00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 All right, Venus Pizza.
00:20 We're in Hamilton-Wenham-- no, Hamilton-Whitman.
00:25 I love the guy in there.
00:26 It's been in his family since 1964.
00:28 The girls just went absolute bananas.
00:30 The guy, if you can hear, he knew who I was.
00:32 He said, yeah, but what are you screaming for?
00:34 Are you--
00:36 [LAUGHTER]
00:37 Oh my god!
00:38 Oh my god.
00:39 Oh my god.
00:40 Oh my god.
00:41 Oh my god.
00:42 [LAUGHTER]
00:43 What?
00:45 Is this a joke?
00:46 Oh my god!
00:47 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
00:50 Come over here.
00:53 What the fuck?
00:54 Why are you screaming like that?
00:56 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
01:02 Hawaiian, I saw you on TV last night.
01:04 What's going on?
01:05 How are you?
01:06 They're all riled up.
01:07 I know.
01:08 He goes, why are you screaming like that?
01:11 He's got nothing to hide, so we looked at the kitchen.
01:13 You want to film in the kitchen or anything like that?
01:15 What?
01:16 You want to go film in the kitchen or--
01:17 No.
01:18 Unless there's something we should see in the kitchen.
01:20 No, I-- I have nothing to hide.
01:23 I'm not going to tell you how I make pizza.
01:26 All right, if you want to look around, sure.
01:28 He has nothing to hide.
01:29 He's got nothing to hide.
01:30 Just go get them gone.
01:31 Oh, they're already gone.
01:34 So this is the kitchen, where he has nothing to hide.
01:40 Nothing to hide.
01:41 Go fast.
01:42 There's nothing to hide.
01:45 I love everything about this guy.
01:47 In that bar pie, it looks like it needs one of those,
01:51 but I like when it's darker cheese, cooked well.
01:55 So let's see what we got.
01:56 One bite, everybody knows the rules.
01:57 And the girls, you tell them, you go,
01:59 you better fucking make the best pizza of your life.
02:01 The inside of it, a plus.
02:04 So for people who are watching this outside of Massachusetts,
02:07 when you think bar pizza, when you hear me say bar pizza,
02:10 it generally looks exactly like this.
02:12 Can be a little thinner, a little drier, whatever.
02:15 But it's the inside.
02:17 Look at this place.
02:19 It's just a slab of brick with an old sign like that.
02:24 And on the inside, it's a dingy, cold weather, drink price.
02:30 There's something about it that speaks to me on a primal level.
02:33 And maybe it's because I'm here, but that is bar pie.
02:37 What is not something crazy is you sit at a bar,
02:39 drink your pizza.
02:40 One bite, everybody knows the rules.
02:42 Venus Cafe.
02:46 So this is my style of bar pie.
02:51 We've had a couple of different ones.
02:52 This is one I love.
02:53 Again, the only thing I'd say is a little less on the grease.
03:08 But I really do like this style.
03:16 I'm going to go--
03:17 I'm thinking some of the past scores I did, and this is--
03:23 again, and you've got to kind of put bar pie versus bar pie.
03:25 Like an 8-2 bar pie isn't necessarily an 8-2 New Haven.
03:29 They're different.
03:31 But I do love bar pie.
03:32 I'm in a quandary because I know--
03:43 I'm going to give this an 8-1.
03:45 I was going to go 8-2 because I know what I gave Denley's,
03:47 and I may prefer this one a little bit.
03:50 But again, when I'm scoring these bar pies,
03:53 it's not just the pizza.
03:55 It's the guy in there.
03:56 It's the whole atmosphere, everything about it.
03:59 And I love this style.
03:59 It reminds me of home.
04:00 So 8-1, Venus Cafe.
04:04 That is a review also.
04:06 While we're in, Whitman Hanson.
04:11 I live right down the road.
04:13 And I lived with Rene and the in-laws house in Abington.
04:15 We drove right past it out here.
04:17 Shout out to the greatest high school football announcer
04:19 clip of all time.
04:20 We've got to find it.
04:21 I saw it resurfaced on the internet.
04:23 I'm pretty sure I put it on the internet
04:25 because I was at home like 10, 15 years ago watching
04:27 Thanksgiving Day football.
04:29 Abington gets absolutely screwed on a backwards pass.
04:32 The announcer who's announcing the game stops and starts
04:35 screaming at the refs instead of announcing.
04:38 And they say, nuts and bolts, we got screwed.
04:39 It is my favorite high school announcing clip ever.
04:43 We'll end this review with that.
04:44 Venus Cafe, Whitman Hanson, great spot.
04:49 How was it?
04:49 I loved it.
04:50 It's my style of hard line.
04:52 I like it when it's charred.
04:53 Thank you.
04:54 Thank you.
04:54 Here you go.
04:55 Thank you very much.
04:56 I appreciate it.
04:57 I can't take just some customers.
04:58 Why?
04:59 Because I own the place.
05:00 You know what I'll do?
05:01 What the hell was that?
05:02 It means I appreciate you coming in here.
05:04 OK, fine.
05:05 If you don't want to take it, give it to the girls.
05:07 I'll give it to the girls.
05:07 Give it to the girls.
05:08 That was my next step.
05:09 You're going to give one to each--
05:10 there's three girls back there.
05:11 One for each.
05:12 Four.
05:13 Four.
05:14 Take all the money.
05:15 There you go.
05:15 Thank you.
05:16 See you later.
05:16 Merry Christmas.
05:17 See you.
05:18 Bye.
05:18 You too.
05:19 Thank you very much.
05:19 Good luck.
05:20 Take care.
05:20 Thank you.
05:21 I appreciate it.
05:22 Nice shirt.
05:24 I forgot people like, Prez, what the fuck are you doing?
05:27 Are you a teenager now or something?
05:29 This was from Zacks and Randolph.
05:31 The story went in.
05:32 Kerms, live, sell, trade, at kermshop.com.
05:36 I don't know if I can pull it off,
05:38 but if you're a whippersnapper, you can.
05:39 Support local business.
05:40 Kerms.
05:41 Second and 10, eye formation.
05:43 Looks like Driscoll, the deep man in the eye.
05:45 Austin throws it out.
05:47 Oh, no, it's a backwards pass.
05:49 That's a line ball.
05:50 It's a line ball.
05:51 Pick it up, Jody.
05:52 There he goes.
05:53 There he goes.
05:54 That's dumb.
05:55 That is a scare gun.
05:57 Oh, wait a minute.
05:58 He's saying it's an incomplete pass.
05:59 There is no way that's incomplete.
06:00 Absolutely not.
06:01 That's a backwards pass by five yards.
06:03 Absolutely not.
06:05 There's no way that's an incomplete pass.
06:10 That's a backwards pass.
06:11 It's a live ball.
06:13 That's a touchdown taken off the board against the Green Wave.
06:17 And that man does not have that call or the view.
06:21 What?
06:21 Football!
06:22 Horrible!
06:24 Boo!
06:24 Five-yard backwards pass, live ball,
06:27 touchdown off the board for the Green Wave.
06:31 Nuts and bolts, we got screwed.
