It could also be an episode of Heavyweight!

Kelly Stiver

Ira Gas I mean Evan Susser

Halp

Writing for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Jeffrey Loh

this felt like an episode of 99% invisible, with Roman Mars sending off his lackeys to do the dirty work and then talking shit when they come back to tell the story. 10/10 Emma and Susser

Lucas Cardoso

The entire episode was gold, but what really brought it over the top, for me, was that credit song. Bravo Emma (and Susser). Some of your best work yet!

Jana P

Damn Emma and Susser are so fucking talented.

Peter Jordan Toatley

truly riveting

Christopher Hyde

This was so good! Everyone needs to hear it - i hope it gets released to the main feed one day. S-tier investigation by sus and emma

Blingtron

Unreal. I’m no longer on the fence about the Commish

Dan

So Susser’s in between jobs, eh?

ChickenPaddy

Truly one of the most amazing episodes yet!

Danielle Abramson

Suss & Emma. This is genius! Bravo 👏

Andrew Chapman

More of this type of content, please! And, thank you!

Jamie

Listening back, I wonder if Susser and Emma were trying to create a five episode doughboys double arc that would have given the boys a break they claim they need. The irony?

actionjohnsen

Feels weird to feel the need to explain why this ep was so perfect…so I won’t because y’all get it. *chef’s kiss*

Ben

Amazing epp!!

Stephanie Mech

🔥🔥🔥 damn top tier ep

ccc

I hope this goes out to the public feed someday because more people need to hear this.

Evan

Maybe the best episode of Doughboys yet imho. Still have my fingers crossed for another Christmas Special (I won’t be sad if it doesn’t come because I get they’re a lot of work, but it would be great)

Martin Ross

Jeffrey, what is the correct pronunciation of boba? I’m curious!

Thanh-Thuy Doan

I've wanted to put a similar comment on how Jason on Podcast The ride pronounces boba (as in tapioca pearls or balls) but realized it would fall on deaf ears/blind eyes

Jeffrey Loh

I genuinely guffawed at the all-to-genuine description of Wiger and Mitch's personalities

Jeffrey Loh

This was both amazing and bewildering and we are all better people for it having existed

AFistfulofGwildors

This. Is. Amazing!! The acoustic cover of Wiger’s hot dog song at the end is KILLING me

Kristy Ann

I’m hyped for episode 2 🌭

actionjohnsen

I’d like to correct the pronunciation of banh mi. It’s not pronounced BOND mi, it’s not a James BOND mi. The closest approximation in English is BUN mi, as in a hot dog BUN. This is the South Vietnamese accent. In the North Vietnamese accent, the closest approximation is BANG mi, and yes it sounds like you’re asking to BANG me. Either pronunciation is correct. This was a fun episode, and I loved how you guys investigated this hot dog scandal.

Thanh-Thuy Doan

Sorry guys Emma is the true star of this show!

Casey Marzari

damn I used to go to American Trash like twice a month when I was a weed delivery guy in NY and had to kill time for sometimes hours a day but stay in the Upper East Side. Truly one of the worst bars I have ever been to as a lifelong dive bar guy and the fact it took place here makes the story way worse than anyone can imagine I invite ppl to google the place lol. I shudder thinking about my time spent there.

Abdool Baseer

Susser knocked this one out of the park.

Andrew Schaner

Fuckin so good 👏

Schafer

This was really clever, funny, touching, and inspirational...This should win a "Poddy"

Mr. Tay Tay

Should probably unlock this one to the public for posterity.

Sean Sweeney

This is truly fucking spectacular.

Mark Parsons

I assume Susser & Emma have been shortlisted for a Doughlitzer Prize for this?

Jenny Potter

I love how this follows the basic premise of the Heavyweight podcast but absolutely obliterates every episode of that within the first 10 minutes. The dboys double has been extra on point recently. Spooky buddies episode and this one are all time greats

Johnny Eckerd

This is Doughboys at its best. It’s only downhill from here. I couldn’t have loved this episode more.

Christina

David might actually be the least insufferable person involved for not wanting to be part of this or even remembering such a silly incident.

Brian Fastner

The song was beautiful!

Leelu Baloo

Alone in my apartment, about halfway through this podcast, I was overcome with the loudest, most obnoxious belly laughs. They continued till the very end. Just a perfect episode.

Stephen David Miller

Absolutely incredible top to bottom....wow

BenJamin

Everything about that was perfect. I feel genuinely bad for non-patreon subscribers.

Marika Kobel

What a dang delight of an episode. A true exploration of friendship and petty bullshit. Got misty eyed at the end, really good stuff

Joshua Steiner

Talk about “The Power of the Dog”.

David Walters

This was worth the whole year of subscribing.

William Frederick

I cried! Great episode

kent allen

Incredible

BC19

Wow

Chel

The song at the end. So good.

Benjamin Johnson

Many years ago, I ordered sliders at a bar while I played shuffleboard with a friend. The game lasted longer than expected, and when I returned to my table, my friends had eaten my food because "they assumed I didn't want it anymore." I was genuinely pissed, and I'm pretty sure I walked out. Don't eat anyone's food without permission, folks.

Alec Lindsey

That was maybe one of the best episodes of a podcast ever, and the outro song was PERFECTION.

Michaela Parry

Is this the best podcast episode ever?

Philip

Wow. What a compelling exploration of a longtime friendship's role in one's life & the ways in which your perception of it can change over time. Absolutely haunting outro music as well. Bravo/brava to all involved.

Simone

This was funny and then took a heartwarming turn at the end! I'd totally listen to these kind of eps on the reg! Great job Sus and Emma!

Alyson LaMothe

Perfection.

Fred Mercado

I come to this show for cum jokes and to hear about Mitch’s feelings towards his mom. Not rebuilding friendships

Seamus Doyle

Fuck this serious feelings shit, give me another SCALE

Seamus Doyle

Suss has that weird thing in his voice where he goes UP at random WORDS when he SPEAKS? I always feel like he's on the verge of TEARS when he TALKS? That being said 5 out of 5 fork ep.

Geoff

So good

Tate Allen

Episode of the year.

Brandon Cardenas

This was giving me This American Life vibes.

Thanh-Thuy Doan

I loved this. It more organic mysteries arise I would love more Doughvestigations. But also surprised they didn’t get more into the detail of the listening party held…

Molly Hamill

I could not love this more. Nice work, Suss and Emma!

Melissa Eick

Wow, great job Emma!

Neil L

No joke, can this be a monthly thing that Evan does? I’d pay extra for it

Drew

The song at the end 😂 Wow

Dr. Wesley Rebarcak

I love this

Rebe K

Also I feel pretty stupid for initially buying into that "David" clip.

William Ryan

This is one of the best and dumbest episodes yet.

William Ryan

That was incredible.

Jeff Pomaybo

I laughed, I cried. What a journey.

Bradley

Wow, and there's four more parts of this?!

HT Miller

Sarah Koenig eat your heart out. & don't forget to smother it in condiments first.

ronjer_spats

Great work Evan & Emma I laughed very hard.

Jack Bils

More of the hard hitting doughnalism we expect! Can’t wait to calls of fake chews from wiger and nick, the Jan 6 comparisons, turning it on Susser for being in the DMV during that time. Glorious

Zachary Brincefield

I can't wait to listen to this.
