HOUR 1 - Brandon Short, Mary Ours, Donation & Sports Court

Former McKeesport, Penn State and NFL LB Brandon Short joined the show. Brandon endured a personal tragedy that resulted in the death of his daughter and her unborn child 5 years ago. With that, he setup the Karli Short Better Tomorrow Foundation. He told Chris about what the foundation means to him and his family, and the rest of the community. Growing up in McKeesport, Brandon talked about his own experience with government funding and getting helped with meals, and how he may not have ended up reaching the career heights without that. Chris asked Brandon about the renovations being done at Beaver Stadium. Brandon reflected on the career of Mike Tomlin and the transition to Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh. KDKA Meteorologist Mary Ours joined the show. The conversation started with Mary’s singing ability and performing at events over the years. The guys told Mary about Donny’s wedding over the weekend in Johnstown, but what is there to do there? Mary shared her ideal weather on any given day. Back to music – the guys challenged Mary to sing a few songs acapella-style on the spot. Randy Ford from Exubria Home Healthcare joined the show. Randy said he’s an avid Fan listener and loves what we do for the Feed the Need radiothon. Randy made a $500 donation, which counts at 1500 meals to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Foodbank. Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. A one-on-one today with Chris and Nick from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Another game of ‘Defend or Prosecute’ with some questions pertaining to Pittsburgh sports. What is Nick’s prediction for the Buccos in 2026? Nick asked why the morning show got sent down to Bradenton instead of us. With today being the day it is, Nick talked about the importance of giving back to the community and the work he has also done with the foodbank.
