Looks like Justino's Pizza on 10th Ave, for those wondering. Closest pizza to the CBS studio.

[u/ordinarythermos → u/bobwulff]

I scrolled so far to find this and I don’t even live in NY. Thanks.

[u/Merciless_Soup → u/ordinarythermos]

I just kept thinking "Please don't be Sbarro's... Please don't be Sbarro's..."

[u/ProphetBrohammad → u/Merciless_Soup]

It’s my favorite place to get a New York slice!

[u/Jealous_Investment66 → u/ProphetBrohammad]

[u/drinfernodds → u/Jealous_Investment66]

As someone from New Jersey, I cringed more than I laughed the first time in saw this scene lol. Perfectly encapsulates Michael lol.

[u/Realistic_Salt_389 → u/Jealous_Investment66]

I was hoping to see this!

[u/Yoyo_Ma86 → u/ProphetBrohammad]

Look, it’s Tina Fey!

[u/Veritas-Veritas → u/bobwulff]

Is it good?

[u/LiamOmegaHaku → u/Veritas-Veritas]

Honestly the one on 9th I found to be a little better, weirdly I think it's dirtier. But I think that's what makes it better. They're just a block from each other.

It's perfectly cromulent pizza. Not the best but I've been drunk more than once around that area of Manhattan and found myself there.

[u/lu5ty → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

Is it good? Bro busts out the cromulent

[u/Xyrus2000 → u/lu5ty]

You pray to Crom. You party with Cromulent.

[u/Competitive_Owl_5138 → u/Xyrus2000]

The best in life? Is to crush you enemies, drive the before you, and hear the lamentations of their women‼️ Then go out for pizza with your wife🤨🤨

[u/TheGrinningSkull → u/lu5ty]

A cromulent comment indeed

[u/andykwinnipeg → u/TheGrinningSkull]

My NYC pizza knowledge has been embiggened

[u/joelmole79 → u/andykwinnipeg]

A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man

[u/YourFriendPutin → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

Growing up the best pizza was served for 99 cents a slice on a paper plate in a dirty ass tiny place with one single sticky table at unreasonably late hours. Never change New York. I love when you find a place that gives huge slices if you order by the slice because it’d be to big to box a pie that big. Them 1.99 slices that are an entire meal lol

[u/potato_caesar_salad → u/YourFriendPutin]

I've been jealous of these stories from New Yorkers my entire life. So damn jealous.

I guess I have my own version of this in LA with Mexican food. But pizza is different. So jealous 😅

[u/YourFriendPutin → u/potato_caesar_salad]

Haha I left the city ten years ago but anywhere near the city usually has really good pizza especially north on the Hudson valley because they share the same water and rumor has it that it’s the minerals in the water that make the dough so good but idk if that’s a fact or not. Late night food runs happen everywhere though I’m sure you guys have some awesome ghetto little food shops there too

[u/MangoCats → u/YourFriendPutin]

That's the bagel legend: NYC water being better than Miami Beach water.

[u/jhust420 → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

Upvoting you for the use of the word "cromulent"

[u/docharakelso → u/jhust420]

Such usage embiggens us all

[u/cluckyblokebird → u/jhust420]

Cromulent is a perfectly cromulent word

[u/juniorRjuniorR → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

This tracks with my theory that the greasier the dude making the pie, and the more of a hole in the wall the place is, the better the pizza.

[u/luthigosa → u/juniorRjuniorR]

Same with pho, I went to a very nice pho restaurant in Calgary with very mediocre pho.

[u/caligaris_cabinet → u/luthigosa]

Same with Mexican food in LA, particularly the valley. A hole in the wall place on a strip mall with questionable health code standards is the place to go.

[u/LiamOmegaHaku → u/luthigosa]

Honestly, with most foods it tends to be the grosser the place the better the food. I spend most of my time in the greater Cincinnati area and the best Chinese and Thai places are the ones that I assume are passing their health inspections on a very thin line.

For my local buds, That's kind of why I feel like Amerasia has gone downhill since they renovated a couple of years ago.

