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:
7 - Appearance
8 - Cheese
5 - Sauce
8 - Crust
7 - Topping Amount
7 - General Flavor
42 - Total Score
Jioio's is the favorite pizza of many people I know, including my guest. It comes down to the sauce. It is a sweet sauce that I don't prefer, but there are some that drive many miles to get to it, so it is definitely worth a try. (That's what makes these pizza ratings interesting and stupid! We all have different tastes.)
The Prince's guest also chose a pie with pepperoni:
8 - Appearance
9 - Cheese
10 - Sauce
9 - Crust
9 - Topping Amount
10 - General Flavor
55 - 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).
