00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:03 All right, pizza review time.

00:10 We're in Madison, Amado's.

00:12 I love the guy in there.

00:13 It's a husband and his fiancee.

00:15 Seven years.

00:17 Guy's super excited.

00:18 Grew up here.

00:19 Been in the pizza business.

00:20 Hey, come meet-- that's my fiancee, Jordan.

00:23 Nice to meet you.

00:24 So it's the two of us.

00:25 Oh, I've had it for.

00:26 We're here going on seven years.

00:27 Seven years?

00:28 Yeah.

00:28 Nice.

00:29 I've been doing this my entire life.

00:30 Yeah, from this area.

00:32 Yeah, so I grew up in Madison.

00:33 And my parents had a restaurant in Brantford for 25 years.

00:37 I worked there, ran it with them.

00:38 They retired, sold it.

00:40 And I opened up here in my hometown.

00:42 It's been going--

00:43 [KNOCKING]

00:43 Good?

00:44 Good.

00:45 Good.

00:45 Unbelievable.

00:46 Yeah, it's been going great.

00:47 I love the way they're answering the phones.

00:50 Like, his fiancee's answer is pouring out.

00:52 His fiancee's answering the phone.

00:55 And they're talking about the-- oh, I heard.

00:57 Congratulations.

00:58 I heard she did great.

00:59 What kind of pizza?

01:00 Yeah, I can do that for you.

01:01 You want this?

01:02 I'll tell Amado.

01:03 Like, such mom and pop, like, local flair.

01:06 I'm so-- congratulations, Stuart.

01:08 Oh, perfect.

01:09 I will tell Amado.

01:10 That's so exciting.

01:11 What are we thinking?

01:12 Yeah, they blew him free, right?

01:13 We're now where it gets good, Austin, as he's making the pie.

01:16 And he goes, you're going to love it.

01:18 You're going to love it.

01:19 I think you're going to love it, though, Dave.

01:21 Yeah?

01:22 I'll be honest.

01:23 You know my style, so--

01:24 I do.

01:25 I think you're going to freaking love it.

01:26 All right.

01:28 That puts a lot of pressure on me.

01:30 And this guy knew I was in Nantucket.

01:32 He knows my moves.

01:33 He knows what kind of pizza.

01:35 You're going to love it.

01:36 All right, I hope I do, Amado, because I love you guys.

01:40 Here it is.

01:40 So it's cut New Haven style.

01:43 It's a little drippy drippy.

01:46 Oh, he said I'm going to love it.

01:48 This is a little-- he wants a picture.

01:49 It's New Haven there.

01:52 I want this to be an eight so bad.

01:54 It looks like a 70.

01:55 I want it to be an eight one.

01:58 [WATER SPLASHING]

02:00 It's the same thing I said on this trip like five times.

02:06 Tighter.

02:08 Tighter.

02:09 Like this is a-- this needs a one over with a napkin,

02:13 a paper towel.

02:14 But superb taste.

02:22 [WATER SPLASHING]

02:24 What's going on?

02:27 How's it going, brother?

02:29 How's it going?

02:30 Best pizza in town, brother.

02:33 Here?

02:33 Best pizza in town.

02:34 [WATER SPLASHING]

02:36 All right, here's what I'm doing.

02:41 I'm going to say what I'm doing.

02:43 I'm just going to say what I'm doing.

02:44 [WATER SPLASHING]

02:47 He's right here.

02:51 Pressure's on.

02:52 Hey.

02:52 [LAUGHTER]

02:53 Yes.

02:54 [LAUGHTER]

02:55 You ready?

02:56 [WATER SPLASHING]

02:58 Eight one.

03:01 I'm going to go eight one.

03:02 Now this may have been a slight, because I

03:07 love this guy and the husband and fiance.

03:11 He may have gotten the benefit of a little maybe one,

03:14 but it's really, really fucking good.

03:16 I'm going to go eight one.

03:17 I'm going to go eight one.

03:18 The first pie of the day, too.

03:20 The only thing that I would-- if you know my style,

03:22 the only thing I would have done different

03:24 is that if I was here, I'd paper towel that.

03:27 Right, but I got another one coming out for you.

03:30 What do you mean you got another one?

03:31 I got another one.

03:32 How is it?

03:32 Because that was--

03:32 He doesn't like the super greasy.