[u/KD_42 → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

If a place is dirty there must be a reason they’re still open

[u/henryeaterofpies → u/LiamOmegaHaku]

A pizza that embiggens our waistline

[u/PhAnToM444 → u/Veritas-Veritas]

No.

I mean it’s not bad, but it’s like super average and not worth going out of your way for. It’s drunk pizza.

But also CBS is off 11th Ave and most stuff over there is closed at 11:30 or whenever this was taken. It’s pretty much that or the 24 hour Subway down the street lol.

[u/AstreiaTales → u/PhAnToM444]

making my way to penn station from brooklyn while drunk to catch one of the last trains into NJ, stopping into a random hole in the wall pizza place... you just unearthed a buried but fund memory

[u/Jolly-Resort462 → u/bobwulff]

Answering the real questions

[u/leonchase]

How do you say "lemmegetta" in Minnesotan?

[u/dalesbrother → u/leonchase]

“Sorry, can I have a”

[u/OJ_Blimpson → u/dalesbrother]

Soorey*

[u/BigAlternative5 → u/OJ_Blimpson]

Ope!

[u/Setore → u/BigAlternative5]

Just gonna squeeze right past ya there.

[u/BigConstruction4247 → u/Setore]

*scooch

[u/godddamnit → u/dalesbrother]

I haven’t lived there in years and years, but goddamnit, this is still exactly what I default to.

[u/Sarkastickblizzard → u/leonchase]

Ope! Ol'take-a

[u/xlinkedx → u/Sarkastickblizzard]

Ya, sure you bet'cha

[u/janlaureys9 → u/xlinkedx]

I 100% read that in Keith Carradine's voice from Fargo Season 1.

[u/Rhysing → u/Sarkastickblizzard]

glass noise crashing in my head at the realization of how many times I've said this

[u/Faiakishi → u/leonchase]

"lemme get, uhhhhh-"

[u/lizlemonaid → u/leonchase]

“Oh hey friend, what a lovely place you got here. Have you worked here long? Oh your parents built this place that’s great I love seeing”…….20 mins later they order the slice.

[u/FillTheHoleInMyLife → u/leonchase]

Jagottny

[u/99in2Hits → u/leonchase]

Minnesotan can confirm we do use "lemegetta" but you just hold the last "A" as more of an "eh" so think more "lettmegetteh" than "lemmegetta"

Also apparently to my Colorado friends we say the following words funny

Fork

Bag

Well

You

Betcha

It's time for me to be ending this comment now.

[u/SixthKing]

As one does in NYC

[u/DrunkenSmuggler → u/SixthKing]

JD Vance: "I'm gonna go get me a New York Slice!"

*walks into Sbarro's*

[u/iamnotchad → u/DrunkenSmuggler]

JD Vance: "Just give me whatever makes sense."

[u/Xalbana → u/iamnotchad]

I still don't get it. Who the fuck orders donuts like this.

It's like he's never ordered donuts before.

[u/notasianjim → u/Xalbana]

Its like maybe he lost all sense of his personal choice after becoming Trump’s running mate. Probably because he doesn’t have a choice in anything anymore.

[u/trumped-the-bed → u/notasianjim]

[u/Mustache_Farts → u/Xalbana]

I’ll be honest I kinda just say a smattering of the popular shit especially since I never know what my cohorts will like

edited to add: I don’t make awkward conversation that I’m only capable of replying “ok, good” to so I guess I have that

[u/CicadaGames → u/DrunkenSmuggler]

"I'm gonna go get me a New Yorker Slice just like a real dirty poor person"

*fucks a couch and eats a cat instead*

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/CicadaGames]

“First of all”

[u/SirLocke13 → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

(MeOW!)

"Shut up, dinner."

[u/P100KateEventually → u/CicadaGames]

Read this as fucks a cat and eats a couch and didn’t even flinch. Fuck I hate this timeline 😂

[u/tomdarch → u/DrunkenSmuggler]

Trump is from Queens and until the insanity and racism became his main image, was rightfully mocked for not only eating Sbarro’s in NYC but using a knife and fork.

