Comments

People say I should like olives based on the other foods I eat and my vibe, is there any foods like that for you? Or that you think you should like but you just don’t?

Jaimie

Will the doughboys company be purchasing one of those new flying cars to travel to shows in?

meatlazer1

With the popularity of the Grimace birthday shake, what chain restaurant mascot do you think should get their own birthday/holiday/anniversary item next and what should that item be?

Michelle Zeng

IF YOU COULD SOAK YOUR BRAIN IN A LIQUID WHAT WOULD YOU SOAK IT IN? 🧠

TRAILERPARKHERO

When I travel I always carry snacks. Mini Snickers, crackers, granola bars and Mentos are some of my go-tos. Any travel snacks you can’t leave home without?

Glau

What ability or attribute of each other would you like to have yourself?

Patrick Smith

As a boy in Nashville there was the Colonial Bread Factory (actually very near Zanies!), so that area always smelled like fresh baking bread. Then in college in Lexington, KY, I lived near the Jif peanut butter factory which always smelled like roasting peanuts. Do you have any food smell memories like this?

Austin Gilpin

Have you guys been playing diablo 4?

Phil Plachta

That's a double right there.

Austin Shippy

If you could make your tongue not register one taste (salty, sweet, umami, etc) what would it be and why?

Travis Williams

Who could fast longer? Wiger or SpoonMan?

Hassan Khalatbari

Which cartoon characters got the juiciest asses to y'all? My pick would be Ned Flanders. Stupid, sexy, Flanders...

meatlazer1

I recently broke my ankle playing coed rec league softball. Can you think of any notable food injuries you've had (besides the common ones like burning the roof of your mouth eating pizza?)

Drew Kowalewski

Hello! Just has some local "upscale" ramen, and my bowl had a half-flippn' bock choy! Like, in one piece. So, my question is; can you remember coming across a "how do I eat this?" moment?

Austin Shippy

I just listened to the opening ceremony of the infamous Doughlympics and heard Yusong did a pilgrimage with hot sauce from the 1st Chili’s episode to the studio. Does that mean he took a bottle of hot sauce from the Chili’s or took an already existing hot sauce bottle there and back?

bryce reeves

Which character in the fast food universe would you propose to and why?

Maria Tate

What is the best toy you ever got from a kid’s meal?

Brent Hibbard

Do you refer to them as chicken tenders or chicken fingers?

HotBoySoup

What chemically created foods do you think animals would love? For instance there is a video of a chimp guzzling Baja Blast and seemingly loving it. Would a lion like a Slim Jim? What about a barnyard where Nerdz are scattered for the chickens?

Jesse Hedding

Idea for a double - Best I Never Had. You both bring in a food that you love that the other has never tried and give real time reviews

Taylor

What sort of attractions and food would you guys have if you opened a Doughboys Theme Park? -Billy from NC

billy

I learned recently that different people have different internal thought processes, some more visual and some more with words/ internal monologue (for instance, if I plan out my day I will tend to just picture the various activities I will do in order, not talk through it with myself...) . In discussing this with friends I realized that I cannot actually imagine the taste of anything ( I can picture an apple in my mind, I can't "taste" the apple, though I can "feel" the crunch) So my question is, when you are ordering a meal do you think more in images, words or taste? (or touch or sound?)

Al Grant

Can you do a double about the mission impossible series called Mitchin' Im-pod-able? Feel free to make it a whole month. Stay stupid x

Danny Knox

Hi doughteam! I have a kind friend who wants to feed me in times of need. Both times I've had a baby and any time I'm going through a tough time she shows up with food. Unfortunately, it is disgusting. It's always bland, weird, watery soup and she brings it by the gallon. I feel awful throwing it out, but there's no way I'm eating it and it takes up space in my fridge. Have you ever gotten an inedible food gift? Is there a better way to handle this, or do I keep accepting and trashing the soup? Thanks for everything! -Dani from Pennsylvania

Dani

When is the album of all the parody songs going to be released? Need all versions of let me be frank on their too. 🌭

Dana Hamelin

Greetings and Salmutations, Parasocial Friends! I'm a long-time US expat living in Seoul, South Korea for 11+ years. People often ask me what food I miss from the grand ol' USofA and I usually draw a blank because in an increasingly homogenous global capitalistic hellscape, I can basically get whatever I want here as well. There are more minor exceptions, more about how readily available certain things are and fast food permutations leave a bit to be desired (I'm looking at you, vastly inferior version of Taco Bell), but I've already digressed enough. Actual question: Were you forced to become a permit resident abroad (barring all of North and South America in order to make Wiger cross a fucking ocean for once) where would you go and why? Love the show beyond words, you guys make me laugh aloud on public transport, choo-choo and bus alike. P.S. Do a live show in Seoul (it will never happen, I know, I know). I'll show you the best spots and what real Korean BBQ is like (as much as K-Town is about as close as you can get, though not close enough). Josh from Seoul-by-way-of-Chicago

Josh Rohrmayer

Limes or Lemons?

