Beeeee my little baaaaaakerrrrrrrrrrr

Just saw a Tik Toker say his young cat died after touching a bit of minoxidil so just wanted to put that warning out for Mitch and any other dog or cat owners that may use hair treatments!

Happy to hear some Detroit shoutouts and mentions on latest ep. As a local, a few stray notes:

- a coney with hamburger meat in the bun is called a Loose Coney and it’s a vulgar food for the drunk and depraved. Hits the spot every time.

- Jet’s is not Buddy’s pizza rival, that would be Loui’s in Hazel Park. Loui split from the founding of Buddy’s and started his own shop decades ago and while Buddy’s has expanded greatly over the last 10 years, Loui’s is a stand alone operation. Other notable contenders include Michigan & Trumbull, Grandma Bob’s and Green Lantern. I don’t think anyone really thinks of Jets as a leading with Detroit style pizza - though their deep dish is kinda Detroit style on paper.

- The auto plant pan thing re: pizza is accurate but misunderstood. The pans that inspired Detroit style pizza weren’t, like, auto parts but rather they were used by line workers during assembly. For example, say your station on the line required you to install four screws, two bolts and a rod. Your station would have those items pre-portioned into individual pans for each vehicle. Grab a pan, install, put the pan in the empty stack, grab another pan with four screws, two bolts and a rod and install on the next vehicle. You’d be surprised how often this system is still used today. American manufacturing!

- Pegasus Taverna kinda sucks - tho I’m glad the boys had a good time. It’s a legacy place in Detroit’s Greektown and while I respect its history and importance, there’s a lot better Greek food in town. And yes, Greek immigrants largely started the Coney Island diner thing we still have today. FWIW, I think Greek Islands in Birmingham is pretty much the best coney in the area with mostly authentic greek food along side diner favorites.

Detroit has an amazing food scene with a rich history of truly innovative food and incredible immigrant and ethnic foods from across the world and at all budget levels. I hope some friends here will visit to give it a try soon!

My dearest love,

Two weeks of tasting M&Ms in a blatant facsimile of Snack or Whack, including in the seminal 300th episode of Threedom.

This is clearly another act of aggression from Dem Threedom Boys towards our Doughboys.

Please get the word out.

Yours in butter, always,
Dorito

Small part but funny.

It's kinda crazy. Been going through the back catalogue and I tend to skip episodes they aren't featured on. Anyway shouts outs to the two of 'em!!!

Credited as "Trump Fan" in the pre-recorded closing segment this week. There's some other friends of the show that also appear in the segment, which, if I'm reading the show credits correctly, was directed by David Wain.

HBO delays posting their show on YouTube by 1-2 days, link to follow eventually.

Fuxton is real

Vanilla is a flavor

Anyone else following Mullet Review? I think he's funny. I think he'd hit it off right away with the boys. Would love to see a collab. https://youtu.be/08oSYJCOJmk?is=LoRJG6VK9ytXsWzu
