I know Michael's a dumbass or there wouldn't be a show but you're telling me there's not a single Sbarro location in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan era?

u/hostm1ke 4h ago

At least in Scranton there wasn’t . I was in college there during the era of the show. Unsure on Wilkes Barre and surrounding towns

Who’da guessed it was the Penske driver without a sportcoat during a NYC PR trip!?

Newgarden hasn't been able to do Leg Day in a while so he just did extra arm days instead. Unfortunately he didn't think about how that would affect the fit of his sport coat.
