We're opening up The New Years Feedbag!

Got any New Year's questions for the 'boys, Emma & Yusong? Hit us up... we may answer on an upcoming Double!

Comments

I need more info on Wolly and Irma's relationship. Are they super close? Do they cuddle together? Tend to stay in the same room as each other? Or are they more like siblings who would only see each other on holidays but also they have to share a toilet.

Kelly Stiver

I'm curious, what are y'all's MBTI? It seems like Mitch is def an E_F_ while Wiger is more of an I_TJ. I'm INFJ. Thanks y'all!

Chadwick Ahn

Hi Doughboys, Emma and Yusong. Happy Chew Year! I've had Covid twice since June and my cardio is washed, I've put on about 25kg in that time. Assuming the virus did roughly as much damage as eating fast food twice a week for a podcast, any tips on mitigating catastrophic damage to health and fitness?

Mark from Kalamazoo: As someone on the spectrum going to restaurants can be overwhelming. Often I have to research the menu ahead of time so I don't get choice paralysis. This is also why I don't often go to too many different places. I think for me the perfect setup is an applebees at 12 on a weekday and sit at the bar so no one is near me. Do you have other restaurants that you think would fit that kind of criteria. Also I suspect with Wiegs love of trains and anti-social tendencies that he might be a fellow asd. Love the show.

Mark Pangle

Speaking of books (hi, Joe from Arkansas), I hope Mitch has supportive people in his life to help him process the . . . uncomplimentary treatment of Quincy in Percival Everett’s new novel, Dr. No. It would be spoilery to say too much, but hoo boy, the city gets roasted pretty intensely. Also, there is a minor character named Mitchell, so maybe the whole book is a roast of Mitch?

David Pagano

You guys talk a lot about how Shaq is a great replacement for disgraced spokesperson Papa John (he's great!), I wanna hear your pitches for a new Subway spokesperson!

billy

Book question: I have enjoyed hearing the Doughboys team's thoughts on various movies over the years. I would be interested to hear if any of you have one or more books that hold a special place in your hearts. On a related note, is there a particular book you have been intending to read for some time that you want to finally get to in 2023? Best wishes to all of you (and to fellow listeners) for the new year. Joe in Conway, Arkansas.

If you could only have fast food once a year, which chain would you choose and what would you order?

Sean

Hey Mitch and Burger Boy, what was your bite of the year for 2022?

Connor Handy

Happy 2023! (Long time listener, first time asking a question) I currently work as a copywriter for board games. Despite Nick’s documented bias for video games, I was wondering if 2023 could be the year that Doughboys designs an analog game. Do you have any ideas about the gameplay or any other elements you would want in the game? Or maybe you have other ideas for chain restaurant related games? Any personal favorite board games? Thanks in advance for doing my job for me.

Gabrielle segal

This question is for nick-What is an appropriate distance to post on an exercise app like “strava.” In the past I’ve deleted distances under a mile so my posts didn’t flood my friends’ newsfeed but post baby I care less as my total activities per week have decreased. I also want to get credit so it all counts towards challenges and yearly totals. Also what is the difference between a “hike” and a “walk” Seeing as a lot of folks resolutions are surrounding fitness was curious what your thoughts are. Thanks! 😺

Kelly Kurtz

Oh my god THANK YOU!!!!

Tess Lentz

What resolutions (besides "no meat shall I eat" have you been able to follow for the entire year? Any you are still following?

Israel

I learned about how Pringles get made from Doughboys — it's not a 'chip', it's some kind of substrate that gets poured into Pringles-shaped mold. I told my sister, and now she refuses to eat Pringles. Is there a snack or processed food that you no longer eat because you learned more about its production?

Kevin McCauley

What is your dream chain restaurant day? I'm talking breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert /late night 4th meal at four different chains. Geography is no obstacle, just have the very best day. Happy New Year to all of you!

Matthew Incantalupo

It's the "CBS Mailbag" theme from The Late Show with David Letterman

Matthew Incantalupo

What is a food or food item that you are looking forward to trying for the first time in 2023?

Ryan Doorley

Is there a food New Years resolution you have? Some kind of food you have not given a fair shake, and want to try to incorporate. more of? Something you want to try and stop eating? Or a restaurant you may avoided?

Brian B.

Not New Years themed but something I’ve been wondering all year: what in the actual fuck is the feed bag theme song??? I always listen on my commute and make a mental note to google it later, but when I finally remembered to do it, I couldn’t find anything! I used every google search trick I know and feel like I’m going insane.

Tess Lentz

I just had a baby 8 weeks ago. What do you think his first chain restaurant experience should be?

Suzanne Maruska

If free will exists, why does Yusong eat so much Chipotle?

Parker

I am looking forward to keeping up this bit in 2023. Please have yourselves a very joyous holiday and a very happy New Year, Doughboys crew.