[u/Jaerba → u/SixthKing]

Didn't Trump take Sarah Palin to a super mediocre chain where they ate pizza with a fork and knife?

[u/technosquirrelfarms → u/Jaerba]

Yep. Jon Stewart lost his shit

[u/Good_Barnacle_2010 → u/technosquirrelfarms]

Is that where he goes on that epic rant about how you kinda fold the slice, but there are like a few other acceptable ways to eat a slice? I remember dying laughing about how personal he took it

found it

[u/phdaemon → u/Good_Barnacle_2010]

This and the NY pizza vs Chicago deep dish are some of my favorite rants of his.

[u/RazgrizZer0 → u/phdaemon]

THAT'S A CASSEROLE!

[u/phdaemon → u/RazgrizZer0]

It's an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats!

[u/thisusedyet → u/phdaemon]

The thing that got me to break was when he was going on about the sauce ATOP the cheese

[u/Xerlic → u/phdaemon]

TDS did a live show in Chicago a few weeks back and Jon Stewart brought back his rant at least for a little bit.

[u/unculturedperl → u/Good_Barnacle_2010]

That made my child want to visit New York City...with the sole intention of eating slices of pizza.

It was a damn good trip.

[u/Tenocticatl → u/unculturedperl]

Sounds like the kid has the makings of a Zen master!

[u/Bocchi_theGlock → u/Good_Barnacle_2010]

His level of physical comedy mixed with top tier rants is unparalleled

Conan has more physical, some solid rants

Stephen Colbert has great rants and delivery

The younger show hosts are good all around but they seem to still have shame or something keeping them back from just going full ANGERY OLD MAN

not that they should be doing it constantly or even frequently, because then it can be forced for a topic not as endearingly absurd/unhinged, but it's great on occasion

[u/pursuitofhappy → u/Jaerba]

They hit some of their favorite haunts and got themselves a New York slice at Sbarros Pizza in Times Square

[u/ImissDigg_jk → u/Jaerba]

Sbarro's?

[u/e_dan_k]

"how long have you worked here?" "Ok good"...

[u/Milad731 → u/e_dan_k]

“Just give me whatever makes sense”

[u/chownrootroot → u/Milad731]

“Just stuff your finest slice with your second finest slice.”

[u/AshleySchaefferWoo → u/chownrootroot]

Ok, lobster stuffed with tacos.

[u/JungleBoyJeremy → u/AshleySchaefferWoo]

Stuff like this is my favorite thing about Reddit

[u/te_anau → u/Milad731]

"what are those, cheese sprinkles?"

[u/mrPandabot35 → u/te_anau]

"Good. Good. And how longbhave you worked here?"

[u/kingtz → u/mrPandabot35]

“Okay. Good.”

[u/UNFAM1L1AR → u/kingtz]

OK.

Good.

That shit is like a video game character that loaded the wrong dialog.

[u/Department3 → u/UNFAM1L1AR]

Fallout New Vegas low intelligence build

[u/CantBuyMyLove → u/UNFAM1L1AR]

Have you seen the Disco Elysium remix of that moment? https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysium/comments/1eznwhx/im_harrier_du_bois_im_running_for_vice_president/#lightbox

[u/Peemster99 → u/Milad731]

In NYC this is a way to get sold all 80 slices of pizza.

[u/NJ_Legion_Iced_Tea → u/Peemster99]

True. Or you'd be told to stand to the side until you know what you want.

[u/Mammoth-Slide-3707 → u/NJ_Legion_Iced_Tea]

"okay sweetIE just move aside 'til you know whatchu want Kay? NEXT!!! WHO'S NEXT, ALRIGHT WHADAYA WANT? PEPPERONI SLICE? OKAY PEPPERONI SLICE COMIN UP BOSS"

[u/cire1184 → u/Milad731]

"Lots of cheese here. Some pepperoni sprinkles."

[u/tavesque → u/Milad731]

“I hear the zoos in town”

[u/imtheguest → u/e_dan_k]

“And what about that guy? How long has he worked here?”

