items in an explosion, and bringing back a long-lost Pittsburgh bar for one more week.All that and more on this week's episode of Greenfield's Finest Podcast.Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/

Brother in Arms highlights a kid who tried to start his own country and Christian Bale's massive foster-care project. Plus—burnt ribeye steaks on the highway, underrated Steelers debates, and the all-important question: how many raccoons could you realistically fight barehanded?All that and more on this week's episode of Greenfield's Finest Podcast.Check out our upcoming events, social media, and merch sale at the link below https://linktr.ee/GFP Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7viuBywVXF4e52CHUgk1i5 Produced by Lane Media https://www.lanemediapgh.com/

The boys are back after the disaster that occurred last week when the original episode 169 was lost forever. We bring everybody up to speed on what they missed that week, recap Mike Perry knocking out Luke Rockhold's teeth at BKFC 41, explain why Rockhold is more of a jellyfish than a man, and Lino and Ian debate whether or not Conor McGregor is a traitor for facing off with Perry and wearing the BKFC belt. The conversation leads Ian and Lino into another debate on whether or not local competition is good when it comes to business, whether or not fanny packs are cool, and Lino puts all the cards out on the table and tells Ian something he's been holding in since we first made our Slip The Jab engraved keychains. We revisit Jorge Masvidal lighting Conor up after at the BMF post fight press conference, some of the most infamous moments in boxing history, and recap Yadong Song defeating Ricky Simon at UFC Vegas 72. Afterwards Lino and Ian get into a serious conversation about the heroin and fentanyl epidemic, Ian opens up about his brother who passed away from a tragic overdose, then give our Slip Picks and Ianalysis for UFC 288 Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo. We play the "How They Got Their Name Game", discuss Tito Ortiz losing a battle to a 9G centrifuge, Lino's man about China being the first to build a lunar habitat on the Moon, Ian believes we never went to the moon at all, we announce this weeks nine banger alerts, and Lino wants to change the United States trial by jury system, but Ian disagrees. We end by introducing a new segment called "Pre-post Fight Song of the Week Song", then end with the official "Post Fight Song of The Week Song.

Season 11 consists of episodes that are all recorded “on location” at unique venues. I decided to get out of the studio and into the city in order to bring you behind the scenes of some amazing local businesses. If you've ever wanted to know more about the nitty-gritty of how a business operates, then this is the season for you. Each episode includes a tour of the location, and we get access to parts of the business that most people never get to see. Plus, we have the added benefit of sitting down with the entrepreneurs to discuss the origin stories behind their business concepts.Thanks for listening and for your support.
