This Week at the Dive Bar*
* "Dive Bar" is like "Air Force One". If The Prince of Pittsburgh is there, it's the Dive Bar.
Feel Good Song of the Day.
The Prince of Pittsburgh had a great time at the Larry Bruno Foundation's Hall of Achievement and History Center. It "... recognizes the achievements of Beaver Falls community members and provides scholarships and offerings to students from ... surrounding communities for their academic and athletic accomplishments."
Coach Bruno's legacy is honored for inspiring the values of reverence, integrity, leadership, teamwork, motivation, discipline and communication. He is the only high school coach to introduce one of his players - Joe Namath - into the NFL Hall of Fame.
The Prince has enjoyed a life-long friendship with Coach Bruno's family, especially his daughter, Val Bruno Wright, shown here with The Prince and his Princess Bride. We are all grateful for her support of our podcast. She strengthens us with the "Magical Coach's" principles. His light shines in her. Thanks, Val.
Superfan Jim L. from Pickerington, OH ROCKS his new PGH Dive Bar Talk shirt. It has never looked better! Jim and Tiny were pals back in their school days. After losing touch for decades, their paths crossed three months ago and they were able to pick up right where they left off.
Jim's whole family - including his Mother-in-law - watch the podcast together every week. Don't cha just love it when fate takes a hand and delivers a bonus gift when you least expect it? Tiny got an old friend, Jim got a t-shirt.
Now that new brother, Franco, is on the scene, Forbes realizes that he's not the baby anymore. Time to start earning his keep!

Ollie T.
is officially inducted into the
Living Legends of Pgh Dive Bar Talk
Loyal friend, unsung hero and integral part of the Podcast, working in the background without the recognition he so richly deserves, Ollie is long overdue for this life-enhancing honor.
We always get a kick out of his resonses to our 'Would You Rather', 'Hell's Half Acre', and 'Samurai Chatter' segments. In fact, he created the perfect depiction of the Spirit of Samurai Chatter - the graphic that introduces that segment in every episode. Many more of his original logos are on display at his comic book shop, Dawson's Geek Comics, in Hermitage, PA.
On top of all of this, he's an all-around great guy. As a huge supporter of the Girl Scouts, he even staged a Cookie-Comic event at his shop. Thanks, Ollie! We're lucky to have you. And we can tell by the delighted look on your face how much this recognition means to you!
Dear Tiny...
With 57 years of marriage - and ZERO divorces - between them, Tiny and the Prince of Pittsburgh have seen and done it all! Now - for the first time - they are willing to share the secrets of their success in dating, love, marriage and living happily ever after. What puzzles you? They can show you the path to true happiness! Nothing is out of bounds. Have you ever wondered how to...? Go ahead and ask - they have the answers! Your real name will be kept private, and the best questions will be answered on the podcast. If you want to drop the fellas a note, feel free to leave it here.
In his never-ending desire to serve you, his loyal subjects, the Prince of Pittsburgh has mounted a quest for the holy grail of dive bar sustenance - the perfect pizza. Henceforth, The Prince will eat as much pizza required to make a comprehensive evaluation of the pies offered by bars, restaurants, and parlors in the four-state area of his domain. Six attributes will be evaluated on a 1-10 scale for a possible perfect score of 60.

One of my favorite places for many years. A bit greasy for some, but that's what makes it taste so good. Great place to go before a Penguin game.
