Dear Tiny...
With 57 years of marriage - and ZERO divorces - between them, Tiny and the Prince of Pittsburgh have seen and done it all! Now - for the first time - they are willing to share the secrets of their success in dating, love, marriage and living happily ever after. What puzzles you? They can show you the path to true happiness! Nothing is out of bounds. Have you ever wondered how to...? Go ahead and ask - they have the answers! Your real name will be kept private, and the best questions will be answered on the podcast. If you want to drop the fellas a note, feel free to leave it here.
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.

The Prince evaluated a Pepperoni Pizza:
8 - Appearance
7 - Cheese
8 - Sauce
9 - Crust
8 - Topping Amount
8 - General Flavor
48 - Total Score
Sit down or take out, some nice specials if you eat in. (Like half price alcohol on Thursday!) The spicy pepperoni had some honey added if you like it sweeter.
The Prince's guest also chose a pie with pepperoni:
7 - Appearance
7 - Cheese
9 - Sauce
7 - Crust
9 - Topping Amount
8 - General Flavor
47 - Total Score
The Superfans have challenged Tiny to his own games. Each week they play along on The Movie Game (5 points for the title, 1 point for the year it was released) and The Music Game (3 for the song title, 2 for the artist, 1 point for the release year).
Hip Hip Hurray!! teddy roosevelt defies all odds!!
Teddy has been a dedicated player since the Superfan Challenge began. Each game was met with plenty of spirit and determination, but the total score for the season barely broke into double digits. Teddy scored one 6 in The Movie Game in Season 3 and one 6 in The Music Game in Season 9. In an amazing come-back, Teddy has started Season 11 with perfect scores in BOTH games! Somebody hold Teddy's beer! Season 11 will be taken like the charge up San Juan Hill!