Scott Dillon

What was the best thing you ate in 2022?

Samantha Tata

I was talking to a friend about ALF recently and it got me thinking - Where did ALF go to the bathroom? Did he use the toilet? A litter box? In the yard? If so, who was cleaning up after him? And since this is the New Years Feedbag, imagine if ALF made a resolution to give up cats (no meat shall he eat in 2023) and went vegetarian like Wiges did? What would this do to his digestive system after years of eating the kitties?

Mister Bates

What two or three chains would you like to take their talents to South Beach and create a super chain along the lines of KFC/Tacobell.

Drew Careymore

Hey DoughFam— We all remember the year Nick ate no meat (and how it ruined the podcast). For 2023, if you each had to eliminate one food group altogether (bread, meat, veggies, sugary treats, soda, alcohol, etc.) — which would you eliminate and how majorly would it ruin the podcast?

Andy Buck

Important question I've been thinking about: Thanksgiving has its own iconic sandwich that's eaten year round. Turkey, stuffing, some form of cranberry etc... (a Gobbler I've heard it referred to in the northeast). What would be the ingredients to a Christmas sandwich? What other holidays should have their own sandwich? I wish you all joyous Avatar screening experiences during this holiday season. Thanks. -Robert

Robert Kornhauser

What is your Mount Rice More? Curious about your favorite rice centric dishes! P.S. Yusong did nothing wrong.

Zack Sieger

I almost got hit by a car while listening to the doughboys, which made me think that its likely that someone's last moments were listening to a doughboys podcast. What doughboys episode do you think would be the best to go out to?

Adam

We all know wiger is against travel outside of the US. Is this a form of a vampire not liking to cross moving water? If you can’t travel for live shows elsewhere, what about remote records? Have you guys considered reaching out to The Worst Idea of All Time or bigsofttitty.png for some international flavour? Maybe get Claudia in on BST to keep Mitch on his toes?

Kelsey Desjardine

I am a 57-year-old woman Doughboys fan who will drag her same-aged husband to a Doughboys show next time you're somewhere accessible to Rochester NY, and I keep listening to your D'Angelo's "Don't Stop Believing" parody song with Carl Tart because it was 2022's most glorious moment. No question--just wanted you to get some love from an old lady fan!

beth

Are there any foods or snacks you're excited to try in the new year?

Mauricio Diocis

What’s a good meal to have on a date that won’t give any rumblies that could ruin the entire evening?

Brian Sweeney

A few years ago my wife and I were vacationing in Amsterdam with our friends. One of our friends has family there and we were invited over for dinner. We had been enjoying ourselves possibly a little too much and were really looking forward to a nice relaxing home cooked meal. The lady of the house told us we would be having lasagna and we couldn’t have been happier. When dinner time came and we were seated at the table she presented the main course and said “here you are, lasagna… with BANANAS AND RAISINS”. Yes, it was a normal lasagna but also with bananas and raisins added. It tasted exactly how you’d imagine. My question is, what’s the strangest, most unnecessary addition to a classic dish you’ve ever had?

Dan Mayhugh

Will Doughboys finally have a homecoming show for Wiger at Long Beach this coming year?!

Alex Delgado

I find myself wishing I had a good question to ask but I always come up short. How we feeling about 2023?

Sean Dempsey

If you had to do a 'New Year, New Me' type challenge similar to Wiger talking in a different voice for a year, what would your new self include? I think personally I would wear fake glasses and pretend to be smart

Mark Smith

If you had to stand in Times Square for 10 hours waiting for the ball to drop, what kinds of snack would you bring?

Erik Kang

What’s a weird food combination you’ve tried and liked? For me, as a kid, I was dared to put mustard on corn, and it was really good. Now on occasion, in my mid 30s, I still do it. Here’s to a happy chew year!

rez

What's your personal theme for the upcoming year?

Michael Raimondi

Mayhem! The Spoon Man caused The Burger Boy to lose the intercontinental championship last week on Raw. This week, McMahon announces a match at Survivor Series - Team Stairs vs Team Hot Salad. What three wrestlers, or UCB guys (I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️), are you choosing for your team? If I were picking, Brett Hart, Mick Foley, and Joe Saunders…?

Mike Welch

Hello from Cincinnati, home of Skyline Chili! My wife and I got married last NYE. If you were to get married on any holiday, which would you choose?

Blake

If you knew 2023 was going to be the last year (a comet like from Don't Look Up is coming. But a little bit bigger than that one.) how would your eating habits change?

Mitch Kapa

What is the ideal level of inebriation for midnight on New Years?

John Doe

We all love to see the ball drop, but what sort of ball-shaped foods do you want to drop into your open mouths?

Matt DeMotts

What's your go-to recovery/hangover routine?