Sir that’s a cardboard cutout.

“Swell.”

[u/SaltyPeter3434 → u/imtheguest]

"And you, how long have you worked here"

(cockroach stares and blinks once)

"Good"

[u/evapotranspire → u/SaltyPeter3434]

BUT COCKROACHES DON'T HAVE EYELIDS!

[u/theanih → u/evapotranspire]

Ok good

[u/getdemsnacks → u/imtheguest]

Sir that's the wooden pizza man that shows you the specials.

[u/super-spreader69 → u/getdemsnacks]

Ok, good.

[u/Vasevide → u/e_dan_k]

“I don’t want to be on film.”

[u/g-mode → u/Vasevide]

Just cut Vasevide out of everything

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/g-mode]

proceeds not to cut them out of anything

[u/Doodahhh1 → u/Vasevide]

"ok, good."

<Rubs hands> I told them to edit her out despite knowing this video would be almost live streamed.

[u/ExpectNothingEver → u/e_dan_k]

Shady- “I’m running for Vice President!”…

Donut shop lady- “Okay”

[u/RedditLIONS → u/ExpectNothingEver]

That interaction reminded me of Rishi Sunak’s interaction with a homeless man.

Just politicians being out of touch with reality.

[u/PermaDerpFace → u/e_dan_k]

Gimme a dozen pizzas. Whatever makes sense

[u/bullet_proof_smile → u/PermaDerpFace]

That one got me.

[u/stayonthecloud → u/e_dan_k]

I need this to be JD’s eternal “please clap”

[u/Kronzor_ → u/stayonthecloud]

I need to never hear about JD again after November 

[u/mein_liebchen → u/Kronzor_]

He has a two year deal with Maybelline to hawk their mascara. He's not going any wear.

[u/traffick → u/mein_liebchen]

Any wear, hehehe

[u/BigAlternative5 → u/traffick]

JD Vance Any Wear ^TM by Mabelline

“Anywhere? Where? Whatever makes sense. Any Wear^TM OK, Good.”

[u/No-Resolve2970 → u/Kronzor_]

For real. He’s he genuinely the worst.

[u/blairco → u/stayonthecloud]

Please!

[u/fr0st → u/e_dan_k]

"One human alcohol beer please."

[u/aSkyclad → u/fr0st]

Probably my favourite episode of the whole show

[u/CaptainMack90 → u/e_dan_k]

Where’s this from?

[u/Cymen90 → u/CaptainMack90]

JD Vance went into a Donut shop and behaved like an alien asking odd questions and responding even weirder.

One of the workers there asked not to be filmed and he said "we'll just censor you then"

But they genuinely did not want to be on camera with him. He then became angry that people in the shop did not respect him for being a Vice-presidential candidate like that should give him power over the people in the shop.

And for some reason he and his campaign thought "Wow, this video is fire! He comes across so strong and cool!" and posted it themselves. And they did not censor face of the worker, either.

[u/Cainga → u/Cymen90]

Would be funny to sue the campaign for filming in a private establishment when asked not too.

[u/earlnacht → u/Cymen90]

I think it should also be noted that they then proceeded to not censor her out anyway lol

[u/GoodIdea321 → u/CaptainMack90]

The other VP candidate's donut shop appearance.

[u/SuspiciousSpecifics → u/GoodIdea321]

Seriously? I must have missed that. 🤣

[u/Eyclonus → u/SuspiciousSpecifics]

They're really trying to bury it. Its like JD Vance has never seen donuts, or ordered things from a human being before. He looks uncomfortable, the person serving looks uncomfortable, no one is happy at the end. Vance doesn't even to enjoy the food. Meanwhile Tim Walz orders runza at a place and its all energy and he seems more interested in the runza than posing for cameras.

