See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes Cowboys wide receiver takes his teammates on a plane ride and Philly Pretzel Factory rolls out new pretzel pizza… Here are her stories from today.

Brandin Cooks took a few of his teammates on a plane ride recently.  He earned his pilot’s license two years ago and was finally able to take a few of his teammates up in the sir for the first time. He posted a video of them flying over Seattle Lumen Field recently.  Micah Parsons and Stephon Gilmore were his co-pilots, or they were his passengers actually.  Cooks said he enjoys flying and loves taking his teammates up into the air, but he promised not to do anymore flying until after the season.

More than likely he will be back in that plane before the Eagles are finished with their season.

We love the Philly Pretzel Factory around these parts… but this new menu item may have out love flowing even more!  They rolling out a new Pretzel Pizza at select locations.  You can get plain cheese or pepperoni.  You can grab your own at the Mayfair location on Frankford Avenue or if you happen to be in Virginia Beach stop by the Providence Square Shopping Center location.  They have plans to roll out the new pretzel pizza at chains nationwide soon. Obviously the pretzel pizza is made with pretzel dough and rolled out to look like a pizza topped with cheese or pepperoni.  Anyone want to take a trip to Northeast Philly for us and pick up a couple pretzel pizzas???
