So the first 12 minutes or so of this Detroit live show you're about to hear are rough listening. First off, because it sucks, but also because there was an issue with the audio recording at the venue and my microphone was not recorded. Then when our guest Marissa Pinson joins, her microphone too is not recorded
Starting point is 00:01:42 at first. Emma worked her magic as much as she could, but it's still pretty gnarly in the early going. Anyway, we'll put the timestamps in the episode description of when everything gets back to normal audio wise, which is shortly after Marissa joins, but just be advised, it's bad. Worse than usual. All right, enjoy the show. Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan. Variants of this idiom have been uttered for thousands of years, but President John F. Kennedy put it most famously after the disastrous U.S. funded failed Cuban invasion known as the Bay of Pigs. The phrase certainly is true when it comes to beloved regional dishes. Witness the ongoing
Starting point is 00:02:45 disputes over who rightfully invented Philadelphia's cheese steak or San Francisco's mission-style burrito or Los Angeles's French dip sandwich or the fucked up thing that Chicagoans call a hot dog. But there's one exception that proves the rule. One dish where a mountain of evidence rightfully points toward a soul creator, Detroit-style pizza, universally attributed to Gus Guerra in 1946. Searching for a new signature dish to serve to patrons at his speakeasy turn to eatery, Guerra found inspiration in the right angled pies of his ancestral Sicily and appropriated a blue steel pan used in auto parts sanitation to execute his vision. This new type of pizza featuring a striking square form factor,
Starting point is 00:03:28 lighter dough than Chicago's version, and a generous mound of brick cheese from nearby Wisconsin soon outsold the hot sandwiches offered by the restaurant then called the rendezvous, and the entire concept was rebranded as a pizzeria. While Guerra sold the original and opened a new pizza restaurant called Cloverleaf, the pie brand he created has endured for over 75 years and now has around 20 locations in Michigan. And as shown by recent failed attempts by national chains like Pizza Hut to proffer their own Detroit-style pies, there's nothing quite like the original. This week on Doughboys, we say hey buddies, Detroit-style pizza. What's up, everyone? Welcome to Doughboys. How you doing?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you for being so patient through a wait-or-return. And folks, this week's roast is courtesy of Gary. Let me introduce my co-host, Kebab Seeker in the Silver Gullet Band. Let's throw that back into it. Too tired. Really too tired. I meant from dancing. Detroit Doughboys show. That was my take on the Detroit basketball thing they say at the games. Very good. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:05:41 I was hard to dance the awesome parts because I couldn't really hear it. Yeah, we can't quite hear things on stage, I don't know much what you mean. That's good. I don't want to hear us. Yeah, I don't want to hear us at all. No, actually, don't change anything. Don't listen to him. Oh dude, do I look good to you? You look good. Tea.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And clothes shorts. Looks like a minion. Banana. Do you like it? Sure. Thank you. Which we should address. You play in the Austin Power steam. You did your little dance. That officially doesn't match this. Your turn to join us is a silly show. Oh no. That's the luck of the draw. They got a silly show.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Silly show, like we said, doesn't guarantee you good. Not at all. I mean, like a big part of my prep was wearing the minions outfit. Why? It's how you do it. I'm hanging in there. I think we're doing well. Here's my question for you. How does it feel to be tonguey? You can feel it with the roughly since we landed in Milwaukee. And certainly the only things to eat in this entire region of the United States are dairy and then bread.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Yes. And Fango. Wow, I hope ICP is here. I was hurting wives. As you know, I was hurting when we flew. My stuff was hurting when we flew in. When we flew in from Phoenix to Milwaukee. And it was kind of inconsiderate of me. I told you that I was praying for the plane to go down. I was inconsiderate to you and Marissa. But I...
Starting point is 00:07:41 Yeah, them too, I guess. But I was really hurting. But I'm better now. Hey, a day in Michigan. That's what cures what LGL wives. We drove half day of driving across Michigan. We drove from Milwaukee straight to buddies. Straight here. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Weigur showered here. There were guys in the hazmat suits spraying it down. I was really concerned about pulling a Charlie Rose on someone. I was like, Jesus Christ, give us his doors double locked. B.E. Wong was scraping up your DNA from the floor of the shower. You can have a Weigur Park. Yeah. It was a long day, but we're ready to do this once.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I feel like we're ready to get in there. I feel like you've been a trooper. Yeah, I think so too. Milwaukee was nice. We went to cops. We did go to cops. We did go to cops, okay. I know, you said we did it.
Starting point is 00:08:53 So I got scared. There was four people in cops hats, and there was one lady in the middle. There was two on each side, and one lady with her arms folded. The entire show. We should make it clear who says cops hat is referring to the chain, cops, frozen custard.
Starting point is 00:09:09 They know it? They're Midwesterners. I don't know how prevalent it is. We pointed her up and we're like, that lady doesn't like the show. We ran into them afterwards, and I got verbal confirmation she did not like the show.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And then the other guys went, we loved it. And the old guys weren't the cops hat. I was like, I'll be back later, and I never went back. God bless our patient, Bill Boy's SO is being here as plus ones, not really knowing what they're in for. It's certainly not going to take a good time.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I'm so sorry, but... Honestly, it's on your partners. Don't come! Don't make them come! Don't make your partners come to this shit! It's a food podcast? You're usually not making your partner come here. Don't make them come here.
Starting point is 00:10:03 All the partners are cheering. It's like Sally, Jesse, Raphael. I wanted to talk to you about something that happened to me. There is this... There are the latest episode of Better Call Saul. Yes. There is a vulture write-up, and they were like,
Starting point is 00:10:23 Mitchell was fantastic in the latest episode of Better Call Saul. Michael Mitchell was a little blur with the bottom. He was like, he didn't get to do too much, but he has the range to do more. Sad to see you've been wasted here. Here's the issue. It was Buzz from Home Alone
Starting point is 00:10:41 and Better Call Saul. I was not in the show. So they wrote up this big thing about how I did a great job and referred to other stuff I was in. And it was fucking Buzz. That was what was so confusing, because they clearly were a fan of yours.
Starting point is 00:11:01 They listed your other friends. Yes, that's heard more. It heard enough as is. And then the fact that they were like, we like him and we still think he's Buzz. It was bad. If you both weren't white, that writer's career would be over. We are very white, both of us.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I know I'm a big, bearded, chubby man, but I don't think I look like... I don't think you look like Buzz at all. I think I look like Kevin. You look like Kevin, the hero of Home Alone? Yeah! Have you seen Macaulay Culkin lately? He's not aged into you.
Starting point is 00:11:47 What's he aged into? What's like aged into you? It's a role for him. I look like Joe Pesci. Give me somebody. You could be Pesci. Thank God. Give me anyone else. Anyways, I think it's time to hit this crowd with a little draw.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Oh, boy. Hit it, Emma. Don't be a pig. Let's kick it. Ice. Ice, baby. Ice. Ice, baby.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Ice. Why did I say ice? Why did you say ice? Why did I say ice? I don't know why I said ice. I'm going to say I... Oh, I stop. Well... Short.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Short? It's from a good dropper. Hi, everyone. Here's a silly drop using clips from the silly Boston show Keep Up the Great Work. Yours truly, Chris Finke. Did you know... Thank you, Finke. Did you know we were going to get a drop
Starting point is 00:12:55 from the silly show for this silly show? Was that part of your delay? Wait, he said... No, I didn't know. You didn't know? It was my sheer coincidence. Wow! The silly special. It's a silly special. Well, I love it. You know who else is great, Nick?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Should I not introduce our guest? You got some other shit planned? What's on your little keyboard there? You don't act like you care. I feel like you care what's on my show outline. The end show. He puts end show in the outline. Life is in strike through
Starting point is 00:13:31 and show is bolded. Jesus. We have a fantastic guest with us today. Are you folks ready for our guest? This is how she asked to be credited. A writer and comedian from the Doe Boys episodes Little Caesars 2
Starting point is 00:13:53 and Rockhard Seltzer give it up for Marissa Pinson. Yeah! She brought Fago. Wow, holding Fago aloft. We did a drank or stank of Fago on the road today. At a gas station with a screaming child.
