Have you ever pondered the true essence of Detroit living? Join us on "This American Ride" as our lifelong friend Justin, affectionately known as JL, makes his podcast debut and sets the record straight. From middle school memories to his exciting career move from New Jersey to Detroit, Justin's journey is nothing short of captivating. We laugh over our unforgettable night at the Peacock Bar in the Waldorf Astoria, reflect on our mixed feelings about New York City, and dive into Justin's quest for the perfect slice of pizza in a city not typically famed for its mom-and-pop pizzerias.

Ever wondered what makes New Jersey's pizza landscape so unique? Prepare for a mouth-watering discussion that traverses from New York-style pizza in the north to the thin, crispy Trenton-style in the central region. We throw in our experiences at places like Pepe's Pizza and DeLorenzo's, and even a shoutout to a Detroit pizza joint that earned high praise from none other than Dave Portnoy. A lighthearted note on a uniquely shaped bourbon bottle adds a fun twist to our culinary journey.

Shifting gears, we dive into the sprawling urban landscape of Detroit, contrasting it with the dense confines of Manhattan. From the trials of being a Detroit Lions fan to the fierce college football rivalries in Michigan, our sports discussions are as passionate as they are insightful. We touch on the polarizing figure of Jim Harbaugh, the evolving dynamics in college football due to NIL deals, and even the complexities of political affiliations with a sprinkle of bourbon and craft beer appreciation. Join us for a blend of humor, nostalgia, and thought-provoking discussions that offer a little something for everyone.
