Cortisol, Crappy Pizza, and CHiP’s on a Trailer

The boys jump helmet-first into the weird, wonderful world of buddy cop TV shows, psychotropic nostalgia, and the gloriously greasy tradition of 1970s dinner outings—where the pizza was cheap, the ambiance was ragtime theater of the absurd, and the waitstaff dressed like extras from a Prohibition musical—because nothing says 'fun for the kids' like mandatory garters and foam hats.

First up: a deep dive into CHiPs, that California highway fantasy where two officers fought crime, revved engines, and—plot twist—got towed on trailers while pretending to ride motorcycles. But hold your hot dogs, because actual Officer John Baker, Larry Wilcox himself, shows up with behind-the-scenes dirt so dry it could’ve been filmed on the Bonneville Salt Flats (which, by the way, is where Wilcox once set a land speedrecord in a Mercury LN7—yes, that was a car, not a calculator).

Things wrap up with a trip down Southern California’s memory lane, including Beef & Bun, Straw Hat Pizza, and mods on mopeds—trench-coated hipsters on two-stroke engines, leaving trails of aftershave and disapproval in their wake.

Plus, Jeff’s Domino’s delivery career, which lasted roughly as long as a CHiPs cold open.