Starting point is 00:14:15 At a gas station with a screaming child that you saw got spanked. I saw the child get spanked in the bathroom stall and I contemplated calling 911. I thought that's going to make us even later for the show. We're already on a pretty tight schedule. I'll just let them work it out. Weigur was waiting in line to spank the child.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I had to tell him like, that's not the deal dude, we got to go. So we got a full cane sugar Fago. We're going to drink at the top of the show. Look at that. I didn't know that there was a difference upon checking the label. I think it's a whopping 72 grams of sugar
Starting point is 00:14:49 in the gas station bottle of Fago. But it's a high fructose corn syrup. So do you guys have a preference for the original red pop versus the corn syrup? Is this one good? Don't say a different flavor. Rock and write.
Starting point is 00:15:05 We don't have it. Guys, we're trying. Who's your favorite dough boy? Not Marin. I mentioned this to Emma, but I'm having so much fun on the tour with these guys. Mitch mentioned earlier that he had a rumbly tummy on the airplane.
Starting point is 00:15:23 You can open that while I tell my story. I am a dough boy's guest, but I'm also a dough boy's fan. It says it is on the cap. I always listen to dough boys when I'm flying because it eases my anxiety. And so, like, when the plane is taking off, I always put in the dough boys podcast
Starting point is 00:15:41 when I'm flying to calm me down. And this time I had a real dough boy with me on the plane. And instead of my anxiety being eased, Mitch is texting me, I'm going to barf. It was a lot like that movie, Red Eye. I said this last night
Starting point is 00:16:01 that it was brown eye, but I wasn't going to say that tonight. The villain wasn't silly in Murphy. It was my tummy with the villain in this one. You know what's pronounced Killian? Killian, Murphy. That's too scary. Yeah, that is too scary. I agree.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Tone it down, Killian. Yikes. He didn't barf though on the airplane. I did not barf. I've been barf free the entire trip. Wow. Applause for not barfing. How low is the bar? What's everyone's barf streak right now? I don't think I've barfed in 2022.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I haven't barfed in years. I haven't barfed in years. And actually prior to that, because I was pregnant, as everyone knows, I like to get dumped in. But... Thank you. Some people like that. It's humiliating.
Starting point is 00:16:53 It's humiliating. But prior to that, I had like a 25-year barf streak. Unbelievable. 25-year barf streak. Yeah, that's really impressive. Congratulations. I feel like some people
Starting point is 00:17:09 will not make it through the show without barf. That's very possible. We did do tequila shots before. We did. We did some tequila shots. We're trying to keep the energy up here. We're having fun. We're having so much fun. It's been a blast.
Starting point is 00:17:25 We drove six hours straight to buddies. Already. Best day of our lives. We had time to shower, just slip into this menu and outfit. What else did you do in your room besides put on the menu and outfit? Because I think you had time to shower. We had 30 minutes in the hotel room.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Tested out the toilet for a moment. Past the test. 80% of the trip is conversation about if Mitch has diarrhea or he's constipated. It's like oscillated back and forth. Right now it's number two. It's two. Option two.
Starting point is 00:17:57 It's number two, baby. I don't know. The first couple days it was not. I don't know what was going on. Give me... Can't stop going over Can't go any day. I'd rather have the diarrhea than the constipation.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Every day of the fucking week. Is that how we're starting the show off? What? That's easily my preference. Easily my preference. I can't stand being stopped up. I get so grumpy. I feel so uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So you're on the toilet just everything coming out with a big smile on your face? No, I don't love it. But I'm saying of those two bad options, one is less bad to me. I'd rather just be going with too much frequency. When was the last time you had a job where you couldn't leave a spot?
Starting point is 00:18:45 Great question. Because that really does affect it. If you were working as a grocer or something, you can't be leaving every 20 minutes with about a little turd. This is maybe it. That's what I was going to say. You count Doe Boyz live.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Which I've got to give you a quarter for is more of a chance you will have to do it. Do you have a higher percentage chance of having diarrhea during a Doe Boyz tour? I've definitely... It's been a little while since I've had a job where I was like, I'm completely stuck here for a while.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I've had jobs where there's like long stretches between breaks, but not like, all the way till lunch. That hasn't happened since I was like, in my early 20s. Here's the thing about Nick. Never went to the bathroom in school. That's true.
Starting point is 00:19:33 He never went once in school. K through 12, never a single Doos at school. Always did it at home. That's insane. Was that your yearbook like special shout out? That's all it said under his name. No Doos? Yes, stay cool and sweet.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Now, I... Photo missing. No, like I just like... I was terrified of being, I don't know, of like being bullied, I guess, if I took a shit at school and also I didn't really have to. Dude, you don't even get...
Starting point is 00:20:05 We got anti-shit gangs in Quincy too, man. You just take a shit in there, dude. Start pushing you around. Wipe it up, buddy. Wipe it up. Wipe it up. Kids are weird in bullies like that. Kids are weird about that. Kids are weird about bathrooms. Mummy was at my school,
Starting point is 00:20:23 so I had a key to a bathroom. Oh, there you go. I'd walk out and like a teacher would be like, what the fuck? Sorry. Anyways, we should get off shit for a moment. Sure. It's not great to open up with 15 minutes worth of shit stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:39 For a food podcast. Yeah. You guys are all y'all. Yeah, you guys are insane. I mean, not only because you're here, which is also a big question. I think Rod Stewart is that little Caesar arena. Rod Stewart.
Starting point is 00:20:55 It was Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton. Who guys could have been at Clapton tonight? People are booing. Clapton's bad now. Wait, is he? Oh, he has bad politics, right? Yeah. He's bad politics, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:11 He's got bad politics. I'll scrap my beers in heaven song parody. I was going to do it later. That's pretty good. Tiger's Game, a lot of options tonight, but you came here to see us, and we appreciate it. Hey, thank you for being here.
Starting point is 00:21:29 It's been a while. It's been a minute, as they say. So my other question of what's wrong with you guys is just that the food in the Midwest is a lot, right? It's a lot. It's unrelenting. And it gets hot. It's hotter here than I expected. It's toasty.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You eat a fucking brick of cheese. It's just too much. It's a lot. No, it's excessive. I don't think this diet would be sustainable for me. But I do, I have enjoyed the food. I wish I had gotten to spend more time in the city before we did this show.
Starting point is 00:22:01 But I am curious, Pinson and Mitchell. Yes. How much time have you spent in Detroit? I've spent in one prior Doe Boys show. And both of those were like in and out affairs. Marissa, have you spent much time here? No, I've never been to Detroit before.
Starting point is 00:22:17 What from what I've seen is a lovely city, but I am a huge fan of Detroit style pizza. The versions of it that have made their way to the West Coast, because I'm a SoCal surfer girl. Hell yeah. I've really enjoyed those. It's my favorite pizza iteration. I've been here quite a few times.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Wow. I've spent some time here like 15, 20 years ago. I was, you would do some rap battles. I worked at an auto plant. Okay. It would be annoying because like my work shifts always got in the way of when I had these rap battles. Sure.
Starting point is 00:22:57 But then sometimes I'd freeze up on stage. It'd be very embarrassing. And then my mom says his name. Who's the guy in it? The guy from Chicago? Who's the guy in it? You mean your life? Who's the guy in your anecdote? What?