Vivian Chen

Does Wiger have any advice about disconnecting from smartphones/the internet. I know he famously doesn't check his phone on Sundays and I'd like to adopt a similar habit as a resolution in the coming year. But as the father of a 2-year-old, I worry about being out of contact in case of emergencies. Any thoughts/tips? Thanks!

Tim

It’s after 11:30 on New Year’s Eve and you are starving. What are the best and worst foods to choose from a typical NYE spread to ensure a pleasant midnight kiss.

Brandon

After those midnight smooches, what's the first thing going in your mouths? Spoon Nation 5ever

Dylan

Any New Year’s traditions? My late husband always had to have black eyed peas on New Year’s Day so now I carry on that tradition.

Rachel Wery

Do you all seriously and actually see yourself working with each other again after Doughboys goes away?

John Briggs

Best way to spend NYE: bar, house party, or staying in?

Rachel Wery

In spirit of the holiday season, what is your favorite "unexpected" gift of all time? Specifically thinking about something that you didn't have on a list, or wasn't something you'd been dropping hints about. Something you didn't know you needed/wanted until you received it?

Matt Case

In the spirit of auld lang syne, what's a food you know you'll never get to have again that you miss? There was a wild plum tree in the farm I grew up on that died, and I'll never forget how much I loved those plums. Also, please bring back classic hunk Eugene Cordero.

Alan Juell

What are some food trends that you hope take off in 2023 and are there any that you would like to see put to rest in the new year?

Colin L

What’s a New Year’s resolution you’ve actually kept? (I honestly don’t think i have one so thought I’d see if I was an outlier or if people are consistent in failure)

Ryan Quinn

Do you have a "restaurant bucket list" of food establishments that you make it your goal to try? Either chains you haven't tried or famous single locations? My wife and I do and will often take this into account when making travel plans. In 2020 we went to NYC (before it shut down) and intentionally stayed in the closest hotel we could to Katz's Deli for this reason and it was well worth it. Thanks and happy holidays! PS - my wife recently started listening to the podcast and is firmly on the side of the Burger Brigade, sorry Mitch

Terry Mc

I would love to know about Wiger’s experience with Peloton and how it has helped in any way the last couple years. Favorite instructors, etc.

Jason Hickey

what is your mount Rushmore of presidents?

kent allen

How do you see yourself now? How would you like to see yourself in the future?

Nicole

My friends are having a NYE party, and the theme is "dips." If you had to pick one food for a themed New Year's celebration, which one would you pick? (I think "dips" is really good, especially since you can cheat and bring a lot of fun dippers. But I've got such a sweet tooth, I'm thinking cake maybe? Savory cheesecakes exist for a bit of a sugar break!)

Corinne Schwarz

What’s your ideal locale for New Years, and what do you like to eat there? I have spent many a NYE in a cabin in the woods with friends and/or family, and we usually do build-your-own-pizzas on a Boboli crusts.

Tyler Lorenz

My name is Eric Ziwak too if that helps lol

Zwizz Productions

What is the one meal you all love to make that is super easy to cook a prep?

Zwizz Productions

My birthday is NYE, and it is a pretty fun one. There is always a party to go to, but everyone cheers at midnight when my birthday is officially over. My question is do you clean your hands multiple times while you eat chicken wings or just once at the end?

Stephen St. Denis

PORK?!?!?!?

Carlos Torres

After a year of no meat, and now a year back eating meat, do you, Wiger, notice any changes with your body? Feeling, health, ext.

Ryan Gillespie

If you guys could go anywhere in the world and celebrate that country’s New Years festivities, where would it be and why? Love you guys, Happy New Years. ❤️

Chelsea

Do you guys know about the superstition of eating black eyed peas on New Years Day for good luck? If so, does anyone in the group partake?

Michael Martinez

2 Questions: What is your Mt. Rushmore for New Years snacks/drinks (Champagne, Charcuterie Board, etc)? And your opinions on the New Years "Ball Drop Culture"? The thought of standing in a large crowd for hours on end in the cold sounds so unpleasant.

Al

If you could go to a filmed themed restaurant which film would you want it to be? I might pick GoodFellas or a Potter movie

Fred

What constitutes your idea of a fun New Year’s Eve? I’m not sure I’ve ever had one, although watching old episodes of MTV’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve was pretty good last year until I fell asleep at 10.

John

Enough chew year resolutions! What do you feel like you did right in 2022 that you'll be taking with you to 2023 an beeyyoonnnnndddd!!?

Justin Davila

Any good New Years Eve memories? Once as a kid my grandpa let me shoot a shotgun into a lake. Almost dislocated my shoulder! I was like 9. Good times. Never really shot a gun again.

Tyler Costill

Thoughts on shrimp cocktail at a new years party???

a.n.w

Do you guys do pork and sauerkraut for new years? It’s become one of our favorite holiday meals

Adam Lee

None at this time, thank you!

Scott Dillon
