Deep Dish

Is Andy middle-aged? Is Landree a nice person? Is Drumpf more stupid than he is evil? The answer to all of these questions is, frustratingly, up for debate. So plug in your ear buds, find a cozy chair, and balance your gut responses with your super ego as Andy and Landree review the past week of it-can't-get-any-crazier-but-we-say-that-every-week-yet-it-still-get's-crazier-anyway-god-help-us-all-hey-look-a-dollar-lets-buy-beer and open that beer, grab a slice and share  away because misery loves company and we love you... it's Deeeep Diiiish!

We're back at it again talkin' healthcare, France, and asking ourselves what's wrong with a little peace, love and understanding? This week Andy speaks for the male apologist (does that make him a manmansplainer? Or just a splainer?) and Landree refuses to be ok with the new Heineken commercial. Hold on to your IUDs, top your pizzas with some French fries and hug a Republican, it's Deep Dish!

What up?! Deep Dish Season 2 is here! That means 2 hosts, 2 coasts, and 2 (Spontaneous Personality Quiz! Select the third rhyming word: Roasts, Toasts, or Ghosts. Learn what your choice means at the bottom of the Episode Notes...)

Andy and Landree return after a long absence and some serious life changes. In the premier episode of Deep Dish Season 2 the hosts contemplate strange pairings, like pineapple and pepperoni and Donald Drumpf and access to nuclear weapons. Did you know that Drumpf named his small, twitchy thumbs "Tweet & Destroy"? He did. 

We're so glad to be back! We're so glad you're back! Grab a beer, grab a slice, grab (what did you choose earlier, grab that now: Roast, Toast, or Ghost... Oh, what? you didn't think your choice would come back? Choices matter, buster.) It's Deeep Diiiish!!!

Answer Key: 

Roasts: You are a warm-hearted and nurturing person with excellent taste and judgement. You should share Deep Dish with your friends.

Toasts: You are the life of the party. Everyone loves to be around your energetic and enthusiastic personality. You should share Deep Dish with your fabulous social circle.

Ghosts: You are hiding something. It's cool. We can keep a secret. Whenever you feel like the terrible darkness you conceal inside you is about to escape, instead just yell out, "Deep Dish the Podcast is great and you should listen" to whomever is around. And then run. Run! Because They are after you.

Hey Deep Dishers! Andy and Landree are back for one final face to face broadcast in Chicago before launching Season 2! Find out what life has been like for our two intrepid pizza eaters whilst America has been slowly sinking into the darkness like a misguided polar bear that voted against its own interests... What's that? Polar bears can vote? Well they won't be able to much longer unless we do something about it. So grab a beer, a slice, some sign makings and a bear life preserver... It's Deep Dish!!!

Hey Deep Dishers! What a crazy year its been! We want to thank each and every one of you personally but we don't know who all of you are, and it would probably take a lot of time, and travel around the holidays is so stressful, not to mention typical seasonal depression I mean if it weren't for pizza and beer we wouldn't even be making this podcast right now...

Speaking of, not only is this episode a double length, Holiday Special it is also our finale for Season 1 of Deep Dish. It has been a pleasure and privilege to record these past 41 episodes of Deep Dish for you. Thank you for joining us each week for pizza, beer, and comedy. We'll see you all again starting February 2017! Until then enjoy the finale, its got 4 sketches! Now grab a slice, a beer, and some non-denominational, secular, seasonal source of joy... it's Deeeep Diiiiish!

Truth be told the way Angela Merkel's behaving lately, none of it's murky, but we enjoyed that turn of phrase. We've got Animorphs, empowered teens, and women's rights for you, plus a healthy dose of pizza to help carb-soften any upsetting political blows that just keep coming our way.

Grab a bud, a brew, and add some mozzarella sticks to your delivery order: It's Deep Dish.

What up Deep Dishers! This week Andy returns and nips all of that brand name dropping in the bud. Or does he? Reunited, Landree and Andy wade into the tangled web of life, pizza, catchphrases, and intelligent, fair-minded Australian school children. The usual. So grab a slice, a beer, and your seven closest friends, and make sure they listen too. It's Deep Dish!

Since Landree has recently been abandoned by her fellow Deep Disher (just kidding Andy's doing that whole Thanksgiving family thing) she enlisted the help of her long time friend first time Deep Dish co-host Drew Johnson who ALSO happens to co-host his own podcast, You Simply Must. Listen as they catch up, name every brand they can possibly think of, and talk about any and all news that has nothing to do with the dumpster fire that is our current political climate. Well, some mention of politics might sneak in. 

Grab a beer, a bud, and brand name pizza: It's Deep Dish.

Hi Deep Dishers, we don't know what to say, so we're taking a quote from New York Times columnist David Brooks for a title.

We're in shock, just like you. We want to take action, we want to reach out, we want to hide. We want to be the best of ourselves. Election night held many lessons for America. One that stands out to us is that we may not know each other as well as we think. We are divided. We are angry. 

We do know that everyone loves pizza, and pizza is a food that is meant to be shared. So grab a beer, a slice and listen to each other, be safe, and be your best. It's Deep Dish.

Seen any horsemen around lately? Besides the usual ones we mean? We're pretty sure the Apocalypse is nigh, so arm yourself with bottled water, canned food and a crucifix. And us. We'll make you laugh and also commiserate in the blinding terror that is our current state of affairs. Grab your best bud, your best *ahem* bud (or beer if you druther) and your sense of impending doom: It's Deep Dish.