03:34 Right.

03:34 Because that was the first--

03:35 That was the first pie of the day.

03:37 That's exactly right.

03:38 That was the first pie of the day.

03:39 So the oven's not quite up to temp either.

03:44 We open at three, so my oven--

03:47 So when's the other pie coming?

03:48 I always gave you a great score because I like you,

03:51 and I like the challenge, and I like the story.

03:53 And you're like, you're going to love it.

03:55 But this one needed a paper towel.

03:57 Yeah, no, absolutely.

03:59 That's why I got another one in the oven.

04:01 Well, when's the next one coming out?

04:03 This fucking guy.

04:04 My whole-- I'm getting so soft in my older age.

04:08 I'm getting so fucking soft.

04:09 I'm pathetic.

04:10 I'm a loser.

04:10 I'm pathetic.

04:11 It does taste great.

04:12 It's just soupy.

04:14 That guy from over there knew.

04:16 What was that, the Legion over there?

04:17 What is that over there?

04:18 It's the Golf Range, brother.

04:20 Golf Range.

04:21 What, brother?

04:22 Every other word, brother.

04:22 I love that.

04:23 You know my uncle, man.

04:24 Who's your uncle?

04:25 Jimmy Galante.

04:26 Oh, yeah.

04:27 Yeah, in Asia.

04:28 The Hawkey.

04:29 I was there at Ruffin Rowdy.

04:30 Yeah.

04:31 The first Ruffin Rowdy over in Providence.

04:33 With the Amesbury.

04:34 No, the trash cans.

04:36 Yeah, trashers.

04:37 Yeah, the Danbury Travers.

04:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:41 All right.

04:42 Funny chip of a fucking ran into you, man.

04:44 This is great.

04:47 What if this pizza's just the same exact thing?

04:49 When are you coming back to Providence, brother?

04:51 Providence?

04:53 Is this going to just be the same exact thing?

04:55 So that's a better one.

04:56 That's a better looking.

04:57 See?

04:59 Show the difference here.

05:00 There's a major difference in these two.

05:02 Look at it.

05:03 See that?

05:04 This one's--

05:05 The oven wasn't quite right.

05:11 So why didn't you--

05:13 That's why I put another one in right away.

05:15 But I didn't want you waiting either.

05:17 This one's a--

05:18 Because it was past your 20 minute mark.

05:20 So I was like--

05:21 I was like--

05:22 I was playing my cards.

05:23 This one I can already tell.

05:24 Sorry.

05:24 We'll go redo it.

05:25 I already gave you a great score.

05:27 I know.

05:27 But this one's a little jitty.

05:28 [INAUDIBLE]

05:30 Yeah.

05:30 Next time, leave the towel.

05:32 What?

05:32 [INAUDIBLE]

05:34 I can help you golf.

05:37 And it's not that far off.

05:38 I got a bad bum shoulder.

05:40 That should bother you.

05:42 Trust me.

05:43 Yeah, the guy's chirping my golf swing.

05:45 Coming in for pizza.

05:46 He's in my asshole about my golf swing.

05:48 I thought you were going to say something serious,

05:50 like I really appreciate what you do for Tunnel for Towers.

05:53 Leave some time to golf swings.

05:55 It stinks.

05:56 All right.

05:56 Night and day.

06:06 Night and day.

06:07 Can I explain myself on that one?

06:09 Explain it.

06:10 I already-- you have--

06:11 The oven wasn't quite up to 10.

06:13 So I put a little extra cheese on the first one

06:15 because I knew it was going to stay in there longer.

06:17 So it wouldn't break down.

06:18 It would hold up better because it

06:20 was going to be in the oven a couple more minutes.

06:23 That's the way it would normally be

06:25 with the normal amount of cheese.

06:26 Night and day.

06:27 But then I didn't want you waiting too long.

06:29 You're right.

06:30 I pushed it out.

06:31 And then you had me won over.

06:32 You had your fiancee schmoozing on the phone,

06:34 giving a whole lot.

06:35 It's like, all right, give this guy an 8-1.

06:37 When it wasn't really an 8-1.

06:39 This is a legit 8.

06:41 So I feel better about myself now.

06:43 I mean, you can just look at the pizzas.

06:45 Night and day, this one's so much drier and easy to eat.