Thom van Tijn

Are there any pleasant imperfections in food that you love? I love a large bubble on the crust of a pizza or the impressions on the bottom of a candy bar.

Thomas

Will you rate the flavors of Pringles and then explain why the "pizza" flavor is king?

BiPolarBear

If you're putting hot sauce on a burrito, do you pour a little bit on before each bite or do you unwrap the burrito and put all the hot sauce in at one time?

Carlos

Hi guys My partner and I are about to take a road trip from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver Island, B.C., and have bookmarked a few Canadian chain restaurants to visit while we're up there, including White Spot (they supposedly have a great veggie burgers), New York Fries (which despite the name originated in Canada and specializes in poutine and loaded hot dogs), and A&W (which as you know is a completely different experience in Canada vs. the U.S.). My question is, what's your Mt. Road-trip-meals-more? Are you chasing new-to-you regional delights, or do you stick to the drive-thrus that you're used to? P.S. I learned about these Canadian chains on Stop Podcasting Yourself. When Mitch guested on SPY last year, he said hosts Dave & Graham should be on Doughboys. So uh, what's the deal Mitch? Is that happening, or what? A SPY/Doughboys crossover would be a dream come true for me, and a nightmare come true for my beloved life partner who patiently listens to me tell him what my "best friends" Mitch & Wiges and Dave & Graham are up to each week. P.P.S. Love you so much, Spoon Nation for life.

Elisabeth

What fast food chain would you punch up to a 3 star MITCHelin restaurant? Menu would be the same but just fancier.

Oscar Quintanilla

Are there any food or foods that you never buy because either you, your spouse or a family member cooks it better? Example; I never go to steak houses. I refuse to pay for a steak after eating at two steak houses and being completely disappointed and ripped off.

Matt G.

sup doughboys media conglomerate, hot doughy summer is here. whats the (menu?) lineup for a july 4th wknd doughboys cookout blockparty blow out? maybe treat this for real like what you would bring to the holiday, cookies?, or like a more generous a spin off of your mt foodmore ranking. ex. Duff beer + DMB Friday? Chicken wings + Metallica Saturday. Chill Majong mist tent? Scorpion's Daughter's suplex dunk tank? Rumblies recovery w gemmy the dog shaped plushy belly rubs? i dont fkn know. big state/county fair energy here, but lookin forward to hearing yall are out there with the people eating the stuff america goes a lil too hard on. also will you do a watch along of 2019's 30for30 The Good, The Bad, The Hungry (Season S4 Ep. E23, ESPN+) the library of congress needs that episode for posterity. thanks for the promo codes.

DannyC

Hi Doughboys, I am planning to propose to my partner at the end of the summer. Do you have any suggestions for what a romantic summer meal (could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner) would look like. Thanks!

Wilfred

Hey Doughboys, When you inevitably run out of ideas for the Double and have to finally do the Snack or Whack: Cum episode, do you think you'll follow the Pepsi Challenge rules or will it just be more of a BYOC situation?

Brian Metz

If you had to kill one mascot who would it be and how would you do it?

Connor

Hey, y'all! Long time listener, first time feedbag question asker. There's something out there called the 6-12-18-24 challenge. The deal is that you've got to accomplish four tasks - eat donuts, run/walk miles, masturbate (to completion), and drink beers. You assign each of the tasks to one of the numbers (6, 12, 18, or 24) - that will be the amount you have to do or consume of each. You've got 24 hours. So, for example, you could: drink 6 beers, walk/run 12 miles, eat 18 donuts, and masturbate (to completion) 24 times (or any combination therein). So my question is: what would your strategy be? Note: I defer to Emma or Amelia should any technical or rules-related questions arise. Thanks!

Daniel M

Hey Doughboys Team! Food tends to bring up memories and nostalgia which you talk about a lot. Do you have any menu items or restaurants that you reserve for bad days since you don’t want bad memories attached to some of your go-to chains or menu items? Living in NY, we save dominos for bad days since it isn’t the best pizza in the world but is a great comfort food. There is also McDonalds drive thru across the street from a funeral home that our extended family uses and we ourselves to “wake and shake” frozen treat as we start our trip home after a sad day. Thanks. Love the show!