Starting point is 00:23:13 The guy in Eight Mile. Who fucks Eminem's mom in Eight Mile? You get no life raps with this. This is all you. Chicago guy. Michael Shannon. There you go. Michael Shannon was fucking my mom.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I said, cut the shit, Shannon. What the hell? Come home from the auto plant. I'm trying to rap that. I'll be railing my mom when I walk in the fucking door. Hey, good for Mrs. Mitchell. Could do a lot worse. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:45 He said, let me fucking take a turn in there. Oh boy. Just pretend I didn't say the last thing. Jesus. Maybe I should see a therapist. Oh my God. I meant that I would fuck Michael Shannon. No, we know what you meant.
Starting point is 00:24:03 We know what you say you meant, but we also know what you really meant. That's the layered laughter. I heard Mitch's mom on speakerphone on our drive over to the theater. She's very sweet. Lovely woman. Michael Shannon's not texting me back.
Starting point is 00:24:19 He did tell her like I was in the car listening, maybe so she didn't say anything. Naughty. Jesus Christ. I don't know. I don't know. Michael, write a rap so Michael Shannon will come back to me.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So you mentioned Detroit Style Pizza, your favorite type of pizza. I'm not far from you on that because honestly of all of the regional pizza variants I've had in these United States, and I've only had the authentic thing a few times including today,
Starting point is 00:24:51 but I love Detroit Style Pizza. I just think it's so well done. I like that there's been something of some national awareness of it. Obviously, as I mentioned in the intro, some of the national chain attempts have been total misfires. In fact, that Pizza Had Detroit Style
Starting point is 00:25:07 was one of the most disappointing chain restaurant items I've had in some time. I don't know if we talked about it on the podcast or we just got it because we're fat pieces of shit, but we both got it. But there are local places in LA that do a version of Detroit Style Pizza that are quite good.
Starting point is 00:25:23 You stole it from you. It's funny because even like a few years ago people would say Detroit Style Pizza and I had no reference point for it. And then it was like suddenly in one year like every fast food place, little pop-up places in LA, everybody wants to try their stab at a Detroit Style Pizza.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah, it's a very popular... I wonder how people feel about if buddies expanded outside of Detroit area, outside of Michigan, would that be upsetting to people? They shouldn't do it. I mean, would you say they can have it? We can have...
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh, wow, we got a buddy skeptic in the audience. Oh, boy. Easy, easy, guys. The palace of the palace that motherfucker. Here's the difference with... if you can throw 100 red cups at Weigher and I and we'll never go out to fight someone. We just... Ben Axel, we talked about this was there.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Our friend Ben Axel Rad, the ax man, was present at the malice of the palace. At the palace. He was there, he was in attendance. He threw the cup at Ron Artes. A wild series of events. So, yeah, I do love
Starting point is 00:26:31 the Detroit Style Pizza. I do think that buddies... I don't want to... We should hold off on getting buddies for one second. But I do think that buddies... I think they should stay a local chain because the other chains that have tried to expand nationally and Mitch,
Starting point is 00:26:47 that includes Duncan, which we hit up on the way. And guess what? We had a fucking fantastic Duncan experience. We had a nice Duncan experience. I think Duncan is maybe back because Duncan had some years in the wilderness. Duncan's maybe back because this random one we stopped at in Indiana had a good bagel. It's a good Duncan.
Starting point is 00:27:03 But also there's a theme with the trip where we all are getting food and Mitch says he's not hungry because his stomach is rumbling and then he eats all of our food. Yes. I've eaten like a bunch of times. So Marissa offered... Mitch and Marissa and I each got bagels. I'm also got a bagel.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Marissa offered Mitch half of her bagel. Mitch took it. We had already ordered and he got a little like folded... I got a snack wrap. I thought I was being good. Everyone orders after me. They get bagels. I'm like, hey man, you can't do that to me. But then instead of you getting a bagel,
Starting point is 00:27:35 you're like, I'm good. I don't need anything. Marissa did need anything. Marissa very nicely offered him half of her bagel and Mitch accepted it. And then Mitch was I and my bagel. So I gave Mitch half of my bagel. So Mitch had a whole bagel that he did not order.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Marissa and I each had a half bagel of what we did order. Oh, Kevin McAtlister is up to his old tricks. Can't believe they thought I was buzzed. You don't look like buzz is the thing. There's a buzz kill. Maybe it's just like you have like big buzz energy. You know?
Starting point is 00:28:17 Like not like B-D-E, B-B-E. B by B-B-E. Yeah, big buzz energy. This means like I'm a slob in like fat guy. Also, there was like comments. This was posted on the reddit. The Doughboys reddit. Never go on there. But it was posted and then someone was like,
Starting point is 00:28:35 Mitch can act circles around that guy and downvote to zero. I think he's a pretty good actor. Don't get me wrong, but what the fuck? It may have been buzz. That's my suspicion. Fucking buzz? Buzz was in there, downvoting it.
Starting point is 00:28:51 That motherfucker. Take it up with him. You gotta beat with buzz. All right, anyways. Marissa, I'm curious. So because you're someone who's a vegetarian, you're a vegetarian for some time. And pizza is one thing,
Starting point is 00:29:09 and I certainly found this in 2021 when No Meat Chili, I didn't have any meat for an entire year, is that pizza was one thing that I could enjoy equally. Like there was no drop off in terms of, oh man, I really miss pepperoni and sauces. I was still liking pizza just as much. But what do you opt for as a vegetarian
Starting point is 00:29:25 with your pizza toppings? I have a very firm unwavering stance that cheese pizza is the best pizza and is not made better by any topping. Wow, I agree with this stance. Not made better by any topping, especially vegetables. Because I ordered a vegetable,
Starting point is 00:29:44 I ordered a veggie pizza today thinking I was being a nice person. And then you were like, veggie pizza like sauce. I was like, I did this for you. I did it for you. I would never get it. I'm cheese pizza all the way.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Cheese pizza all the way, baby. That's perfect. I've also learned don't say I like CP because those initials have a different connotation. But I do like cheese pizza. Is this some Comet bullshit? It's a John Podesta thing. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:30:19 He's one of Hillary's assistants. Not in Home Alone. He's a wet bandit. I like it. I'm not going to even ask what it is. Don't try to divine the acronym. You're not eating me either. You're a chicken man.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I'm not eating red meat right now. I'm trying to stay away from red meat as much as possible. You didn't have a burger yesterday. No red meat all you eat. But still plenty of options available. You bite the head off a live chicken in front of everyone here. I don't know if I do that. I don't know if I'd like...
Starting point is 00:30:58 You wouldn't become a geek? I don't think I'd be a geek. I don't think I'd pull the Aussie thing. If Aussie actually ever did that, or that was just an urban legend, I'm not clear. But I don't think I'd do that. You bit a dove's head off, is that the rumor? I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I don't know if that happened or not. Oh, a bat's head off. Give it a back to Dracula, huh? I don't know. I'll eat a... A piece of poultry versus red meat. Not that it's a massive difference, but... But, I mean, one chicken versus...
Starting point is 00:31:31 I mean, that's like a whole life. That's the thing. That's my calculation. That chicken had like a family and like... We've had these discussions about like... One cow. Yeah, is eating like an order of popcorn shrimp less ethical than eating a burger? Because if I'm eating like 12 shrimps,
Starting point is 00:31:47 those are 12 souls. And if I'm eating one burger, that's like a portion of a soul that can feed 60 people. Yeah. So, what is... It's not like Freddie. They're not going to be in your chest.
Starting point is 00:32:00 You don't collect the souls of the animals you eat. Do you think they feel that way? If you met those animals on the other side, they'd be pissed off, you ate them. Are you having dreams where you like torture shrimp? I don't know. Maybe the shrimp get their revenge. Do you know like how they talk about the silence and space? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:19 They talk about the ethical problems about eating red meat. That's what it sounded like in here. Sounded like the vacuum of space. You know your audience, Nick. Come on. You're in Michigan and you're talking about not eating meat to these people. What the fuck is wrong with you? A lot of water involved in beef production.