06:48 And I thought you don't need to pay the towel on this one.

06:51 So I'm glad we got the real one.

06:52 Yes.

06:53 This is excellent.

06:54 First one, I was just like, I like the guy.

06:56 And my whole scale--

06:58 That's right up your alley.

06:59 This is perfect for what I like.

07:01 All right, thank you.

07:02 Nice meeting you guys.

07:03 I need some pictures.

07:04 Oh, yeah, yeah.

07:05 Let's do it.

07:05 Hey.

07:06 Your shoulder shouldn't--

07:09 Trust me.

07:11 I barely have a shoulder.

07:12 I'm paralyzed.

07:13 It's not your shoulder.

07:14 You got 10 minutes?

07:16 Sure.

07:18 Cool.

07:19 Very nice meeting you guys.

07:20 Thanks, Dave.

07:21 You guys have always a success.

07:21 Yep.

07:22 Thank you so much.

07:23 Yep.

07:23 I gotta go play golf.

07:26 I don't even like golf.

07:27 What are we going to do, in the rain?

07:28 I can't watch that fricking competition anymore.

07:30 What?

07:31 Oh, yeah.

07:33 No, no, understand.

07:34 I am not left-handed.

07:36 Well, here come the accusers.

07:37 That's all you need to do.

07:38 I can barely do that.

07:39 OK.

07:40 But you don't need a long backswing.

07:43 That's not where your power comes from.

07:45 Width is where your power comes from.

07:47 But you need to hinge and release that club.

07:49 Your power comes from that, OK?

07:54 Throw ball?

07:55 Not anymore, but you did.

07:57 What's the last thing you do?

07:58 Ball throw?

07:59 Wrist.

07:59 Ball throw is not a lone action.

08:01 It's just not stopping another action.

08:03 Did you ever shoot a basketball?

08:04 Horribly.

08:05 Probably.

08:06 This is your issue.

08:07 Curl the fingers there.

08:09 That's the grip.

08:10 Nothing more than that.

08:11 This is what you're missing.

08:14 Feel that release?

08:15 Yeah.

08:16 That is-- you get that club, and every video I've seen you do

08:19 has been like--

08:21 OK.

08:22 This is a spot you've never been to.

08:29 No, right.

08:30 OK.

08:30 Right arm does all the work.

08:36 It goes up to here.

08:37 Does that hurt anywhere?

08:38 No, my left shoulder hurts a little bit.

08:40 OK.

08:41 But this, all we're going to do is we're not

08:43 going to push that down.

08:44 We're just going to pull.

08:45 Comes back, accepts it, comes through, and accepts it.

09:00 When you do this, that's why you get hit five wood from 150.

09:05 Who's hitting five wood from 150?

09:07 You have the power, though.

09:08 But you are grabbing it here, and you're

09:20 trying to control this end.

09:22 This end doesn't matter.

09:23 You ever swing a baseball bat?

09:26 Again, back to badly?

09:27 No.

09:29 But which end do you swing?

09:30 The part you're holding onto.

09:31 Yeah, right.

09:32 And you know the big end's coming around.

09:34 I don't go--

09:35 Right.

09:36 And the same thing with golf.

09:37 I swing the little end, because I know

09:40 the big end's coming around.

09:41 Hinge, and we're still holding onto that club,

09:57 because the grip feels stupid.

09:59 The ball feels stupid.

10:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

10:04 Right arm does all the work.

10:06 And you say no power.

10:13 What's this, a six?

10:14 I mean, that's no power.

10:14 Back, pull down.

10:22 We never hinged it.

10:27 Up, hinge, and pull the right arm straight down the ground.

10:32 That's a push.

10:33 I hinge, I want to pull straight down.

10:35 Right arm up, hinge, and down.

10:42 Do you even think you're going to hit it?

10:44 I have no idea what's going to happen.

10:45 All right, I appreciate the free lesson.

10:47 I got to work on it.

10:48 Enjoy.

10:49 Thank you.

10:50 A little more work to do.

10:51 First bonus golf lesson ever in a pizza business.

10:55 Yeah, pick me up.

10:56 [INAUDIBLE]

10:59 All right, flip me up.

11:00 [INAUDIBLE]

11:01 See ya.

11:02 See ya.

11:05 Flip me up.