[u/Funkyokra → u/SuspiciousSpecifics]

It became apparent that Mr. Vance has never picked up donuts for the office on the way into work. Or talked to random strangers.

https://youtu.be/pDvkt2VkArg?si=ER5mwYCbb4UKAl8G

[u/tstorm004 → u/Funkyokra]

And it's edited - these are the BEST clips from that whole event - the ones they posted and wanted people to see. I can't imagine how awkward the rest of the footage that stayed on the cutting room floor was.

[u/Willingo → u/Funkyokra]

Lol! Thanks for the clip. The question of "how long have you worked here" for small talk is fine and human, but the response/delivery of "OK" and "OK, good" is like he wasn't even listening and just so weird.

[u/Xerlic → u/Willingo]

Not to bag on food service workers, but I doubt any of them are working that job because they are passionate about doughnuts. It's fine to use how long have you worked here as an ice breaker, but the way he just asks and says okay to whatever they say comes across as very robotic. Contrast that to when Walz visited a Runza and interacted with the staff there. It came across as more human.

[u/SuspiciousSpecifics → u/Funkyokra]

Jesus fucking Christ. This guy is giving weird people a bad name.

[u/Discuffalo → u/Funkyokra]

Oh man, I forgot how wack his haircut was in that clip 🤣 This event better be in the running for the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Award 2024 if there is such an honor.

[u/GoodIdea321 → u/SuspiciousSpecifics]

Check it out, it's awkward as hell.

[u/Eyclonus → u/GoodIdea321]

No one looks happy at the end of that exchange. Tim Walz orders runza and he's so stoked to have genuine runza and talks about how they just don't get it right outside Nebraska.

[u/SolaVitae → u/SuspiciousSpecifics]

Yeah for some reason the right has been trying to pretend it didn't happen

[u/SuspiciousSpecifics → u/SolaVitae]

Maybe that anecdote will make it into pt2 of his memoirs “Hillbilly Elegy II- Forget the couch, donuts here I cum”

[u/FR0ZENBERG → u/SuspiciousSpecifics]

[u/Omnifob → u/SolaVitae]

I think it is amazing that he thought it was a good idea to upload that clip.

[u/cd_hales → u/CaptainMack90]

JD Vance in a donut shop.

[u/ImMeltingNow → u/e_dan_k]

How do you at least not ask “what’s the most popular one?” or “what would you get for your friends?”

[u/jaynovahawk07 → u/e_dan_k]

"And you! ... How long have you worked here?"

[u/rainorshinedogs → u/e_dan_k]

"and you? Ok good"

[u/Magister5]

Just Walzted right in

[u/Above_Avg_Chips → u/Magister5]

He should have immediately left on the principle that he was wearing a Yankees hat. True Twins fans know, THE NORTH REMEMBERS! /s

[u/acu2005 → u/Above_Avg_Chips]

I hate the Yankees as much as any baseball fan but I mean what other choice do you have. If you try and find a pizza place with a a Mets fan behind the counter you're probably going to be looking for a while.

[u/UniQue1992]

Can I say as someone who isn't from the US that the tone of the debate was refreshing to see? I feel like they were nice to each other and they had respect for each other. Their views are different but they weren't assholes to each other.

Much more pleasent to view and follow.

[u/two2teps → u/UniQue1992]

I was mildly bored and I haven't been mildly bored since Obama/Romney, I missed it. Granted well spoken lies are still lies, but general decorum, coherent thought, and moderators doing their jobs was so very refreshing.

[u/sortofsatan → u/two2teps]

I remember when debates were absolute snooze fests.

[u/Korlac11 → u/two2teps]

Well spoken lies are more dangerous because they’re harder to spot

[u/HairyTales → u/UniQue1992]

Especially since somehow Trump's past rhetoric has opened the flood gates everywhere in west. Suddenly it was ok to act like a clown. The public discourse wasn't that uncivilized until he ran for office.

[u/LSUguyHTX → u/HairyTales]

That was and still is his appeal to his supporters though. "He's just like us! Tells it like it is! He isn't a politician and isn't afraid!"

[u/HogDad1977 → u/LSUguyHTX]

And then you quote something terrible he said and it becomes "what he actaully meant was..!".

