Doc knows what sausage is

Doc requests “the biggest size” pizza to get around using the words ‘extra large’.

He accidentally ends up saying “extra” multiple times when prompted by the restaurant worker as to whether he wants any extras, and then she asks him to repeat himself.

He attempts to navigate from ‘pork’ to ‘bacon’ without saying the actual word, by describing it as “the type you have for breakfast, you know, that you fry up, that kind of… slices of… pig”. However, this just prompts the restaurant worker to confirm that pork is, indeed, “like a pig”. Not giving up, he suggests that the type of ‘pork’ he wants is what “you might have with eggs, in the morning”. However, this approach is completely lost on the restaurant worker, who informs him that they don’t have any eggs. Hell-bent on getting the message across, he elaborates that you might also have the type of pork he wants with sausage and eggs, but the person on the other end of the phone is clearly losing her patience with him at this point, and interrupts him to point out that “pork is a sausage” (thus coining the title of the episode).

At the end of his tether, he then tries spelling out the word ‘bacon’, which the other person somehow mishears as ‘bone’. After he spells out the word again, she finally gives him what he wants by saying the word ‘bacon’ for him.

Winding up his order, she then confirms with him that he actually wants what he has ordered, pointing out that “it’s a different pizza” than what he started with. Doc slips up at this point, by using the word ‘pizza’ in his response.

Although he says at the end of the task that the person on the other end of the phone had been “great”, Greg is quick to point out, that halfway through the task, he was clearly irritated with her and her suggestion that he didn’t know what sausage was.

Alex confirms that Doc used the word ‘extra’ three times, and then used the word ‘pizza’ at the end. He also confirms that the pizza that was received from the restaurant was correct: just meat on bread.

Doc succeeds in his attempt to get the restaurant worker to say ‘bubbles’ for a bonus point, by telling them that is his name, leading her to repeat it somewhat incredulously.

Summing up the task, Alex states that Doc’s pizza had been the fourth most accurate order received.