CrashDavis1986

Hey guys, it’s Emilio/Undead from the Doughscord; If you could have access to any specific sauce/condiment, no matter what restaurant or fast food location you went to, what would it be? For me, it’s Wingstop’s ranch. Also to answer your previous question about McDonald’s Sprite; it comes in the boxed bags of syrup, just like any other location. Only the Coke comes in the metal containers. My guess is they use more carbonation in the mix than the average Sprite. I haven’t worked there in almost two years now. Thanks, love the show!

Emilio

I recently returned from a trip where my flight was delayed by 5 hours, and came home beat and hungry as hell only to happily remember I left a bagel in the freezer. If you have the foresight, as I rarely do, to leave yourself a satisfying treat or meal for when you get back from a trip, what would you want it to be? Must take perishability into consideration! PS loved seeing yall at Foxwoods

Sam

Hi DB team! I have a lot of history of working in fast food/chains in my youth (Subway, Sonic, Dominos, Lonestar steakhouse, American Cafe). One highlight was we would get to create our own meals. My fave was creating a double decker thin crust pizza at Dominos (they used to offer something similar called a melt) which was basically 1 thin crust pizza topped with another thin crust pizza. If given the opportunity, what fast food creation would you slap together? (I'd also do a Subway sub with chicken breast, marinara, mozz, and banana peppers; tried to recreate a chicken cutlet melt). Love the show and have been a fan since Jason Mantzoukas S/O y'all out on HDTGM years ago! - Jessie from ATL

Jessie

If you could create your own sports team, what sport, city, name, colors, and mascot would you choose? Thanks and love the pod! P.S. Mitch and I are Eskimo brothers. We met in NYC and spoke briefly about it.

Zac

Hi folks. I'm a big backyard gardener and I've really found success growing peas and carrots. The best part about peas is that you can eat the container and the filling at once and it's warm right off the vine. Carrots right from the garden I'll just rub the dirt off on my pants and eat em. My question is - what is the grossest food to eat without washing it? Love you!

ian giesbrecht

What is your pre-DMV meal (or snack) before possibly being stuck in line for hours? Also, do you have any ideas on how to get people ahead of me in line to give up and go home?

jeffrey Miller

Even though Nick never wants to go on tour again - would y’all consider a New Orleans specific touring stop on da bayou? We deserve a show since our food is tops and your impressions of a New Orleans drawl are impeccable.

Shannon Bobal

Hi y'all, what is the most remote /out of the way place you have ever eaten? Dining establishments only, snacks brought with you don't count.

ruth trow (roaminghart11)

Hello to Mitch, Wiger, Emma, Amelia, Susser, the ghost of Yusong, Wolly, Irma, and the rest of the Doughboys extended universe. My friends and I frequent Sonic drive-ins, using their app (which isn't crap, by the way) and we try and guess what the name of our carhop will be. Closest without going over wins. Do you have any fun fast food traditions or games you play at food stops? Thanks for the laughs, Thomas from Missouri #spoonnation

Thomas Cook

Nick has mentioned having McDonald's after running a marathon as one of the best meals of his life. But what would be the best *single food item* to eat in bulk in the same situation? No second ingredient, you just have to eat a shitload of one thing. I lean toward allowing seasoning, but podcasters' choice.

Eric

In 1966, England hosted the men’s Football World Cup. Despite the World Cup trophy itself being at one point stolen and then later found by a dog, England would go on to lift that trophy in their first and only World Cup victory. In the years that have followed that famous day in the swinging sixties, England football fans have dealt with endless years of hurt and pain and as a result have adopted the phrase, it is the hope that kills you as it’s supporters unofficial motto as it seems to be that lifting World Cup trophy and even hosting the event itself are forever out of reach. Another event that always seems to be out of reach for those residing on this little island is the Doughboys live show. And whilst it has not been 57 years of hurt, the four years since 2019 when the show was meant to take place and the hoping of it being announced that it will be happening again has led to the people of England once again realising, it is the hope that kills you. This week on the Feedbag, Dr Spoonman or How I learned to stop worrying and love the Tomorrow War. -Jake Botterell, not talented enough to make a drop that conveys my pain.

Jake Botterell

What’s is like meeting fans of doughboys?

