This week, Harley and Big Lynch go deep on the McPizza: McDonald's decade-long war to win dinner from Pizza Hut. The boys trace it from the 1985 pizza-pocket prototype to the 145 pepperoni taste tests, the $950,000 custom rapid-cook ovens that still needed 11 minutes to serve a pie, the widened drive-thrus, the Howie Mandel commercials, and the full-size pies served on metal racks across Canada. Then the long death: 500 stores shrinking to two holdouts in Pomeroy, Ohio and Spencer, West Virginia, the fans who drove 1,000 miles for one last slice, and the corporate order that finally killed it. Plus: Harley reports back from Shambhala, and the guys plot a road trip to the last McPizza in Orlando.
