Ya Jagoff!!! | Episode 23 - Kennywood's Open (With a New Whale)

Summary

Nick Paradise and the gang invited us out to the grand re-opening of the Noah’s Ark attraction… new whale mouth and everything! We had a chance to go through the new exhibit, Potato Patch Fries, and interview a bunch of interesting Pittsburghers as they boarded the new ark 2-by2 Pittsburgh style!!! Two artists, two Primanti Sandwiches, two ballet dancers, and well you get it, Dontcha? See the list of notables in the show notes! Everyone’s telling favorite Kennywood stories and “Kennywood Outfit” stories!