Alan

Hi Yusong, Emma, Nick and Mitch. It's summer time which is berry time for me. My question is simple - what's your favourite berry and preparation of that berry. An artificial simulacrum of a berry or a made up berry doesn't count, like strawberry gum or Frankenberry cereal. I'm in western Canada and the saskatoon berries are starting to ripen and they are great right off the bush (ugh..). And my favourite preparation is saskatoon pie (not cupcake) a la mode especially my late grandmother's recipe. Thanks and Nang Gang for life. Erik

Erik Holmund

Hey Nick, Mitch, Emma, Amelia, Casey, and the rest of the team! I have been shopping for cars lately, and the market is really bad right now. I find myself in a scenario where there are really no “good” options when I weigh against metrics like interest rate, vehicle trim selection, and vehicle mileage. However, I’m sure I could tolerate the best of these bad options if push came to shove. So, I have a “best of the worst” food question for you. Which of the following food items is the MOST FORGIVABLE when EXECUTED POORLY? That is, which would you be most likely to FINISH despite poor execution, and why? A) Pizza B) Burger C) Wings D) Burrito Thanks! Kofi (rhymes with trophy)

Kofi Christie

Do you want someone to do AI voices and art for the Doughboys and can that person be me for $0.00?

Matt Rosfelder

What is your most satisfying non-sexual bodily sensation? For me, I would have to say tie between drinking water when super thirsty or getting a booger that is so far back it's like attached to my brain and then you can breathe again afterwards.

Joseph Derian

I want to apologize on behalf of Minnesota for making you go to Taco John's. I truly don't know anyone who likes anything there, aside from those potato ole's. I was wondering if you have any memorable experiences of convincing someone to try a restaurant or food where they absolutely hated it, or maybe a time when you remembered a food fondly and talked it up to people, only to learn that it's actually garbage. Thanks for all the laughs, and sorry to Emma for the food poisoning!

Kathryn Evans

I once not-so-famously waited in line to see you in Detroit for 12 hours, and I was wondering what the longest you've ever waited in line for something and if it was worth it or not?

Tyler Davis

After you've dipped a knife or spoon in to a condiment or sauce, how many taps do you do on the lid to clear it off? Do you even do a tap? I could also see a quick wipe off, or if you're at home and it's a tasty one, a quick lick. Love the show.

Gabe Ubatuba

If you could travel back in time for any original or older version of a fast food menu item, what would it be? Think: first Big Mac, pre-chain Taco Bell, etc.

Benjamin Schaefer

Hello Doughboys and Doughgirls! Maybe a boring question but: What does an average shopping trip look like for you? Do you have any go-to snack brands/freezer items/ingredients for meals that you always have on hand? Every piece of the Doughboys puzzle is perfect and the show rocks! Thank you!

Stew D. Jenkins

If you had to get a tattoo of a fast food item what would it be and where would you put it

MicahL

What is the most important food item that lives in the door of your refrigerator? Butter and Eggs do NOT count. I'm thinking sauces/bottles/jars etc.

Dingus

Is there a food that you know tastes good but you can’t eat it because of how it smells? Either because it simply smells bad, or you have a bad memory associated with that particular smell?

Dan Palesano

If you could choose, who would be the next lays chip sponsored athlete and what would be the flavor? Also, what would your Lays chip flavor be if the Doughboys had their own chip?

Will Farias

My picks are fruit (banana, orange, cherry, pineapple) or maybe even a mild cheese... or sweet potato??

Ethan

What is the best dinner to eat while simultaneously playing a videogame?

Eddarrd88

Seeing as how it's the beginning of college moving season, have you ever had any sort of really bad move-in or out experience with a bad landlord, location, or anything else? Personally, I have had landlords attempt to take my whole security deposit to repaint an entire house that we did not damage the paint on, as well as being charged an exorbitant amount for not cleaning the blades of a ceiling fan.

Ken Carter

how bout I throw myself into the fire in this nightmare hell world that you've constructed?

David Powell

What is your go-to tummy rumbles cure? Do you go towards any particular foods in these trying times, I find that yogurt & kombucha really help me, or do you stick to indigestion medicines? Thanks!!

Seth

I recently ordered a double cheeseburger at shake shack and they accidentally added a 3rd patty. What’s been your favorite positive food order mistake?

Kris Tabor

Hey Doughboys, I grew up in central Illinois where the fried pork tenderloin sandwich is a ubiquitous menu item. I didn't realize it was a regional specialty until I moved away and couldn't find it anywhere. Were there any favorites from your childhood that you didn't know were just local?

Bill Zilch

Hey Doughboys gang! My much more intelligent and accomplished wife recently started listening to the show and she loves it. She has numerous food allergies, and I think she enjoys hearing about all the different foods you get to try that she could never eat. My question is, have you ever had an allergy-friendly food that you thought was better than the real thing, for example a really good gluten free cookie or non-dairy ice cream?

