This Podcast Is... Uncalled For - Pittsburgh Influence

Episode Date: October 20, 2025

When you talk about how your father's side of the family is from Pittsburgh and you demonstrate it by helping with the pronunciation of Allegheny. From our episode with Richie Wolfe

Is your family all from Texas? My mother's friend. My mother was, I saw a relative is in Baton Rouge on that side. My dad's side's from Pittsburgh. Okay. East Coast. Yeah. You got the East Coast accent.

You have a little bit of a. That's what people keep telling me. In fact, someone told me that's just the other day at Comic-Con. And I noticed from there, I was doing the board game check-in and checkouts for people to play board games. And part of the process was we had to take everyone's IDs. And one had a Pennsylvania ID. And I've never heard this town. Yeah, just out there at Pittsburgh.

Oh, yeah, my dad's from Pittsburgh's. Wow. That's cool. I'm actually going to Pittsburgh at the end of April. that's my bike ride this year there's a trail that goes from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., called the Great Allegheny Passage.

The Great Allegheny Passage, Peres? Allegheny, yeah, there you go. Yeah, I'd never heard of it until one of my co-workers told me about it, so we're going to go take seven days on the trail. Cool, cool. Here in about a month. Cool, so, yeah, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania is

where you'll find Pittsburgh. The Allegheny is one of the three rivers. Okay. This always bugs the heck out of me, because we all know the two rivers, the Alleghen, the Mungahela, one, the Ohio. And it's easy to tell which one's the Ohio,

because there's a place in Pittsburgh called the point, that points in the direction of the Ohio, where the two rivers mean. I never could for a lot of me figure which one's the Allegheny, which one's the Monongahe. Gila. I think it's the northern one, is the Allegheny, and the southern one's the Monongah Gila. It's so hard to say.

Tongue twisters with all those old. I'm assuming it's like native titles, right? Yeah, those are like native or, yeah, words of the Native American origin. I think certainly Mananga Gila, I think, would be, I think. I think, and we're, like, we're living in a part of the country we have alaitha yeah we have black bob yeah we have uh yeah lenoxa shawnee uh punganaxie osolonomy that's what that's our that's our daily listen to this and much more on this podcast is uncalled for available now wherever you podcast Thank you.
