Get ready for one fun episode...
Tressa has the delight of sitting down for a chat - and a lot of laughter - with Pittsburgh legends Larry Richert and Jim Krenn. They talk community, role models, doing good, yinzers, movies, Bruno Sammartino and more...
Larry and Jim, along with Dan Marino (yes, that Dan Marino), Doug Mariani, and Dick Roberts, are the owners of a new food truck in the 'burgh: Yinzer Dogs. But they're not just serving up hot dogs--they've got some amazing sammiches, bit-sized pierogies, and more...AND a portion of all of their proceeds go to local charities.
Larry Richert is the "The Voice of Pittsburgh". He has hosted the KDKA Radio Morning News since 2001, is the voice of NFL Films/Steelers Highlights, the Public Address announcer at Acrisure Stadium for the Steelers, and he's part of the Pitt Panthers Football network broadcast team. Larry has long been an ambassador for the city of Pittsburgh and was winner of the Vector’s Richard Caliguiri Award for that reason.
Jimmy Krenn rose from the ranks of stand-up comedians to become Pittsburgh’s premier comedian and broadcast personality, known for his 24-year run as host of the city’s top-rated morning show on 102.5 WDVE FM and for hosting his very own morning radio show on Q92.9FM.
He has been voted the Top Entertainer in the City by Pittsburgh Magazine 14 times and was nominated by BILLBOARD Magazine as one of the Major Market Personalities of the Year. He makes frequent television appearances, does several standing-room-only concert performances yearly and has performed with the likes of Jay Leno, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller, and Jerry Seinfeld.
