Pittsburgh Dive Bar Talk

We're 720 pounds of podcast proclivity, 55 years of marriage with no divorces, and we're the Patron Podcast of Aut0brewery Syndrome, Provocatively Dressed Catholics, Midgets from the Middle East, AND... Fat Folks Feeling Fine!

Crack open a beer and you can listen to the same kind of crap that you hear in your local tavern.  But this is free and there are no bar fights.

The Prince of Pittsburgh

When in peril and hard times,

 drinking beer makes it all better.

The Prince of Pittsburgh's Perfect Pizza Quest

In his never-ending desire to serve you, his loyal subjects, the Prince of Pittsburgh has mounted a quest for the holy grail of dive bar sustenance - the perfect pizza. Henceforth, The Prince will eat as much pizza required to make a comprehensive evaluation of the pies offered by bars, restaurants, and parlors in the four-state area of his domain. Six attributes will be evaluated on a 1-10 scale for a possible perfect score of 60.

This week The Prince sampled the wares of a neighborhood favorite: Mars Pizza. He and his royal companion had completely different opinions of their pies.

The Prince evaluated a pepperoni pie:

  6 - Appearance 

  5 - Cheese

  7 - Sauce

  5 - Crust

  9 - Topping Amount

  6 - General Flavor

38 - Total Score

The pizza was average, but was still very good the next day when it was cold.

His guest evaluated one with onions, mushrooms, and meatballs:

  9 - Appearance 

10 - Cheese

10 - Sauce

  9 - Crust

10 - Topping Amount

10 - General Flavor

58 - Total Score

Almost perfect! And she claims that being drunk did not affect her scores,

This Week at the Dive Bar*

* "Dive Bar" is like "Air Force One". If The Prince of Pit9%tsburgh is there, it's the Dive Bar.

Feel Good Song of the Day

There was a time when The Prince paid for seats this good. Now he squirrels the money away to win the chance to spend an hour on Cleveland radio personality Rachel Steele's show.