[u/marino1310 → u/UniQue1992]

I think it’s just because we are used to seeing Trump debate at this point and he’s always an asshole to everyone

[u/jennoside10 → u/UniQue1992]

To me it felt like Walz's debate prep was to be kind, outwardly agree with Vance where he could to show bipartisanship, and any negativity thrown needed to be at Trump so that Vance couldn't/wouldn't get the chance to be defensive on his own behalf. I bet it was an outlined strategy to keep Walz looking like the kind reasonable Midwest dad energy everyone has been loving.

Additionally Vance caught on and started doing it himself and almost mimicking Walz's strategy because he is so well liked/ Vance's biggest hurdle is how disliked he is. You can see when he catches on midway through and starts trying to actively agree with Walz, which was not his original strategy.

[u/firesatnight → u/jennoside10]

I actually think the plan for Vance was "be a human being, be relatable, be respectful" considering he is not known for any of those virtues. As someone from MN that's really all you have to do to talk to anyone around here and they will give you the time of day, and that's exactly what Walz did. He can't help himself.

Walz should have gone after him on all the contradictions, should have come ready with all the bat shit crazy stuff Vance has said, shoved it in his face and made him explain it all. The only way to combat Vance is to be a viper and there is plenty of ammo out there. But Vance knows Walz's kryptonite - being polite.

It was actually fascinating and that slippery chameleon got away with it. Missed opportunity if you ask me but I can't blame Walz either.

edit: contradictions not contractions although Vance being able to have contractions is an amusing thought

[u/TropFemme → u/UniQue1992]

It was refreshing but also simultaneously unsettling as an American. JD Vance’s polite and charismatic and positive way of delivering nativism, xenophobia, and climate science denialism is the future of Trumpism. It’s fascism with a wink and a smile.

[u/oliveGOT → u/TropFemme]

He was a lot better at debating than I expected but it's much easier when you lie about the facts.

[u/linniex → u/oliveGOT]

I thought so too, but some of it came off as the debate team captain, making sure that he followed all the rules. When he kept using the reporters name like the answer was just for her and not the entire country, I thought to myself it seemed a little bit like a rookie was trained in debating

[u/Lidjungle → u/oliveGOT]

Vance came off as a polished double-talker. It looked and sounded good, but bereft of content.

Walz came off genuine. Not polished, but you could also feel that he believed what he was saying.

Walz wins this round of "Candidate you'd like to have a beer with".

[u/TheUnknownJara → u/[deleted]]

Why am I thinking that this happened right after he signed the free meal at school bill into law? Something like he secured the kids meals, now he can enjoy some pizza and cold dew alone.

[u/Chippy569 → u/[deleted]]

If you can get out to the west burbs, find Elmar's Pizza in Plymouth. Damn good ny counter style pizza.

[u/Wootai]

JD was just behind him pointing at all the different pizza toppings then said to give him “whatever makes sense”.

[u/The_mango55 → u/Wootai]

JD Vance went to Sbarro

[u/ChewsOnRocks → u/The_mango55]

[u/Archercrash → u/ChewsOnRocks]

When Trump took Palin out for real NYC pizza he took her to Famous Famiglia. It's got to be authentic since there is a location at the San Antonio airport.

[u/GrandmasShavedBeaver → u/Archercrash]

Trump also got mocked for being from New York and using a fork and knife to eat it. There were calls for his long form birth certificate.

[u/PunNeverIntended → u/GrandmasShavedBeaver]

He also stacked his slices...

[u/the_blackfish → u/PunNeverIntended]

That sounds like it should be illegal.

[u/SpeedBlitzX → u/PunNeverIntended]

Like as if he was eating pancakes??

[u/tyme → u/ChewsOnRocks]

Look, man, Sbarro was the good stuff when Christmas shopping at the mall in the 90’s.

[u/dirtyvu → u/The_mango55]

JD: I just did a VP debate. Sbarro: OK

[u/RazorPhishJ → u/dirtyvu]

Please don’t film me

[u/_Apatosaurus_ → u/The_mango55]

JD Vance prefers Papa Murphys because he can cook it while he's in on his couch.

