Episode Details

The cold weather continues to wreak havoc across our city. A feud over a Brighton Heights parking spot went viral, vehicles froze to the street in Highland Park, and one intrepid East Ender reserved their parking space with a Pittsburgh potty. Host Megan Harris, producer Sophia Lo, and contributor Colin Williams are joined by parking chair skeptic Bruce Chan to debate proper parking chair etiquette in our inaugural "Am I the Jagoff?" segment. Plus, the team shares their opinions on Heinz's ketchup keg, a new Pittsburghese hotline, and Lady Gaga's cover of "Won't You Be My Neighbor."
