The Pittsburgh Poddy - Two Sisters Talking Crap In The ‘Burgh

After battling colds, we're back baby! Pittsburgh is the most "Pittsburgh" in fall and we're standing behind that. Hear Britt's argument on that opinion that runs entirely too long! We also take a ~deep~ dive into allllll the reasons that Deep Creek Lake is the ultimate destination from Pittsburgh for weekend trips, weeklong trips, bach parties, fall reunions, the list goes on and on. We talk a li...

Hockey nights in Pittsburgh are back and so is Oktoberfest and a million other fall festivals! We love all of the above so expect a little too much excitement in this episode. Another thing we’re excited about is the grand opening of Citizens at the Wylie, Pittsburgh’s newest event and concert venue! The city needed this big time.   Other incredibly important topics this week include why yinzers a...

Normally we'd say "it's fall y'all!" but that would just be sacrilegious. Lots of fall festivals and Oktoberfests are on deck for the next few weeks -- now all we can hope is that they don't ALL GET RAINED OUT. It's finally a hockey night in Pittsburgh and thank heavens because our other major league teams are not getting us into the spirit of sports.    We're also yapping it up about our recent e...

Praise the Lord, Steelers football is back and the season started with a win!! We’re breaking down what you need to know for the game this Sunday and our thoughts on the dub over the Falcons.   After a quick poddy break, we’ve got Maria’s Ren Faire recap and Britt’s surprise trip to Italy to cover. Don’t worry, we’ve still got plenty of local content ready for yinz. Covered bridge festival details...

Alright, we’ll say it. We’ve never been to the Renaissance Festival nor have we really even looked into it. After doing way too deep of a dive into the events they’ve got throughout September, we think it’s fair to say that it sounds absolutely nuts but honestly pretty fun. Will we go ourselves?! Only time will tell.    Other items that only time will also tell? Where we go for Maria’s bach trip a...

Happy back to school to all who celebrate! We don't personally celebrate, but back to school season did have us thinking about what schools and townships are viewed as being the preppiest in Pittsburgh. So we put together a list of course!    After we got our tan on at Salom Kismet and got out tone on with Flo Yoga, we can officially say the poddy is proud to be working on pilates bodies. But beli...

This almost feels like a Coke or Pepsi type of episode -- Dino's vs Sharky's, Nuh-trona vs Nay-trona, Luh-trobe vs Lay-trobe and gifts at an engagement party vs no gifts at an engagement party. Don't worry, we have thoughts on all of the above, along with our experience at Bloomfield's Little Italy Days, a look at this weekend's Banana Split Festival, Wine Festival and Water Lantern Festival!    A...

Are you a girl? Do you like to golf but only want to play at places where you know you'll feel welcomed & not like your beginner to mid-level presence is a burden? Britt's tried out quite a few spots with her golf girl gang and lays out some of the best and worst.   We also break down some of Pittsburgh's most iconic jingles (and a few of our nationwide favs) as we reminisce on the good ole da...

If we sound absolutely insane in this episode, just know that Britt was given a slight concussion from a painting Maria put behind her so bare with us here. But it was Maria's birthweek so we're giving her a pass. We're talking the Festival of Nations, all the brawls that went down this past week between Steelers training camp and Tacos & Tequila, and the lure surrounding "The Demon House of B...

Today's episode feels almost like one of The Morning Freak Show's Florida stories. We've got a pizza being punted after 11 pm and Barb the emu being killed in our first airing of Controversy Corner. Much less controversial is Joe Mangianello & Caitlin O'Connor's chihuahua's collab with Mediterra to create the Bubbles Hot Honey Latte. We can't tell you how excited we are to try that one! Other...

What a freakin' WEEK this past one was! @pittsburghpersonified said it best -- we can't eat the lettuce, go outside or go east of the city. Could the Canadian wildfire smoke really have been that much worse than smog from the steel mills? The millenial/Gen Z world may never know but we do know it certainly didn't stop Picklesburgh, the Zeli Horse Trading Days or the PVGP. This coming week we've go...

Has there ever been a more Yinzer episode title than this one? We hope so but doubt it. There's a little something for everyone in the burgh this week between the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and Picklesburgh. Something that's not for everyone: the frickin cyclopsoriasis that's going around and ruining tummies. Wash your hands and produce, people! After being absolutely slaughtered in our IG &amp...