Starting point is 00:32:35 But I don't have a problem with it. Like if people want to do that, that's fine. I'm just saying like me personally. And that's my rationale. That said... There's no water involved in growing veggies, you fool. No, there is. But it's like the higher up the food chain you go,
Starting point is 00:32:48 the more water that's involved. These are readily available statistics. It's fine though. It's totally fine. I don't shame anyone for their choices. It doesn't matter to me. I'm saying why I do what I do. That's the whole thing. I think a carrot needs more water than a cow.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I stand by it. Carrot needs more water than a cow. Hey you! Be craving fresh, delicious, easy meals.

Amazing how much like food that completely informs
Starting point is 00:37:01 American culture dates to immediately after the Second World War. And this is one of them. 20 locations across Michigan and its own still family on today by the Jacobs family. So we drove in. That's funny, like in New York City, like a guy was grabbing a girl and smooching her and they were taking a picture.
Starting point is 00:37:17 And here they're like, let's put pizza in a big fucking auto tin. An auto tin? I never listen to your intros. I don't like the podcast. I don't listen to it. Today is no exception. Today is no exception. I was forced to because I was offstage.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Right. But they were just like, let's cook it in a tin. Yeah. We had a hubcap. From the auto shop. Hubcaps were in here like two hours ago. Let's make a pizza instead. It's very strange.
Starting point is 00:37:47 But that's what you guys do. I love it. I kind of love it. It's great. They're very resourceful here, you know. So we drove in six hours from Milwaukee this morning. Uh-huh. And I guess what we were talking about...
Starting point is 00:38:00 We did listen to Eminem when we were... I insisted we turn on Eminem as soon as we entered Detroit. That was fun. I wasn't embarrassed if anyone heard us at all. But we played... What did we play? Lose Yourself. We played to Lose Yourself, by the way.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Of course. Yes. Of course. We got it, you know. Here's the thing. We tried to go to the original buddies. We called our friend, Josh Weiner, who's from Detroit, past Doe Boy's guest. And he's like, you got to go to the original buddies.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And so we tried to. But we called ahead while we were close to Detroit and they said there was a 90 minute wait. And we were honestly suspicious that it was because of you all. Was it your fault? Did Doe Boy's fans go to the original buddies today? You ruined it for us. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:38:49 We didn't get to go. We couldn't go to it, you pieces of shit. Go to the other one. You tried it before. You fuckers. Use a pan from your garage and make a pizza. We tried. We should get credit for trying.
Starting point is 00:39:09 We tried. Yeah. So we ended up going to a location in Livonia, Michigan. Is that a good one? Livonia, shout out. No. Yeah. You're cheering Livonia?
Starting point is 00:39:18 Oh, some people are booing Livonia. Easy guys. Grew up there. All right. All right. One guy is screaming that he grew up there. What? Livonia?
Starting point is 00:39:30 All right. Livonia. Got it. Livonia. We went to the Livonia location. Livonia. Like Lasagna. Livonia.
Starting point is 00:39:38 That's a good way to remember it. Livonia. Uh-oh. Kaylee was our server at the Livonia location. Now he's thinking about Lasagna. Yeah. He's just stuck in a loop. This place was fucking hopping.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yes. Not only was it original. The original, like we said, was an hour and a half wait and we got that information and we were 33 miles outside of Ann Arbor. No, that's not why I said Ann Arbor. We want to hit up Zingermans. We want to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:12 We're going to go. We're going to go. Maybe get a scoop of fucking Superman ice cream. Oh, I thought that would get a bigger fucking pop. But we couldn't do shit. We've barely been here. We just went to the double, uh, I shouldn't say the hotel name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Double U hotel. Doxtos. Jesus Christ. Seven Doughboys listeners in the elevator. Well, we were staying here too. That 2,500 pound capacity is fucking straining. What floor are you on? Oh, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I'm on the same floor. I'll just follow you up. What room are you on? I'll follow you. I'm right near you. That's funny. I'm in the same room too. I'll come in here.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'll come in. I'll come and I'll come and sit in your room. Yeah. A fun thing about the hotel is that if you open the door to the bathroom, they're, uh, facing like sitting on the toilet, there's a full length mirror. There is. You can watch yourself. Shit.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Or jack off. Or jack off. If a Doughboy spends with us, we're jacking off. Maybe you guys requested that. I don't know. It's bedtime. You should probably pull down your pants. Jack off for a few minutes.
Starting point is 00:41:30 All right. Please don't follow us there for real. Um, Kaley was our server and Kaley was fantastic. He was fantastic. Yeah. What are who cares about time? I'm just going to get sucked off by one of these people. We were told and I don't know if this is true or I don't know if this was urban legend.
Starting point is 00:41:53 We were told that someone in the audience lined up because the seats are general admission. Yes. That someone lined up at 7 30 a.m. raised his hand right there. What a hero. See you at the hotel, buddy. It's about time I get sucked off by someone who looks exactly like me. Fucking into this. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I texted Natalie that someone's been in line since 7 30 a.m. And she replied, OMG, be careful of crazies. Thank you for identifying yourself. We've made a profile of you. Security will be. God bless. Logging those records. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Yeah, you rule. Thank you. Sorry also. He's regretting his decision right now. So it was like it was a it was packed. There were a lot of people there. It was popping. Yeah, there were a ton of family pulling up the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Actually, the parking lot was packed and we thought we were going to have to have another like 90 minute wait. That's just how everybody's is at 5 p.m. There's just a 90 minute wait all over the city at four. What time was it? 4 p.m. Was it 4 or 3 p.m. No, it was like 5. We're out there by 6.
Starting point is 00:43:09 It was the dinner hour. It was closer to dinner. It's closer to dinner. But like this is a day. It was packed. The notion of the pizza parlor is like kind of like a bygone era, right? The pizza parlors have all been shut down and turned into kiosks. They're all delivery or takeout focused.
Starting point is 00:43:25 So like when you see a place that's like, hey, this is a parlor. You come here and you sit down and you're served pizza and that there's lots of people taking out obviously. But lots of people there just like dining in as it's like, this is kind of great. I wish there's more of this. I'm used to parlor on my phone as an app, but in real life, you're booing me. They think you're serious. The Redditors think you're serious. Are you mad?
Starting point is 00:43:48 I'm making fun of parlor. I'll see you guys on there. Is there a Little Caesars in the Little Caesars stadium? There's got to be. Is that the exclusive pizza provider? Got to be, yeah. All right, relax. Take it easy.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Is sometimes there's like a Little Caesar mascot running around? No. No, you fucking idiot. Oh, sorry. Got one thing fucking wrong and they turned on me. He's a cute little guy, isn't he? The Little Caesar's mascot? The Little Caesar's mascot.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah, he's super cute. Harris famously tweeted about how he has chest hair, which is funny. He has a few, like three long curly chest hairs. If you took away his robe and put him in like a flannel, he does look like a Doughboy's face. That's fair. Been waiting in mines at 6 a.m. Yeah. Upset we made some factual error regarding a chain we were at for the first time.
Starting point is 00:44:53 We were at a, we went to Lavonia location. Kaylee was our server as I mentioned before. Kaylee did a great job. Kaylee was very smiley. It seemed like she was having a blast work in there. It seemed like she was enjoying serving the patrons. Yes. She was doing, and or she was putting on a great performance, putting on a brave face,
Starting point is 00:45:11 but she was a delightful server. Well, the most disdain-steamed restaurant critics in America were seated at her table, of course. She was great. She was awesome. She guided us through the menu. Oh, we got a recommendation. Are you not going to get into what we got, but we got a recommendation for the ministrone soup. We did.
Starting point is 00:45:29 This was via Josh Weiner. He said we should get the ministrone and then she helped us out with the ministrone. She brought us one bowl and four little cups for dividing. How about that? Four little cups. Four cups. Four spoons. Above and beyond.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Is that the light? Oh, that's AC. Yeah. That's what that is. No audience reactions to loud AC. Yeah. We split up the soup. They saw a soaked in flop sweat.
