00:16Alright, alright, cool, thanks. Alright, pizza review time. Damn fine pizza. So we drove, what, 35, 40 minutes outside the
00:26city to try this.
00:27Now it's Neapolitan, not necessarily my prime style, and I would never drive 45 minutes out for Neapolitan.
00:35I did for this because I'm in San Francisco doing pizza, and this is Neapolitan.
00:40For me, it's going to start at 6-8, and it's hard to get off that score.
00:45It's all how you like pizza.
00:47But here's why I did this, because as I'm eating pizza in this city, and this is clearly a city
00:53that you'd be like,
00:54oh, maybe they don't love Dave Portnoy, like extreme left, and they have their preconceived notions about me.
00:59They read the articles online, they repeat their own lies over and over and over again.
01:03But one of the things they do that drive me nuts, San Francisco Chronicle wrote an article,
01:07and I tried to find this guy's number to confront him about it and sit down with an interview and
01:11be like,
01:11they're calling pizza places, popular pizza places.
01:15This is a guy, Nico Madrigal Yanikowski from San Francisco Chronicle.
01:21He's calling these places and being like, hey, would you accept Dave Portnoy in your place?
01:26And they start like, you know, he's a pizza reviewer, most influential pizza person in the country.
01:31He's done this, this, this, this, all lies.
01:33They're all lies.
01:34I love, there's context behind all of it, whatever.
01:37But they try to shame these pizza places.
01:39They try to make them embarrassed to serve me, create controversy,
01:42and I'm trying to help small business.
01:44They're trying to ruin small business.
01:46So why am I out here?
01:47It's a long-winded backstory.
01:49This lady who runs this, Laura, and let me find it.
01:57Laura Seymour had some of the best quotes I've ever heard about everything.
02:02So they gut your journalism, they call her up.
02:05They're like, would you let him in?
02:06She's like, yes.
02:07Well, he's done these things.
02:08Here's what you said.
02:10I would, for me showing up, I would welcome that.
02:13I'm confident in my product and my pizza should be joyful, she told San Francisco Gate,
02:17that San Francisco Chronicle.
02:19It's the pizza that I like, so I can stand, I can firmly stand behind that.
02:23And if someone else doesn't like it, I'm fine with that too.
02:26San Francisco Chronicle informed Seymour of Portnum's past behavior.
02:30She replied that she dealt with sexism her entire career.
02:32I don't think you have to love everything about what a person does in their life
02:35to accept the products they are putting out, like politics or anything, she said.
02:39I don't agree 100% or even at all, but we're all just people here trying to figure it out.
02:43She added, I'm a feminist, but in hospitality and a life, I try to stay open to all people
02:48and always welcome the opportunity to change hearts and minds.
02:52That got me in the car 45 minutes, even though Neopal is not my style.
02:56That is the most refreshing answer I've heard, like, hey, maybe you should judge somebody
03:01and not let all these preconceived notions of what you think somebody is or people are
03:07and meet them and make up your mind.
03:09So shout out Laura Seymour.
03:12Damn fine pizza.
03:13I came out just because I was hoping to meet her.
03:14She's not here.
03:15But that is a great answer.
03:16You got so much hate going on.
03:18Maybe if you had her attitude, it's like, you know, I'm not going to listen to you
03:21pushing your agenda, your narrative.
03:24I'm going to meet them.
03:24We'd be in a better spot.
03:26One bite every end of those rules.
03:31It's Neopal.
03:32Look, I'm going to go 7-2 overall because I like the lady, but everyone knows my score.
03:40All Neopal is 6-8.
03:41You should support Laura Seymour.
03:43Damn fine pizza just because we need more of her in the world.
03:47So I drove out just to do that entire rant.
03:51There you go.
03:51That's your view.
03:53She kept calling her Laura Wagner.
03:55What's her name?
03:56Laura Wagner is the reporter that hates her.
04:00Laura Seymour.
04:04Why didn't someone say something?
04:07I was like, wait a second.
04:09I got three people sitting around.
04:10I got the wrong name the whole thing.
04:13You said it right the first time.
04:14It's Laura Seymour.
04:15Yes.
04:16Laura Seymour.
04:17Laura Wagner, not to turn this on a down note, she's everything that's wrong with the world.
04:22Laura Seymour, great.
04:24Every time I say the other girl's name, beep it and say Wagner.
04:27I'm saying the wrong name.
04:29You guys are just sitting there.
04:30I'm saying my archenemy's name, trying to say how much I love this lady.
04:33Laura Seymour.
04:34Laura Seymour, everything that is right in the world.
04:36Laura Wagner, everything that is wrong.
04:39Laura Seymour.
04:40You said it.
04:41You said it.
04:42You said it.
04:43You said it.