Happy belated bday America :) What an absolute time to be alive. We had some great 4th of July festivities this week but our biggest ticket item was finishing this sentence: "I wish Pittsburgh had..."  What we learned is that a LOT of people love basketball and not a lot of people love the incline. It is what it is.    Hosted by Brittany Claybaugh & Maria Claybaugh right across the room from B...

Andddd we're back! We took a quick trip to the absolutely stunning streets of Cape May and ate. it. up. Go there if you haven't. Lots & lots went down back in the 'burgh this week between the Pens going under new ownership, Schwebels' bread going under no ownership, one of Britt's favorite people losing his job, the draft of the Ruck twins -- the list goes on & on! Listen in for alllll of...

If there's one thing we love, it's summer. And what comes with summertime? Concerts. We've got your lineup of the big dogs coming to Pittsburgh in July! Just don't forget to get refundable tickets in case it storms & your fav artist pulls a Wallen. Summer also brings lots of salad cravings so we dug deeper into the history of the beloved PGH salad.   More importantly than anything else, Maria...

People who don't think summer is the best season are plain wrong. Ella Fellas, Langley ladies and people who bought tickets to see Morgan Wallen have every right to be upset. But people who don't like Pittsburgh salads... are nuts. This week we've got Bandaloos, more Gennings Dunker, a pig house and the lineup of everywhere you'll want to go this week.   Hosted by Brittany Claybaugh & Maria Cl...

If you've made it to episode 10, thanks for keeping with us because this is one of our wiliest chats yet. It's a sweet one too as we took a deep dive into the history of the Pittsburgh wedding cookie table AND the real difference between jimmies and sprinkles. Looking forward to Wallen weekend and more of the best weather ever but also looking back at the coolest little blue moon and the end of an...

"The Air Freshener" has made its inaugural debut! It was a wet weather week in the 'burgh for MDW but we've got good weather and great vibes on the horizon. It's farmers market season, baby! We're talking about all our favorites, especially when it comes to night markets in every part of town we could find. What couldn't we find nearly enough history about, you ask? Rialto Street (AKA one of the s...

Poddy in Paris for the Steelers / Saints game on October 25th? Sounds like a biggg ole yes to us. Lots of updates in the football world this week with the Bos and Aaron Rodgers extending their contracts and the schedule announcements coming out. Somehow, Britt is more excited for local Greek food festivals than the idea of Paris and Maria is a nervous wreck about a recent rat report. Above all els...

This episode, without a doubt, will show you absolutely how unhinged we become when talking about our favorite Pittsburgh law firms. You know who we're talking about (I'm looking at you, Edgar). We had a week filled with lots and lots of visits to local shops and restaurants, PLUS we're pumped for a PGH summer complete with a trip to the William Penn Tavern apparently, Shore Thing & Market Squ...

It was marathon week in Pittsburgh but this week felt like a sprint. Congrats to PGH's own Will Loevner who won the men's marathon and especially for all the runners who accepted jello shots whilst running up and down city streets and bridges. You're all wild. But not as wild as some of the stories we heard after posing the question: "what's a bathroom in Pittsburgh you won't use unless it's an ab...

We miss you already, NFL Draft! Us and 800,000 of our closest friends have a good ol' time going dahntahn for the biggest weekend this city's seen. The only thing missing was Maria's Mt Lebo idol, Daya. We got our butts kicked at Mind, Body, Yoga + Barre but definitely made it up to ourselves with a nice little spring trip to Sarris. Potentially the best part of the week (besides the draft itself)...

It's a hockey AND football week in Pittsburgh! And we're pumped for (mostly) all of it. We're talking about all the NFL Draft events we think will be the most fun. Maria's talking about Steve Aoki and Britt isn't because she is just learning who he is. We're talking Friday night Pirates with the Zambelli fireworks show. We're talking Live! Casino Pittsburgh? And you better believe we're talking ab...

Welcome back, yinzers. Introducing: the weeky-reeky, AKA our weekend recap, which was a mix of candle-making and downtown tomfoolery, walking the Waterfront, having a few bevvys at Grist House Command and thinking way too much about Mayor Corey O'Connor doing cannonballs. Your average yinzer girl weekend, if you will. Also in this episode we share way too many thoughts on the Michelin Guide rankin...

The most aptly named of all, this is episode number two. Ha. Maria can't stop thinking about Pittsburgh icon Mr. Pittsburgh, Britt is obsessed with Laurel Caverns being PA's first underground state park and we're both trying to see the new and improved fountain at Point State Park immediately. Heinz is dropping new ketchup flavors like it's hot and Primanti's is dropping locations left and right o...
