What are Ray Fittipaldo's thoughts on the Super Bowl and the Patriots?
Well, I guess I'll start this thing limits because Joe is not at his post. Now, this happens about once a show. And it's time for Ray Fittipaldi. Oh, there he is.
Donnie, have you gone to this pizza contest we're having yet?
I've tried a slice.
There's like 20, 20. There's like 100 boxes of pizza.
Yeah, they got like 50 plus places.
Absolutely incorrigible. I apologize for my tardiness. I haven't done the read for Ray, Joe, so you have to take care of that responsibility. I sure will. Ray Fittipaldo presented by the AV-rated super lawyers LGKG, Luxembourg, Garbutt, Kelly, and George. Ray, how are you?
I'm good. Joe, out of all those pizzas, how many could you identify by the shop? Not necessarily your favorite, but can you identify which shop they came from?
I'll say this. There's at least five. And to be honest, there's probably about 30, 20 to 30 different places in there. Would you guys agree with that estimate?
I think they got over 50.
They did? Yeah. So of the boxes I saw, and I'm a pizza connoisseur, there were five that I'd never even heard of, Donnie.
Oh, there's several in there that I've never heard of. And the boxes don't always make it easier because how often is the box just like a guy throwing up a pizza?
Right. Did you know Pomp used to be a pizza cook? I did know that. So did I. Did you know that? Pomp was a man of... Did I know that you knew that? No. Did you know that I was a pizza cook? No. Yeah. Bocce's Pizza in Buffalo. I had 12 pizzas in the oven at one time all the time. So you were pretty good at it. I was very good at it. Ray, what about you? You were a pizza cook, Ray?
I was not a pizza cook. I was a bar back when I was in high school and college.
Well, Joe, I think it's you. You've said that somebody, like, people should at one point or another work in the food industry in some way, shape, or form, right?
Yeah, I agree with that. Yes.
I checked that off in high school. I worked at Chick-fil-A, Westmoreland Mall. Place was an absolute zoo around holiday season. I bet, man. And I've told you before, I miss the infamous Tomlin nearly tripping Jacoby Jones scene.
Because you were taking an order?
Because that was, remember, it was Thanksgiving night. We could not call off on Black Friday, and I got scheduled to work at 10 p.m. Thursday night until 10 a.m.
Friday morning. Oh, that hurts.
I missed the entire second half of that game, and it was a great second half. The first half stunk in comparison. It was like 3-0 at halftime.
You missed a legendary football moment, Donnie Football. Ray, where are you watching the Super Bowl this year?
I think I'll watch it at home. That's what we've done the last couple of years, so nothing exciting.
Limits, how about you? You going to a party?
We always host. Our family comes over.
Nice. Yeah, it's nice. How about Donnie? We're just going to one of Sarah's friends' houses.
I'm going into my basement. Oh, no, my sister and her son are coming in, I just remembered. So that should be fun.
Are you going to let them go to the basement too, or are you going to banish them to another area of the house?
I'll watch it with them. Now that I think of it, my wife is making chili, and maybe even some more people are coming over. I just remembered all that.
Ray, what's the go-to food? Not Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday.
I mean, there's always got to be pizza involved, right? I kind of feel like whether it's homemade or whether you order – And then just chips and dips. I mean, just keep it simple, right? You can't screw up Super Bowl Sunday snacks.
That would be difficult. Pizza, wings, all the things. Ray, who's going to win the game? And are you interested? Like more than usual, less than usual? What's your interest level in this game?
I'm sick of the Patriots being there, to be honest with you guys. And I can't believe the number hasn't moved off four and a half or two weeks. Like I think Seattle is... better than the Patriots and probably by more than four and a half. But you know how it goes. Vegas always knows something. But, you know, I think the Seahawks should win going away if Sam Darnold plays well and he's played well pretty much the entire season.