[u/thebinarysystem10 → u/Wootai]

Give me one of those circle things with some cheese

[u/whatproblems → u/Wootai]

it’s nyc they probably would tell him get outta here ya weirdo

[u/JoshJoshson13 → u/whatproblems]

"Ey I'm ordering hea!!"

[u/HanselSoHotRightNow → u/JoshJoshson13]

"You want a whatever slice with ya stupid face aeahh?! Go dahn to jimmy sluzos joint you want a whatever slice. This is Tommy Lucas pizza, now get the fuck outta hea!"

I'm sorry I dunno what pizza guys in New York are like i just got lost in the fantasy.

[u/time2fly2124 → u/HanselSoHotRightNow]

Sounds authentic to me

[u/Outside_Interview_90 → u/whatproblems]

Depending on the pizza spot, you’d either end up with a plain slice, or a “sorry, pal - can’t help ya.”

[u/TruthBeWanted]

Why do pizzas with missing slices suddenly look better to me? Is it due to knowing someone else wanted it too, perhaps a deeper instinct to get it before it runs out ie survival instinct, or nostalgia for the food courts of the past? I ask the tough questions.

[u/ohnoitsthefuzz → u/TruthBeWanted]

People are weird about not messing up something pristine or unopened. Like, if you put a package of cookies out at a get together and don't actually open the package, fully 3/4 of people will pick another choice vs opening the damn thing. But once someone does, it's game on. I think the appeal of a pie with a slice missing is that it lets our brain know that "you can pick this without disrupting a perfect pizza and becoming a social pariah forever".

Glad you're out there asking the real shit.

[u/TruthBeWanted → u/ohnoitsthefuzz]

Damn, that actually makes sense. =)

[u/hambonegw]

This is probably the most relatable act (for me) that he's done so far. After I have a big meeting / presentation or some solo in front of a crowd, I immediately just want to go eat something not-so-good for me and just sit down and chill out. Like, enough with the games. I just want to eat some shit and enjoy the pressure being gone.

Edit: It's amazing to me how many of you think that we all don't realize this is a photo op moment. It's a photo op, and also the man had pizza as stress relief after a stressful event. Both are true. And no one bases their vote on someone eating pizza.

[u/Jaebeam → u/[deleted]]

Love Ho fan.

I'd get the Pho, and ask to "dine in" so I'd get a giant assed bowl instead of a plastic container to take back to the office.

Your story is awesome. I miss working downtown. Ever get your hair cut at Mr. B's?

[u/finnjakefionnacake → u/hambonegw]

pizza is so good. it's so good! i rest assured that even if the entire world is forced to become vegetarian some day, we can still have cheese pizza. or even margherita! :D

[u/Lotan → u/hambonegw]

I call it my "Emotional support pizza"

I used to have to go to NYC twice a year for big meetings and I’d start thinking about the post-meeting solo pizza trip around 40% of the way into the meeting.

Had a stressful day at work, on my drive home i got a pizza to unwind.

And a joint, but the pizza made the difference.

"How long have you worked here?"

"Douchebag just tell me what the hell you want, you're holding up the goddamn line. Jesus Christ with these people"

He sounded like he was performing an audit. "How many dependants do you have? Ok. Have you or any of your dependants received any financial aid in the last tax year? Ok".

“I’ll have whatever makes sense.”

I'm seeing this everywhere. What did I miss.

[u/innerbootes → u/ShadeofIcarus]

He went to a donut shop and when he was ordering, in an attempt to being more human-like, he asked for “whatever makes sense.” Like, he couldn’t even pick out some donuts like a normal person. I don’t even eat donuts and I could pick out 12 in about 20 seconds.

It's his favorite NY slice!

That's my kind of spin room 🍕

JD Vance was seen couch shopping after the debate in New York City.

[u/BCProgramming → u/SarcasticlySpeaking]

I'm just imagining his picture being in the office of furniture stores "Never accept returns from this man"

[u/Appropriate_Cat8100]

We just taking pictures of our tv now?