Colin L

What's a food that you have done a 180 on? I had a bad school lunch hot dog in 4th grade & basically was "I hate hotdogs for 5 years" now I like them again

David Powell

The nearest civilization to Pamlico! Haha. Small Doughboys world!

Karen Ackiss

There’s an internet rumor going around that Hans Zimmer is the composer behind the new BK “have it your way” jingle (the whopper whopper one here - https://youtu.be/9cPxh2DikIA ). According to this rumor, instead of being outright paid for the jingle, he was given shares of BK that would be worth over $1 billion. I can’t speak to the validity of this rumor, but it made me wonder - what chain needs a jingle update (or addition), and who should compose/perform it?

Kathleen

I'm not far from you at all, I'm in New Bern!

Terry Mc

What is the longest you went without food and why did you have to fast?

Tom Martorelli

Hello from an Eastern NC-er who’s moved to the mountains! From Pamlico County :)

Karen Ackiss

Which chain restaurant do you think is the most consistent? McDonald's is definitely a contender, but I also feel like Chick-Fil-a and Raising Cane's, in particular, are super consistent.

Josh Compton

On a zoo date, which exhibit is the best to kiss at?

Alan Juell

Fun fact before my question: The actor who plays the "ass to ass" guy from Requiem for a Dream is also the guy masturbating on the subway in Black Swan. In fact, he is canonically the SAME guy, meaning there exists an Aronofsky Cinematic Universe held together by a single pervert. My question is: what is your ideal chain restaurant day? I'm taking breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert/4th meal. Assume geography and money are no object.

Matthew Incantalupo

If you guys ever opened a Doughboys themed pop up restaurant, what would be a few menu items you’d have? Obviously the cum crème brûlée, but what else?

Andrew

Food becomes poop. Have you ever clogged a toilet somewhere other than your own home? I clogged a work toilet during the first month or so working at a telemarketer. It overflowed when the next person went in and tried to flush it. Everyone freaked out, and they all talked non stop trying to figure out who did it. The girl I had a crush on stared at me and raised an eyebrow. I wanted to die. Any tales from the feedbagboys and ladies?

Kyle Beaudette

In a Street Fighter-esque fighting game, which Fast Food Mascots would be your mains, and why?

Christopher Brown

Fuck Marry Kill: McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's Pizza Hutt, Dominos, Papa Johns KFC, Popeyes, Jollybee Doritos Nacho Cheese, Doritos Cool Ranch, Doritos Spicy

Ryan Doorley

Who is a childhood/lifelong celebrity crush of yours, and if you had the chance to make dessert for them with items from a grocery story, what would you prepare?

Antho

Hello Doughboys! I live in Eastern North Carolina where our regional variant of "barbecue sauce" is not smoky or ketchup based, but is a thin dressing made of red pepper flakes and apple cider vinegar. Although I love "normal" BBQ sauce, I have to say I prefer the local style better, especially when it comes to pulled pork! Are there any regional variations on a common dish or condiment that you prefer to the more widespread variant? PS please get BugMane2000 on the pod, bzz bzz 🐛

Terry Mc

Scenario: Marshmallows have been outlawed. You're having a summer bonfire - What is the best replacement ingredient to make a smore? Things to consider: - should complement chocolate and graham cracker well - should ideally be roastable (you want something hot that can melt the chocolate slab) - can't be marshmallow-adjacent (vegan marshmallows or fluff)

Ethan

If you could only have one preparation of corn (such as corn on the cob, tortillas, cornbread, popcorn, etc.) for the rest of your lives without being able to have any others, what would you choose?

Blair Kuehn-Smith

Would you rather get way too high and be in a haze or get a little too high and see hayes (Davenport)

Jake I

Hey D-boys and friends! My question is what food do think you would be in a Sausage Party style movie? I like to think I’d be a pork chop. Love the show, thanks!

Josh Ries

When you go out for a social lunch but your employer is picking up the tab, how much above the minimum meal price do you go with your order? For example, I typically look at the price for a chicken option, and then let myself order from the next price tier up from that - be it pasta, beef, seafood etc.

Chris Bell

Pare*

Matt Grondin

If you could pair down a restaurant from large menu to small, or small to large, what would you do? Some examples, McDonald’s now only does Big Macs, fries, and shakes, or In-n-out goes all in on chicken, burritos, salads, etc…

Matt Grondin
