That's why when someone doesn't have an opinion, I think they didn't have a real childhood. It's true. And I think that it's also the last thing we can probably all agree on. Literally, I think it's like, that's why people seem to be talking about pizza more and more. It's like, oh, yeah, mean the one thing we can probably talk about not? Yeah,

yeah, yeah the only peaceful thing

left my last one. How do you like to reheat a slice? This

is a good question You know, you're asking someone who just told you that his level of patience is nil But uh, will go microwave because I'm lazy. I'm lazy. I like the honest. It doesn't do it. It doesn't. It fucks it up. It fucks it up. It's the only way to do it properly is in the oven to heat it to where you can get some semblance of the fresh pie that you had the night before. That's the only way to get close to that. The microwave rubberizes the cheese or something. So you're better, if you're gonna go microwave, you're better off just to go cold. Oh, I agree. But that's a different experience too. I go cold a lot because of the impatience. But I'll go microwave. I try to do like five seconds. I'm like, just a little bit of jolting it back to length. You know what I mean with the defibrillator. Yeah. I can't wait 40 seconds. I can wait five seconds. Yeah, maybe it'll take days to get this oven to 250. Come on.

Well, I like to end it with what is your perfect slice? What's on it? And where is it from? I went through a phase,

I think in my New York days, where pepperoni and sausage were just absolute kings into me. I got it all the time. I would get it from Stromboli on Second Avenue and like fourth or fifth or six, something like that. And it was great. Used to love it so much. I've always loved meat lovers. I've recently developed a crazy respect for Greek, just a Greek slice or a veggie slice. But my favorite right now is that Santa Monica. I mean, I just gorge on it so much. But you'd be hard-pressed. If you open up a pizza box and I have no idea what we got, I don't know what would have to be on it for me to not be turned on to go for it. But yeah, I try to cut back on me, but when it comes to a slice and you're saying death row

kind of thing, I'm probably going meat lovers. Wow. But here's the thing. Aren't you nervous about being executed the next day? Why would you do like, that seems very, it's always the fundamental flaw of the death, like, oh, I'm gonna, here's the right thing. I'm gonna order when I'm on death row, this really gluttonous meal. Oh, by the way, I'm getting murdered the next day. Okay, cool. I probably will finish this easily. You would love it. Someone's like, Oh, I don't know if I should have this, but I got for me. And then somebody

has to be like, well, you're gonna die tomorrow. You will die tomorrow. Oh,

all right. Well, maybe I will get the ice cream. It's like, I'm still vomiting from being murdered tomorrow. But cool. Eat that deep dish pizza right now. Cool.

You know, I will say if you gave me a wish, my wish is could I try today, Patelis, then to know if it really is this treasure or was I just a child who it was special because it wasn't a chain place and there was the atmosphere. Or was it legit? Like awesome. I think it might have been legit. I

think it's all the above. I wish I could. It's the first time that somebody's actually said that. Like, you know, we talked about the nostalgia factor, but not actually like wanting to verify. I like, I love that. That's yeah.

I'd love to know the truth. I really would. But I know that I never will. And it will live in my mind as like, just the best.

Rory, this was awesome.

Thank you so much. You were a very fun guest. And you had a lot of confessions that might be too extreme. I might have to edit out. But you were a little too vulnerable. Thank you.

Little

too vulnerable. Disturbed us.

Little murder thing. well. I'm gonna get me in trouble.

No, man, thank you so much. This was a blast. And God

bless your move to Colorado. Hopefully it all works well. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Attention everyone. Coast to coast and all the ships at sea.

It's

time for pizza news.

Sea Trade Cruise News reports Princess Cruises is collaborating with renowned pizza maker and restaurant, Tertoni Jamignani, taking his pizza to the seas. They're marking the collaboration by trying to set a Guinness record for the largest pizza party at multiple venues.

So Scott Wiener is joining us still. Obviously, he's hanging out this whole episode of Scott's Pizza Tours. Are you going to be super judgy about the type of news items that Arthur is selecting? Because you guys are both, as I mentioned, the greatest, most prolific pizza experts that ever lived. So what are your thoughts so far? Well, it's

funny. You can tell how much I respect Arthur by how I am of the things he says. Sure. Because if I have no respect, then there's no reason to jump in and help try to make a correction. But that's why Arthur will get a text from me almost every single day, letting him know about something he has done or said that's wrong. And that's just a sign of

my life. See, I don't know if I have love, but I still like critiquing him. So I don't know. What does that say?

Is this retribution for your brother? Is that what's going on here,

Alfred? Is that what's happening? I'm just reading this script that Alfred sent me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Checks in the mail. Eater added so what to a head about New York City's Prince Street Pizza coming to Chicago, noting how the now-national mini-chains founders' political baggage, a series of what appeared to be racist-threatening Yelp posts, social media posts mocking Black Lives Matter protesters, and supporting Blue Lives Matter. A Trump-appointed judge in Alaska resigns over sexual misconduct, leaving only one judge in the state, the Star Tribune reports. How can that be true? There was an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship with a clerk who later became an assistant US attorney There were repeated lies to investigators about what happened. Where am I going with this? Well a week after she left the clerk's position. They went out for drinks. He allegedly made advances four days later He moves out of his house and she throws him a pizza party. I'm suddenly wishing I did not do this item So we'll double down on the pizza and sex by going to the New York Post, because that seems like a good idea. Guts and stories for

the last show of the

year, man.
