The Upgruv Podcast

The upgruv podcast crew returns to talkin'. This time, discussions center around the late Mary Tyler Moore, craft beer prospects for 2017, the uselessness of Valentine's Day, how good (or bad) is hummus and bananas, underwear parties in Rob's basement and — most importantly — putting eggs in your vagina. Yep, good times.

Spoiler alert! Jill gets engaged (finally!), Chris shares his insane proposal story and Rob prefers not to wear pants. In between, there's an explosive discussion about how important words are, Iran's porn ban, Pittsburgh driving in rain and snow, writing on whiteboards with Sharpies, and how NBC's "This Is Us" is freshening up Pittsburgh's image. Not to mention that Rob tells of his airplane encounter with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Upgruv.com is all about the funnest trending news. We like our jobs. So, we figured we would do a podcast. Why not? We talk about proposals, the presidential debate, Liberty Bridge on fire, Pittsburgh traffic, slamming ketchup on hot dogs, colonizing Mars, and a three-way baby. Yeah, that's what we thought.

We tried. Really we did. But we couldn't help ourselves. There was a recording device, and we just had to use it. Listen at your own risk. We talk about the States' favorite candies, alcohol (our favorite subject), creepy clowns (mask or not?), Rock and Roll Hall of Fame slights, a Pittsburgh fashion event, and smokin' apes.

We're back with more blabber about the strange and unusual topics covered at upgruv.com. This week, we tackle election movies, the pistol-packin' Pirate Parrot, shopping for milk, and peeing on history. Rob, Jill and Chris waste about 40 of your life's precious minutes. You'll never get them back.

Two words: Snail porn. And really, shouldn't that be enough? In case it's not: We also tackle People's Sexiest Man Alive, Pittsburgh's late-night Wi-Fi spots, Russian hackers and Rob Rossi's horrible story about a bathroom incident at the old Civic Arena. It's definitely NSFW.

Hell, you think your sweater is ugly? We got no sympathies. Yep, it's podcast time again. And this time out we also touch on Holocaust ice skaters, overly aggressive Christmas carols and the holiday merriment of drunks giving toys to children. Strap in for the latest upgruv podcast.

Podcast time again, kids. This sixth episode has the upgruv team dissecting the intelligence of jumping into freezing water, how "Rouge One" fits into our lives, Pittsburgh drivers, and 2017 celebrity death predictions. But mostly, they help Jill deal with poor choices made at McDonald's at 3:30 a.m.
