Ok,
I just relistened to portions of this past week's show again.
*I HHHHHAAAATE* people who call Pizza "PIE". It's not a damn pie. A pie is a pie. A pizza is a pizza. A sandwich isn't a donut. It's a sandwich and a donut is a donut.
STOP CALLING PIZZA "PIE". DAMN.
Pizza is a pie, pal.
Crust with fruit.
Relax.
Nuuu! it's not!
I was once at a gig where they asked me if I wanted something to eat. "Want some pie? I'm going to get some pie". "No thanks", I replied. "Maybe after I eat some dinner." We went back and forth in this very confusing conversation. They came back with pizza for themselves, and some of what we ordered. I wanted pizza and had no idea that's what they were actually getting.
There are different varieties of pies, many of which are very mealish and not desserts at all. (Shepard's pie, for example). But these are almost always clarified by their full name being used during their reference.
But THAT was confusing and unneccesary. It's called pizza. I've never heard tell of pizza being called 'pie', except in old timey nursery rhyme type stuff where it was clarified as "pizza pie".
Is this some regional thing or something? The calling it pie?
