I thought it was just a fun pizza joke.
It was an hour-long discussion about Don's crazy ideas about how pizza is made. Didn't seem like a bit or a joke to me, just Don things.

Dude doesn't want to admit he got the wrong read on something.
Sounds more like Don about pizza than @TokyoSlim about Don's take on pizza.
Perhaps the creation of a gyro-like pizza oven device to flip pizza while cooking to retroactively make Don correct is the will of the universe. Get on it, science (after COVID, please).
@Mbun @TokyoSlim
Seeing two old-time EZA members get into a argument about Don's crazy talk is at once upsetting and hilarious. Let me add my two-cents...
I also watched the whole thing of Don talking about the pizza, has it been mentioned since (I can't keep up with all the content)? On my recollection, Don did seem to emphasize that the toppings were (or could be) on the pizza when this mysterious flipping took place, so I'm backing up @TokyoSlim on that. @Mbun, when you say "when professional chefs flip the pizza", what do you mean by "flipping"? I think the definition of flipping is part of the issue here. If you mean when they spin the dough in the air to form the crust circle, that's not flipping, and I believe Don indicated that's not what he was talking about either. I believe Don was indicating that he thought the pizza gets turned upside down during the cooking process, which, as @TokyoSlim said, is crazy talk.
Maybe trying to interpret what Don means about anything is a exercise in futility, and I doubt we'll ever get a better explanation from him, but when I saw that video, I had to post it.
I think I found what Don may have been thinking of with his flipping pizza thing. Last night The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon had a viewer talent segment and this guy was flipping fuckin' pizza, here (timestamp 4min 50sec):
Of course this is just a demonstration of skill and has nothing to do with actually making pizza, but maybe it's what Don was thinking of? Thoughts?
Edit: For anyone who doesn't know what this is about, a few weeks ago Ian and Don played Family Feud and the long Flip the Pizza discussion starts here (I don't know if it has been discussed or mentioned since):
@Oscillator @Capnbobamous @Phbz Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments.
I just wanted to say to anyone who cares, and because I am sad, that my mother passed away two weeks ago, she was 77. She's been physically disabled for a long time, and I've been taking care of her for a while, but her death was unexpected and sudden.
I wanted to thank @IanHinck again for his "On Death and Grieving" video he made last year after his dad passed, and his general candor and openness with his family situation. I remembered that video and watched it again with my sister last week, it was helpful.
Thanks to all of you who took an interest in my mom enjoying some EZA content, she appreciated your comments. She was very loved, and will be greatly missed.
Outstanding special. Looking forward to the "EZA Jones & Troop Baby Vids Channel" re-branding.
I just finished watching "On Death and Grieving". It seemed that the most likely explanation for Ian's extended absence was a sick family member, and I'm sorry that turned out the be the case.
Ian, if you see this, thanks for sharing your life with us, you are loved and appreciated...by me and I'm sure many others.
My father died when I was 15, we did not get along, he was a drunken asshole and I had some relief when he died, but for a different reason than Ian. I agree with Ian that feeling guilt or shame for such things is a waste of time (although many people in the world these days could use a little more shame...).
Thanks Ian.

@nevertooold I imagine you've mentioned to them that this is happening quite often.
But to answer your question, you're probably just unlucky on this one. They must be seeing something in terms of IPs on the account or something but ya, the vast majority won't have this issue.
So I am...The Chosen One?
I asked Twitch why this keeps happening, I don't expect to get a real answer, but if I do get some useful info, I'll share it here so that when I pass my Twitch Banned Master baton to the next unlucky schlub, they'll have an advantage.
Got an email reply from Twitch on 7/14:
Your account was recently suspended or blocked due to a mistake on our part. I’ve gone ahead and reversed this suspension on your account, so you are free to use our services once again.
Apologies for any inconvenience or confusion this might have caused.
So, yeah. Is this normal? Or am I the only one on Twitch's accidental shit list?