Starting point is 00:45:55 They're like, cool these guys down. The guy working the AC is like, I'll try to cool them down. I've never seen flopping like this in a long time and I attend piston skates. There was a kid in the restaurant. He looked like he was three and he was sitting just him and his dad. And the kid was screaming like, and then the dad would put a bite of food in his mouth. And then he would just like, and then as soon as the food was gone, he would go over and over again.
Starting point is 00:46:27 It happened like 50 times. After being on tour with Mitch for like over three days, I really relate to that dad. Every few hours. My bagel, my cops, my grilled cheese. I liked how hopping it was in there. Did it make you feel like a kid again to be back there? Yeah. A lot of families.
Starting point is 00:46:58 A lot of families. In fact, on the way out, fuck, I left it in my damn jeans. I dressed in this damn fucking Minions uniform and I left my dumb, dumb in my jeans. Wise, I left my dumb, dumb in my jeans. I'm sorry. Oh, that's really disappointing. I'm sorry, Mitch. I bet if everybody imagines really hard, we can pretend you have a dumb, dumb in your
Starting point is 00:47:23 hand. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yummy. Yum, yum. Yum, yum, yum. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Oh boy. Oh, that's imagining Michael Shannon. That's when I'm in a straight jacket in like 30 years. I'm going to be like, I left my dumb, dumb in my jeans. That's right. Yes, Mr. Mitchell. You work there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I got to have a career pivot after this. This will not last. No. No. It's unsustainable. I thought the Minestrone was quite good. I was like, I would honestly, I was kind of dazzled by that Minestrone. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:03 My expectations were pretty low because I was just like, oh, whatever, soup at a pizza place, but that's a good Minestrone soup. You know what had a box surrounded on the menu, which that's, that leads you to a superstar when you're looking at a menu. If you see a box, man, we were not led astray by that box. No, not at all. That box had a lot of info on it. Minestrone, you know, Italians, I could take or leave, but the Minestrone soup, this was
Starting point is 00:48:27 a thick soup. Very thick. That's our Frank Carlisle would say. High viscosity. It had ass, as Carlisle would say. It's true. It kind of, yeah, it felt like it had some, I don't know if it had a little bit of cream in it or just a lot of cheese, but it kind of almost had like a.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Yeah. The fluid part of the soup was. Jesus. The fluid part. The fluid part. Yeah. Not the chunk, the fluid. The fluid was quite creamy.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I don't know if maybe it was Parmesan mixed in. Could have been that, yeah. Probably my guess, but it was delicious. Yeah. Quality soup. It was really good. I thought he was joking when he suggested it, but it was very, very good. Minestrone soup was good.
Starting point is 00:49:04 And they also, they put, yeah, it has a box that is that, that high. It must be one of their famous things. I don't know. We got a couple of, what happened? What was that? I heard a bat, I believe. Okay. Oh, here's Ozzy.
Starting point is 00:49:17 He's hungry. Look out. We got a couple of fried apps. Okay. It's someone's radio. We got a couple of fried apps. We got the dough boys. They're on stage.
Starting point is 00:49:28 That guy's just keeping his eye on you. We're talking about the CP earlier. The buddy's famous tenders and the veggie sampler were the two fried apps we got. And you know, it's, I thought they were quality tendies. The issue with the, the, and they were, they were decently seasoned, a good ranch. You got it with them. The issue with the veggie samplers, you had the fresh mushrooms, cauliflower and zucchini. And you kind of had like a, a, a baby bear, a papa bear and mama bear situation in terms
Starting point is 00:49:58 of fry to veggie ratio, because the cauliflower was just too bulky and the mushrooms were a little too, a little too tiny. And that zucchini was, was just right. I would agree. It's like a mama bear, baby bear, papa bear situation. Yeah. Yeah. Compared to any nursery rhyme, I guess it would be the three bears.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Three bears. Yeah. I think so. But in all seriousness, that cauliflower was way too large. Way too big. Yeah. It was the size of a pickle ball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:28 It was, it was gigantic. It didn't, it didn't work. But I, yeah, the zucchini was nice. I thought the mushrooms were okay too. The breading was great. Was it the same breading on the chickie? It tasted like the same breading, but I'm not sure. I really liked that breading.
Starting point is 00:50:39 It was good breading, quality breading. Quality breading. Does anyone care about these apps or are you like, we don't. Oh, you do. Okay. Hard to say. I can't tell. I can't tell what the deal is.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Wine is a weird man. And he also, he also, he also was like demanding. We went, we were like, we're like tough. It's, we're tight on time. We're like, do we have to go to the original? And he's like, yeah, yeah, you do. And we're like, we don't think we're going to make it. He's like, you got to go to it.
Starting point is 00:51:03 And so we were like, we can't fucking go to it. We can't go to the original. But is it a thing like pizzeria or gene? Well, you don't know this, but is it like a thing? Like, is the original much better than the other locations? Oh, fuck. We fucked up. It's a chain restaurant podcast.
Starting point is 00:51:19 It's your fault. We went to a chain outlet. It's, it's, yeah, it's your fault. It's your fault we couldn't go. Well, I guess we have to go back tomorrow morning. I don't know. We need more. We got a, we got a Greek salad.
Starting point is 00:51:29 And I thought that was a, you know, a solid salad. It's just a, just romaine, feta, calamot olives. You know, it's in a Greek salad. Why? I think garlic parmesan dressing. Undressed. A little underdressed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:41 A little underdressed. A little underdressed. Yeah. It was a little underdressed. A little underdressed. Some more dressing. The, the salad. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:51:49 What was it? I don't know. It was, it was underdressed. That's okay for the ladies. Yeah. Not for my salad. That's how, that's how Mitch likes his. Went ladies.
Starting point is 00:51:57 But not my salad. Not his salad. Yes. And the waitress was like, please leave. A little underdressed. A little too underdressed. I could have used some more dressing, but I do think. I prefer a soggy salad, though.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I agree. So I am. You enjoy a sauger? I do enjoy a sauger. I think that you have to taste the dressing. The only, Marissa and I licked, we put our finger in the bowl. We did the finger test. And tasted it.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Because we were suspicious if it was dressed. Yeah. And you could, and you could only taste it that way by just putting your finger in the bowl. Yeah. So Mitch and I took turns sliding our filthy fingers off the side, inside of the salad bowl. I saw them throwing it in the dumpster when we left.
Starting point is 00:52:34 And you could tell that it was dressed, but not very happy. Yeah. Everything, the portion was great. Served with tongs. I mean, what, you can't complain. Come on. A medium salad was for three to five people. And we had four of us, including Emma.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And it was, it was more than enough salad. I was like, this is the medium. Also, first greens of the trip. The first greens of the trip happened in Michigan. Very exciting. Congratulations. You have one up on Wisconsin. Wisconsin, we could not find greens at all.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Yeah. Yeah. We asked her something like, you ain't from around here, are you? Also, by the way, when we were leaving Wisconsin, there was a big sign that said, Wisconsin loves President Trump. It was, Mitch, it wasn't one. It was three distinct billboards that all said some version of Wisconsin loves President Trump with a version, with a picture of President Trump.
Starting point is 00:53:26 And I said, where's the Doe Boys loves President Trump? We're crying from out the tour. Come on. It, yeah, I thought, but a quality salad. Again, you'd like the soup. I'm just like, my, my. There's a billboard in 2022 that Wisconsin still loves President Trump. They're open.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He comes back. Like you can put up a billboard. This is like, I love President Ford. Hey, there you go. Michigan. There you go. Mitch, you did it. I did it.
