16 - Going Topless at Kennywood

5/23/2017
Sometimes, you have to let the girls hang out. Whether you want to or not — and that's all to do with the dangers of wearing a romper to Kennywood. But that just scratches the surface of the insanity Rob, Chris and Jill get into in the latest upgruv podcast. The other fun stuff: Construction in Pittsburgh — and the test we all need to keep our roads safe. First dates at the movies — and why you should just not do it. Suing that first date if she turns out to be a rabid texter. The dangers of...

15 - Two Cheeks and a Crack

5/8/2017
No better words have been spoken to make for a great episode title: "Two Cheeks and a Crack." And, yeah, it means what you think it means. See, we were talkin' about the @CheekyExploits account on Instagram. And Jill just didn't think it was a good idea. And there was plenty else to talk about: It's mittens weather; the man-purse; Rob bought a bike. Too bad he forgot he didn't know he didn't know how to ride one; Beers. Lots of beer. Lots; WTF is up with portions?; Does everything have to...

14 - Whore Baths and Phil Kessel Dreams

4/24/2017
Damn, we have some weird AF dreams. Jill's obviously been thinking about Phil Kessel again. Then again, maybe it's her brown water. Any way you look at it, it's pretty messed up. And that's just the start of what we're talkin' about this week: Whore baths; the cost of Wendy Bell's thanks; drinking on the job; Gilligan's Island: Ginger or Mary Ann; "Jan was a bitch" on "Brady Bunch"; fun killing people on the Oregon Trail; wtf happened to our old-school NES?; freaky dreams about Phil Kessel;...

13 - Baker's Porn and Chimp Poo

4/7/2017
First of all, we're just sick of this giraffe cam — it's fake news. But more importantly, we riff on Russian dogs, our Internet search histories, baker's porn (you read that correctly), Rocky III vs. Rocky IV (which is better), ordering our toilet paper from Amazon, how to properly eat Chex mix, why people hate white chocolate, how Michael Keaton throws shade, picturing Rob naked (except for socks), how Jill's never been naked outside and chimp poo. It's a packed house, kids.

12 - Sh*tting on Elmo and Bill Cosby

3/24/2017
Look, we don't like Elmo. OK, Rob and Chris don't like Elmo; Jill kinda has a soft spot for the little red dude. But he took out Grover, and we don't like it. What else? Well, we bang on "The Gong Show," we spend time on awkward and uncomfortable children's books, talk about friendly Canadians, debate Monopoly board flippers, discuss NFL players going to proms, going on blind dates set up by a nun, reflect on disturbing photos of us in high school, talk about Pittsburgh's link in the Bill...

11 - Chicken McNugget in the Toilet

3/10/2017
This time out, we start off by sharing some Lenten secrets — like how you can keep your promise to give stuff up. Things turn a bit less religious when we talk about St. Patrick's Day drinks that can help you handle the holiday. Things get creepy when we touch on Garfield's true sex. That turns into some disturbing talk about Snoopy, Tweety Bird and the Road Runner. We also tackle all-pink Starburst and other great ideas we have for our favorite snacks — from Mega Stuff Oreos to Chex Mix,...

10 – A Bloody Cat and Other Sick Stuff

2/24/2017
When you start out talking about a cat's bloody vulva, you know you're in for trouble. You'd think we would have learned better by now, but ... we're slow learners. We're happy as hell that Jill's cat is OK, and even happier that we're not the ones who have to put cream on the animal's lady parts. From there, it's just more moving through the wormhole: "The Birdcage," Disney's animated movies, Pittsburgh's place on the big and small screens, the weird thing about "The Naked Gun" movies,...

9 - Make Medical Marijuana Great Again

2/10/2017
Nothing kills our buzz like tainted medical marijuana. And we just can't have that. In the latest podcast, the upgruv team takes on the poison in the well. What else? Well, the Super Bowl was fun (unless you were a Falcons fan), but it's really the commercials that a lot of folks tune in for. This year, not only were the pickins slim, they gave it all away too soon. The upgruv team also gets to talking about that and plenty of other stuff, including: Selfies at funeral homes, winter drinks...
