Pittsburgh has a language all it’s own. Can a visitor figure out what the locals are saying? Jersey Joe and Joel play the game of Know Your Pittsburghese ‘n at!
THE 411
Name: Pittsburghese
What: local dialect spoken in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
It’s a very unique accent that I’ve only really found in that area. If you cross to Eastern PA and Philadelphia, they have a completely different accent and dialect.
It’s fascinating how various parts of our country have accents all of their own. Maybe I should try this game in a southern state or two!!!

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
I love roller coasters! They are always a good time at the amusement park.
With computers and technology, we are really pushing the limits as to how big designers can push the thrills! As we get more powerful computers — we’ll only get more powerful roller coasters! See you at the theme parks! Oh, I hate those cameras that snap pictures of the riders… not doing that upsell! LOL

Alexa, the Amazon Echo computer speaker that acts as your personal assistant, joins Jersey Joe found a round of funny jokes. She can do more that just search Wikipedia, play music, and order Amazon products!
THE 411
Name: Alexa
What: Amazon Echo interactive home device
Purpose: personal assistant
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
This is a really cool product and we’ve only just scratched the surface of what she can do. It’s just like the computer on the USS Enterprise from Star Trek! While she was primarily designed to help order Amazon products as your personal assistant, she can also play music, do Wikipedia searches, read the news & weather, and even put appointments on your calendar. By adding more apps, Alexa can gain all kinds of skills from playing games to telling jokes. It truly is amazing what technology can do — and I think we’ve just scratched the surface of what this product can do.
Google is working on their own competitive version for this fall. It should be interesting to see what they come up with.