Starting point is 00:53:54 You inadvertently pandered. Wow. Wow. Ford. Like the. I love Ford. President Ford. God bless him.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Let me tell you, those automobiles run like no other. And the thing about President Ford is, yeah, he had a short presidency, but he showed magnanimity after Watergate, which is what the nation need, but more than that. More than anything. Yes. That's right. This is what we should be saying to get reactions from you. Hell, I love Ford.
Starting point is 00:54:23 He's fucking great. I think he's the hottest president. Hot as shit. I bet he had a hog like a hammer. Fucking. They said the muffler test is that Ford could stick his thing in there. And if he could get it in. The muffler was too small, baby.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Said LBJ after seeing Ford's hog changed the nickname for his hog from jumbo to not as big as Ford's. It's a long nickname. It was. It was a little awkward, but, you know, he just felt inferior. My first car, Ford Escort. Wow. My grandma.
Starting point is 00:55:00 My grandma. My grandma. My grandma. My grandma. My grandma. Wow. My grandma's car. It was my sister's car and I got to drive it around.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I was in it the day it died on the road. I had a, I had my first car was a Chevy Blazer. Is that the first thing you've been in the day it died? Jesus Christ. Good God. She asked if that's the first thing I've been in the day it died. What a grisly question. Maybe he was with a woman.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Or someone who was about to die. Oh, okay. Never fuck someone the day they died. Okay. Well, that's a fair question. It was a fair question. You are correct. But you never know.
Starting point is 00:55:44 There could be some make-a-wishes brewing. Oopsie. Ford. This is. Everybody meet us back at the W for some drinks after this bad boy. First rounds on us at the W. That's right. And they do not give you a free cookie.
Starting point is 00:56:08 At the hotel we are staying at. Yes, there might be other hotels that give free cookies. Yes, certainly not ours. That's right. But the hotel we are at does not give you a free cookie. It's the W. That's right. Gerald Ford actually born in Omaha, Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:56:24 What the fuck? Oh my God. What was this shit? He was raised in Grand Rapids but he was born in Omaha. All right. Okay. He gets a pass. We're back on his side.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Let's talk about the pizzas because that's the whole reason this place endures. That's the whole reason this place is beloved. That's the whole reason Detroit style pizza exists because this place was the progenitor of it. The pioneer of it. And the three pies we got. We got the four-piece square pies. And we, that's what we got. Look.
Starting point is 00:57:01 We got plain cheese. We got Eastern Market Veggie and we got spicy Italian. So the plain cheese for people who aren't familiar with it is just the Wisconsin brick cheese and it gets that little dollop of red sauce on there which is a signature of the style. We also got the Eastern Market Veggie which is the brick cheese, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes. Now those tomatoes were like a whole like beef steak tomato and they just gave you a big slice that covered the whole slice of the pizza.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I was kind of like amazed by how much tomato just encompassed the entire surface area of it. Yeah, Nick was freaking out when he saw this tomato. I was freaking out a little bit. And then we also, the spicy Italian which is the Motor City cheese blend, a little different. And Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, red onions, garlic, tomato basil sauce, and Buddy's Sicilian spice blend. Mitch, let's start with the spicy Italian. You're the one who had that.
Starting point is 00:57:53 What did you think of that, that spicy Italian? I liked it quite a bit. Yeah. Emma also gave it a thumbs up. At one point I thought it was my favorite of the bunch. Look, I'm not going to try to pander to this crowd. Uh-huh. I'm not going to try to pander to them.
Starting point is 00:58:05 But our whole order was kind of like that Piston's Bad Boys team likes. That's right. That cheese pizza was like Bill Lambier. Solid as they come. That spicy Italian, well that was Dennis Rodman. There you go. A little bit of spiciness. You don't know which way it's going to go, but mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Carmen Electra approved. The fried cauliflower's were kind of Isaiah Thomas. No one really liked them that much. Bit of an asshole, but we like them still. It was fine. He added to the meal. I would say that veggie pizza was a John Sally. What would you say?
Starting point is 00:59:01 Benny the microwave Johnson, maybe? Yes. One of the all-time nicknames. Instant offense. Denny Ainge gave him that nickname. How about that? I love it. Ainge, man.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Yeah. So the- That was a small boo for liking Ainge. We never drank the Fago. Take a sip. It actually is truly better. Is it better? It is better.
Starting point is 00:59:35 It's better than the can one, I think. It tastes better. Oh, wow. Can I hit that? That's silky. All right. We've been swapping a lot of spit on this trip, I gotta say. Fago original red pop.
Starting point is 00:59:49 This is a character that has naturally and artificially flavored strawberry. 100% cane sugar. Here we go. That's delightful. That's great. That's really, really good. Love the fizz on that. That's really good.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Boy, that goes down smooth. All right, relax. Like you on Michael Shannon. Yeah. The pizzas were fucking great. I thought they were really good. I love this style of pizza. As you mentioned earlier, Marissa, and I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I concurred. I just think those corners are so yummy. I love the- It's all about the corners. Come on. Here's the magic of Detroit style pizza. A lot of times on pizza, the crust is like- Okay, well, I got-
Starting point is 01:00:48 I was a kid, I wouldn't even fucking eat the crust. I'd leave the crust like the crust of bread. Which I eat now, too, these days. But as a kid, I didn't eat the crust of bread, I didn't want to eat the crust of pizzas. Leave the crust. Sounds like you're sheets in middle school. Nah, I wouldn't bust in my own sheets.
Starting point is 01:01:10 My mom was a nurse. She'd know what was up. Where'd you bust? I'd find a spot. Oh, my God. Where? You know. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Chipped the turtle, just floating and fucking- Jesus Christ. Preserved. It doesn't matter with you. So did your mom- She was a nurse and she changed your bed with like the gloves on, basically. Just a frozen sheet.
Starting point is 01:01:44 No, you're something disposable. I learned that at a young age. You hide the evidence. Look, we were talking about pizza. Weigar's mom came to the show last night, by the way. I know. His mom and dad were at the show last night. It's my mom's birthday today, HPD mom.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Happy birthday, Carrie Weigar. Weigar's parents are so normal. It's like, it's eerie. And I haven't met your brother, Nate, but the family aside from Nick is like, it's like bone-chilling how normal they are when you see the son that they made. My brother, Nate, is the alpha Weigar.
Starting point is 01:02:25 So I think what happened is that all of their- I've met rules. He's so much fun. All of their charisma and conviviality and ability to connect with people on a human level got channeled into the first child. What happened to your dad's sperm? Did your mom get pregnant after he was on a jet ski or something?
Starting point is 01:02:42 And it got all scrambled up and jostled? His dad came into a pinball machine. He was like, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man. Something ain't right. It didn't work with a lot of dangerous chemicals. Maybe that's a ball. The-
Starting point is 01:03:03 Every day. Here's the thing. What did we create, George? We have to put an end to it. I fancy myself a normal man. I'm gonna say this. This is my point. The crust in Detroit-style pizza is a highlight.
Starting point is 01:03:25 It's so fucking good. It's oftentimes like the best part. And that's the magic of it. Because instead of it being like the throwaway or sort of being like, okay, here's the little stump of the pizza and maybe I've got some ranch to dip it in to give it some life or whatever. Or maybe it's like stuffed with cheese.
Starting point is 01:03:39 I don't fucking know. Some gimmick to make it edible. It's just like, no, this is an absolute treat. When I get in my final bites of this pizza are gonna be wonderful. I take a bowl of loops all crust. Give me that crust. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:52 That's fantastic. Hold on. I like the crust. You want all crust? Yes. You're on board with that? Here's what we talked about. I wish-
Starting point is 01:04:02 We've had jets as well. We have had jets last time. And we actually did a buddies versus jets on stage last time we were here. I don't know if you remember a man tried to come on stage during the show. Is that man here tonight? Is he here?
Starting point is 01:04:18 He's here. It's you? Oh, all right. It's the 7 a.m. guy. I need prime position to get myself back on stage. This time I'll do it right. We had a guy in the audience last night who was a drunk question asker and he was good.
Starting point is 01:04:37 It's the only time it ever worked out. He was great. Yeah, you'll hear him. He's great. Is the guy who came up on stage not here? Well, he's not gonna announce it, I guess. No, why would he? He might be here.
Starting point is 01:04:50 When we went to- We went to National Coney Island. A fake mustache. I don't see him anywhere in the crowd. This was back in January of 2020. So not long before the shit went down. This was one of our final live shows. January of 2020.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Some of your last outings was a Doe Boys live show. Yes. The In Monkey Pox lockdown, you freaks. Our buddy Carl was with us, of course, and we did our segment the best, just the best. We did our segment where we compared Buddies vs. Jets. Buddies and the Jets.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Buddies and the Jets. Both of you, both you and Carl preferred Jets. I actually preferred Buddies. Although I don't remember Jets specifically, but I did have a fandom for Buddies at that time. Wow. And here revisiting, I was like, this is fucking great. I remember really enjoying this,
Starting point is 01:05:41 and I'm really having a good time having it not in a box that's been sitting for an hour waiting for us to get to our segment after a fork rating, but just served to us hot and fresh. That was fantastic. Detroit Style Pizza really benefits from being a pipe and hot. Yes. Because the oil and that crust,
Starting point is 01:05:57 something happens as it cools down, gets a little bit more hard, a little more solidified, congealed. Piping hot. I mean, you can't compare. I agree with that. The plain cheese was the winner for me. I just think all the veggies on the Eastern Market veggie,
Starting point is 01:06:12 it was just too much. It was just too much going on. I don't need those big tomato slices on there. It was umka pachka. Get it out of there. Wow. Simplify your pie concept, because I was just getting a big bite of tomato
Starting point is 01:06:26 that was kind of coming off and was super wet. But yeah, veggies are so wet when it comes to veggie, because the salad was so good. I think I might be a raw dog. Because all those little bell peppers and tomatoes, I say no need to cook them, toss them in the salad. There you go. Let's have a good time.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Better context. I'm used to things wet. Hashtag raw dog. I'm used to things wet. I've been soaking wet since we've gotten here, whether it was because I had to shit my pants or the humidity. No.
Starting point is 01:06:58 I actually liked that. I liked the vegetarian pizza. It was probably my third favorite of the bunch. The cheese was number one for me, why? I also thought it was good, but the cheese was the winner. Why? It's like ranking the bad boys. I'm looking at this list.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Detroit Pistons, the five baddest boys of the bad boys era. They rank the bad boys? I mean, you know. I'm jostling my ear. Sorry. Probably in terms of importance. Is it in terms of importance to the roster? Because if so, Isaiah Thomas has to be number one.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Or is it in terms of how bad they were? In which case, I think probably it's got to be Rodman or Lambeer. Lambeer was number one. Yeah. Okay. That's like a bad boy sort of thing. Which one of you guys do you think is badder? Who's the baddest doe boy?
Starting point is 01:07:42 You know the answer to this. Hold on. Let me get that thing out of my ear. It's me. What's the baddest thing you've ever done? I don't know. The show? Specifically this one.
Starting point is 01:07:59 What? No peeking. No peeking. That was pretty bad. I never peeked. She said that. And it's weird she said it. She still says it.
Starting point is 01:08:11 I never peeked on anyone. We got a few desserts before we got out of there. The Cream Puff Sunday and the Werner's Float. The Cream Puff Sunday is billed as the legendary dessert. Cream Puff Shell filled with Hudsonville vanilla ice cream was very nice ice cream. Let me tell you this was like Ben Wallace and receipt Wallace. There you go. Sanders Hot Fudge and whipped cream.
Starting point is 01:08:37 It started with Ben Wallace. People like Ben Wallace. Did you play with Clapton tonight? Why do people mad about him? Oh, wait. Yeah, I know he's a hollow failure. People like Ben Wallace. I need to stop talking to the audience.
Starting point is 01:08:48 You wanted a bigger pop for your panda. That's what it is. Yeah, no shit. People weren't on that. People like Ben Wallace. Yeah, they should be cheering it on their feet. I thought the desserts were good. I certainly probably like the Werner's Float more.
Starting point is 01:09:05 I just like that. That concept is just a little cleaner for me. You have been craving a float also. I had been craving a float. I had floats on the brain. And I think part of the other. You said to one of the children they all float down here. You're not at the sore clown.
Starting point is 01:09:22 I... This town is in love with Werner's. I remember when I was... Good Werner's. ...filming the sci-fi smash hit, The Tomorrow War. I've talked Jurassic Park tonight, Tomorrow War Alien, you know. The classics.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Sam Richardson got Werner's delivered to Atlanta. He loved Werner's. It's very good. It's good. Why isn't it ale? Why isn't it ginger ale? It's ginger drink, right? It's good for you.
Starting point is 01:09:58 But it seems like... I don't know if it's the first one or what the deal is. But let me tell you, it made for a great float. That float was... It was a good float. It was fantastic. By the way, I'd encourage you not to ask open-ended questions to the audience. I'm just trying to get them involved.
Starting point is 01:10:16 You can ask them at the hotel later. There you go. Ginger drink. It's a ginger drink. I'd never had a ginger ale float before. I'd never had one. And I'm a float freak. Yes, I've talked about this on the podcast,
Starting point is 01:10:28 which I believe a Boston cooler, which actually originates in Detroit, was something that my mom would give me as a child. When I was sick, I think. I don't know. Or just when I was at wanted one. When you ran out of bubble juice chop chip with milk. And I always thought it was a Boston.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I thought it was from Boston, but it's from Detroit. It's very, very good. You guys love your beverages here. This is Motor City. This is Beverage City. It's Beverage Town. My God. I've had probably now like one and a half Fagos today,
Starting point is 01:11:03 and I feel like I can feel the veins going through my arm to my fingers. I've only had Fago and tequila and coffee, and now I'm just remembering and Coke at the restaurant and no water. Do you guys drink water? No water today. No. This has been a water free day. Boo water.
Starting point is 01:11:21 That's right. I got my refill of a water bottle here. Yeah. It's full, but I'll drink it at some point. I thought the, here's the thing. We had cream puffs from the Wisconsin State Fair yesterday, and I, I hate to tell you, but the cream puffs here just paled in comparison.
Starting point is 01:11:42 So I think that was part of why that dessert underperformed. So was that a buddy? Yes. It's yes. Yeah. But, but I thought that float was nice. And also this is the pizza part. The fudge was very good.
Starting point is 01:11:52 The fudge was great. The fudge and the ice cream was really, was really good. Yeah. Just the cream puff itself. Well, we should get to our final thoughts on Buddy's Pizza. So Marissa, you know how this works. We'll go around. We'll give her a closing argument if you will.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Rate this chain from zero to five forks. Buddy's Pizza, your thoughts, your fork score. Wow. Well, as I've mentioned, you know, I love Detroit style pizza. I don't think vegetables should be on any pie. Considering their finest pizza offering was cheese, which was interestingly off menu. We had to build our own.
Starting point is 01:12:26 I was surprised there wasn't just like a classic straight up cheese on the main, the main menu. Right. That kind of threw me off. I thought, are we going off book here? Are we going astray? We going down a dark and mysterious road. But when we mentioned it to Kayla, she didn't seem scared for us or,
Starting point is 01:12:42 you know, nervous or we just said she's pizza and she not. And she said, she said, okay. Yeah. Okay. And what came was, you know, a fantastic solid, exactly what you wanted Detroit style pizza, the crust, the core. I love the four slice because everybody gets a corner. You don't have to fight over the corners.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Love it. There was a little bit of back and forth that we've made a mistake not getting an eight, six slice. I thought we should have gotten an eight. I didn't know if people would be mad if we didn't get a six slice. Yeah. And no, I think four is the way to go because everyone can get a corner. The appetizers were great.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Minestrone knocked out of the park. For me, four and a half forks. Wow. Very good score. It was great. It was great. Really good. I was desperately Googling bad boys that I hadn't mentioned already.
Starting point is 01:13:37 And I gave up and I thought, I'm not going to pander to this crowd. I'll be real with them. Did you say Joe Dumars yet? Joe Dumars. Buddy's pizza is exactly like Joe Dumars. Look, how do I say this? I got really tired for a second there. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Let me think this out. I'm going to tell Mitch in the car. I said, don't talk about how tired you are. People don't like to hear that at a show. I'm tired though. And we're fucking going to bring it. All right. I'm going to tell you the fucking truth here.
Starting point is 01:14:13 People love deep dish Chicago pizza. I can fuck the fuck off. Wow. Wow. I'm sick of Chicago shit. We're the second city. New York. We're the second city.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Shut the fuck up. It's too deep. It's too deep. It's too deep. Pizza's too deep. Something Mitch's girlfriends have never said. Jeez. Ugh, true.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Look, Chicago gets a lot of credit. That really threw me. Because I was like going through my head like one, two, yep, never happens. I think this minion look is going to work out for me. Chicago gets all the, and they're like, we actually, we got pan pizzas too. And it's like, I don't care. I don't care about pan pizzas. One of the best pizzas around is the Detroit pan style pizza.
Starting point is 01:15:20 They do it better than a lot of people. Look, it's going to get run into the ground. It's already happening. For sure. It's getting overused. But it is one of the best pizzas in the country. And Buddy's the originator of it. And I got to say this about our, we got the cheese pizza, which said you could pick the
Starting point is 01:15:39 sauces and the cheese on the side. Right. And one of the cheeses was a Wisconsin brick. That's right. Which I will be leaving in the toilet at this theater tonight. At the majestic theater. It's a sign of a good meal likes. It's a sign of a great meal.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Yes. No one does it like here. No people are freaky enough to fucking cook a pizza in a fucking pan that was in a car, like an auto lot. Yeah. That's what it takes. These fucking demented fucks made a new pizza and it's great. I wish it was a little bit more sauce.
Starting point is 01:16:16 I wish you could spread the sauce around a little bit. I love it. And I, I, I, I, I, how can I go below four fours? I'll go four. Four fours. Very good score. You know, my guess is, my guess is that Jets would be maybe a five fork or I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Wow. So it falls to me to determine whether Buddy's pizza joins the Hall of the Golden Play Club. Once again, I am in the role of the gatekeeper. Oh boy. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. This is not a role I shrug off. It's nine 18. What should I set my alarm?
Starting point is 01:16:50 Heavy head. Mitch is used to that. It's the silly show. You motherfucker. Hey, you called it, man. You asked for it. You wanted to get silly. Go on wise.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Go on gatekeeper. As the gatekeeper, I, I am going to say this. I really, really enjoyed the food here and that includes the items that weren't pizza. Like it's like, I had, you have no expectations for the other stuff at a pizza place. You hope the wings are at least solid, but you don't, you don't think like there's going to be a good veggie sampler, which there was or good soup or really good salad. How many pizza places have an actual decent salad? How many places?
Starting point is 01:17:37 It's just some fucking, you know, thrown together. Yeah. Whatever we've got, we've got a bag of iceberg lettuce and then whatever veggies we're using to toppings, you know, and there was some Italian dressing. No, this was a well-composed, well-prepared salad. I don't mean to interject, but the place was packed. It was packed. And the vibe was fun.
Starting point is 01:17:54 And the vibe was fun. But here's the thing. And you've, you've both already made this point. Buddies created Detroit style pizza. And this is like an essential part of the pizza ecosystem. This is a, this is, this is one of the, the, the best versions of pizza. This is one of the best pizza varietals around. And I think for that reason, I'm surprised to be the only person doing this, but I go
Starting point is 01:18:20 five forks for buddies pizza. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Front row is standing up.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Wow. They're, they're just excited because the end of the show is approaching. They're getting up to leave. Yeah. I really enjoyed buddies. That fired me up. Uh-oh. Look out.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Change my score. Why? Nick, it is a cornerstone. Would I give yeast anything below five forks or flour or water? No. I have to change to five forks, wives. It's a cornerstone of pizza. You can give yeast five forks.
Starting point is 01:19:18 It's pretty good. As good. Wow. Five forks. Five, five, two five forkers, one four and a half forks. That means welcome to the Colton Blight Club. Detroit's pizza. Detroit, Detroit's own buddies pizza.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Marissa is standing in her score. I'm standing firm four and a half. I admire that. That salad was underdressed. I respect that. No, it was fantastic. Mitch, when someone is just exceptionally good at what they do, it could be a waiter, a chef, a doctor, a podcaster.
Starting point is 01:19:51 A podcaster? You know you're in good hands. It's like seeing a waiter balance five trays of sizzling fajitas on one arm or a chef running a kitchen so well that even a professional food podcaster would be left speechless. You're confident in them. And when you find the right doctor, you can feel it. You feel heard and at ease.

Well, we're going to be heading back to the hotel when we're done with this show, but there was a little bit of an issue checking in. That's right. A big issue checking in. There was a big issue, which is that I checked in, and I'm sorry, I checked in.
Starting point is 01:21:30 The hotels were under my name, but it added everyone else's names. But then you get there, and they're confused. They're like, we have you all staying in one room under my name. They were saying, I was like, it's Mike Mitchell, and they were like, okay, so you and Nick Weiger in a room together? I was like, no. No, actually, Mitch said I would be okay with it, but Nick won't be happy. That is true. I did say that to the lady.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Wait, I have you and Nick Weiger and Darth Come from the subreddit all in a room together. I see your load is bigger than mine. We said that before. It feels like we've said the exact same shit. Who cares? Who cares? So yeah, it was a whole thing, and they ended up like,
Starting point is 01:22:14 I had to call the hotel, and I was on the phone with the front desk, and they're like, what's your name? I was like, Nick Weiger's like, what's the name on the credit card? Nicholas Weiger's like, okay, what's your full legal name? And... I replied, well, my full legal name is Nicholas Frank Weiger. And sometimes I go by Frank, which means it's time to review the Week in Hot Dog News

Starting point is 01:36:50 Milk It's weird because my answer for sweat is calm Because to you, that is a drink Hmm No, I mean, look, I guess the nice thing about the Gatorade in theory Aside from it being sticky, but ignore that Is that, like, you're leaking out your electrolytes But you could restore them by, like, licking your flesh, right?
Starting point is 01:37:20 So I guess applying that principle Country gravy What if you look what you've done? Oh, my God Look what you did There's only one answer for me, why? Yes Fagal rock and rye

Starting point is 01:38:29 Oh, wow Because there is something to, like, the end-of-life stat screen That would be, like, number of dogs, pets Like, like, oh, wow, that's more than I expected, you know I honestly think the depressing answer would be number of days spent looking at my phone Like, that would be the answer that I feel like anyone would be like Like, you know what? It was one year and ten months
Starting point is 01:38:54 I think people would be like, Jesus Christ You know what I feel bad for for this audience? Yeah Number of hours seeing Doe Boyz live Two Oh, fuck I would, like, hate to see, like, a number of hours spent having sex And it's like, two

Starting point is 01:39:51 I'd be, I don't know, I'd love to see that, that would be fascinating Yeah, fuck Gravy How many cows that you, the soul thing How many souls That's the answer, how many souls did I consume How many souls did this one life, like, take into their body to sustain themselves And it's millions, because if we're counting microbes, if those have souls
Starting point is 01:40:14 Microbes don't have souls How do you know? You think there's microbes in heaven and microbes in hell? It's a great theological question I don't know There have to be because we have, like, well, okay, we're talking about our bodies are represented different spiritually Because we do have normal flora and fauna that's just a part of our life Uh-oh
